What I have noticed is other opportunities presenting themselves, and obviously promoted by my conscious/subconscious requesting: In response to the thread by Inphered, I suggested acting upon the presentation of a tunnel image. Privately, I was thinking, "Why don't I ever get tunnels?! That would be so convenient!"
I couldn't believe it! Less than a week later, I rolled over to go back to sleep one morning and was staring straight into a spiraling tunnel!

I find Affirmations VERY important. I use them EVERY night, no matter what. A member of the Astral Pulse posted a technique to quiet the "chatter" that I found to work really good. You just ask yourself while your eyes are shut "What is my next thought going to be". For some reason this halts the thoughts for awhile. I laughed when I first heard it mentioned, but found that it actually works "most" of the times.
Ask and you shall receive, lol. Your intent/wish came true. It's too bad winning the Lottery doesn't work that way, lol! :-D
It's always good to practice what we preach, but sometimes it just doesn't work the same for us. :wink:
Congrats on the successes! :-)
It is indeed bad affirmstions don't wotk thst way LH. i adopted the affirmation technique from reading many of your posts, and in the previous weeks I believe i've come to see how they work.
I.e. i wanted to go somewhere in the astral were i could a meet someone new so i could make a friendship with that being and perhaps go visit sometimes just for the sake of it and verification that it remains there.
After 2 and a half, almost 3 nights of telling myself this clearly while i wandered off to sleep "i am going to a place where i'll meet new beings and make a new friend" (all what i was expecting was, some new random projection where i could just merely talk to beings and literatelly mske s friend so i could visit him/her in future projections, because i've never done this).
Days passed, and the so wanted projection never came. The 3rd weekend a girl friend i'd been seeing very frequently told me to go to her place because she was giving a reunion because she was leaving the country.
To my amazement, after 4 hours there, while talking with all of her unique friends that were just people i see for the first time and seeing that they are VERY different from the kind of people i'm used to meet, even randomly. I honestly can say i fet enlightned for a sec while in there. I realized where my affirmstions/prayers/focused-mind-talk words had come to show. It just occured to me 'since i know that i am just projecting right now, just as i am projecting in my dreams, aware or unaware of it' the manifestations had manifested itself with me previously unaware of it.
A complex set of things unrelated to me happened over a period of time so i could litteraly feel in this reality the "i am going to a plsce where i'll meet new beings and mske a new friend" feeling.
She left and i got a new friend.
A concequence...?
My thoughts after having had that same sensation/feeling a 2nd and 3rd experience are...
Reality works in very complex mysterious ways, almost unthinkable, very hard to imagine, but you can 'control/direct' them better, if your are more, and i cant stress this enough, more ESPECIFIC with this things. You may not get the EXACT thing you asked for, but IMO out of 3 experiences (not many i know), you'll get something that CAN make you feel JUST like what you asked for, and you ALLOW it, and it will be given in a way thst can help you to GROW UP as the being you are at the present moment.
Also, just a side idea, depending on your good/bad intent behind the affirmation, careful what you ask for, you migh just get it. :-D
Any thoughts? How do affirmations work for you? :?
I was in sales when I was younger. I was working for a door to door sales team that was VERY aggressive. We traveled all over the US and Canada. We stayed in nice hotels and condos, but like I said this was a VERY aggressive sales team. Today I don't think companies like this would exist. My boss probably broke every labor law there was. He was very cruel and greedy.
You either got your sales or you went home. Every day before we left to work, we had a group meeting. In this meeting we would state quotas and goals for the day. Every Sunday, in a bigger meeting, that was suit and tie, we would set weekly goals.
I found that if I mentally set my quotas the night before, that I had a really good chance of hitting them. I used affirmations for this "I would say, I will get ____ sales for a quota of ____. Then I said I will achieve this. Many times for some reason the word "not" would appear. I always visualized the words I was mentally saying as well. When this happened, I would load the word not into mental cannon I created and shoot it against a mental brick wall and watch it disintegrate. Once it did, "Not" was not a option.
I learned that visualizing and affirmations work very well.
Intent is intent, it works in all realities! :wink:
Also you are saying that you didn't have success with this for 2-3 nights. I've been doing this "religiously" for almost 3 years now. Every night, regardless! :-)
It takes time to implement a new "Program".
Lol, sorry I dont know how I wrote wrong such a key word like that, its weeks, not nights.
I say two and a half, becuse she told me about the reunion that wednesday's week, and the event took place that saturday, and i had started that affirmation exacty 3 weeks ago (21 days). Maybe they're all just coincidences. But something taught me not to believe in just coincidences.
I'm trying to insert more visualizing since guys told me how wrong i was about thinking that i couldn't visualize.
Everyone can do it perfectly but we dont realize this earlier.lol
Thank you for the correction idk how i missed that.
I'll work on some very short, specific affirmations and see how's it goes
Rakkso,
Can you see how expectations get in the way of our awareness? I believe you "caught your snap" in that apartment. Most people would have totally missed how they got exactly what they were asking for because they only expected it to occur when "dreaming".
