Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Shankaram Siva ShankaramA great article on "The Right Action"***The Secret of "Doing Without Doing"**By Robert Anthony, Ph.D**Creator of **Know How to Be Rich** *One of the mistaken certainties or misconceptionsmost people operate under is that you get what you want in life by what you DO, or through the actions you take. Most people believe that the DOING or action part is what makes things happen. However, this causes you to create in reverse.Let me explain.The reason we put a lot of emphasis on action isbecause we do not understand the power of our thought.If you analyze it, 90% of most people's actions arespent trying to compensate for inappropriate thought.The Chinese philosopher Lao-tsu said that, "In thepractice of the Way, every day something is dropped.Less and less do you need to force things untilfinally you arrive at *non action* When nothing isdone, nothing is left undone". What he is talkingabout is *doing without doing*The problem is that most of us are preoccupied with"doing". Unfortunately most of our doing usuallyinvolves struggle. In the western world we areconditioned to be action-oriented, so we place atremendous value on doing. We are so busy doing thatwe do not realize that all this "doingness" causes usto create in a reverse fashion.Most of our actions are out of fear, worry or doubtbecause webelieve nothing will get done unless we DOsomething. In other words, we are trying to force ourdesire into manifestation through action.If your decision to DO is dominant, then you will notfocus on what you want to BE in the present moment.This causes you to miscreate because BEING is thefirst and most important step in the creative process.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~***Here is the secret:*~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~It is not your action that makes things happen, it isyour intent. You can reduce the need for action to avery minimum by allowing yourself to focus on what youdesire until you feel the positive energy begin tomove within you. This energy is not based on doubt,fear, anxiety, worry or need. If you focus on what youwant instead of what you don't want, you will knowwhen it is time to take action. And when you do, itwill be effortless. Doors open and the entire universewill conspire to assist you in your desire.Put simply, you should take no action on anythinguntil you have visualized your desire and made it realenough in your mind that your next action (step),whatever it is, seems like the most logical step.How can you know the next logical step? Here is thetest that you can give to yourself before taking anyaction. If you focus on what you desire and still feeloverwhelmed or anxious, then you are not ready for anyaction. You know you are ready when it feels like thenext logical step is effortless. There is no effort,no strain, and no pain.What we want to do is to use the leverage of energy,the same leverage of energy that creates everything inthe universe. However, we are so caught up in thereality of WHAT IS, that we feel we must createeverything through mental effort and physical activity.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~*How to Effortlessly Attract theWonderful Things In Life*~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~Have you ever seen people who seem to have all thewonderful things in their life without much effort? Italmost seems like they have an advantage over everyoneelse. Then you see the people who work the hardestusually have the least. That doesn't seem fair doesit? But that's the way the universe works.Unfortunately, those who work the hardest usuallyhave the least because they haven't learned theleverage of aligning their energy. They are goingabout creating their lives the hard way. They aretrying to use their actions to create what they want.We have also been programmed that in order to havewhat we desire we must work hard. How many times haveyou heard - "No pain, no gain." The implication isthat if you want to make something of yourself, youmust work hard. The message is clear - if you are nothurting or struggling, you are not moving forward.But here is the truth - anytime you are strugglingyou are miscreating. Anytime you feel pain orstruggle, your magnetic point of attraction isdirected to that which you do not want, rather than tothat which you desire. Read it again!~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~*Action is the *Last* Stepin the Creation Process*~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~Actions are necessary, but they are the lastcomponent of the creation processes. Actions cannot beused effectively to initiate results, becauseinitiation is the function of BEING, then thought,then action.Remember, the creation of anything is through yourvibration. Everything vibrates, and it is by thatvibration that we harmonize and attract experiences toourselves. So before you act or do anything, first askyourself, how am I vibrating? How do you tell? Youtell by how you FEEL. Your feelings show you yourvibration. How you feel determines what you attract.When you use the process of creating by only focusingon what you want instead of what you don't want, youwill see that the universe will provide a differentset of circumstances for you that requires much lessaction. This puts you in a state of "doing withoutdoing" or action without effort. Mail Bring photos to life! New PhotoMail makes sharing a breeze.
