The best analogy is like a TV. You can watch one station or turn the channel to the next one. While on one channel you can’t perceive what is on any other channels, but you know they are there and they exist. In order to perceive opportunities you need to tune in to the necessary channel where those opportunities can happen for you and where you are in the correct vibration to see them.

Naturally, this assumes that you know exactly what you desire so you can automatically put yourself into that frequency. Being aimless will not help you here and many opportunities will go by without you knowing they even existed.

As far as changing realities, this is something we all do all the time. We are always shifting. It’s second nature to us. What we may not be so good at is shifting into the correct reality that will help us achieve our desire or pursue our greatest excitement. This is where affirmations can be helpful as well as creating future memories to give your higher self the road map and intended reality you aim to create so you can shift more easily into the reality you need to be in to perceive the opportunities that will get you what you desire.

When you are properly aligned you will be able to see many opportunities, and doors opening for you, that may seem to naturally come your way. People who are aligned this way seem to have opportunities come to them like magic from an outsider’s perspective. In order to create this in your own life you need to tune your vibrations to the desired reality, that already exists, where you can see and take advantage of these new opportunities.

It must become your world.

When your passions and desire reflect that the world you want to create and live in is in synch and harmony with your actions, behavior, and thoughts, you will begin to see synchronicities. This is the Universe showing you that you are not separated from it but are connected to everything. There are a lot of examples of people who follow their excitement and who are able to be supported by it. This is because their greatest desire is their world. Their want is what they live for and live to do.

In the smaller sense, you can do this simply by following your greatest excitement at any given moment. When you have any number of options, pick the one that will give you your most excitement. These little steps can get you to what you desire overall, but since you can’t see where the path leads in your physical mind, you have to trust your higher mind to get you there. At any given moment, follow whatever excites you the most. Trust that your desire will manifest.

Make that desire your world. That intense want for it is one of the most powerful forces we have.

The main problem with this type of input is that after awhile, you may start to believe they’re right. If you’re familiar with many of the things talked about here before, you know that this can actually cause you to not succeed because you may be unconsciously reflecting this negative reality back to you.

If you can, make it so you can’t hear the “No“s, the negatives. Filter who you listen to. If you know it’s possible, it is. It doesn’t matter what anyone else may  tell you. Some may find a solution to this by simply keeping their desires to themselves and working on it privately. There are many ways to effectively filter the outside opinions of other people. You really need to get people around you who believe you can achieve what you want, no matter what it is or how crazy it is to them.

In this information and digital age this can probably be done by just blocking those negative influences. For people who can’t avoid, stop listening, or just don’t tell them. You’ll find the solution you need to get yourself back on track when you see that some people are just going to hold you back. Real victories tend to happen in private anyway, and when you do get there the last people you’re going to remember who helped you get there were the naysayers.

Filter them out. Don’t listen. You can do this without them and you always could.

If you have done this practice before and saw how it actually came to pass you will understand the limitations of your physical mind. It is often said to create a future memory in your mind of what you want if you want that reality to happen for you. Combined with passion, drive, and intense desire these “future memories” can manifest themselves in your real life.

Speaking from a view that has seen this happen, where events manifested themselves in ways close to, but not entirely, as I saw it in my mind, I can tell you this bit of information is definitely correct. Your physical mind cannot see all the roads, paths, and opportunities that your High Mind can. When you can those future memories you are sending a message to your Higher Mind that this is something you want it to manifest for you. When you show your desire through your thoughts, actions, and behavior, in all that you are, the ball continues to roll to make it happen.

A fantastic example by Bashar about this is that your physical mind is in the valley while your Higher Mind is on the mountain top. Your Higher Mind can guide you to go left or right, while your physical mind may not understand the directions. Your Higher Mind is doing what it can to help you manifest your desire through the path of least resistance. What you perceive as the best scenario may not be exactly what your Higher Mind guides you to. It may, in fact, be better.

Your Higher Mind has better ability to take those future memories you give it and find you a path there. It is a necessary blueprint for manifestation to have those future memories and create them as much as you can to give your Higher Mind more to work with. Remember again, it can see much further than you can. It will let you be aware of opportunities you would not otherwise be tuned into and collect skills and experiences along the way to make you as best prepared as you can be by the time you arrive at your desire.

Future memories are an important building block in manifestation. Combined with understanding manifestation, being in tune to the reality you want to create, and staying aware of every opportunity and synchronicity will carry you a long way, if not right to the doorstep of your desire.

The past, to be blunt, is gone. Things you want to happen in the future may simply be the wrong way of looking at it. Things don’t happen in the future. They happen in the Here and Now. The Here and Now is where you’ll realize your dreams, it’s the only measure of time you actually experience and it’s the point at which all your influence starts and builds from.

This is why you hear things like “Someday is not a day on the calendar.” They’re just telling you if you want something, don’t plan it in the future, create it in the Here and Now. The Here and Now is all we have. This moment.

You’ll find this same wisdom echoed in countless different ways and variations all telling you the same thing. Act now. Chase it now. Work for it now. Now is all you have. The Here and Now can change both the past and future.  You can affect your entire perception of time by changing yourself in the Here and Now.

Right now. This moment. The one that follows it. This is where you must make changes if you want to change your reality.

We only have today.

• Write It Down: This simple step takes your thought and puts it into a tangible and concrete reality. An important first step. You can define, refine, and increase your specificity with this too over time.
• Affirmations: I find doing these twice a day is enough. You may be more comfortable once a day or more. They keep your desire in your thoughts day to day to assure you’re always thinking about it.
• The Seinfeld Method: This is a great technique to keep you working day to day and even provides a lot of motivation so that you don’t break the chain. This provides more tangible evidence to you work is getting done, a result based technique over time, that shows you progress is being made even if it is not happening quickly.
• Notes To Yourself: These is a simple idea also designed to keep your desire on your mind. Put notes to yourself about it on your refrigerator, your computer monitor, maybe in your car. Somewhere you have to look every day.
• Work: Good, old fashioned, hard work will always bring results. Work on your desire every day. In any small way or big way you can. Don’t stop until you have it.
• Prepare: When opportunities come, and they will, you’ll see some may require certain skill sets or knowledge for you to take advantage of them. Since you know better than anyone what you desire you’ll know better than anyone exactly what of these things you’ll need. Learn them now, make the connections now, learn any and all skills necessary. It may be awhile before an opportunity rings again, if it ever does, so when it does make sure you’re ready for it.
• Refocus Yourself: If you want to create a specific reality or event part of it is tuning in yourself to a world where that exists. You need to search within yourself and find anything that needs to be fine tuned or retuned to better make what you desire happen. Change from within is very powerful. Tune in to the very essence of what you want and live there.

These make a lot of small impacts over a long period of time which can snowball after awhile. At the very least they are baby steps of progress and progress will eventually get you to what you desire. These are not quick fix suggestions, since something you desire more than anything else in the world you’ll pursue to the ends of the Earth to make it a reality, meaning you’re in this for the long haul.

Anyone can create anything they want if they simply believe they can. How you chase it determines if you’ll get to have it.

The first step to getting what you want to is decide what you want.

You want to make that desire clear in your mind. Specific. When you decide this you are picking something that will probably already be a passion, close to your heart and fills you with excitement. The thought of this should make you excited. That you can’t wait for the day that its realized.

I realize its not always possible to define all aspects of it to the clearest points depending on what you want. One thing I’ve discovered was that I was unable to reflect a place, with anything but vague knowing, that I had never been. On the way to the bigger picture, however, what I had set in motion and the multiple branches and relating things I wanted to it, in that moment along the way, were realized in their basic sense and all but a few, which needed more time, actually took place as I imagined.

Visualization, future memory, and affirmations are important, but if you see your desire will send you to place you’ve never been before, then seeing everything clearly may not be possible. Try to define as much of your desire as possible. Be specific. As specific as you can be. It starts first in a thought. An idea. This very specific, highly desired thought, will be what starts everything rolling.

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.”
Abraham Lincoln (1809 – 1865)”

“To follow, without halt, one aim: There’s the secret of success.”
Anna Pavlova (1885 – 1931)

“Man is what he believes.”
Anton Chekhov (1860 – 1904)

“In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true either is true or becomes true.”
John Lilly

“Some things have to be believed to be seen.”
Ralph Hodgson, on ESP

“They can conquer who believe they can.”
Virgil (70 BC – 19 BC)

“The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.”
Ben Stein

The easiest way to illustrate these mental chains is with money, of course. You want to improve your income. Your goal could be as simple as making $100 a day. For some people this is peanuts, for others this is a very high line. Where you set your mind is as important as what you intend to accomplish. Every thought needs to have purpose. Every word of it will need to finely crafted to achieve exactly what it is you want.

So, for the purpose of this post, $100 a day is not thinking big enough. Why can’t you make more? Do you deserve to make more? Maybe you should aim for $1,000 a day instead. The mind has an interesting way of jumping in the way here with objections.

“There’s no way you can make that much!”

“That’s unrealistic!”

“No one is going to pay you $1,000 a day!”

And on and on and on…

This thinking you need to eliminate. It won’t help you. When you do, the excuses trigger comes next. It seems already preprogrammed in to tell you, at this point, that perhaps you can, but here’s why you can’t:

“I’m too busy to put that much work in.”

“There isn’t enough hours in the day to make this happen.”

“I’m working five days a week, so this isn’t possible.”

After you successfully get past your mind’s objections, and then your mind’s excuses, you can finally get to where you should have been all along. Not only can you do this, you can exceed it. With your thoughts in the right place, and overcoming or ignoring this aspect of your mind that says you can’t, you finally, can get to work. You really need to stop telling yourself all the reasons why you can’t and start telling yourself all the reasons why you can.

With your new goal in mind you can finally begin working toward it. No objections. no excuses. You will have overcome your biggest enemy to your success, you, and will do what it takes to make that goal a reality. There may still be more mental roadblocks to clear, which now you’ll see better as you take on this new challenge, if only to prove to yourself, that you can.
