I don't understand the buffer of time.

[ChosenUndead07]

Thank you guys for your input. I wish I could ask Abraham this question directly. I lost count of the numerous times I wanted to give up on applying their teachings to my life due to my frustration with this buffer of time. It's the single most frustrating and annoying aspect of the Law of Attraction. I'm driving from Phoenix to San Diego but it's as if this buffer of time keeps me stuck in Yuma.

All of this is a STORY that is not helpful. In re-activating it over and over, you re-activate again and again, that you are stuck. That's all!

Just think- and dream- and talk about what you want, INSTEAD!

[Pollyanna]

Wow, thank you for this quote, beautiful Paradise-on-Earth!

"In an attraction-based universe, you need never pursue anything. ~Abraham" What a huge relief! No effort, no struggle. Not again.

And I love knowing I can simply "look at other things around you, that are, as you want them to be. ~Abraham"

So...I love looking at the adorable puppy sleeping on the lap. I love looking at the cute kittens purring in their naps. I love looking at the big blue sky and infinite ocean from your lovely quote. I love knowing there are so many things that are already as I want them to be!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful wisdom and love! You have once again doubled the joy for me! (I love all the German saying and family wisdom you've been sharing!)

Ya, that's a BIG one. Probably for all of us!

You have once again doubled the joy for me! (I love all the German saying and family wisdom you've been sharing!)

I'm very glad! So nice that you enjoy it so deeply!

I do try to tell a different story, but it feels as if Law of Attraction just ignores me when I'm feeling good. It takes very little time to manifest something unwanted, but when it comes to wanted things, the buffer of time is endless

[Paradise-on-Earth]

I do try to tell a different story, but it feels as if Law of Attraction just ignores me when I'm feeling good.

Then you would be the 1 exception, in this whole Universe! Believe me, you are NOT.
You are simply not feeling so good as you think you are- or, what is even more probable, you contradict your moving forwards, in the very same way- without noticing it.

It is, even from your short statements and your few interactions here VERY palpable that you are in a negative expectation, a very conditional observation and a deeply trained way of looking at things, that does not really serve you. So, *I* am not astonished at all that you don't get wanted movement! And this is not meant to put you down, but as a feedback that might help you to turn things around a bit.

It is NOT the "buffer of time" that works against you. Not in the slightest! You just have made this your enemy and your excuse to be confused, and discouraged. While, you REALLY got this wrong!

It takes very little time to manifest something unwanted, but when it comes to wanted things, the buffer of time is endless

This is simply not true.

Because, in both directions- wanted or unwanted- the "buffer of time" is exactly 17 seconds long. After 17 seconds of pure (!) thought- be it a joyful or a miserable one, you get a PALPABLE "manifestation", which is AN EMOTION at first. And after about a minute, you get a PHYSICAL manifestation! Which might be, your eyes catch something that matches the vibrations of your pure thought, you smell or taste or hear something, you notice something at your fingers or around your body, that matches your thoughts. It might be that you get a compliment. Or a joyful shiver. Or, when you have negative thoughts, you might get mean glance by a random person- a physical sudden small pain, or you, slip literally while you walk- depending where your vibration is, in this very moment. It is quite instant! It's just that most people are not that trained, to NOTICE all of this.

But you could observe this instant feedback all the time, all the time, all the time. Because you are ALWAYS in the process of manifesting something. This never stops, and when you are more trained in an awareness on realizing all this tiny clues, you are never left in the dark. Nothing comes "out of the blue" anymore, as soon you become more conscious of the steady hints of "where you are".

"In your Vortex, the time of manifestation is NOW." -Abe
What you want is DONE. Vibrationally, it is ready and waiting for you, and indeed, CALLING you. That is the reason why you feel so bad, when you don't go! When you stand in vibrational opposition to what you want, so to speak. So, the clue is to "turn around": To look at the light, to look for what feels a bit better, regardless if it is just a small thing, that you find.

When you really are willing to give this an honest try, you will notice that it is not that easy to hold "pure thoughts", not even to speak about pure thoughts about an energy that you are not yet trained in! Can you hold a minute of pure, joyful, specific thought? Or even just a general one of wellbeing, WITHOUT doubt or even frustration, or impatience creeping in? I bet you can't!

And again, I don't say this to club you over your head!!! But to bring it to your awareness that this is called "The Art of Allowing" for a reason: You must TRAIN it. And you must be open for feedback, when you don't do it in a way that it CAN work! But it seems that you are not in that place, yet: Because you keep lamenting your premise, that "the buffer of time" would confuse you and set you back, all the time. That can not be true, when you realize that you ALWAYS have almost instant feedback about how you are doing vibrationally: Your EMOTIONS.

When you feel good, you'r doing well. Keep it up- UNCONDITIONALLY!!- until you get where you want to be. A slight slipping of yours will NOT set you back to Phoenix!!! It might set you back -maybe- a step, or so. Everyone does it, many many times a day. But those slippings can simply be what they are- a moment where you need to re-align a bit. It pauses you a bit on your way, but that's it. And then, you might even be clearer and have more wanted momentum than ever!

To really "get back to Phoenix", you would need to actively RUN into the wrong direction, without any pause and coming to your senses, and it would feel MISERABLE, all the time. Aka- you would need to do it purposefully, after knowing so much about vibration already! So, really, stop telling this flawed, unhelpful story. Analogies are never perfect, and the way you are using this one, is really a distortion of what is true. Just chill out a bit, and allow yourself to be a bit less dramatic, and not make such a big deal about things- and be more joyful and thankful for all the good in your life, and care for good-feeling momentum, again and again and again. Honor the EMOTIONS, because they are the precursors of physical manifestations.

You can't jump the small stuff!

[Paradise-on-Earth]

So, here is a quote (you can find endless youtube clips when you look for "17-seconds" together with "Abraham Hicks". Clips about the train-analogy, or mixed vibration, might help as well). I hope it might serve you! The "buffer of time" is literally THIS 17 seconds!
But of course, that adds up when you don't have pure thoughts, but the (quite normal) "mixed vibration". As: "I want more money! BUT I never get it. I would really love to get that thing! BUT it will not work. It never works." (sounds familiar?)



The 17 Second -Rule and -Process:
How fast momentum adds up when you hold a PURE thought!

Hold a thought for as little as 17 seconds- there's enough attraction power in that consistent thought- by holding the thought, we mean holding it without contradicting it, holding the thought purely without introducing resistance, then Law of Attraction will add momentum to that thought.

Another 17 seconds, and then another, and once you cross the 68 second mark, there's enough momentum to start receiving thought about it. To start receiving impulse about it. Surprisingly, 68 seconds is a rather long time to focus purely! Because you are all sort of accustomed to pros and cons, and pluses and minuses. And being very objective about things! And because every subject is two subjects, and you often have activated the not wanted end of the stick- so even though you're making a statement of what you do want, the other end of the stick is rather active. If you can accept that, the whole purpose of paying attention to that 17 seconds is to affect the way you feel, and nothing more than that.

So, that you can find that 17 seconds, and stay there, and then another- until your enthusiasm for it is building. That's all you have to accomplish!

If you can get across that 68 second mark and even beyond, everything else will take care of itself. that really is the most productive process that we could ever offer to any of you! Because in accepting these facts, it accepts that you have already created the vibrational reality that you now want to blossom out. And to see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, touch it- fashion. So it already exists. And as you are now playing this 17-second game, with that knowledge that it does already exist -and that it is a foregone conclusion that it will manifest, but you're not going to get hung up in the treacherous territory! Because that distance between the emotion and the manifestation is where you throw the most stuff on the trail. That's where you throw all the resistance on the trail!

So, if you only come this far, where there's no resistance. And you maintain it, until you own it, and then you come there again, on another subject, and another subject, and another subject, and another subject- until you are in that emotional state of positive expectation: oh then the inspiration just blossoms! You just find yourself feeling inspiration. Your timing becomes really good! The entire universe cooperates with you. You just almost stand in amazement at the Universe's ability, to give you timing!

Creation is about timing more than anything else!

And unless you've accomplished that part of it, your timing is off. If you've been trying to deal with the condition rather than with the emotion- ooh that's another piece of it, that we said powerfully:

Just feel it and never mind how it plays out! That's not your business! You've already accomplished your manifestation:
Your manifestation of feeling the energy move. You know, if you got that far- the rest is inevitable.

Paradise on Earth,

You have a much broader and all-encompassing definition of what manifestations actually are and you are absolutely correct about that. However, what I was specifically referring to are those specific desires we all want that are in our vortex. Those things you mentioned (smell, sensation, etc) don't take time to manifest, but it takes time, attention and a lot of repetition for the increased income, the lover, the car, the job, etc to show up. These aren't fleeting insignificant manifestations, these are things that come and STAY in your experience. In the same way that it's much faster to manifest stubbing your toe than it is to manifest a diagnosis of cancer. To manifest cancer, you'd have to be CHRONICALLY misaligned, not just every once in a while.

That's when the buffer of time comes in and that's what I've been running into trouble when it comes to applying the teachings. You have to be CHRONICALLY aligned to receive some of these specific manifestations and it's incredibly hard.

[Awa]

True. If you've had a pretty low EGS for many years, it's awfully difficult to be chronically cheerful. You can't just feel light and free and content and grateful, appreciative, compassionate, full of love, or be super rich, beautiful, healthy, eloquent, etc. But you can feel a little less crappy. That's something you have to practice, second by second. No one can do that "work" for us. You have to do it yourself. But theory is easier than practice.

[Paradise-on-Earth]

That's when the buffer of time comes in and that's what I've been running into trouble when it comes to applying the teachings. You have to be CHRONICALLY aligned to receive some of these specific manifestations and it's incredibly hard.

Again: No, you don't have to CHRONICALLY be in full Alignment! Nobody does that. And certainly not all at once!

You have to be more and more, step by step, in more Alignment than you had been, before.
And, while it takes the decision to start, and then to keep it up and make it a BIT more every day, each day new, that is absolutely doable.
