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

by Esther Hicks

It is our powerful desire that you be pleased with where you are right now, in this moment—no matter where you are. We understand how strange these words must sound to you if you are standing in a place that seems far from where you want to be. But it is our absolute promise to you that when you understand the power of feeling good now, no matter what, you will hold the key to the achievement of any state of being, any state of health, any state of wealth, or any state of anything that you desire.

Do you know what you want? Do you know that you are the creator of your own experience? Are you enjoying the evolution of your desire? Do you feel the freshness of a new desire pulsing within you?

We write this book to assist you in returning you to your place of optimism, positive expectation, and expanding joy; and to remind you that there is nothing that you cannot be, do, or have. We write this book because we promised you we would. And now, as you hold this book in your hands, you are completing a promise you made as well.

“I will always feel the power and value of my own personal perspective, for the ‘Non-Physical Energy’ that creates worlds will flow through my decisions, my intentions and my every thought, for the creation of that which I set into motion from my perspective.”

Since we know who you are, we will easily help you remember who you are.

Well-Being is the basis of this Universe. Well-Being is the basis of All-That-Is. It flows to you and through you. You have only to allow it. Like the air you breathe, you have only to open, relax, and draw it into your Being.

We want you to begin to understand the blessed nature of your Being, and we want you to begin to look for the evidence of it, because we are showing it to you in every moment that you will allow yourselves to see it: in the lining up of lovers, money, fulfilling experiences, and beautiful things for you to see; in the lining up of circumstances and events; and in the lining up of amazing co-creative experiences where you are rendezvousing with one another for no other reason than for the fantastically important reason of fulfilling, satisfying, and pleasing yourself and giving yourself joy in the moment. Your motion forward is inevitable; it must be. You cannot help but move forward. But you are not here on a quest to move forward—you are here to experience outrageous joy. That is why you are here.

The reason you have not already gotten what you desire is because you are holding yourself in a vibrational holding pattern that does not match the vibration of your desire.

So now, the only thing you need to do is gently and gradually, piece by piece, release your resistant thoughts, which are the only disallowing factors involved.

which means enthusiasm, passion, and triumph.

When you are consciously aware of your own thoughts, and you are deliberately offering them, then you are the deliberate creator of your own reality—

You do not have to use your words. You just have to feel it in your being: I desire this. I adore this. I appreciate this, and so on. That desire is the beginning of all attraction.

It is our desire that you become one who is happy with that which you are and with that which you have—while at the same time being eager for more. That is the optimal creative vantage point: To stand on the brink of what is coming, feeling eager, optimistic anticipation—with no feeling of impatience, doubt, or unworthiness hindering the receiving of it—that is the Science of Deliberate Creation at its best.

you must then find ways of holding yourself consistently in vibrational harmony with those desires in order to receive their manifestation.

And the easiest way for you to achieve vibrational harmony with it

is to imagine having it, pretend that it is already in your experience, flow your thoughts toward the enjoyment of the experience, and as you practice those thoughts and begin to consistently offer that vibration, you will then be in the place of allowing that into your experience.

When your thoughts are a vibrational match to your desire, you feel good—your emotional range would be from contentment to expectation to eagerness to joy. But if you are giving your attention to the lack, or absence, of your desire—your emotions would range from feelings of pessimism to worry to discouragement to anger to insecurity to depression.

Your emotions provide a wonderful guidance system for you, and if you will pay attention to them, you will be able to guide yourself to anything that you desire.

Whatever you are thinking about is like planning a future event. When you are appreciating, you are planning.

You Are a Summoner of Vibrational Energy You are Consciousness. You are Energy. You are Vibration. You are Electricity. You are Source Energy. You are Creator.

may feel absolutely normal to those who have already come to understand and expect Well-Being to flow constantly into their experience.

way to go with the flow of the Well-Being

There is only a Stream of Well-Being that flows. You can allow it or resist it, but it flows just the same.

as the beneficiary of the powerful Stream of Well-Being. Try to imagine that you are basking in the flow of this powerful stream. Make an effort to feel yourself as the Leading-Edge beneficiary of this unlimited stream, and smile and try to accept that you are worthy of it.

worthiness

ultimately all up to you.

You are a vibrational transmitter, and you are broadcasting your signal in every moment of your existence.

Immediately, your present and future circumstances begin to change in response to the signal you are offering now. And so, the entire Universe, right now, is affected by what you are offering.

think about it or speak about it,

So, for an observer, the better it gets, the better it gets; or the worse it gets, the worse it gets. However, one who is a visionary thrives in all times.

You are empowered Beings; you are utterly free to create, and when you know that, and are focused upon things that are in vibrational harmony with that, you feel absolute joy. But when you think thoughts that are contrary to that truth, you feel the opposite emotions of disempowerment and bondage. And all emotions fall somewhere within that range, from joy to disempowerment.

When you think a thought that rings true with who you really are, you feel harmony coursing through your physical body: Joy, love, and a sense of freedom

You mold it through your power of focus—by thinking about things, remembering things, and imagining things.

You focus the Energy when you speak, when you write, when you listen, when you are silent, when you remember, and when you imagine—you focus it through the projection of thought.

We want you to remember that you have absolute choices about the “Truths” that you create in your own experience.

Regarding your creation of your own life experience, there really is only one important question for you to ask: How can I bring myself into vibrational alignment with the desires that my experience has produced? And the answer is simple: Pay attention to the way you feel, and deliberately choose thoughts—about everything—that feel good to you when you think them.

• By always reaching for the feeling of joy, or Well-Being, you would always be moving toward that which you desire. • In the process of moving toward your desires, you would experience joy. • In this Earth-plane environment, you would have sufficient leeway to mold your vibration into a pleasing position for the attraction of a wonderful life experience. • Since Well-Being is the basis of this wonderful Universe, you would have sufficient opportunity—through a continual offering of thought—to mold your own thoughts into pleasing life experiences. • Well-Being abounds, so you felt no risk or concern about the contrasting environment into which you were moving. • Variety would help you choose your specific life. • Your work was to direct your thoughts, and that in doing so, your life would unfold. • You are an eternal extension of Source Energy, and that the basis of that which you are is good.

You would be able to easily allow the Well-Being of your origin, and of your Source, to steadily flow through you. • You could never get far from your Source, and that you could never completely pinch yourself off from it. • You would experience immediate emotions to help you understand the direction of your thought, and that your emotions would instantly tell you if you were, in any moment, moving toward or away from what you desired. • You would know, by the way you were feeling, moment by moment, how much you were allowing your connection to your Stream of Well-Being. And so, you came forth into this Earth experience with eager anticipation of a wonderful life. • And you also knew that there would not be an immediate manifestation of any thought, so that you would have ample opportunity to mold, evaluate, decide, and enjoy the Creative Process.

It is important that you know these things: • You are a physical extension of Source Energy.

The physical world you live in provides a perfect environment in which to create. • The variety that exists helps you focus your own personal desires or preferences. • When a desire is focused within you, the summoning of Creative Life Force immediately begins to flow toward your desire—and the Universe expands. And that is good. • Your conscious realization of the Creative Process is not necessary in order for it to continue. • The Leading-Edge environment that you are physically focused in will continue to stimulate new desires in all who participate. • Every desire or preference, no matter how large or small it may seem to you, is understood and answered by All-That-Is.

As every desire from every perceiver is answered, the Universe expands. • As the Universe expands, the variety expands. • As the variety expands, your experience expands. • As your experience expands, your desire expands. • As your desire expands, the answering of your desire expands. • And the Universe expands—and that is good. In fact, it is perfect. • You live in an eternally expanding environment, which constantly causes newly focused desires within you, which Source immediately and always answers. • With each receiving of that which you are asking for, you achieve a new vantage point from which you spontaneously ask again.

And so, the expansion of the Universe and your personal expansion will always be as follows: — You live in an expanding Universe. — You live in an expanding physical world. — You are an expanding Being. — And all of this is, whether you consciously understand it or not. — This Universe is eternally expanding, and so are you. — And that is good.
