I have been thinking a lot about free will lately. That term has always confused me in the way it is used in theology but I think I am finally making sense of the term with my investigation of the ‘law of attraction’ and manifesting.
Let’s review; we are spiritual beings who are basically made of energy. If you look at the smallest physical particle of matter then look deeper past the atom past the electron you will finally get to pure energy and that is what everything is including you and me.
Since the only thing that truly exist is energy what are our thoughts? Energy of course.
Our thoughts go out and solidify into substance. The more energy (passion, effort or even continual thought) you put into something the faster it will solidify and materialize.
How does this relate to free will? You are free to think what you want, free to experience the emotions you want. You are free to send out your thoughts and create whatever you wish. This free will perpetuates itself because what you think the most about will draw those experiences and things to you to reinforce those thoughts. So you create your life through your thoughts and your free will. God wants you to use your free will otherwise God would not have given it to you.
This is a case of be careful what you wish for (or think about). When you dwell on the negative in your life you create more of it.
This is where free will gets sticky and the theological idea of “Your will not mine” comes into play. I firmly believe that God wants us to live a passionate life, one that is true to who we really are. If we are in alignment with who we truly are, then we are in alignment with God’s will. We often get sidetracked about who we are. We often insist that we are helpless, or a victim, or miserable because we have bought into what someone in the past told us or you have let a past experience tell you that is who you are now. No that was who you were then. Each moment is a different choice and you get to choose.
I have a stack of books by my bed that I am reading on. Some nights I feel like something fun and light, other times I want something motivating, and sometimes I want to read cutting edge information. Often the pile of books will contain many repeats, these are books that I have read before but in my Sunday Book reviews I remember how much I liked the book and I will start reading it again.
I have been rereading Norman Vincent Peale’s book You Can If You Think You Can.
Using ‘Creative Anticipation’ is a wonderful method for manifesting. It was one that I had forgotten about. To practice this, you anticipate receiving what you want then you start thinking of all the ways it could possibly come to you. Be outlandish if you want. Think of everything. Your thoughts will be so concentrated on receiving and how it will be brought to you that you will not have any room to consider whether it will happen. This is not where you try to figure out how you will accomplish the task. No, this is opening yourself up to receiving what the Universe will bring you.
Give it a try and let me know of the results.
Get Congruent and Manifest Your Dreams

July 29th, 2010 >> EFT, Energy, Manifesting, Meridian Tapping, Physical/Material, Vibration
The idea of resonance and natural frequency has popped up in my awareness several times in the last few months. What do I mean by resonance?
Everything is made of energy and so has a vibration. This vibration is at a frequency that is natural to that particular item. Think of a tuning fork that when you hit it you can hear the frequency it produces. Different size tuning forks will produce a different sound. The tuning fork resonates at a frequency you can hear.
Another idea that keeps popping up that is related is congruence and natural frequency. Tesla did some experimenting with this. He was under the impression that if you could surround a person or object with the frequency of a particular place such as a clearing in the woods you could get that object to be in congruence with that clearing and that would cause the object to be transported to that place; Interesting idea.
Is this what is happening with manifesting? You need to be congruent with what you are trying to manifest. You need to be on the same resonance of what you want and then it will materialize. Think of those tuning forks again. If you have two forks that are tuned to the same vibration, when you hit one and get it going all you have to do is hold up the other and it will start vibrating at that same frequency, they are in congruence with each other.
But how do you get congruent with what you want? For one thing you have to believe it is yours. Have you ever had experiences like I have where there was a prize drawing and before they call the name you knew it was yours. That is the kind of belief you have to have. You have to know it is yours. Yes, but – that is the problem. All the ‘Yes, but’ statements that keep you from being congruent with what you want.
This is where Meridian Tapping or EFT can help out. As my husband is so fond of saying, “Tap it out”. Getting rid of all those statements can clear the field to allow you to be congruent with what you want. When you are congruent you can resonate at the same frequency of what you want and then you obtain it.

Worry is Like Constipation
Posted by: Ann
July 26th, 2010 >> Energy, God, Manifesting, Physical/Material
Did you know that the word “worry” is derived from an old Anglo-Saxon word which meant to strangle or to choke? This is very appropriate as when you worry you are choking the life out of your world!
Worry prevents the life energy from flowing. Worry literally chokes the flow of energy. As Einstein pointed out everything is made of energy. In fact energy is flowing all around us connecting each and every thing in the universe. This energy is what sustains all things. You may think of this energy as God or Universal Power but whatever you choose to call it the main idea is that it is energy. When you worry, you create a necking down of this energy. You are so focused on your little world of problems that you do not see the larger world. It is when you see the larger picture you will feel gratitude; you will be uplifted out of your problem mindset.
Worry prevents the energy that can bring solutions from flowing to you. Worry is like constipation; only a little gets through and the backlog of the worry slowly poisons your system. Only when the worry is released does it allow the energy to flow providing fresh ideas and options that you could not see before.
Manifestation also requires the energy to flow. I had a dream recently where I effortlessly started using telekinesis to bring objects to me. It was as if the objects flowed to me. In the dream, when I tried to force the object to me, it did not work, I had to let it ride the energy flow, I could not force it by the power of the mind. I think this dream was about manifesting. You have to let it flow to you and it can not flow if you have choked the flow off with worry.
How do you prevent worry? Check back tomorrow.
I am a member of a group called “Mindful Happiness”. We meet in Morgan’s Point Resort City every Wednesday evening. It is a great group. We talk about the Law of Attraction, Manifesting, Spirituality, all types of interesting topics. Last week we decided to try group manifesting over the next six months and the topic chosen was weight reduction. (I purposefully did not use the term weight loss because when you use the term loss your mind goes into panic that it lost something and starts looking for it and before long you weigh more than you started with.)
At our meeting tomorrow we will look at different techniques to help with this manifestation. Maybe I will invite everyone to come to my house just down the street. I have a mirror in my bathroom that makes you look thinner. I love that mirror and will miss it when we redo the bathroom (I am manifesting that right now). Some people just can’t see themselves thinner and this mirror can help them visualize. One of the keys to manifesting is to visualize exactly what you want.
We will also discuss what prevents us from believing we can weigh less and ways to overcome that limiting belief system.
We do have one person in the group that seems to manifest easily. I can hardly believe all that he has manifesting in the last two years! He will probably come in the following week 50 pounds lighter.
If you live in the Temple, Belton, Killeen area check us out on Yahoo groups and come to a meeting. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mindful-Happiness/
The Spirit Creates Our Lives
Posted by: Ann
July 10th, 2010 >> Change, Energy, Life, Manifesting, Physical/Material, Relationship, Spirituality
I feel I need constant reassurance that God is there and cares about what is going on down here on the material plane. Sometimes I think God is only concerned with the Spiritual.
But no, the spiritual and the material are both tied together. The spiritual is important because it continues after the material is gone, after the physical is gone, after the relationships are gone. All these; physical (health), relationships, and material (wealth), are reflections of the spiritual or the ongoing soul.
Are they different aspects of the soul?
It is like a bud that cannot contain itself any longer and it burst out into a flower; that is what the spirit is doing. It bursts out into something you can sense better, something physical be it a relationship, wealth or health. Sometimes the spirit is troubled or not on the right path. I hate using the word ‘right’ as there is no true wrong or right path, it is more of not being true to whom you are (a child of God) and things we don’t like crop up in our lives. This is a form of manifesting.
The spirit is an energetic force, a vibration. This force creates feelings and emotions. These feelings can have a direct impact on our health. Many illnesses have been linked to negative emotions.
Our relationships are definitely linked to our emotions. Try to have a close relationship without any emotions! It won’t happen. You may have positive or negative emotions but you will have emotions.
For the physical, the new rage is the law of attraction and that involves feelings. You attract more of what you are feeling into your life. If you are feeling hopeful and optimistic more comes to you to give you hope and optimism. If you are feeling worried and scared more comes to you to emphasize those feeling.
We are constantly evolving personally and as a species. It can’t be helped. We are all generating things on this earth, that is why nothing ever stays the same but all is constantly changing.
Dark Energy and Manifesting Thoughts
Posted by: Ann
June 29th, 2010 >> God, Manifesting, Physical/Material
I have been reading Wallace D. Wattles book “The Science of Getting Rich”. This is the same book that Rhonda Byrne’s daughter gave her to read that lead to her producing “The Secret” movie (you can download an e-copy of Wattles’ book there). There are some interesting correlations between what this 1910 publication says and modern discoveries.
A key idea that is often quoted in the book is “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imagined by the thought. Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.” This correlates with some astronomical discoveries made in the last 10 years or so; the existence of dark energy and dark matter.
Scientists believe that dark energy exists because of its effect on bodies that are visible; like the belief in subatomic particles because of how particles act and react under certain conditions. Scientist believe that the dark energy condenses into dark matter. It is the dark matter that condenses further into the physical bodies that we see in space. It is said that only about 5% of the energy available has actually created all the physical things we can see. This includes all the galaxies, all the solar systems, all the planets and everything on each planet such as the chair you are sitting in and yes even your body. That leaves a lot of energy floating around out there.
How do these ‘things’ get created? I believe mainly through the mind of God. The first thoughts were God’s and since we have been created in the image of God, I believe that means we are creators also. Often our creating has taken a more tangible form such as taking hammer and nail to cut-up trees. But even that has to start with an idea.
Could we be more powerful than we give ourselves credit for?
The Holographic Universe
This is an intriguing book with references and explanations of a lot of research that has been conducted world wide. I was familiar with some of the researchers like Fred Alan Wolfe but this was my first introduction to most of them.
Many examples are given from various experiences of different people including the author. One such experience relayed involved a hypnotist who was hired to entertain a group of friends at Mr. Talbot’s father’s house, the author was in attendance. One guest seemed to be susceptible to hypnotic suggestion. Tom had never been hypnotized before but proved to be a very good subject. The hypnotist put him in a deep trance and performed the usual tricks that a stage hypnotist does. One trick was convincing Tom that there was a giraffe in the room at which Tom responded by gapeing in wonder. The hypnotist told Tom a potato was an apple and Tom ate it with gusto. But the real kicker came when Tom was told that his teenage daughter would be completely invisible to him. Tom’s daughter, Laura, was positioned in front of Tom and then Tom was awakened and asked if he could see her. Laura was giggling but Tom looked right through her. “No” he couldn’t see her. The hypnotist went behind Laura so that he was hidden from Tom’s normal view and took an object from his pocket. Tom could not have seen what the hypnotist had done and the hypnotist pressed the object against Laura’s back. He asked Tom to identify the object. Tom said it was a watch. Then the hypnotist asked Tom if he could read the inscription. Tom squinted and read out the name of the watches owner (someone that none of them knew) and the inscription! The hypnotist then showed the watch to the others in the room and everything was correct. Later Tom said that all he had seen was the hypnotist standing and holding the watch in the palm of his hand.
Many more experiences from other people are also given with the explanation of how a holographic universe could account for that.
What tops this for me is that two weeks after reading this book an article came out in our little sleepy town, conservative newspaper with the title “Are We Holograms?”. Makes you think.
How Would You Handle Manifesting
Posted by: Ann
June 26th, 2010 >> Change, Manifesting, Physical/Material
If you could manifest anything, would you? I have heard of some ‘masters’ in India who can create out of thin air. The things they create can be quite valuable, gold items, exotic gems etc and all of these they give away. Yes some of the items created have been tested and found to be of the highest quality.
I don’t believe any of these people live a life of opulence. Even though they can create what ever they want they don’t create much of anything for themselves. That in itself seems to give them less credence in our materialistic world. I can hear it now “If they are so great and can create what ever they want, why don’t they live in a palace?”
Think about it a little. If you could create what ever you wanted, when ever you wanted, would you be in any hurry about creating any more than you really need. I don’t think I would. The pressure would be off. I would know I could have food, housing, clothing anything I needed whenever I wanted it so I would have no need to create it right now. I would have more fun creating ‘trinkets’ for others and giving them away, just like these people do.
There is so much material available concerning manifesting and the law of attraction. Much of the material is being rediscovered from published works in the early 1900’s. It does seem that what the masses concentrate on comes about. This makes me wonder if more and more people will be able to manifest what they want at will. Maybe this is the great change that the December 2012 date is pointing toward. It is interesting to contemplate. The whole dynamics of society would change.
Ask and It Is Given
Posted by: Ann
June 20th, 2010 >> Books, Energy, Life, Manifesting, Physical/Material
One of the original speakers on “The Secret” was Esther Hicks. We were so impressed by what she said that we bought several of her books one of which is Ask & It Is Given.
This book provides a way of increasing your vibrational frequency by improving your emotional outlook. There is a nifty scale about half way in the book that starts at the lowest emotion of “Fear/Grief/Depression/Dispair/Powerlessness” and moves up the scale through Anger and Worry through Frustration and Pessimism then into what we judge as the more positive emotions such as Contentment, Optimism, Enthusiasm and at the top is “Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation”. What makes this book such a keeper are the useful suggested exercises to help you move up the scale to a higher vibration.
Most of us lump all negative emotions into one group as being bad. But there are degrees. For example, the year I was depressed, I lost the depression when I became angry. Anger is higher up the scale from depression (which is at the very bottom) so anger was an improvement. Our society tends to view anger as one of the worst emotions, but it is not at the bottom. Anger can lead to much needed social change. Anger can cause a person to find a better way. But anger is still one of the lower vibrations and it is best to work your way up the scale from that.
Paul was so impressed with the suggested processes that he wrote them down on index cards and carried them around for a long time.
The purpose of the book is to get you to a place where you feel the Life Force in you and around you. It is the Joy you feel in life. A quote I like from the book is “Success is about a happy life, and a happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people do not allow the happy moments because they are so busy trying to get a happy life.” So true. Our emotions are there as a barometer to tell you how far away from your true self you are. When you are feeling bad you are not in your true power. As the book says “Life is supposed to be fun–It is Supposed to feel good!”
