Following on from what @releaser99 wrote in this thread....

The challenge may be the one of maintaining Vortex alignment despite powerful negative momentum though.

Thoughts with powerful (bad-feeling) momentum will drag you right out of the Vortex once you even slightly get reminded of them.

Like trying to fight the hypnotic and deadly mythological Medusa, if you dare look directly at your "enemy" (the bad-feeling powerful-momentum-filled thoughts), you get turned to stone ...err..I mean...you get kicked out of the Vortex :)

Since you wrote...

I feel like I'm finally at the stage where things are starting to make sense.

...you might be interested in giving the following method a try in preparation for your trip...

1. Make a list of What things you want to have happen on your trip
   
   
2. Also make a list (simultaneously, if you wish) of Why you want those things to happen
   
   
3. After you feel like you've exhausted the What and Why, look at the Why reasons and think about what overall positive emotion those reasons suggest to you and try to label the emotion for yourself.
   
   
4. For example, the reasons might feel to you like you want Excitement, Adventure, Wonder of Exploration, Fun etc. Use whatever word (or words) sum up the overall underlying emotion that you want from your reasons for what you want.
   
   
5. Now you're going to defeat the Medusa without looking directly at the Medusa :) ...in other words, you're going to conjure up the emotion you are after without reactivating the thoughts with powerful momentum that may drag you away from what you want.
   
   
6. Say the underlying emotion is "Adventure". Just make a separate list of experiences you've had in the past that have given you that feeling, or things that happen now in your everyday life that remind you of that feeling. (In Abraham-speak, make lists of supporting "Touchstones" and "Positive Aspects" for that emotion. "Virtual Realities" work great too)
   
   
7. For a few minutes every day from now on, you are going to just keep practicing that "Adventure" feeling for a few minutes and then forget about it. Only practice that emotion for the purpose of practicing the emotion, not to try to make anything happen. Don't refer back to your original list of What and Why, just focus purely on the emotion only.
   
   
8. If you daily keep adding to (or making more detailed) the past ("Touchstones"), present ("Positive Aspects") and future-imagined ("Virtual Realities") experiences that conjure up the emotion of "Adventure" for you, that will help considerably in making it feel more real and pure for you.
   
   
9. Give it a few weeks of practicing the emotion for a few minutes a day before attempting to judge what this is doing for you in your life. You have nothing to lose (apart from a few minutes a day) and you might be quite surprised at what happens :)

To be completely "delusional" and ignore all external circumstances and purely focus on maintaining a state of alignment and high vibrations, is this all we need?

Yes, this will always work.

Are there any caveats?

While the idea of "just feeling good" all the time (or most of the time) may seem too easy to be true, it usually really isn't easy for beginners.

And by "beginner" I don't necessarily mean somebody who is just discovering these ideas. A beginner can be anyone from just learning about these ideas to someone who was involved with them for 50 years or more.

A beginner is simply someone who hasn't practiced being in the Vortex every day for the last 30 days or so.

the biggest worry is not having enough money

Depending on the momentum behind your worries regarding that deadline, it can be even more challenging to maintain high vibrations for the next 30 days or so.

Because those worries might kick you out of the Vortex a few times. And if you haven't developed a good level of emotional self-awareness and coping skills yet, being kicked out of the Vortex could be so surprisingly uncomfortable to you that you might give up this whole "just-feeling-good-all-the-time" idea then without ever experiencing the real benefits of continuous Vortex alignment.

So technically speaking, the idea of staying in the Vortex will always work for anyone who is commited to that idea. The challenge may be the one of maintaining Vortex alignment despite powerful negative momentum though.

While it is good to practice vortex alignment on a consistent basis, it can be challenging when there is any kind resistance involved, even more so when vortex alignment is based on a specific desired outcome. When getting into vortex alignment to manifest a specific desire or outcome [attachment] rather than getting into vortex alignment for the sake of just ''being'' in an aligned state, for the sheer joy of it, it could be difficult to maintain that alignment consistently as well as predominantly, this is because a person may be offering a vibration of attachment to a specific outcome, which will always carry resistance along with it, and until that resistance is dissolved, maintaining vortex alignment for long periods of time will be difficult. It would be beneficial to get into vortex alignment with no specific expectations and see what plays out, as long as you put vortex alignment first above everything else, and maintain that alignment [dominant focus] above everything else, the Universe could line things up and surprise you with desired outcomes above and beyond what you would have expected regarding your trip to Europe.

I religiously practised being in the vortex for more than 30 days.

About 0.00% of my life changed.

those external things money food etc.. are only desire for stuff of this world that are created and decided by human being in this world. it is not about being delusional. on the contrary get to know your self first. then you can manage better your self and the choice that you can make in this external world. for example some people are poor in this world but they want to play I am rich and will not buy the cheap stuff but will buy the high price stuff. the result is that they do not have money to pay their stuff for the rest of the month. and they are always in trouble trying to live like a rich when they are not rich. then they laugh at other people because they have not this or that, what they do not realize is that the people that they laugh at can buy even more stuff then them because they save money and make better choice that are more paying in the long run. example using a credit card and paying it at the end of the month at the place of not paying it and having high interest, or using a credit card at the place of interact card that charge you service 1$ to 3$ each time you use it. so in the long run the people that they laugh at can pay their stuff and save money to do other stuff. and them that pay a lot just to play rich do not save money and are always in debt.

so you see the person that make good choice according to is budget as no need to play rich to show other then he is something. and the one that play rich because he as the desire to show other that he is something else not following is budget at the end of the month is short on money and food. just take the example of the interact card if you use it 3 time a day for lunch and just put it at 1$ of service charge it is 3 $ per day 3$ per day 30 day a month is 90$ per month 90$ per month 12 month per year is 1080$ per year. so do you prefer to have 1080$ in your year or to use that interact card and not to have 1080$ per year just to show that you can do like the rich people to show that you are something else and laugh at other people that have probably more money then you? who is delusional? could have took other example of people paying for messaging that have some cost and is limited in the number of word that you can write at the place of using email that is free and not limited in word. why try to live like a rich when you are not a rich? better to live according to your budget and save some money to maybe one day be rich or at least live a good life with out being to poor. but you have free will so you can make any choice that you want! the choice and the responsibility of those choice is yours.

for desire many want to manifest a lot of thing some that are needed and some that are not. as long as you can be wise enough to know what manifestation is important to make and what manifestation is not important to make. fee know what is important and what is not important and that they can do with out or is not needed in the present moment.

is it better to do more at lower cost or to do lest at higher cost?

it is like people that visit house that are more then 5 time over their budget in case that they could pass at the bank to get it. even if they could get it they would not be able to pay it. so why waste time and gas to go visit that house that you have no money to buy? it would be better for you to save that money and when you will have money to go buy a house according to your budget to buy it make the payment and keep it.

Let there be light, be the light that you can be, experience and enjoy.

most of natures laws have depth,
are other than linear
whose words cannot
describe that spherical

perhaps zero point ought be
your search not the vortex

Coming to this conversation 2+ years later, I'm curious to find out @freedomdude, how was your trip??

I had a similar experience where I'd dreamed of going to Greece for over 30 years but it just wasn't happening. I finally made it there but it was because of 1 reason only: I finally made the decision to go come hell or high water. I ended up going alone because I got fed up of waiting around for someone to share the trip with.

Once I made that decision, the Universe began to collaborate in making it happen for me. I was excited and looking forward to having an amazing experience! A lot of great things happened during the trip but I also had some unpleasant experiences. Overall, I'm convinced that if I'd continued to "wait for the right moment", I'd still be waiting.

What's ironic is that prior to making the decision to go on the trip, I was feeling burnt out, fed up, irritated, unambitious, bored, etc etc etc... and while I was planning my trip, I was still worried about some things in my life that could go wrong (family health issues, lack of work/income, etc..) In the end though, everything worked out despite the negative worrying thoughts swirling around in my head. And yet, I had some so-called negative experiences while I was on my trip despite literally flying high emotionally (because I was feeling so good, having such a great time).

How is this possible?

Abraham talks about taking "inspired action" vs working yourself to the bone to make something happen. I've traveled a fair amount in my life but never have I worked SO hard to bring all the elements together for a trip! Planning that trip became a full-time job that drained me but I feel that if I hadn't done all that work and just left it to chance (or to "inspired action"), I'm not sure I would've had as much luck (in booking affordable hotels for instance) and the stress of being forced to book hotels out of my price range would've made things worse. I do trust the Universe... but why didn't it make things easy on me? Why didn't the "perfect" accommodations just show up online vs me spending weeks looking for them before I could finally book them?

So this bears the question: Where do you draw the line between waiting for inspired action and just going out there and doing whatever needs to be done? For all I know, if I hadn't gone ahead and taken action, I'd still be waiting for that trip to happen.

Of course, this applies to everything in life that you're waiting to manifest. When do we "stop waiting" and just go for it already?
