Last night I attended a play at the National Theatre in which a friend of ours was performing. The cast was young, brimming with enthusiasm and filled with the desire to just act. Money was not part of their motivation (at least, not in the short term). They were onlythere because of their love of acting.
I loved it. Their enthusiasm was papable and infectious. We, the audience, became caught up in the energ. and sent it back to them with equal measures of mutual enthusiasm and appreciation.
It reminded me of something that I read in a Marianne Williamson book many years ago. She counselled that whatever it is that we wish to do, we should just do it. We don’t need to wait to find a paid position, or particular circumstances we believe are necessary for the dream to fit our expectations and preconceptions. She says all we have to do is just do it (as the advertising slogan goes).
Why this is important, why doing something without consideration of the human and physical conditions or consequences is crucial to creating and manifesting our dreams, is explained by world renowned author and speaker, Gregg Braden.
Braden is acknowledged as a highly credible and qualified pioneer in the bridging of science and spirituality. His professional background and experience in the IT world gives him a unique take on things non-physical.
He explains how manifestation of desire works in his book The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits:
If we expect reality (or God/the matrix/spirit/the universe) to answer our prayers, then we must become in our lives the template for the things that we’re asking the atoms of reality to form. We’ve got to give the matrix something to work with.
The practical consequences and implications of this is that whatever it is we want, dream about, and aspire to, the first step towards its realisation is living as if it is already exists - because in reality and in fact it does exist as one of an infinite number of possibilities, which become visible and perceivable in the physical realm when we focus our attention on them.
So choose your dream and live as if it is already exists. Direct your focus to a detailed scenario - what it feels like, what it looks like, how your life is changed by it - and then let go of it, to allow the Universe to transform the potential into physical reality.
Do not ask when, where or how. Do not try to prescribe how it will all occur. Just find your dream, and live as if it is already your life. The Omnipotent and Omniscient Universe is more than capable of doing the rest.
