Daring

Invitation from Richard Dotts This book is a daring invitation from me to you - for us to play together at the boundaries of time and space. As we embark on this exciting journey together, I will gently   but firmly invite you to examine age-old and long-held beliefs. You will decide whether  you still want to continue believing in them, and if not, be led through the process of surrendering yourself to a whole new reality. Of course, none of this is for an “amateur” reality creator or a cynic. If you believe that the world or reality around you is as it is, and that everything is always the “same old, same old”, cast in stone and cold hard reality… then this book may not be appropriate for  you at this time. I invite you to put it down

and pick it up later when your heart tells you to do so. But if your heart starts to race as you read these words, and if you always had a deep, inner knowing that reality is not what it seems to be… and that you ultimately create  your own reality… then this book is an invitation for us to play! Whatever choice you make, know that it will be the perfect choice for you at this time.  After taking thousands of readers through the manifestation process and sharing my  own insights about being a conscious creator, I was inspired to write this next book. The one which you are currently holding in  your hands. Writing these series of books have been an exhilarating adventure for me — Not only have I been blessed with the  wonderful opportunity of sharing my insights with a whole new audience I did not

even know existed, readers from around the  world have been writing to me, telling me about their manifestation success stories and how things have suddenly started “happening” for them in their lives. Things have started “happening” for me too, since I followed my heart to share these tips and techniques  with readers all over the world. I have been led to new perspectives and new teachings,  which has led me on greater and more glorious spiritual trips and adventures. I love reading and learning about this  whole process of conscious reality creation  because I firmly believe it is what we have  been put on this planet to do. We have been  blessed with creative faculties which can be directed at will, and the Universe responds immediately and unfailingly to each and every one of our requests. If everyone living on the planet today truly understood how  powerful this whole process is, the perceived

problems of our time will be eradicated in no time. A problem ceases to become a problem once the solution is in sight, even if it has not technically been “solved” yet. In the same  way, a “problem” is only a question we have not found the answer to for the time being.  Why do we sometimes not find the “answers” to our perceived life problems? The great Albert Einstein explained it beautifully   when he said: “The problems of our generation cannot be solved with the same level of  consciousness that created them.” How  many of us have read this quote, thought that it was somewhat clever and then glossed over it? Sit for a while and ponder over it for a moment. Einstein was hinting at a greater Universal truth… the problems of our generation cannot be solved with the same level of  consciousness that created them. What then, is consciousness? Consciousness is our mind, our inner state of being, our spiritual state.

Einstein was telling us that you cannot expect answers to your questions, if you remain fixated on the questions. You need to move and gently shift your consciousness to resonate at the same level as the answer you seek. Spiritual teachers and authors often speak  of “levels” of consciousness, as if one is higher or lower than the other. They may say, for example, that we have a “higher” self or a “higher” level of consciousness. But please understand that any connotations of “height” or “level” is only to make this whole subject easier for us to understand. There is no physical mountain or ladder we can look at. Similarly, there is no one part of us that is “higher” than the other. Everything just is. Can you see how pervasive the concept of  “space” is in our society? Since we occupy  physical space, we have come to associate so strongly with our physical realities, with the

spaces that our bodies move around in. Even in our spiritual quest, we have been taught to identify with a “higher” self, or that “heaven” is a place that is physically higher than “hell”. Similar teachings are present in other religions such as Buddhism, in which the concept of a Western pure land is weaved into its teachings. So is there really a Zen garden, or a  Western pure land which all of us can physically go to? Can we physically float up to heaven, or descend into hell? Even the process of “ascension” suggests the physical motion of   rising up   to something… as in the everyday usage of the word! These physical relativisms and references are useful for our initial grasping of the subject, but it will be  way more exciting once you learn how to move beyond them… once you learn to see them as what they truly are: As signposts and anecdotes to help us on our way.

I invite you to stay with this thought for a moment and think about all the “space” related elements that have been so closely intertwined with our everyday existence. For example, we say that we possess certain things in our lives, or that we have “attracted” certain things into our physical reality. This means that these things are currently occupying actual physical space in our reality. What about the things which we do not yet have? Well, we consider those things to be “out there”, to be “not yet in our physical reality”, to be “there” and not “here”. Just notice how we have a tendency to attach a spatial connotation to everything in our life. Not that attaching a spatial connotation is right or wrong, but I invite you to ponder for a moment on how attached we have become to our physical realities. Then in the next chapter, I will invite you to take this thought further and ponder an entirely new reality.

 At the beginning it may seem as if nothing is happening. It may seem as if you are sitting in your armchair, book in hand, doing these silly “thought experiments”. But as the famous prosperity teacher Catherine Ponder (pun not intended) used to say, “When it seems like nothing is happening, that is  when   everything   is happening.” Again, notice the spatial and physical connotations that we have so conveniently attached to things. If nothing “physical” is happening, then nothing real must be occurring. We  judge reality on the basis of whether something is physical. But is this belief resourceful? Does it serve me? Does it serve  you? I can assure you that many alternative  beliefs are equally plausible and even more empowering. Nothing is more entertaining to me than doing a “thought experiment” in my 

armchair, and then seeing my physical reality shift around me to accommodate my new, stretched beliefs. Think of your beliefs as a rubber band. It returns back to its original state when stretched at first, but slowly and surely as you keep stretching it… it gradually  loosens. When your beliefs are loosened, you ease yourself into a new state of being, and a new state of reality. This means the creation of new results in your life. It is important to adopt a fun and playful attitude as you engage in all of this. Stretch the rubber band of your beliefs not so that  you will ultimately “get” something… but because it is fun to do so! It is fun to see the Universe respond. The more playful you get at it, the more the Universe will respond and reciprocate, and the easier it will be for you to spot signs and changes. The harder you are on yourself, expecting certain results and outcomes, the more counterproductive it

 becomes and the more difficult it is for you to enjoy the process. This is why I seldom make references to the “outcome” in any of  the processes and techniques detailed in this  book. The joy is in the playing. By stating an outcome, I am already cueing you on what to expect, and therefore restricting the infinite possibilities that you can experience for  yourself. By leaving everything free and open-ended, you are inviting magic and miracles to come into your life in just the right and perfect way. The Universe will deliver  just what is right and perfect for you, in line  with your broader intentions. There is a saying that the yogis always had a mischievous glint in their eyes, because they know that life is only playing with them… and that they  too, are playing with life. Readers of my other books will probably  find this book a little unstructured. But there is a method to the madness. As mentioned

above, if you are reading this book to solve a particular urgent problem or perceived need in your life… this book may be a difficult read for you. You may just pore through it and miss all the golden nuggets. If you are reading this book hoping to find that one “new” secret, or one “missing” secret, it is going to be tough on you because then you’ll not be playing. You’ll be straining. But all is not lost. The way is simple. If you can put aside your perceived problems and worries for the period while you’re reading this book  and immerse yourself completely in the nonchalant, indifferent joyful attitude of PLAY, then you’re there already. Whatever you need will be there for you when you need it. I mean this both literally and figuratively. In other words, when you stop focusing on the issues themselves and start loosening up, the goodness starts flowing into your life in endless streams. (Notice the spatial connotations I couldn’t help but use again in my 

previous sentence… about goodness “flowing” into your life from some point, somewhere out there, into your life! But for now, it is an apt example to illustrate my  point.)  What tools do you need to “play” with reality and the Universe? Do you need a special computer that allows you to tap into the network? Fortunately not! Do you need a password that is somehow withheld from  you? Nope. You already possess everything  you need. Your consciousness is all you need.  Your body is all you need. Your thoughts, feelings and emotions are all you need. You  were born with all the tools to do this. Everything you need is already within you, in a structure that supports you. Now you just need to deliberately direct and use these tools in a certain way to achieve the results  you so desire. How? Don’t even worry about consciously picking these skills up. We’ll ease

right into them as you read and try the techniques suggested in the following chapters… It’s all going to be happening right here, right now, in your mind.

An

Alternate

Manifestation

Universe Let’s set the stage for our time together.  Again, notice my use of the words “stage” and “time” in the last sentence? Space-time references are so deeply embedded and so central to our way of functioning in the  world today that we hardly pause and think  about whether they serve us. Of course, you might say: I have to be able to function in the real world. I have my jobs and responsibilities, my children and family to tend to, and all the things that need to be done. I have to go to a certain place, engage myself in certain errands and fulfil my responsibilities to various parties. Space and time is very real and persistent to me indeed! It is definitely not an illusion! And for good reason, since we

have come into this time-space reality with the intention of having a great time and en joying ourselves. We have intended to use our physical bodies to enjoy the richness of   what this time-space reality has to offer. We have intended to immerse ourselves fully  and play in this wonderful playground, learning and growing as we go along.  Whenever we experience something we do not like, we would immediately set an intention for it to be better. If we hold ourselves in a truly non-resistant state and  just “trust” that everything is (already) alright… if we simply hold and focus all our attention on what is wanted… then what is  wanted would manifest very quickly for us.  And so it would be a game we play for the rest of our lives: To notice what is not  wanted, from which something wanted is  born, and then to give all our wholehearted

attention to that which is wanted and watch it magically unfold in our lives.  What I have just described in the last paragraph is the simplest premise that underlies almost every single self-help or spiritual book in the history of mankind (except the ones that believe you have to suffer to really gain anything in life, which really stem from a lack of understanding or misinterpretation of the original message). Different authors may of course phrase it in various  ways, from “You create your own reality” (Seth) to “You become what you think about” (Earl Nightingale) to “Success is your own damn fault!” (Larry Winget. Full confession though: I have not felt led to read any of his  books). Some authors obviously bring their points across more elegantly than others, so pick those that work for you. This way of living seems so obvious to me today, and it is how I live my life today… but just a few years

ago, it would have been unimaginable. My  logical, rational, scientifically trained mind,  with all its years of education, could never have been able to grasp such a simple premise… and would have rejected it outright. Common objections that I struggled  with include: Life can’t be that  simple! There has to be some higher logic tying everything together!  And my then “favorite”: If things were these simple, everyone would be happy and successful by now! Let me assure you right now, that  whatever higher logic, reasons, and mystical “secrets” that you are looking for simply do not   exist… Life is as simple and easy as you allow it to be. Life has no ulterior motives. Because life is, it respects all your decisions and choices. Even those unconscious ones

 you may have to make it as difficult or painful as you would like it to be. Either way, life plays with you the way you want it. I have tried it both ways, and I like the simple, easy, flowing way much more than the painful and suffering way I unconsciously adopted in my  early life. Readers of my earlier books will know  that I talk extensively about conditioning, and the effects of unconscious negative conditioning on an individual. For example, if   we have always been trained to think in a certain way, then the pattern of thought becomes very familiar to us and we tend to entertain the same train of thoughts. To a certain extent, thinking the same familiar thoughts feels comfortable and safe to us. Suppose you frequently take a particular route to work daily, and one day you decide to take a detour, to go off the trodden path. Because there is no path where you now 

intend to walk, so you must create your own, possibly by trampling over a patch of grass or even by stepping over a bed of flowers. How does it feel the first few times you do so? It will of course feel uncomfortable and  weird! People will be staring at you, and you  will no doubt feel uncomfortable and extremely self-conscious. But let’s suppose that you keep at it daily, and you do it often enough. Before long, others who have seen  you take this alternative path will start following in your footsteps. The alternative path (which did not exist in the first place) now becomes the new normal to you, and a physical path has just been created. The grass and flowers which you and so many  others have trampled upon repeatedly would no longer grow in their original spots, resulting in the creation of a new “familiar” path. This is the way with our minds as well.  When we are trying to make a change in

ourselves, it is never easy. Our old selves will tend to hold or reign us back, because our old self is simply a collection of thought patterns and beliefs that we have held dear to our hearts for so long. Making any change  will feel difficult or even unnatural at the beginning, and any unpleasant, uncomfortable feelings are simply feelings of you being thrust into the unknown, into the void of all possibilities. I wish to emphasize this strongly at the  beginning of this book because the feeling of  unfamiliarity or fear of the unknown keeps many people from living their greater good. It keeps people from making positive and beneficial changes in their lives, simply because they have identified so strongly with their current selves. While a part of them wants to change, the larger part of them is fearful of  moving into the unknown and just “trusting” in the intelligence of it all. This fear often

manifests itself as a feeling of uncertainty or anxiety, a deep-seated feeling that something “bad” is about to happen, which then causes them to pull back and revert back to their old familiar selves. You may notice this pattern in your own life, where you try something out for a while and after not seeing any results, revert back to your old beliefs and old  way of functioning. Even a thought as innocent as “nothing works for me” can be a per vasive and imprisoning belief. There have been many teachings about the usefulness of such an innate protection system, as irritating as it may seem! Obviously, it keeps us safe and gives as a structure from which to create from. It is the glue that holds everything together. You would not want your world to change drastically  from one second to the next before you have found your footing. Neither would you want  your thoughts to create your reality so

instantaneously that you end up getting confused, overwhelmed and bewildered! Take a moment now to ponder how it would be like if everything physically manifested for you instantaneously… Imagine what would happen if your worry thoughts, your negative thoughts and your positive thoughts came true in physical form for you all at once in the blink of an eye! Your life would be quite dramatic indeed, and it can be quite funny. Thankfully, the intelligent Universe does not allow this to happen in our current timespace reality through the concept of TIME. If   you learn to master time, you learn to master the art of manifestation. *** Playtime: Close your eyes. Take 1 - 2 minutes to imagine what life would  be like if every single thought (negative and positive) resulted in a physical manifestation the moment you think 

it! Would you feel overjoyed or overwhelmed?  After I wrote the previous paragraph, I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined  what would happen in an alternate Universe  where thoughts become things instantly  (with the alternate Universe’s response in parenthesis): • Wow… What a nice red sports car to own! (Poof! A nice red car instantly appears in your driveway…) • I wish I could afford it! The maintenance is sure going to be expensive! (Poof! The red car instantly disappears as the Universe responds to your thought of  “not being able to afford it”…) • It is sure expensive to own a thing like that! (Nothing happens…) • But still, it would be nice to own one! (Poof, the car appears again!)

• I can’t believe the car is now mine! (Poof, the car disappears again!) • Where is my car! It was here a moment ago… Give me my car NOW! (Nothing happens…) • Well maybe it will show up again later… (Poof, the car appears again, for rd

the 3 time!) • Good! Now that it’s mine, I hope the birds don’t poop all over it! (…) • Look at what the birds have done! I need that cleaned up immediately! (Car is polished and gleaming brightly again) • Great! Time for me to set off for my  appointment. Hope I’m not going to meet one of those new drivers who can’t drive (…)  You get the idea! A universe in which all  your thoughts manifest instantly in physical form is only beneficial if you are a master at “thought control”, as seen from the above

negative example. All of your thoughts would have to be exceedingly positive and in the same direction, in order to keep creating a string of desired results. Otherwise, a single negative thought may annihilate all the good  work done earlier, resulting in the need to “start all over again”. I’m sure you can come up with equally hilarious scenarios for  yourself.  Add to that the thousands of thoughts racing through our mind at any one time… and  you suddenly appreciate how things are structured in our current time-space reality. In an alternate universe where thoughts become things instantly, even small fears  would manifest in an instant, and our attention to those manifested monsters would then turn into bigger and bigger nightmares, until things go out of control.

 We also have to be very clear and definite about our intentions the first time round in this alternate reality to make sure we get “precisely” what we want. Otherwise, a lot of  of time would have to be spent later on cleaning things up and undoing our earlier manifestations. I am taking this example to its extreme  because some readers feel that spiritual teachers are flip-flopping on the effectiveness of the “Law of Attraction” when they explain that there has to be a “buffer of time”  before physical manifestation takes place. They simply cannot see a reason as to why there has to be a passage of time, which is understandable because we usually want our “stuff” very, very badly! Some skeptics see this as an “excuse” used by most authors to explain why certain things do not manifest in our lives, or why certain things are still not

 yet manifest despite working on them for long periods of time. But instead of seeing the passage of time as a foe, start seeing it as your ally in manifestation. As I’ve mentioned before, master the way you perceive time, and you master the art of manifestation. Appreciate it because this mandatory passage of time means  you can change your mind freely, without having to spend time undoing your earlier unwanted physical creations. Appreciate the  beauty and consistency of it all because this passage of time means that your negative and worst fears do not come into effect immediately and will usually be neutralized by   your positive thoughts. Overall, there are  way more benefits to having a time buffer in place, which is why there has been a collective agreement to put it there in the first place. It serves our highest good.

I seldom use the phrase the “Law of Attraction” because it implies that there is something “out there”, which we then have to attract into our lives. But if you really  make a study of spiritual teachings, you’ll realize that at its most fundamental level, the Law of Attraction is really talking about the attraction of thought forms. In other words, positive thoughts attract other positive thoughts, and negative thoughts attract other negative thoughts. It is easy to see this phenomenon at work in our daily lives: When I think about something good that makes me feel happy, more good-feeling thoughts come to me and I feel more and more uplifted as I think those thoughts. However, when I’m in a negative, downward-spiral of thoughts, each thought feels worse than the next… and  before long I have a very dire view of the situation. So moving from one thought to another, how one thought spontaneously wells up after the previous one, is actually the Law 

of Attraction in action. Try as we might, we are unable to stop it from happening. It is a natural law of the Universe that we live in. So now that you understand the basics of   why some time has to pass before you get  what you want, here’s the million dollar question: How do you master time to get  what you want? What do you do in the meantime?

Chapter 3 - How The Universe  Always Responds Instantly  In the previous chapter, we discussed the  benefits of living in a time-space reality   where there is a buffer of “time” before our intentions, wishes and desires become manifest in physical reality. Once you are able to come to terms with the existence of this physical “time” buffer and see it as your ally  in manifestations… things will happen for  you very quickly, because this issue of waiting time no longer sticks out like a sore thumb! Remember that the Universe is al ways picking up on the sum total of your intentions, as I mentioned in my book “Banned Manifestation Secrets”. You can never fool or pull wool over the Universe’s eyes. When you feel impatient or stuck, when you wonder  why your physical manifestations are taking

such a long time, the Law of Attraction is picking up on those feelings as well and not surprisingly, you manifest more stuckness! On the other hand, if you make peace with the fact that there is a time buffer, and you come to terms and appreciate the beauty of  how things are… when you see that the ultimate purpose of this time buffer is really for  your benefit, then you are letting in more of  the flow and goodness of the Universe. It is that simple. Before I made the realizations in the pre vious chapter, I too, had the most difficult time accepting the existence of a physical “time” buffer. To me back then, any delay   between the setting of my intentions and the ultimate physical manifestation of my  dreams only made me more focused on the lack of it all… which in turn perpetuated the negativity and lack cycle! Fortunately once I saw things in their right perspective and

gained a deeper understanding of the Universal Laws, things became easy and flowing for me. Today, I no longer worry  about “when” my physical manifestations are going to arrive. I don’t even worry about “if” and “how”. The moment I set an intention, I know that if I do not contradict it internally, the Universe will automatically bring it to fruition. Once you are able to reach this deep level of childlike trust, things happen very  quickly for you… But you must get to the place of deep faith and trust first.  While teaching that there is a “buffer of  time” needed before our desires are made manifest in this physical reality, spiritual teachers also mention that there is no delay  between the moment of asking and the Uni verse responding. In the beginning, this point tripped me up a lot and I could not seem to reconcile the two opposing points of   view. “If the Universe always responds to my 

desires and wishes instantly, then why is there a delay in my physical manifestation?” This is the point which we are going to delve deeper into next, and if you understand this part of the creative process, the rest falls in place very easily for you. Many of our spiritual truths cannot be understood through mere intellectual understanding. One can read about these Laws and agree that they sound very logical and reasonable indeed, but putting them into action is another story! I liken this to learning Math in school. Reading all the formulas and theorems in the textbooks all seemed well and good… until we were made to apply them to the questions! Suddenly, things did not seem that clear cut anymore! I bring up this example because I want you to know it is absolutely alright to feel uncertain or confusion during each stage of your spiritual journey. There will be times when you are filled with

doubts or questions, but how you  embrace  your feelings of uncertainty or confusion makes all the difference in the world. Let me repeat this again as it is an important lesson: How you handle and embrace your feelings of uncertainty makes all the difference,  which means, it ultimately influences the results which you get. In the previous chapter, I talked about there being an unknown void when you wish to create something new in your life. Similarly, one cannot just step into this new life instantly without there being some nagging feelings of doubt, or feelings about how “unnatural” it feels. Of course it feels unnatural! Because your body and mind have not been accustomed to thinking in this manner before, you are using your mind and body in a completely new way.

So while I was trying to reconcile the differences between there being a “time buffer”  before our physical manifestations appeared, and the Universe responding instantaneously without any delay to our desires and intentions… I was momentarily thrust into a state of void or unknown. I was confronted  with two seemingly opposing thoughts, and these produced feelings of discord or unnaturalness for me. Psychologists call this cognitive dissonance. How did I handle this dissonance? I simply did nothing and sat through it. I did not know it back then, but I did the right thing. The right thing was to do nothing, and simply let those two opposing thoughts sit in my mind and to look at each of them curiously. If you will allow yourself  to spend some time in the void each day, not seeking to “know” or “find” all the answers, it  will be one of the most worthwhile experiences in your journey. We will talk about stepping into the void in subsequent

chapters, because the “void” where all uncertainties and unknowns exist is the space of  infinite possibilities. Because nothing is fixed, or certain, everything exists as a probability / possibility in the void. It is then up to you, as the conscious observer, to choose (with your intentions), which realities you  would like to experience. One day, as I was sitting through one of  the guided meditations of renowned meditation teacher Jeddah Mali, I suddenly “got it”. In her guided meditation, Jeddah was gently  guiding us through holding intentions of  “love” and other good feelings, and   feeling how our body instantly responded to our intention with its own unique feeling and blueprint of love. Of course, you can do it right now as you are reading the words on this page. Make an intention to BE “love”, and see how your body instantly responds with the welling up of a warm, happy feeling.

Then make an intention to BE “peace”, and observe how your body instantly responds  with another good feeling. Notice that the feeling of “peace” is somewhat different from “love”, and you can tell one apart from the other. It goes without saying that this exercise can be repeated with any of the negative feelings as well, such as anger, greed or despair… but why deliberately hold intentions of  unwanted feelings?  What I realized in that moment of epiphany, was that the Universe IS indeed responding instantaneously to all our feelings, thoughts, intentions and desires! It responds through our feelings! In other words, the Universe responds unfailingly and we can  feel   its response in the form of feelings,  which we have come to identify as bodily  sensations. In the moment we set an intention to be “love” or “loving”, even with no particular object or target in mind… the

Universe (our bodies) respond and we feel love. There is no time buffer needed for that. The Universe responds instantaneously, regardless of external circumstances, regardless of any excuses you may have as to why   you cannot  or should not feel “love”. You can play with this all day and see the unfailing nature of Universal Laws at play for you. Universal Laws are so dependable that you can depend on them at any time, in any circumstance. That is why your manifestations have to happen… It is Law! Playtime: Close your eyes and set an intention to feel “love”. Notice how the Universe (your body) instantly responds with feelings you associate  with love, feelings that you can recognize as love. Now ask yourself: Where were these feelings a moment ago before

 you held the intention? Feel these feelings and make them more intense, become aware of them as energy, vibrations, goosebumps in your body. This is your body’s interpretation of the energy. Now make an intention to feel a different feeling (pick one of your choice), notice how your body instantly responds to that feeling as well.  You can switch between various feelings and have the Universe respond instantaneously to each of them, because there is absolutely no delay in the Universe’s response. It is always there for you. The last line is worth repeating: There is absolutely no delay in the Universe’s response. The Universe is always there for you. In this exercise we used the feelings of “love” and “peace”. These are broader good-feelings  which are easy for many people to get into.

However, you can also substitute this with more refined intentions… such as “abundance”. In fact, let’s try that right now. Hold an intention for “abundance” and see how  the Universe instantly responds to your intention. Once again… there is no delay. However, some may have difficulties holding an intention of “abundance” because their conscious / rational minds instantly contradict this intention, giving them reasons why  they should not feel “abundant”. For a person who has been negatively conditioned most of his / her life, he / she may find it difficult to even hold a pure intention for “abundance” without having some contradictory thoughts or reverting back to the familiar feelings of lack. For example, the rational mind may instantly say, “Who are you to feel abundant! You are $___ in debt!” or more insidiously, it may say, “What is the use of you feeling abundant! It will not cause money to instantly appear in your bank 

account… you are wasting your time with this silly exercise!”  Ahh! Stay with me for a moment. The rational mind always interprets events, circumstances and conditions in line with its most strongly-held beliefs. Remember that the purpose of the ego, or the conscious rational mind is to “keep you safe”. It does not  want you to go into the void of the unknown, even if its just an inner, spiritual void, because anything unknown is considered to be unchartered territory and therefore dangerous. So if you have been negatively conditioned all your life to believe in “lack” and suddenly hold an intention for “abundance”, how do you think your body will react? It will  be thrown into a state of uncertainty and confusion, because you have never felt abundant  before! You have been so used and conditioned to the feelings of lack, that an abundant feeling is so far from what you are

used to. Feelings of lack (while disempowering and as painful as they may be) actually  feel more familiar to you. In order to step into a new state of being, you need to pass through the void or unknown. This is when  your reasoning, conscious, reasoning mind gives you reasons and excuses to doubt yourself. These excuses may even seem very clever and totally logical in the first place, especially the second one about these exercises  being “silly” and a “waste of time”. Now  here’s the key to breaking through this resistance: Do you want to believe in them?  You have the power at any time to accept or reject any thought that your ego or reasoning mind is trying to tell you. If you  belong to the vast majority of the population that says, “Well, my inner critic is right. I should not be wasting time on these exercises. After all, it will not cause money to suddenly appear in my bank account. I better  be on my way to look for other secrets…”,

then your ego has succeeded in keeping you safe, but at what cost? Everything will still be the same-old, same-old. But… if you recognize the dependability of  these Universal Laws and operate from a higher level of consciousness… if you recognize that these “logical” objections given by   your rational self are simply false beliefs stemming from longterm lack in the past,  you can simply stop believing in them right now. Quoting a phrase from Abraham-Hicks:  A belief is simply a thought you keep thinking over and over again. Therefore, I have the power to reject any beliefs that do not serve me, and replace them with more empowering beliefs. I want to believe in something that serves me. So back to the earlier example of you holding an intention for “abundance”. If you manage to cut through all the mind-chatter

and allow yourself to hold the intention for abundance purely, the Universe responds instantly and it is one of the most beautiful things that can happen to you. You start to realize, perhaps for the first time in your life, that these feelings of abundance are SEPARATE from any physical time and space reality. They are separate from any physical conditions. They are unconditional. The moment you make an intention to feel abundant, to BE abundance, the Uni verse responds unfailingly. And now… if you allow yourself to remain in this state of total abundance, to immerse yourself in this state of abundance for most of the time… not because you “want” something to happen but  because the feeling just feels so good for you, then seemingly “outer” circumstances (we know there is really no “out” there) will start responding to this new inner state that you have cultivated. Old feelings of lack and not-

enough will melt away, because you have now stepped into a new reality for yourself. Remember: You can decide to hold a new  intention at any time and the Universe will respond immediately. You can do it this today, tomorrow, or five years down the road  when you’ve finally had enough. The Uni verse’s response is not subject to the same physical time or space limitations which you may perceive from your end. Simply put, time and space limitations do not even matter to the Universe, so why worry about them? Don’t worry about current circumstances or how things currently are. Do not use those as an excuse you hold yourself   back. Let all of the worrying go and focus purely on holding your intentions (for joy, love, abundance, or whatever you want). It  was not until I started doing this consciously  3 times a day that things started to turn around for me. But you have to take the first

step, only then does the Universe respond to  your new intentions.

Chapter 4 - The Illusion of   Time I admit I used to have a rather conventional view of time. Just like everyone else, I  viewed time as being finite, in which there  was only so much to go around. I viewed time in a strictly linear fashion, with us moving ahead in time from one point to the next. Like many others, I was often pressed for time and felt that I had “not enough” time.  Without even realizing it, my limited concept of time was imprisoning me instead of empowering me. Unless one truly understands the illusion of time, we will always feel trapped and imprisoned by it. A person who does not understand the true nature and purpose of time  will constantly be berating the passing of 

time until the physical manifestation finally  shows up. This person is also likely to feel restricted as each day goes by, as he perceives that “time is running out”, or that there is “not enough time” to do all the things that need to get done. When we are young, these misguided beliefs often do not surface. But as an individual gets older, these beliefs start coming to the surface and what follows is often a difficult emotional period where one feels guilty about having wasted so much time in the past… or feels a sense of sadness that there is no longer enough time to fulfill all of one’s goals or desires in life. Fortunately, time is merely an illusion in our current time-space reality, just as space is an illusion. I know it may be difficult for  you to accept this statement at face value,  just as it was difficult for me to do so in the  beginning. After all, the whole concept of our society has been built upon a common

understanding of time, and any violations of  this understanding can have very serious social repercussions indeed. For example, your co-workers and friends aren’t going to be pleased if you start showing up a few hours late for your appointments! Yet at the same time, I’m sure you have heard stories of time slowing down for various individuals when accidents happened or at urgent, life-threatening moments. You may even have had such experiences yourself. The reverse is also true. You may have felt time “speeding up” when you were enjoying yourself and having a good time, looking at the clock to discover that a few hours have passed…  when they felt like minutes to you! If you’ve had any of these experiences in the past, I invite you to re-examine your beliefs about time. The fact that time can appear to pass faster or slower shows time is perceptual in nature. It is something we

constantly perceive to be faster or slower. If  time is truly a finite unit that exists independently of the observer, then we should all have the same experience of it, and our perceptions of it should not differ from one person to the next.  A friend of mine once told me this wonderful experience which happened to him. I have since heard similar stories from around the world. Once, my friend was involved in a  baton-passing relay race. As you may know, the dropping of the baton in a relay means that the team is disqualified, hence great care has to be taken to ensure that the baton is not accidentally dropped. As my friend  was receiving the baton from the previous runner, the baton slipped out of his hands and (to his horror) started falling towards the ground! Much to his amazement, instead of the baton hitting the ground as it normally   would… it actually ended up being

suspended in mid-air, waiting for him to catch it! After he had gotten over his initial amazement, he quickly reached out to grab the baton which was magically hovering inches away from the floor… and went on to complete the race. I love this story because it wonderfully illustrates the perceptual nature of time.  Would the other competitors and spectators have noticed the baton hovering in mid-air, matrix style, had they been watching my  friend that day? No, they would have not. Time would have passed normally for them, and no one would noticed anything amiss. But because time is perceptual in nature depending on the observer, time appeared to slow itself down for my friend. Put differently, my friend slowed down his perception of time so he had the opportunity to react and prevent the baton from dropping on the floor! I can’t tell you how many similar

stories I have read from around the world. Stories about events appearing to slow down during an accident, which would then allow  the individual to react in time to avert disaster. These stories suggest that time is very   bendable indeed. I told my friend that there could be a few reasons for his miraculous experience. First, he knew that dropping the  baton would lead to an undesirable outcome… and therefore he had implicitly set a higher intention to avoid that outcome. Reality therefore yielded to him to fulfil that intention. Second, he was in a flow state, a very  focused state of mind during the competition. A very focused and inner-directed state puts us in tune with the rhythm of the Uni verse, where we allow Universal energy to simply work through us without resisting any of the “flow”.  While I had only experienced that time seemed to pass faster or slower for me

depending on whether I was engrossed in the activity I was doing, I never had any conscious experiences of “altering” my perception of time until I read an excellent book by  spiritual author and psychologist Gay  Hendricks. In one chapter of his book “The Big Leap”, Gay introduces his concept of Einstein Time, which stands in contrast to Newtonian Time. The Newtonian school views time as finite, in limited supply and progressing in a strictly linear fashion. On the other hand, the concept of Einstein Time  views time as relative to the observer. I immediately fell in love with the concept of Einstein Time the moment I read about it,  because it was an invitation for me to truly  play with this concept. Up till that moment, I had only read about such amazing time experiences happening to others but never really experienced such things myself. I al ways thought that these experiences

happened spontaneously, by chance. However, after reading Hendricks’ chapter about Einstein Time, I came to the realization that since time is an illusion in itself, perhaps all of us can try our hand at altering our perception of time to our benefit. There have been many scientific theories postulated about time. In scientific terms, time is a scalar, and one of the dimensions of  our three dimensional world. The conventional view is that time can only move for ward but not backwards. However, scientists also suggest that time is a way we use to organize and make sense of events. We use time to delineate the order of events, such that there will be events that happened first, and subsequent events that happened later. If there is no concept of time, everything  would appear to us as happening at the single point of now. Spiritual teachers often allude to time as an “illusion”, and that there

is no time, there is only the here and now. Now is the only present moment you have, and no matter which moment you’re at, it’s always now, now and now. So it follows that these two concepts actually complement one another: On one hand, there is no time. We can never really perceive the passage of time. There is only now. Our subconscious minds (as an extension of higher universal intelligence) have a hard time perceiving linear time, as there is only NOW. Everything is happening right now. On the other hand, our conscious minds need to use time as some sort of a filing cabinet, to organize the events in our lives in a kind of chronological order to give order, meaning and logic to our lives. If everything happened at a single point to us, it would be very difficult to perceive what  was happening. Perhaps the most striking evidence of time being an illusion are the accounts of individuals who have had neardeath experiences. These individuals often

report a feeling of timelessness, where everything seems to be happening at once, in  which they are simultaneously aware of  everything happening at once. Obviously, time serves an important purpose in our lives… which is to allow us to perceive and enjoy the experiences that happen to us. However, what happens when we  view time as a burden instead of an empowering concept? This is where so many  people fall into the trap. Recall the previous chapter when we discussed the time buffer  before physical manifestations occur? Most people see this time buffer as a hindrance, rather than an aid. Gay Hendricks in his book offers an enlightening affirmation to use, which I have since expanded and adapted for my own use. The statement goes like this: “You’re where time comes from.” I prefer to say it as, “I am

 where time comes from.” Some people may  have trouble grasping that, so I suggest using this statement instead, “Time, like everything else, is energy.” Think of time as a “construct”, a man-created concept, as it is done in modern timekeeping where use elaborate watches, clocks and a whole network of atomic clocks to keep time. Our world would be very different if   we did not keep track of the passage of time. But more fundamentally, recognize that time is an illusion, and is up to how we choose to perceive it. Our time-related experiences are related to how we perceive time, and we can change our perceptions of time at any  moment. It did not occur to me how often I was looking at my watch during the course of a day, simply for no other reason but to know  the current time! This habit did not hit me

until I started consciously practicing the exercises I’m about to share with you in this chapter. I realized that I was looking at my   watch and my clocks throughout the day out of sheer habit and for no particular reason! Most of the time, I was not even going for a meeting or keeping track of time to be punctual for an appointment. My mind had simply been conditioned to use the passage of time as a means of keeping track of life. If  this sounds familiar to you, it will be a very  liberating experience to stop doing it, at least for the time being. The next playtime activity  offers some helpful suggestions to do so. Playtime: Whenever you feel the urge to look at a clock or watch out of  habit (especially if there is no need to do so), stop and say silently to yourself: “Time is an illusion. I am where time comes from. I can make more time when I need it.” If you do this

consistently throughout a few days or  weeks, it will be one of the most liberating experiences in your life. I took this practice a step further and started trying it out in times when I thought I  would be late. Guess what, ever since adopting this new belief that time is simply an “illusion”, I have   never   been late for an appointment! Whereas in the past, I would often arrive late, frantic and apologetic! I do realize you may need some concrete examples, so here are two most recent examples as I write this… The first occurred when I was scheduled for a lunch appointment at 2.30pm. When I left my house at 2.15pm, the traffic conditions immediately made it clear that I would  be “late”. In the past, this would have led me to be panicky and frazzled. I would have felt the urge to text my friend while driving, and

inform them I would be late by 10 - 15 minutes. Then I would keep looking at my   watch to ensure that I kept to this “new” timing. However, that would be the old way of  functioning for me. I decided to put my new  knowledge into practice. Throughout the  journey, I resisted the strong urge to look at the watch and kept telling myself, “Time is an illusion. I am where time comes from. I can make more time when I need it.” Guess  what happened? I was feeling so comfortable  with my new practice that I felt no rush, and a deep sense of peace and relaxation. When I reached the mall, I even had time to go to the  washroom before making my way to the restaurant. Just as I was walking towards the restaurant, I spotted my friend walking to wards the entrance too! He was surprised at the synchronicity of it all… and I was secretly  surprised, at how the Universe ensured that everything happened for both of us in perfect timing. Trust me, had I been functioning in

my old mode of reacting to and worrying about time, I would have been a panicky  mess by the time I reached the restaurant… on top of making dozens of phone calls and text messages to tell my friend that I would not be there on time. The second experience occurred when I  was driving to an important seminar, at  which it was important to arrive on time. Once again, traffic conditions made it clear that I would be late. To make matters worse, there were no parking lots available when I reached the venue, which meant I had to park at a further car park and take a longer  walk that usual. Again, knowing what I now  know, I resisted the constant urge to look at my watch and repeated: “I am where time comes from. I can make more time if  needed.” The seminar was slated to begin at 2.30pm, and the first surprise was that I was not as late as I had imagined. When I finally 

glanced at my watch as I walked into the room, it was only 5 minutes past two-thirty. The next surprise was that a technical glitch had occurred in the setting up of the conferencing equipment, which resulted in the seminar not starting until 2.50pm! I was therefore on time, and missed nothing. The Universe truly orchestrates everything in di vine timing.  Whenever you see through an illusion, it collapses. I encourage you to do the same too  with the concept of time. Of course, I’m not advocating that you start turning up late for all your appointments and start disregarding punctuality altogether. What I’m saying is that it helps to remind yourself once in a  while that time is simply an illusion, and that  you can control your perception of time. You can make more of it if you need it, but do not make too much lest you get bored! Ever since adopting this playful mindset of time and

fully allowing myself to experiment with it, I’ve had incredibly productive days. I no longer feel “rushed” or “pressed” for time. I never say, “I have not enough time to do everything I need to do!” (I know a friend  who says this all the time, and he is one of  the most stressed out individuals I know… constantly feeling squeezed for time).  When I feel the need for more time, I simply say, “Okay, time is just an illusion so let me stretch and make more of it. Everything happens in its own perfect time.” Ever since setting this new intention and stepping into this new reality for myself, I’ve had incredibly productive days. The day just seems to stretch to accommodate all my  activities, be it the time I need to write, come up with new ideas, exercise, or run my errands. Life is so much freer and more fun now. I sincerely invite you to try the techniques in this chapter and see them work in

 your own life. As with everything else in this  book, the only way to know is to try it first.

The

Wait

is

 Always Optional Let’s review what we have learnt up to this point. So far, we have clarified the purpose of the “time buffer” needed before physical manifestations take place, and why this time buffer is beneficial to you. We also talked about how the Universe responds instantaneously to your intentions, by virtue of  letting you “feel” certain emotions the moment you hold a thought or intention in your mind. This is the most fundamental phenomenon of the “Law of Attraction”, the instantaneous attraction of like energy in the form of thoughts and feelings. Then in the previous chapter, we talked about the illusory nature of time… and how you can alter  your perception and experience of time at  will.

Human time is a concept we have come up with to allow us to “make sense” of, and to organize the events that happen in our lives in a meaningful way. As the saying, “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward” shows, human beings rely on time to interpret and add meaning to the events in their lives. Very often, we look back at seemingly bad things that happened in our past and start seeing the greater good in them. But we can only see the greater message with the benefit of hindsight. Of course, there are also times when  we give bad labels or interpretations to events, which then stay with us for the rest of  our lives. It is the interpretation of these events that causes problems for us, rather than the event itself. As such, there are numerous therapy techniques built around the concept of a timeline in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and in other healing

modalities, which involve an individual going back and “changing” certain past events in their timeline to remove the negative charge of it. To your higher self and unconscious mind, the concept of linear “time” is difficult for to understand. There is no time. There is only the here and now. Yet on the other hand, your conscious mind relies on time to organize its thoughts, and to keep you sane. In order to be an effective manifestor, you must learn how to “bridge the gap” between these two seemingly disparate concepts. How do you live in a world structured around physical time, and yet be of  no time? How do you accept that your physical manifestations will come in time, and still act as if  they are already here?

The exercises shared in the previous chapter, in which you resist urges to keep looking at your watch and remind yourself  about the illusory nature of time will aid you greatly in mastering this. These are two key  areas, that once mastered, will allow you to  be a very effective conscious manifestor. I often mention in my teachings that the only reason why the physical “stuff” has not appeared in your life yet… is your constant contradiction of it. For example, while you may say “I want a new red sports car”, your next associated (conditioned) thought of “but how am I going to afford it?” has effectively  nullified the first intention. Most people thus go through most of their days unconsciously, taking one step forward but two steps back, thinking something and then nullifying it  with another statement. Most people make some progress and then erase it with associated negative and fear thoughts.

In order to make progress in your desired direction and get closer to the physical manifestation, your thoughts need to be aligned in a single direction. The more you train yourself to be able to do that, the faster your manifestations will happen for you. If your thoughts are going in both directions (both towards and away from your manifestations), it will then seem that your manifestations are taking a long time. But that is only   because you are making use of the “time buffer” to “clarify” your intentions. Each time  you think or feel a negative or nullifying thought, the Universe does not see it as something bad or unwanted. The Universe does not judge. Instead, it is responding perfectly to the nature of your thoughts, and treating it completely neutrally as a process of you clarifying your intentions. The Uni verse is always acting on your behalf.

Recall the earlier exercise in which you closed your eyes and held the intention of  “love”. The Universe responded instantly by  letting you feel that unique feeling of “love”,  which you instantly recognized to be “love”, in which no words or labels are necessary. In the same vein, the Universe is always responding unfailingly to your thoughts and intentions. Now let’s suppose you keep yourself focused on your intention for a longer period of time. What happens is that the feelings of love usually get more and more intense, until you now start to “feel” love at a higher level than before. If at this moment,  you were to suddenly think an angry or depressed thought (which may not be easy if   you are vibrating at a high energetic level,  but let’s say something attracts your attention enough for you to change your thoughts)… how will you feel? You will instantly go from feeling “love” to feeling “anger” or “despair”. The process is almost

instantaneous. The moment you give your attention to that new contradictory thought,  you feel   it in your body, in every cell of your  being. Now let’s suppose that you want to feel love again, so you set the intention again and the Universe responds again, but in the process you have taken a longer “time” because of the detour you took in the middle  when you felt something contrary to your original intention. Can you see how this situation parallels the process of “failed” or “delayed” manifestations for so many  people? The stuff is not coming not   because the process does not work, but because the process works too well! The Universe is al ways giving to you, at the precise moment,  whatever is called for by you! Let’s say you manage to hold the intention of “love” for a long period of time, until you feel so good that you immerse yourself in the good feelings of it. If you manage to do so

long enough, completely immersing yourself  in the good euphoric feelings of “love”… then every single thing that you have ever desired and all the right things will be delivered into  your life in the most perfect way possible. I know it feels strange now as you are reading these words, especially if you’ve never had this experience before. It defies all logic. You may be thinking, “How can a person sitting there, silently by himself and holding the intention of ‘feeling good’ have good things happen to him? He should be doing something instead of sitting on the couch!”  Well, first recognize that the statement above is a misplaced belief in taking “action”. Second, it is my own personal experience that a person holding a good-feeling state  will not be able to remain STILL in that state for too long. What I have found (which you can discover for yourself too) is that once you start vibrating at higher and higher levels of 

good feelings, you start becoming closer to  your divine source. You start allowing the goodness of the Universe to flow through  you. At that moment, you receive all the insights and impulses you need for the fulfilment of your life. In fact, inaction will be impossible as these impulses become too strong for you to ignore! Any action you take will then feel very natural to you. Have you ever felt a strong impulse to do something, and just   knew   that everything  would turn out right if you followed that inner guidance? I have, and I can’t tell you how  many times following my impulses have led me to the right book, the right person, or the right circumstances. In fact, I can’t even recall an instance in my life when these supposed impulses caused me any harm. Not one single episode. I hesitate to even call them “impulses” because I know I did not act on impulse, which usually implies a kind of 

rashness (acting before something is ready). Instead, I know that my actions were backed  by a gentle Universal force, and were born from me being in the flow of the Universe.  When you give up resisting and allow the Universe to guide you, life become effortless for you. You merge with the Universal flow  and become one with the Divine. It is as if  there is no separation between you and di vinity, and doors open for you at every turn. This makes sense once we look at things from the perspective of the divine, from the perspective of our higher consciousness. To the divine, there is no conception of time. Everything is happening here and now.  When you ask, it is answered for you here and now. Any time delay is therefore perceptual and a product of our own consciousness. If we frequently contradict our intentions, then we will perceive the intervening time as a delay in terms of physical time. If we are

strongly aligned to our desires, and hold coherent intentions, then no time delay is necessary or will even be perceived. Everything comes in its own perfect time. The perfect analogy for this is when you order something on Amazon. You know, as much as you look forward to receiving your parcel, that it IS on its way, and it is so. You place your faith and trust in Amazon’s ordering and fulfilment systems, and you are not particularly worried about things going  wrong, because even if they did, Amazon has a system to set things right for you. Let it be the same for your Universal desires. Once  you have set your intention, rest in the knowledge that the Universe is acting on it. It is picking your order out right now and delivering it to you. The Universe is already responding to bring whatever you want to you.  You now know that this is not acting on blind faith, but acting with a firm faith in universal

law. Through the earlier exercises in this  book, you have had first hand, personal experience of the Universe responding instantaneously to your intentions in the form of  feelings, which is nothing more than an energy pattern which you interpret. Therefore, if the Universe responds instantaneously   when you hold an intention to “feel” a certain  way, it must also respond instantly when you hold an intention to “be” or “have” a particular thing. While you would very much like  your Amazon package to appear on your doorsteps instantly, you also accept that there is a buffer of time. In this sense, you understand that there is a delivery process that needs to take place. The order needs to  be picked from the warehouse, packaged, and then sent on the delivery truck. The courier will then deliver it to your doorsteps.  You do not question this process too much in the physical world, and you just trust it to do its job. Let the same be the case for your

manifestations. Know that an unseen process is orchestrating everything behind-thescenes, just as how you do not need to know  the way FedEx or UPS schedules all its routes, or the intricate system of networks used to deliver your order to you. You just know it is done the moment you order it! In the same way, the Universe is working its magic, coordinating all the small pieces that fit together to deliver your “order” to you. Just as you accept that your order will appear at your doorsteps in one to two days (rush shipping is always available!), you can also go for the rush shipping option on your universal desires. But here, instead of telling it to be rushed… you need to tell yourself the opposite — to feel very relaxed. You remind  yourself that everything is happening in its own perfect time, and that the wait is optional. Remind yourself that while you wait, there are just as many things for you to

occupy yourself with. There is no need to sit there waiting for the thing to appear, for a  watched pot never boils. Watching an empty  space and waiting for something to happen is placing more attention on lack. So don’t even fall into this trap of “watching” something, and observing or tracking its every move. Spiritual teachers have taught this time and time again… that when you grow a seed, you do not dig it up every few days to check   whether it has grown. You will kill the seed in the process! And so the same applies in modern terms. After you have cast your intention, don’t keep checking in physical reality to see whether it has “manifested”. Know  that it will arrive, just as your Amazon order  will arrive. Know that your perception of  time is an illusion, and you can perceive time to be as short or as long as you like. Rest in the knowledge and satisfaction that while  your universal order is being filled, you can partake in many equally meaningful and

 joyful things, which will then lead you on to more and more enjoyable things. The only   job you have is to decide what you want, and to step aside and let it happen.

What When

Really   You

 Visualize? Most people have a misguided view of   visualization. Clearing up these views and clarifying what happens will be very useful, as these misguided beliefs often present themselves as “resistance” that slow down the manifestation process. Visualization, just like meditation, is an often misunderstood process. There are some who sit in vain and  visualize all day, hoping that what they want  will suddenly pop into their experience. Then there are others who eschew it completely, considering it a waste of time. The sweet spot is actually the happy middle ground, where  you neither spend too much time visualizing nor not do it at all. I visualize 3 times a day,

for just a few minutes each time (rarely exceeding 5 minutes), along with all the practices that I share in my other books. And I’ll explain the logic behind this later. But first, understand that the amount of “wait” or delay you experience before physical demonstrations happen in your life is in direct proportion to the amount of resistance you offer, and your beliefs about the role played by  space / time in the process. Therefore, a small shift in perception can indeed produce a huge change in actual, physical results. The first few chapters of this book have hopefully  shifted your perceptions a bit, through all the anecdotes, exercises and examples I have shared. In this chapter, we’ll discuss the concept of space. Many people see visualization as a “spatial” concept. They see themselves as sitting in some familiar spot in their home (such as in their favourite armchair in the

living room), and then strongly sending out  visual images (signals) that will somehow be “picked up on” by the Universe. Then, through the magnetic power of their thoughts, feelings and emotions, similar events and circumstances are drawn to them like a magnet from the external world. While the above metaphor is helpful for explaining how visualizations work to a beginner, it is not very resourceful for someone who intends to go beyond   the beginner stage, to be an effective and conscious manifestor in his or her life. Most people who believe in the magnetic attraction metaphor of using their thoughts to “attract” physical events, things and people into their lives end up questioning  whether they are “sending their signals out” in the right way to the Universe. They end up obsessing over the actual process or method  by which they send out their signals to the

Universe. They are worried that if they do not do so correctly, the Universe will not be able to pick up their signals accurately and act on them accurately. As I have mentioned, this is a misguided and disempowering view. Proponents of this view often emphasize the need to visualize or meditate for long hours on end, or to state their intentions over-andover again for fear that the Universe is not receiving it properly like a faulty television set! Think back to a time when something physically manifested for you, in which you did not spend too much time trying to visualize or “feel” what you wanted. Still, that thing happened for you. I am sure you can also think of counter examples in which you stated your desires over and over again to the Universe, and still nothing happened. I know from personal experience that as long as you state your intention to the Uni verse (more about that in my book “Banned

Manifestation Secrets”) and then don’t seek  to contradict it with limiting beliefs or opposing thoughts (such as thoughts of fear,  worry, doubt)… the manifestations will occur for you in due course. Even worrying about  when and whether a manifestation will occur is an opposing thought, which has the effect of “cancelling” out your good intentions! Space (just like time) is an illusion, where in fact everything is HERE and NOW. Notice how when we use the phrase “here and now”, “here” refers to space, while “now” refers to the time aspect. Also notice that when you did the earlier exercise of closing your eyes and holding the intention of love, the end result was not contingent on where you were.  You could be in your favorite armchair at home, or you could just as well have been standing in line at the store. In fact, no matter where you hold the intention of love, the Universe always responds unfailingly.

Therefore, this is proof that physical location does does not matt matteer. If phys physic ical al loca locati tion on trul truly  y  mattered, then you could only get the Uni verse to respond while you were at certain places and not others. The fact that you are able to access your feelings at every single point in physical space shows that Universal Laws go beyond physical boundaries.  With this new understanding in mind, think of visualization not as an exercise to “send out signals”. Think of everything you need (including what you’re trying to manifest) as already HERE and NOW. When you close your eyes and visualize whatever it is that you want, be it a physical object, experience or a particular outcome… feel the feelings… as if that manifestation or demonstration has already taken place for you. There is no time lag, and there is no delay. Get yourself to feel the exact same feelings as you  would when the physical manifestation

occurs. So if you want a new car, feel the exact same feelings of exhilaration (as best as  you can). There is no rule that says you need the physical object to experience the exact same feelings. You don’t. You can feel those same feelings independently of whether the actual thing has manifested for you. When  you get to this stage, you are effectively transcending the boundaries of physical time and space. You are becoming ONE with whatever  you are wanting, and bridging that physical gap that exists between you and the desired item. Choose an object or experience which you  would like to experience in your physical reality. For beginners, it is easier to choose a tangible object which you can focus your attention upon, since an experience may in volve more layered feelings. Relax, close your eyes and then picture yourself in the scene. If   you want a new red car, picture yourself 

driving the car and every single detail of the new red car. It may be helpful to go test drive the car, or to go online to search for photographs of the car to aid yourself in the construction of this mental picture. By now, you may be rolling your eyes and thinking, “Oh no, here he goes again about visualizations and making mental pictures or movies. It’s the same old thing again!” That’s what I thought as well at the beginning. The first book I read and the first teachings I encountered spoke of visualizations and creating a mental picture. So did the last book I read and most of the other  books in the middle! In the beginning I was skeptical. I was looking for something “new”. If you read most of the negative reviews people leave for books on manifestation and conscious creation, the number one complaint that pops up is: “There was nothing new in this book.” These people put the book 

down and go in search for something “new” that will help them. They are always looking for that one breakthrough technique that will finally work for them. But… here’s the kicker: These techniques are not about what you DO. They’re dependent on who you ARE. They are dependent on  your inner state. What do you believe about the techniques you are doing? Are you just going through the motions? Are you just  visualizing because the book tells you it  would be beneficial to do so, and because many others have done so and received good results? Or are you really immersing yourself  in the process because you now know it is in line with Universal Laws and it will also  work for you? Until you adopt the latter approach, all of these techniques will not work  for you because the person inside has not changed. The observer has not changed, and therefore the quantum field cannot change.

To affect the quantum field where there is no time and no space requires the observer to  be different. This means setting and holding new intentions about the process. When you are able to change your inner observer (often referred to as the inner consciousness), your outer world changes for you spontaneously. So approach visualization not as some act of “magnetic attraction” although it does seem like so at the beginning. It is easy to see  why misconceptions like this can develop. Suppose an individual does not have a red sports car, and so he visualizes daily. Along the way he also manages to release enough resistance and puts himself in the position to receive the red sports car in his life, and so finally he amasses enough money to buy it. One moment (along the space-time continuum), the red sports car was not there. The next moment, it materializes in his life. Therefore to a person who does not know the

higher workings of spiritual laws, what he has asked for has suddenly “appeared” in his physical experience. One moment it was not there, and the next moment it somehow  popped into his existence. A person who adopts this belief will then work harder and harder at trying to have the Universe “pick  up on” his requests. Whenever things do not  work, he will assume that there is something  wrong with the sending of signals, that they  are not being received and interpreted correctly by the Universe. This illusion is only perpetuated if you see  yourself as a physical being standing in physical space, being separate from the Universe, that is supposedly some entity that is “up there” or “out there”. Can you see why now, that when man views himself as physically  separate from pure spirit, he has to spend so much time “broadcasting” his beliefs to some receiving station “out there” that will finally 

receive and act on them? But there is no receiving station. There is no broadcasting station. These are all very useful analogies teachers over the ages have used to explain these concepts to others… but you must recognize them for what they are: Mere maps that represent reality, and not reality itself.  Whatever analogies that are being used can  be very helpful in explaining concepts, but after that the inner reality must be experienced himself, by the student.  What really happens with you visualize? One day as I was visualizing and going through a mental picture exercise, I suddenly  heard a very clear voice within me say, “Relax… not strain”. At that moment everything clicked for me. I wasn’t relaxing enough. I was trying so hard to visualize and to “feel the feelings”, as if the stronger I felt those feelings, the stronger they would be felt by the Universe! I was putting in more

effort and getting counterproductive results. The moment I heard those words, my mind and body instantly relaxed. I enjoyed the process instead of wanting the physical process to actually “achieve” something.  And so it is the way with visualizations.  Why do you even want to visualize in the first place? You visualize because it feels good! You visualize because it relaxes and calms you down greatly. You visualize for no other reason, other than because it feels good to you! Therefore, if it does not feel good to you, if it feels as if you are struggling to hold a mental picture and straining too hard, mentally repeat the words which came to me, “Relax… not strain”. There is no strain or difficulty in any of these processes. You should be relaxing right into them and enjoying them immensely. And if at this point in  your life, you find that you cannot (for  whatever reason) enjoy these visualization

sessions, stop doing them! Stop beating  yourself up over them! Don’t think that manifestations can only occur IF and only IF  you visualize. They will occur regardless.  Visualizations are not a necessary condition for manifestations to occur. An alignment  with Universal Laws is a necessary condition. Here’s a very powerful addition to your  visualization exercises, if you choose to do them. Close your eyes, relax yourself mentally and picture whatever it is that you want. Immerse yourself fully in the experience.  While you are doing so, tell yourself that “Space and time is an illusion. There is no space and time, there is only HERE and NOW. Everything is HERE and NOW.” Immerse yourself in the here and now, the single-pointedness of it all. Repeat these  words to yourself and more importantly feel the essence of what they mean, “There is only here and now. Everything is here and

now.” This is very important. You must  feel  the true essence of what they mean. Just as in the previous chapter when I resisted the urge to look at the watch and told myself that time is merely an illusion, tell yourself that there is NO space and NO time. Immerse  yourself in a space where your physical desires are already present, HERE and NOW. Remind yourself that any separation you perceive is only illusory. It is necessary for us to make sense of this world, and to enjoy this  world. But more importantly, tell yourself  that you are bypassing space and time… to enjoy right at this moment… whatever it is that you are wanting to have in your physical experience. Tell yourself that it does not matter if you do not have it… because you can already access those feelings right here and now… by closing your eyes and holding that clear mental picture or intention. Feel the feelings more than the words you are saying, because your feelings will signify true

understanding of the principles we have discussed. When you really understand the principles behind my words, then no words are necessary. To sum it up, visualization is not a process  where you attempt to broadcast signals. Instead, visualization is a process in which you use to bridge the time and space standing  between where you currently are, and where  your desires are. When you visualize, all space and time limitations disappear, and  you experience the feelings associated with  your manifestation right here and now. As  you access these feelings on a regularly basis,  you gradually start to create a new reality for  yourself. It becomes easier for you to ease into that new manifested reality.  When I first started visualizing, I was often unsure of whether I was doing it correctly. Still, I did it anyway, 3 times a day for

no more than 5 minutes each time. I visualized one thing at a time using the techniques shared earlier, not attempting to broadcast any signals out to the Universe or to “attract” anything, but simply just to allow myself to “bridge the gaps” of time and space. My visualization experiences became very enjoyable for me, and each time I opened my eyes, I  would go about my normal daily routine  without even thinking about what happened during the session. Barely a week after I started my thrice daily sessions, I receive an unexpected phone call from an old client of  mine who had some work for me. Just like that, what I had asked for appeared in my  life in the most harmonious circumstances possible. Because I had bridged the gaps of  space and time, I had gradually eased myself  into a new reality where what I asked for was already in existence. Had I worried about how it would come to me, or fretted over

 whether it would work… none of it would have happened. The Universe always knows the best way  to deliver something to you, so leave that part to the Universe. In my case, it came through an old client who had previous contact with me. Apparently, the Universe saw  that as the easiest way to fulfil my desires.  What’s even more exciting is that the channel in which the Universe fulfils your desires  will be different from how it fulfils mine… so keep an open mind and engage in the joyful attitude of play. Do these exercises because they feel good, then drop any thought of  them completely and go about your daily  lives. The Universe rings when you least expect it!

Chapter 7 - How to Overcome Negative Conditioning That Block Your Manifestations  What happens during your visualization and meditation sessions is important… but  what do you do during the rest of your waking hours? What do you do with the rest of   your time? More pointedly, how do you feel  and what do you think when you’re not actively turned inwards? Most people who adopt the misguided notion that visualization is a “sending out” or “broadcasting” of intentions wrongly believe that if they broadcast their intentions strongly enough 3 times a day, whatever they do in between, for the rest of the day does not matter.

In fact, whatever you do during the remaining 15 hours matters just as much, or even more! Assuming that you sleep for 8 hours, visualize and meditate collectively for 1 hour a day, and then engage in your usual activities for the remaining 15 hours of the day… How you feel in those 15 hours is of  crucial importance. If you can understand this principle, you’ll achieve great progress in  whatever you’re doing. Here’s a quick question: How do you feel during most of your day? Do you feel at peace and secure? Do you feel positively expectant? Do you feel a sense of lightness, deep trust in the Universe and peaceful most of the time? If you do… then I surmise that things must be going very well for you, even though we have not met in person. Things must  turn out well for you … for it is Universal Law!  You don’t even have to feel good “all” the time. That again, is another misconception.

 You just need to feel good “most” of the time, and soon you’ll find all the good things starting to flow into your experience. Let me give  you a personal example. Most people assume that since I write these spiritual books that I feel good absolutely 100% of the time. That can’t be further from the truth. I am just like everyone else. I have my good days, and I have my bad days. Sometimes I observe and give my attention to unwanted things, which results in me feeling sad, angry, or depressed. Sometimes I experience physical situations with others,  which again invoke negative feelings. How   you handle these “negative” or “unwanted” feelings is a lesson in itself. Once again,  Abraham-Hicks have an analogy in which one would not deliberately paste a happy  face sticker over their fuel gauge, so as not to see when their tank is running low. Or that one would not deaden the nerves on their

fingers so as not to feel the burning sensation when touching a hot object. Obviously, our negative thoughts and feelings have  value. Their greatest value is in teaching us that we are focused upon something bad or unwanted at the moment, and that our job is to turn away from it, to focus in the direction of where we ultimately want to go. Once again it is easy to see why individuals who  believe in the notion of “broadcasting” signals to the Universe will frown upon this concept of embracing our negative feelings,  because they will want to be extra careful about what they are broadcasting to the Uni verse at any given moment. Yet there is no  broadcasting involved, the Universe picks up on all of our intents perfectly and instantaneously. The “bad” feelings are letting you know that whatever the Universe is picking up and giving you more of is not in line with  what you want. That’s why it feels bad to  you.

Being a conscious manifestor is something that can be done by everyone. In the opening chapter of this book, I talked about how you already have all the apparatus  you need to do everything in this book. Howe Howev ver, er, stic sticki kin ng to the the prac practi tice ce req require uiress some determination and inner work, especially if we have been conditioned over long periods of time to think in a certain way by  society. So don’t give up if you can’t seem to direct your thoughts in the desired manner at the beginning, for you will soon get better at it. And the better you get at all of this, the easier it is to excel at it because you are already coasting in the right direction. Let’s say I’m working happily and suddenly some worrying thoughts come up for me. They could be worrying thoughts about anything, the actual subject does not matter. For most people who believe in the outdated

notion that you are trying to “attract” something from the Universe, it becomes a constant inner struggle because they are al ways trying to suppress such “worrying” thoughts. All their waking hours go along the lines of, “Oh no… I better stop feeling this  way now before the Universe takes back my  new car!” You get the idea. But this is not the  way it works. You are not being “rewarded” each time you feel good and “penalized” each time you feel bad! The Universe is not working on some kind of a scoring system. So don’t be afraid if negative thoughts come into your awareness. Embrace them. They are like the fuel gauge in your car, letting you know that you have to take corrective action  before something bigger happens, which is  your car running out of fuel in the middle of  the road!  When you notice your car running low on fuel, what do you do? You don’t start saying

“Oh no, I must not feel this way! I must not  believe that my car is running out of fuel! I must drive extremely slowly and carefully to avoid it running out of fuel in the middle of  the road!” That would be absurd and downright hilarious in our everyday lives. But that that’s ’s exact xactly ly what hat most most peo people ple are are doin doing g  with their negative feelings! They say, “Oh no, I must not allow myself to feel bad! I must suppress all bad feelings right now and replace them with good thoughts!” Then it  becomes an ongoing struggle because one can never really suppress our bad feelings  without facing them head-on. They just keeping coming up over and over again for us until we do something about them. When  you feel a negative thought, the most resourceful thing you can do in the moment (and the greatest help you can be to yourself) is to stop judging yourself for it. Let it be okay to feel the feeling in the moment. Let it be okay to have the thought in

the moment. This very simple shift in perception will change your reality. Instead of   beating yourself up over every negative thought, tell yourself that sometimes you have positive thoughts and sometimes you have negative thoughts, and it is alright to feel both of them. So take a deep breath and embrace the negative, worrying thought  when it comes. Once again, it is very useful to let the negative feeling or thought express itself fully in  your physical body. Most of us are afraid of  these bad feelings. This is again linked to the misplaced belief that these bad feelings are sabotaging our intentions. But remember that there is a buffer of time before anything happens? The buffer of time allows you to make timely corrections before unwanted physical manifestations happen. Let’s say   you worry about your bills, and whether they   will be paid. This feeling feels familiar to you,

and in some kind of a perverse way, it even makes you feel good and safe. Remember  what we discussed earlier about these feelings being “familiar territory”. They are something instantly recognisable by your  body as a feeling of “financial worry”. Contrast this feeling with that of love which you felt earlier in this book, their signatures and  blueprints are very different. The way they  feel energetically is very different. Give thanks that you are able to tell the differences between the two! Now that you feel these feelings of financial worry fully in the body, it is good to identify them. How do they feel like to you? In which part of your body do you feel them? Once again, if you adopt the old misguided notion that this is sabotaging your manifestations, you will never want to engage in this exercise. But once you understand the true nature of the Universe, and how there is

 value in experiences like this, you open up.  You begin to see the feeling for what it is. Just a feeling, a negative thought. A worry is nothing but a negative feeling. That’s all. Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Recognize the feeling for what it is — just energy. Once you begin to map out where the negative feeling is in your body, for example, as a tight lump in your throat, or as a knot in  your stomach, or even a slight throbbing at the back of your neck, or tightness in your shoulders… you are allowing yourself to “feel the feelings” fully. You have come face-toface with the feeling, and are now seeing it (quite possibly for the first time) for what it really is: Just a feeling in your body, brought on by one thought which you had earlier.  And now this is the key question to ask   yourself: Do you want to believe in this feeling? If you do, you’ll go down the garden path like a lamb to slaughter. You’ll be

 walking down the same old familiar path of  thinking up all the negative scenarios and  what if’s, everything will be same-old, sameold to you. Most people who do not understand the higher nature of things will choose this first path by default. Their current level operating in the world does not allow them to choose anything else. They do not see the  value in choosing anything else. Therefore, they do not and continue to create by default. But you are different. You have been equipped with the tips and techniques in this  book. You know the truths of the Universe.  You know you can choose differently. And therefore, you choose differently. You choose not to believe in the thought. You choose to  believe in something completely different. Suppose you have a fear or worry over  whether you’ll be able to pay your bills this month. This is the initial thought that led to the fear or worry response, which is now 

identified as a sickening feeling in your stomach. This worrying feeling feels so familiar to you. But if you’re able to catch yourself at this moment and remember what we have learnt earlier, you know that you can set a different intention to which the Universe responds instantly. Therefore, let’s choose something different. Choose another thought that makes you feel   better. At the beginning, this takes practice but you’ll soon get the hang of  this process. So let’s see: What thoughts can possibly feel better in this case? Hmm… how  about: “Even though I have worried about my finances in the past, I have always been able to pay them when due. Things have al ways worked out for me.” This thought is just as true, and in fact, may be more true than the first negative worrying thought that came up for you! So now, after consciously choosing the second thought, you notice that the

 worrying or negative feelings are not as intense as before. You have indeed made a step in the positive direction. Then from there,  you choose another related thought that  brings you closer to where you want to feel. It may be this: “Hmm… that thought was probably a conditioned response from the past. In the past I would have worried, but I don’t now!”  And so bit by bit, you consciously choose and replace negative, unwanted thoughts that produce unwanted feelings in your body   with positive thoughts that feel better. I credit Abraham-Hicks for this process because it is truly one of the few effective processes that I have found to get rid of those small, negative, resistant thoughts that may  keep showing up for you. The key is to tackle these negative worry thoughts one at a time, as they arise instead of simply believing in them. If you’ll devote some time to do this

consciously for most of your waking hours,  you’ll find that gradually the worry thoughts subside because you have let go and released the pent up energy that was associated with each of them. Your reality will start changing too. I can’t tell you the number of people who overlook this crucial step of managing their feelings during the remaining 15 hours of  their daily lives, while focusing all their effort on what happens during the 10 - 15 minutes they spend visualizing or stating their intentions. Compared with the amount of time  you spend feeling what you usually feel during the day, that 10 - 15 minutes is very little! Therefore, if you want the 10 - 15 minutes of  quiet, inward activity to make a difference,  you must actively manage your feelings during the remaining 15 hours or so of your  waking moments.

Here are two common questions I receive from this. First, how does the simple process of recognising a negative thought, and then replacing it with a slightly better one, and another slightly better one… until you feel good help in the manifestation process? It makes all the difference. If you do it consistently and train yourself to do it all day, every day, things will start happening like magic for you. You’ll get to that magical state  where doors start opening for you, and inspired manifestations start occurring for you  without any “physical” action necessary.  When you can let your worry thoughts go and feel good most of the time, you will be engaged in one long, continuous visualization session throughout the day. Your manifestation effectiveness will be increased many times, because you’ll now be in a receptive state where miracles can happen for  you.

Reading about this magical state is definitely no substitute for you to experience it  yourself. But I would like to give you a taste of what it feels like. First of all, if you are consistent in applying the process taught above, and if you deliberately “feel better thoughts” whenever negative ones arise…  you’ll soon find that the negative ones lose their emotional charge. Because you’ll be vi brating at such higher energetic levels, those lower level thoughts of fear and worry have no way of reaching you. You’ll not be able to “attract” those thoughts as easily into your thinking. They’ll simply fade away and become a thing of the past. I hardly worry  nowadays. It is just a natural state of being for me today to feel good all the time, to feel at ease all the time, and to feel a deep sense of inner peace and connection with the Uni verse. Yet a few years ago I was a chronic  worrier! I worried about everyone and

everything! I worried about finances, about my future, about how I would be perceived  by others. Most destructively, I believed in those worrisome thoughts! I allowed myself  to go down that line of thinking… with similar unwanted results in my life. The results I observed then perpetuated more of the same thinking. That’s why I say it takes some consistency  and persistence in the beginning. After you  break through that unseen barrier, when the majority of your thoughts are in the desired direction, then things get easier for you. Remember that the tipping point is when the majority (more than 50%) of your thoughts are in the direction that you want. That’s the time you start moving in the desired direction. Most people who dismiss these techniques as “too simplistic” are always looking for “big” changes. They are always looking for that one simple step, or one big / new 

thing which they can do that will put their request out to the Universe forever, such that they don’t ever have to worry about it again. But these are the same people who keep worrying about whether they are doing the right thing, or why their desires have not been manifested yet for most of their waking moments! Remember that the key is what you do and how you feel during the majority of   your waking hours.

Living

From

Inspiration & Receiving Your Good I have mentioned in my other books that  you do not need to have a very “strong” intention, but you do need to have clear intentions. If you stated your intention just once, and never worried about it ever again, things  will still happen very quickly for you. The  wait becomes optional, and the circumstances under which things come into your life can only be described as miraculous, or even magical. There is nothing impossible for the Universe. As I recount in my book  “The Magic Feeling”, the Universe knows of  no physical time or space limitations, and al ways knows the perfect way to deliver your desires to you.

Therefore, what you do in those 10 - 15 minutes of visualization or meditation is the “asking”. And what you do in the remaining 15 hours of your waking life is the “receiving”. You can only receive what is in line with your highest desires if you are not clouded with contradictory, worrying thoughts. The way to feel good most of the time is to learn how to deal with negative thoughts and feelings as they occur. Recognize that you have the power, ability and choice to substitute a negative thought for a  better-feeling one. Keep substituting one thought for another until you reach that awesome good-feeling place! If you do so consistently, you put yourself in a state  where manifestations occur very easily for  you. The strangest thing (and strongest confirmation) about being in this state is that

 you don’t even care whether your physical manifestations occur! You’re just feeling good, going about your day, knowing that  you are able to bridge the gaps of time and space and access the “feelings” associated  with what you want at will. You feel an inexplicable amount of energy and inspiration.  You look at everything and feel one with it.  You accept everything and want to change nothing. Everything is perfect, just the way it is. You feel inspired to do certain things, go to certain places, or connect with certain people. Follow those impulses. Everything arises of its own accord, as if there is a Universal force coordinating everything. And indeed there is. There is no strain involved. Remember the words I received while I was in meditation? “Relax… not strain”. There is no strain involved in all of life. How can we get to and live from this state of inspiration? First, know that you can get

there if you are willing to give up your negative, worrying fear thoughts. Those thoughts seemed normal to you in the past, but now  they no longer serve your highest good. So make a consistent effort to replace one negative, worrying thought as it arises with a  better feeling one, and another one… until those negative thoughts no longer have any  “pull” on you. Hold intentions of “love” or abundance” as often as possible, and immerse yourself in the feelings of it for longer and longer periods each day. You can do this anywhere, while you’re at work, working at the computer or standing in line at the store.  As you play with this often, you bridge the gap and blur the lines between your current reality and where you want to be.  As I close this book, take this once again as an invitation to play in the great Universe of life. And hold these truths close to your

heart, for only you can prove them to  yourself!

Chapter 9 - Rules Book for Playing in Time and Space! Rules For Playing In Time & Space • The period of time between the setting of an intention and the manifestation of your desires exists for your benefit. This wait time is to allow you to clarify your intentions, and to focus your energies on “creation” instead of “undoing”  your unwanted creations. • This period of time is in direct proportion to the amount of resistant thoughts (negative worries, fear thoughts, doubts) that you hold. The more contradictory thoughts you have, the longer the waiting takes.

• The wait time separating you from  your manifestations is strictly optional, depending on your beliefs about the creative process and what you are creating. • Time is a perceptual illusion. We can slow it down, or speed it up at will. • One of the fastest way to see through the illusion of time is to resist the urge to look at your watch unnecessarily, and to tell yourself the following: “I am where time comes from. Time is an illusion and I can always stretch and make more of it.” • Try the above when you are running late. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by   what happens and your newfound sense of freedom when you are freed from the crutches of time.

• Just like time, space is an illusion. There is no “out there”. Everything is HERE and NOW. • When you meditate, quiet yourself  and drop yourself into the HERE and NOW. Remind yourself that there is only  HERE and NOW, and that there is notime and no-space. • When you visualize, you are  bridging the time and space separating  you from the manifested reality. You  bridge this gap by accessing the exact same feelings associated with your manifestation, and bringing those feelings into the HERE and NOW. • What you do / think / feel for the majority of your waking hours is just as important as what you do during your

moments of visualization or intentionsetting. • One of the most effective ways to let go of a lifetime of negative conditioning is to deal with each negative thought as it arises. Substitute one thought for a  better-feeling (more positive one) until the old, worrisome thoughts no longer hold any emotional charge over you. • This process above will be difficult at first, because you are using your creative mental faculties in an entirely new   way. You’ll also have many negative thoughts to deal with. However, if you stick with the process for a few weeks, the amount of worrying / contradictory  thoughts you have to deal with will be significantly reduced. Soon, they’ll be a thing of the past and in their place, will  be a deep feeling of profound peace.
