Carol Heideman has channeled the entity Michael since 1987.
Her column conveys a practical and timely message from Michael.
Portions of this article were excerpted from Carol's book, Searching for Light: Michael's
Information for a Time of Change.
As you move into the new millennium, you need to understand
and use energy. Your energy is the non-physical representation
of what you are feeling and experiencing. You can observe your
energy to understand what is going on in your life, and you can
manipulate your energy tochange what you are experiencing.
In terms of manipulating energy, manifesting desire seems
to be a popular subject these days. By "manifesting,"
we mean creating out of thought that which you desire. By "desire"
we mean what your heart/soul wants to draw into your experience.
This is sometimes different than what your ego wants.
Manifesting is one of the most practical and useful applications
for energy work. Following are several ways to add energy and
speed to your desires. As you may realize, energy work is the
underlying source for the power of prayer. Thoughts become reality.
Focused thought manifests your desires out there in the future;
you must move through time and space to reach them. Hopefully,
you control your thoughts well enough that you do not manifest
the state of "not having." If you focus your thoughts
on what you lack, more of that lack is what you end up with! Your
desires are manifested more solidly out there in the future when
you layer the creative energy in multiple applications.
Your desires reach you more quickly when fueled by strong
emotion. If you think of something you do want with strong emotion,
you get more of it faster. However, if you think about something
you do not want with strong emotion (like fear), you also get
more of it faster! When your planet was still operating with slower
energies, the time lag was so long, it was more difficult to connect
thoughts with consequences. At the current speed, your thoughts
may bring almost instantaneous results.
Uncontrolled thought causes difficulty for you in two ways:
manifestation of negative creations and erasure of positive creations.
From our perspective, we see a creation moving toward you through
time and space. Suddenly, POUF! Your creation disappears as soon
as you think about how impossible it is. When this happens, you
disbelieve that you can manifest from thought because sometimes
the results are temporarily invisible. When you leave your house
for work, you don't disbelieve that your office will be there
just because you cannot see it from your house! Indeed, your office
will not be there, however, if you take a wrong turn along the
way. With manifesting, you must stay on the road, moving through
time and space, in order to reach your creations. Over time, you
may notice a "click" when your creation is so solidly
in place that it would be very difficult to erase it. This signifies
increasing ability at manifesting.
Each day, you constantly manifest with your thoughts. We
suggest that you work at eliminating negative thoughts altogether,
even if that means thinking about neutral things most of the time.
Then, from time to time, focus on your goals and desires in order
to consciously and deliberately manifest what you want. This is
particularly powerful if it is not "erased" for several
hours, so it is helpful to send out your thought-desires with
a lot of positive emotion right before you sleep at night. (Rather
like saying your prayers!) As the hours pass while you sleep,
you will not think negatively.
Feel free to be creative about energizing your goals, using
any method or combination of methods that pleases you. In fact,
this is a particularly powerful time to strengthen your focus
on your wishes and desires since the additional energy brings
them to you more quickly and with more intensity. However, it
is crucial to be in a completely positive focus, or you will be
getting what you don't want equally as quickly and with more intensity!
Be alert to deceptively negative thoughts and affirmations that
actually focus your mind on the opposite of what you truly want.
Be quite conscious of this until you have developed enough skill
to recognize it when you come across one, in yourself and others.
Some illustrations of such deceptive statements follow,
with a truly positive form of the same statement:
Deceptively negative:
"I want out of my stinking job." (This will get you more of that hated job.)
Truly positive:
"I want a harmonic shift into a new job, where I'm well-paid to do something I love so much I would do it for free!"
Deceptively negative:
"I want to quit feeling so physically bad."
Truly positive:
"I want to feel glowing good health. I enjoy being in physical form; my body gives me pleasure."
Notice that the truly positive statements have no indication
of a problem to be eliminated. At the outset, it is often difficult
to think in a truly positive manner when you're feeling bad or
negative. Remember that neutral is your goal at that time. "I
want to feel neutral," becomes your intention when in negative.
Once that is achieved, the truly positive goal becomes clearer
and more attainable. It is often helpful to use the word "harmony"
in your goal statements. When things come to you "in a harmonic
way," there is a gentle transition. Harmony works to smooth
bumps in the road between you and your goal. Harmony brings things
to you in pleasant ways. For instance, you would state your intention
for money to come to you "from any harmonic source,"
or else you may get lots of money, but from a traumatic car accident
that pays a big settlement!
Manifesting is not the difficulty it seems to be.
In the next issue we will discuss specific manifesting techniques.
