“Ask and ye shall receive.” It’s a true enough statement, that’s for sure. But in terms of helping you to actualize the kind of life you desire, it may be a bit misleading, or at the very least incomplete.
For it implies that manifesting your desires is a two-part process when, in practical terms, it may be better understood as process in three steps:
* You ask – usually without even asking as the very acting of wanting something is received by the all-powerful creative source as a request or, maybe more aptly put, an order;
* Your “wish” is granted – you need to do nothing for this happen as it’s an automatic and instantaneous result of step 1;
* You either allow it or deny it – like a gift, you either accept it or refuse it.
The reason, then, for the appearance of so many of our desires NOT being granted is our own resistance to having what we asked for.
If you have ever desired something and then sometime later started noticing the failure of that desire to be fulfilled, you are actually pushing the fulfillment of that desire out of your present reality.
Observing, for example, that a lack of resources for the attainment of your desire creates that lack – not the other way around. Not only do you perpetuate the absence or lack by observing it, but you cause it.
For that which you desire is already yours, the instant you want it. But your participation in receiving it does not stop there. To the contrary, by fixating on a desire already transmitted, a want already wanted, you draw yourself continually back to the awareness of your current state of NOT HAVING it.
You do yourself the same disservice by being unhappy about where you currently are and hinging your happiness on the arrival of your desire, by being impatient with the “wait” for it to come, by being jealous of someone else who already has what you want.
Instead what you must do is trust that your request/wish/order has been received and approved and now your only job is to prepare yourself to receive it. How is this done, exactly? By getting your whole being in agreement, into vibrational alignment, with the attainment of that desire.
Imagine you’ve ordered a very expensive item from an importer. Once the order is complete, all you have to do is wait for it to arrive, right? But what if you’ve given the store the wrong shipping address?
Or what if you’ve given the right one, but aren’t home when the delivery is scheduled to arrive, and you haven’t made any allowances for the receipt of that package; you haven’t asked a friend to wait at your home to accept the package for you; you haven’t given the delivery person alternate delivery instructions or a way to contact you.
Maybe you moved, and in all the commotion forgot the order was even coming. Or maybe you flat-out decided you changed your mind and didn’t want it anymore, refusing the package upon delivery.
None of these instances change the fact that what you asked for was given; they only change your ability to receive that which you asked for. It’s the same with the total manifestation of your every desire.
To fulfill this all-too-often forgotten final step in the attainment of all that you desire, simply allow yourself to bask in eager anticipation of what it feels like to know that they’ve already been granted.
Ask and it shall be given; experience the pleasure of having that which you’ve asked for, and ye shall receive.
Welcome back!
