Your vibration will always trump what you're doing with visualization. You can visualize all day long about your dreams but if you're settled at a low vibrational frequency eg depression, powerlessness, worry etc you will only manifest things that are a match to your frequency not what you're visualizing.

So, for example, if you're settled in a lower vibrational frequency and you're visualizing the love of your life coming to your door and sweeping you off your feet you could manifest that very fast if you're dominant vibration was a match to how you would feel if that really happened. In the reality with the love of your life you would be feeling love, ecstasy, excitement so if you were in a vibration of love, ecstasy and excitement and you visualized that it would manifest.

If your dominant vibration is lower than love and excitement then there is no match to that scenario so you would manifest something that matched your frequency. So, if your dominant frequency is worry, for example, then you would manifest situations that cause you worry.

I would just like to add something, as there seems to be a lot of questions on manifesting partners on IQ at the moment. The connection that you're all truly looking for is the connection to your inner being not to a man/woman. You believe that having the man or woman in question would make you 'feel good' but feeling good is a consequence of being in alignment with your inner being not a consequence of being with a dream man or woman. There are PLENTY of people in relationships and marriages that are utterly miserable because whilst they have the man/woman they don't have the connection to their inner being so misery is still a part of their lives.

Generally what people do is 'fall in love' which is basically focusing on all the good things in their partner, feeling the excitement of the experience and those love/excitement feelings are a perfect match to your inner being. Your inner being is screaming YES to you when you feel that way so you're aligned. The problem comes when you're vibration is not stable at love, appreciation, excitement (alignment) and soon your dominant vibration will pop up and the novelty of the lover wears off, you're no longer focusing on all the good things about them and you settle back into your habitual vibration whatever that may be: worry, insecurity, frustration etc cue all the relationship problems that begin and then you wonder where is your 'and we live happily ever after'.

What Abraham and IQ recommend is to align with your inner being (IB) now, feel good now. That is what you're really reaching for and being in a love relationship with another person does not guarantee you will align with your IB and being in alignment with your IB is the only way you will ever be able to 'feel good' on a regular, continuous basis.

If you begin a relationship when alignment is your habitual vibration then you will live happily ever after. But once you get to that place you can be happy with a partner or without partner. You can't lose from that place. That is true freedom.

Interesting question.

Being in one's preferred vibrational frequency and visualising one's desires are two separate things. When one is in one's preferred vibrational state one will not feel the desire to visualise and manifest what one feels one lacks. When one is outside the preferred vibrational frequency one desires to be in, shifting to that desired frequency will aid in the greater manifestational properties of one's desires to further expand that vibrational frequency experience.

Put simply, when one focuses on desires of a higher vibrational frequency that do not correspond with one's chosen vibrational frequency, such desires will not, and cannot, manifest. This is not to say that such 'rockets of desire' are unanswered. Rather it is more that one is not matching the frequency one wishes to resonate in. When one matches such a frequency, one will find one's visuals manifest.

One is not in a position to manifest a visual desire, unless one is in the vibrational frequency in which such a manifestation may occur. Thoughts not of a match to one's vibrational frequency are stored in an ethereal escrow (dark energy non-manifested).

I agree with the others, vibration is more important. The only reason that you desire a partner is because you believe that once that happens, it will make you happy. You desire all of the things that you desire because you believe that once you have them, they will make you feel good. So, the only way to manifest anything that is on track with your desires is too first feel good. Try not to worry about what you don't have and start to only focus on raising your vibration. Because once you start to feel good, you are on track with your desires and the things that you want will begin to manifest in your life.

In the following video Michael Losier explains that visualization is not always for everybody, there are other ways of creating the vibrations that you want here's a video that you may find interesting
