Why Isn’t It Here Yet?

One aspect of the deliberate creation process that I found challenging initially – and still catch myself doing – is, that after launching a desire, I’d keep looking at ‘what is’, and noticing that it had not yet manifested. And then I’d begin to doubt that the process was working at all! This is what Abraham calls ‘taking score too soon’, and seems to be quite a common behaviour among deliberate creators, especially in the early days of working with this approach. But it is a pattern that, if allowed to become a habit, can thoroughly sabotage your manifestational efforts, because by continually focusing on the absence of what you want, you’re creating resistance that’ll hold it apart from you, perhaps indefintely!

With many desires, it’s pretty easy to just formulate them, then let them go and not give them any more thought. This is one of the most effective ways to manifest, since you’re not contradicting the energy of the desire by worrying, or doubting, or just wondering where it is. But unfortunately it’s not so easy to take that approach with money, since it’s such a pervasive part of our experience. Any absence or lack of it can be pretty hard to ignore or forget! So it can be all too easy to focus on the bills, or the feeling of not being able to afford what you want, and the problem is compounded for those many people who have never quite had enough, and have never known an abundance of wealth. It can seem difficult to change a resistant vibration to money when that resistance and lack is all you’ve ever known, all your family has ever known, and maybe all that most of your friends and acquaintances have ever known too. I know this from experience! But it’s vital to practice a new way of focusing, if you’re to allow the wealth you desire to manifest.

Abraham describes the situation as eloquently as always:

‘So as you are moving through your day and you notice that you have more desire or need for money than you actually have money, and a big bill has come, so you have this conflicting feeling where you want to spend it for this, but you should spend it for this, and even if you do pay it where it belongs there is not enough to really go around in the way you are wanting to. And in this frustrating moment of weighing the pros and cons of your experience, you fire off a rocket of desire big time.

You’ve asked in a very powerful way but the answer, even though its given, is not received because you are more aware of not having enough money then you are of having enough money. In your anxiety you are not in the receiving mode, in your anger or blame or guilt you are not in the receiving mode. In your awareness of not enough money you are not in the receiving mode for enough money so more money cannot come, not right now, nothing can change.

Now, you’ve asked, Source Energy hears you clearly, adores you fully, understands your worthiness entirely, and answers swiftly. So the answer is not just on the way, it is given. In other words, everything is lined up; the money SHOULD be there NOW. Why isn’t it!

Because you’re ornery. You’re worried, you’re frustrated. You’ve got your receiver set to a whole different channel. And so even though the circumstances are lined up, everything is there for you, you’re zigging while your stuff is zagging, and you say ‘nobody ever answers my request’. And we say, oh yes, your request is fully answered but you have just been confused about step 1(asking) and step 3 (allowing).

So the key is, once you become consciously aware that you want something different than what is, you have to through the power of your mind practice until you achieve a different vibration about that subject.

I used to fantasise about having more money all the time, and couldn’t understand why it wasn’t coming. I knew law of attraction worked, but was frustrated by my apparent inability to allow it to work for me. It wasn’t until I really began examining how I was feeling as I thought about money that things began to change. I became aware that even though I was focusing on what I wanted, and thinking ‘happy thoughts’, I often wasn’t actually feeling very happy! I was still mixing up my visualisation with my awareness of the lack in my experience.

But with time and practice, I got better at changing my vibration, and keeping a purer focus. This entire section of the site is, in effect, about ways of making that vibrational shift and coming into alignment with wealth on an energy level. There are many ways of doing this, and you’ll find the ones that work best for you, but if you’re not currently allowing the abundance you desire to flow, the essential first step to changing that is to really become aware of how you’re focusing when you think about the topic. Is the majority of your attention on what you want, or the lack of it? It’s sometimes quite a subtle distinction, and a lackful focus isn’t always obvious when you’re dealing with very entrenched habits of thought, but as always, your feelings will let you know what you’re doing with your energy. And once you get into the habit of examining your focus, it becomes much easier to spot when you’re focusing on lack, and to fork off in the opposite direction.

Best of all, this new awareness enables you to leave behind those worrying doubts about law of attraction and the whole creative process. It IS working for you, perfectly, right now! And if you can get your focus off lack, and onto what you want in a consistent way, you’ll have your manifestations. Even better, you’ll have the inner knowing that you’re a powerful creator with a true wealth consciousness – a new vibrational set point that can only attract more of what you desire.
