Manifestation and need for confirmation

QUESTION: Masters, would you kindly explain in detail about the process of physical manifestation of our wishes? What has the state of “Isness”* and gratitude to do with physical manifestation? Could you give a spiritual formula for instant (without time delay) manifestation where we know that we are the conscious creator of our own experience?

[* Note: for those unfamiliar with the term, “Isness” is what is going on right here, right now, whether I like it or not.]

ANSWER: We shall comment on your last question first. Why do you need confirmation or validation? Are you not going to continue to think you can do something unless you immediately know that you can? When you began school did you know instantly that you would graduate? Or did you stop after a day or two because you were not sure of your abilities instantaneously? Did you realize when you did graduate that you had consciously created that experience for yourself? No one else performed the learning or passed the exams for you.

Too many people out there talk about the ability to manifest as if there are no impediments to waving a magical wand and altering whatever you aim it at into whatever you wish. You are all very powerful beings, but since you entered physical form and chose to accomplish certain tasks while you were thus encapsulated, there are restrictions.

Souls decide that they will complete certain life lessons during their lifetimes and then come down with amnesia concerning these tasks. If one of your lessons is to experience poverty and want, your wishes alone to manifest plenty will not be fulfilled because of your own previous choices. You can work your way through school, get a great job, and find yourself with riches, but this would complete your lesson while manifesting out of thin air would not.

Physical manifestation of your wishes is possible with positive thought and intention if nothing stands in the way. The state of Isness, as you call it, is what others refer to as being awake or enlightened. You reach such a state when you have claimed all your powers, completed your lessons, and shed your fears. At that point nothing stands in your way or interferes with manifestation.

Fear and self-doubt sabotage your efforts to complete your desired creation. If the intention you release to the universe says “I would like to” or “I think I can,” you have already failed in your efforts. Both are equivocal and speak as much to failure as to success. Manifestation arises out of the unconditional intention to create. If your thoughts instead speak as if the action is already complete-“I am grateful for having created this opportunity”-it will appear.
