On the way to a catastrophe

People have said;

“What’s the good of positive thinking when a person can die in an earthquake. Are you really saying that their thinking put them in the way of a catastrophe. Do you really think that person would put the idea of dying into the mix of manifestation?”

They have also said,

“I know people who do all sorts of manifestation work and their lives are still crap.”

“I’ve been working hard to produce the future I want and I see no evidence of it’s manifestation.”

“Jeezzz”, these are good questions. I grieves me that I’ve never been able to answer in a way that will change a persons view one iota. Most of my answers have to do with my beliefs about what is possible and that isn’t tremendously compelling. Yet I still have something to say whether I can effect change or not!

If you come across people who do manifesting work and have ample evidence of the desired result, you have to ask, "are they doing something I'm not?"

Is it luck, do they have a sunny disposition, or are they just really clever. Proper smarty pants.

The trick as I see it is to work on something you desire, but not too much. Something that “matters not a jot.” So that when it comes, if it comes, -  good, and if not, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The second trick, is to try again. For the third trick, please read above.

Maybe on the way to the catastrophe, the manifesting work you do will be enough to make life a little bit more to your liking.

Maybe you will start to get bits of proof that some small change has occurred. Maybe this strengthens the power to opt for bigger and better things and maybe the big catastrophe can be averted after all. Maybe...who can tell?
