Law of Attraction Myth Series:

Receiving

 

 

Receiving is the concept of getting what you ask for. It is advocated in law of attraction circles as the final component of the manifestation process. However, there are serious misconceptions in receiving, because it doesn't happen in the way people suppose. Below are some understandings to help you:

 

1. You cannot receive your goal from the universe.

 

It is proposed that "the universe" allows you to receive your goal, but this is false.

 

This is because:

 

a) The universe cannot do anything for you, nor can it help you, except by what you will. The only way to will is by taking control of your own mind and body. This is the fundamental which must exist which creates manifestation.  You do not receive your goal. You in fact, create your goal as a manifestation.

 

b) Manifestation is only a one way process. You are the cause of change, and you are causing other things to change. The universe is completely subject to your will, in accordance with the control you have over your mind and body. You do not receive anything from it. You are helping it to manifest.

 

2. Receiving creates the misconception that you only have to do half the work

 

In other words, you do half the work, and the universe does the other half or part of the work to make your goal come easier. This is false:

 

a) You have to do all the work in true manifestation. You need to make all the actions, and change your state of awareness to be aware of all the occurrences and situations which aid your goal. Receiving creates the misconception that your burden is somehow lightened by "something else" doing most of the work for you, and you simply being in the right state of mind.

 

b) Receiving as a process plays no actual part in manifestation whatsoever. The process of manifestation is your actions and mindset to create the manifestation. To put the emphasis on receiving is therefore putting the emphasis on a non-manifesting process which leads to no manifestation.

 

3. Receiving can lead one into an egotistical and selfish state

 

That is, the more you focus on receiving, the more you become egotistical. This creates negative manifestation:

 

a) You must focus on your passion and giving. This allows you to connect with the natural resources within you. To focus on receiving is to ignore the fundamental process of manifestation in service and giving.

 

b) Receiving disconnects your mind with the unconscious mind foundation. Manifestation is an unconscious process which happens outside of your conscious awareness. To become detached to the manifestation and to focus on the act and the process unconditionally guarantees the manifestation to come true. To focus on receiving disconnects you with this, so you lose all the mental manifestations (plans, intuitions, ideas, thoughts etc) and the correlating physical manifestation which comes from it.

 

What To Expect/Conclusion

 

Receiving is a very misinformed and mis-understood topic in the manifestation world. There are many pitfalls to avoid which have been highlighted above. You should always focus on the act and process of giving and following your passion above all else, and ignore receiving altogether.
