I was driving back to my old house to pick up some
stuff the other day and guess what happened? ...
-- I got stuck in traffic for nearly 3 hours! :(
Later that evening, I was talking with my friend
about manifestation and the power of belief ...
"Matt, YOU manifested that traffic jam!" he told me
with conviction.
"Oh really?!? So I suppose if I lean over and slap
you HARD across the face - YOU manifested the pain?" ;)
I think there's a real danger of getting silly with
this manifestation stuff ...
Of course, it was my decision to move house and it
was my choice to travel on that day and time. I'm
not saying that we don't contribute to our personal
circumstances and the situations in which we find
ourselves.
But for me, the idea that I manifested the traffic
jam is an irrational misinterpretation of the law of
attraction. Yes, we're all part of one energy field,
and yes, there are many interconnections and
relationships we cannot begin to fathom.
Certainly when it comes to deciding what's POSSIBLE
in your life and in the realm of human interactions,
we know our beliefs and expectations play a HUGE part.
Believe you can and you will.
If you believe and expect to create the life you want,
odds are you will find a way. Amen my brothers and
sisters ... no arguments there :)
Before you meet with that friend or go into that
meeting, if you have the expectation (or belief) that
things will work out, that WILL cause your odds of
success to shoot up dramatically.
Sure we create our reality through what we EXPECT
and what we PROJECT. Beyond that, I'll leave it to
you to decide what's sensible and what works for you.
Let me know what you think by commenting on my blog:

For me, the important thing is NOT whether I created
something "bad", it's that I take responsibility for
what I want to create in the present. Whether or not
I manifested the traffic jam to me is irrelevant.
While I was sitting in that traffic jam, the only
question that really mattered was, "What do I NOW
choose?" Same thing applies to you in your life when
something "bad" happens.
In my case, I said to myself...
"Yes, I'm stuck in traffic but I now allow the
traffic to move again freely. I now choose to let go
of any frustration or restlessness. I now choose to
relax and focus on my breathing and enjoy the
stillness of being here."
However far you want to take this stuff, remember
never to punish yourself for your current reality.
Punishing yourself only makes things worse and does
nothing to turn things around. Instead, accept
responsibility for what you choose from where you are.
And if you are seeing any repeating patterns in your
life that you don't want, well maybe it's time to
flip open the hood and take a look at the beliefs
that are driving you.
Amanda Goldston is the creator of wonderful process
for clearing limiting beliefs that I've been working
with recently (and she's this month's featured guest
at SpiritualGrowthMonthly.com).
I recommend you take a look at her site and read
about her technique for clearing limiting beliefs:

I've been working with Amanda's technique recently
and it's been working really well. The first time I
tried it I fell so deeply asleep I couldn't remember
a thing but I woke up with the sense that a lot had
shifted!
Go see what I'm talking about right away. You'll be
amazed at the world you can construct, once you put
those limiting beliefs behind you. Here's the link
