I came across a couple of quotes by coaches of LOA this week and was truly intrigued by two particular statements:
1. ‘You would manifest fastest if you forget about your desire altogether’.
2. ‘Manifestation happens when you distance yourself from your desire’.
                         I personally and logically do not believe in the first statement at all and find only conditional plausibility in the second one. I can explain why. Let me start by reflecting on the first statement about ‘forgetting’ your desire. You can only manifest what resonates with you  at all levels – Conscious, Subconscious and Unconscious. This would mean you become one with your desire, but without getting obsessed with it– I can’t stress enough on the last bit and have written in detail about it in my previous posts.* In other words, Let go of over thinking about your desire, but that doesn’t mean you forget it completely.So, emotionally, philosophically, psychologically or by any other science you might know, it is not possible to forget what has become one with you!  Any reader who is sceptical about my introspective experience should try the theory of completely forgetting what they would like to manifest and please share with me if manifestation still occurred. We may momentarily think of a wish and forget about our thought and it comes true suddenly. This process is more in the realm of intuition, gut feeling or premonition: something that was already destined to happen and you catch a glimpse of it before it actually materialises. For example, you were thinking of a friend whom you had not seen for a long time and left that thought in the same moment, but then the very next day you ran into the person out of blue. This is quite different from consciously desiring and deliberately attracting the embodiment of our wish, which would require karma or action from us and would most probably involve making alternations to the very make up of our mindset. *   
                           Now, I would analyse the second statement about ‘distancing’ from your desire. So long distancing mean to let go of obsessiveness, then I agree with the theory as it restores positivity. But if this also refers to keeping your desire apart or at bay from your own self, then there is a problem in believing this claim. I can explain with an example: A good parent brings up the child by giving him more attention in the initial period of growing up, then gradually distances that care to let the child develop independently into adolescence and adulthood . This is healthy child-rearing. Similarly, you need to give every possible attention to your desire when it is being born- analyse it thoroughly and then nurture it. Once you have seen the first leaves sprouting out of the soil of your belief, you can relax and enjoy the connection with self and thus God; the plant would flourish and bear fruit within the vortex of your belief automatically. This is the process of letting go and manifesting, without necessarily thinking about the desire every moment of the day once you’ve reached this level of clarity. This stage is reached through meditation.*
                           As always, I write my posts based on my own personal experiences and not regurgitating what I’ve read or heard by others. However, there have been a few theorists of LOA who have indeed influenced me too initially. So, if this post resonates with any of my readers, please leave a feedback for me. Thank you.

I’ll pick from my last post about how to train the conscious to take the lead over the sub-conscious and talk about an easy method to achieve this.
                            Consider your conscious self to be like a post office and your thoughts are the letters (details) , along with your feelings like the post cards (descriptive and concise). Whatever you’ll write and whichever scene you’ll drop in the post box, only that would be received by the sub-conscious.
                           So, the process of Law of Attraction starts at the thought level– as the brain never sleeps while we are alive, we don’t stop thinking and thus ceaselessly attract and manifest that attraction. In order to attract the right goal we need to think right. Positive thought begets positive feeling. One of the effective ways to enhance positivity is by regularising the process of thinking in both cases: thinking too much on one issue or cramping up too many thoughts in a small space of time. The dearer the wish, the slower the pace of thinking and the deeper the feeling shall be. There is a lot of truth in the old saying, ‘ Rush is the action of devil’.
                       As an effective way to promote good digestion and metabolism, dieticians recommend that one should chew solid food 32 times and obviously soft food in proportion. The same way, certain decisions require deeper thought and other mundane choices require lower emotional engagement. For example, I need to ‘chew’ on my thoughts slowly while deciding what is the real aim of my life but I would decide quicker whether I should have toast or cereal for my breakfast. So, when you are finalising your desire, slow right down so your choice makes your life abundant and is not just a temporary quick fix. This requires thought engagement; thought engagement requires introspection; introspection requires a 360 degree analysis of your goal and finally all this would require time and focus. Please be kind to yourself and make patience your virtue to achieve success. Here meditation becomes relevant and in fact, mandatory.
                       Therefore when I heard and read about the so-called methods to manifest instantly I didn’t completely buy the concept, unless you have achieved the level of focus and instant visualisation for comparatively lower impacting manifestations, like ‘I missed my bus and would hope for the next one soon so I am not late for work’, etc . However, prior to  achieving even this goal you would have had developed your level of meditation, involving patience and thus, time. If you want to manifest your life long desire then I would say that ‘anything and everything is achievable’ provided your preparations are thorough. So, don’t rush yourself. Remember the 32 bites.
                       Once your conscious starts acting on these thoughts, feel that your letter is written and the post card signed. Your sub-conscious will  receive the post and you’ll be transported into the vortex. At this level, manifestation is inevitable. Just don’t shy away from investing a sincere effort in to it.
