Spiritual Counseling – The Process of Personal Creation
Thoughts are not creative. In spite of what books such as “The Secret” have imparted, positive thoughts alone cannot create your reality. In truth, thoughts corrupt reality because they stem from the known. Memories and early conditioning are the source for most of our thoughts. Thought is a reactive, not an active component of creativity.
If your desire is to manifest from the heart, the first step is to determine how you feel about what you want to create. Stretch out with your feelings for the answer. They won’t lie to you. Take your mind out of the equation and let your heart do the discernment. The first lesson to learn about manifesting from the heart is to transcend your thoughts, your mind, and your ego. This means becoming completely present. It may take some time but when the answer finally comes, the universe will be screaming at you. You will KNOW that you were meant to do what has been presented before you. In fact, your belief in it will be so strong that you may feel as if you don’t even have a choice. It will be a lot like winning the lottery. The only choice you’ll have is what to do with your winnings. Your belief in your new venture will be the fuel that ignites the fire–and as long as you believe, the fire will burn brightly.
The third step is becoming grateful for the eventual achievement. Give thanks daily from your heart to the universe for giving you the opportunity to exercise your divine power as a co-creator. Write down in a journal everyday what you are grateful for as you move forward on your journey of heart-based creation. You’ll find that the more you pay attention to your daily blessings, the more you’ll be adding to your journal every day. In other words, the more you are grateful for what you have, the more the universe will bestow you with things to be grateful for.
After searching your feelings, and believing that your venture will work, the third step in the creative process is patience. Patience is the art of allowing. Because your belief will be so strong that your new venture (job, career, business) will be such a success that you’ll want it to happen overnight. But that’s where most people mess it up for themselves. They get in the way. Every creative process has its own natural time schedule and it is accurate down to the nanosecond. So if you’re impatient for results and you start rushing the process, causing stress and anxiety for yourself and others, then it will stall the natural flow of the creativity. Not only that, you’ll get serious push-back from the universe in more ways than you can handle. So the key here is to be patient and allow the creative process to unfold on its own volition.
The fifth step in the act of manifesting is persistence. Don’t give up and don’t take no for an answer. Remember, your belief is the fuel for the fire of your personal heart-based creation. Hindrances and doors being slammed in your face are simply part of the creative process. No one who has become a success at anything has enjoyed an effortless ride from the bottom all the way to the top. In fact, most of the time you’ll experience at least one occasion where it will seem as if you’ve failed completely. But don’t believe it if this happens. Proceed knowing that the universe is constantly conspiring in your favor. If a door closes, be still and patiently wait for another door to open. It will. Keep the faith in your venture and it will keep its faith in you. See your vision through to the end. If you’ve followed these steps in their proper order and in the way they’ve been described, then your ego-less, heart-based venture will be a guaranteed success.
