We were born with the unlimited potential to intentionally create (use the law of attraction) to manifest all of our heart's desires. Together, as Conscious Leaders guided by the Divine, we have the Mind Power necessary to co-create a sustainable, harmonious, peaceful, and prosperous world.  And, we can do this while also attracting and creating a passionate, loving, rich, healthy life with all of our personal dreams fulfilled.

I’m so sorry if I mislead you. Manifesting in reality is not always easy, nor is it supposed to be.

Q: Dear Anisa,

Firstly, let me say that you are an amazing person doing a
wonderful job in helping so many people change their lives.
However, I need to let you know that what you have is a gift
and it is simply not available to everyone.

Like not everyone can be a fast runner.  Years ago when I
first learned about creating abundance I was over the moon
that I could turn my life around.  I commenced in earnest,
last year when I discovered your site I really picked up the
pace.  Doing whatever you suggested.  However, my life is
now a sheer living hell, nothing I tried to create ever
happened.  In fact stuff so horrible I couldn’t even dream
of came to be for me.

Last night two people hurt me in a way I can’t even begin to
describe.  I now know that my life lesson is to know how
horrible, ugly, unworthy and to never stray from this
because it hurts too much when it comes crashing down.
Please warn people that not everyone is able to fulfill
their dreams.  – R in Australia.

A: My friends in creation, I owe you an apology.

My friend that wrote this heartfelt letter to me is correct.
I have done you a terrible disservice.  I have distracted
you from the essence of Truth. Although my intention has
been positive as I wanted you to know that you are loved;
you are powerful beyond words; you are worthy and deserving
of the fulfillment of your biggest dreams.  But, I have
neglected to shake up this ‘Truth’ with the practical advice
that ‘you can’t get there through thoughts alone’.

Unfortunately, when I try to limit the length of my articles
I end up omitting Truths that make the words more accurate.

For example, I’ve supported misinformation such as “we can
have our cake and eat it too.” By not also driving home the
importance of understanding the law of balance, (the law of
compensation) that says ‘there’s always a price to pay for
every fulfillment’, I’ve mislead you. By supporting the
thought that as unlimited conscious creators we do not have
to compromise, negotiate, or ever surrender to a lesser
reality at times, I’ve encouraged an impractical
relationship with fantasy.

I’ve unwittingly misdirected you in focusing on the
‘external’ as the Source of your supply when your Internal
Being is in fact the ONLY source and supply of ALL things
good and bad in your life.

I’ve neglected sharing with you critical steps that must be
taken to achieve the fulfillment you desire. I’d like to set
the record straight.

1)    There is always a price to pay, an exchange of energy
that must occur, for a goal to manifest in physical form.

For example – the achievement of ‘health’ requires a person
to give up the benefits of being unhealthy.  The
manifestation of a mate requires a person to give up aspects
of their independence.  Or, the creation of wealth requires
a person to become adept at managing money and thus the loss
of the comfort of financial indifference.

These ‘losses’ cannot be avoided just because we know
conscious creation.  Of course, we can create a comfortable
resolution and compromise but it is never accurate to
believe we can have ALL things we decide without loss,
exchange, or compromise.  This is the law of balance and
compensation, and there will always be a price we must be
willing to pay to achieve our dreams.

Until we accept and embrace the ‘cost’ we will forever be
disappointed in our creative abilities and experiences.

2)     You cannot become a masterful creator through force.  NO
amount of visualization, affirmation, and positive thinking
alone will support your long term success and self-love.

This has been scientifically proven. Affirmations don’t work
and in fact can negatively spoil our self-esteem when, like
my friend R. in Australia, we realize that it doesn’t work
for us. According to a recently published study in
Psychological Science, “individuals with low self-esteem
actually felt worse about themselves after repeating
positive self-statements such as “I am a lovable person” or
“I will succeed.”  And this negative feeling did not relent
when the participants became more insistent, tenacious, or
emphatic.

When we feel ‘negative’ we attract negatively.  We cannot
deny our negative feelings and expect to manifest positive
outcomes.

We can, however, turn to the Spirit Within and resolve the
disconnection, thus resolving the negativity.

3)    As long as your happiness is dependent upon the
obtainment of a visualized goal your fulfillment will be
short-lived at best.

It is NOT the manifestation of your desires that will create
happiness.  It is the manifestation of happiness with what
IS that creates the manifestation of your desires.

It is not ‘money’, or ‘the outcome of a goal’, or ‘your job’
or ‘your spouse,’ or anything outside of you that is
responsible for your Joy or Prosperity.  Nothing outside of
YOU is ever the CAUSE of your experience.

4)    Detachment is more than the act of handing your desires
over to the Universe and trusting that they will manifest.
Detachment is more than being able to say, “this or
something better” or “I trust in the Divine to bring this
about in Perfect Order and Divine Timing.”

Detachment is the result of a solid faith, an unwavering
conviction in the all-providing activity of the Divine Mind
Within as the Source of ALL your good.

If you truly accepted that it is your Birthright to
experience Love, Joy, Peace, and Prosperity; that it is your
natural and inseparable state of grace to have your needs
met and your dreams fulfilled, would you ever judge what is
as ‘wrong’ or inappropriate?

No. You would instead, look at what is, give thanks for the
contrast and become excited about your renewed clarity.  You
would then simply claim what you intend to experience
instead.

If you KNEW that no person and nothing could remove you from
your natural state of fulfillment; and that it is actually
impossible as a Divine Child of God with Unlimited Potential
to NOT have your wants, needs, and desires fulfilled, then
you would rest patiently, knowing that all is well and that
which you desire is in fact revealing itself already.

5)    Although we play a co-creative role in all of our life’s
experiences, we are not ‘thoughtfully’ responsible for
creating bad things.

It is not accurate to say that the person that has cancer
‘created’ it because of their negative thoughts, or because
they were irresponsible with their health and emotional
well-being.

Super-annoying LOA fanatics will say crazy things like,
“well… they must have created the death of their child.”
This heartless and ignorant rhetoric casts a shadow on all
seekers of Truth as brainwashed, crazy cult members!   This
is metaphysical malpractice and should not be tolerated or
endorsed.

Now, I also need to share what I feel is more accurate.  We
have a responsibility and we play a creative role in every
experience, including ‘when bad things happen’.

However, it is inaccurate from our limited perspective to
sit in judgment of ‘what is’ as bad, negative, wrong, or
unfair.

While there is NOT some higher, external force asserting its
will over us or a pre-determined destiny that we have no
influence over, we are collaborating with a Higher Order
that is always aligned with our Higher Intentions.

I can say this with certainty because as an intentional
being, that knows how to apply the laws of the Universe, I
too have manifested great struggles and challenges.

I’ve collaborated with my higher self to manifest disease-
scares, physical abuse, abandonment, divorce, failure, my
son’s health challenges and birth defect, my financial rise
and fall on repeated occasions, and many more opportunities
for self-pity than I can share in one sitting.

In the end, these challenges have brought forth my passion
for teaching, my unquenchable thirst for Truth, and my
ability to believe in myself in ways that no ‘easy
manifestation’ ever could.

While those challenges were difficult, I know that I am a
better teacher and example because I courageously faced and
overcame those challenges.  This, for me, is WHY I
participated in the experience and creation of failure and
challenge.   And, I wouldn’t change those experiences for
anything.

6)    I will not take back the Truth that you are unlimited.
This Divine Inheritance is not reserved for those of us who
are ‘gifted’ or somehow more special or lovable.  The energy
that creates worlds is available to each of us equally.

7)    There’s no silver bullet but there is a spiritual path
that many, many, many teachers have revealed.

First stop on the path:  Meditation. No spiritual seeker
ever gained enlightenment without meditation.  This is a
fact.  While there are many forms of meditation that will
support enlightenment, there’s no form of all-encompassing
enlightenment that occurs without meditation.

Second stop on the path: Self-Awareness. If we do not
clearly see where we are, we cannot get where we want to go.
Through resolute self-assessment we determine what is
aligned with our values and higher intentions and what is
not.  This is the path to change, growth, and ultimately
oneness with the Divine Inheritance we desire.

Third stop on the path: Service. As we align with our Higher
Self, we stop focusing on ‘our needs as uber-important’ and
start looking for opportunities to serve.  This shift brings
forth a heightened sense of joy and meaning.  This becomes
the substance, the emotional vibration, that in turn becomes
responsible for the fulfillment of the ‘things we said we
wanted’ in the first place.

Alas, this article is too long and still incomplete. There’s
so much more I’d like to communicate.

The bottom line is I cannot take back the Truth that you are
gifted and have the power to create your dreams.   I do,
however, apologize for confusing the issue by implying that
it’s an effortless road.   Enlightenment requires work.
However, ask anyone that has stayed the course, it’s worth
it.

I hold only one vision for you:  Completely fulfilled,
supported, and loved.
