So, Abraham say that getting into alignment with our desires is much like driving from point A to point B, from Phoenix to San Diego as they always describe and for most of that journey you're not at your destination yet. And they also say that 99.99% of every creation/manifestation is completed by us vibrationally before any physical evidence shows up, so it takes quite a bit of alignment work from us before our manifestation arrives. Both the car trip analogy and this one dovetail perfectly, correct?

However, in a practical sense, how does this actually work, since it's unfeasible for us to be in perfect alignment with our desires every moment of every day? What about those instances where we're feeling super good and aligned, and then we see, read, or hear something that makes us feel bad? Does a bad feeling moment send us all the way back to Phoenix and/or 0%?? Are we supposed to achieve uninterrupted alignment?

Does a bad feeling moment send us all the way back to Phoenix and/or 0%?

Hi ChosenUndead07

The way I understand it, it's like the train analogy where there's a train going forward (powered by desire, belief and alignment with the idea) and attached to the back of the train is another train pulling in the opposite direction (powered by resistance).

As long as the alignment-with-the-desire is stronger than the resistance, you'll be going forward. If there is a lot more resistance than alignment-with-the-desire, you probably won't be making any movement forward. The less resistance there is, the faster you'll be going forward.

So, I don't think a bad feeling moment would send us all the way back to 0%, but it slows down the movement forward; so it slows down the arrival of the manifestation.

Also, I don't think it's necessarily linear like, ok I'm at 1% today, if I continue my alignment work, tomorrow I'll be at 2%, the next day at 3%. I don't think it's like that. I think it's all to do with your vibration, which may be 70% aligned with something one day, doubtful and 30% aligned with it the next day, and then back to 70% the next day. Does the 30% day set you back to zero? probably not - it maybe just slowed the manifestation temporarily whilst you were within the dip.

Other people may not fluctuate in vibration as strongly. For example they may be more steady at 70% aligned, progressing towards their desire more gradually but surely, having tiny wobbles here and there that hardly affect their movement forward. Everyone's different, depending on the stability of their general vibrational set point and the extent of their highs and lows..

In theory you may develop strong 100% non-resistant certainty about something very very quickly, and then the manifestation can be almost instant.

I think as long as you're 51% aligned with it or above, you're moving forward towards your desire. The higher the alignment, certainty and belief in the idea (>51%-100%), the faster it will manifest - and any dips in vibration just prevent the manifestation from coming whilst you are within the vibrational dip.

That's not entirely true- you ALWAYS move towards your desire, when you feel BETTER (aka, relief). That could be far OOTV, as when you come from disempowerment of guilt (pretty much the bottom of the EGS) and move "upwards" to hate and revenge. While this is for sure no "Alignment" with source, it still is BETTER than where you had been before, and so, you move into the right direction!

As spiritualcookie had pointed out, it is not "that linear", and as soon you are above 51% ITV (more in Alignment than not), you will get there much faster, as the momentum starts to pick up. Otherwise, you get a "stop and go", or a cha-cha-cha made of 1 step forwards, 2 back... you get the point. As Abe point out, WE ALWAYS GET THERE EVENTUALLY, at least when we croak. Because then, we let go of all our resistances. Which tends to be a bit dissatisfying answer for us humans.

Does a bad feeling moment send us all the way back to Phoenix and/or 0%??

Certainly not. While several intense, dramatic downspirals might do that to us!

Are we supposed to achieve uninterrupted alignment?

As Abe point out: NOBODY can do that, who is physically focused. Not even what we are introduced to as "enlightened masters". That's not the goal, for humans, and it certainly is not necessary to reach specific goals or just generally have an amazing, wonderful life!

By the way, to this Forum, ChosenUndead07! Interesting name!

I REALLY like this picture that shows how we "plan" our achievements- and how they normally fill in. That is not due to us being idiots, it is because there is a "vibrational gap" between where we are and where we want to be. And it lays within the topic, that we must "expand" to line up with what we don't have yet. And this "expansion", this fine-tuning and reaching and molding "our clay" is really WHAT LIFE IS!

As Abe have described, Desires are what draws us through life (as the famous carrot that dangles in front of our nose, but all the time when we move a step forwards, the carrot does, too- up to the end!) Also, the journey towards our fulfilled desire DRAWS LIFE THROUGH US!

It takes care for us, staying interested, lively, open and "fresh". Abe said, we all THINK we would love to take the fast Autobahn towards our goals, and speed there. But in doing so, we would miss all this beautiful backroads, where we can see so much beauty and tiny critters, and wonderful sunsets and meet fascinating people. Think about it- which "path" looks more interesting, more full of life? The left straight rise, or the right side with all this "cha-cha-cha's", with exploring the bows and bends, lifes ups and downs...? And so, Abe say, that source does NOT lead us "on the fastest path, but on the one where we rendezvous with as much that is in our Vortex, as possible.

When we look back, we often realize how much we gained (per example, learning to love- or enjoy-unconditionally) by not "getting there so fast". There is a saying in my country: "Who lives faster, will be done sooner." Duh.
And also, it simply takes time for us to let go of resistances, to come to new conclusions that serve us better than before, to widen up for being able to hold more (self-)Love, more peace, more depth, more details. Before we are "grown" there, the desired fulfillment would taste shallow.

Abe often explained "the journey" with the path towards an orgasm. Do you REALLY want to be there as fast as possible? Or do you want it to last, and enjoy the very long delicious ride?

"The longer it takes, the more fun you will have!" -Abe

99.99% of every creation/manifestation is completed by us vibrationally before any physical evidence shows up --> I think the 0.01% is us Abraham always says you are the missing component.

From practical experience, I would agree with SpiritualCookie, it's about the balance of thoughts. Once your balance of thought flips to the wanted, then you can start feeling how that desire itself starts "taking you into the vortex" as you are more in resonance with and it is attracting YOU to it. You start having dreams, you start having synchronicities, intuition, you start having waves of positive emotion going through You out of the blue, you start having insights (new thoughts that you know it was not your common thoughts). When these things start happening, know you are well on track. You will still have some "bad moments", your only job to soothe them, plus now you are aware of the positive momentum, it gives you more confidence and it becomes easier to soothe the "bad moments"... and then one day you know that "Voila! You clicked strongly with the desire and You KNOW it is already on it's way to manifest any time soon, and you just enjoy the fun... and in a beautiful time through beautiful synchronicities, it manifest, and you are now living it. And then as Abraham says... new contrast starts from here.

Thank you for the clarification POE!

Yes! so true - if you're going from powerlessness to hate and revenge, it's still progress on the path from Phoenix to San Diego!

I guess the "feeling good 51% of the time" is maybe the tipping point for when the manifestation becomes more likely, but getting from 0 to 51% is "moving forward" for sure, and is a huge achievement in itself!

I just wanted to add the term "Path of Least Resistance" to our discussion

The squiggly line indicates our Path of Least Resistance when there is quite a lot of resistance there!
Every time there is a block in the road, we veer off the straight path a little, but like a GPS in the car that re-directs your route, you always find a way around the block to go where you want to go, even if it's a slightly longer way around!

I love this! haha and I love your term "cha-cha-cha's"

Theoretically, since in non-physical everything is instantly manifested, non-physical probably really enjoys the cha-cha-chas that only exist in our physical realm! I was listening to a podcast where they said that non-physical even enjoys the experience of "waiting" in the physical realm because such a thing doesn't really exist in non-physical

I'm so appreciative of ChosenUndead07 for asking this question because it unveiled a gap in my understanding:

Say you're 70% aligned with something, say, you want to win the lottery, and you're 70% aligned with believing that can happen to you. Can this desire manifest even if you're not at 100% alignment with it? Or will it be impossible because you're only at 70%, so instead your POLR will be some other way of attracting a similar-feeling abundance that you ARE 100% aligned with?

I love good questions, too! (the joy that is when we see a "problem", and we figure out an answer- that is always joyful expansion!!)

Abe said, the solution/answer becomes probable, as soon you are SOLIDLY more aligned with it than not, aka, at 51%.
When you just are at 51% for a second, I'd say, it's probably not manifesting yet. But it becomes probable.

The higher your Alignment is, the more stable you will be, once you are "there", meaning: You will enjoy it more. It will be a less bumpy ride once you have it.
