I hear there are no limitations. That whatever I can imagine and whatever desire the universe inspires in me, it can fulfill. Well I can imagine and I desire to turn back time to when I was still a teenager. A few years ago I would cry to sleep every night begging to wake up in the past. I would only manage to fall asleep because at some point I soothed myself with the thought that things were ok and that God would transport me back in time and I would not have to wake up in this life another day. I would also visualize myself back in the past with intensity for long periods of time, not as an "exercise to manifest", just because it was such an intense desire, it was like visualizing a sexual fantasy just for the thrill of it. I only managed to let go of that when I started to explore the idea that if God could turn back time for me, surely he could fix my life without having to turn back time. I started to dream a better future; but that better future remained a dream. These days I have trouble dreaming a better future again because I feel burdened by my life history and I am attracted again to the thought of turning back time. A few years ago I got into my mind that I wanted to be a model. I don't mean I wanted to check this off a list of things to do, I mean I wanted to be a model within the context of what the word meant in my mind. The simplest way to describe that context is that I wanted to be a top model. When I focused on the idea it made me feel that God loved me and that things were alright, it made me feel that life was good and that focus would wash away the negative feelings I had. There is more to my experiences than that, but I don't want to write an autobiography, I'm just trying to illustrate what I mean. I am negative here because I feel the universe has given me desires, very, very, VERY strong desires, that it isn't willing to fulfill. I feel toyed with. When I post here, I am basically asking God to sooth my fear that he is not listening to me or that he doesn't care. I'm trying to cope with the panic of feeling like I am just crazy and alone, that I am just a pathetic loser with delusional dreams that are not meant for me, that needs to learn to accept his place in life as a pathetic loser. I am trying so hard to find a bright side to things and not sink in despair. Are my desires simply delusional? How do you separate a desire worth having from a desire that will just bring you pain because it will never be fulfilled?

Flowsurfer , go here http://www.psitek.net/index2.html find "Your Invisible Power" , take it all onboard, especially Chapter 2 and The Great Architect , yes Our Ever Present Unlimited Supply is yours for whatever you desire and the only thing thats stops it from coming is yourself, as you'll have explained to you in this book I know you like Neville's teachings , this lady's style is similar though doesn't quote bible only indirectly from her teacher Troward . I've been reading LOA for many many years and never come across the little gems hidden in this book , enjoy your discovery ♥♥♥ PS: Want to take this opportunity to again offer a Big Thank You to Simon for making these resources at above link freely available to us ♥♥♥ 1
Thank you @flowsurfer , for giving me the opportunity to point more people towards Genevieve's classic , am sure she would never have dreamt her work would be floating through cyberspace :-)

@Starlight - "Invisible Power" is an awesome book. I keep it on my nightstand. Highly recommended indeed!

It most definately is :-) Yesterday when reading the Question about the Illuminati , @Wade , mentioned Your Wish is Your Command and Kevin Trudeau , being curious I looked up initially the book but it led me to this website where I ended up downloading 12 CD's , I became so engrossed in Kevins information that I spent the next six hours listening and was so impressed , he explains about the elite rich , their thinking , also backs up Genevieve and many other eye openers....

and dear @flowsurfer , it may also help you in your understanding of the element of rich people who are not so nice, Kevin speaks of these .
My recommendation well worth the time and a bonus ,it's all free !
Tip : make sure you have pen and paper handy , I know you'll want to http://www.spiritcentrum.com/Your-Wish-Is-Your-Command-Introduction-CD-Kevin-Trudeau.html You'll see the link on the right to download CD's, ask me if you get stuck ;-)
(18 Mar '13, 20:01)
Starlight
@Starlight I was a little lost at first because of how the download page is structured (and all the german) but I managed to find the files. I'll be listening. One thing that has made things difficult is that I didn't want to simply make money but I felt I needed money to support me in going for what I want, which created a negative feedback loop that then got tangled up in a web of negative emotions and beliefs. I'm going to make things easier by just focusing on money.
(19 Mar '13, 18:25)

@Starlight I have barely started the lectures but I must say I am finding them very interesting and they are definitely lifting my mood. He has a very different feel to him than some new agers and it also feels more grounded than Neville. Hope it stays as good!

I'm liking the presentation and I intend to get through them before I sleep. I'm finishing disk 6 and having a little trouble with the belief thing because I have noticed this phenomenon of a negative feedback loop of contracting (not contradicting) belief resulting from the filtering process, to the point where nothing really remains on the list, certainly nothing with high desire energy. It's a little disturbing and I'm not sure how to deal with it, other than punching through doubt.
(20 Mar '13, 03:15)

Thats ok , Kevin explains how to move through it :-)
(20 Mar '13, 04:41)

@Starlight I started having serious trouble hearing what he was saying (and I'm not going to get into why) at discs 7-8. Suffice to say that he is basically saying that the life philosophy of George W. Bush and of the Skull and Bones is 100% exactly the same as that of Abraham-Hicks. I'm getting a lot of resistance in me to what he is presenting, particularly the more "practical" advice (aspartame blocks your capacity to send vibrations?). I don't want to just stop though, so I'll finish day 2.
(20 Mar '13, 19:35)
flowsurfer
Hang in there @flowsurfer ,and remember about your Teach-Ability Index , I've had to remind myself a couple of times to just let go and be open , even if I "think" know what he's saying , am adopting a "fresh mind " to things :-) Interesting about trouble hearing and thats ok, don't need to know whys and wherefores, I personally had to do a few adjustments to the media player to get the sound clarity I wanted ;-)
(20 Mar '13, 20:39)
Starlight
@Starlight Did you adjust the media player or the media receiver?
(20 Mar '13, 20:44)
flowsurfer
@flowsurfer in my VLC media player I went into extended settings and on Graphic equaliser changed to "Live" .I'm not that savvy when it come to sound but my son showed me that the other day . Prior I had been listening with headphones on comp . I've transfered all the disks/mp3's onto my iPhone now so I can listen whist driving and the sound quality is really good on it :-) Hope this helps
(20 Mar '13, 20:55)
Starlight
@Starlight LOL The comment I made was assuming that you meant you had to make adjustments to yourself (your way of thinking) in order to hear (understand, take seriously, believe) what he was saying with clarity. I didn't think you had actual sound problems, YOU are the media receiver. I hear him just fine.
(20 Mar '13, 21:13)

@Starlight Wow, great job! You have caught my pass and you are running with the ball! I really need to get back to mine, thanks for the reminder... :-)

@flowsurfer , giggling here , I get what he's saying , had to, as I said adjust my teachability a couple of times. Kevin Quote " I get it , I get it " Sorry I misunderstood you , I think it's the nature of this medium that can lead to this at times , without all the subtle nuances of face to face .I love being a Thought Radio , don't you ;-)

@Wade, I was wondering , do you know of a free prog I could download that would Transcribe Kevins CD's so I could print them off , I know he has said to repeatedly listen and I intend to do this, but I also like hard copies and the ability to be able to highlight passages or certain words, and obviously tis easier to flick through some pages than try and remember which disk and at what time frame they were on of a disk out of 12 .If you can help Awesome ,if not all good, Universe will :-)

@Starlight actually Dollar Bill gave me this link he found that has a powerpoint presentation of Your Wish is Your Command. http://www.slideshare.net/ericppatel/your-wish-is-your-command-10124673#btnNext I was attempting to make a printed version using Print Screen and paste to a document.

It's insane not to want too much, or rather it's not insane to have too much, abundance is our inheritance, our birthright ... When you focus on the things that you are grateful for, it opens you to the source of all those things that came into your life. It also removes the ego, which is a nice way of getting in touch with your spirit. You cannot have ego, identity and feel grateful at the same time. The highest level of gratitude is the gratitude for existence itself. When you say thank you god just for making me just as i am and that is enough for you, you reach the highest level of gratitude. It took approximately 14 billion years to create you and me. We are all made of stardust. Recognizing the source of your identity, that you are a stardust luminous being that has become self aware, because the univese wantd to become self aware through your nervous system, is the highest form of gratitude. Not only being grateful for what you have, but also for what you are. ref; Deepak Chopra Abundance Consciousness I do not relate to this idea of removing the ego, eliminating identity.

I completely understand the concept of "ego" as used by most "spiritual" people (though there are multiple meanings of the word). I have absolutely no interest in exploring ego-denial and I think to do so is completely insane.
(19 Mar '13, 18:16)
flowsurfer
@flowsurfer we all have an ego, that is our lot on earth ... for me it's not a question of ego-denial more a question of rendering the ego temporarily transparent, invisible, take away the visible mask if you prefer so as to perceive more clearly the invisible

Hello my friend. I will try to cover every aspect here. It is great to address this for u as well. I hope it helps u find some balance. I am sending u love very often and hopefully u will accept this love and use it for ur benefit. Let us start here. Your quote" what whatever I can imagine and whatever desire the universe inspires in me, it can fulfill" This is true, but it has limits. Limits of what 1st of all the universal rules set within its own beliefs, the 10th Density galactic consciousness, the collective conciseness and its own structure of beliefs and also all of the oversoul's that make the collective call "gia" or earth. After these restrictions, there is your own personal beliefs. If you approach anything mentally, with intellect instead of heart, you will always be pulled back into this collective consciousnesses rules. To make your own rules or to bend the rules it is only by your beliefs. And these must be from the heart. Not the ego, or mind. The ego is the part of ur soul that is made within the matrix, and this part of ur physical self integrated with your soul, is the part that adores physical existence. It is a part of us that is no longer needed. It tells us that we are physical and not divine in nature. It limits you. These beliefs must be from ur heart. If u overanalyze it will not do the manifesting any good. This brings us to manifesting in general. It is not as simple as most think. Want it, get it, is a clear understatement. We have spoke before of the ideas of being exited. Doing everything in every area of wanting to do what ur passion is. But if the outcome of being a model is the only part of being one that excites you, well it will not work out so well in a manifesting. If you do not enjoy just the aspect of doing what models do, then it is harder. If you wish abundance and money and sexual prowess, then it is not only modeling that can get you there. When you make yourself believe that this is the ONLY way to go, this feeds into your beliefs and then makes it your only possibility, and limits you severely. As for god. For me I do not see God as a driving force more than the force of creation and consistent gift of love and light, this would make me believe that he has no biases on what we do or do not do. It was once explained to me that love and light is a constant, that it is great gift. But also understanding that we may take or deny this gift. The only true test of us giving or receiving it is through using the love for ourselves. It sounds selfish to some when I say use it for urself, but it is the truth. We have to be able to make this gift useful. If we attempt to love those around us, but not ourselves first, well it will not work. It is a reality of manifesting from the inside to the outside. It is only the caliber of how we are able to perceive ourselves of being worthy of that love and light(wisdom). He will not step in and do anything for us, and this includes preventing us form doing it for ourselves. This is the law of free will. About dropping that hope for a better future, it is as simple as disconnecting the ideas of what happened in the past forms and molds the future. It does not work this way. It is literally an infinite amounts of future and and past that occur. It is only the vibration of the energy of now that links you directly to the past and future. Understanding the way we experience time, and this not being the true nature of time, is also very important. (SEE MORE ABOUT THIS IDEA ON MY POST AND OTHERS HERE.) When u see this and understand that the past is not really have anything to do with the now, and building a future is not a trueness, only living in the now, in excitement and in the intent of making your life good NOW. This is the true key. The manifesting that you have tried and failed in is based upon these ideas alone. Thinking of forming a past, and thinking of how the past has defeated you, this is where all of your focus is and this is why the now seems so hard. It is like this as an example. If you have to drink a gallon of water to yourself ( living in the now ) but you give a friend a quarter of this ( focusing on the past ) and another friend another quarter. ( focusing on the future ) and yet one more friend another quarter ( having worry and concern for both past, future, and now ), well now you only have one quarter of the waters gallon to drink. You have literally given away the thing u need most. (yourself and focus). This is very important to understand in the heart and not just in the mind. NO DESIRE is delusional as long as there is balance and understanding. If you go against who or what you are, then it is not likely to do anything in ways of manifesting. It is about being yourself. Being able to place yourself in the now at all times, and not giving it away. Also, it is about not stepping into somthing just because of the last result of it, it is about doing what you want because you will find joy in ALL aspects of what you are doing, and THEN and only then can you find true joy and feelings of fulfillment. Abundance is what we make of it. It can be money and fame and feelings of sexuality, but if it is this alone you want, you can not only limit yourself to this line of thoughts alone. The more that you accept as possibilities, the more one or another will manifest for you. I know we have covered allot of these ideas, in fact I do not even know if all things in here we have covered it or not. But I hope there is somthing new here. I hope there is somthing that you can hold on to that helps u here my dear brother. I do love you and I hope that this can help. Love n light Rob "This is true, but it has limits." - Then it isn't true. Pay more attention to the meaning of words. "But if the outcome of being a model is the only part of being one that excites you, well it will not work out so well in a manifesting. If you do not enjoy just the aspect of doing what models do, then it is harder." - There is nothing I enjoy "doing" Rob, there are only things I enjoy being. Being involves being placed in a space-time context, it requires what you dismiss as the ego.

We don't sit in a rollercoaster car because we enjoy "sitting". We do it because we enjoy the ride. The ride is not composed only of what we actively engage in. There are "outcomes" that are like goals, and I agree these are kind of just empty "mental" things. Then there are outcomes that are like amusement park rides, they are not just things to check off a list but ways in which you live, the structure of that life.
(17 Mar '13, 20:28)
flowsurfer
@flowersurfer. Yes. i understand what u mean, but my point was only the enjoyment of the moments in what u wish to do. If I am riding a roller coaster, then i am exited to learn about the ride, about how it works, the place it is, when it is open, the height and weight requirements, the standing in line. ALL aspects must be held with some excitement if i wish to have a life changing ride. This is all that was meant.

You said, He is listening, and cares, but perhaps He is waiting to hear the right things from you. Perhaps He is waiting to hear you Praise Him! Yes, Praise Him! Say ,"Thank you for my life. Thank you for my food. Thank you for everything I already have." He is not a robot, nor is He Santa Claus. He is God. He will supply ALL your needs, as long as you are in His Kingdom. Are you? Are you really? If you are content with what you have, more will be given to you. Otherwise, it is stagnation, I am afraid. I learned all of this from Wade and from our pastor, who is an incredible man who really knows God. Take my advice, and heed them. Jaianniah (Cris) I am not as thankful these days but I went through periods of being genuinely very thankful and it didn't make anything better at all; I remained as stagnant as when I was negative, if not more. This is why I am resistant to the whole notion of "just be at peace and appreciate where you are and things will get better". My actual life experience tells me that is not true; or at least what I think people mean by it isn't true. Isn't "Santa Claus" a symbol of God? Why does God need praise from me?
(17 Mar '13, 03:10)
flowsurfer
I've heard this "God is not Santa Claus" phrase before. What is God then? There are genuinely cruel, sadistic people on earth that receive many of the things I ask of God while I go without.

It is not for God that you praise Him; it is for you! Praise puts us in a place of feeling worthy, and making you feel worthy of getting more. (This is from Wade- He is at work right now.)

@FS , I have a friend who has a house valued @ $350,000 , she complains on a regular basis that she hasn't enough money to buy even a postage stamp , her health is crap and yet she is a woman of religion , I wouldn't swap places. One can't compare their self to another as you will never know the thoughts that continually run through their minds , this is only torturing self, focus only what and why you want it .

I'm not angry, at least not with you. There are people who are cruel and sadistic, that is just a fact; I don't hate those people or wish them ill. I am "warm, fed, clothed, sheltered" but I am not just an animal, I have other needs. If life was just about being warm, fed, clothed and sheltered it would be so empty and meaningless that it wouldn't be worth living.

Hi, I would suggest it is more insane to want nothing more. I believe no matter how content we are, there will always be things that we desire. That desire does not need to rule our life, but I believe it is there in all of us. What is 'too much' anyway? Too much to one person, may be peanuts to another. Much love, Lindsay |

A short summary of my thoughts after reading your question flow. I hope in some odd way you find it helpful - it's an original. "The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach." ~ Carl Jung, The Meaning of Psychology for Modern Man Hey - did I channel Carl Jung? I thought of cruising the Cosmo's like 8 hours ago ................. coincidence? I wonder.... hmm? to clarify & not confuse -
meaning I'm nuts; your not. We live in a world that is held together by rational connections. That which is logical/ reasonable is acceptable. That which is not reasonable is not acceptable. The world of sanity. If you understand that you are insane, then you are thinking appropriately & are - therefore, NOT insane. You can only be psychotic/crazy - if in actuality - you believe that you are not. I choose to cruise the cosmos....... and am leaving now to celebrate the Spring Equinox of 2013 & not sure when I will return! 1

You're in a tough situation. You're miserable because you didn't get what you wanted out of life. The key is to figure out exactly what you want in your fantasies and how you can still get as much of that as you can. Start by figuring out why you're unhappy with your life. What do you want from it that you're not getting? Write down specific list. Now figure out what you can do to achieve each item. You can do research or ask for advice. If you don't think you can achieve some items, set more modest goals. As you achieve them, you'll have more experience and will be able to set more ambitious ones. You'll feel better everyday you get closer to your goals, and you'll probably start sleeping better. Example- 1. You're fantasizing about being a teenager because you're unhappy about getting older. 2. You want to look and feel younger. This gives you a better chance of acting, modeling, dating, etc. 3. You can achieve this with good nutrition, drinking more water, getting regular exercise, and sleeping 7-8 hrs/night. Just ask if you want any info about nutrition and exercise. You can significantly improve your health, fitness, and appearance with lifestyle changes. I have gone with that strategy before and in fact, I worked very hard at it. Unfortunately the only thing that it generated was me becoming increasingly aware and despondent over my limitations and how little hard work could achieve. No matter how much I exercise, I won't grow significantly taller from it. Most issues I have with appearance have no practical answer and the only -hopes- for them at all involve considerable expenses. The teenager thing is about more than health and appearance.

Wanting "too much" means you aren't happy with where you are. So you need to want "more and more" to compensate for the lack that you feel in your life. Yes. So what? The continual appeasement of hunger is what makes life fun and worth living. With the caveat that it is not like I am achieving one goal and then continuing to feel miserable, I am not achieving any goal that I care about.

flowsurfer, few things in life do not change, yet one is the day you were born. be careful of what guides your desires
The desire to turn back time is not about changing the day I was born, it is about changing the day I am on. If this is not possible then I have to figure out where exactly the border is between possible and impossible. Thus my question, in bold, which pretty much everyone ignored: How do you separate a desire worth having from a desire that will just bring you pain because it will never be fulfilled?
If you accept that there are limits to what you can manifest, how do you keep that acceptance from creating a vicious cycle of doubt; if I can't turn back time, maybe I can't really find a good looking, kind hearted and fun partner that loves me. If I can't find my ideal mate, maybe I can't really make money doing what I love. If I can't make money doing what I love, maybe even the more "realistic" version of it which would be a good job is not possible. And on and on.
How do you KNOW what is possible for you and what isn't?
we learn what is possible, with each stage a greater awareness of knowing capabilities as you are now from when you were born and what you become
@flowsurfer to know what is possible for you follow the pleasure line, the feeling of least resistance, or as bashar says "follow your highest excitement"
