We can’t manifest dreadful things, right?..

[CosmicWonder]

Hii all,

I get that if we focus on the negatives of life it doesn’t help or stop the flow. But I feel that I won’t ever incarnate
with such a brain when I would be forced into negative spaces.
I get that we all get our challenges. Maybe to discover contrast or some other reason.
But isn’t all that is now is something we ever wanted?

Much kindness

'Wanted' ? Or rather 'agreed to'... before we came here we saw clearly things we needed to learn.
(I know this about myself having had a 'vision' of me before coming here.)
Now Rob Schwartz has ventured into research on this:
his many interviews are all over youtube or read one of his books...really helps understand why we have the lives we have

Here's a longer one from 'Buddha at the Gas Pump'.

Yeah I’m very spiritual myself. But everyone with a reasonable amount of control in my life to change
what is happening, is very down to earth. Thank you for sharing

In a way this illustrates the conflict between the practical act of living/surviving and spiritual aspirations and beliefs.
If you don't confront (let alone focus on) the negatives of your life you'll never do anything about them. It's quite something to be aware of them as many sufferers accept their lot without necessarily seeing negativity.

Even so, some spiritual practices such as this LoA stuff warn you against letting negativity into your thoughts/living even if you're trying to dismiss them by focusing on positive needs - a bit of an irony to me. The wish to do or be or gain better is shadowed by current inadequacies that are inherently difficult to avoid.

I've always believed that to be "whole" we have to encounter our darker sides and bring what we're shown into the light. It can be uncomfortable. Honesty is critical but that's a separate problem of interpretation! It may be impossible to act against something but it gives the sufferer the knowing it's there and there may be ways to live with it. It might be possible to do something about it. To me this is the gradual process of purification... getting to know your Self.

As a gnostic and someone who's done/doing their best to "climb the Tree" the refinement is important to me. When my time's up here I'll return to the world of spirit to be cleansed then await my next assignment if there is one. What that could be I haven't a clue or even a wish. I have just the vaguest recollections of the last one assuming I'm not bluffing myself I had a past life.

Different people have different views about how this system works.... based on what, I have to wonder!

Thanks...

I keep on wondering not only how to balance things between spiritual and physical, but also how to find the true solution each moment. Often it’s something emotional or social for me. Very odd somehow..

You can manifest as dreadful things as you want.

Make no mistake, people do it every day.

It is, like Miss H spoke of, about what you came here and incarnated to experience. Expansion of consciousness.

When in doubt about anything? Choose kindness.
If that's too hard ---choose humor.
(In every situation, no matter who is involved. Problems will be cut in half.
Life is actually quite simple.)


Hi Ciona, haven't seen you in awhile, guess we run in diff circles!

Could I remind you ...as long as you truly believe that ---you will be correct.
