Having problems with message search?
Hi Caroline, I thought I'd posted a general invitation to my new course (Applying Love to Myself) on Instant Manifestation, sorry! It's free, by the way, and still open if you'd like to take it.
<<Just to see if there's an outside chance it's not really predetermined.>> All I can say about predestined lives is it feels a bit depressing, for me, to think you just have to follow along what's already been decided; it doesn't feel inspiring or exciting or challenging, so I don't happen to believe it's as simple as that! The way you understand it seems to be draining the fun out of your life, if you don't mind me saying so - just from the general tone of your emails; you're saying one thing but underlying I think maybe you'd really like someone to convince you there's more to be enjoyed from your life? I'm sorry you lost your husband (sincere sympathies, I lost a brother when I was 9 and bereavement has shadowed my life up until the last few years!) I wonder if you're still really suffering grief from your husband's death? Please don't be offended by this, I happen to believe that you've done a good job trying to convince yourself not to expect too much since you've been disappointed in the past. I see most people, including myself, being generally unaware of the way we're limiting ourselves and 'making do.' The courses I write are aimed at changing the way we think about life, and ourselves, and helping to understand the way we attract the circumstances of our current lives and the treatment we get from others. The Instant manifestation group came about because I wanted to see if other people could help in 'charging' our dreams and bringing them to reality; it's a process I'm constantly experimenting with but now I think, through the route of Applying Love, that I've found the answer, and it's to change the way we think about ourselves, about our 'deservingness' if that's a word; I have changed the way I think about myself in small ways, and seen immediate changes in the way I act and the results I get back. I think there's alot we can do and we will all be happier if we concentrate on the things we truly do have control over, which is our inner world of thoughts, beliefs and feelings. That's where it all starts from, and the experience of seeing the positive side of everything, looking for positive signs of change, when we're trying to change, and generally being active, internally,
I've changed the way my life is greatly since applying Love, refusing negative interpretations of things, and I'm having alot of fun now, relationships are all getting better and I'm doing something I love doing, and helping others through sharing my experiences.
the list of things you want is really quite extensive, but you seem to think nothing new or interesting can happen in your life; I disagree, and learning to choose how to think and respond to the things we have can make even the most trivial things special and wonderful; the quality of our lives can certainly be changed, even if the course of our life and events ARE predestined (which I still choose to think they aren't...could be wrong here though!)
So even if nothing huge changed for you, by learning to interpret what happens to you in a more positive way, you'll be improving your health, your attitude and your enjoyment! That's what my courses are about. I have another yahoo group. called applyinglove, where I talk about this kind of thing more.

I'm not sure what you mean about lesson three of your course. Is the course presented to this group? I've recently joined so haven't seen any lessons so far. Not that I recognized as lessons anyway. But if one has to pay for the course otherwise, it's likely not something I can afford as I'm on a very low social security income.I'm 68yo, btw, 69 next month. So I'm naturally not striving for anything career-wise at this stage of my life after being retired from the business world & job market that I'd be using manifestation techniques for. Just trying to make my elder years as comfortable as possible is all. I'm disabled with 40 years of chronic pain from spinal/back problems that disabled me too so that restricts a lot of my activities. So other than better health, personal comfort, improved abilities, better income or more health insurance coverage & some friends, closer family relations & some social life, I haven't a clue what else I'd be wanting to manifest. Maybe a boyfriend too, but not sure about that either as health, disabilities problems, especially no teeth currently are deciding that for me right now whether I like it or not.But right now just manifesting teeth/dentures for better appearance & chewing food with is my first priority. And that's been a problem for over a year now & way more acute recently. So lonely & isolated or even reclusive as I've already become in my new residence & location since my husband died in 2001, I'm not going out of this house or planning on doing much for social life or anything else other than to the dentist until I have teeth again which won't be for a few months yet or maybe longer from what I've been told so far.That & being able to sleep better lying flat because I have to sit up to sleep due to serious indigestion problems which aggravates my back/spine problems & causes me to be super tired, uncomfortable in my own body, eating foods I greatly dislike & generally disgruntled with ill health, depression & life in general. Tho the spinal/back disabilities of 40 years duration do seem to be doing okay & not too painful currently, thank goodness. That has been my ongoing worst problem in being successful at lots of things even when I was a working woman years ago. I was greatly incapacitated & in great pain with that all last year, could hardly walk & now am more physically restricted than I was before the accident that caused it. Also have developed a lot of bad habits & become more depressed since then.But over my life, since about age 30, I've done a lot of manifestation work, affirmations, rituals, planning, scheduling, organization, even some Feng Shui in my home, etc. in the past having taken various & sundry spiritual & esoteric classes, reading, attended groups & done lots to understand my subconscious workings. Including Self-realization with astrology teachings to help with that & learning my own astro chart & life plan. Sometimes it works okay, sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes I got what I really didn't want tho I was asking for something else. Mostly in relationships, marriages, etc. But also job or career related. And certainly health related.I'm an astrologer, among other things tho. But not doing it professionally anymore & wouldn't really want to even if it were possible, except for myself. I've come to believe tho, after studying astrology for 40 years, that I think one's life is predetermined. It's a script we just walk through, say & do. And there's not much we can change about it. If knowing our subconscious or Self-Realization or manifesting something we want & have worked at & asked for, is something we need to learn or know or manifest, it will be in the birth chart.If that weren't true, then it wouldn't be possible to predict or forcast what one can read in a chart. So I go by what the planets, sun & moon are doing pretty much to see blockages, time frames for things to come to fruition, careers, life in general, even with attempting manifesting what we think we want but might not get no matter how hard we try - even better health or physical abilities.So I've concluded that If there's something we want when we try to manifest it, in other words, we'll either get it or we won't. What we'll get is what we "need" or what our life calls for, for personal growth & realization, not what we necessarily "want" or think we want. So this is why, I think (at this time anyway) that whatever we wish to manifest is either already written into our birth chart & we'll get it because it's meant to be or we won't because it's not part of our life in this embodiment & there are other lessons for us to learn instead.At least those are my current conclusions but my mind is open to be changed as always. As for the subconscious, I don't see how we can change that much really. It seems to be what is running our lives for good or ill & no amount of trying to manifest anything otherwise is going to change it as that's in the natal chart too.But I joined this group out of curiousity to see if there's anything new about manifesting I might learn or discuss. So far, in this group, I haven't read anything so far that I haven't known or learned before about it. Also joined to see if my current conclusions about astrology & everything's predetermined, even what we've planned to manifest & have gotten in our lives or in the future, or not.But from all the charts & readings I've done for myself & others all these many years, I don't see how it can't be. Tho there are a few astrologers who say the birth chart (life script) is something we can go beyond or "rise above" so to speak, so that everything in it isn't predetermined or written in cement, unchangeable.But even if that were true, that going beyond it or rising above it would also somehow be written into it & could be foreseen in the chart. That is, changes in consciousness, major life changes, things going in a totally different, better direction, even physical immortality, etc could also be foreseen in one's chart. So far tho, mine's looking pretty grim & not going to change much, depending on how much longer I have to live. But then we all have to face growing old, deteriorating & dying sooner or later, don't we? I'm already feeling rather dead, not having much of "a life" but would like that to change if at all possible.Caroline----- Original Message -----From: healingSent: Friday, January 13, 2006 7:19 AMSubject: Re: [instantmanifestation] eft abundance blocked by resentment article/sessionHi Caroline, nice to hear from you!It sounds to me like you've got some negative programming running which is fulfilling an old instruction - what exactly that is, I don't know, but it's something to do with success not being safe, or you not deserving it for some reason, probably! Lesson Three of my course will look into these beliefs, so I think it would be perfect for you!Certainly it would help to think about how perfectly your subconscious is working to do exactly what you told it; if you can accept that concept, then it isn't hard to see a change in the instructions/belief would lift the feeling of being stopped by outside forces beyond your control.And you haven't really given up on fulfilling goals or you wouldn't have joined the instant manifestation group! So I'd say the stage you're at right now is the perfect place to move towards greater understanding about yourself and life. Being blocked is a demonstration of the power of your own beliefs. I know what those blocks feel like and it's disappointing, frustrating, and generally unhealthy! If health is your main focus, then think about how such a negative belief in life itself is actually draining you of life-force energy, slowly but surely. You've replied to me for a reason, and I'm offering you all the help I can to see how perfect your life is, given your underlying beliefs about it and yourself. And of course, the chance to change those beliefs and the way you think about yourself and life.Have a think about that, and if you'd like to take part and get to know yourself a bit better, I know you'll enjoy it!all the best,Jane----- Original Message -----From: Caroline PollakSent: Friday, January 13, 2006 2:09 PMSubject: Re: [instantmanifestation] eft abundance blocked by resentment article/sessionGood suggestion. Loving the Self & taking care of the Self as best we can at any given time is always the best way to start or continue.As for future goals, I don't seem to have any anymore at this time in my life. I did have many interests & some related goals several years ago. But after one disappointment after another in trying to pursue them, mainly illnesses or accidents intefering, I just finally quit having any expectations about pursuring goals or about the future in general.Now I'm just taking life as it comes day to day. And taking care of whatever comes up day to day as well.I do have some short term goals related to health such as making health appointments & just getting through the winter. But nothing much more than that related to any career pursuits, relationships, making friends, social life, etc. Not anymore anyway.I see no point in setting myself up for yet another disappointment. There are never any guarantees in life anyway.Comments are welcome,Caroline----- Original Message -----From: creativejaniSent: Friday, January 13, 2006 5:05 AMSubject: [instantmanifestation] eft abundance blocked by resentment article/sessionhttp://www.emofree.com/articles2/Denise-abundance-story.htm
I'm sure alot of you already get the eft newsletters, but in case you
don't or didn't see this, I recommend you read it and tap along with
the session! Even if you don't feel resentment there's the 'borrowing
benefits' aspect and any focus on abundance/receiving is bound to bring
up something enlightening!
I'd love to hear from some of you about your goals; my goal of the
house I posted seems to be quietly sleeping at the moment, and I'm
enjoying writing the Applying Love to Myself course and finding some
amazing exercises and methods of changing negative beliefs and removing
blocks to getting what I want. If anyone here wants to sign up, there's
still time! Send a personal email to me, at
healing@... with 'applying Love to Myself -
Introduction'in the subject and I'll send it to you. I believe
fulfilling our dreams and applying Love are inextricably linked - our
dreams are the things we'd love, after all, not just the things
we'd 'quite like!' Sometimes we can't get what we think we want because
we don't really want it! And the things we really want, we've shut out
of our awareness due to a belief that we don't deserve, or never get
what we ask for, etc. So these beliefs about ourselves are ultimately
what govern our lives - we get what we believe we deserve!
The exercise on changing and removing limiting beliefs is in Lesson 3
or 4 of the course; I'm still writing it, but please do sign up (for
free) soon if you'd like to take part.
all the best, love Jane
