On Things You Desire Still Not Being Manifested

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE INCOMPLETE DESIRES - ALWAYS - BECAUSE NEW DESIRES ARE CONTINUALLY BEING BORN
LEARN TO BE HAPPY IN THE INCOMPLETION - BECAUSE AS ETERNAL BEINGS, FULFILLMENT OF YOUR DESIRE WILL ALWAYS BE INCOMPLETE

We never get it done. (...)

Since you are eternal, then there will always be another exposure to another contrasting experience, which will cause you to give birth to yet another new desire, which, since you just gave birth to it, is not complete.

And what we want you to come away from this gathering feeling very powerfully is that exhilarating crevice between having given birth to a new idea, to a new preference, and it not yet being completed,
but you’re on your way to the completion of it because it’s on the way.

It’s that on-the-way crack that is your life.

You keep thinking that you want to get through the crack, through the crevice, and over to the place where the manifestation is complete.

And we say well, you can do that,
and you will -
you’ll get your new house,
you’ll get your new car and
you’ll get your new lover -
you’ll get your new stuff.
It will constantly come to you, because when you ask, it is always given.

But the thing that we really want you to feel is that now you’re just going to be standing in another new place
with other contrasting experiences
which are going to give birth to another yet new desire
which is still going to be incomplete.

So we see so many of you standing in this place where you feel incomplete,
but you’re unhappy in your incompletion.

“I will feel so much better when my lover comes.
I will feel so much better when my money comes,
or when my new house comes.”

And you have to get over that.

You have to feel good in the crack;

you have to feel happy in the crevice of incompletion.

And unless you are, then you’re going to hold yourself in this negative, annoyed, resistant, irritated, unhappy, incomplete-feeling, inadequate, insecure attitude that will prevent what you’re asking for from coming to you.

Did that just make sense?

You have to be happy in the crack;

you have to be excited about wanting something that hasn’t come yet.

So you want to get to the place that when people say to you
“Has that thing you’ve been talking about come yet?”
You want to say: "No" (calmly), not "Noooo!" (in despair).

“No, it hasn’t come yet,
which means I’m still alive,
which means I’m still adjusting,
which means I’m still adjusting my vibration.”

And what is it that you are adjusting your vibration to?

You’re adjusting your vibration,
not from not having this thing you want to having this thing you want,
you’re adjusting your vibration
from being unhappy about not having it
to being happy even though you don’t have it.

When you’re happy even though you don’t have it, then you’ll have it.

But as long as you’re unhappy about not having it, that unhappy is a vibration that holds it away.

When you’re unhappy about not having it, you’re practicing the art of resistance.
And when you’re resisting, you can’t have it.

“Well, how do I get happy about not having something that I really want?”

Well, it takes practice.
It takes understanding you’re eternal.
It takes understanding that you’re on your way.
It takes beginning to enjoy the process.

If we were standing in your physical shoes (and we often are),
and we were on our way to something that is in our mind -
we’re looking forward to it,
we’re not there yet, we haven’t achieved it yet - we would feel anticipation,
we would feel eagerness,
we would feel optimism;
we would feel enjoyment
or pleasure at watching how clever the Universe is in organizing a way to give it to us.

We wouldn’t be beating the drum of
“It’s taking too long”,
we’d be beating the drum of
“Well look at that, well look at that, well wasn’t that interesting - look how it is unfolding!”
because when you start beating the drum of "
I’m happy in my incompletion",
things speed up so fast.

When you ask, it is given every single time.

DON'T WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT A DESIRE YOU FOLLOW HAVING TO BE "JUST RIGHT" BEFORE YOU GO TOWARDS IT

Say yes to whatever it is.
Because if you say yes to it
and then you get in the middle of it, and you say,
“Uh oh, this isn’t really turning out the way I wanted it to,”
then out of that is born another desire.
And as you say yes to that, then it turns out.
And you say, “Well, it’s still not quite right.”
So you have another desire.
Until eventually you get it exactly right.

You cannot get it wrong.
No creation is ever complete.
Just do it.

On Not Knowing Exactly What You Want

As you decide what it is that you are wanting
the entire Universe gets to work upon making that a reality within your physical experience.

[If] you make no decisions about what is important,
then you are not a Selective Sifter
but a receiver of ALL things,
and that is the reason for [feelings of] confusion.

Therefore, the more decisions that you make in any day
the more selective sifting you will do,
and the less confusion,
and the more satisfaction you will feel.

EVOLUTION OF WANTING & OF DESIRE

As you have evolved upon the face of the Earth
there has been much wondrous creation.
And your creations have become more magnificent
as you have achieved new perspetives with the receiving of each new creation.

That is what evolvement is:
wanting from a current perspective,
allowing and receiving it,
and as you receive that which is wanted,
you also receive a newer, clearer, broader perspective
from which to make your next intemtion.

As a collective group of beings who inhabit your Earth,
you have evolved tremendously.

Speed of Desire Manifestation Depends on your Harmony with the Desire

At any point in time within your physical experience
there are many intentions present
and as they are harmonious, there is forward motion.
And as they are not harmonious, there is slower forward motion or no forward motion at all,
depending upon the degree of disharmony.

-

Your thoughts are drawn to your dominant intention within any moment
and as you are focused upon that intention
you are creating.

-

ON UNIDENTIFIED DESIRES
UNIDENTIFIED DESIRES RESULT IN A LACK OF FOCUS:

When you have not identified what your dominant intention is,
your creative power is diffused
because you create in many directions -
sometimes in many conflicting directions -
thus the feeling of standing still.

DESIRE IS THE STARTING KEY TO DELIBERATE CREATION

Desire is the beginning of all creation.
As you identify clearly what it is that you desire
then you wlil continue your magnificent deliberate creating
as you have begun it with your birth into this physical life.

- Abraham Hicks

[spiritualcookie]

Understand that magnificent creating comes through powerful wanting,.
through clear and deliberate thought with high emotion.

-

Wanting or intending is the beginning of the Creating Process,
and without it, no deilberate creation will occur.

LACK OF DESIRE CAN BE A DEFENCE MECHANISM TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT

Most of you are suppressing your desires to avoid disappointment.

When you are children there is much that you want
but as you grow older, not understanding the Creative Process,
you begin to suppress your wanting to avoid disappointment of not receiving.

When you do not understand that every thought creates,
then you do not understand how your thoughts of doubt or disbelief push what you want away from you.
And in your lack of understanding of what is keeping your wants from being realized,
you gradually allow yourself to want less and less.

- Abraham, 1988

Lack of focus can result in not clearly knowing what you want

Because of your highly technological society in which you have access to information from all around the Earth, it is no wonder that you have a difficult time thinking about the life experience that you are living and that you are creating.

Your thoughts are continually diverted,
continually diffused
and continually unfocused.

Because you are not focused, and because you do not allow yourselves to want [for fear of being disappointed]
there is very little expression of positive emotion that comes forth from within. (...)

We encourage you, now, from your physical perspective...
to make a decision to be clearly focused upon what you want to experience in the time that is before you.
Allow yourself to feel the joyous excited emotion fo anticipation as you imagine the fulfillment of your intentions. (...)

Your focused attention to that which you want will always bring forth excited emotion -
and the excited emotion is the indicator that you creation is being propelled forward.

- Abraham Hicks, New Beginnings I pg 86

FIND THE LITTLE DESIRES IN EVERY SEGMENT OF EVERY DAY TO GIVE EACH SEGMENT A POINT OF FOCUS

It is a good idea always when you are moving into any new segment of your life experience,
and there are many in every day,
that you take a moment to identify what it is that you are wanting.
For as you do that, you become the selective sifter and in fact, Deliberate Creator of this segment.

If you do not take the time to identify what you are wanting,
then you are not as deliberate
and you may easily be influenced by what is happening around you -
or by your own old habits that no longer apply.

- Abraham Hicks, Jan 20 1988

When you don't know what you want, go general

We encourage all of you to say:
"I intend joyous creation.
I intend joyous creative survival.
I intend harmony.
I intend to eat well and be warm and be surrounded by those that I am harmonious with."
And as you set those intentions in motion
you will begin attracting the circumstances and other thoughts which will bring it about
and bring the detail of it into clearer focus for you.

As you try to deal with the details of that which is so vague and far away, like,
"What will I do for work?" or
"What will I do for money?"
those sorts of things,
it is too far away for you to think about that, you see.

But as you try to deal with the unknown details,
because you don't currently have enough information,
that is where your miscreating begins to occur.
That is where fear comes in.
That is when you start worrying.
And fear or worry is a signal that you are miscreating.

- Abraham
