… from smurfland where we belong. La la la la la la la la la la…. Oh dear… reverting to that song from the 70s! For those of you old enough to remember that song that was played and overplayed, and then played some more – enjoy a blast from the past! Which, of course, has not much to do with today’s thoughts, except that the first line of that song is the title for today.

So… where are you coming from? Perhaps it would help if I narrowed that down slightly. When it comes to abundance and manifesting the things you want in life, where are you coming from? What I mean by that is, what’s your start point? Not just your beliefs about “whether you deserve to receive it”, or “whether it’s possible”, or “whether you’re good enough”, but what’s your beginning stance?

I know I’m being a bit cryptic here – I just want to get you thinking about your thought processes and emanation point when you think about creating the life you want.

In the film “Conversations with God”, God says to Neale (Neale Donald Walsch that is) – “you can never have what you want”. Now that phrase threw me for a bit. It may well throw you off a bit too… but take time to think about it. Where do you think God is coming from in that phrase? “You can never have what you want”?

Let me go back over some things that I know I’ve talked about in the past.

Firstly, there is Nothing that you are not. Consciousness IS everything. That includes you, me, the dog down the road, the lamppost outside your house, the air you breathe, and so on. Consciousness IS everything. There is nothing that Consciousness is not. Therefore, you must be Consciousness too. That includes things from your past, present and future. Although of course, there’s no such thing as the future, there is only the present moment. That’s all that exists. Everything else is an illusion. Still with me? Excellent!

Secondly, this is a Universe of Infinite Possibilities. Therefore absolutely anything IS possible. If it can be imagined, it can be created. Energy follows thought and, once you have the thought, and continued thought about the same thing, the energy following it creates it.

Thirdly, the minute you realise you want something and you have a yearning for it, Consciousness already becomes it. In a vibration point, somewhere, is the very thing that you realise you want. It is already given.

So there’s your answer… you cannot have what you want. Clear as mud eh?

If you want something, your start point is a place of lack. If you want something, it means you haven’t already got it – which, given the above, cannot be so because when you think about something and add energy to it, it is created. It’s already there. But because you keep focusing upon the fact that you want it, you’re keeping it from you. Why? Because you’re focusing upon the lack of it – NOT that actual having it. Do you get that? When you want something, IT IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS GIVEN TO YOU. All you have to do is put yourself in vibrational alignment with it for it to appear in your physical experience.

So when you realise there’s something you want, you know that in the instant you realise it, it is given. Instantly. So rather than saying “please can I have…” instead say “thank you so much for…”.

Are you still with me? Knowing that whenever you want something it’s always given, you can be grateful and thankful for the fact that it’s already there for you!

Imagine calling a catalogue company and putting in an order for a nice shiny pair of shoes. You ask for them, they don’t say “oooh I don’t know if you deserve them” or “no no, you were a naughty boy (or girl!) 20 years go” or “no it’s impossible for you to have these shoes that we make”. They say “yes indeedy! They’ll be with you shortly”. And you put the telephone down and you expect to receive them. And 9 times out of 10 they arrive. You don’t call the company every day and keep asking for the shoes. You absolutely know that they’re on their way.

The most powerful way of attracting what you want into your physical experience is to be thankful for it before it arrives. Appreciation and Gratitude are powerful energies that raise your vibration and dissolve resistance to receiving what you wanted. When you ask, it is given. When you keep focusing on what you want and it still hasn’t arrived… chances are it probably never will!

Sooo… you cannot have what you want.

Now….. back to that smurf song… la la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la, la la la, do do do do do do do do
