A Short Course in Manifestation
by James F. Twyman
In 2006, millions of people around the world became
excited about a documentary called The Secret, which described on a
basic level a phenomenon called the Law of Attraction. I was very excited when
I saw the film, and I even added some of the techniques to my own practice.
However, I was also a bit worried by two aspects of The Secret. First of
all, it seemed to be almost completely focused on using the Law of Attraction
to get the things that would hopefully add happiness or contentment to
your life. There were some very important elements, or deeper secrets, that
seemed to have been left out.
The other thing that worried me about the film was
that I felt it oversimplified the process of manifestation, leaving out
critical ingredients that could determine a person's success or failure.
One day I was discussing all of this with my friend
Debbie Ford, the author of many best-selling books, including The Dark Side
of the Light Chasers. She, like many other spiritual teachers I know, had
very strong feelings on the subject and wanted to find a way to offer a more
complete version of the Law of Attraction. We decided to ask a few of our
friends to join us in a series of conference calls that would explore using the
art of manifestation to give rather than simply get. I'm a strong
proponent of viewing acts of service as a powerful path to enlightenment, and I
know for certain that trying to satisfy the endless needs of the ego leads to
complete disillusionment.
The conference calls were referred to as Using the
Secret to Create Peace. Along with Neale Donald Walsch, Michael Beckwith,
Jean Houston, and James Ray, Debbie and I launched the course. 13,000 people
signed up.
Even though I'm being honest with my feelings
regarding the focus of The Secret, I also want to say that I believe it
was a critically important step for many of the individuals who watched it.
Realizing that we create everything we experience - no matter how positive or
negative it may seem - is the first step in spiritual mastery. But it's only
the beginning.
Most of the people who try to implement the Law of
Attraction and fail are unaware of the issues that are blocking their ability
to manifest their desires. This is usually because they haven't done the work
required to clearly attract what they think they want. The reason I say "think
they want" is because contrary to their belief, the technique is actually
working perfectly.
Human beings are complex; and unfortunately,
one-dimensional solutions rarely solve intricate problems. Most of the
manifestation techniques and tools that are popular today are valuable and can
produce wonderful benefits, but only if a proper foundation is laid that allows
them to have the greatest effect. Making a list of affirmations and reciting
them over and over is a powerful tool, but saying I am an abundant being
to yourself does very little if deep down-beneath your conscious mind-you
believe the opposite.
Your wish is the Universe's command, whether it's
conscious or unconscious. It will give you everything you ask for, so it's
vital that you know exactly what it is you're asking for. Otherwise,
you'll practice these techniques and pull into your life all the things you
believe you don't want, and you'll say that it doesn't work. It does work -
every time!
Now it's time for you to do the work so that your
soul's desire - not your ego's - will be realized.
