Whenever you have a desire that you want to see manifest, there is a subtle nuance in the Law of Attraction play book you need to be aware of. As I've shared with you in a previous post, you start with the basics - Ask, Receive and Allow. You ask through your desire for what is wanted, Source delivers it immediately and then you allow it by staying out of resistance. The process is precise and never fails unless, of course, you dump sugar into the gas tank. One way we unknowingly sabotage this failsafe process is by diluting the energy that is gathering momentum. We talk too much – a lesson I learned early on and promptly ignored for years.
When I was growing up, I was taught to share. There were starving children in Africa who had nothing, I was reminded, so not only were we to be grateful for everything we had, we had to share the goods. That was fine by me except when it came to potato chips. I was a hoarder.
We lived a 60s era tri-level with a finished basement where the family watched weekly episodes of Gunsmoke and celebrated holidays. One day when mom was on the upper level, folding doilies or something, I had a craving for potato chips. I had eaten all of the small bags in my personal stash but I knew the kitchen cabinets held the mother lode. The chips were off limits, it being so close to dinner time, but I was driven. The only thing that stood between me and that beautiful foil bag with the bold red letters was my five-year old brother Tommy. That kid followed me everywhere. If I were going to get my way I’d have to break my hoarder’s code of silence and include him in the conspiracy.
We moved swiftly. Up to the kitchen, into the pantry and back to the basement with the prize. The best hiding place I knew was in the family room in the smallest closet in the house. Wedged between dusty boxes of memorabilia, we devoured the contents. "Now you know you can’t say a word to mom," I said sternly and he nodded in agreement. Moments later I hear, "Mom, guess what we did." I don’t remember the punishment but the betrayal was what stuck in my craw. If I’d kept my mouth shut, I would have had the whole bag to myself.
You don’t have to be a physicist to know there is power in focused energy. When we are working with the Law of Attraction – Ask, Receive, Allow – this first step, Ask, is loaded with dynamite. It literally explodes into the universe in a burst of desire that is fueled by passion. The desire is inconsequential. It could be for more money, more love or more potato chips but it’s crucial to keep the energy focused. Once the desire is launched, it gyrates into the universe and like a magnet, begins to attract every necessary component to bring it into being. A sure-fire way to torpedo the budding manifestation is to tell everyone you know what you are up to.
Does this include your best friend too? That depends. If your friend is a worrier, you’ll hear all the reasons why what you have asked for couldn’t possibly happen then off you go into doubt. If your friend is of like mind and a student of the Law of Attraction, she could be an asset and an excellent co-conspirator. Remember to be wise about who you share your dreams with, including your brother.
