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

by Esther Hicks

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.

The key to bringing something into your experience that you desire is to achieve vibrational harmony with what you desire. 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.

As long as you are more aware of what you do not want regarding this situation, what you do want cannot come to you. In other words, if you are predominantly thinking about your beautiful new car, then it is steadily making its way to you, but if you are predominantly thinking about your undependable current car, your dependable new car cannot move toward you.

Distinguishing between the actual thought of what you want, compared to the thought of its absence, is sometimes difficult.

This is the simple basis of this eternally expanding Universe: • Variety causes contemplation. • Contemplation produces preference. • Preference is asking. • Asking is always answered. 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.

The feeling of pure desire is always delicious, as it represents the vibrations that are stretched out before you into your unseen future, preparing the way for the Law of Attraction to match things up on your behalf.

When your desire feels so big that it feels unreachable, it is not on the verge of manifestation. When your desire feels to you like it is the next logical step, then it is on the verge of manifestation.

Deliberate Creation is about choosing a thought that feels good when you choose it, which then causes the condition to change. For example, unconditional love is really about wanting so much to remain in connection with your Source of love that you deliberately choose thoughts that allow your connection, no matter what manifestations may be happening nearby.

But the most important thing we want you to realize is that it does not matter how good you feel or how fast you feel it—the only thing that matters is that you consciously discover some relief, no matter how slight it is, and that you understand that your relief has come in response to some deliberate effort that you have offered. For when you are able to find relief, then you have regained creative control of your own experience, and then you are on your way to wherever you desire to go.

Life is not about tomorrow, it is about right now. Life is about how you are currently molding the Energy!

So we told them to buy a notebook, and across the front of it, in bold letters, write: My Book of Positive Aspects. And then turn to the first page and write: Positive Aspects of Southpark Hotel in Austin. So Esther began to write: “It is a beautiful facility. It is well situated, very easy access to the interstate, and easy to give directions to. The parking lot is adequate and convenient. Our room is always very clean. There are many sizes of rooms, so we can accommodate whatever size group will be attending. . . .” And as she made these entries, she found herself wondering why she had ever considered finding a new hotel. In other words, her attention to the positive aspects put her in such a mode of feeling good about this hotel that (it is our knowing) she cannot attract anything that is not good from that hotel. In other words, she took her attention—by virtue of her deliberate writing in this book—off of the pothole. Is It Inspiration, or Is It Motivation? You can look at this in two different ways: If I do such and such, these good things will happen, or If I don’t do such and such, these bad things will happen. The first inspires you to action from a positive place. The second motivates you to action from a negative place. Your Book of Positive Aspects will put you more and more in the position of attracting—by virtue of your inspired positive feeling—whatever you desire.
