Foreword

by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, (Location 240)

This is a universe of vibration. As Einstein once observed, “Nothing happens until something moves”—that is, everything vibrates to a particular measurable frequency. Break the solid world down to smaller and tinier components and you see that what appears to be solid is a dance—a dance of particles and empty spaces. Go to the tiniest of these quantum particles, and you discover that it emanated from a source that vibrates so fast that it defies the world of beginnings and endings. This highest/fastest energy is called Source Energy. You and everyone and everything originated in this vibration and then moved into the world of things, bodies, minds, and egos. It was in the leaving of this Source Energy in our body/minds that we took on our entire world of problems, illnesses, scarcities, and fears. (Location 250)

PART I

Things That We Know, That You May Have Forgotten, Which Are important for you to Remember (Location 505)

Chapter 1 The Power of Feeling Good Now

It is our powerful desire that you be pleased with where you are right now, in this moment—no matter where you are. We understand how strange these words must sound to you if you are standing in a place that seems far from where you want to be. But it is our absolute promise to you that when you understand the power of feeling good now, no matter what, you will hold the key to the achievement of any state of being, any state of health, any state of wealth, or any state of anything that you desire. (Location 529)

You Only Hear What You Are Ready to Hear

Chapter 2 We Are Keeping Our Promise to You— We Are Reminding You of Who You Are

Do you know that you are the creator of your own experience? (Location 552)

there is nothing that you cannot be, do, or have. (Location 566)

You Said, “I Will Live in Joy!”

You said, “I will go forth into the physical time-space-reality among other Beings, and I will assume an identity with a clear and specific perspective. I will learn to see myself from that point of view, and I will enjoy being seen as that point of view.” (Location 569)

You said, “I will observe what surrounds me, and my response to what I observe will cause my own valuable personal preferences to be born.” (Location 571)

You said, “I will know the value of my preferences. I will know the value of my perspective.” (Location 572)

And then you said (and this is the most important part of all), “I will always feel the power and value of my own personal perspective, for the ‘Non-Physical Energy’ that creates worlds will flow through my decisions, my intentions and my every thought, for the creation of that which I set into motion from my perspective.” (Location 573)

You knew then, before your physical birth, that you were “Source Energy” specifically focused in this physical body, and you knew that the physical person you would become could never be separated from that which you came from. You understood then, your eternal connection to that Source Energy. (Location 576)

You said, “I will love pouring myself into this physical body, into physical time-space-reality, for that environment will cause me to focus the powerful Energy that is me into something more specific. And in the specifics of that focus, there will be powerful motion forward—and joy.” (Location 578)

We Know Who You Are

There Is Nothing That You Cannot Be, Do, or Have

Chapter 3 You Do Create Your Own Reality

The Basis of Your Life Is Absolute Freedom

You were born with an innate knowledge that you do create your own reality. And, in fact, that knowledge is so basic within you that when someone attempts to thwart your own creation, you feel an immediate discord within yourself. (Location 606)

You were born knowing that you are the creator of your own reality, and although that desire to do so pulsed within you in a powerful way, when you began to integrate into your society, you began to accept much of the same picture that others held of the way your life should unfold. But still, within you today lives the knowledge that you are the creator of your own life experience, that absolute freedom exists as the basis of your true experience, and that ultimately the creation of your life experience is absolutely and only up to you. (Location 608)

You have never enjoyed someone else telling you what to do. You have never enjoyed being dissuaded from your own powerful impulses. But over time, with enough pressure from those who surrounded you who seemed convinced that their practiced way was more valid than your way (and, therefore, ultimately better), you gradually began to release your determination to guide your own life. You often found it easier just to adapt to their ideas of what was best for you rather than trying to figure it out for yourself. But in all this adapting to your society’s attempts to make you fit in, and in your own attempt to find less trouble, you have unwittingly relinquished your most basic foundation: your total and absolute freedom to create. (Location 612)

No One Else Can Create in Your Experience

There is no satisfaction in allowing someone else to attempt to create your reality. In fact, it is not possible for anyone else to create your reality. (Location 624)

Once you have realigned with eternal forces and Universal Laws, and with that which is truly the Source of that which you are, then joyous creation, beyond physical description, awaits you, for you are the creator of your own experience, and there is such satisfaction in intentionally guiding your own life. (Location 625)

You Are Eternal Beings in Physical Form

You are eternal Beings who have chosen to participate in this specific physical life experience for many wonderful reasons. And this time-space-reality on Planet Earth serves as a platform in which you are able to focus your perspective for the purpose of specific creation. (Location 629)

You are eternal Consciousness, currently in this wonderful physical body for the thrill and exhilaration of specific focus and creation. (Location 631)

By consciously choosing the direction of your thoughts, you can be in constant connection with Source Energy, with God, with joy, and with all that you consider to be good. (Location 637)

Absolute Well-Being Is the Basis of Your Universe

Your motion forward is inevitable; it must be. You cannot help but move forward. But you are not here on a quest to move forward—you are here to experience outrageous joy. That is why you are here. (Location 653)

Chapter 4 How Can I Get There from Here?

The reason you have not already gotten what you desire is because you are holding yourself in a vibrational holding pattern that does not match the vibration of your desire. (Location 662)

So now, the only thing you need to do is gently and gradually, piece by piece, release your resistant thoughts, which are the only disallowing factors involved. Your increasing relief will be the indicator that you are releasing resistance, just as your feelings of increased tension, anger, frustration, and so on, have been your indicators that you have been adding to your resistance. (Location 665)

Well-Being Is Lined Up Outside Your Door

You Are a Physical Extension of Source Energy

Your time-space-reality was set into motion through the power of thought long before it manifested in the physical form in which you see it now. Everything in your physical environment was created from Non-Physical perspective by that which you call Source. And just as Source created your world, and you, through the power of focused thought, you are continuing to create your world from your Leading-Edge place in this time-space-reality. (Location 674)

You cannot offer a thought that would cause total separation (separation is actually far too strong of a word), but you can offer thoughts that are different enough in vibrational nature to hinder your natural connection with Source. We refer to that condition as resistance. (Location 682)

The Evolutionary Value of Your Personal Preferences

Do not underestimate the value of your preferences, for the evolution of your planet depends upon those of you on the Leading Edge of thought continuing to fine-tune your desires. (Location 693)

As you are standing in the midst of contrast, new desires are radiating constantly from you in the form of vibrational signals that are received and answered by Source—and in that moment, the Universe is expanding. (Location 695)

The Science of Deliberate Creation

You do create your own reality. No one else does. And, you create your own reality even if you do not understand that you do so. For that reason, you often create by default. (Location 702)

When you are consciously aware of your own thoughts, and you are deliberately offering them, then you are the deliberate creator of your own reality—and that is what you intended when you made the decision to come forth into this body. (Location 703)

You do not have to use your words. You just have to feel it in your being: I desire this. I adore this. I appreciate this, and so on. That desire is the beginning of all attraction. (Location 707)

Once you relax into the idea that you will never cease to be, that new desires will be constantly born within you, that Source will never stop answering your desires, and that your expansion is, therefore, eternal, then you may begin to relax if, in this moment, there is something that you desire that has not yet come to fruition. (Location 713)

It is our desire that you become one who is happy with that which you are and with that which you have—while at the same time being eager for more. That is the optimal creative vantage point: To stand on the brink of what is coming, feeling eager, optimistic anticipation—with no feeling of impatience, doubt, or unworthiness hindering the receiving of it—that is the Science of Deliberate Creation at its best. (Location 716)

Chapter 5 This Simple Basis of Understanding Makes It All Fit Together

There is a current that runs through everything. It exists throughout the Universe, and it exists throughout All-That-Is. It is the basis of the Universe, and it is the basis of your physical world. Some are aware of this Energy, but most humans are unaware of it. However, everyone is affected by it. (Location 723)

A Consistent Formula Gives You Consistent Results

You Are a Vibrational Being in a Vibrational Environment

You can feel whether you are allowing your full connection to Source Energy or not. In other words, the better you feel, the more you are allowing your connection; the worse you feel, the less you are allowing your connection. (Location 742)

You are, even in your physical expression of flesh, blood, and bone, a “Vibrational Being,” and everything you experience in your physical environment is vibrational. And, it is only through your ability to translate vibration that you are able to understand your physical world at all. In other words, through your eyes, you translate vibration into that which you see. Using your ears, you translate vibration into the sounds that you hear. Even your nose, tongue, and fingertips are translating vibrations into the smells, tastes, and touches that help you understand your world. But your most sophisticated of vibrational interpreters by far are your emotions. (Location 745)

Your Emotions As Vibrational Interpreters

By paying attention to the signals of your emotions, you can understand, with absolute precision, everything you are now living or have ever lived. And, with a precision and ease that you may have never before experienced, you can use this new understanding of your emotions to orchestrate a future experience that will please you in every way. (Location 751)

By paying attention to the way you feel, you can fulfill your reason for being here, and you can continue your intended expansion in the joyful way that you intended. By understanding your emotional connection to who you really are, you will come to understand not only what is happening in your own world and why, but you will also understand every other living Being with whom you interact. (Location 753)

Chapter 6 The Law of Attraction, the Most Powerful Law in the Universe

Every thought vibrates, every thought radiates a signal, and every thought attracts a matching signal back. We call that process the Law of Attraction. (Location 762)

You understand this principle when you turn on your radio and deliberately tune your receiver to match a signal from a broadcasting tower. You do not expect to hear music that is being broadcast on the radio frequency of 101FM to be received on your tuner when it is set at 98.6FM. You understand that radio vibrational frequencies must match, and the Law of Attraction agrees with you. (Location 765)

To What Are You Giving Your Attention?

if there is something that you desire that you currently do not have, and you put your attention upon your current state of not having it, then Law of Attraction will continue to match that not having it vibration, so you will continue to not have that which you desire. It is Law. (Location 775)

How Can I Know What I Am Attracting?

The key to bringing something into your experience that you desire is to achieve vibrational harmony with what you desire. And the easiest way for you to achieve vibrational harmony with it is to imagine having it, pretend that it is already in your experience, flow your thoughts toward the enjoyment of the experience, and as you practice those thoughts and begin to… (Location 778)

When your thoughts are a vibrational match to your desire, you feel good—your emotional range would be from contentment to expectation to eagerness to joy. But if you are giving your attention to the lack, or absence, of your desire—your emotions would range from feelings of… (Location 783)

And so, as you become consciously aware of your emotions, you will always know how you are doing with the allowing part of your Creative Process, and you will never again misunderstand why things are turning out the way they are. Your emotions provide a wonderful guidance system for you, and if you will pay… (Location 786)

You Get What You Think About, Whether You…

By the powerful Universal Law of Attraction, you draw to you the essence of whatever you are predominantly thinking about. So if you are predominantly thinking about the things that you desire, your life experience reflects those things. And, in the same way, if you are predominantly… (Location 790)

Whatever you are thinking about is like planning a future event. When you are appreciating, you are planning. When you are worrying, you are planning. (Worrying is using your… (Location 793)

Every thought, every idea, every Being, every thing, is vibrational, so when you focus your attention on something, even for a short period of time, the vibration of your Being begins to reflect the vibration of that which you are giving your attention to. The more you think about it, the more you vibrate like it; the more you vibrate like it, the more of that which is like it is attracted to you. That trend in attraction will continue to increase until a different vibration is… (Location 795)

Nothing can occur in your life experience without your invitation of it… (Location 801)

Because there are no exceptions to the powerful Law of Attraction, a thorough understanding of it is easy to achieve. And once you understand that you get what you think about, and, equally important, when you are aware of what you are thinking, then you are in… (Location 802)

How Big Are Your Vibrational…

There is a very big vibrational difference in your thoughts of appreciation of your mate, and in your thoughts of what you would like to be different about your mate. And your relationship with your mate, without exception, reflects the preponderance of your thoughts. For, while you may not have… (Location 805)

Your desire for an improved financial condition cannot come to you if you often feel jealous of your neighbor’s good fortune, for the vibration of your desire and the vibration of… (Location 808)

An understanding of your vibrational nature will make it possible for you to easily, deliberately… (Location 810)

You Are a Summoner of…

Even though it may seem odd to you at first, it will be helpful for you to begin to accept yourself as a Vibrational Being, for this is a Vibrational Universe in which you are living, and the Laws that govern this Universe are Vibrationally based. (Location 819)

Once you become consciously at one with the Universal Laws, and gain an understanding of why things respond in the way they do, all mystery and confusion will be replaced by clarity and understanding. Doubt and fear will be replaced with knowledge and confidence, uncertainty will be replaced with certainty—and joy will return as the basic premise of your experience. (Location 821)

When Your Desires and Beliefs Are a Vibrational Match

You cannot desire something, predominantly focus on the absence of it, and then expect to receive it, because the vibrational frequency of its absence and the vibrational frequency of its presence are very different frequencies. (Location 827)

Your desires and your beliefs must be a vibrational match in order for you to receive that which you desire. (Location 828)

All-That-Is . . . Is Benefiting from Your Existence

Rediscover the Art of Allowing Your Natural Well-Being

The Art of Allowing is the art of no longer resisting the Well-Being that you deserve; the Well-Being that is natural; the Well-Being that is your legacy, your Source, and your very Being. (Location 849)

Chapter 7 You Are Standing on the Leading Edge of Thought

If You Can Desire It, the Universe Can Produce It

It Works, Whether You Understand It or Not

There is only a Stream of Well-Being that flows. You can allow it or resist it, but it flows just the same. (Location 877)

You would not walk into a brightly lit room and look for the “dark switch.” In other words, you would not expect to find a switch that would flood an inky darkness into the room to cover the brightness of the light—you would find a switch that would resist the light, for in the absence of the light there is darkness. And, in like manner, there is not a Source of “evil,” but there could be a resisting of that which you believe is Good, just as there is not a Source of sickness, but there could be a resisting of the natural Well-Being. (Location 878)

Without Asking, You Will Receive No Answer

Open the Floodgates and Let Your Well-Being Flow In

You Are in the Perfect Position to Get There from Here

Chapter 8 You Are a Vibrational Transmitter and Receiver

Even more than the material being that you have come to know as you—you are a Vibrational Being. (Location 931)

You are a vibrational transmitter, and you are broadcasting your signal in every moment of your existence. (Location 933)

As you are focused in this physical body, and while you are awake, you are constantly projecting a very specific, easily identifiable signal that is instantly received, understood, and answered. Immediately, your present and future circumstances begin to change in response to the signal you are offering now. And so, the entire Universe, right now, is affected by what you are offering. (Location 934)

You Are an Eternal Personality, Focusing in the Now

Your world, present and future, is directly and specifically affected by the signal that you are now transmitting. The personality that is You is really an eternal personality, but who you are right now, and what you are thinking right now, is causing a focusing of Energy that is very powerful. This Energy that you are focusing is the same Energy that creates worlds. And it is, in this very moment, creating your world. (Location 939)

Your feelings are the representatives of your guidance system. In other words, the way you feel is your true indicator of your alignment with your Source, and of your alignment with your own intentions—both pre-birth and currently. (Location 945)

Your Powerful Beliefs Were Once Gentle Thoughts

Every thought that has ever been thought still exists, and whenever you focus upon a thought, you activate the vibration of that thought within you. (Location 948)

But when you turn your attention away from a thought, it becomes dormant, or no longer active. The only way to consciously deactivate a thought is to activate another. In other words, the only way to deliberately withdraw your attention from one thought is to give your attention to another. (Location 949)

When you give your attention to anything, the vibration, at first, is not very strong, but if you continue to think about it or speak about it, the vibration gets stronger. So, with enough attention to any subject, it can become a dominant thought. As you give more and more attention to any thought, and as you focus upon it and therefore practice the vibration of it—the thought becomes an even bigger part of your vibration—and you could now call this practiced thought a belief. (Location 952)

The Longer You Think Thoughts, the Stronger They Become

Because the Law of Attraction is behind the expansion of your thoughts, it is not possible to give your attention to something without achieving an alignment with it to some degree. And so, the longer you ponder the thought, and the more frequently you return to the thought, the stronger your vibrational alignment becomes. (Location 957)

Your Attention to It Invites It In

Every thought that you give your attention to expands and becomes a bigger part of your vibrational mix. Whether it is a thought of something you want or a thought of something you do not want—your attention to it invites it into your experience. (Location 965)

Since this is an attraction-based Universe, there is no such thing as exclusion. Everything is about inclusion. So, when you see something that you would like to experience and you focus upon it, shouting yes to it, you include it in your experience. But when you see something that you would not want to experience, and you focus upon it, shouting no at it, you also include that in your experience. You do not invite it in with your yes and exclude it with your no, because there is no exclusion in this attraction-based Universe. Your focus is the invitation. Your attention to it is the invitation. (Location 967)

And so, those who are mostly observers thrive in good times but suffer in bad times because what they are observing is already vibrating, and as they observe it, they include it in their vibrational countenance; and as they include it, the Universe accepts that as their point of attraction—and gives them more of the essence of it. So, for an observer, the better it gets, the better it gets; or the worse it gets, the worse it gets. However, one who is a visionary thrives in all times. (Location 972)

With your practiced attention to any subject, the Law of Attraction delivers circumstances, conditions, experiences, other people, and all manner of things that match your habitual dominant vibration. And as things begin to manifest around you that match the thoughts you have been holding, you now develop stronger and stronger vibrational habits or proclivities. And so, your once small and insignificant thought has now evolved into a powerful belief—and your powerful beliefs will always be played out in your experience. (Location 975)

Chapter 9 The Hidden Value Behind Your Emotional Reactions

You were born with sensitive, evolved, sophisticated translators of vibrations that help you understand and define your experience. And in the same way that you utilize your five physical senses to interpret your physical life experience, you were born with other sensors—your emotions—which are further vibrational interpreters that help you understand, in the moment, the experiences that you are living. (Location 987)

Emotions Are Indicators of Your Point of Attraction

When you made the decision to come forth into this physical body, you fully understood your eternal connection to Source Energy, and you knew that your emotions would be constant indicators that would let you know, in every moment, your current relationship with Source Energy. And so, understanding the powerful guidance that you have eternal access to, you felt no sense of risk, no sense of confusion—only a sense of adventure and true exhilaration. (Location 997)

Emotions Are Indicators of Your Alignment with Source Energy

Use Your Emotions to Feel Your Way Back to Well-Being

When you think a thought that rings true with who you really are, you feel harmony coursing through your physical body: Joy, love, and a sense of freedom are examples of that alignment. And when you think thoughts that do not ring true with who you really are, you feel the disharmony in your physical body. Depression, fear, and feelings of bondage are examples of that misalignment. (Location 1011)

In the same way that sculptors mold clay into the creation that pleases them, you create by molding Energy. You mold it through your power of focus—by thinking about things, remembering things, and imagining things. You focus the Energy when you speak, when you write, when you listen, when you are silent, when you remember, and when you imagine—you focus it through the projection of thought. (Location 1014)

Like the sculptors who, with time and practice, learn to mold the clay into the precise desired creation, you can learn to mold the Energy that creates worlds through the focus of your own mind. And, like the sculptors who, with their hands, feel their way as they recreate their vision—you will use your emotions to feel your way to Well-Being. (Location 1017)

Chapter 10 The Three Steps to Whatever You Want to Be, Do, or Have

Step 1: You Ask

Desires (or asking) are the natural by-product of your exposure to this environment of fantastic variety and contrast. And so, Step 1 comes naturally. (Location 1031)

Step 2: The Universe Answers

Step 2 is a simple step for you, for it is not your work at all. Step 2 is the work of the Non-Physical, the work of the GOD Force. (Location 1033)

Every question is answered. Every desire is given. Every prayer is answered. Every wish is granted. But the reason that many would argue with that truth, holding up examples of unfulfilled desires from their own life experiences, is because they have not yet understood and completed the very important Step 3—for without the completion of this step, the existence of Steps 1 and 2 could go unnoticed. (Location 1038)

Step 3: You Allow It In

Step 3 is the application of the Art of Allowing. It is really the reason your guidance system exists. It is the step whereby you tune the vibrational frequency of your Being to match the vibrational frequency of your desire. (Location 1042)

In the same way that your radio tuner must be set to match the frequency of the broadcasting station you desire to hear, the vibrational frequency of your Being must match the frequency of your desire. And we call that the Art of Allowing (Location 1044)

Every Subject Is Two Subjects: Wanted and Not Wanted

Every subject is really two subjects: There is that which you desire, and the lack of it. Often—even when you believe you are thinking about something that you desire—you are actually thinking about the exact opposite of what you desire. In other words, “I want to be well; I don’t want to be sick.” “I want to have financial security; I don’t want to experience a shortage of money.” “I want the perfect relationship to come to me; I don’t want to be alone.” (Location 1050)

Your Attention Must Be on It, Not on the Lack of It

The reason that you are not always aware that your desires have been answered is because there is often a time gap between your asking (Step 1) and your allowing (Step 3). (Location 1063)

Even though a clear desire has emanated from you as a result of the contrast you have considered, you often, rather than giving your attention purely to the desire itself, focus back on the contrasting situation that gave birth to the desire. And in doing so, your vibration is more about the reason you have launched the desire than it is about the desire itself. (Location 1064)

As long as you are more aware of what you do not want regarding this situation, what you do want cannot come to you. (Location 1078)

Now You Hold the Key to Creating Your Every Desire

Once you understand that your thoughts equal your point of attraction and that the way you feel indicates your level of allowing or resisting, you now hold the key to creating anything that you desire. (Location 1085)

It is not possible for you to consistently feel positive emotion about something and have it turn out badly, just as it is not possible for you to consistently feel bad about something and have it turn out well—for the way you feel will tell you if you are allowing your natural Well-Being or not. (Location 1086)

Remember, as extensions of pure, positive Non-Physical Energy, the more in vibrational harmony you are with You, the better you feel. For example, when you are appreciating something, you are a vibrational match to who you really are. When you love someone, or yourself, you are a vibrational match to who you really are. But if you are finding fault with yourself or another, you are, in that moment, offering a vibration that does not match who you really are, and the negative emotion you feel is your indicator that you have introduced a vibration of resistance and that you are no longer in the state of allowing your pure Connection between the physical you and the Non-Physical part of You. (Location 1094)

Chapter 11 With Practice, You Will Become a Joyous, Deliberate Creator

As you focus Creative Energy, there are two factors to consider: first, the intensity and speed of the Energy; and second, your level of allowing or resisting it. (Location 1109)

When you are thinking about something that you have been wanting for a very long time, and, in this moment, you are noticing that it has not yet happened, a strong negative emotion would be present within you, for you are thinking about something that has very strong energy that you are not in vibrational alignment with. However, if you are thinking about something that you have been wanting for a long time and you are imagining that it is happening, then your emotion would be one of anticipation or eagerness. And so, you can tell by the way you feel whether, in this moment, you are a match to your desire or a match to its absence; whether you are allowing or resisting your desire, or whether you are, in this moment, helping or hindering. (Location 1115)

It Is Not about Controlling Thoughts, It Is about Guiding Thoughts

We are not encouraging you to make an effort to control your thoughts, but instead, to make an effort to, more or less, guide your thoughts. And it is not even so much about guiding your thoughts as it is about reaching for a feeling, because reaching for the way you would like to feel is an easier way to hold your thoughts in vibrational alignment with that which you believe is good. (Location 1126)

Remember, whenever you give your attention to a thought, that thought immediately becomes activated within you, so the Law of Attraction immediately responds, which means that other thoughts, in vibrational harmony with the thought that you have just activated, now join your activated thought, making it a more pronounced, more powerful, and more attractive thought. And as you continue your focus, and as your thought expands, that more powerful thought that you have just activated is joined by others like it . . . and on it goes. (Location 1131)

When Your Practiced Thought Becomes a Dominant Thought

Once your focused attention has sufficiently activated a dominant vibration within you, things—wanted or unwanted—will begin to make their way into your personal experience. It is Law. (Location 1140)

How to Effectively Become a Deliberate Creator

Whatever you are giving your attention to is already pulsing an Energy vibration. And as you hold your attention upon it, you begin to vibrate as it is vibrating. Each time you focus upon it, and each time you offer the vibration, it feels easier for you to do it the next time, until, in time, you develop a sort of vibrational proclivity. It is like practicing anything; it can get easier and easier. And with enough focusing on this thought, and therefore practicing this vibration, you form what you call a belief. A belief is only a practiced vibration. In other words, once you have practiced a thought long enough, then anytime you approach the subject of that thought, the Law of Attraction will take you easily into the full vibration of your belief. So now, the Law of Attraction accepts that belief as your point of attraction, and brings to you things that match that vibration. (Location 1148)

Anything that you give your attention to will become your “truth.” The Law of Attraction says that it must. Your life, and everyone else’s, too, is but a reflection of the predominance of your thoughts. There is no exception to this. (Location 1157)

Have You Made a Decision to Direct Your Thoughts?

To be the deliberate creator of your own experience, you will be the one who has decided to direct your thoughts, for only when you deliberately choose the direction of your thoughts can you deliberately affect your own point of attraction. (Location 1160)

Your Emotional Guidance System is the key to helping you understand what your vibrational content is and therefore exactly what your current point of attraction is. Distinguishing between the actual thought of what you want, compared to the thought of its absence, is sometimes difficult. But distinguishing between your emotional response to your thought of your desire, and your emotional response to your thought of the absence of your desire, is a very easy thing to do. (Location 1167)

Your emotions always let you know what you are doing with your vibration; your emotions always let you know exactly what your point of attraction is; and so, by paying attention to your emotions and by deliberately offering thoughts that affect the way you feel, you can consciously guide yourself into the vibrational frequency that will allow the fulfillment of any desire you hold. (Location 1172)

Can You Accept Yourself As a Vibrational Being?

Chapter 12 Your Emotional Set-Points Are Within Your Control

Most people do not believe they have control over what they believe. They observe things happening around them and evaluate them, but they usually feel that they have no control whatsoever about the belief that is formulating within them. They spend their lives sorting events into categories of good or bad, wanted or unwanted, right or wrong—but rarely do they understand that they have the ability to control their personal relationship with these events. (Location 1186)

It Is Impossible to Control Conditions That Others Have Created

But, in this attraction-based Universe where there is no such thing as exclusion, the harder they push against unwanted things, the more they achieve vibrational alignment with unwanted things—and in doing so, the more they invite unwanted things into their own experience. And as more unwanted things now manifest in their experience, they shore up their own belief (they “prove it” to themselves) that they were right all along about how bad and invasive that unwanted thing was to begin with. In other words, the more you defend your own beliefs, the more the Law of Attraction helps you live them out. (Location 1194)

“But Whose ‘Truth’ Is the True TRUTH?”

There are many wonderful things that you are making your Truths, and there are many not-so-wonderful things that you are making your Truths—Deliberate Creation is about deliberately choosing those experiences you make your Truths. (Location 1208)

Your Point of Attraction Is Being Affected

Moods As Indicators of Your Emotional Set-Points

When you continue to focus upon any thought, it becomes increasingly easy to continue to focus upon it because the Law of Attraction is making more thoughts like it available to you. And so, emotionally speaking, you are developing a mood or an attitude. Vibrationally speaking, you are achieving a habitual vibrational groove, so to speak—or a set-point. (Location 1225)

Your mood is showing you a good representation of what you are inviting into your experience. Your mood, or your general feeling about something, is a clear indication of your practiced vibration. In other words, whenever any subject is activated within you through your exposure to your environment, your vibration jumps immediately to your most practiced vibrational place, or set-point. (Location 1228)

Your Emotional Set-Points Can Be Changed

your set-points are achieved simply by attention to a subject, and through your practiced thought. (Location 1249)

Chapter 13 Allow Your Feelings to Be Your Guide

Every living thing, animal, human, or plant, experiences that which is called death, with no exception. Spirit, which is who we really are, is eternal. So what death must be is but a changing of the perspective of that eternal Spirit. If you are standing in your physical body and consciously connected to that Spirit, then you are eternal in nature and you need never fear any “endedness,” because, from that perspective, there is none. (You will never cease to be, for you are eternal Consciousness.) (Location 1262)

Learn to Pay Attention to Your Feelings

When emotions are strong—whether they feel good or feel bad—your desire is strong. When emotions are weak, your desire is not so strong. When emotions feel good—whether they are strong or weak— you are allowing the fulfillment of your desire. When emotions feel bad—whether they are strong or weak— you are in the state of disallowing the fulfillment of your desire. (Location 1275)

You may believe that you cannot control your emotions, or you may believe that you should control your emotions, but we would like you to approach your emotions in a different way: It is our encouragement that you pay attention to how you feel and allow your emotions to be the valuable indicators they are. (Location 1281)

An Empty Feeling Is Telling You Something Important

Your emotions do not create, but they do indicate what you are currently attracting. (Location 1289)

“Follow Your Bliss” Is a Positive Thought, Is It Not?

No better guidance has ever been offered to our physical friends than the words “Follow your bliss,” for in the steady reaching for bliss, you must surely align with the Energy of your Source. And in that constant alignment, your Well-Being is certain. But when you find yourself engulfed in circumstances that cause you to offer a vibration that is far from that of bliss, then reaching for bliss is an impossible thing, for the Law of Attraction does not allow you to make that vibrational jump any more than you could have tuned your radio receiver to 101FM and heard a song that was being played on 630AM. (Location 1293)

You Have the Ability to Direct Your Own Thoughts

You have the ability to place your attention wherever you decide, so it is possible to distract yourself from something unwanted and put your attention upon something wanted. But when a vibration within you is one you have practiced a great deal, the tendency is to continue to offer the vibration in the way you have been practicing it—no matter how much you wish it to be different. (Location 1304)

If We Were Standing in Your Physical Shoes

When you have lived an experience that helps you understand, in an exaggerated way, the very thing you do not want, you also understand, in an exaggerated way, what you do want. But when you are painfully aware of what you do not want, you are not in alignment with what you do want. When you desire something that you do not believe is possible, you are not in alignment. (Location 1315)

When there is something that you want and you are feeling unhappy that you do not have it, you are not in alignment; when you see someone who currently has the very thing that you desire and you feel jealous, you are not in alignment. (Location 1318)

Your Natural Desires Cannot Be Held Back

This is the simple basis of this eternally expanding Universe: • Variety causes contemplation. • Contemplation produces preference. • Preference is asking. • Asking is always answered. (Location 1325)

Regarding your creation of your own life experience, there really is only one important question for you to ask: How can I bring myself into vibrational alignment with the desires that my experience has produced? And the answer is simple: Pay attention to the way you feel, and deliberately choose thoughts—about everything—that feel good to you when you think them. (Location 1328)

Chapter 14 Some Things You Knew Before You Arrived

It is helpful to remember that you are creators who have come into this Leading-Edge time-space-reality to experience the joy of directing Source Energy into the specifics of your physical life experience. (Location 1335)

We refer to that time between your offering of a thought and its physical manifestation as “the buffer of time.” This is that wonderful time of offering thought, noticing how it feels, adjusting the thought to achieve an even better feeling, and then, in an attitude of absolute expectation, enjoying the gentle, steady unfolding of anything and everything that you have concluded as your desires. (Location 1362)

“If I Know So Much, How Come I’m Not Successful?”

There is never a reason for you to be without something that you desire. Nor is there ever a reason for you to experience something that you do not desire—for you hold absolute control of your experiences. (Location 1367)

The only reason that you could ever experience something other than what you desire is because you are giving the majority of your attention to something other than what you desire. (Location 1372)

“Can I Really Count on the Law of Attraction?”

The Law of Attraction always yields to you the essence of the balance of your thoughts. No exceptions. You get what you think about— whether you want it or not. And in time, with practice, you will come to remember that the Law of Attraction is always consistent. It never tricks you. It never deceives you. It never confuses you, for the Law of Attraction responds precisely to the vibration that you are offering. But the confusion, for many, comes because they are offering vibrations that they do not realize they are offering. (Location 1375)

“But I Can’t Get to San Diego from Phoenix!”

We want you to understand that the trip between wherever you are, on any subject, and where you desire to be, is as easily attainable as the trip from Phoenix to San Diego—once you understand how to discern where you are along the way. (Location 1399)

Once you understand the clarity that your emotions provide, you will never again not know what you are doing with your current thought. You will always be aware of whether you are, in this moment, moving toward or away from your intended goal or desire. Your awareness of the way you feel will give you the clarity you have been seeking—and you will never be lost in the desert again. Once you have the knowledge that you are moving in the direction of your desires, you may begin to relax a little bit and enjoy the fantastic journey. (Location 1407)

Chapter 15 You Are a Perfect Yet Expanding Being, in a Perfect Yet Expanding World, in a Perfect Yet Expanding Universe

You are a physical extension of Source Energy. • The physical world you live in provides a perfect environment in which to create. • The variety that exists helps you focus your own personal desires or preferences. • When a desire is focused within you, the summoning of Creative Life Force immediately begins to flow toward your desire—and the Universe expands. And that is good. • Your conscious realization of the Creative Process is not necessary in order for it to continue. (Location 1416)

The Leading-Edge environment that you are physically focused in will continue to stimulate new desires in all who participate. • Every desire or preference, no matter how large or small it may seem to you, is understood and answered by All-That-Is. • As every desire from every perceiver is answered, the Universe expands. • As the Universe expands, the variety expands. • As the variety expands, your experience expands. • As your experience expands, your desire expands. (Location 1423)

As your desire expands, the answering of your desire expands. • And the Universe expands—and that is good. In fact, it is perfect. • You live in an eternally expanding environment, which constantly causes newly focused desires within you, which Source immediately and always answers. • With each receiving of that which you are asking for, you achieve a new vantage point from which you spontaneously ask again. (Location 1431)

And so, the expansion of the Universe and your personal expansion will always be as follows: — You live in an expanding Universe. — You live in an expanding physical world. — You are an expanding Being. — And all of this is, whether you consciously understand it or not. — This Universe is eternally expanding, and so are you. — And that is good. (Location 1437)

Consciously Participate in Your Own Delicious Expansion

Your expansion is a given; the expansion of your time-space-reality is a given, and the expansion of this Universe is a given. It is just ever so much more satisfying for you to consciously and deliberately participate in your own expansion. (Location 1446)

Chapter 16 You Are Co-creating Within a Magnificently Diverse Universe

If you do not have the ability to know what you do want, you will not have the ability to know what you do not want. And without the ability to know what you do not want, you could not know what you do want. And so, it is through your exposure to life experience that your natural preferences are born. (Location 1455)

Unwanted Must Be Allowed, for Wanted to Be Received

You Did Not Come to Fix a Broken World

As you enthusiastically made the decision to come into this physical body and create in this way, you understood, from your Non-Physical vantage point, that this physical world was not broken and in need of repair—and you did not come forth to fix it. You saw this physical world as a creative environment in which you, and everyone else, could express yourselves creatively—you did not come forth to try to get others to stop doing what they are doing and do something else. You came forth understanding the value in the contrast, and the balance in the variety. (Location 1469)

Every physical Being on your planet is your partner in co-creation, and if you would accept that and appreciate the diversity of beliefs and desires— all of you would have more expansive, satisfying, and fulfilling experiences. (Location 1474)

There Is Enough Room for All Diverse Thoughts and Experiences

Here Is the Process by Which Your Universe Expands

You Will Never Get There, So Enjoy Your Journey

Feel the Balance and Perfection of Your Environment

Consider the perfection of this Universal environment: Every point of Consciousness is improving its state of being in just the same way as you, where every desire is understood and answered, and every perspective is honored and responded to. Feel the balance and perfection of your environment: Every point of Consciousness, even the Consciousness of a cell in your body, can request an improved state of being—and get it. (Location 1524)

Since Every Request Is Granted, There Is No Competition

Each point of view matters; every request is granted; and as this amazing Universe unerringly expands, there is no end to the Universal resources that fulfill these requests. And there is no end to the answers to the never-ending stream of questions—and for that reason, there is no competition. It is not possible for someone else to receive the resources that were meant for you, and you cannot selfishly squander resources that were intended for someone else. All desires are answered; all requests are granted, and no one is left unanswered, unloved, or unfulfilled. When you stay aligned with your Energy Stream, you always win, and somebody else does not have to lose for you to win. There is always enough. (Location 1529)

Note: Competitor vs. Creator

If someone is not receiving what they are asking for, it is not because there is a shortage of resources; it can only be that the person holding the desire is out of alignment with their own request. There is no shortage. There is no lack. There is no competition for resources. There is only the allowing or the disallowing of that which you are asking for. (Location 1539)

Chapter 17 Where Are You, and Where Do You Want to Be?

Your Greatest Gift to Give Is Your Happiness

The greatest gift that you could ever give to another is your own happiness, for when you are in a state of joy, happiness, or appreciation, you are fully connected to the Stream of pure, positive Source Energy that is truly who you are. And when you are in that state of connection, anything or anyone that you are holding as your object of attention benefits from your attention. (Location 1563)

Often, others (who do not understand that they have access to the Stream) suffer in their inability to hold themselves in a place of feeling good, and ask you to behave in a way that they believe will make them feel better. But not only do they hold you in a place of discomfort as they try to make you responsible for their joy, they hold themselves in a place of bondage as well. For they cannot control the way any other behaves, and if that control is necessary for their happiness, then they truly are in trouble. (Location 1567)

Your Happiness Does Not Depend on What Others Do

Your happiness does not depend on what others do, but only upon your own vibrational balance. And the happiness of others does not depend on you, but only on their own vibrational balance, for the way anyone feels, in any moment, is only about their own mix of Energies. (Location 1572)

Chapter 18 You Can Gradually Change Your Vibrational Frequency

Reach for the Best-Feeling Thought You Have Access To

If it is your decision to “follow your bliss,” and you have been focusing on a life situation that is nowhere near bliss, your decision to follow your bliss would be unsuccessful because the Law of Attraction cannot deliver a thought that holds such a dramatic vibrational difference. But if your decision is to reach for the best-feeling thought that you have access to, that decision can be easily achieved. (Location 1616)

good way to feel your way up this vibrational emotional scale is to always be reaching for the feeling of relief that comes when you release a more resistant thought and replace it with a more allowing thought. (Location 1624)

Chapter 19 Only You Can Know How You Feel about You

When you expect something, it is on the way. When you believe something, it is on the way. When you fear something, it is on the way. (Location 1631)

If there are things in your experience that you no longer wish to experience, your belief must change. If there are things that are not in your experience that you want to bring into your experience, your belief must change. (Location 1635)

Life Is Always in Motion, So You Cannot Be “Stuck”

it is not possible to stand still or be stuck, because Energy, and therefore life, is always in motion. Things are always changing. (Location 1643)

the reason it may feel to you as if you are stuck is because, while you are continuing to think the same thoughts, things are changing—but they are changing to the same thing over and over. If you want things to change to different things, you must think different thoughts. And that simply requires finding unfamiliar ways of approaching familiar subjects. (Location 1644)

Others Cannot Understand Your Desires or Feelings

Others cannot understand the vibrational content of your desires, and they cannot understand the vibrational content of where you are, so they are not in any way equipped to guide you. Even when they have the very best of intentions and want your absolute Well-Being, they do not know. And even though many of them attempt to be unselfish, it is never possible for them to separate their desire for you from their own desire for themselves. (Location 1650)

No One Else Knows What Is Appropriate for You

Chapter 20 Trying to Hinder Another’s Freedom Always Costs You Your Freedom

Every “Reality” Has Been Focused by Someone into Being

Unwanted Things Cannot Jump into Your Experience Uninvited

Freedom from the fear of unwanted experiences will never be achieved by trying to control the behavior or desires of others. Your freedom can only be allowed by adjusting your own vibrational point of attraction. (Location 1711)

Behind Every Desire Is the Desire to Feel Good

There is no desire that anyone holds for any other reason than that they believe they will feel better in the achievement of it. Whether it is a material object, a physical state of being, a relationship, a condition, or a circumstance—at the heart of every desire is the desire to feel good. And so, the standard of success in life is not the things or the money— the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel. (Location 1744)

In Your Appreciation, You Offer No Resistance

Appreciation and self-love are the most important aspects you could ever nurture. Appreciation of others and the appreciation of yourself are the closest vibrational matches to Source Energy of anything we have ever witnessed anywhere in this Universe. (Location 1756)

Whenever you are focused upon something you appreciate, since that current choice of thought is so similar to who you really are as Source Energy, there is no contradiction in your Energy. You are, in your moment of appreciation, offering no resistance to who you are, so your resulting emotional indication is one of love, joy, or the feeling of appreciation. You feel very good. (Location 1758)

But if you criticize someone or even find fault with yourself, your resulting feeling would not feel good, because the vibration of this thought of criticism is so very different from that of your Source. In other words, because you have chosen a thought that does not match who you really are, you can, in this moment, feel the discord of your choice through your emotions. (Location 1761)

You Must Be Selfish Enough to Align with Well-Being

Some worry, “If I selfishly achieve what I want, wouldn’t I be unfairly taking it from others?” But that concern is based on the misconception that there is a limit of available abundance. They worry that if they take too much of the pie, others will be left with nothing, while, in reality, the pie expands in proportion to the vibrational requests of all of you. (Location 1771)

Note: Competitor vs Creator

You must understand that the ultimate act of selfishness is to connect with Self. And when you do that, you are pure, positive Energy focused in this physical body. (Location 1783)

If You Are Not Expecting It, You Are Not Allowing It

So it seems obvious that the perfect creative situation is to really, really want something that you truly believe is possible. And when that combination of desire and belief is present within you, things will quickly and easily unfold in your experience. (Location 1798)

The Feeling of a Pure Desire Feels Good to You

The value in recognizing your emotions and then consciously working to offer thoughts in order to deliberately produce better-feeling emotions is truly what Deliberate Creation is. (Location 1807)

Why Would You Want to Be Over There?

In fact, the Law of Attraction says that you do not have access to thoughts and feelings that are very far from where you have recently been vibrating, but with some effort, you could find other thoughts. With a determination to feel better, you could change the subject and therefore find other thoughts with better-feeling vibrations—but vibrational shifting is usually a gradual process. (Location 1818)

In fact, a continual attempt, in defiance of the Law of Attraction, of trying to jump vibrational ranges is a major factor in the feelings of discouragement that eventually cause people to conclude that they really do not have control of their own life experiences. (Location 1821)

Chapter 21 You Are Only 17 Seconds Away from 68 Seconds to Fulfillment

With only a few seconds of focusing your attention on a subject, you activate the vibration of that subject within you, and immediately the Law of Attraction begins to respond to that activation. The longer you keep your attention focused on something, the easier it becomes for you to continue to focus upon it because you are attracting, through the Law of Attraction, other thoughts or vibrations that are the essence of the thought you began with. (Location 1827)

Within 17 seconds of focusing on something, a matching vibration becomes activated. And now, as that focus becomes stronger and the vibration becomes clearer, the Law of Attraction will bring to you more thoughts that match. At this point, the vibration will not have much attraction power, but if you maintain your focus longer, the power of the vibration will become further-reaching. And if you manage to stay purely focused upon any thought for as little as 68 seconds, the vibration is powerful enough that its manifestation begins. (Location 1830)

When you repeatedly return to a pure thought, maintaining it for at least 68 seconds, in a short period of time (hours in some cases or a few days in others), that thought becomes a dominant thought. And once you achieve a dominant thought, you will experience matching manifestations until you change it. (Location 1834)

Your Uncontrolled Thoughts Are Not to Be Feared

Once you deliberately choose a thought and consciously feel the improvement in the way you feel, you have successfully utilized your own guidance system, and you can now be on your way to the freedom that you desire and deserve—for there is nothing that you cannot be, do, or have. (Location 1855)

Chapter 22 The Different Degrees of Your Emotional Guidance Scale

You might say that different emotions have different vibrational frequencies, but a more accurate way of saying it would be: Your emotions are indicators of your vibrational frequency. (Location 1861)

imagine a gauge or scale with gradations or degrees, which indicate the position of the (fullest) allowance of your connection with your Source Energy all the way to your (emptiest) most resistant disallowance of your alignment with your Source Energy. (Location 1874)

A scale of your emotions would look something like this: 1. Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation 2. Passion 3. Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness 4. Positive Expectation/Belief 5. Optimism 6. Hopefulness 7. Contentment 8. Boredom 9. Pessimism 10. Frustration/Irritation/Impatience 11. “Overwhelment” 12. Disappointment 13. Doubt 14. Worry 15. Blame 16. Discouragement 17. Anger 18. Revenge 19. Hatred/Rage 20. Jealousy 21. Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness 22. Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness (Location 1876)

An Example of Consciously Moving Up Your Emotional Guidance Scale

Why Would Anyone Want to Discourage My Better-Feeling Anger?

Why Your Slightest Improvement Is of Such Great Value

The seeming lack of control of your life experience is mostly because you do not realize in which direction you are headed. (Location 1920)

Only You Know If Choosing Anger Is Appropriate for You

Someone outside of you does not know if your chosen thought of anger is an improvement for you; only you know—by the relief that you feel— the appropriateness of any thought. Until you decide that you are going to guide yourself by the way you feel, you can make no steady progress toward your own desires. (Location 1938)

“I’m Doing My Best to Make the Best of It” (Location 1941)

The key to regaining your wonderful feeling of personal empowerment and control is to decide, right now, no matter how good or how bad you are feeling, that you are going to do your best to make the best of it. Reach for the best-feeling thought that you have access to right now, and as you do that again and again, in a short period of time you will find yourself in a very good-feeling place. That is just the way it works! (Location 1948)

“If I Can Get There Emotionally, I Can Get Anywhere”

How you feel—and the feeling of relief that you discover as you reach for better-feeling thoughts—is your only true measurement of what you are attracting into your experience. (Location 1970)

“But What about Those Who Desire Not to Desire?”

We would describe the sensation of desire as the delicious awareness of new possibilities. Desire is a fresh, free feeling of anticipating wonderful expansion. The feeling of desire is truly the feeling of life flowing through you. But many people, while they are using the word desire, feel something quite different. Desire, for them, often feels like yearning, for while they are focused upon something that they want to experience or have, they are equally aware of its absence. And so, while they are using words of desire, they are offering a vibration of lack. They come to think that the feeling of desire is like wanting something that they do not have. But there is no feeling of lack in pure desire. (Location 1973)

Does Your Desire Feel Like the Next Logical Step?

When your desire feels so big that it feels unreachable, it is not on the verge of manifestation. When your desire feels to you like it is the next logical step, then it is on the verge of manifestation. (Location 2004)

Introducing 22 Proven Processes That Will Improve Your Point of Attraction

Is There Something I Want to Improve?

Your habit of resistant thought is the only thing that ever keeps you from allowing the things you desire. (Location 2049)

If you do not do something that causes a different vibrational offering, then nothing in your experience can change. (Location 2051)

A Suggestion for Utilizing These Processes

read through each process without actually performing the action that is suggested. As you read through the processes, if they hold any immediate value for you, you will feel a strong impulse to perform them. (Location 2060)

Then, when you have the time to perform the processes, begin with the one for which you felt the most enthusiasm. (Location 2062)

Let Your Emotions Be Your Guide

Generally speaking, the better you feel, the more the lower-numbered processes will be of benefit for you; and the worse you feel, the more the higher-numbered processes will be of benefit. (Location 2081)

Let Us Begin by Improving the Way We Feel

you cannot apply the process without improving the way you feel. And you cannot improve the way you feel without releasing resistance and thereby improving your point of attraction. And when you improve your point of attraction, the Law of Attraction must bring you circumstances, events, relationships, experiences, sensations, and powerful evidence of your shift in vibration. It is Law! (Location 2089)

Some of these processes will become your favorites. Some you will want to utilize every day, some you may never use, some you may use at first and then no longer find necessary, and some you will resurrect when special circumstances arise. (Location 2092)

Have You Put a Happy Face on It?

In the same way that you would not deaden your fingertips to desensitize them to heat, or put a “Happy Face” sticker on the dashboard of your vehicle to cover your fuel gauge indicator because you do not like seeing that you are out of fuel, you would not want to mask your own feelings, pretending to feel different from how you really feel. For pretending in this way does nothing to change your vibrational point of attraction. The only way you can do so is to change your vibrational offering, and when you do change your vibrational offering, the way you feel changes, too. (Location 2101)

Focusing Energy to Change Your Vibrational Offering

When you remember an incident from a past experience, you are focusing Energy. When you are imagining something that may occur in your future, you are focusing Energy, and, of course, when you are observing something in your now, you are focusing Energy. It makes no difference whether you are focusing on the past, present, or future, you are still focusing Energy—and your point of attention or focus is causing you to offer a vibration that is your point of attraction. (Location 2106)

You Must Be Consciously Aware to Be a Deliberate Creator

the most satisfying aspect of Deliberate Creation comes from being sensitive to the way the thoughts you are thinking feel, for then it is possible to modify a bad-feeling thought to one that feels better, and to thereby improve your point of attraction before something unwanted manifests. It is far easier—before an unwanted physical manifestation appears—to deliberately change the direction of your thought to something that feels better. (Location 2119)

Deliberate Creation is about deliberately guiding your thoughts in good-feeling directions. (Location 2123)

There is even some satisfaction to be found in recognizing the not-so-good-feeling thought and then observing the not-so-good-manifestation that must follow, for now your conscious awareness of the powerful Law of Attraction will give you the feeling of control. (Location 2125)

There Is Always Another Uncontrollable Circumstance When Trying to Control Others

Many people spend the majority of their lives attempting to control circumstances because they believe that in the controlling of the circumstance, they will feel better. But no matter how much control they gain over the actions of others, it is never enough— because there is always another uncontrollable circumstance. (Location 2132)

Deliberate Creation Is about Choosing Better-Feeling Thoughts

Many say, “Once that condition changes, I’ll feel better. When I have more money or move into a better house or find a better job or a better mate, then I’ll feel better.” We do not disagree that it does feel better to observe something that is pleasing than something that is not, but that is going about it in a very backwards way. Deliberate Creation is not about the condition changing and then your finding a better feeling in response to the changed condition. Deliberate Creation is about choosing a thought that feels good when you choose it, which then causes the condition to change. (Location 2137)

You Can Only Attract Thoughts Within Your Vibrational Range (Location 2145)

it is not possible for you to find and hold a thought if your current vibrational set-point is very different from that thought. You only have access to thoughts whose vibrations are somewhere in your current vibrational range. (Location 2149)

The Purpose of These Processes Is to Release Your Resistance

Through observing, remembering, pondering, and discussing, you have practiced thoughts that have become more powerful thoughts or beliefs, which now dominate your point of attraction. And each thought you consider or focus upon causes you to feel an emotional response. And so, over time, you have come to feel certain ways about certain things. We call that your Emotional Set-Point. (Location 2163)

The following processes are numbered 1 through 22. The closer you are, right now, to vibrational alignment with your own Source of Well-Being, the more effective the lower-numbered techniques will be in helping you to fully realign. The further you are, right now, from your vibrational alignment with Source, the higher the number of the process will have to be in order to bring you back into alignment. (Location 2166)
