&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Thank you, Freewil, for sharing such a powerful reminder!&amp;nbsp; To add to it...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, I was listening to a Wayne Dyer interview, and he quoted Patanjali who said, &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;By passionately believing in what doesn&amp;#39;t exist, we create it.&amp;nbsp; And that which we call the non-existent, has just not been sufficiently desired.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, may steadily hold our focus until we manifest the deepest desires of our heart.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      What a helpful post! It becomes easy to recognize the power of the mind for creation when we realize that at a sub-atomic level all matter is made up of the same base materials, energy and vacuum. I like to think of the positive thought process as the Energy and the negative as the vacuum. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      What is the most important factor in Conscious Creation?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The concept of Conscious Creation is now a well-accepted buzzword in&lt;br /&gt; a variety of metaphysical circles; however, despite the&lt;br /&gt; proliferation of this material, it seems many are still unable to&lt;br /&gt; achieve the success they would like to use these principles. Why is&lt;br /&gt; this so, and is there a missing component that is largely being&lt;br /&gt; overlooked? What is the most important factor in Conscious Creation?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Answer:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The main missing ingredient is focus and consistency of effort. In&lt;br /&gt; your modern lives, you are constantly surrounded by many, many&lt;br /&gt; choices. Choices about what to eat, where to eat, what to wear, how&lt;br /&gt; to wear it, different career and job opportunities, many, many&lt;br /&gt; different ways of expressing yourselves and filling your lives than&lt;br /&gt; in earlier periods of human history. Your abundance of choice leads&lt;br /&gt; many of you to be distracted by other possibilities, therefore&lt;br /&gt; lessening the amount of focussed energy being placed on the things&lt;br /&gt; that you say that you want. This is one of the reasons. Another&lt;br /&gt; reason is that for the most part, you simply allow life to happen to&lt;br /&gt; you. You turn on your radios and TV&amp;#39;s, you listen to the news, you&lt;br /&gt; react to it in one way or another and you go about your day. Very&lt;br /&gt; few of you start your day with any other purpose in mind than &amp;#39;go to&lt;br /&gt; work&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;take children to school&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;pick up laundry&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;go&lt;br /&gt; running&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;pay my bills&amp;#39;. In addition to these general &amp;#39;to do&amp;#39; lists&lt;br /&gt; that you have, you simply go about your day allowing life and the&lt;br /&gt; day to happen to you. However, each part of your life is a result of&lt;br /&gt; thought. If you think you have a hectic, unstable, disorganised&lt;br /&gt; life - take a look at your thoughts.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The most important aspect of learning to manifest is focus. What many&lt;br /&gt; do who first learn of their inherent ability to attract to themselves&lt;br /&gt; what they are wanting through thought, is to instantly think of the&lt;br /&gt; biggest, best, largest, most courageous dream or thing they could&lt;br /&gt; imagine, they instantly say &amp;quot; I want a large sum of money&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;I want&lt;br /&gt; to become a movie star&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;I want that luxurious home in the&lt;br /&gt; mountains&amp;quot;. For those of you who are unaccustomed to focussing your&lt;br /&gt; thoughts, these items will present great challenges. It is not that&lt;br /&gt; they are difficult, for it takes exactly the same amount of focus and&lt;br /&gt; decision to manifest a thimble as it does a castle. The difference in&lt;br /&gt; the manifesting of the thimble and the castle, are the beliefs you&lt;br /&gt; have about having and owning such things. So many of you are burdened&lt;br /&gt; with feelings of lack of self worth, the conflicts that arise out of&lt;br /&gt; manifesting your largest dreams, sabotage the manifestation of them&lt;br /&gt; in the initial stages. When you think of such grand things, such&lt;br /&gt; grand dreams, most of you immediately begin an inner dialogue in&lt;br /&gt; which you tell yourself of all the reasons why you may not have the&lt;br /&gt; thing you have dreamt of. You cite examples, you remember all the&lt;br /&gt; other &amp;#39;failures&amp;#39; from the past, the &amp;#39;failures&amp;#39; of friends and&lt;br /&gt; perhaps even try to convince yourself that the higher path, or the&lt;br /&gt; spiritual path, is to go without and to learn how to be satisfied&lt;br /&gt; with what you have. Although we would agree that being satisfied&lt;br /&gt; with where you are is a beneficial quality to develop, but&lt;br /&gt; satisfaction is not the same as stagnation!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; It is not that we are offering to you that you should not think big,&lt;br /&gt; that is the last idea we would want you to gain from our answer.&lt;br /&gt; However, what we are saying is, you need to practice deliberate&lt;br /&gt; creation, and we suggest that you start this with the creation of&lt;br /&gt; your day. As we have already said, for the most part, you simply&lt;br /&gt; allow your day to happen to you. In order to prepare yourself for&lt;br /&gt; creating your life&amp;#39;s dream, start with creating a day, and do it&lt;br /&gt; consciously. For example, as you awaken each morning you can say to&lt;br /&gt; yourself &amp;quot;today I wish to learn more about what I love and more&lt;br /&gt; about what excites me&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;today I wish to discover more of my&lt;br /&gt; talents&amp;quot;. The list of possibilities is endless. Note this, the&lt;br /&gt; MOMENT that you make this statement; you have launched a new&lt;br /&gt; creation. As you say these words and INTEND to experience &amp;#39;more of&lt;br /&gt; what you love&amp;#39;, your soul then sets about brining you those&lt;br /&gt; opportunities. As you shift your focus on life away from being&lt;br /&gt; reactive beings, in other words, simply responding to&lt;br /&gt; what occurs in a day, and you become a creative being, setting forth&lt;br /&gt; your intention for the day, you ability and confidence increases.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; You may want to increase abundance in your life, as you make the&lt;br /&gt; statement as you awaken &amp;quot;today I wish to experience more abundance&amp;quot;,&lt;br /&gt; your perspective will begin to shift. As it shifts, you will first&lt;br /&gt; see the abundance that has always been there, as this happens, your&lt;br /&gt; focus shifts onto the positive side of having, instead of being&lt;br /&gt; focused on lack. As your focus shifts on having, you invite more&lt;br /&gt; abundance to come into your life, you start manifesting new things.&lt;br /&gt; The first stage of all manifesting is to shift your perspective so&lt;br /&gt; that you can see that the thing you want is already there, perhaps&lt;br /&gt; in a different form, but the essence already exists. For example,&lt;br /&gt; for many of you, money represents freedom. As you shift your focus,&lt;br /&gt; you will see more aspects of the freedom already present in your&lt;br /&gt; life. You will begin to see other riches, abundance in the form of&lt;br /&gt; love, friendship and other gifts.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Successful manifesting takes two ingredients, focus and self worth.&lt;br /&gt; It is also important to remember that in your world of opposites,&lt;br /&gt; each subject has two sides, giving each thing you want to manifest a&lt;br /&gt; lack side. In other words, there is money, and the lack of it, there&lt;br /&gt; is success and failure, there is health and there is a lack of&lt;br /&gt; health. What we observe, is that the majority of you are focused a&lt;br /&gt; great deal of your time upon the lack side of every important&lt;br /&gt; subject in your life. You remember the criticism of one, but you&lt;br /&gt; forget the praise of one hundred. We give you this promise, if you&lt;br /&gt; can focus on what you want, and hold that focus intensely over a&lt;br /&gt; period of 21 days, reviewing and updating you vision each 7 days,&lt;br /&gt; you will be well on your way to creating what you want, it will be&lt;br /&gt; yours! Remember, the key is to hold your focus!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; What stops you from holding this focus are a couple of things.&lt;br /&gt; Firstly, there is the fear of disappointment, the thought that&lt;br /&gt; perhaps holding all this desire and focus may just simply lead to a&lt;br /&gt; greater sense of disappointment than before. When this comes up,&lt;br /&gt; most simply stop wanting the thing they say that they want to have.&lt;br /&gt; The other great saboteur of conscious creation is allowing your mind&lt;br /&gt; to wander off into all the &amp;#39;logical&amp;#39; reasons why you can&amp;#39;t have what&lt;br /&gt; you want. You start saying to yourself: I am too old, too fat, too&lt;br /&gt; uneducated, too young, not talented enough etc, etc. You then begin&lt;br /&gt; to shift your focus onto the not having.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; For those of you who have been aware of the universal laws of&lt;br /&gt; creation, having a deeper sense that you are creator, your greatest&lt;br /&gt; challenge is to live this knowledge fully. The belief that you create&lt;br /&gt; your own reality is relatively new to this generation; therefore, it&lt;br /&gt; has yet to gain wider acceptance. Until the population as a whole&lt;br /&gt; gains this understanding, those of you who are aware of your ability&lt;br /&gt; to manifest, are constantly challenged by the popular view that you&lt;br /&gt; are a victim of random events and that life, like the universe, in&lt;br /&gt; unpredictable and has a much greater power than you do. So many of&lt;br /&gt; you are still believing that the Universe can exert itself against&lt;br /&gt; you, even believing that misfortune and &amp;#39;bad luck&amp;#39; is perhaps&lt;br /&gt; a &amp;#39;karmic debt&amp;#39; that needs to be paid off as recompense for some&lt;br /&gt; nefarious deed in the distant past of a past life. It is not that&lt;br /&gt; that you are not creating consciously, for indeed you are. So many&lt;br /&gt; of you habitually choose to deny yourself, deny your divinity and to&lt;br /&gt; deny your ability. This is conscious, it is a choice. When you do&lt;br /&gt; not get what you want, you often go to great lengths to justify why&lt;br /&gt; you cannot have the things that you want. Even those who love you&lt;br /&gt; will support you in these beliefs concerning what you can and cannot&lt;br /&gt; have. They will tell you that there is a lot of &amp;#39;competition&amp;#39; or&lt;br /&gt; that the &amp;#39;market&amp;#39; is slow, or that your chosen path is&lt;br /&gt; always &amp;#39;difficult&amp;#39; and a &amp;#39;challenge&amp;#39;. What you then consciously&lt;br /&gt; choose to do is to agree with them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; It is not so that you are not consciously creating, much of your&lt;br /&gt; self-deprecation and diminution is done regularly and consciously. Do&lt;br /&gt; you dare to be different? Be not afraid of your light, of your&lt;br /&gt; greatness, you are a child of God, you can create what you want!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Wishing all joyous creation;;;freewil&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
