We’ve been talking about blocks to manifestation. About how some of them are sent to test our resolve, while some of them are indications that we’re on the wrong path.
One of the reasons we may find manifestation blocks is because we’re trying to manifest one thing when we really want/ need another.
Like the guy who tries to manifest a sports car when what he really wants is to feel young and desirable.
Or the woman who tries to manifest a romantic partner when what she really wants is to feel good about herself – a feeling that she believes external validation will give her.
When this happens, often manifestation will grind to a halt;
Or worse, the person will manifest what he asked for only to find that it makes him unhappy(the insurance on the sports car and the high maintenance spouse being two examples..).
So how do we overcome this kind of block?
We ask ourself the magic question –
“Why do I want this?”
( My husband says that “Why” is my favorite word :-)…..)
Why does one want to manifest a lottery win?
Because you’d like to have a lot of money.
Why do you want that?
Because enough money would let you quit your job and spend more time doing the things you love.
Why do you want that?
Because you love doing those things but don’t have enough time to do them right now.
So, at that point, a lottery win is nice, and money would be welcome, but what you really need to be focusing on is manifesting the freedom, time and energy to do the things you love.
And a lottery win is only one possible way this could happen…
See how that works?
Many times, you’ll find that the “Why” boils down to a feeling or state of being, such as status, self-esteem, freedom or safety.
Not always though. The guy who’s trying to manifest a car may really need it ( although what he needs may be reliable transformation, as opposed to a specific SUV).
They say that when you’re climbing the ladder of success, it’s important to be sure that your ladder is leaning against the right wall. In manifestation, lean that ladder to the proper side, and watch this kind of obstacle melt away…
We’ll be looking at other blocks on the road ahead…
