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

by Esther Hicks

Einstein once observed, “Nothing happens until something moves”—

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

In fact, when I thought of the word, it brought to mind people lying on beds of nails, walking on hot coals, standing on one foot for years, or begging for donations at the airport.

Our Non-Physical language is one of vibration,

and our Non-Physical communities, or families, are those of intention.

You Only Hear What You Are Ready to Hear

“Yes, I’m enjoying the evolution of my desire. I feel wonderful as I stand in this place where many things that I desire have not yet come to me,”

There Is Nothing That You Cannot Be, Do, or Have

“You are the creator of your own reality.”

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.

You Are a Physical Extension of Source Energy

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—

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.

Whatever you are giving your attention to causes you to emit a vibration, and the vibrations that you offer equal your asking, which equals your point of attraction.

If there is something you desire that you currently do not have, you need only put your attention upon it,

as you think about this thing or experience that you desire, you offer a vibration, and then, by Law, that very thin...

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. When you are worrying, you are planning. (Worrying is using your imagination to create something you do not want.)

Nothing can occur in your life experience without your invitation of it through your thought.

That which is like unto itself is drawn,

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

You cannot stand in resistance of them and receive them at the same time.

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.

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 the fuel gauge on your vehicle indicates that the tank is empty, you do not criticize the indicator. You receive the information that it has offered you, and you do something about adding more fuel to your tank.

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.

but you also feel no discomfort about their existence.

and somebody else does not have to lose for you to win. There is always enough.

And that simply requires finding unfamiliar ways of approaching familiar subjects.

the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.

the purpose of your life is joy.

Any feelings of insecurity and hatred are born from your disconnection with who you are.

you do not have access to thoughts and feelings that are very far from where you have recently been vibrating,

The thing that matters most is that you consciously reach for a feeling that is improved. The word for the feeling is not important.

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.
