Is it possible to feel relief on a topic from a point that is not your 'trained vibration?'

2010-07-29T09:25:02Z

I was just doing a focus block on a very minor topic (in the frequency it occurs) that has been consistent in my life for a few years now.

I was feeling very good when I started and was working through it for a few statements, feeling what I thought was a release of resistance. Then all of a sudden a statement shot through my head on the topic that made me angry. I'm not sure if it was really 'relieving'. I enjoy the feeling. I have never felt anger that intensely concerning the topic though.

Just so everyone can see, I'll post the few statements I had (with name changed):

This actually leads me to a few questions:

1) Perhaps I should not do focus blocks when I'm feeling good? (I'm not so sure I would be able to get that many done though, if that were the case!)

2) It seems to me like it's gone backwards...the first statements I definitely believe and they offered relief, from some point. Then it's like all of a sudden I 'snapped' into a 'worse' than normal feeling I have when the situation occurs.

Is it actually possible to feel genuine relief about a subject from a good feeling place...and then snap into the 'trained vibration' where that earlier feeling of relief just vanishes?

Perhaps I should spend time before starting focusing more specifically on the situation that causes the feeling before starting with the focus block. (Although that brings me to the dilemma of 1))

If you could turn back time.....what would you do?

2010-01-10T22:45:45Z

Self-explanatory...I will answer my own question after you folks have posted your answers...Please, have fun!

Love, Jai

How does one let go of the energy of "Taking care of"?

2010-07-28T19:24:49Z

Is there a way to assist ones we love without absorbing their energy due to the energy of "taking care of" them?

What is God's will? And how do you follow God's will?

2009-10-23T09:45:03Z

I have been thinking about our will lately. Which in my opinion is the directing of attention. In other words, my will power is the movement of my attention to where ever I focus it. Assuming the infinite intelligence is God. How do you follow God's Will? or What is God's Will?

What are God's specific Will?

2010-07-27T12:39:50Z

BIBLE REF: "And we are sure of this, that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will" 1 John 5:14 (TLB)... Can someone please itemize the specific will of God for: Financial Prosperity, Health, Love, Peace, Wisdom, Justice, Freedom, Guidance, Understanding, Faith, Spirit, Power, Love, Youth, Success, Victory, Happiness, Purpose, Achievement, Mastery, Dominion etc

The Symphony of Science Project

2010-04-18T01:29:51Z

This post is marked Community Wiki since it is not a real question, but is just information. No one will gain any reputation points from it.

Symphony of Science

The Symphony of Science is a musical project headed by John Boswell designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical and video form. I was so inspired by these videos that I thought I would share some of them here.

A little technical background: The author of these videos uses a tool called Antares Autotune to take speaking voices and turn them into singing. Autotune works by changing the pitch of the speech while preserving the formant information, thus avoiding the "chipmunk" effect that normally occurs during
pitch-shifting.

With that, here are descriptions and links for a couple of the videos:

We are all connected
"We Are All Connected" was made from sampling Carl Sagan's Cosmos, The History Channel's Universe series, Richard Feynman's 1983 interviews, Neil deGrasse Tyson's cosmic sermon, and Bill Nye's Eyes of Nye Series, plus added visuals from The Elegant Universe (NOVA), Stephen Hawking's Universe, Cosmos, the Powers of 10, and more. It is a tribute to great minds of science, intended to spread scientific knowledge and philosophy through the medium of music.

A Glorious Dawn
"A Glorious Dawn" was crafted from sampling Carl Sagan's 1980 PBS Documentary Cosmos and Stephen Hawking's 1997 PBS cosmology documentary series Stephen Hawking's Universe.

Enjoy!

Why am I not receiving money even though I 'expect' it?

2010-07-28T17:41:38Z

I consider I´ve done some progress in mind power, my relationship with my wife is gettting better, formerly we were thinking of divorce! But I have still some issue with receiving money...

Actually I don´t know which point I miss.

I SEE MYSELF RECEIVING MONEY, I EXPECT IT BUT... NOT MUCH HAPPENS.

How can I pass the limit of survival and boost the energy to abundance? I am doing almost daily meditation for one year now.

Best regards,

THE POWER OF INTENTION Wayne Dyer - Reading Notes

2010-07-28T23:23:27Z

I finished the book, here are my notes, great stuff:

THE POWER OF INTENTION

Chapter 1: Viewing Intention from a New Perspective

Whenever feeling any type of “low energy”, visualize the trolley strap hanging down from the field of intention 3 feet above your head. Imagine floating up and allowing the trolley strap to carry you to your built-in intention.
Say “intention” or “intent” when you are in a state of anxiety.
Say to yourself “I’m here on purpose; I can accomplish anything I desire”.
Act as if anything you desire is already here.

Chapter 2: The Seven Faces of Intention

Visualize the power of intention
Be like a mirror, don’t grab onto things or people, and don’t judge either.
Expect beauty.
Meditate on appreciation of the life force in you.
Banish doubt. Don’t doubt your ability to create the life you intended.

Chapter 3: Connecting to Intention

To realize your desires, match them with your inner speech. Your inner speech mirrors your imagination. Your imagination is linked to spirit.
Think from the end. Feel everything as you already have it.
Practice unbending intent.
Memorize the seven faces of intention.
Always keep the thought of Gods abundance in mind.

Chapter 4: Obstacles to Connecting to Intention

Monitor your inner dialog. Stop the what is missing crap. Instead change your inner dialog and thinking to I intend to attract….
Reject thoughts that don’t allow you to match up to intention. Lighten moments of doubt and depression.
Be aware of low energy, and resolve to bring high energy. –(Thoughts)
Talk to your ego; tell it has no control over you today.
View obstacles as a way to stay connected to intention.

Chapter 5: Your Impact on Others when Connected to Intention
Become aware of the importance of making all of your relationships divine. Want for other people what you want for yourself, and let them know it.
When a question of morality arises concerning how you should act towards others, simply ask yourself, what would the Messiah do?
Keep track of the judgments you direct toward yourself and others. Only send out thoughts of compassion, helping you manifest your own individual intention. IT’S THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.
Whenever others want, want it for them so strongly that you disperse this energy outward and act from this level of spiritual consciousness.
By simply thinking and feeling in harmony with the power of intention, you cancel out the negativity of a minimum of 90,000 people if not millions.

Chapter 6: Intention and Infinity

Say, “I’m no longer identified by this body/mind, and I reject this label from this moment on. I’m infinite. I’m one with all of humanity. I’m one with my source, and this is how I choose to view myself from this day forward.
I will exist for all eternity. Just as love is eternal, so is this my true nature. I’ll never be afraid (a WUSSY) again, because I am forever. This aligns you to the active side of infinity.
You are an infinite spiritual being having a temporary human experience = LOVE You are not a human having occasional spiritual experiences = FEAR
Whenever feeling lower depressing/anxious/fearfull energies, stop for a moment and think if it makes sense from the perspective of the active side of infinity.
Take a few moments to reflect on the people you were close to and loved who have crossed over, be aware of their presence.

Chapter 7: It is my Intention to: Respect Myself at All Times

Look into the mirror and say “I love me” to maintain self-respect.
Repeat over and over again, “I am whole and perfect as I was created.”
Extend more respect for others and to all life.
Affirm to yourself and all others that you meet that “you belong!”
Remind yourself that you are never alone.
Respect your body.
Meditate to stay in conscious contact with your source, which always respects you.
Always remember the self in self respect. You can’t recognize others opinions of you as facts.
Be in a state of gratitude. It’s the same as being in a state of self respect.

Chapter 8: It is my Intention to: Live my Life on Purpose

Affirm that in an intelligent system, no one shows up by accident, including you.
Seize every opportunity, no matter how small, to give your life away in service.
Align your purpose with the field of intention.
Ignore what anyone else tells you about your purpose.
Remember that the all creating field of intention will work on your behalf.
Study and replicate the lives of people who’ve known their purpose.
Act as if you’re living the life you were intended to live, even if you feel confused about this purpose.
Meditate to stay on purpose.
Keep your thoughts and feelings in harmony with your actions.
Stay in a state of gratitude.

Chapter 9: It is my Intention to: Be Authentic and Peaceful with All My Relatives

Identify your intention verbally and in writing, and develop a deep yearning for it. Pray for the miracle of the inner awakening which will never leave you no matter where you are or who you are with. Don’t pray to God for a miracle right now in a certain situation.
Intent for all your relatives, what you intend for yourself.
Be the peace you’re seeking from others. Say hi to your fear, anxiety, depression, and other low energies, and they will slowly vanish.
Match up with the 7 faces of intention. Your intention to be in peaceful relationships is now talking form- first in your mind, then in your heart, and ultimately it will materialize.
Review all the obstacles that have been erected on your path to family peace. Remind yourself that when you think about what you resent, you act upon what you think about, while simultaneously attracting more of it.
Act as if you see the light in others, and treat them as if that’s all you see.
Detach from the outcome. Don’t try to change others. Letting go and letting God.
Affirm: I attract only peace into my life.
Hold no grudges, and practice forgiveness.
Be in a state of gratitude.

Chapter 10: It is my Intention to: Feel Successful and Attract Abundance into My Life

See the world as an abundant, providing, friendly place.
Affirm: “I attract success and abundance into my life because that is who I am.”
Stay in a sate of allowing. In an attitude of allowing, all resistance in the form of thoughts of negativity or doubt are replaced with simply knowing that you and your source are one and the same.
Use your present moments to activate thoughts that are in harmony with the seven faces of intention. Say, “I want to feel good.” Remember, Good=God.
Initiate actions that support your feelings of abundance and success.
Remember that your prosperity and success will benefit others, and that no one lacks abundance because you’ve opted for it.
Monitor your emotions as a guidance system for your connection to the universal mind of intention.
Become as generous to the world with your abundance as the field of intention is to you.
Devote the necessary time to meditate on the spirit within as the source of your success and abundance.
Develop an attitude of gratitude for all that manifests into your life.

Chapter 11: It is my Intention to: Live a Stress-Free, Tranquil Life

Remember that your natural state is joy. Say, “I come from peace and joy. I must stay in harmony with that from which I came in order to fulfill my dreams and desires.”
Your thoughts, not the world, cause your stress. The negative thoughts keep you from manifesting your desires.
You can change your thoughts of stress in any given moment, and eliminate the anxiety for the next few moments, or even hours or days.
Monitor your stressful thoughts by checking on your emotional state right in the moment. “Do I feel good right now?” If no, then say, “I want to feel good.” Then, “I intend to feel good.”
Make a conscious choice to select a thought that will activate good feelings.
Spend time observing babies and vow to emulate their joy.
Keep rule #6 in mind, “Don’t take yourself too seriously.”
Accept the guidance of your source of Intention.
Practice being in silence and meditation.
Stay in a state of gratitude and awe.

Chapter 12: It is my Intention to: Attract Ideal People and Divine Relationships

Move away from hoping, wishing, praying, and begging for the right person or people to show up in your life.
Conceptualize your invisible connection to the people you’d like to attract to your life.
Form a picture in your mind of meeting the person you’d like to have assist you or be in partnership with you.
Act upon the inner picture.
Take the path of least resistance.
Practice being that kind of person you want to attract.
Detach from the outcome, and practice infinite patience. Create a knowing within. Don’t let your ego evaluate the success of intention.
Practice meditation, particularly the Japa meditation, to attract ideal people and divine relationships.
Look upon everyone who has ever played any role in your life as having been sent to you for your benefit.
As always, remain in a state of eternal gratitude.

Chapter 13: It is my Intention to: Optimize My Capacity to Heal and be Healed

You can’t heal anyone until you allow yourself to be healed.
The healing energy that your are connected to at all times is what you have to give away to others.
By raising your energy to a vibrational match with the field of intention, you’re strengthening your immune system and increasing the production of well-being enzymes in the brain.
Practice surrender! Let go and let God.
Don’t ask to be healed; ask to be restored to that perfection from which you emanated.
Know that you are adored.
Seek out and cherish the silence.
To be healthy, you must totally identify with the wholeness that you are.
Allow health to stream into your life.
Stay immersed in a state of gratitude.

Chapter 14: It is my Intention to: Appreciate and Express the Genius That I Am

Declare yourself to be a genius! This should be between you and your creator.
Make a decision to listen more carefully to your inner insight, no matter how small or insignificant you may have previously judged them to be.
Take constructive action towards implementing your inner intuitive inclinations.
Know that any and all thoughts that you have regarding your own skills, interests, and inclinations are valid.
Remind yourself that aligning with spiritual energy is how you will find and convey the genius within you. Be an appreciator of life, and refuse to have thoughts of hatred, anxiety, anger, and judgment. Trust yourself as a piece of God and genius will flourish.
Practice radical humility. Give credit everywhere but to your ego.
Remove resistance to actualize your genius.
Look for genius in others.
Simplify your life.
Remain humble while staying in a state of gratitude. Gratitude is a sacred space where you allow and know that a force greater than your ego is always at work and always available.

I would like to share something helpful..may be useful to others.

2010-07-28T23:20:01Z

When I completely let go and was OK with not having what I wanted, in many cases, unfortunately not all, but in more than I expected, things turned around for me.

I'm not sure how it works, if it fits into anything on this site but I would use all these methods for many things and a lot of them only came when I completely surrendered and told myself I would be OK without them. In one case i got a phone call the same exact moment I was telling myself I am OK with letting go of it.

I have made a list of 5 major things in my life that ended up working out like that...

I thought I would share this, even if it can help one person.

Can one deflect their own ill fate onto other people?

2010-07-28T13:14:19Z

2 flights took off this morning from the same airport 10 minutes apart, 1 crashed I was on the one that didn't. Last night I couldn't sleep at all no matter how hard I tried even though I was sleepy. I managed to catch 45 mins of shut eye and then went to the airport. I am a seasoned traveller but for some reason as the plane took off I had a thought what if we crashed due to bad weather? I replaced the thought with the image of a golden protective light enveloping the plane. I spent the entire flight repeating affirmations of happiness and success and soon I had a slight smile on my face and I felt very peaceful. I reached my destination, checked into the hotel and switched om the TV to find that the other flight had crashed! The people on that flight were with me at the airport, I saw a family mom, dad and kids going through the security before me, I can't forget the face of the dad who was taking care of the 2 toddlers while mom had gone to retrive a bag that they had forgotten at the gate.

I can't seem to shrug off the feeling that perhaps that crash was meant for me but somehow I deflected it on to the other flight. Is that possible? If so does that mean that events are destined to happen and if they don't happen to the people they were meant for they still occur anyway? If so then are certain things predestined to occur with humanity?

Can we manifest for the ego...

2010-07-28T23:09:17Z

This was inspired by Michaela's answer here, thank you Michaela.

How is manifesting for the ego or "from the place of" the ego different than manifesting from a spiritual place.

Example:

Manifesting money is for the ego, usually for physical riches, creature comfort; someone can be perfectly secure and happy without it, although it does helps most of us reach that without being spiritual.

Manifesting friends, happiness, health or emotional freedom comes from a more spiritual place.

Does manifesting in one work better than the other?

Is it as cut & dry as manifesting from a place of ego vs. spirit?

Any insight may be helpful.

Thank You.

LOA - thought vs. physical action - are both needed?

2010-07-28T16:39:39Z

Then you are assuming it is possible to get good grades only by thinking of getting them, without any learning? Law of Attraction only compliments your physical actions. – Asklepios 4 hours ago

(Thanks Asklepios for this answer)

My questions is: Is both needed? LOA is usually advertised as thought only...I'm confused.

Should I just focus on thought or both when trying to manifest....?

What is the spiritual or behavioral effect of making others feel good inside?

2010-07-27T23:38:22Z

Has anyone focused on making another person feel good inside? Not just in general but really trying consistently?

For example, promoting happy thoughts, making them laugh, ignoring whatever other people may make fun of them for, etc. Creating a nice reality for them in your presence....

As an experiment, I used a classmate in a college course and every time we had class, made that classmate feel as good as possible, without them knowing or being too obvious.

During that time, I probably felt the most alive of any time I can remember.

Is there any topic on the spiritual side of such a thing? Anyone else tried a similar "experiment"?

Thank You.

The beginning of enlightenment and true knowledge of the LOA, is tough no?

2010-07-28T02:50:03Z

The past few weeks have really transformed my thinking...I've discovered the Teachings of Abraham and completely resonate with it. Things are becoming clearer esp since I've been searching for the past few years for the key to life.

At times I feel happiness when thinking about this new found knowledge and all the processes but at other times like now. I feel overwhelmed with information or I wonder if i'm doing things right.

Is it normal to go through this process of frustration and overwhelment when first discovering this info and implementing these process?

(as I type this I remember reading that when you begin meditating things start getting werid because you become more aware of your vibrations. Does anyone else agree with that statement? ahve you experienced it?)

Thanks for you encouragement. It's much appreciated.

What are your daily practices which allow for spiritual growth and expansion?

2010-03-07T10:32:59Z

Aside from the Inward Quest, I sit quietly every morning, I have a Yoga asana practice, I practice walking meditation, and alternate nostril breathing. I practice gratitude, understanding and smiling. I also have a 3 and a 2 year old keeping me in the present moment. Just curious, I know there are many different spiritual practices out there.

Why has the Middle East always been a source of war and disputes?

2010-02-05T16:30:13Z

I have a theory about the Middle East- maybe it is crazy, I do not know. All those people live above vast oil fields. Oil fields consist of long-ago dead animals and plants. It must be like living above a vast graveyard. Could this somehow be affecting the people there? Or is it religion alone? Why don't these people understand that if they unified, they would be a vast power on Earth?

Blessings, Jai

I truly believed I was smart at school but my grades were only average. Why?

2010-07-27T01:59:16Z

When I was in middle and high school (ages 12-17) people always assumed I was really smart because I wore glasses, was the typical nerd, I guess the way I just was, etc.

So, I always thought I was really smart or I should say smarter than most people.

However, my grades were average, the entire time.

I thought when I got to high school I would be even smarter. Didn't happen.

Perhaps I was a bit smarter in middle school but it didn't carry on to high school and that really hurt me because people still assumed I got good grades even when I told them I didn't.....just based on the way I LOOKED and I really thought I was really that smart.

Nevertheless, I truly lived it too but it began to wear off in my mind.

My question is, I truly believed this. This is what I constantly thought. (I was smarter than most).

It turns out I was almost less than average.....how the heck does something like this happen??

Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks!

What role do myths play in moral and spiritual growth?

2009-11-07T05:27:08Z

Ever since people have spoken, they have related myths to one another. We have an apparent need for myths. What is their purpose and do they play a role in our personal development, morally and spiritually? Does it matter if we believe the myth or not? Should a myth be interpreted literally or in some symbolic way (such as metaphorically or allegorically)?

Is there a field of neuroscience that explores the human perspective of LOA?

2010-07-26T23:05:02Z

Is there a field of neuroscience that digs deeper into the human perspective of LOA? Shouldn't this be an official area of study (as in a degree from a university, etc)? how is it so under represented yet the basis of our reality?

What if there is a better or different way of connecting to spirit and using the LOA but our small minds can not even imagine what it is?

Will someone look at these posts 1,000 years from now and say "If they only knew__"....

What if there is a door right in front of us that our biggest accomplishments in spirituality and LOA have only scratched at?

Considering we only uses at most 10% of our brain, I'm thinking we have NO CONCEPT of what it is capable of....

Does God or Source have an ultimate goal or purpose in mind?

2010-01-21T21:10:00Z

Does God or Source have an ultimate goal in mind? and if so what is it? If it is enlightenment for humanity as a whole and we eventually evolve and ascend to that state, what then? Everyone lives happy ever after?

Is my feeling that something is about to manifest just positive-thinking?

2010-07-24T20:35:46Z

This may sound like a boring question but I have been practising L.O.A for a few weeks now and over the last 24 hours or so, have had this weird feeling that something is about to happen. (Ive asked the universe for four different things, three of which are quite big) and I feel very nervous and excited which is VERY unlike me. Is this just me thinking positive or do these so called vibrations actually exist?? Or am I just going mad ha ha. Your thoughts and stories plz, xxx

What are your thoughts about the paradox between the religious God and the Universe in LOA?

2010-07-24T21:50:41Z

As per LOA we desire and the Universe provides it if we allow it. The Universe or the Source by my understanding is another name for God. This means that the Universe is at our beck and call but our religious beliefs about God are the He is our Lord and Master, we are at His mercy - He giveth and He taketh away... This apparent paradox makes me uneasy, when I pray I am used to beseeching Him whereas in LOA I simply think and the desire is created. What are your thoughts about this, anyone else have a similar dilemma?

How Important is Diet & Nutrition in the Manifesting Process?

2010-07-25T23:58:43Z

As we are all energy, how important is diet and nutrition in the creating and manifestation process? Also, does taking synthetic chemicals slow or alter the ability to manifest?

God talking to people? Why doesn't he talk to me, I will listen...

2010-07-22T00:29:08Z

Lately, I have been hearing the phrase "The Lord told me" such and such

I get skeptical of the person every time I hear that.
How come the Lord never speaks to me?
How does that person know the Lord is speaking to them and it's not their own thoughts?

BTW- this doesn't mean I don't have faith in God....

What's the secret in Think And Grow Rich?

2009-10-04T00:36:43Z

In the book Think And Grow Rich, the author says there is a secret contained in the book but doesn't reveal what it is. Instead he lets you work it out for yourself.

So what's the secret?

Why do you continue to visit the Inward Quest website?

2010-06-11T21:45:25Z

Hello Inward Questers,

Just a quick question from me to anyone that regularly participates in, or reads Inward Quest:

Why do you continue to visit the Inward Quest website?

This is mostly to give us an idea of the typical contributor/visitor, if such a person exists, to help us with "marketing" the site to the right audience, and partly for my own curiosity!

This "question" is Community Wiki because it isn't a proper Inward Quest question, so you won't get any points if you choose to answer.

Thanks, Simon

I am 100% sure that a certain event will happen, but how to accelerate the process?

2010-07-24T13:59:51Z

I am 100% sure that certain event will happen but how to accelerate the process?

We must think about it constantly?
We see it as fact and we forget?
We act as if they were real?
We make plans for the event?
All of the above?

Can you use Focus Blocks for any desire, including developing character traits?

2010-07-24T17:58:47Z

So I'm studying the focus blocks and today I'm writing lists of things that bother me in my life lol.

I'm going to buy a set of dice today and perform the focus blocks method.

My question is, can you develop character traits by using this method? Say I wanted to be more humorous with people, or say I wanted to be more hardworking or productive?

I guess my question is can I place ANY desire whether it's abstract, concrete, a characteristic, a new car, a relationship, and past relationship, work situations etc...

Please give me examples of desires that others have had that they have had success with.

I'm really enjoying this newly found knowledge and it is blowing my mind how amazing this stuff is. i feel like a new world is upon me.

Thanks for you answers :)
