Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires (Law of Attraction Book 7)

by Esther Hicks

What you think and what you get is always a perfect vibrational match, so it can be very helpful to make a conscious correlation between what you are thinking and what is manifesting in your life experience, but it is even more helpful if you are able to discern where you are headed even before you get there.

The Creative Process is occurring whether you are consciously aware of it or not. Because of the variety and contrast of your experience, continual new preferences are being born within you, and you are, even without knowing it, broadcasting them as requests.

And in the moment that you broadcast a preference, Source Energy receives your vibrational request and, by the Law of Attraction, offers immediate responses, which you must then align to vibrationally.

“This old car no longer pleases me,” you conclude, not realizing that in looking at the unpleasing car, you are tuning your vibration back to it, and not forward to the new car you desire. “I really need a new car,” you explain, pointing out the dents, the cracks, and the undependable performance of the old one.

With each statement of need and justification for a new car, you unwittingly reinforce the vibration of your current unpleasant situation, and in doing so, you continue to hold yourself out of vibrational alignment with your new desire, and out of the receiving mode of what you are asking for.

Once you understand that your thoughts equal your point of attraction and that the way you feel indicates your level of allowing or resisting, you now hold the key to creating anything that you desire.

Although there is no source of sickness, you may offer thoughts that disallow the natural flow of your wellness just as you may offer thoughts that disallow the natural flow of your abundance, although there is no source of poverty.

Well-Being is constantly making its way to you, and if you have not learned thoughts that slow it or restrict it, you are experiencing it in all areas of your life.

It does not matter where you currently stand in relationship to anything you desire. By paying attention to the way you feel, and by directing your thoughts to better-feeling thoughts, you can again achieve vibrat...

when you are appreciating something, you are a vibrational match to who you really are. When you love someone, or yourself, you are a vibrational match to who you really are. But if you are finding fault with yourself or another, you are, in that moment, offering a vibration that does not match who you really are, and the negative emotion you feel is your indicator that you have introduced a vibration of resistance and that you are n...

It is not important what you call that Source of Energy, or Life Force, but it is important that you are consciously aware of when you are allowing a full connection to it and when you are restricting it in some way—and your emotions are your constant indicators of your degree of allowing or resisting that connection.

As you focus Creative Energy, there are two factors to consider: first, the intensity and speed of the Energy; and second, your level of allowing or resisting it.

The first factor has to do with the amount of time you have spent considering your desire, and to what degree you have become specific. In other words, when you have been wanting something for a long time, your summoning power is much greater than if you are thinking about it for the first time today.

Also, whenever you have considered it for some time, having experienced contrast that helped you to become even more specific about it, your desire...

Once a desire has achieved that sort of power or speed, it is quite easy for you to feel how you are doing with the second factor: the allo...

When you are thinking about something that you have been wanting for a very long time, and, in this moment, you are noticing that it has not yet happened, a strong negative emotion would be present within you, for you are thinking about something that ha...

However, if you are thinking about something that you have been wanting for a long time and you are imagining that it is happening, then your emotion ...

Remember, whenever you give your attention to a thought, that thought immediately becomes activated within you, so the Law of Attraction immediately responds, which means that other thoughts, in vibrational harmony with the thought that you have just activated, now join your activated thought, making it a more pronounced, more powerful, and more attractive thought. And as you continue your focus, and as your thought expands, that more powerful thought that you have just activated is joined by others like it . . . and on it goes.

Remember, before you can effectively benefit from paying attention to your emotions, you must first accept that Well-Being is the only Stream that flows. You can allow or disallow this Stream, but when you allow it, you are well; and when you disallow it, you are sick. In other words, there is only a Stream of wellness, which you are allowing or resisting, and you can tell by the way you feel which you are doing.

Whatever you are giving your attention to is already pulsing an Energy vibration. And as you hold your attention upon it, you begin to vibrate as it is vibrating. Each time you focus upon it, and each time you offer the vibration, it feels easier for you to do it the next time, until, in time, you develop a sort of vibrational proclivity.

Anything that you give your attention to will become your “truth.” The Law of Attraction says that it must. Your life, and everyone else’s, too, is but a reflection of the predominance of your thoughts. There is no exception to this.

Your emotions are your indicators of the vibrational variance between your physical Being and your Inner Being, and when you pay attention to these emotions and try to focus on good-feeling thoughts, you are then using your Emotional Guidance System in the way that you intended when you decided to come into this physical body.

Once you allow this new orientation and begin to accept yourself as a Vibrational Being who attracts all the things that come into your experience, then you will begin the delicious journey into Deliberate Creation. Once you begin to understand the correlation between what you are thinking, what you are feeling, and what you are receiving, now you have it. Now you hold all the keys that are necessary to get from wherever you are to wherever you want to be, on all subjects.

Through personal force or strength, or gathering together in groups to gain the feeling of more power or control, they seek to preserve their own Well-Being by attempting to take control of any circumstances that they believe could threaten it.

But, in this attraction-based Universe where there is no such thing as exclusion, the harder they push against unwanted things, the more they achieve vibrational alignment with unwanted things—and in doing so, the more they invite unwanted things into their own experience.

We want you to remember that you have absolute choices about the “Truths” that you create in your own experience. Once you understand that the only reason anyone ever experiences anything is because of their attention to the subject, then it is easy to see that “Truth” only exists because someone gave their attention to it.

Deliberate Creation is about deliberately choosing those experiences you make your Truths.

In other words, the thought is becoming stronger; its pulling power is getting stronger, and other similar thought vibrations are joining it. And, as the thought gains momentum, you now begin to get an emotional reading on how well this growing thought-vibration is matching the Energy of your Source.

If it matches who you are, your good-feeling emotions indicate that.

If it does not match who you are, your bad-feeling emoti...

The way you feel is a clear and accurate indication of your alignment, or misalignment, with your Source Energy. In other words, your emotions let you know if you are allowing, or if you are in a current state of resistance to, your connection with Source.

When you continue to focus upon any thought, it becomes increasingly easy to continue to focus upon it because the Law of Attraction is making more thoughts like it available to you.

Your emotions let you know how much Source Energy you are summoning in this moment by virtue of the desire you hold in this moment. They also let you know whether your preponderance of thought on the subject matches your desire, or matches the absence of your desire.

When you really, really want something, and you are thinking about your desire and feeling pleasure from the thought, your thought vibration is now in alignment with your desire—and the current from your Source is flowing through you toward your intended desire with no restriction or resistance. We call that: allowing.

But when you really, really want something and are feeling anger or fear or disappointment, that means you are focused upon the opposite of your desire, and in doing so, you are introducing another non-matching vibration to the mix—and the degree of negative emotion that you are now experiencing indicates the degree of your resistance to your receiving of your desire.

When emotions are strong—whether they feel good or feel bad—your desire is strong.

When emotions are weak, your desire is not so strong.

When emotions feel good—whether they are strong or weak— you are allowing the ful...

Your emotions are absolute indicators of your vibrational content. Therefore, they are the perfect reflection of your current point of attraction. They help you know, in any moment, whether or not you ...

Similarly, a negative feeling is an indicator that your current choice of thoughts has you offering a vibration that is so out of harmony with your Source Energy that you are currently disallowing your full connection to that Energy Stream. (You could say your tank is approaching empty.)

If your emotions are helping you know that your choice of thoughts is not taking you in the direction that you desire to go, then do something about that: Replenish your connection by choosing better-feeling thoughts.

You have the ability to direct your own thoughts; you have the option of observing things as they are, or of imagining them as you want them to be—and whichever option you choose, whether you are imagining or observing, is equally powerful.

In every case, your thoughts produce a vibration within you that equals your point of attraction, and then circumstances and events line up to match the vibrations that you have offered.

It is not your job to make something happen—Universal Forces are in place for all of that. Your work is to simply determine what you want.

When you have lived an experience that helps you understand, in an exaggerated way, the very thing you do not want, you also understand, in an exaggerated way, what you do want.

But when you are painfully aware of what you do not want, you are not in alignment with what you do want. When you desire something that you do not believe is possible, you are not in alignment. When there is something that you want and you are feeling unhappy that you do not have it, you are not in alignment; when you see someone who currently has the very thing that you desire and you feel jealous, you are not in alignment.

If we were standing in your physical shoes, our attention would be upon bringing ourselves into alignment with the desires and preferences that we have launched—we w...

All of your desires, wants, or preferences emanate from you naturally and constantly, for you stand at the Leading Edge of a Universe that makes that so.
