Manifestation
Commentary by Peter Shepherd

“Don't give up on your dream because it is not going in the direction you want. There are different routes to the same destination. Stay focused and determined.” ~ Janice Harris
Believe without doubt and it will happen; that is manifestation. It's not willpower or magic. Because you believe, you join in, you do your part, you take responsibility in oneness with life. You embrace the vision with love; and this light exposes your fears as unnecessary, so any doubts are released. Your belief comes into your life.
“When you are truly clear about what you want, the whole universe stands on tiptoe waiting to assist you in miraculous and amazing ways to manifest your dream or intention.” ~ Constance Arnold
Forget about when, that will be sorted; just trust in the universe, and play your part in the manifestation - because you are a crucial aspect of the universe too!
“Your life is the manifestation of your dream; it is an art. And you can change your life any time you aren't enjoying the dream.” ~ don Miguel Ruiz
We wake up from this dream when we die, but it's not a bad idea to make it into a lucid dream and wake up a bit on a more regular basis, and direct your dream where you really want it to go.
“You manifest what you believe, not what you want.” ~ Sonia Ricotti
As Denise Linn says, "Shift the focus from what you want to do, to how you want to be... how you want to feel."
And Rumi: "You are a volume in the divine book, a mirror to the power that created the universe. Whatever you want, ask it of yourself. Whatever you're looking for can only be found inside of you."
“People naturally believe whatever the evidence in their life tells them is true. But if you stop to think about it, everyone has different evidence (because of different experiences and levels of awareness), which is why people believe different things (sometimes totally opposite things) about the same manifestation of reality. Are they all true? Yes, they are, to the person who believes them.” ~ Bill Harris
Bill went on to explain these beliefs cause a person to either 1) Attract, and be attracted to, people and situations that allow them to confirm the "trueness" of what they already believe (as when a woman who believes men are pigs keeps getting attracted to pigs); 2) Cause them to filter the evidence coming to them so as to interpret what is happening as confirmation that what they believe really is true, even if it isn't (as when a person interprets "I can't go out with you tonight" as "I don't really love you," even if that isn't really what is happening); or 3) They behave in such a way that they ultimately make what they believe to be true actually come true (as when a person who thinks they can never make money makes poor financial decisions and loses their money, gets into debt, and so on).
But we can create our reality more consciously. As Stretton Smith says, “When you see and feel it right in the wholeness of your being, you have then created the condition that makes the result inevitable.”

The Wheel of Life ~ by Peter Shepherd
Any pure intent manifests, but normally intent is not pure, it is mixed with conflicting intentions, subconscious fears and blocking beliefs. It's all "working" but not to the desired effect. There are whole structures of these things, for the most part outside our waking consciousness, and it is these structures that work on spiritual development needs to expose and releasee. Continues
