determine what you want — bullshit!
I want to talk about the law of attraction, but it’s something that nobody talks about. That is, see, the law of attraction in theory is that you’ve got to determine what you want. That’s the first thing everybody says. Now some people will say you’ve got to be really, really specific, some other people will say you’ve got to be more general.
The best answer I got about the amount of specificity you’ve got to have when determining what it is you want or describing it, is you go as specific as it makes you feels good, and I went oh. So for example, I want a new plasma TV, a big huge plasma TV. Now if I just say plasma TV it doesn’t feel good, but if I think about the size, the look, the feel, I’m not going to go as specific as knowing the brand of the TV, I don’t really care, but I know that it has to be an incredibly high quality image. I want good sound in it and I want to be able to play my video games, and I know the feeling I want to have while playing my video games on that television. So that’s kind of very, very specific. But if I go more specific than that – is it LCD or plasma, the brand – I don’t get a good feeling. If I go more general than that, then I don’t have a good feeling. It’s a good example. I found that when it’s some thing that you want to do, thing meaning really material stuff like a car or jewelry, I find it easier to be more specific.
Now, something I’ve been playing with in the last three days is more states than stuff – so fun, joy, whatever it is. Now when I “attract” something as general as a feeling, meaning having the experience of having fun, well it might help for me to give myself examples. So playing the new Halo Reach with friends, that’s an example of doing something specific that’s fun. But I found if I want to experience or attract in my life a feeling, if I focus on how specifically I want the feeling to happen, unless that’s what I really want, but it kind of jam the whole things up. I prefer to just focus on the vagueness of the feeling. Now, in terms of describing what you want there seems to be different ways of doing it, and sometimes one way works wonderful, and sometimes the same way doesn’t work. So one way to describe things is in terms of your relationship with time.
So I’d like to have fun, means it’s in the future. It might be now, it might be in two days, but it’s kind of in the future. I’d like to have a television or whatever, it’s kind of in the future. So sometimes I love to use that point of view because it’s open to possibilities. But, sometimes you want to use your relationship with time as if you already have it. So if I say oh I already have the television, well that’s a different feeling because it’s more realistic. It makes the experience more real, but at the same time you use the kind of thrill of oh it’s on its way. So playing with your point of view and relationship with time is very interesting. So you’re in the now and the event is in the future, or you’re in the now and you have it right now.
Or, sometimes what I like to do is I go into the future and I’ve had it for a while. It changes the feeling and it depends on what it is that you’re looking for. So for example, if you have a big goal, it’s something that you have difficulty believing that it’s done. For example, let’s say it’s making a million dollars and you’ve only made $500 per year for the last 80 years and you’d like to make a million dollars. So it’s kind of a stretch. So what you do is you could say in the future I’d like to make a million dollars, but it doesn’t feel good; you don’t believe it. Then you can say I have a million dollars and then describe the reality as if you already had it. But, the one thing you could do is add time to it.
So for the last 20 years I’ve been making a million dollars a year, how would I feel then? So it adds certainty to it because in the scenario you’re building in your mind you’ve been making a million dollars for 20 years. When you do this, right now I’m making my first million, or right now I’ve been making one million a year for five years, or right now I’m making a million per year for the last 20 years. The feeling will change.
So I think that’s one way – the more I’m playing with this and the more it seems that it’s an art between different elements of how you feel. How do you determine what you want? Is it based on right now, or something in the past that somebody said what you should want? And when you describe what you want are you writing it down? Are you acting it? Are you saying it out loud? So these are all different ways, because the problem with all of the courses is they are too general. They give you what to do, not how to do. So for example, and I quote Kevin Trudeau, you’ve got to turn your back on what you don’t want and focus on what you want. All right, now how do I do this?
Do I actually go into Wal-Mart or Future Shop, look at the TV screen that I want, then I look at it all day and I turn my back and I invite my banker to Future Shop to whom I owe $23,000 and I turn my back to him literally and look at the screen? How do you do that specifically? That’s always my thing. And the more I learn about this, there’s two things – there’s the technique you’re using or the methodology or the principles of the law of attraction, and then there’s the manifestation of it. So for example, if you want fun in your life then maybe today the idea that’s going to come into your mind is I don’t know, start a new business. So you go oh, I find the tool so forever I know how to have fun. No, because the next day because you’ve worked too much yesterday, the tool that the universe is going to provide to you is get drunk. So it’s kind of sometimes confusing because when you really start beaming what you want and you get it in your life, you go oh can I let go now? So it’s kind of a fun thing to do.
