We can’t talk about anyone else’s experience of God, only our own. For us, the God/Universe/Source Energy (or whatever you may call it) has never been a fire-and-brimstone, fear-inspiring God. Our experience of God, and indeed our connection to this omnipresent and divine energy, has always been a relationship of pure love. No judgment, no expectation, no conditions: just a constant stream of unconditional devotion. We don’t have to go to a building to pray, meditate or worship. We don’t have to be in a group or congregation. Our connection to this extraordinary love source is the quiet voice within that, in the calm of our inner stillness, radiates a passion for life and all living things that is not of ourselves – it’s only accessed though the divine connection. In our journey so far, we have rarely seen displays of God in the places that are dedicated in God’s name. We’ve seen more of God in everyday life through small acts of kindness and expressions of compassion; in a smile, a laugh, a stream of tears and in a gentle softness despite life’s hardening within individuals we meet, no matter where they are in their life path. We see God in everything, in all living things, great and small. God is present not only in everything we see, but also in everything we cannot. The sheer presence of God is unmistakable, unshakeable and undeniable. We often hear people say things like, ‘Look at what the world has come to! God is nowhere to be seen.’ Our view is that we should look again, because there’s not one thing that you can see, touch, hear or feel where God is not present. We are never without God. God is everywhere. God is in all of us, connecting, sharing, loving and creating every moment of our existence. Our wish for you today is that you look at yourself and the world with eyes of divine love and be enveloped by the Godly love there is for you at any moment you choose to accept it. No matter what race, religion, colour, age, gender or sexuality you are, it’s available equally to all and, most importantly, it’s free. You need look no further than within yourself, for you are the very essence of God. Sending all of our love @bianca_biasi and @rebekahbiasi The Quirky Guru Online www.thequirkyguruonline.com CHAPTER 1 The 12 Universal Laws In recent times, there’s been an amazing mainstream awakening on the principles of the Universal Laws, the Law of Attraction and the power of gratitude. Like a wave, it has reached across the globe and the masses have learnt that they can be, do or have anything that they want. Many caught this wave and, despite the initial fast-paced results, after several months an inspirational wall was hit and they were left reeling, without knowing how to take the next step or how to get back on track. The excitement and empowerment that they had felt was now replaced with discouragement, irritation and doubt that the law even worked because they had struggled and failed to materialize their desires. We were inundated with people wanting to know how to get back into an inspired place in order to create. The three main questions asked were: Does the Law of Attraction really work? What am I doing wrong? and How do I use the law to get what I want? When we took a closer look at what had happened, it became clear that most people had misunderstood the key principles required to utilize the Law of Attraction effectively. This may have to do with some of the watered-down ways in which the Law of Attraction has been presented. We decided to write this book to bridge the gap between the basis of the Law of Attraction and deliberate manifestation (materializing what you want). We will also reveal some truths in order to remove the stumbling blocks in your path to deliberate creation. First things first: there are twelve main Universal Laws. The Law of Attraction is just one of those laws. It is important to have some understanding of the other laws in order to effectively use the Law of Attraction. Let’s clarify a few things first. What are Universal Laws? Universal Laws are the finite laws of nature that govern the entire cosmos. They facilitate the processes by which we grow, evolve, transform and thrive. They can also be referred to as natural laws or spiritual laws. There are twelve main natural or spiritual Universal Laws: The Law of Divine Oneness In simple terms, the Law of Divine Oneness means just that. We are all one and we are all connected to every living thing. We all stem from the same divine creator and we are all made up of the same source energy. We are intrinsically entwined with all that exists. The Law of Vibration The Law of Vibration states that everything in the cosmos is made up of vibrating energy, including ourselves. Quantum physics tells us this. In order to attract the things that we want, we need to align our vibration with it. We can do that through our thoughts and feelings, and we’ll talk more about that later on in this book. The Law of Action The Law of Action states that when you are inspired, you must take action. This does not mean that you need to work yourself to the bone or do as much hard manual labour as you can. It simply means that when your instinct tells you to do something, you need to do it. Note that you can’t just laze around daydreaming. When it’s time to act, you must act in order to create. The Law of Correspondence The Law of Correspondence means that whatever is going on with you internally is being reflected right back at you in your experience of the outside world. If you’re peaceful on the inside, you will lead a peaceful life and your experiences will reflect your peaceful state of being. On the flip side, if you’re an unhappy person on the inside, you will lead an unhappy life and your experiences will reflect your unhappy state of being. The Law of Cause and Effect The Law of Cause and Effect is very similar to the Hindu notion of karma. Essentially, your actions have consequences. If you act with kindness, you will receive kindness; if you act with deceit, you will experience deceit; and so on. The Law of Attraction The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that like attracts like. You attract that which you are. You are made of vibrating energy and your emotions dictate what frequency you are vibrating at. Through the Law of Attraction, you will attract events, circumstances, people and experiences that are vibrating at the same frequency as you. The Law of Compensation The Law of Compensation maintains the equilibrium and establishes balance within the Universe. Whatever the action, circumstance, or behaviour, an equal and opposite action, circumstance or behaviour is happening at the same time in another place. If there is war there is peace; if there is loss, there is also gain; if there is damage, there is also restoration. If there’s a heat wave in Australia, there’s a blizzard in Canada. If it’s nighttime in New Zealand, it’s daytime in the UK. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy states that energy has no beginning or end. It cannot be created or destroyed. It is in a constant state of transformation. The Law of Relativity The Law of Relativity states that you cannot define anything except by relating it to something else. You would not be able to define light, for instance, if it were not for darkness, or heat if it were not for cold. The Law of Polarity The Law of Polarity states that all things have an exact and equal opposite – up and down, left and right, happiness and sadness. To the same extent that one thing exists, the opposite of that thing exists in exactly the same intensity. The Law of Rhythm The Law of Rhythm states that all things vibrate and establish their own rhythms, cycles and stages of development. The orbit of the earth around the sun, the ebb and flow of the tides, the order and duration of the seasons, birth and death, sowing and harvesting, action and rest. It is the natural order. The Law of Gender The Law of Gender states that everything in nature has a male and a female quality and both are required for life to exist. Regardless of our physical gender, we all have both male and female aspects. The Ancient Egyptians in the matriarchal eras believed that only when the masculine and the feminine in each of us is balanced equally can true enlightenment occur. Now lets answer the three main questions: Does the Law of Attraction actually work? When understood and used correctly, the Law of Attraction absolutely works. It would not be known as a Universal Law if it were not so. ‘What am I doing wrong?’ and ‘How do I use the law to get what I want?’ Firstly, in mainstream terms, this law has been presented in a very diluted way and its effectiveness in your life at this stage can only be equal to your current understanding of it. We must fully understand what the Law of Attraction is and have some basic knowledge of the other Universal Laws if we want to be able to successfully implement it in our lives. You will discover in this book that the Law of Attraction works in conjunction with the other Universal Laws. As we have seen, the Law of Oneness states that we are all connected and the Universe operates from that connection. As the laws are a part of the Universe, they too are connected. In order to show you how the Law of Attraction functions, so that you can be, do or have whatever you want, we will be giving you information and tools based on principles from all of the laws in later chapters. CHAPTER 2 The Truth Now, to clear up some misconceptions and get to the heart of what you need to be aware of when using the Law of Attraction. The first thing that you need to know is that, despite sometimes being portrayed this way, the Law of Attraction is not some flimsy law that magically delivers things to you just because you have a thought. Remember, you are a vibrational being operating within the energetic realm of the Universe, so what is taken into consideration is where you are on a vibrational level and what frequency you are aligning with at any given time. Deliberate Manifestation Your emotions act like an internal barometer and give you an accurate (and instant) reading of what it is that you’re attracting. If you’re happy, you’re attracting more happiness and if you’re sad then you’re attracting more of the same and so on. Remember, the Law of Attraction attracts to you that which you are. You can’t fake your emotions; they have to be real. Whatever you are genuinely feeling, you are attracting to you. Most people react passively to the events and circumstances around them. I had a bad day because … my boyfriend dumped me … or I lost my job, etc. Something happened that made them feel a particular emotion. By the Law of Attraction, that emotion (or vibration) then draws more of the same circumstances, events or people to them. What they don’t know or realize is that the emotion they’re feeling is creating more of the same circumstances. Essentially, it’s like getting out of the wrong side of the bed on Groundhog Day – one thing after another keeps going wrong. Deliberate manifestation takes this method and flips it the other way round. You deliberately bring yourself into a place where you feel the emotion that correlates with what you want to manifest and then the events and circumstances around you change accordingly. This is the deliberate creation of the events, circumstances and climate of your life, rather than a passive reaction to anything that happens to you. The Truth about Negative Emotion In the socially acceptable way that humanity currently functions, we indulge in our negative thoughts and emotions, believing that we need to feel and justify them, marinate in them and ponder the full extent of them before they can be ‘released’. Negative emotions play a vital role in the materialization of our desires. They are not ‘bad’ (which is the main misconception) – it’s just that most people do not understand their function. Understanding the meaning and purpose of our negative thoughts and emotions is the missing key. There is a misunderstanding that in order to make the Law of Attraction work, we need to be in a blissful state 100 per cent of the time. Yikes! That would be exhausting and dysfunctional. What most people don’t realize is that we need negative emotion in order to manifest. Gratitude and feeling good is only one part of the manifestation process; negative emotion is the other. Like black and white, or yin and yang, we need the balance of both to truly release our creative power. Here, in our physical bodies, we are not designed to be in a state of gratitude every minute of every day. We need negative emotion to continue evolving our desires and life experiences. The only way to really know what you want in life is to establish exactly what it is that you don’t want. The contrast between the two allows you to define your desires more accurately, and as a result you grow. For this is the very reason why we are here. To experience the contrast, evolve our desires, grow and create. It is in these gaps that we discover our innermost desires; they are where new ideas are born. The Truth about Positive Thinking and Affirmations We have often been asked questions like the following: ‘I’ve been introduced to the Law of Attraction and I know I need to be grateful and feel good and think positive thoughts and do affirmations like “I attract money” and “I am an abundant receiver” and this is supposed to bring me everything I want, but it’s just not working. So how do I make this work?’ You can’t come from a place of negativity or a place of desperation or lack while trying to think positive thoughts or doing affirmations. Most people think to themselves, ‘I feel crap, so now is a good time for me to do some affirmations and try to think positive thoughts, then I’ll get what I want.’ The positive thinking and, most importantly, the positive feelings need to be genuine for the Law of Attraction to work. (Don’t panic! In this book we’ll explain and give you tools for successfully moving from a negative state to a positive state.) It’s simple; you either feel positive or you don’t. Affirmations and positive thinking are amazing tools and they do work, yet they only work when you are genuinely in that positive, inspired state; otherwise they work in reverse. The key here is not to go from negative to forced positive in the blink of an eye, but to raise your vibration towards genuine inspiration and positivity. We call this climbing the vibrational ladder, and it will also be covered later on in this book. The Truth about the Mystery of the Law of Attraction Let’s get one thing straight. The TRUTH of the Law of Attraction and the way to use it has never been hidden from us. It’s not a mystery, or knowledge that some group has attempted to keep to themselves. The whole mystery/hidden information/history unravelled/conspiracy theory behind the Law of Attraction is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. In fact, information on the Law of Attraction is readily available free of charge on the internet, so you don’t need to look far or spend a lot of money to educate yourself further on the subject. Its principles were used by many ancient cultures such as the Mayans, Indians, many indigenous cultures and, of course, the phenomenal Ancient Egyptians. It’s because of the Ancient Egyptians’ uncanny ability to create and manifest that we will take a little look at them and will make reference to them several times in this book. It is believed that the Ancient Egyptians were very aware of the Universal Laws and frequently used them to improve their quality of life. This is clearly seen in their incredibly advanced skills and innovation. It is also believed that they were very active and accomplished masters of the Law of Attraction. They were a highly evolved race for their time and utilized many of the natural laws and elements for the healing and advancement of both the individual and the collective. In fact, if you research their culture you will find similar methods and belief systems to those expressed in this book, as well as in most other publications on Universal Laws and the Law of Attraction. The Truth about the Guru Within The Ancient Egyptians are an exquisite example of a race that used the Law of Attraction as one of their fundamental spiritual cornerstones because they were very aware of their own divinity. They knew that the truth of the Law of Attraction and any Universal Law is embedded in each of our souls. Yes, you read that right! There’s nothing external that you require or need to become proficient in to apply deliberate manifestation or utilize the Law of Attraction. The way and all the answers you seek are within you. Clarity is delivered to us through our instinct/higher self (which we call our ‘Creative Core’). The truth is that you already have the information and an innate knowledge of how to operate the law, because you are made of the same energy particles as the Universe and every law that it is governed by. You are an heir to the Universe. We are all brothers and sisters of the divine, here to co-create and expand in our earthly experience. It is very important for you to know that when you are connected to your creator/source energy, you are an omnipresent being (which means that you exist everywhere and are all-knowing). You are made in the perfect image of the divine creator, for we are one with the divine. You already have the answers within you and all of the internal tools to discover everything you need to know and accomplish everything you desire. Despite common misconceptions that we are incomplete or lacking in some way, you are a whole and complete being that is self-sufficient and self-efficient in every way you need. Do you really think your loving creator/source energy would go to all the effort to create the masterpiece that is you and leave you here without survival tools, defenceless and lost? The truth? No … we do that to ourselves. We rely on fear-based conditioning instead of trusting our Creative Core (our instinct/higher self). We have the most simple and advanced survival and gauging system that has ever been created within us: our emotions. Our emotions tell us when we are connected and when we are not, and we will show you how to use this gauge effectively. You are pure source energy and built within you is all the power and knowledge that the Universe itself possesses. All you need to do is connect to it. For within your mind and emotions lie all your creative power. The Law of Attraction is what has compelled us to write this book and, in turn, whether deliberately or not, you have summoned it to you. Within these pages we will show you how to deliberately manifest the life that you want by simply presenting a few easy steps as a reminder to jog your internal memory. We are all sensitive souls at heart and our mind is often our biggest stumbling block. When working your way through this book or any other self-evolving process, please remember to be patient and kind to yourself. You must first learn self love before you can truly express any other kind of genuine love. CHAPTER 3 The Receiving Mode Before we get started, we want to make sure that you are in the receiving mode. What is the Receiving Mode? Have you ever wondered why sometimes you can read a book and it doesn’t stick with you, yet some time later in life you can reread the same book and its contents are a marvel, delivering just the information that you need? Or you can be presented with an opportunity that you don’t feel in a position to take advantage of, but later on, the same opportunity can come back around and this time it’s like everything has aligned and you feel excited and ready to run with it? It’s almost like the information was under your nose the whole time, but for some reason you just couldn’t see it. These are direct examples of being in the receiving mode and being out of the receiving mode. You can give the same information to one hundred people and two out of that one hundred may receive the information, implement it into their lives and transform with it, and because of it. The others will listen to that information but, for whatever reason, it won’t register with them the same way. Ninety-eight of those people are in a place of non-receiving and the other two are in the place of receiving. The receiving mode is when you are energetically aligned with your desire. The question is: how do you make that so? To become energetically aligned we need to become consciously aware of our emotional state. The energy that you are putting out or transmitting equals what you are receiving. Put simply, what you are thinking and feeling is creating your reality. Your current situation is a direct result of your most prominent thoughts and emotions. Feeling unhappiness = receiving situations that make you unhappy. Feeling joy = receiving situations that make you joyful. Most people feel emotion as a result of something that’s happened to them. When you choose to be a deliberate creator, it’s the other way round. You must first feel the emotion to bring what you desire into fruition. If you are transmitting negative energy, you’re not in a place where you can receive positive energy. Positive energy could be all around you, but you won’t be able to feel it or access it or be affected by it. And vice versa. We have a friend who is very passionate about the stock market. In one of the recent financial crashes, we heard stories of so many people who had lost their life savings. Some even went from being millionaires to moving back home with their parents. Our friend was hearing these stories left, right and centre as well, yet no loss affected him at all. It seemed that everyone was affected except him. He refused to go into a panic, like so many people understandably did. He just continued to play the stock market with just as much passion, love and joy as he always did. He was in the receiving mode, because he kept his thoughts and emotions on a high frequency (positive feelings and state of mind). He didn’t buy into the fear that everyone else was clinging to; he just kept himself in a state of calm and continued to be joyful about his passion. It is because of this way of thinking that loss bypassed him. Once we begin to grasp how the Law of Attraction works, we can then start to understand universal language and see how the Universe is constantly communicating with us. Once we do, we will very quickly have the ability to use that knowledge and power to create anything we want, regardless of our current situation or what is happening around us. Many would suggest that the outcome for our friend was sheer luck. Some people get all the lucky breaks and others who are equally and sometimes more talented or skilled are just as unlucky. The truth is that luck has absolutely nothing to do with it. The ‘lucky’ person is in a state of receiving and the ‘unlucky’ person is not. Another common misconception is that the Law of Attraction will only work if you are a pleasant person, and won’t work if you are an unpleasant person. It’s important to note here that the Universe is impartial. If someone activates the Law of Attraction, the Universe will deliver, regardless of whether you think they are a pleasant person or not. This is an important point to consider, as many people get held up on morality and believing that the Universe should only deliver if they perceive someone to be worthy enough; for example, ‘She’s too selfish and doesn’t deserve to be wealthy’ or ‘He’s too lazy to be successful.’ The truth is, we are all divine beings, we are all creators and we are all worthy. The Universe makes no distinction. If a person is in the receiving mode, they will manifest their desires. If they are not in the receiving mode, then they won’t, simple as that. The good news is that this is true for everyone, so the outcome of your life experience is in your own hands; it will never be affected by other people or circumstances that don’t align with you, if you don’t allow yourself to be affected. Allowing yourself to live in a state of fear, to indulge in a bad mood, to justify your actions while judging others, or to indulge in blame-based behaviour is costing you much more than you realise. Let’s think of the Universe as a mirror. The energy that you are putting out there is being reflected right back at you. Your life circumstance is a direct mirror image of your thoughts, beliefs and emotions about any subject. Really grasping the concept that we create our life experiences is a fundamental part of using the Law of Attraction to achieve the life that we desire. So next time you are annoyed with someone, or hate your job, or feel like you’re lacking in some way, ask yourself, ‘Is the situation really worth giving negative energy to when the only person who’s going to be affected by this negative emotional indulgence is me?’ Instead, we can learn to use the information at hand to move in the direction of what we want, for example: A person is irritating you because they’re self-centred and untrustworthy. You have just learnt that you don’t like to socialize or play with self-centred and untrustworthy people. So don’t! You don’t like your job. Great! You have just realized that you are ready to move on to a more fulfilling occupation, so you can direct your attention to changing your work situation. You feel like you’re lacking in some area of your life. Great! You have just realized what you want out of life (since now you definitely know what you don’t want), so you can start directing your attention towards the things you do want. You can start looking at the information that you are receiving from these so-called negative situations with joy and anticipation, because through using this knowledge your life is about to get a whole lot better. We all have so many excuses and justifications for being in a bad mood or a negative mindset: ‘But if you just knew the whole story …’ ‘But that person really wronged me.’ ‘But it’s just the way I feel.’ We may well be totally justified in our thoughts and feelings, but being justified doesn’t deliver us our desired outcome; in fact, quite the opposite. We can choose to indulge ourselves in the drama of it all and tell everyone who’ll listen how unfair it is, but who does it help to be right? The answer? Noone, and most certainly not you. All you are doing is sustaining the cycle and adding more fuel to the fire, propelling yourself in the direction of what you don’t want. Instead, we can train our mind and emotions to deal with those situations in a more constructive way, so they don’t become stumbling blocks for the life we want to manifest, but instead tools that help guide us to the life that we want to live. There is a lesson in every situation. Find the lesson and rejoice, for your life will be enriched by it. No event is ever worth jeopardising your future for. In each situation that you perceive to be negative, you’re actually being shown how to create your perfect life, because your desires are constantly being highlighted and refined by the process. You now know what you don’t want, so you can shift your focus onto what you do want and eliminate the negative from your experience. The more you practice this process, the higher your vibration or energetic frequency becomes and the quicker you can manifest the things that you want. So ultimately, each situation, negative or otherwise, is always beneficial for you. When you look at events as part of a journey and not the final destination of your life, you start to see things differently. You can change direction at any time. It’s up to you to cultivate the things you do want and redirect the things you don’t want. It’s that simple! Life isn’t complicated … we complicate it. Manifestation isn’t complicated … we complicate it. Why don’t we try removing the chaos in our minds and keeping it simple? The Guru Within We are constantly in search of information to evolve our soul and to teach us to know ourselves better so we can create the life that we want, yet we tend to limit ourselves to one idea and follow the crowd instead of trusting the guru within and working out for ourselves what resonates with our own internal truth and what doesn’t. There’s a huge variety of spiritual information available to us, because we all have different personality types and preferences and we have all come to this earth to have our own unique experience. We’re not a ‘one size fits all’ creation. What resonates with ten people may not resonate with five. It’s your responsibility to put all the information you take on board to the test and see what resonates with your inner wisdom. You’ll know, because you have everything you need within you. It will feel right and you’ll have a sense of knowing, because your spirit self will confirm what you’ve known all along; you just needed a little reminder. We constantly feel that we do not know ourselves yet the TRUTH is that we know ourselves very well. If you feel that you have a lack of self-knowledge, simply become aware of how many times a day your soul is showing you who you are. Let’s do a quick exercise. Answer the following questions by saying the first answer that comes into your head: What is one of your favourite foods? What is one of your least favourite foods? What is your favourite colour? What is your least favourite colour? Do you enjoy having money? How do you feel when you don’t have it? Do you prefer dogs, cats, or neither? Do you prefer to do exercise at home, outdoors, at the gym, or not at all? Are you more attracted to looks, personality, or the combination? Chances are that you were able to answer all of these questions without really thinking about it too much. We make decisions every day that reaffirm that we actually know ourselves really well. So not knowing yourself is not the issue when it comes to creating the life that you desire. Now, all you have to do is implement the changes necessary to flip the switch and deliberately create the life that you do want. You love the colour blue, but you’re not so keen on yellow. You love mangos, but are not so keen on bean sprouts. You love to run outdoors, but you are not so keen on gyms. You are attracted to this person, but not that person. You feel depressed or downtrodden because you feel like you don’t have enough money – you have just discovered you do not enjoy lack of money in your life. You complain that you have not found your soulmate – you have just discovered that you desire a meaningful long-term relationship. If our thoughts and emotions create our life experience, then we need to change our current thinking and emotional state to create the life we want. When making these changes, it’s important to be aware that manifestation doesn’t happen straight away (thank goodness!). You have a window of opportunity in which to redirect your thoughts and emotions if they aren’t reflecting what you want. It’s really fortunate that manifestation doesn’t happen straight away because the process will take some time to get used to. You’re about to change the way you think and react to your emotions. You’ve had years and years of experience and that’s how many years you’ve had thinking, feeling and reacting in your current state, so an adjustment period is inevitable. So there’s time to have some small knee-jerk reactions while you’re laying new paths of thought and feeling. It’s a process, so when implementing these changes, try not to drive yourself crazy by monitoring everything you think and feel; simply become sensitive to how you’re feeling, and when you notice you’re feeling or thinking in an undesirable way, gently remind yourself that you are the only person who’s going to be affected by the decision to do so. Extract the information or the lesson that is being presented, smile and then acknowledge that you’ve discovered a little nugget of golden wisdom and that your thoughts and emotions need to shift in order to create the reality you want. Then simply move your thoughts in your desired direction. In time, the knee-jerk reactions will become fewer, until eventually you will have re-programmed your mind and emotions to know that there is no need for those reactions at all. Now that we have identified what needs to change and you understand that it is not some deepseated issue inside of you that you need to discover and exorcise, let’s get started! CHAPTER 4 The Key Now you know that you need to be in receiving mode in order to be a deliberate creator, let’s look at the key to materialising your desires. The first thing we need to clarify about manifestation is that you are already using the Law of Attraction to create every day. Yes, your life as you currently know it is a direct manifestation of your thoughts and feelings. So if you are frustrated and feel like you’ve been trying to manifest but you just don’t think you know how, that’s the first myth that we need to eliminate. You are a born creator. You are a born manifestor. You have been doing this automatically since the day you entered this world – and even prior. You entered this world as a vibrational being from a vibrational origin. There are some cultures that believe a telepathic, energetic conversation takes place between the soul that is wanting to enter our earthly realm and the bearer (or the mother) of that soul’s choosing. The spirit asks the potential bearer’s permission to come forward and be conceived and the bearer subconsciously – and sometimes consciously – accepts. We are communicating energetically/vibrationally all of the time, because that is our original and natural state. If you look at your life and are dissatisfied with what you see, it is only because you have been using the law to attract the things you don’t want, albeit unintentionally. You actually have the attracting and the manifesting part down pat! All we need to do now is make the shift from attracting what you don’t want to attracting what you do want. So if you thought you were going to have to start from scratch, breathe a sigh of relief because you actually already know how to do the big part. As stated previously, we are created from the very energy that governs the Universe and we have a built-in instinct that already knows how to operate the Law of Attraction. We use information, life experiences and each other as memory jolts for what we already know deep inside. To be in a state of creation, you must be aware that you were made to create your experience. It’s not foreign; it’s your natural state of being. How does a flower know how to grow? How do puppies know where to get their food? How do the planets and the solar system know how to align so perfectly and create the perfect environment that supplies us with oxygen on this planet? They operate instinctively within the natural order of creation. They are made with all of the knowledge they need to exist and function already built-in. We too are created in this magnificent manner. When you look at how detailed all of creation is, and how simple in its function, you quickly see that we are surrounded by miracles everywhere we go. In fact, our existence is one of the most miraculous manifestations in the entire Universe. You are a miracle. The fact that you are here, living and breathing, is extraordinary. So next time you doubt your ability to manifest and create, just look at your life, for that is what you have chosen to create up until this point. The key here is that you can develop awareness of your internal self and harness the power that knowledge gives you to direct your emotions and thoughts towards what you desire. By doing this, you become vibrationally aligned with the life you want. You are the key that unlocks the wonders of the Universe and harnesses its power to create. Because our limited earthly self – in comparison to our omnipresent spiritual self – has preprogrammed and learned behaviour, a lot of what is taught or assumed regarding your internal world is based on untruths and misunderstanding. It is your job to filter out the beliefs that do not serve you and lay new foundations of beliefs, thoughts and feelings that do. Every emotion that you have has its perfect function for your evolution. These emotions possess tremendous power when purposefully manoeuvred in the direction of our desires. All of them were created perfectly by pure positive energy to facilitate our life experience. Becoming aware of the correct function of your emotions and how to wield them for your benefit is the key to your internal power. You are so perfectly designed that everything you experience is formed to propel you forward, not stunt you, or stop you in your tracks. When seeking information or weighing up whether you are doing things correctly, put it to this simple test: if the thought, emotion or activity propels you forward towards bliss and your desires, it is the right thought, emotion or activity for you, so stick with it. If it has the opposite effect, let it go with love and appreciation, and move on. Once you are aware of what’s actually happening in your mind and body and are connected and working from your Creative Core (or instinct/spirit self), this is when you will start to see your desires materialise. CHAPTER 5 The Creative Core What is the Creative Core? There are many names used to describe what we call the Creative Core: ‘reaching Zen’, ‘being in the spirit’, ‘Dao’, ‘Vortex’, ‘chi’, and so on. The Creative Core is your point of connection from your earthly self to your spirit self or ‘God’ energy. It is your vibrational reality that holds every desire that you have ever had. This is where manifestation takes place. The World of Energy We Live In So now you know you are a vibrational being, corresponding with an all-connected vibrational Universe! You are actually made up of two vibrational aspects; Aspect 1: Your ‘earthly’ or physical, blood-and-bone self; and Aspect 2: Your ‘spirit’ or energetic self. Your spirit self is who you really are and your physical self is who you allow yourself to be. Your spirit self is infinite and omnipresent pure positive energy and is connected to every living being in the cosmos. Your earthly or physical self is the temporary human incarnation of your spirit self, and experiences both positive and negative emotion in order to grow and expand consciousness. When these two aspects fuse together, it creates an energetic doorway to your Creative Core. Let us briefly remind you that the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only transform. Your thoughts and emotions, which are also energy-based, create your desires. Those desires can not be destroyed, only transformed, so even though you may not see the material manifestation of those past desires, energetically they exist. This means that once you align or match with the frequency of those desires, they will materialise. Let’s talk about energy. Energy cannot be erased or destroyed. It is an infinite source that changes form. If your thoughts and emotions are energy (as they are), and it is your thoughts and emotions that give birth to your desires, then every desire you have ever had still exists, because it is a pure source of energy and cannot be erased or distorted. This means that we all have a vibrational (energy-based) reality. The Creative Core is your vibrational reality. Your creative core holds all the manifestations of every desire you have ever had. All you have to do to access your wealth is get on the same energetic frequency as your Creative Core. How Do I Know Whether I’m Functioning from My Earthly Self or Spirit Self? You know when you are engaging in life only from the point of view of your earthly self because you will experience things like fear, frustration, anxiety and emotions and thoughts that follow that line. When you are engaging in life from a connected source point, your earthly and spiritual selves align, and you will experience things like inspiration, elation, bliss, passion, love and all thoughts and emotions that follow that line. Your thoughts and emotions are the energetic language that is spoken between you and the Universe. They are your point of communication. Remember that they have energetic power and you are directly communicating with the Universe through them. The Law of Attraction makes the Universe obedient to whatever it is that you are requesting. If the thoughts and feelings you are emitting are negative, then negativity is what you are asking the Law of Attraction to deliver. If they are positive, then positivity is the command the Universe must be obedient to. Energy Waves and Frequencies The energetic world is made up of different energy waves or frequencies, much like radio waves. When you want to connect to a particular station, you adjust the dial to the station or frequency that you desire. Your thoughts and emotions work in exactly the same way. If you want to tune into the frequency of love, you need to tune internally to the state-of-love frequency. If you want to tune into the frequency of joy, you need to be in a joyful state. The Law of Attraction will then bring you more of the same – love or joy or whatever it is you have tuned in to internally. For example: your desire is that you would like to attract to you the love of your life. If your thoughts and, most importantly, your genuine feelings are inspiration, joy, positivity, eagerness, love and blissfulness when you think of this desire, then you will be tuning into the love frequency. You are specifically communicating with the Universe to activate the Law of Attraction to deliver you the love of your life. If your thoughts and feelings are of fear, desperation, lack of love, loneliness and longing, then you have tuned in to the repel-love frequency, or lack-of-love frequency. Here you are specifically communicating with the Universe to draw love away from you and deliver more experiences of fear, desperation, lack of love and loneliness, which simply moves love further and further away. You can only choose to tune in to one of two frequencies at a time. You can either vibrate in the presence of what you want, or the absence of it. Any vibration that you are feeling and are settled on is reflecting your inner state. That is what you are communicating to the world, and the Universe is mirroring your state of being. If what you want is absent, you have been tuning in to the wrong frequency with your thoughts and emotional state. You Can’t Fool the Frequency/Universe/God/Creator Quite often we get it into our head that we can force an outcome. For example, ‘I’m going to focus on this so hard and so often and with such desperation that I’m going to will it into existence’; or ‘I’m inspired to act even though I’m desperate, so this must mean I’m aligned.’ True inspiration comes from a place of positivity, not desperation. The two are often confused. If you are coming from a place of desperation or lack in any way, then you are not coming from an inspired place. You cannot fake inspiration – or any other emotion. If you try to force your desire into existence, it is the quickest way to push it further and further away from you. Instead, try to feel your way into it, not think your way into it. The Power of Appreciation Let’s continue, this time with money being the example of what you desire. When you are attempting to awaken to this new way of thinking and feeling, your brain may say to you, ‘If I’m in a mental and emotional place of lack, how do I truly feel that I have more than enough money, when I don’t? No matter what I try, I just can’t get out of this negative headspace.’ When you feel stuck or uninspired, the best starting point is the power of appreciation. It’s easy in our current society to miss all the wonderful blessings which we receive every day. Appreciating what you already have is always a fantastic starting point. When you really look at what you actually have, you realise how wealthy you are. Abundance comes in many forms so try to cover all areas: family social physical spiritual mind career finances. Exercise: The Seven Areas of Abundance Step 1: Write Down What You Appreciate, with Feeling Find a quiet, comfortable space were you will not be disturbed. On the following pages write down ten things that you appreciate in all seven life areas listed above, making sure to put feeling into your writing. Try to connect with memories or imagery to help your emotional floodgates burst wide open while you are writing. Remember: the power of creation is in the intensity of how you feel. Once you are done, read over your answers. Your answers are the direct reminder of how wealthy you really are. You will start to feel wealth. This is the first step in aligning yourself with your desires.

Sit with your desire and allow the feeling of having it right now completely envelope you. Lose yourself in a blissful meditation or free association of having what you want. Let your mind and spirit have fun with the materialisation of your desire. Remember: if you have thought up the desire, you have already created it. This exercise will facilitate aligning you with your desire and assist you with the materialisation process. Most importantly, have fun with this exercise! The more you allow your imagination to create, the more joy you will feel and the stronger your aligning vibration will be. These exercises will help you shift your emotional or feeling state to a higher level (remember that everything about this law is energetic). We call this ‘climbing the vibrational ladder’ and we explain it more in the next chapter. CHAPTER 6 The Vibrational Ladder What Is the Vibrational Ladder? We have gone on and on about how you need to be in vibrational alignment with your desires. In short, the vibrational ladder is a simple tool that will help you to raise your vibration. This is the tool that will take you from forcing your way into positivity to feeling your way into a positive state, in order to be in alignment with manifestation. Look at the diagram below. This is a direct gauge of where you are in terms of your vibrational level (energetic level). Using it, you can now pinpoint your current and exact vibration on the scale in relation to any subject, then actively take steps to climb up to a higher frequency. If you are fearful about money, for instance, go to fear on the diagram. You can see that you’re above hatred/grief and below anxiety/regret on the subject of financial wellbeing. The next step up towards the manifestation of more wealth is desire, so you need to get into the desire frequency. When you get used to using the vibrational ladder, you can use the diagram above, but when you’re starting out it’s best to use a simple version like the one below. The aim is to feel your way up the vibrational ladder. Your thoughts are facilitators to help you guide your emotions from a low frequency (the negative and lower end of the scale) to a high frequency (the higher end of the scale). Let’s start at the fear point. Take what you are fearful of and identify the desire behind it (in this case, it’s abundance). Feel the desire and identify why you want to be financially free: ‘I want financial freedom because …’. Then continue doing the same with each emotion, going up the scale. Fear: I am fearful that I do not have enough money. Desire: I want to be financially free, because I want to provide for my family. Anger: It’s not fair that I am not financially stable! Pride: I work as much – maybe even more – than most millionaires. Courage: I can be just as successful as everyone else. Neutral: We all deserve success. Willingness: I am going to change my current view on money. Acceptance: I deserve to be wealthy. Reason: I want to be financially free, so I can spend more time with my family. Love: I love having money because I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, and I feel relief, freedom, excitement, wonder, joy and exhilaration because I have created the environment that I have always dreamt of. Joy: I look forward to living each moment of my life. Peace: I have created the life I have always dreamt of. Enlightenment: I am pure source energy and everything I desire is there for me to manifest and create. You can climb the vibrational ladder on any topic, and the great thing is, no matter where you are emotionally, through using the ladder you can always raise your vibration and become aligned with your desire. When changing the way you think and feel, don’t be surprised if your mind and emotions waver. As when you change any habit, your mind and emotions will have a tendency to try and kick back at you, so be kind and allow yourself time to adjust. Note, however, that it’s much simpler to catch yourself at the start of a road towards something you don’t want than it is to turn back once you’ve arrived. So try and catch any unwanted thought progressions and negative emotions before they become fully established. We love to replay the same patterns in our heads: ‘I don’t know how to do the exercises properly. I don’t have anything good in my life. I lack everywhere, so I can’t climb the vibrational ladder’ … and so on. The good news is that you can’t do this exercise incorrectly as long as you continue to make your way up the ladder. You also have the law of polarity on your side, so where there is negative experience in your life, there also has to be a positive experience in some other aspect of your life. It is a universal law, so it will definitely be there. By climbing the vibrational ladder, you will also become aware of where you have positivity in your life. If you hold on to your current way of thinking, you will be stuck in an undesirable place and you will simply create more undesirable circumstances in your life. If you really want to attract a better life and manifest what you want, you simply need to stop this vicious cycle in its tracks. Take note of how much of your life you have spent below the neutral point. You can now see where you are on the scale in relation to all of the seven areas in your life: family, social, spiritual, mind, career, finances and physical. You can choose to stop living life as a victim. ‘This happened to me, and I feel bad as a result.’ By taking control of your emotional state, you can choose how you feel about the circumstances in your life and you can create the experiences you’ve always wanted. Life is a precious gift and we are not here for long. Do you really want to spend one more unnecessary minute on the negative end of the scale? No more excuses! I don’t care if you’re on your death bed – if you’re still breathing air you have something to appreciate, so start small and think of one thing a day. It might be your pet, that gives you unconditional love; it might be your children; it might be the fact that you can see or hear or taste or walk or touch, or that you have food or clean water, or that you are still here with time to turn everything around and live the life of your dreams! You may be wondering, ‘How do I move away from excuses and create those positive thoughts and feelings if I am not in a positive mindset?’ The first thing you should do is look at the vibrational ladder diagram and start to climb your way up the scale to more positive thoughts and feelings. The below exercise will assist you in doing this. Exercise: Create Your Own Vibrational Ladder Create a vibrational ladder diagram of your own. Draw it or paint it, or print it out, then put it on a canvas and turn it into a piece of art – whatever you want to do with it! Just make sure it’s hanging in a place that is visible to you every single day. As soon as you are feeling anything below neutral, take the issue and start to move it up the vibrational ladder in the same way as the previous example. All you need to do is move your thoughts and emotions in the right direction and that change of focus will start to tip the balance of energy towards your desires, ensuring that physical manifestation will soon occur. In addition, do whatever it is that makes you feel good. If you like to sing, sing upbeat inspirational songs; if you love to dance, dance your heart out; if you like to listen to music, listen to music that makes you feel good and inspires you and pumps you up. If you love to watch movies, watch a stream of inspirational films (Rocky movies tend to get most people in the mood). Whatever it is that makes you feel good, do that and do lots of it! The more you genuinely feel good, the higher your frequency, and the quicker your manifestations become. CHAPTER 7 The Shift Now that we know that our thoughts and emotions are the key to manifestation and know how to use the vibrational ladder, let’s discuss what’s taking place when we are in a state of discomfort, or disease. What led you to this book? What led you to seek out any spiritual information? When we are unhappy or in discomfort, we automatically look for things to relieve the pain or fill the void. Our most destructive way of dealing with these symptoms is either to lose ourselves in a black hole of depression and unhappiness, or to instantaneously drown them out with the addictions of our choice, be they alcohol, drugs or even excessive food or unhealthy relationships. The ironic thing is that if we understood the function of negative emotion, we would very quickly realise that the discomfort we’re feeling is not something that we need to dull or escape from. In fact, it’s actually the doorway to manifestation and the key to turning the undesirable into gold. We instantaneously assume that there is something wrong in our lives because we feel unhappiness or discomfort, but the truth is that this is a grave misinterpretation of the function of these feelings. When you feel this way, there is something right … You are being internally summoned to shift. Expand your mind for a minute and think about your scenario in a different light. Think about it from the perspective of pure positive energy. Let’s think of a time when we all felt discomfort at the same stage in our lives: our teens … Our teenage years are notorious for being the most emotionally unstable time in our life journey. It’s common knowledge that you cannot be truly diagnosed with a serious mental illness before the age of eighteen because your hormones and emotions are naturally going crazy. What is actually taking place at that time is that we have a first conscious milestone growth spurt, for we are transitioning from child to adult. We notice this not only within our emotions, but also in our physical body. Growing pains make our knees hurt, our joints hurt; we feel uncomfortable, restless and unsettled; everything is aching and we are so agitated because of the way these pains make us feel we just want to scream. That is our body expanding, growing, ‘shifting’ and evolving. Spirit/source energy works in a uniform way. Your body experiences these growing pains, and so does your soul. When you are experiencing times of discomfort, it is your soul crying out to you and expressing to you that it is time to shift, because you have outgrown the state or frequency that you are currently residing in. Your desires no longer match your life, new desires are born and it is time to move on. Your soul is signalling you to activate the Law of Attraction; it is delivering all of the internal signals of ‘the shift’, so you know it’s time to move on to better pastures. What Are the Internal Signs of the Shift? Once again, refer to the vibrational ladder diagram. Any emotions below the neutral point are direct signals that the internal shift is beckoning you. Because we have been misinformed about what those internal signals actually mean, quite often, instead of shifting our emotions and thoughts up the vibrational ladder to allow manifestation to come into fruition, we get in the way by indulging in the negative emotions, thinking that there is something seriously wrong and getting ready to come to terms with the fact that life sucks and that’s just the way it is. The truth? We can only maintain this viewpoint because we have not understood the shifting signals correctly – we have believed the lie that we are in a place of being stuck and that only darkness and frustration exist, instead of allowing the internal shift to occur and take its course. Hence the vicious cycle that we continue in over and over again, constantly blocking our manifestation efforts. However, when you are in a state of receiving (and of understanding what is actually happening internally), you are able to use the information of those internal shifting signals correctly and allow the emotional and mental shift to take place. This equals an awareness of what is actually internally taking place, which in turn equals a shift of emotion and thought, which then leads to momentum in your desired direction, which ultimately equals manifestation. The shift is when you move from feeling and thinking from your earthly self to feeling and thinking from your spirit self. You move from operating in the earthly ‘ego’ to operating in spiritual ‘Love’. When you feel the emotion and move forward from a place of love, everything looks brighter, everything is right and everything is blissful. Feeling your way into manifestation is ‘the shifting process’ – the first part of the manifestation process. Trying to fight your way into manifestation is the stumbling block to achieving manifestation. One is a resistant choice and the other is a non-resistant choice. You will manifest no matter which choice you make. One will deliver you the desired outcome; the other will deliver the opposite. If you have been manifesting the undesirable up until this point, it’s because that is exactly what happens when you ignore or misinterpret the signals of ‘the shift’. Be aware of all the times in your life that you felt discomfort or negativity. You will quickly see what decision you made. Shift or indulge. If you are honest with yourself, you will quickly see that any negative periods in your life were propelled by indulgent thoughts and feelings, giving them power and feeding them to produce more. You felt these feelings very intensely, and this is the very thing that propelled negative manifestation. Intensity of Feeling You see, we have had the key all along and have been effectively using it. When we feel negative emotions, we don’t stop and ask the question, ‘How did I work my way into feeling them?’ We simply feel them and they envelop us. We are all very accomplished, negative manifestors. This, unfortunately in today’s society, is our current state of conditioning. Now is the time to shift and turn the tide. If we can so easily feel negative emotions with such vitality, by going back to the uniform way of the Universe, we are equally capable of feeling positive emotions in this way. In fact, it takes more energy to be negative. This is where you have a choice. This is where, moment by moment, you can choose to shift. Imagine your state of being if positive emotions started to become your ingrained conditioning! We would be looking at a very enlightened and advanced creative race. In fact, for the Ancient Egyptians, this was their fundamental state of mind and look at what they accomplished. We are not advising that you eliminate negativity – it is necessary for the evolution of your desires – yet you can spend less and less time in negative states, identifying and extracting what information you need from those periods quicker and quicker, so you spend more time manifesting what you desire. This is the fundamental function of the shift and, like all conditionings, it takes a little time to alter. Yet, with perseverance, what awaits you is well worth it. So next time you are feeling agitated, stuck, depressed, uninspired or any emotion that falls below the neutral point on the vibrational ladder, know that there is not something wrong, there is something right. You have outgrown your current state and desires and it’s time to shift … leading you into new and exciting manifestation possibilities; leading you towards the desires of your soul. CHAPTER 8 Action When it comes to the Law of Attraction, there is some confusion over taking action. Some available material leads you to believe that you don’t have to do anything at all. Others point you towards doing as much as possible: the more action, the better. You must grind, grind, grind. Yes, you do need to take action when working with the Law of Attraction, yet the fundamental question is when should you take action. The Truth Behind Negative Action If our emotions and thoughts are negative and we do nothing to shift them into a positive or higher frequency and we take action in this state of negativity, before we know it we are experiencing an avalanche of more of what we do not want. Quite often we question why we feel so bad and why things just seem to keep going wrong. As we stated earlier in the book, negativity is necessary to solidify and propel our desires forward, yet staying in that place for longer than is necessary is where we get into trouble. To have a realisation of what you want and what you do not want is one thing; that’s the purpose of the negativity in the first place. Yet to overindulge in this state is not its intended function, and that is why it then becomes destructive. There are two places that we take action from. The first is ‘fear-based action’ (negative action). The second is ‘inspired action’ (positive action). To identify fear-based actions, you want to look for any of the following: acting out of desperation acting out of fear of loss acting out of impatience acting out of malice. With reference to the vibrational ladder diagram, anything below neutral is fear-based action. To identify inspired action, you want to look for the following: when you feel inspired when you feel elated when you feel joyful when you feel detached from the outcome because you are enjoying the desire or possibility so much. Again, refer to the vibrational ladder diagram. Anything above neutral is inspired action. Remember: Anything below neutral is fear-based action. Anything above neutral is inspiration-based action. If you are working from fear-based action, you are giving negativity power and repelling your desire from you. Remember, if you feel fear, desperation, impatience or malice, those are the things you are attracting back to you. You will still activate the Law of Attraction, yet you will not be receiving what you want. Instead, you will be receiving more of what you don’t want. When you are working from an inspired state, then you are right on point with the manifestation of your desires. You will know the time and place, and will have an instinct or gut feeling or knowing that you need to act. You will feel peaceful yet excited and inspired, not fearful, anxious or desperate. To really distinguish the two, imagine this scenario. You desperately want your ex-lover back. You have been visualising the reunion and have been feeling good when thinking about it. You activate the Law of Attraction and voila! You bump into your ex. It worked! So you decide to speak to him/her, knowing full well that you have attracted the situation, and in that moment you know, this is it, we are going to be getting back together. You declare your desire … and they run a mile. What happened? Your mind is reeling. The Law of Attraction didn’t work! Look at the first half of the first sentence – you desperately want your ex-lover back. Desperation is a fear-based negative emotion, so it falls below neutral on the vibrational ladder diagram. Yet we still try to find ways to disguise, justify, deny or legitimise it, because we’re not being honest about how we really feel! This is futile, because if you continue to work from a low vibrational place, you will only attract the opposite of what you desire. When manifesting, it is important to note that you only take action from an inspired state. If you are in a fear-based state, it is best to take no action at all. Instead, focus on shifting your thoughts and emotions into an inspired state. Inspired action is the key to achieving what you desire. CHAPTER 9 The Fusion Process The Ancient Egyptians believed that before you could pass through the gateway to the higher realms of enlightenment, you must first leave your ego (earthly self) behind and your ego (earthly self) must submit to your spirit self (love). This creates a fusion of the two selves, making the person aligned with, and completely connected to, pure source or ‘God’ energy. What is the Fusion Process? Put simply, the fusion process is the process of connecting and aligning your earthly self to your spirit or higher self. Earthly self = ego Spirit self (or higher self) = love Fusion of your earthly and spiritual self = connection and alignment with source energy. What Is the Most Common Stumbling Block to Reaching the Fusion Point? The answer is: competition. In our current society we are taught from a very young age to compete – for recognition, status, value, worthiness, money and even love. This creates an underlying belief that there’s not enough of anything to go around. Our whole existence rests on the foundation of competition. This approach, both in our material lives and in our relationships, massively hinders our own ability to create what we desire. We are so consumed with what everyone else is doing that we become blind to our own vibrational decline. You have a direct line to the divine Universe. It delivers to you everything you ask for, no questions asked. This means that you are never in competition with anyone else in relation to the Law of Attraction. The idea of competition is man-made and stems from the earthly self (ego), not the divine self (love). It is one of the most common sources of misinformation, one that will rob you of your divine right to abundance in all areas of your life. You are already valued, worthy and loved, and universally we all have the same status and limitless abundance. There’s nothing you need to do or change to become that which you already are. Universally, competition does not exist. We are provided for equally and we have access to all that the Universe has to offer, equally. No one is more spiritual or more deserving, and no one is worthier than you – period. We are all equal and we are all one in the eyes of the source or ‘God’ energy; there is no division or lack or withholding. It was through our ego’s need to dominate and control that competition was born. This fear has left its mark everywhere – in our communities, our workplaces and even in our family environments. Greed, jealousy, hoarding, manipulation and class division, the need for war and the past and current mistreatment of certain races or cultures all stem from this baseline of competition. It is the fundamental roadblock that keeps humanity from operating from pure source energy as a whole, complete consciousness, and is based on beliefs and information that are as far from the truth as you can possibly get. The truth and the overwhelming evidence are found in the laws of the Universe and in the way that the Universe itself functions. We all have access to whatever life we desire to create. Focusing on what others have is a complete waste of our precious energy. In fact, when someone crosses your path who has actually materialised the thing that you desire, it is a universal message that you are on the right track. This is your signal, your direct communication from the Universe that it’s time for you to deliberately raise your vibration in order to materialise your desire. So instead of feeling deflated or envious, be thankful for the existence of the person delivering you that universal message, for they have successfully played their part as a co-producer, just for you. Next time you feel the sting of envy for something that someone else has, or feel that you need to go into competition mode, remind yourself that the only person who is withholding or robbing or beating you is you. Ego versus Higher Self Until we learn how to release old destructive patterns, we will continue to be a slave to our earthly self (our ego self) and will continue to repel the life we desire (and that which we are divinely entitled to). When we are operating out of our earthly self we function 90 per cent of the time from the ego perspective. We feel insulted – ego. We feel rejected – ego. We feel offended – ego. We compare ourselves to others – ego. The list is endless! When we look at situations from our higher self’s perspective, things look quite different. Instead of reaction from the very touchy ego, we see things through the eyes of love and balance. Ego Self This is how our ego sees things: Situations do not always seem favourable to me. People do not always seem accommodating or kind to me. Other people have more than me. Our ego doesn’t tend to take this too well, yet our higher self sees the bigger picture. When the situation is not favourable, our higher self doesn’t feel insulted or offended – it sees that the situation is not the right match for us. When people are not accommodating, or are unkind to us, our higher self does not feel rejected – it sees that we are not on the same vibration as that group or individual. When we notice that others have what we desire, our higher self does not feel envy – it sees signals/confirmations that it’s time to shift our perspective to manifesting what it is that we want. Unlike our earthly self, the higher self is omnipresent, just like our creator. Therefore, in the state of fusion we see, know and understand things that our earthly self cannot. Our earthly self has tunnel vision and can only see a very small section of what is actually going on. Our spirit self sees everything. The Sacred State of Fusion When we activate the sacred state of fusion, the process very quickly becomes the gateway to enlightenment and manifestation, for it is the heart of your Creative Core. This is where alignment takes place and you become a vibrational match with your desire. The Calling Your higher self is constantly communicating with you. Most often it is a gentle voice or a quiet whisper, calling out to you and helping to steer you in the right life path direction. Don’t get me wrong – it is not a voice you actually hear; it’s a voice you sense and understand when you quiet your mind, listen and just exist with it. This inner voice is your inbuilt guide and it’s constantly nudging you towards your soul’s desired direction. Once again, your emotions are the form in which it communicates. We often ignore these conversations and instead replay our learned, earthly life scripts over and over again. These are, more often than not, based on misconceptions and inherited belief systems that, when you really think about it, are not even our own. These beliefs leave our spirit limp and exhausted, simply because our higher self is repelling what is not aligning with our soul. We get so caught up in what we think life should look like that we forget that we are not here to follow – we are here to create, expand, experiment and enjoy doing so. Instead, we just settle for mediocre, ok, just getting by, instead of going for the amazing, extraordinary and mind-blowing. Despite this, our higher self still manages to penetrate our earthly self occasionally, sending a shimmer of hope to remind us of our infinite abilities and desires. It is our job to take that spark and create a passionate fire, breaking away from all of the preconceived ideas and expectations and giving birth to our own unique essence. Fulfilment of the Soul When we are in a state of fusion it becomes apparent to us that the reason behind our wants and desires is that we think we will feel happier or better in general once we have materialised what we want. We have heard so many people who have mastered the deliberate manifestation of wealth talk about how they enjoy the process of sitting with the idea and revelling in the inspired desire much more than the actual materialisation of the desire, because after they achieved it a few times, the material possessions became boring and unfulfilling. This is because under the surface, we are actually searching for the feeling of happiness or fulfilment, which is ultimately the feeling of alignment, not the item or situation that we are asking for. We can take monumental steps backwards by becoming obsessed with the material, when what our soul is crying out for is an experience of spiritual expansion in human form. We are here to experience this life and to define and evolve that experience through our desires. We have a choice to live through our earthly ego in a constant state of dissatisfaction, envy, lack and competition, or we can allow the fusion process to take place and live from our merged higher self (love) state, where we can enjoy the abundance of spiritual satisfaction and material pleasures. Material possessions are fun to create and enjoy, yet the true perfection of manifestation is, firstly, the living of our lives from a connected and inspired state. When we live from the perspective of co-producing with each other and all of nature, we respect life and all of existence. When we see this extraordinary Universe and all that encompasses it from the eyes and heart of love, it is only then that we really see the miraculous reality of deliberate manifestation and the ‘stuff’, the material wealth, just becomes toys for our amusement, to enjoy and to share while feeding each other’s souls and having a true creative experience. CHAPTER 10 Momentum Have you ever been in a situation when someone has done something that’s mildly pissed you off, then shortly afterwards you’ve seen a friend, had a cup of tea and realised you want to get it off your chest? This person has pissed me off because … they keep parking in my spot; they keep forgetting to feed the cat; and so on. Your friend joins the conversation and gets right into it; they have their own opinion and before you know it, it’s escalated from a minor irritation to you hating the person and it’s World War Three! That, my friend, is called momentum. What is Momentum? One dictionary definition of momentum is ‘force or speed of movement; impetus, as of a physical object or course of events’. When understanding how momentum works, we quickly see how simple and effortless deliberate manifestation can be. When it comes to our thoughts and emotions, whatever we give our attention to, we are also giving momentum to. Now that we have accessed the state of fusion, we are aligned with our spirit self and we are operating the Law of Attraction from a high-frequency love state. From here, the natural flow of momentum kicks in and, by the Law of Attraction, the energy (including our thoughts and emotions) begins to build and flow. The idea here is to speed up positive vibration and slow down negative vibration, or energy flowing in the direction of what you don’t want. The more you sway your genuine positive thoughts and feelings in the direction of what you do want, the faster the momentum builds and the quicker manifestation occurs. Unfortunately, it also works in reverse, so be mindful not to allow any negative thoughts to occupy your thought space for too long. Take anxiety, for example; unless you catch it in the early stages, the initial trigger or thought that seeded it in your brain will multiply and gain momentum as quickly as an airborne virus. Before you know it, you could be having a panic attack and/or reaching for medication. The best way to counteract this is to simply climb up the vibrational ladder in the early stages, rather than letting the anxiety take root. Exercise: The Eighteen-Second Snap For this exercise you will need to refer back to the vibrational ladder diagram. If you are having a negative thought or feeling, then you have a window of time to snap yourself out of it and sway the momentum of that thought or feeling back towards your desired direction. To snap the momentum back in your favour, identify how you are feeling on the vibrational ladder diagram and then move towards the thought or emotion above it. Hold that feeling for eighteen seconds, and repeat. The time frame on this is debatable: some say nineteen seconds, some say eighteen seconds and some say seventeen seconds. We like to go for eighteen seconds – it seems to work best for us – but you can play around with it and see what works for you. If you hold any thought for eighteen seconds or more, the Law of Attraction will bring you more thoughts that are on the same vibrational level. This begins the momentum process and as you continue, it builds, becoming a powerful river of energy which works towards the physical manifestation of your desires. Keep going until you’ve reached all the way up the ladder, if you can. You have now successfully swayed momentum in the direction of your desires. Generalisation The next step to the momentum process is to understand how to slow down unwanted negative energy that has already progressed along the road towards negative experience. When there’s already a lot of negative momentum in the direction of what you don’t want, the key is to first slow it down before focusing on what you do want. You’re unlikely to be able to make the jump from being severely negatively charged about a subject to elated and enlightened in one day. So before you attempt to turn the tide, you need to slow the existing negative momentum down. Let’s take love as an example. You may have been looking for Mr or Miss right for many years, but over those years you may have built up a lot of negative momentum with thoughts like: I’m getting too old. Everyone worth dating is already taken. What’s wrong with me? I’ll never meet the right person. The more you entertain those thoughts, the worse you feel, and your circumstances are perpetuated; before long you’re in a place of despair, feeling that you’ll be alone for the rest of your life! To slow the momentum down on this subject, calm yourself and challenge the beliefs you’ve been telling yourself. More often than not, they’re not even based on truth. You could think: People find love at all stages of their lives. There’s no age limit to finding love. Many people find love later in life. I have many people in my life who love and care for me. The right person is out there, somewhere. I could meet him/her at any moment. Focus your attention on the love you do have in your life. Think of your family, pets or friends. Make a list of the people who care for you, and feel appreciation for their love. Now that you realise that you do have love in your life and there is no lack of love, you will start to feel a sense of relief. The negative emotion has slowed, you don’t feel quite so bad and you’re ready to start using the vibrational ladder to turn the tide of momentum towards what you do want. As you raise your vibration towards love, the manifestation of the form of love that you want will flow into your life. You must first feel an appreciation and alignment with the love that you already have. If you continue to use the vibrational ladder to move up the emotional scale, before you know it you will have significantly tipped the balance of energy in relation to the subject or situation, and the manifestation of that change of energy will have to occur. When starting out in the deliberate manifestation process, it’s best to avoid being really specific about what you want. Being specific limits the manifestation possibilities and also gives the desire a low vibration. Unless you can maintain a high frequency when being specific, it’s the easiest way to add negative thought and feeling into the process, and it becomes a major stumbling block for many people. You will most certainly need to build up to the point of being able to maintain a high vibration while being specific, so when starting out it is best to ‘generalise’ your desire. Here are some examples of being specific: I want a red Ferrari. I want $1,000,000 cash. I want a relationship with [name of specific person]. There is nothing wrong with wanting specifics – that’s how we gauge our desires. Yet when we hold on to a specific idea when deliberately manifesting, those details can very quickly trip us up and get in the way of our manifestations because we then expect them to come to us in a certain way. What if what you’ve asked for could manifest in an infinite number of ways instead of one specific way? Would you reject it if it came through a different channel to what you expected? When you generalise your desire and just concentrate on the feeling of receiving it in any way that it may manifest, you open yourself up to an infinite number of delivery options. How Do You Generalise? Your first port of call is to get to the heart of what you really desire. Lets take the above examples. First, identify what you really want: I want a red Ferrari Is it a sports car that you’re after? Is it the feeling of driving a car that’s so expensive? Is it how you would look in a Ferrari? Is it how you would feel when driving it? Would you be upset if the Universe delivered you a gold Ferrari or a top-of-the-range Maserati or Bentley or Lamborghini that was more slick, more expensive, more impressive and had a lot more power and features than the specific Ferrari you had in mind? Would you throw that delivery back? I want $1,000,000 cash in my bank account Would you be upset if a million dollars came to you through a cheque, property or bonds, or if the amount was $999,999,000? I want to get back with my ex-lover Would you be upset if the Universe delivered you someone new who is more perfectly matched to you and has even more of the qualities that you desire (because, let’s face it, your ex is an ex for a reason!). Would you throw the new Mr or Miss right back into the Universal void? We would think not. Putting limitations on our desires by being too specific is only going to frustrate the process and hinder your own evolution. The fastest way to attract something to you is to loosen your attachment to it. This, in a nutshell, is what generalising is all about. A Summary of the Process You experience negativity. A desire is born from it. You marinate in your inspired desire/thought, which releases it to manifest in the energetic realm. You align with the vibration through your thoughts and feelings. Your ego self submits to your higher self and opens the Universal gateway. You continue to stimulate the thought and feeling that you desire. Momentum builds. The Universe brings everything together to make that desire come to pass. Manifestation occurs. You enjoy the fruits of your desire. CHAPTER 11 The Vision Palace What Is a Vision Palace? A vision palace is a mental palace that you create and develop in your mind. It uses internal and external visual hooks and memories that trigger specific happy emotions and instantly puts you in vibrational alignment. How does it work? The vision palace works similarly to a memory palace (a visualisation technique used to enhance memory and organise information). We use visualisation to associate the chakras (energy centres) of the body with the seven areas of your life: family, social, spiritual, mind, career, finances and physical. We then use emotional and visual hooks to trigger specific emotions. The Chakras Starting from the bottom and moving up, the chakras are: 1. Base or Root Chakra (last bone in spinal cord, the coccyx) 2. Sacral Chakra (ovaries/prostate) 3. Solar Plexus Chakra (navel area) 4. Heart Chakra (heart area) 5. Throat Chakra (throat and neck area) 6. Brow or Third Eye Chakra (pineal gland or third eye) 7. Crown Chakra (top of head) The Seven Areas of Life For the purpose of the vision palace we have correlated the following chakras with the following life areas: Career – work – Crown Chakra Family – love – Base Chakra Physical – health – Heart Chakra Mind – Thought – Throat Chakra Financial – Wealth – Sacral Chakra Social – Friends – Solar Plexus Chakra Spiritual – Soul – Third Eye Chakra What Is an Emotional Hook and How Do I Use Them? An emotional hook is a sensory trigger that immediately takes you back to either a memory or a feeling. For instance, you may be walking down the street and smell a particular perfume or aftershave that instantaneously triggers the memory of a person or event. Or you may see a new mother gazing lovingly into her newborn baby’s eyes and remember the love you felt for your own children when they were born. There are many tools that you can use to trigger emotional responses for your vision palace. The more personal they are to you, the better. When special moments happen, remember to savour the moment and take a mental picture that you can revisit when you’re doing the visual palace exercise. Now that your palace is laid out, lets solidify your emotional hooks. You will need to find at least one emotional hook for each of the seven rooms that correlate with each of the seven chakras and seven areas of your life. You can find your emotional hooks through meditation or free association on your chosen subject or desire. Each subject or desire will fall into one of the seven categories. You will fill each room with emotional hooks accordingly. First, find a comfy spot. Before you begin your meditation or free association, enter the corresponding room in your mind by gently placing your hand and attention on the corresponding chakra (refer to the diagram to see where this is). This assists in connecting your earthly physical self to your higher vibrational self as you proceed to enter visualisation and start the energy flowing in each chakra area. In your mind, visualise how each room looks, from the colour scheme (each chakra has a specific colour – see below – so use that colour in the room related to it) to the décor and furniture. Associate each emotional hook with a specific object in the room – for instance, your mental picture may be located in a picture frame of your friends hanging on the wall of Social – Friends – Solar Plexus Chakra – Yellow. or a bottle of your partners perfume with a specific scent on a dressing table at the rear of the room. Family – love – Base Chakra – Red. Make each room comfortable, safe and welcoming. Enjoy the feeling of being in your own special, safe space that contains the memories and feelings of everything you love. Think of each room as being an emotional memory bank where you can access whatever correlating emotion you need at any given time. Here are some examples of emotional hooks. Crown Chakra = indigo = career A framed educational certificate (it could be a degree or a certificate of vocational study) hanging on the wall that makes you recall a sense of achievement and success Third Eye Chakra = blue = spirituality An image of Buddha that makes you recall the feeling of connection with your higher self Throat Chakra = turquoise = mind Scales that make you recall the feeling of balance and peace of mind Heart Chakra = green = physical A trophy that makes you recall the feeling of physical health, well-being and achievement Solar Plexus Chakra = yellow = social Dinner party foods that make you recall the feeling of fun and enjoyment with friends Sacral Chakra = orange = financial Your most prized possession that makes you recall the feeling of financial abundance Base Chakra = red = family Framed photos of special family events that fill the walls and make you recall the feeling of love that you have for your family. Exercise: The Vision Palace Visualization Now, before we start, make sure you’re in a quiet space where you can’t be disturbed. It’s important not to feel rushed or distracted while you do this exercise, so turn off the TV and your phone and relax. 1. Quiet your mind and breathe. Take ten deep breaths and exhale all of the stress and tension that you are holding within your body. 2. Now visualise pure, healing white light. Focus that pure white light on your toes and send it all the way up to the top of your head. Feel your body relax and accept the pure positive energy as it flows through your body. 3. Now imagine your body as a palace of divine energy. The doorway to the palace is located at your Third Eye Chakra. Place your hand over the Third Eye Chakra and focus your attention on it. 4. Visualise a doorway into your mind. Imagine yourself walking through that doorway. 5. You enter a room with beautifully arranged furniture and décor. It’s a calm and peaceful space. You sit down on a large comfortable sofa in the corner of the room, put your feet up and relax. On a table in the middle of the room is a vase with brilliant turquoise flowers and you appreciate the vibrant colour and scent of them. 6. Visualise each of the objects associated with your emotional hooks for that chakra and revel in the good emotional feelings of each one. 7. Do the same for each room in your palace. 8. As you leave each room, bless it with love and return to the present feeling refreshed and revitalised. When Are the Best Times for Us to Use the Vision Palace? Use the vision palace before you go to sleep and when you wake up. These are the best times to use the vision palace because it is first thing in the morning, as soon as you wake up, and while you are sleeping that your guards are down the most. Your mind is resting during these times, so it will throw a lot fewer pre-programmed obstacles at you. Creating a Vision Distraction Once you have filled the rooms of your palace with mental pictures you now have the tools to create a visual distraction with an instant emotional charge. To accelerate the power of the vision palace, combine it with the eighteen-second snap (mentioned in Chapter 10). From this point, do not allow any negative thoughts to progress for longer than eighteen seconds. As soon as you catch the negative thought or feeling, use your vision palace to sway the vibration in a positive direction. Eventually your emotional hooks will become so ingrained that you will be able to do this exercise anywhere and at any time. Try to reinforce the images in your palace in your physical world: for example, in your house, your car, at your desk at work, in your lockers at school – anywhere you go. Surround yourself with visual and emotional triggers of what you desire. CHAPTER 12 The Third Eye An Inspired State of Consciousness By now, you should be proficient at deliberately moving yourself into an inspired state no matter where you start emotionally. Now you have all the tools to manifest the life you desire. So what next? When you are in a deliberate state of inspired consciousness, you are vibrating on the same high frequency as creation itself. In this state, you have access to streams of consciousness on the same high vibration. When you are on a high frequency, you are in an awakened state that is similar to what the Hindus refer to as the opening of the Third Eye – an invisible eye that has perception beyond ordinary sight. The third eye refers to the gate that leads to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In fact, it’s believed that humans in far ancient times had an actual third eye in the back of their head with a physical and spiritual function. Over time, as humans evolved, this eye atrophied and sank into what today is known as the light-sensitive pineal gland (a pea-sized gland behind the third ventricle of the brain). This could easily be disregarded as a baseless legend passed down from generation to generation, except for the fact that leading scientists and medical researchers have confirmed that the structures within the pineal gland are uncannily similar to a cornea, retina and lens, so there is strong scientific and medical evidence that this gland could have very well been an eye. Throughout our human history there have always been reports of people reaching extraordinary states of enlightenment, and even some who have claimed to access not only inner additional realms but outer realms of consciousness during their states of meditation or inspiration. We also see evidence of high-frequency abilities in today’s culture, including people who claim to be psychic and/or clairvoyant, healers, people who have mastered telekinesis, people who can withstand inconceivable amounts of pain through mind over matter, and so many more that there would not be enough room in this book to list them all! Are all of these claims just a bunch of hocus-pocus, or are these individuals simply connecting to a higher vibrational plane, which gives them the ability to do things that the masses who are operating on a much lower vibrational level cannot? The ancients have passed down stories of similar abilities throughout time, especially the Ancient Egyptians, Mayan Indians and other indigenous cultures, where it is believed that there is not one separate enlightened being but a mass population of enlightened individuals all working together as a united community and evolving their way of life and consciousness collaboratively. Imagine a mass society of enlightened souls working together on this earth. It would be like having all the religious, spiritual and great minds of our time in one time and space. Could you imagine sitting at a dinner table with Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Einstein and every other figure who continues to inspire us today and having a chat about the meaning of life? Can you imagine what knowledge you would have access to? If everything that this book has pointed out about energy, vibration, frequency and the way the Universe operates is true, then there is no reason why we cannot connect to the same frequency as any soul that has ever – or will ever – exist, past, present or future. If energy cannot be destroyed and everything in existence is vibrational energy (including us), then we can access that vibrational frequency no matter the realm we are currently residing in. This is not a foreign notion, as currently in our own society we enter into states of meditation, prayer and worship in order to connect with what we call God or source energy – an entity who does not reside in a physical body or the physical realm. We are all source energy and are connected to each other and everything that exists at all times, so this is not a far-fetched notion. We call this notion vibrational streams of chatter. Vibrational Streams of Chatter This phenomenon occurs when you are in an inspired state and ideas, concepts and understanding flow to you and through you. Is it your own mind and ideas, or could it be a collaboration of consciousness communicating through you? How do we even explain in today’s times children who as young as three years old can do adultlevel maths, memorize university-level information and/or play the piano like Beethoven? Are we already subconsciously channelling the vibration of great minds who have already transformed back into vibrational energy? Or, channelling great minds of today who are still here in physical form? With what we know about the Universe and how it operates this is by no means a far-fetched notion. It’s not so much the mystery of this idea that excites us, but more the beauty of the fact that we can connect and share knowledge, love and life experiences no matter the physical circumstance. These moments of inspired chatter open our mind and propel us forward, awakening our soul to the infinite nature of the Universe that governs us. CHAPTER 13 The Awakening We have mentioned the Ancient Egyptians several times in this book. Besides being one of the most fascinating races since the dawn of humanity, they have been the most astonishing and successful deliberate manifestors to date. This highly advanced race was very aware of the presence and power of the vibrational energy that encompasses all of existence. In fact, it is believed that they were even aware of electricity and utilized its power in basic forms. Aside from this, their creations still baffle today’s architects and engineers, who find it difficult to explain how they managed to quarry and then transport stone slabs weighing up to 70 tons across the desert and up to the top of the Pyramids without the use of modern-day technology or formal education. How could such a primitive race have had such super intelligence, unequalled by anything we have today, with all our technology, inventions and gadgets? If you read more about the heart of the Ancient Egyptian culture, you will very quickly discover that they were an extremely connected, spiritual and enlightened race. In fact, they were so holistically in tune with their vibrational reality that they used harmonic sound waves in many healing and diagnostic methods to cure the sick and align the body, mind and spirit to its natural, vibrationally aligned state. Many of the hieroglyphics on the walls of the Pyramids reveal the Ancient Egyptians’ spiritual awareness, including the combination of the flail, the crook and the staff. The flail = balance of the mind. The crook = balance of human emotions. The staff = balance of the body. They were evidently aware that once balance of the mind, body and emotions was attained, they were able to gain access to higher spiritual enlightenment where consciousness could develop. They also knew that they were eternal beings. Their whole preparation for the afterlife confirmed the understanding that their souls or spirits would live on. The image of the staff never touched the ground, and this represented the knowledge that we are eternal beings having a temporary earthly experience. They were extremely aware of the power of meditation for clarity and creation and evidently harnessed that power to create things that were thousands of years ahead of their time. It has been suggested that the use and mastery of the principles of Universal Laws and the Law of Attraction are present in the way they functioned and connected with divine source energy. Our belief is that the Ancient Egyptians were so phenomenal because of their unhindered awareness and use of the natural elements and mother earth. They made it the foundation of their existence, and from it they learnt to expand their consciousness beyond anything we’ve encountered in more recent times. The result? Manifestations of such grandeur that they will live on and on throughout history and the most unexplained and seemingly humanly impossible creations of all time. There continues to be much debate and many people still scratch their heads and wonder how the Ancient Egyptians managed to achieve such amazing things with no formal education, machinery or tools to support them. However, their extraordinary abilities make perfect sense to us, given their highly evolved and connected state. We believe that having a lack of the type of technology we have today was potentially the biggest advantage that they had. Because they only had natural elements to rely on, they observed and had an acute awareness of their surroundings. From the starry skies above to the tides of the Nile below, to the specific way that the breeze manoeuvred the sand, they watched so closely and connected so intimately with their environment that they quickly realized that everything was connected and that all things affected each other. They were so in tune and had such awareness that it is believed that they had the ability to use 360 senses. This gave them the ability to view themselves and life from many different perspectives, whereas we are commonly limited to the five senses we all know (sight, smell, taste, sound and touch) and seem to hobble through life with a maimed vision and a less-than-clear perception. The truth is that we too have the same ability to choose to live our lives in this enlightened way. All we need to do is go back to our instinctive roots and connect to everything that nature and the Universe has to offer. If you have been plagued with limitations, or you think that you do not have the ability to create and manifest, remind yourself that the creation and manifestation of the Pyramids is proof that humans in ancient times created things so grand that their masterpieces have withstood the test of time and stand in existence today so that we, thousands of years later, can get on a plane and see them with our own eyes and touch them with our own hands as material proof of extraordinary manifestation. This is proof that NOTHING is impossible. In today’s society, we have been asleep to what surrounds us energetically and have been blind to the fact that we are all one. We were born into this world with such amazing resources at our disposal, born royalty of the Universe, born with this divine birthright stamped on our souls, and each and every one of us was given equal access to the abundance that the Universe holds for us all. For most of the history of humanity we have slept through our power, we have slept through our natural talents and abilities, we have slept through our universal wealth, we have slept through major opportunities to share, enlighten, co-produce, love, support, unite and build each other up as brothers and sisters of the divine. We have slept through the knowledge of our own importance and divinity, and most of all we have slept through why we chose to come and experience this extraordinary journey in human form. To be human means we have the ability to heal and to bleed; to experience love that totally captivates us and love that can bring us to our knees. You are here to experience the yin and yang in all things. To discover, to explore, to be lost and found, to cover your wounds and to shed your skin and learn how to fly; to exist and to find the beauty in it all, knowing that every person we meet, every circumstance we experience, is expanding us, is stripping back our earthly self and refining our spirit. The knowledge that we gain from these shades and these polar experiences, is the contrast and within it lays the golden wisdom of life and that is what we seek to nourish and enrich our souls. Yet most people wait for that one big epiphany before they start really living, realise their life purpose and unveil their divinity. Granted, some epiphanies can be monumental; yet throughout our lives we have many landmarks, many awakenings that are setting our soul alight. For example: That moment when you shift and awaken from the cotton wool bliss of just being a kid. One day you’re talking to your invisible friend; the next minute you realise there’s no Santa Clause and the magical world you once knew starts to take on a new type of magical meaning. The turning point of angst and irritation in your teens, when you go from being awkward to beginning to experiment with your individuality, Getting fed up with being fake later on in your twenties. The beginning point of the shedding of the ego self in your thirties. Anything after here is when life really begins. We have many little awakenings in-between and we identify them as growth spurts. During spiritual growth spurts we often experience it as a distinct stir, an uneasy, unsettled angst starting in the pit of our stomach. We become emotionally sensitive and moody; our mind becomes scattered; motivation is hard to come by; our emotions and behaviour are all over the place, and we feel like we literally want to break out of our skin. Then one bright morning we wake up. The shift is over and voila! Clarity. It’s only ever momentary clarity, of course, because we are ever-evolving. Yet in that precise moment, when our inner self is finally set free and we turn the emotional corner, there is relief, awareness and bliss, for our spirit has awoken. All of the life lessons that had led up to that point have been refined in our internal fire and finally been solidified. ‘The shift’ had taken place and now a new level of our life’s journey begins. The Awakening has occurred. Despite being aware of our many life awakenings and teaching the Creative Core to artists for many years, we had our biggest awakening to date when our identical twin girls were born. During the pregnancy, everything around us felt like it was falling apart. We were no longer able to operate at our usual pace; we had to change so much about our lifestyle to accommodate our new pending arrivals and, as we ran our own business, we had to cease certain sections for a period of time because we – physically and timewise – could not continue to do everything we used to. This became extremely distressing and we thought the business we had spent so long building was about to suffer a fatal blow. Then the twins arrived. These were two amazing miracles and, by far, our most extraordinary creation to date. Their birth exploded us wide open and love completely took over us. We started to see life from a very different perspective. It was as if we were given new eyes to see the world and everyone and everything that inhabited it. So many things that had weighed on our minds and held such importance now became irrelevant. We work in the TV and film industry, one of the most ego-centred industries in existence. Don’t get me wrong – it is also one of the most creative, aspirational and beautiful industries, yet it is known for its healthy share of ego across the board. We started to notice changes straight away. We were having adverse reactions to working with certain individuals. The things we used to put up with in our work environment quickly became things that we eliminated straight away. Even the projects we were working on went through a culling process, as there were certain projects that just no longer resonated with us. If the calibration didn’t feel right, we cut it off. If the project didn’t feel right, we walked away from it. This behaviour was extremely foreign to us, yet vibrationally we could not stand to be in the presence of anything that did not match where we were now at in our lives. It also started to happen internally for each of us as well. Any behaviour that did not match the new frequency was left behind. The unnecessary and old was simply shed. At first this was quite chaotic and distressing, yet we trusted the shifting process and allowed what needed to take place to take place. Because we were now operating from the love frequency (spirit self) instead of the ego frequency (earthly/ego self), everything that was no longer a vibrational match had no choice but to move. Then the most amazing thing happened. Flooding into our lives came amazing industry creatives who were an exact vibrational match. Work started to feel easy and joyful again. The creative part of the job – which is what we were attracted to in the first place – flourished. We were also in such an inspired state that we started to post quotes on Instagram, a medium that we had first rejected with gritted teeth. All of a sudden we started to get an influx of people contacting us, many asking questions, so we decided to start a blog called ‘The Quirky Guru Online’. Through Instagram and the blog, our love continued to multiply. We were solidly connecting, sharing and co-producing with people from all around the world, forming deep friendships with people who we had never even met in person. We experienced first-hand how intrinsically connected every single one of us is, and that we all experience the same things, the same fears, the same lulls, the same triumphs, the same highs and lows. Yet what became most prominent is how we came to be of service and support for each other as human beings by just connecting. This idea that we are separate, that we are in competition, that the world is an awful place, does not have to be our reality. All of the things that we are fearful of do not have to be our reality. We can choose; we can create our experience not only in our own lives, but also in who we are surrounded by and drawn to, and how this happens. This is what happens when an awakening occurs in your life. It can be a milestone, or it can be constant refinement, inside and out. Like the shift process with our emotions, the awakening has its own signs. Think of times in your life when everything around you seemed to just fall apart. Your relationship ended, you lost your job, your friendship circle deteriorated, or maybe it was a combination of many things that hit you all at once. An awakening is always preceded by a shift. Every time you have a shift, what follows is an awakening. Again, this process is often misunderstood as negative when in fact it is one of the most refining and purifying processes we as humans can experience. When we understand the process, it is then that we gain spiritual knowledge at an extremely rapid rate. With this comes immense spiritual power, for illusions start to fall away and we are granted the eyes of truth. Again, looking at the Ancient Egyptians, what a magnetising and extraordinary ability we as humans can possess when we awaken to the self-worth, love and knowledge inside us. Each life experience is leading us to a higher spiritual consciousness and each awakening is bringing us closer to being powerful creators on earth. When you awaken to the knowledge that you choose what you experience and what you see, the whole Universe opens up to you. From this awakening, we started to look at life through the eyes of love. We have many awakenings daily now, and we are constantly refining, constantly discovering more and more beauty, more and more to appreciate and more and more to enjoy. Yet this was not always the case. Both of us for many years were riddled with depression. Both of us had major nervous breakdowns and both of us suffered with anxiety. We share this, dear reader, so you know the truth: no matter where you are right now, you can shift; you can climb the vibrational ladder, you can have the life that you have always wanted. This awakening that we speak of is not really an awakening at all. It is an unveiling of what you already possess inside of yourself. You are the master key to the gateway of manifestation; you are the divine creator on earth and at any point you can decide to awaken to the infinite power within yourself; you can awaken to all the resources that the Universe has provided for all of us equally. You have now been reminded of knowledge you’ve had inside of you all along. Your thoughts and emotions create the outcome of your life. You have an inbuilt gauging system – your emotions. You can sway life in your favour by climbing the vibrational ladder. When you experience negativity, it’s not because something is wrong – it’s because something is right. You have evolved, and it’s time to shift. Through every shift, an awakening/unveiling will always follow. Ego will always be a stumbling block. Love will always propel you forward. You can turn your mind into an interactive vision palace and you can build momentum for manifestation in your desired direction anytime you want to. You now have the tools. You are now ready for deliberate manifestation. We dedicate this book to the life travellers, the journey-seekers, the kind-hearted, the souls that seek love, self-truth and wisdom, the quirky, the unique, the misfits and the children at heart. May this book be a reminder to you beautiful souls of your glorious divinity. Our closing dedication to you, dear reader: May your journey to enlightenment be filled with all the shades of light, leading and guiding your path home. In our darkest hour, it’s easy to think that we’ve been abandoned by our divine source. Most people dread the darkness, but for us it’s as valuable as the light, for we believe that it’s in those dark moments that we’re being refined and transformed from the inside out. Old ways fall away, and new paths are paved. We also start to understand more about the human condition, ourselves and others too. It is in these dark times we learn both how vulnerable and, equally, strong and resilient we really are. These humbling moments help us reconnect and eventually, when the tears finally fall, we release all resistance, all control. To us, this vulnerability is the most beautiful expression of our humanity, for when we are in the state of release we are raw, honest, unguarded and transparent. All of the chaos falls away and everything becomes clear again. Our wish for you today is that you find the true beauty in the darkness, that you experience the golden wisdom that it delivers, so you only have to visit it for a little while. That you experience the beauty of transformation and growth and, after you regain clarity and purpose, that you rise like a butterfly and reveal yourself in purity and all your splendid glory. Sending you all of our love, light and encouragement, Bianca Biasi and Rebekah Biasi The Quirky Guru Online
