"If you could see an aerial view of your life experiences as we do, you would see all of these wonderful things that you've been asking for, lined up right outside your door, and if you just open the door a little bit, they begin to flood in." -- Abraham
This is a powerful quote by Abraham, the non-physical Source Energy as expressed through Esther Hicks.
The image alone of everything that you have wanted, asked for, visualized, but has yet to manifest in your physical world, just sitting right outside your door is a very powerful, and exciting image.
The obvious "next question" is: "How do I open the door?" Well, let's try to answer that. I say try because that's really all I can do - try. I'm no expert in the Law of Attraction and don't pretend to be. I'm just a student of it, continually learning. I've been exposed to LOA teachings for more than 20 years now and have recently begun studying the Abraham Hicks material. Is it working for me? Sometimes....sometimes not. Knowing what to do and doing are unfortunately two very different things. It's like they say: "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach."
So, the question is, "How do I open the door?" --
According to Abraham, you begin to open the the door when you are in "vibrational alignment" with what you desire. When the vibration you are in is a match to the vibration of whatever it is you want to manifest.
The next obvious question: "How do we create that match?" "How do we get into that vibrational alignment?"
From all the sources I've read or studied, this is the most difficult step in the manifesting process. Basically, we have to feel the feelings we would feel if we already had what it is we want.
You've probably heard the statement, "Act as if you already had it." - THAT is the key! Pretty simple....but not easy!
Close your eyes and imagine, in as much detail as possible, how you would feel if what you wanted already existed in your life. You might experience a sense of:
happiness joy exhilaration satisfaction relief
Really experience these feelings. This is how you need to feel to be in vibrational aligment.
We need to experience the relief and joy that our desired outcome would bring us, even before we have it in our physical world.
We have to LET GO of wanting it, and experience the joy of having it.
We need to be happy NOW! Any thoughts of you not having it (why don't I have it?....when will it get here?....how am I going to get it?....etc.) will only push it away and further close the door.
In Bob Proctor's first book Born Rich, which I first read in 1984, he devoted a whole chapter to this step. The chapter was entitled "Let Go and Let God" and he explained that this was probably the most important chapter in the whole book. He said if you could grasp this concept, you'll be well on your way to mastering the Law of Attraction.
The idea is to "let go" of wanting it, and "let God" take over, let the Universe do it's thing.
Abraham calls it "the Art of Allowing". "Allow" the Universe (Source Energy) to bring it to you.
So, be happy about getting it, know that it's coming, and then forget about it. (Or in my best New York Italian accent: fughedaboudit.....hmm, I'm getting an idea about a new blog post).
Anyway, that in a very small nutshell is how I see the Law of Attraction. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Now go and open that door!
Wishing you the quickest and most satisfying manifestations.
Abundantly yours,
Jim
