I understand your point. The semantics of desire and attachment are interesting.

I prefer the phrase " I want " because it encourages me to accept my desires as

good and gives me clear voice. I suggest that I want many things which I already

have. However I choose to word my statements, it is very healing for me to

notice how much I already have. This gives me a sense of gratitude, and joy

inevitably follows.

 

Thank you for your interest and support. May we all have joy and peace.

Hi Dan,

 

What about using " I desire " rather than " I want " ? To be in a state

of " want " is a state of lack. You can desire something which you

already have, but really, to " want " something means you do not

possess it already. There are many things I desire after, but not

many things I want for in my life. To " want " is in alignment with

to " need " ...do be without something, or to lack something essential.

To desire something is more in line with abundance...we will always

have desires for things no matter what the Universe provides us,

because it is that desire for more which pushes us to grow and

evolve. For example, I may have a desire for a bigger house, but I

am not in need of it, nor am in in want of it...I simply would enjoy

it if I had it. But not having it doesn't put me in a state of

lack...for I do have a lovely house which provides what I need right

now. But, my desire for more may push me to manifest more income in

my life to provide for that desire. Or it may help to place me in

the right opportunities to provide for that desire. Being aligned

with abundance gives me the opportunity to provide that desire,

whereas being in " want " of it aligns me with lack, which works to

block me from achieving that " want " . Do you see? The word " want "

has established itself as a word used to mean other than what it was

intended. The phrase " I want " and " I lack " are practically

synonymous. " I want " was not intended to mean " I desire " or " I would

like " , but unfortunately modern English has taken it upon themselves

to use it in that way.

 

Many blessings,

Mina

No. I disagree. The clarity and vital expression implied by the choice of the

direct simple word " want " is exactly what I am after. Want is short, direct, and

definite. I am, I do, I want, I go, I love, I care: These are clear fundamental

phrases that announce who I am and affirm my presence and wonder to myself and

the world.

 

Note that the word want is a Germanic word, and as such has its English roots in

the farming and working classes. The word desire is French/Norman* and came to

England with William the Conqueror and has an upper-class history. I believe the

linguistic and social stratification is a representative of our removal from

direct investment in the earth and our physical reality. (I don't believe this

tendency is limited by heritage or social status.)

I'm sorry, but I don't follow you here. It is my impression that the Buddhists

refer to desire as also problematic. I'm not seeing any gain by being indirect

in wording. I want what I want, and that is a good thing. I am supposed to be

here, I was born here**, and my wants, desires, and choices are part of the

beauty and wonder that is me (and all of us).

 

My thanks to Mina for helping to clarify my thinking on this.

Hi Francies:

Nowns work but they are limiting.

Our Romance based language is nown based so we look at the world as a

collection of things.

For instance we always need a nown to put a verb in motion... " It is

raining. "

We say this to a verb based speaker [sanksrit for example] and he

begins to look around for this " IT " that is raining.

In the verb based language, " Raining " would suffice.

So that paradigm of language permits him to see a flowing motion of

oneness rather than a collection of things.

As well as nowns you might try using verbs in the here and now.

The easiest way I've found in English is to simply add an ~ " ing " ~ to

the end of the word.

" Healing, enjoying, feeling , living, breathing, centering, dancing,

flowing, are a few here and now verbs.

I am going to have to remove it from the archives so that will not

don't mind. That's my job. And it saves me a lot of trouble.

All solved. I saved your post as a text file and placed it in the

over and takes a glance at it. I didn't see an attribution, Francie;

do you know who the author is?

Thank you Francie, for your very timely and enlightening post. It brought

Hello Everyone,

Okay, I have a question about this 'wanting and allowing' post. If we

*know* that a certain situation does not exist in our lives, how can we tell

ourselves that it does? That it is *there* or *here*? Case in point: at the

present moment, our home is up for sale, and my husband is out of work. The

bills are piling up, collecting energy on top of our filing cabinet. We have

put an awful lot of remodeling work into our home, and we are getting

lookers, but so far, no satisfactory buyers. We have it listed for under

market value, and are even offering to leave over $8,000.00 worth of

chandeliers and pay half of the buyers closing costs. We bought this home

for $180,000.00 and put over $100,000.00 into it. (NOT a very smart move, I

know, but we were not planning to ever have to move again, either.) We are

currently about a month away from foreclosure.

Can anyone tell me how we have drawn this negativity into our lives, and

how we can undo what has apparently been done. I simply cannot see how on

earth me saying that " my house is sold for a fair price, and all my financial

needs are met " offers any comfort, when all I have to do is look out the

window and see the 'for sale' sign still in the yard, and look up on the file

cabinet and see the arm load of bills waiting to be paid, and look at my

children, and know that this will be the first time in their lives that I

cannot buy them new clothes for school.

My husband has sent off numerous resume's and gets virtually no response.

Is he doing this to himself, too? I am currently doing all that I know how to

do. I work, and I also have a part time business that I am running. Still,

lack exists and is a major reality in my life at this time. I simply cannot

see how denying it's existence will remove it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bridget P.

I think the key here is understanding that we are co-creators of our

reality. We create what we experience. Bottom line. When we put

out a thought-form about abundance or lack, it manifests in the

Spiritual right away, but there may be a delay in it manifesting in

the physical. Especially when we are first starting out to learn

this, because we tend to counter-act our manifesting with " Will it

work? " type thoughts. The less you put out that counter-balances the

manifestation, the less time it will take to manifest.

 

As I was beginning to learn this, I was taught a " trick " , so to

speak. Yes, things appear to not be...and you feel like you are

denying what appears to be when stating you have those things. What

I learned was that I can stated " I am manifesting such-and-such in my

life. " This feels more honest to the beginner, because you aren't

saying you HAVE something...but that you are manifesting it. It is

coming into being. Which is true of either I have or I manifest

statements. But saying " I am manifesting financial freedom. " or " I

am manifesting this house sold for a fair price. " is much easier to

wrap our brains around. Whenever a thought of lack pops up, say to

yourself " I am manifesting... " and allow it to cancel out the lack.

Your husband can do this as well... " I am manifesting the perfect job

for me with a generous salary. " And remember, worrying doesn't do

ANYTHING for you...when you worry about things you can't change, you

are really wasting energy. It's much better to put that energy into

working on manifesting what you DO want, rather than worrying about

what you DON'T want. (And worrying about what you don't want is the

perfect recipe for bringing it into being...there is emotional energy

behind the thoughts, and the universe doesn't deal with

negatives...therefore saying or thinking " I don't want to go

bankrupt " is interpreted by the universe as " I want to go bankrupt " .)

 

Anyway, maybe this will help. I use " I am manifesting " or " I

manifest " a lot....and it does help.

Mina

Mina,

 

You have explained this so wonderfully. When I first heard of

manifestation and the Law of Attraction and the Law of Repulsion, I

found Wayne Dyers audio book, " Manifest Your Destiny " to be most

helpful.

 

Our minds are VERY powerful, yet recently I have been exposed to

information that states our minds are only CPUs, cycling information,

not really thinking...whereas what lies outside our body, that is the

energy that is what manifested our body, is where we " think " ...where

new concepts never before experienced are actually thought about. A

very interesting concept that follows one of Einstiens

equations " proving " that energy creates matter, matter does not creat

energy. Therefore, we were energy first and our body, and all that

goes with it, is a hologram of our energy. Some call that energy our

soul, our God source...etc. etc.

 

At any rate, I find manifestation one of the most exciting things in

my life at the moment. I was very much not healthy, I am now healty

through stating so every day..and believing there was health for me

if I claimed that I am health. I have a job that pays my bills..most

of the time..but nothing more. I manifested the way to be in the

right place to recieve information that allowed me to make extra

money doing what I love and not interfere with my for-now-main job. I

have not always been a peaceful sort of person. Stating and

believing there was peace for me waiting for me to claim it, allowed

me to manifest a quietness that allows me to be content with me.

 

Anyway, it's not easy to understand, but Mina has done so in a

beautiful way. Many books have helped me along the way. Greg

Braden's books are most interesting, " Walking between the Worlds "

and " The Issiah Effect, the Lost Mode of Prayer " (dead sea scroll

info) are two very good ones too.

You are very welcome. Something that has recently been shown to me

is that no matter how well we may know something and beleive all

others must understand it also, they may not. In continually sharing

that which we may think is not necessary to share, we can affect

others lives. Mine has bee affected by such as this and I am

grateful.

Hi Group,

 

I found this on the net a few nights ago, and it fits right in with our

topic, it isn't too long, I don't think...

 

More on this topic, which is the entire focus of my life right now, later.

The Physics of Creating a Magical Life

 

If you want a more magical life,

Merlin has a message for YOU!

 

 

Hi, friends in cyber space~

If I were to tell you that you can live the life of your dreams, would you say:

" It's a come-on line " , " There's gotta be a gimmick or catch " , " It's a scam! " ,

" Nothing comes to you without hard work " , " Yeah right! " , " Are you out of your

mind? " , or " It is too good to be true " and give a million other reasons why you

could not believe this to be true?

It is true! Perhaps you have been asking like I did, what is the purpose of this

life experience? Why do I have things I don't want, or don't have the things I

want?

Well, for starters, when you say you don't have something you are sending a

signal that says to the Universe that you don't have it, and what you say is so

very powerfully true, and it comes true even though it may not be your truth. I

am not talking philosophy here, friends. I am talking about simple physics. What

goes up must come down, and what goes out must come back.

You see … what you see in your mind creates feelings, and those feelings send an

emotional frequency signal; that signal goes out through you, and magnetically

pulls to you things that match your signal … because of the most powerful Law in

the Universe—the Law of Attraction.

What you put out through the thoughts you think echoes and reverberates back to

the sender, much like a radio signal!

Your mind is literally a transmitting and receiving mechanism. You can only

receive the frequency that you are tuned into by Law of Attraction. When you are

tuned into a thought, you emit a signal or frequency, and that is what you

receive as experience—just like a radio signal.

Remember, it all starts within as a broadcasting signal sent out from within

you, and then returns to you, the sender.

When we don't like a song on the radio we change the station without even

thinking about it twice, but when it comes to our thoughts we often leave them

right where they are, even though they are not sweet music to our ears. Why do

we do that? Simply because we have done it so many times before, that we

automatically tap into those thoughts without even knowing it. That is why we

don't receive what we want -- because it defies the Laws of Physics to receive

anything other than where we set the dial.

You can want a certain station for an eternity, but you simply can't receive it

until you tune into it. It is crazy-making to do otherwise. You do not receive

things so that you can feel good, you have to feel good so that you can receive

things.

It doesn't happen the other way around, although most people want things to come

to them so they can be happier.

In order for things to come to you that " make " you feel happy, you must first

find the feeling of happiness, by imagining that you already have those things.

This is why we get so frustrated in life, completely understandably!

With a little practice you can tune into thoughts that are sweet music to your

ears, and begin to see a world of wonder and magic unfold!

What I am proposing to you is to change or switch the station that is

broadcasting in your mind if it does not make you feel fine. When you do this,

you will begin to see more of your dreams and desires come true.

Hi Mina,

 

I understand what you are talking about as I have just come through a

long period of my life where everything " appeared " to go wrong. However,

as I look back, things were in process of being worked out behind the

scenes even during the darkest period---cancer of the spine and my

husbands brain hemorrhage---loss of both our careers, home, etc. I was

caught up in focusing on the problems and needed to focus on solutions

even though I couldn't see any at the time.

 

I remembered a book that had helped me in the past and started using its

principles. It is called Power in Praise by Merlin Carothers. His

premise is to thank God for the problem just the way it is and that gives

Him power to work in the situation---wow, what a test! It was a long

time before I could do that but I believe it is a good way to shift our

focus and I have had good results with it.

 

A scripture passage I love is in Proverbs 3: 8-9: " Put all your trust in

the Lord and do NOT depend on your own understanding. In all your ways,

acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. "

 

Good journeying!

negative thoughts, and all it's done is cause head aches and weight gain. So,

now I have a better way of coping, and a mechanism for banishing negativity

from my life. Wow! It almost seems too easy to work! But, I am giving this a

go, and I will keep the group posted with how things are coming along. Thanks

again, Bridget. P.

Hi Kathleen,

 

This statement at the end of your post is so very amazing. I have

been studying the work of those who study the Aramaic text from which

a large portion of the New Testiment was translated. As I look (very

superficially I will admit) at many religions, I have made statements

to others in study groups I participate in that it seems that

each " religion " has a great peice of the puzzel, but none seem to

have it all. Now to bring together these statements I've made...In

the Aramaic language of the day of Jesus, often when something was

stated or written between followers of Jesus in the day, it would be

couched in hidden meaning. Those statements are very abundant in the

Aramaic, and also come through in some cases, in the translation into

English in the new testiment as " for those who can hear to hear " . It

has been stated that when this statement preceded information it was

a " cue " that a code with a second meaning from the obvious stated was

to follow.

 

It's amazing how ancient information, predating even biblical script,

contains much of the same information that many of each of

the " modern " religions have.

 

I wonder, as we speak of the Law of Attraction, and indeed many of

the Universal Laws, how much of these our ancient ancestors knew. And

even more, how much more did they know that we have yet to

experience? It is SO very exciting to live in these times when we

are allowed by the " powers that be " to explore these questions and

these pieces of information.

 

Never stop exploring and experiencing will never cease.

 

Blessings
