Hi Bookworm. I wrote to you, or about you, awhile ago, but didn't send it for various reasons. Apart from my current refraining from public life in general, I also think my words especially on the Law may not be really helpful anymore. Anyway, as you today ask for help and seem frustrated, I'd like to send you what I wrote. Here goes.

Kazoo (in Change your fundamental story…) wrote:
What Rainbows is saying is that since our lives are just "movies" or "stories" we are creating we can use that literary concept as a way of recognizing what "story" we are currently living and determine what "story" we'd prefer to be living instead.

It is indeed a "story" in the literal sense of the word. Hamlet, Claudius and Ophelia, for example, are "real" only to one another, and only in the story or play they're together sharing and constituting. From Shakespeare's point of view, however, they're totally fictional, and are therefore partly or wholly changeable—again literally speaking. 

Freya wrote:… a woman who walks down a street in a foreign city feeling frumpy because she's wearing her travelling clothes etc. However, she decides to pretend she's a movie star going incognito, and her whole posture changes -- her back straightens and she carries herself like royalty. Suddenly, people start turning around to look at her and smile. She's exuding warmth and confidence.

In other words, she got back to her original Shakespeare Mode or State, and from there uploaded or projected a "Movie Star" instead of a "Foreign Woman." It's "pretending" only when viewed from the Foreign Woman's perspective. But from her Shakespeare's or indefinite Soul's perspective, both characters are equally illusory, in an illusory world. 

Kazoo wrote:
… And thinking of yourself as just a character in your own movie might make it easier to follow that "act as if" advice that is often given.

It isn't "act as if" then, is it? It's literal creation, or rather manifestation since the whole world is taking place only in the mind anyway. Only Hamlet can "act as if" he's King Lear. But if he is indeed neither; if he is indeed Shakespeare, the change instantly takes place and reaches to the existential level of the character. To Shakespeare, Lear is as true, or as illusory, as Hamlet. Hamlet is not any more real than Lear. Therefore, the only reason I, Shakespeare, don't manifest Lear instead of Hamlet, rather instantly, is that I believe I'm Hamlet, not Shakespeare—and while Hamlet, just "acting as if" I'm Lear.

In other words, I'm lonely, or ill, or broke, only because I first identify myself as such. I therefore have a hard time applying the Law, because every time I "act as if" I rather reinforce the current character first. I start as say broke, then while broke visualize being wealthy, or act as if I'm wealthy. It doesn't work therefore. Starting as Hamlet, I simply can't be Lear. Why? Because I am Hamlet. Feeding the mind with the character of Hamlet primarily prevents its being Lear afterwards—or any other character than Hamlet. Likewise, starting as broke, then proceeding to visualize or affirm or act as if I'm instead wealthy, I only superimpose temporary wealth appearances on the original broke substratum.

Instead, we'd better realize that when we act as if, we are LITERALLY the new character. You're not acting as if you're wealthy; rather, you ARE wealthy. Literally. Instantly. And on the deepest and most profound levels of your being. The only reason this doesn't work is that you "activate" the broke character again by thinking you're acting as if wealthy. The mere thought "I'm acting as if" fails the whole process, because it implies the old character and therefore invalidates the new one.

...

Today I'd like to add:

I'm at the end of my rope.

   
This is the "story" your mind creates and you identify with. You're never, ever, at the end of your rope, for example. This is only the character your mind-body is performing here, for now. Because you identify with the illusory character you are not, instead of the true being you are, that's why:

Help!!!

Nothing works, of course. How can you manifest money if you're primarily coming as broke?

Instead, replace the "I's" in your above "story" with the word "Mind" and look again:

My mind thinks I'm having trouble manifesting more money. My mind feels sorry because I've just spent Christmas by myself with no money. I get paid on Monday but my mind's calculations say it's not going to be enough. Uh-oh, my mind just thought I'm at the end of my rope. lol

See the difference? It's the exact same story, but now seen more clearly because you, YOU, are not your mind, are you?

So first of all, detach from the mind. Don't buy this drama. Don't identify with this illusory character that exists only in the mind and nowhere else. And don't fear, ever. Only the mind creates fear, only the character may be tricked into fear, but YOU have absolutely nothing to be afraid of. You can never even die, for example, although the body-vehicle may be destroyed. So instead, stand still, firm, and in peace, and look smilingly from afar at the mind to recognize its total deception.


Yes, easier said than done. Yes, this needs some training or some degree of mastery over the mind. Moreover, it's admittedly hard for most of us to believe that we're mere fictional or illusory characters. This may not even be acceptable or compatible with our belief systems. That's why it was finally recommended that we go into "trance" or a state "akin to sleep" before visualizing or even affirming our desired states. Why? Because, for most people, this total relaxation is the only state in which their mind naturally loosens its grip over the present "character" and is therefore open to a new "upload." During this trance state, we become "characterless," so to speak, at least to some degree. We naturally and unconsciously switch back during this state to the Shakespeare Mode, in other words. Thus, from this state of open and "indefinite" consciousness, not from the character-consciousness, we may then proceed with our new projections, new stories, and new characterizations. That's why the trance state.

This therefore is probably the most important step: you must get into a trance state "before" visualization. You must be in total and complete relaxation. When you wake from your trance, however, it's also crucial that you don't "put on" the old "persona" or mask again, hasten to identify with your old story, or immediately just get trapped in the character's fears, doubts, frustrations, memories, conditions, circumstances, and drama. This will cancel out what you just "uploaded." Instead, remember that you are already happy, Bookworm, and are anyway happy. Because you are, indeed. Believe me you are. You are the infinite sky while all these conditions and circumstances, all stirred by the mind, are but clouds passing by. So don't let your mind blind your vision or take from your total happiness and ultimate peace. Actually even this is only an illusion; you cannot be but happy, free, in love and in peace. This is not only your default state but also your only state of being--everything suggesting otherwise is but a "thought," another "lie" from the mind. So detach from the mind. Even shut down the mind.


May you finally see through the veils, recognize and even feel that Christmas is wonderful, anyway; and that life is anyway beautiful! Don't ask for help; you are the help. You are the help everyone needs, Bookworm. The man we're celebrating today was the man who said YOU ARE the light of the world. So stand up, young lady; shine forth, and never lose sight of who you are.

Bookworm, have you been doing what we went over on Christmas Eve? The above is pretty much what my response is to your thread, although Lotus already spent the time and effort to explain it and word it all beautifully.

Be aware of the words you choose to think and type. It is all an affirmation of the story you are choosing in each moment.

Best to you Bookworm, and thank you Lotus.

By Zorba from "Do we always get what we want" thread

Now, how to change your vibration and BE wealthy, thus naturally think and feel and behave wealthy? Three steps:


1 - You have to first know that you are, already, anything and everything. Every radio station is already there, present, and transmitting. All you need to receive any station is to only tune your radio set. So, still concerning wealth just for example, you are already wealthy. You won’t create wealth out of thin air, or manifest it in the future. It's already here, now. Only re-tune your set as to receive this particular wave. Only change your vibration. And always remember you are in a vibrational universe.

2 - You have to—and this is the tricky step where almost everyone fails—you have to "focus exclusively upon that which is desired." This is why the poor is always poor; because their immediate reality is poor, and for the same reason the wealthy is always wealthy. You have to detach from your immediate reality so that you can focus exclusively upon your desire. Even if faced by any lack or expecting a due bill, for example, you have to immediately remember it's only one reality out of so many others, it's only your mind just playing a game with you, and it's all but in illusion. You are in a movie here, and the only one thing real in the entire universe is YOU. This will help you detach, feel no pressure no matter what happens, and instead re-focus on your desire.

3 - Smile. It's rather easy to do it. We're only mired in the illusion so we take it too seriously. The more you understand how this show is running the more your grip will loosen and the more playful you become, thus the easier you'll do it.

I find it easier to picture myself standing at the counter of my favourite store forever new with the counter loaded with my purchases. Why that is easy for me I don't know.

I believe in you Bookworm. I'm visualizing you receiving an infinite flow of money, success, freedom, and good fun.

One thing that has helped me in the past is to just write a vision of life from the perspective of already being wealthy and successful. You can include different areas like your finances, the kind of friends and family you have and how you treat each other,work/life balance, the projects you are working on, etc. The only rule is that your vision be true to your heart and passion and makes you feel turned on to faith, joy, and aliveness when you read it. You may not believe it is possible at first, but because it feels so good and exciting to read it, you'll always want to come back to it. And as you read it more and more, it'll stick into your mind over time, and help you make that vision a reality. Although not all of my vision has come true, some very noticeable differences have been made after writing it.

I know that now is a difficult time for you and it may seem like all of these Law of Attraction practices are just useless. But I find that writing and reading over the vision for my ideal life has been a great way to keep myself positive and grounded in faith whenever I'm too stressed or anxious to visualize or practice other manifestation stuff. Reading it over helps me get back in to a better-feeling mood fast, and from there it's a lot easier to find the state of mind that says "I got this!"

Oops! Really? Wish I knew, because certainly your wording would've been more beautiful.

(And I, needless to say, would've saved the time and effort).

Thanks, Armine.

I think my whole post(s) is about this tricky step number two. To detach from your immediate reality, for example, is to detach from your mind. In fact, the world is the mind….

(Glad by the way my reply is different from Zorba's—although not so different as I thought and I, therefore, ain't moving fast enough. A whole year later and you still can trace some similarities??? What a failure!)

Thanks, Lunar (also for your other, so generous post and beautiful rose).

Lotus, you know your explanation is more thorough than 90% of mine have been. I haven't gone deep into posts in a long time. Maybe part of me figured, if anyone's going to actually use the information, then one paragraph of info alone transforms circumstances. I forget that others are reading who we don't even know and can be benefiting too.

Look, lunar even went into the archives and pulled up some of your ancient wisdom (as ancient as a year old perhaps?)

Bookworm, regardless of how you have felt, all of the information you are receiving is effective in making that change. The question is, are you ready for change and willing to accept it now?

Some it I don't understand! I understand President completely though.

And you know your explanation is more accessible than 90% of mine have been.

Besides, you're the "simplifier." So seriously I trust you could've communicated this better, at least to a Bookworm, had they been the same ideas.

But thank you Armine, it's an honor really that you said so. No of course I'm not more thorough. You are as thorough, if not more, but you women in general prefer not to be so or sound so. Just reminded me of the interesting question, why fewer women end up in science, mathematics, philosophy, etc. Many of the smartest girls simply drop science to go into fields they feel more social, or to have more people-oriented careers. Women have natural, inborn talent in connection and communication, and even their brains show this capacity, so this is their primary response and attitude and that's simply why. So even if you today seem less thorough, let at least this be clear, it's just a matter of choice, preference and orientation, not aptitude.

Yes, that's right. But it's even more than that. The similarity even of our "vocabularies" not only ideas is truly remarkable as you just said. He even once confused me myself. I never said this before, not even to him, but do you know what I thought when I first read from him? Back then he was just an unknown "new member" on PLOA, not yet the brand name he is today. So for a moment, while reading his post, I forgot all about what's-his-name and just thought, "Strange I don't remember this post. When did I write this?"

I swear that was literally my thought then, and such never occurred to me before, or since, with anyone. But truly this man's vocabulary is almost mine. I especially remember his phrase "needless to say" in that early post, because that's why I got confused. NO ONE on PLOA, at least back then, ever used this phrase but Zorba. I even thought he may've been "imitating" my vocabulary or style and kept watching him for some time. But no, he was original, and it was really amazing, and still is, that two vocabularies, not only mentalities, could be that close; so strikingly similar.

(But he still has his "unique" touch though—and that's how I knew he was original. It might be subtle, but it's there if you look closely. Some of his words I never use for example. But apart from these details, his overall style is a bit more elegant; mine, a bit more creative. Creativity is higher on my Value Ladder so I unfortunately have to sacrifice elegance sometimes. But let's just say I'm only crazier and less predictable, not to conceal his creativity. He's rather very creative). 


But if you mean only our ideas, no big deal then. They rather must be similar, perhaps even identical, because it's one truth and we both had the same one guru. (By the way, in the tradition, the only guru there is, is God. All those human gurus are only God's vehicles or channels of communication).

Haha yes, I admit we have thought before whether he was your alter ego, but I do notice some differences Perhaps you belong to the same soul group?

By the way, I see you like to do some painting in your spare time, Lotus


(Sorry Bookworm for derailing the subject)  

Well I can only afford my rent, and car payment. I lost the 30 odd dollars to my bank overdraft I'm waiting to see if I am accepted for a small loan so I can get to work and buy food this week.

Hopefully I pick up hours with my work experience! The supervisor at the other store said they could've used me today !!!

@Bookworm, contact the bank, ask them to waive the overdraft fee. They will help you! $30 is $30!!!

Has anyone ever heard of the term HEART ENERGY? Have you practiced it?

I read about it today for the first time, trying to find help.

"Heart energy is a powerful way to speed up the Law of Attraction to get out of debt",

can you tell us some more about it ggoopp?

Elizabeth Daniëls wrote some articles about it.
http://www.applythelawofattraction.com/heart-energy/

You basically fill yourself with love. Let that feeling flow throughout your body and manifest from there. I have only used this kind of energy to attract love but I can assume it works the same for attracting money. Fill yourself with the love for money. It will never be from a perspective of needing. It will be from the point of love.

This reminds me of the sex transmutation chapter in Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. I think this is how it works: if you think about love/sex and feel those wonderful feelings, and then focus your mind on your goal (money) while feeling those feelings, the goal starts to feel so good. Doing this can make it easier to take action or when you're feeling happiness/love, money will flow to you since it's now a physical metaphor for those feelings. Damn, I need to do this again and see what happens

It's gotten really really bad.

I'm grateful the government have released a 3 month car registration renewal that makes it easier to renew to my registration next week out of my government money.

I have a paid trial on Friday morning! Go me!!!

I need to go to do some EFT with Brad Yates.
