It is the metaphysical belief that you create your reality, consciously or unconsciously.  Many of us believe to some degree that we can manifest what we want.  Do you believe this?  

It is not so pleasant to believe that we manifest what we do not want.  Can we have it both ways?  We want to believe we didn’t create what we didn’t want.  But, if you create the good stuff but don’t create the bad stuff, then the bad stuff is more powerful than you are.  How much can you influence the bad stuff if that is true?  You could be stuck with it!

Hard as it is to handle at times, adopting the simple belief that you create your reality, is empowering.  If you created it, you can undo that creation.   Acknowledging you had a hand in the bad stuff, well, it allows you to use that hand to let go of said bad stuff.

It also encourages you to look at the resistance you may have that keeps the bad stuff from being good stuff.  “What resistance?” you may ask.  I really want that relationship.  I want that income.  I want that success.   But if you want it instead of having it, there must be some resistance.  If you don’t have it you aren’t creating it.

And herein lies the whole issue with metaphysics, magic, and manifestation.  You may not be fully aware of what keeps everything from unfolding just as you want.  You probably can’t figure it out. However, you can discover it. 

Now, imagine having the situation you intend.  How does it feel?  You have the promotion, but fear the responsibility you expect.  You found the partner, but now you must compromise about your house/pets/habits/vegan diet.  You published the book, but maybe face criticism.  You imagine the brilliant life but get some icky feeling you cannot define.

Address whatever it is if you can. Focus on whatever it that feeling is until it goes away or makes itself clear.   Redefine the intention until it is unmitigated good!  Enjoy
