'manifesting" - am i doing it wrong?

Hi Radharani,
Manifesting is done from silence. If you can feel the energy form around the intent, then just continue to “watch it” for a little while. That will give it a small push.
Visualization technichiques are products of the mind. The more mind activity, the harder it is to “stay in” silence. Mind/ego do not have the ability to manifest in silence.
Love.

Yes, I have never manifested from silence as a goal. Although I practice Samyama, each sutra is just universal. If there is something occurring then it is, it’s not noticeable externally.

Oh, you are going to love this! God is so good. Yesterday while walking over to the house to show it to a prospective renter, I was talking to the Lord about this whole “manifesting” business: “Screw it, You know I only want You anyway. I’m not going to waste my energy trying to make sh*t happen anymore, You can do whatever You want.” The renter and her daughter LOVED the house so much, they want to rent it for 6 months and then BUY it! (She has a house that is currently being sold and then she will have the money to buy my house.) The daughter, although young, is quite an accomplished horse rider and has competed in high jumping and dressage. She immediately hit it off with my horse Angel and is going to be helping me give her attention, groom her, ride her, etc. When I move to the beach she can take care of Angel for me so I won’t have to sell her! So if all goes as planned we should be able to get the new home/yoga studio at the beach by Christmas. I will be able to keep the part of the land that has Angel’s barn, my father’s workshop and RV, and the yoga studio. This has turned out SOOO much better than I could have imagined!
Dear Karl, Thank you so much for the additional information about NLP. That’s pretty much what I thought. Yes, I had the opportunity to pay to learn NLP to get a “life coach” certificate but I decided against it. Frankly it sounds like way too much work. I’ve decided to just behave in a dharmically correct way, one day at a time, taking care of things on a practical level as necessary, and otherwise just go with the flow. The universe has been running itself for a very long time without my help. But I will continue to offer up stuff in samyama as it comes up.
Dear Jeff, thanks for the additional clarification about samyama! Will keep it in mind.
Love you guys so much!!!

Yes, NLP was the first foray into the murky world that lies at the side of life. AYP is more direct and bypasses all that " success" stuff that isn’t necessary. You surrendered that’s the path. Surrender completely, know that you have no control and let go of it. Little rewards help to re-enforce that you are going with the flow and not trying to keep steering.
Expect a succession of bumps when you forget to relinquish it.
Well done on the house and every success with your new studio.

Thanks for all your feedback. I totally agree with you. Surrender just feels right; ecstatic, actually. And if I’m going to be thinking anything, I’d rather be thinking “Krishna, Krishna, Krishna” or “Love, love, love” as opposed to cluttering up my mind with planning, visualizing, or trying to manipulate reality. Love.

Hi,
I’m not going to talk much about manifesting objects. Decades ago ‘I thought I’ was manifesting objects, instantaneously and sometimes the ‘stuff’ took a week or so to arrive. It turns out that now it is known here that it was always just consciousness itself at play. Yes it comes from a completely neutral emotional place with a mind picture, kind of like the emotions are the motor and the mind makes the mold. It is a knowing in present moment that it is already done. Similar to Richard Bach’s book “Illusions - The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah”, but he doesn’t speak about the emotions.
Do we desire REALITY or to get caught up in loads more lifetimes of suffering. Tons of stories out there like Nisargadatta and Papaji laughing at the Siddhi Yogis that visited them.
Let what comes come, then it goes. Keep your earnestness with the priority of Self recognizing Self.
Money is neutral like an elemental, it is just energy. I used to make a point of pushing it away - and then it would come barreling at me = just energy. I don’t have hardly any now and i don’t give a hoot. The universe takes care, like the song goes “You don’t always get what you want, but you always get what you need”. Things always are working for the best, sometimes we need certain experiences that at the time ‘seem’ bad. Paradhba Karma.
Here is an amazing woman Inelia Benz who claims that this is her first incarnation, that she came directly from source to help raise the vibrations of this planet. Quite fascinating stories she tells in videos with Bill Ryan. Here is a link to her article about money;

Dear BenQuiet,
Thanks for sharing that. I agree with you and that’s why I have decided to completely give up on the “manifesting” thing (other than continuing to offer up things in samyama when they come up).
Re: the Benz article about money, I have to admit the exercise she proposes kind of creeps me out. I don’t know if I will try it. For one thing, she says Money is an elemental and to “invite Money into your energy field.” As I recall from working with elementals many years ago when I was into White Magick/Golden Dawn, I did not “invite” them into my personal space. We interacted with appropriate boundaries. Her method sounds a little TOO chummy for me. Plus it would seem to involve attachment or focus that might not be advisable. I don’t know. Have you tried this? Has anybody else here tried this and what do you think? thanks.
