'Live it' into being
[The following advice continues that of the day before. There's only so much I can take in at a time.]
Stop waiting. Start being it, start living it. Now. No more waiting.
Feel it into being by resting in your oneness. Before too long, you'll be moving within your oneness and acting from your oneness. Starting NOW.
Take the time to return, if you need, to a sense of oneness first. Act only from this sense of oneness, otherwise you will frustrate yourself and become disheartened and discouraged (as you have been). Take the time to feel good first. To feel that open, expansive state of awareness and possibility first.
You generally don't do this (neither does anyone else in your life), but it is the key to happiness, the key to success. Oneness first and always. Oneness above all else. Oneness encompasses and enfolds all else anyway. love your life. Be fully absorbed in what you're doing. Give it your full attention, and time extends endlessly, flows effortlessly, and things happen right on time.
Don't worry about anything. Keep doing what delights, and leave the rest to itself. There is a vast game afoot. Play your game as you like, and thoroughly enjoy it.
That's the secret to success: remembering that it's all a game, and it's supposed to be fun, to be fully engaging — although even disengagement is an option; it's just another sort of experience.
So, when you fully engage with it, the game becomes delightful because it is responsive. It's intended to be — in fact, it always is — interactive. And for the best, most satisfying and delightful experience, it's best played from a sense of oneness. Because it's interactive and responsive.
Slow down. There's no hurry. In fact, pushing past this moment is what keeps you bound to your impatience, frustration, and discouragement. All there is is this moment. So, how do you want to spend it?
Question: But doesn't what happens in this moment determine what happens in the next, and the next, and the one after that? Doesn't what I think and what I do in this moment determine my future?
Answer: Yes and no. When you come to realize that all you have is this moment, and you determine to spend it enjoying yourself, in lively or otherwise lovely pursuits, whether mental or physical, you inevitably experience endlessly joyful, lively, lovely moments — until you choose differently in this moment — every moment being this moment, as you can only ever exist in the present, in this moment.
You can imagine yourself existing in future moments, but really you are having that experience in this moment, not in some future moment. So, enjoy this (and every) moment, and always be aware that this game is a game, it's supposed to be great fun, and everything in it is responsive, to your thoughts as well as your actions.
And as your actions almost always stem or arise from your thoughts, it's really a nonphysical game, where intentions, emotions, desires (for or against) hold sway. You play this game with your mind more so than with your hands and feet. So, you set the stage with your desires — for and against.
The game shows no partiality; whatever you give your attention to is what you'll experience foremost. Focus on pain and limitation, and you'll primarily experience pain and limitation. Focus on beautiful, lively, lovely things, and you'll primarily experience beautiful, lively, lovely things.
It's immaterial what you call it — law of attraction, law of attention, or nothing at all — because it's all the same thing. The game is responsive, because the universe and every particle in it, is responsive, according to its nature.
But don't try to direct everything with your mind. That's a recipe for frustration and disappointment. This game is vast and vastly more intricate than you can grasp with your ordinary human awareness.
Focus simply on how you want to feel in this moment — delighted, satisfied, inspired, happy, glad, etc. — and let the game move the requisite pieces into place for you, based on where you are right now and what has come before.
Place no limits on anything material — i.e., let things unfold how and as they will — and don't try to orchestrate events. Simply focus on what you want to experience in this moment and then let things unfold.
Note that you are a responsive element yourself, so the game will move you (inspire you to move) in order to respond to your desires in this moment.
And change the way you talk about what you want, even (especially) in your thoughts. Instead of “I want…,” say “I am…” or “I have…” This helps you shift into the mode of the things you desire more quickly. It also acknowledges that you already have whatever it is you desire in its not-yet-physical form.
All that remains, then, is for the universe, our source, to bring it into physical form for you (and with you).
All there is is this moment.
How do you want to spend it?
