Dear Joshua,
I want to share one of these perfect pearls of manifestation that happened to me on Friday.
On the cover of a trade magazine that I receive every month at work, I noticed a woman that bore an uncanny resemblance with Sade, the famous singer from the 80s. So, I showed the magazine to my colleagues, saying: "Don't you think this woman looks like Sade?" The first couple of people I asked this question to replied that they didn't know who Sade was. So, I joked that they must be too young. Finally, one of my "older" colleagues gets to see the cover and agrees with me that this woman is indeed a convincing lookalike for the singer. Then, I googled Sade to show her picture to my "younger" colleagues, and they, in turn, admitted that the degree of likeness was strange. So, to cut a long story short, we spent a fun moment speaking about and focusing on, Sade.
A few hours later, I am back at home and relaxing on a Friday evening. I am on my phone taking a look at my Instagram feed. Guess what I see pop up on my screen? A picture of Sade! And not just any picture, but a similar black and white picture to the one I had chosen to illustrate my point to my colleagues. It was posted by an account I follow called "Impossible cool", that shows cool black and white pictures of random celebrities. They rarely post, and never more than one picture at a time. I mean, what are the odds? I had the most amazing rush of goosebumps when I saw this. It is a small innocuous incident, but it literally stopped me in my track.This was a wonderful synchronicity that could restore anyone's faith in the law of attraction if it ever was flagging.
I guess this illustrates how the absence of resistance can bring a vibrational match into our reality. But how can we maximise the benefits of noticing these occurrences in our day to day life? How can they help us reduce resistance for the other things that we are trying too hard to manifest? In other words, how can we replicate the ease with which apparently random manifestations happen with subjects that are more deliberate?
With love,
Arnaud
Dear Arnaud,
Without resistance, you would manifest whatever you truly wanted into your reality. The fact is that you have already manifested a lot of what you truly want. You hold resistance to some things and you are more of an allower in other areas. The key is your desires. Are they the things you truly want or what you think you want? If you put forth no resistance, all the things you truly want would flood your reality and you would exist in a state of bliss. However, you do offer resistance and thus you create a life of lack and abundance at the same time. How do you release your resistance? By releasing your attachment to what you think you want.
All that you truly want was set forth in the intentions you made prior to your birth. These intentions are general, yes, but if they were to manifest in your reality, you would feel very good indeed. If you received abundance, you would feel good (as long as you understood that you were receiving abundance). If you received joy, love, harmony, freedom, etc., you would feel very good (as long as you perceived that you were actually receiving these things). So think about this now. Are you free? Are you abundant? Do you have access to feelings of love and joy? The answer lies in your perception of reality and really nothing else.
If you perceive that you are free, then indeed you are free and this will feel good. If you perceive that you are limited or restricted by someone or by the conditions of your life, then you feel limited and thus you attract limitation. Do you see how the system works? The conditions cannot make you feel anything you do not already feel. You must feel for it, believe it, and know it before you can be shown it. If you are not ready for freedom, because you perceive yourself to be limited, then freedom cannot exist in your reality. However, if you utterly and absolutely understand your own personal freedom (because you have the freedom to choose your thoughts and perspectives), then you open up the doors to even more freedom. This is because you have already established that you are free and as a free human being, you attract a reality that corresponds to how you feel. The resistance comes in the form of your opinion to the contrary of whatever you want. "Am I free? Let's take a look. No, I'm not free because of this or that or the other." Or... "Yes, I am free because I can choose any thoughts and no one can make me think anything. I am in control of my perspective. I can perceive my life in an empowering way or a limiting way and in that, I create my reality."
The conditions are simply a reflection of your vibration. It's a feedback mechanism. That's all that the conditions mean. The conditions are a reflection of a vibration that has already been offered. It's history, so to speak. If you choose to create something different, you do so by perceiving reality in a new way, not by changing the conditions. The truth is that your quest for anything you think you want causes you to resist what is when the conditions look as if they are not working out to bring you what you want. You feel fear. You feel negative emotion. These are indicators of resistance based on limiting beliefs. If you did not care about the things you thought you wanted and just agreed with the conditions as they are, you would enter a state of allowing. Nothing matters. Nothing means anything. There is no wrong, only right. There is no good or bad, simply preferences. There is no real danger, only illusions of danger. There are some limiting beliefs and those will be uncovered in manifestation events. The truth is that everything is working out to bring you everything you truly want and need, rather than what you think you want and need.
With our love,
We are Joshua
