I am new here, but not to Abraham and just want to tell you all that you are FABULOUS! I am so delighted to have found such an enlightened group and enjoy reading your many enlightened posts. I began studying The Seth Material years ago, then found my way to Lynn Grabhorn's, Excuse Me Your Life Is Waiting. But it wasn't until I picked up a copy of Ask and it is Given (at Wal-Mart of all places!) that everything started to click for me!
I do have a question about manifesting things and wonder if anybody else has experienced this. I have no problem instantly manifesting silly things -- often in a matter of hours -- like televisions, washers, dryers, Pyrex dishes galore, computers and most any other item that I would like, but not necessarily love. It seems all I have to do is think of it, casually mention it like, "I'd really like one of those giant flat screen TVs," and POOF! somebody gives me one. But when it comes to the things I really, really want, it either takes ages or doesn't come at all. I suspect it is because I want it so much I am somehow focussed on the lack of it, but I'm not sure. Has anybody else experienced this?
Anyway, thank you so much to all of you for sharing your insight and wisdom on these pages. You are all very much appreciated! Billy

Welcome to the forum Billy!
I think you've answered your own question beautifully! But I'm moving your post to the Abraham and You forum where I'm sure you'll get even more insight from the wonderful forum members!

Our power in desire is often offset by our perspective of lack.
Little things are usually easier to manifest because we have often experienced the process of manifesting them. Bigger desires are often met with resistant thoughts simply because we are often venturing into new ground in relationship to our existing experience. This is where appreciation for what we have already manifested in regard to this new subjrct is helpful. Appreciating buttons helps castles manifest.
Cheers

Hi there,
I have so had the same thoughts about manifesting love life stuff! I found some relief in just thinking well its easy to do this and I don't have to do it all today and just trying to focus on what I want and knowing that it will come in the same way as everything comes. Thanks so much for posting this as it helps me to focus on the issue and what I want to happen.

Hi Billy
I had an a-ha moment about this a while back, which may be relevant.
The BIG things for me, at that time, were money and a slim body. I had a fairly clear idea about why I wanted these things and what it would feel like to have them. My sudden insight was that I realised I had a fear of not ever getting them. What if I never figure this out? I will always be worried about money and always be fat. Oh that felt bad!
But ah, I reasoned, hang on a bit, this Abraham stuff is about feeling good. And feeling good doesn't have to depend on outside circumstances does it? That's the whole point. And I reckoned I was getting pretty good at feeling good by choice. So, does that mean never getting what I wanted didn't have to mean being unhappy?
I mean here I am, I thought, and right now I don't have these things that I want, but I feel happy. Tomorrow I can not have what I want and feel happy. So at what point does not getting those things that matter, mean I decide to get unhappy about it?
In that moment I let go of the fear of never getting what I want.
Something seemed to wash through my body - a relief washing away the tension - and I knew I had let go of what was holding me away from what I want!
I hope this makes sense. It's made a real difference to me since that moment.
Love, Sally

Sally,
I appreciate your words and your post. Just last night I was thinking about a situation I want to happen and wondering why I am always seeing it as NOT happening. Then it hit me that I was afraid to imagine it happening the way I wanted it to because if it didn't, I would be disappointed! DUH! So there I was so afraid I'd be disappointed that I was creating it. I will definitely follow your advice and LET GO THE FEAR!
Much love & appreciation,
Billy
