Oh, it's not so easy and immediate as we might like it to be, but here's a little bit of a primer on manifestation of our choices in the moment.
First of all, let's be clear that all creation happens in the moment and nowhere else. That's actually the challenge. What you are being and thinking and loving in the moment - every moment - is what brings experiences to you. So consistency is important. It's one thing to radiate love and trust in the process for a single moment, but can we maintain it?
To give an example from my own experience, I desire the creation of paths and simple benches scattered here and there on the ten acres of woodland I am privileged to steward. I desire that this is created as soon as possible, since patience isn't one of my virtues. I love the idea of this. I hold it with enthusiasm. I breathe it out into the 'World-Whole' - which is a continuous process of becoming - as I walk through the woodland. Yet, I have moments of doubt - the old refrain of 'not enough' comes in. Not enough money, not enough time, not enough muscle power for me to accomplish what I desire.... Such a tired old story, that 'not enough', don't you agree? And that tired old story contradicts the story about the paths and benches.
The World loves me. It loves you too. It will give you, joyfully and lovingly, whatever you are radiating. If you are radiating anger, it will give you anger. If you are radiating shame, it will give you shame. If you are radiating an abundance of paths and benches, it will give you an abundance of paths and benches. But if we are inconsistent in our being, which radiates out to the World-Whole-Becoming, it gets confused and confusing. "Oh," says the World, "so now you want to be lacking.... Okay. I'll give you that." We take a deep breath and renew our confident projection of the creation of our desires. "Oh," says the World, "so now you want to be standing in that woodland on a lovely path beside a conveniently placed bench. Gotcha! I'll give you that."
You can see how the inconsistency of our radiance could really get in the way of the World-Whole-Becoming offering us the experience that we ourselves are radiating. It's a kind of 'red light / green light' scenario. "Stop. Go. Stop. Go. Go..... No, don't..... Okay, go." Ultimately, that is just not going to work very well for us.
So, here are some ideas that might help with this inconsistency.
First of all, you need to know what it is that you really desire and you need to be okay with that. That means, no hidden blocks - these tend to run along the lines of, "I don't deserve it. I'm not good enough. I'm not worthy. I haven't worked hard enough...." You get the picture. These can be buried pretty deeply within us. I've mentioned before the importance of delving within to find your truth, of spending time with the parts of yourself that aren't so pretty or so nice. These all need to be known and accepted and loved before you can truly release the beliefs about your own self-worth that block you from receiving what you desire. If you can't accept everything about yourself, you are, on some level, projecting unacceptability out to the World-Whole-Becoming. Remember that the World gives you exactly what you are. If you feel yourself to be unworthy, that's what the World will oh-so-lovingly give back to you.
Secondly, since consistency is key, it might help if you think your thought, imagine your desired outcome, feel that enthusiasm and that desire, and then LET IT GO. Busy yourself with other matters and when you do think about it, be consistent, as much as you are able. If you pick at it, worry over it, wonder when.... you'll be doing a great job of getting in your own way. I know it's exquisitely pick-at-able, like a scab that's itching and just ready to come off. Still, be where you are, NOT where you might be later. Perhaps. If everything goes well....
Love the self you are. Love the moment that you are in. Appreciate what now surrounds you. Enjoy the experience which you are currently immersed in. That projects self-love, love for the world, appreciation and enjoyment. And being that, you attract that. Your life becomes filled with love, self-love, appreciation and enjoyment. Pretty good, I'd say.
This is not an easy thing to do, but it is a huge step toward becoming a conscious creator of your experience, and toward the manifestation of your desires.
What you love, you attract. What you are, you end up surrounded by. So being is important. Being in love with the World. Being in the moment.
Above all else, enjoy the process, the practice and the Now.
