How a Dream Becomes a Reality and The Important Role of Faith
So many people have asked me how I have managed to arrange my life so that I can spend 6 months a year in India, that I’ve decided to write about it as there hopefully are lessons for others to learn from this as well. Manifesting any new reality requires certain understandings of “the way things work” but Faith also plays an important role in making things work. So, as promised in the previous post, more details about Leveraging the Universe and Manifesting Reality.
I have done some thinking about the whole concept of turning dreams into reality. It is a fairly simple concept actually, but seeing it truly work is the amazing part. When we have a focused intention and can visualize it, and then release it completely to God and the Universe, our new reality begins to be created for us. The catch here is that we must TOTALLY release it, in complete Faith, knowing that it will be taken care of. The “how’s” are well beyond our human capabilities to imagine.
If we continue to “second-guess” the wisdom of the Universe, or mix fear into the equation, we sabotage the final outcome.
Asking each day for the best possible outcome to our prayers, our dreams, for our Higher Good and the Higher Good of all who come in contact with us, on all levels – asking for openness to accept and embrace ALL that comes our way in COMPLETE FREEDOM FROM FEAR – asking for the wisdom to “hear” all the messages we receive – is all we need to do to insure the successful manifestation of our dreams into reality.
In 2001, at the age of 54, when I quit my high paying job in hi-tech and decided to go off traveling following the travels of some of my children – I had no idea I would wind up in India. I certainly had no idea how I would find a new job upon my return. But I already understood the concept of Faith , and although I was a novice at the whole idea of manifesting dreams, and fear still played a part at times, things began to fall into place to my great amazement. And I then found myself, quite against my own intellectual understanding, traveling in India for 4 months.
This turned out to be the beginning of a love affair which has only grown more powerful over the years, and definitely not something I myself could have planned or imagined!
Upon my return, a job was “looking for me”!. And when family matters forced me to leave THAT job, I found myself in India again. This time with a free ticket manifesting itself for me.
The story continues – each time my finding my way to India for extended visits, almost without realizing what was happening. I began to understand that India would definitely be an integral part of the rest of my life. I continued to find work upon my return each time, always having the money necessary to provide for all my needs wherever I was, very often in surprising and completely unimaginable ways. I eventually took early retirement, again, without knowing for sure the “how’s” of the rest of my life, but with absolutely no fear or doubts that things would not work out.
Visualizing living in India was easy, as I dreamt of being there each and every day I was away. This is what true passion for an idea entails. Living with it on a daily basis, feeling it as if it had already manifested in your life – feeling it as reality – long before it has come to be a true “physical” reality. This is what makes it work. KNOWING that it is already in existence, waiting to happen at exactly the right time and in the right way for your Higher Good, according to Divine Will.
This works with anything. From small things like picturing a parking place where and when yo need it to manifesting a new home or life partner. All you need to do is determine the essence of what you want. Not the specifics. We are limited in our human awareness and mental abilities to understand what is truly best for our Higher Good, and when we limit God and the Universe with very specific, detailed “instructions”, we limit their ability to manifest for us the very best. Which is usually way beyond our imagination, something much better than we could ever imagine ourselves.
For example: when I began to imagine living in India, the place that came to mind was McLeodganj, where I had stayed and was familiar with. However, I never asked to spend 6 months of each year living in McLeodganj. I described the essences of McLeodganj in my prayers and meditations: mountains, lovely places to walk and be close to Nature, pleasant people, positive energies conducive to my personal growth and journey, comfortable living arrangements, good friends, etc. In the end, I was lead to Rishikesh where I discovered all of the above and much more including: better weather, beaches to bath on, cleaner city, less air-borne disease, better work opportunities, better and easier shopping facilities, easier to get to from Delhi, and the Ganga!. I could not have imagined all these things with my limited capabilities…in the end I received something MUCH better.
So, GO FOR IT! Determine what your true heart’s desire is, be completely honest with yourself, focus your intentions on the essence of what you want, visualize it, feel it as a part of your life, as something alive, and then release the vision to God and the Universe in complete freedom from fear and worry. Have Faith that from the moment you utter a sincere prayer, everything which follows is part of the answer to that prayer. Ask for guidance, clarity and direction from God, your Guides, the angels and for the wisdom to be open to receiving these answers, in any form they may present themselves – as well as the ability to flow with all that becomes available, no matter how strange it may seem at the moment.
Each moment is a wondrous blessing. Give thanks often during the day. Live in an attitude of gratitude and all things will flow lovingly to you.
In part II of this I will write about the problems in manifesting realities due to unclear intentions, or to the fact that we are confused about what we really want – or are even afraid of what we THINK we want.
with Love Light and JOY
