John Petrov has apparently gone from being flat broke to living his dreams in less than two months. His life wasn't going real well and he was looking for something to help him turn it around. That was his motivation right there. He was chasing his dreams and was 'about to give up and get a regular job' when he watched the 'Secret', read heaps of other book along those lines and, well it seems he's doing pretty well now.

He then developed the 'Attractor Genie' software and it seems to be a pretty popular and successful program. Perhaps it's the novelty of using a 'click button' to remove negative thoughts, delete limiting thoughts and activating the 'law of attraction' that makes it appealing?

Now I'll be honest and tell you that I haven't used this myself. I do, however, practise manifestation daily. I've been practising manifestation, on-and-off over the years with varying results. For example, I wanted a particular job once and I meditated on it each night for a few weeks. I had gone for an interview with this organisation 3 months before that and I wasn't successful for that position. However, not long after I actively started practising manifestation, the same person contacted me and offered me a position. He told me that my name 'came to him' one night during his mediations.

Now maybe this was a coincidence, it’s hard to know. There’s no measureable (scientific) way of knowing. It has to come down to belief. Whenever I think of that time, I feel a sense of awe. At the time, I wanted something, I meditated on ‘attracting’ it, and it ‘came’ to me. So I guess I could either dismiss it outright saying that it was indeed a coincidence, or open myself to the possibility that something beyond my limited ego was operating. I don’t believe in ‘blind faith’ belief systems though, so I tend to be a middle ground kind of person. So, something amazing happened when I did this, so I’ll continue to test it.

Time went on and the event and my ‘active’ manifestation practice fell into the background. I guess my work at the time – counselling in a remote community – took precedence. It wasn’t until years later after a particularly unhappy year that I was again motivated to look for something that would make a positive difference in my life. Whilst the Celestine Prophecy opened me up to deeper connections, synchronization and magic, the Secret reminded me of the power of thinking and how if you practiced thinking a particular thing over and over – positive or negative – it will manifest itself in your life. So I figured that I had some regular negative thoughts that were contributing to my unhappiness.

So again there’s the motivation that inspires people – and me – to search for something that we feel is missing in our lives. Something is not good enough and it needs to be changed. What do I need to do to help me achieve or change this? More importantly, how will I know I’ve achieved this? What’s going to be different? What do I want? Why bother with it all?

I would guess this is the key to any great change in our lives. Assessing or identifying what’s missing in our current life, and trying something that will help me achieve what I want and give me some ‘hope’ that it can be different. So the assumption here is that if we are the sum of our thoughts, then what thoughts do I need to do more/less of to allow me to manifest or create more or less of the type of life I want?

So I began active and regular manifestation. Has my life been better this year? Yes. Do I believe that my active manifestation is instrumental in this outcome? Yes. How do I know this? I feel stronger within myself, I’m more positive, I have achieved some of my wants after identifying them and how important they are in my life, I have a more optimistic outlook for the future, I’ve just got a work promotion, and one of my old passions has been reborn again. So does manifestation work? It does for me, but what about you?

So far, no-one has participated in any of my other polls, but I’ll include another one and practise ‘manifesting’ some contributors.

All the best

Alan
