Law Of Attraction Myth Series:
Asking
Asking for a life of luxury leads to no manifestation or momentum towards it, because it is egotistical. Instead, you should focus on service and passion.
a) An egotistical desire is simply taking without giving anything back. A law of human relationships is that you must be of service and give, if you are to receive back. Nobody is going to give you everything on a plate. This law of relationships is a law which permeates through nature.
b) To have an egotistical desire is not creating. It is simply having a desire without any power. True manifestation is a creative process which creates new things through using your natural resources. So as long as you are creating new things in accordance with your passion only, will you be on the road to successful manifestation. To simply want something without giving will lead to negative manifestation.
The universe doesn't owe you anything and is indifferent.
You simply can't ask, and expect everything to fall on a plate for you. You must create for yourself. No one is there to give you a leg up. You must create the help yourself, and use the resources that you have within you:
a) Manifestation is nothing to do with the universe. It is to do with you in your mind and body being the centre (or center) of the construct by which reality is created. The universe cannot do anything for you, except what you allow through using your own mind and body.
b) You must not expect anything to come to you. What can be manifested is already there. All you must do is increase your awareness through a change in your state of consciousness to realise what is already there.
What To Expect/Conclusion
Asking is a very mis-understood concept in manifestation, and law of attraction circles don't make this any easier. When you take the steps to learn real manifestation, you will realise the truth in these statements. So long as you ask in the wrong way, your manifestation will be useless. Please take heed from the lessons above.
