I like your post Pauline Maria! So many folks that are wise to ways of our emotions and how they signify what we are creating..just hanging out to chat up deliberate creation and growing into our own power. LOVE PI! SET UP TO SUCCEED!

Thank you Patra. This is certainly a hot topic and so many people are living with such a reality....some of us are breaking free to see things from a positive perspective that is more true reality. Conditioning can be so damaging...but on saying that also the stepping stone to make us realise who we really are and what is truly important in life. *smile*.

It's about resistance and allowing. I think the media and mass marketing have influenced us to believe that "shit happens" instead of "DESIRES happen." Most react to what we see/hear around us instead of believing and creating what we want.

I "ditto" what others have said - focus on what you WANT and become a deliberate creator.

DESIRES HAPPEN!
My new watch-phrase!

“It’s easier to swim down river with the current than to swim up against the current.”

Use the negatives in a positive way. Cars come with negative indicators, they let you know when your gas is running low, or the battery is not charging, or the engine is over heating, etc. They are telling you that something needs some corrective action. which a person normally does have done to correct the problem.

The negative indicators on the dash are also showing you what you do not want. These negative indicators are there ... but when driving you do not continuously keep looking at them. You only glance at them now and then....and keep your mind on the goal of where you want to go. Negatives are to be recognized for what they are ...something undesirable..something we don’t want, something that does not bring us happiness.

So keep your focus on what you want. not what others say to you or tell you about what they have experienced in life ,and then proceed to tell you that will also be your experience..
Let certain statements that others say to you roll off you like water off of a ducks back...besides what they say is only their opinion ...and not written in stone.

Onr more thing, if a person does not have a good self image of themselves,,,or has low esteem,...then any negative statements will be absorbed by them to reinforce that self image..

Saturate yourself in positive thoughts and turn every negative into a positive affirmation.

There are good answers here, already, but I wanted to say that I've been looking it over carefully, too, and I think for myself, the negatives are powerful because of fear and dread! It helps that bad things seem soooo much more believable and "bound to happen" than positives! There are apparently more people out there believing in the bad things being "real life" than those of us who believe that light overcomes darkness, and darkness will never overcome light!

Yet, people we respect or people who seem to "know what they're talking about" can bring us down, and make us forget the important truths....

I think this is a matter of retraining the mind's grooves, patiently and persistently bringing a positive view to everything!

Good question, by the way~

You ask and state:

" why is the negative easier to manifest????" as if this is a Universal truth when, in fact, it is just your own belief.

For many people, including myself, manifesting what is desired is the norm and easier!

This is totally about personal belief, habit and focus and you can change it .

Have you read Abraham-Hicks?

Oh wow!!! Im in Australia so you guys are all up while im sleeping and when i checked this convo last night before bed I thought no-one was interested.... but wow!! thanks EVERYONE who answered I really do appreciate all of you and this wonderful forum.

Yes I have been reading Abraham-hicks, just finished ask & it is given and I should have mentioned in my first post that the experiences that i was writing about were BLOA (before law of attraction) but I guess my vibration yesterday was alittle lacking and it just happened that this line of thinking came into my head and I decided to see what you all thought about it.

Im interested in what you said Phyllis, "easier to recieve the negative" I think you hit the nail on the head. If you are vibrating in that particular experience of negative thought then of cause it would be easier to 'recieve' the negative. Now that I deliberatly have a "rampage of appreciation" I KNOW that only good things are coming my way, and noone elses negative outlook or experience can enter my 'happy place' :0)

Hope all you wonderful people are sleeping blissfully on the other side of the world

There are also many people who have grown up in negative environments, and accepted as the truth what they are/were told by those in authority .or “supposedly in the know.”Much of the negativity I think stems from the generation that was affected by the “great depression” where much of the negativity was passed down. Like “don’t take chances with your money”.”you have to work hard to get ahead” “save your money or you will lose it ”“play it safe”etc. one could go on and on with negative statements that were passed on by well meaning family members
and others.

No one sits down and deliberately, with malice aforethought, decides to develop negative traits just to be perverse. And they do not just happen .Nor do they mean we are in some way imperfect. Usually negatives were adopted as a way to solve a difficulty or a problem. We adopt them as a “way out” of some difficulty. On that basis they have meaning and purpose, to us, although based on a mistaken premise. In that they become a way of life for us. No one is immune from negative attitudes, even successful people get negative from time to time. Once you become aware of these negative failure symptoms, and thru understanding that do not work, the truth shall set you free. A good way is to immerse yourself in good reading to develop new ways of thinking. Develop a positive way of speaking about everything. starting with ones self...

Interesting comments here by all. I am grateful to be able to read what others have to say and to share my thoughts ,and hope that there is always something that may be of help to others. .

As I see it, it is a conditioned state of perception ... civilization, as we call it, has taken the lions share of our conscious activity (IF WE LET THEM). We are condition through fear from birth ... We are programmed by thoughts of limitation and suffering ... The conditioners first convince us that we are lacking, and then that they alone can lead us into a better life. Religion tells us that we are damaged and only through their saviors, can we be saved. Government tells us we are at risk from outside forces and only they can protect us. Corporations tell us we are out of touch and only their products will connect us. Doctors tell us that disease will claim us and only their inoculations will save us. Everything they are trying to "sell" us is one big LIE. Let me guess, when things don't go the way you would like you ask yourself "What am I doing Wrong?" This will only invoke the Universal to bring you "MORE" of what you are doing wrong. Stop the madness ... Instead ask yourself "What am I doing RIGHT?" ... "Why is my Life so AWESOME?" ... "Thank You for my perfect experiences." Love who you are, for who you are is perfect. Know that it has worked out perfectly ... Already. All time is "Now". Nothing is distant from you ... only the perception you have been convinced to accept is ever in the distance ... Let it go. Detach yourself from the tease, and Live the Moment. The Moment IS YOU.

We are all physical expressions, mental processes, and most importantly, Spiritual beings; each one of us is a unique individualization or reflection of the ONE Universal Mind. We are, each of us, absolutely perfect right here and right now.

Yes I agree with you Victor, about being conditioned by the “powers that be.”Then we see everything thru that conditioned lens of perception. When I first heard about these principles coming out as The Secret I thought many would not be able to “ get it.”for the way most people are conditioned...and also .since most of the information in the secret has been around for a very long time, such as “The Magic of Believing” and “The Magic of Thinking Big.”as well as many ,many more. I was going by my experience in which the first book I read was Think and Grow Rich but because of my upbringing I thought no, it can’t be that easy. it went against most of what I was taught to believe. So I stopped reading it. But I kept thinking about it and did apply some of what I read anyway, because I always thought that things can’t be as hard as people say it is...there as to be an easier way. It took me some time to get used to thinking in a different way and questioned my beliefs.,and what others said you can’t do...Oh really? I would think.

At the time I wanted a better job. making more money. So I wrote what I wanted as suggested in T&GR and read it each morning and night before going to bed and I would say within 6 months I got that better job. In fact it was from a company that I had put in an application 4 years earlier..out of the blue you might say as I was called in for an interview..A company I had completely forgot that I had applied there.

I am happy to see that this information in The Secret has come out in the way that it did. and see that it has become widely known now as it has.

There is a bookcalled "Breaking the Rules" by Kurt wright whch says that you should ask what's right.and not what.s wrong.when you confront a problem.
There is a comment by Joe Vitale on Amazon about it.

Abother excellent book to read is Matrix energetics.By Dr.Richard Bartlett,,more about healing and quantum physics,where he has a chapter which he says we have to get out of the "problem-set" thinking and more into "solution -set" thinking...and think outside of the consensus thinking.A truly amazing book..

It's not because we share our first name, but Victor, you are so RIGHT ;). You gave words to my thoughts. Thank you.
Moss, I think the key question in Victor's contribution is: What am I doing Wrong? You ask: Why is the negative easier to manifest? Is it? Is it really? Is it your belief ...?
What I've learned - also from this little discussion, for which I am grateful to all contributors - is to be even more aware and conscious of my every day thoughts, for they create my reality - intentionally when I'm aware and - this is my learning - unintentionally when I'm unaware.

Great topic and great to get this lesson again.

I love Arlesx's image of the negative indicators on a car and the idea that negative indicators are good news as they help us to remember to "fill up" with petrol/energy.

I think that we have a natural preponderance for negative, we have to have it as we have to create contrasts here on Earth. Heaven is only GOOD and LOVE no contrasts, but to live and enjoy this physical world we have to have contrasts, that is what we came here to experience. I dont think anyone could experience anything of quality here if they only experienced positivity.

So I think we need to rejoice in our Negativity and like Arlesx, just see it as a tool, a very useful tool that indicates when we are going empty and need to stock up on our Positivity.

We dont have to accept what people around us say about stretch marks in pregnancy or getting sick or having to work hard to earn money, we just listen and see if we are depleted in the energy to turn away from thise indicators of lack, find a source of positive energy, fill up and go on our way smiling, with no stretch marks, no sickness, and money flowing our way with ease. !!

Ps Off topic I know but have you read Dr Brenda Davis, Journy of the Soul, she talks about morning sickness, not as sickness, but the soul of the baby vibrating at a very high level, trying to visit the forming physical baby in the womb which is a lower vibration ....so do a bit of spiritual work, vibrate as high as you can and you wont even feel the little criture checking in and out of your little foetus !! Sorry just thought that was so beautiful. She has filmed the aura of the visiting baby's soul approaching the mother ...ahh, the soul enters fully at birth, but even after birth it often goes in and out causing the baby to wake and cry, until the soul and the body vibrate at the same level then it all settles down ...ahhh again Sorry, my babies are now 14 and 15 but it still does that to me ....ahhh
