One further thing, in relation to Skyfloating's observation that there appears to be a "time lag" in creation.
It occurred to me that the time lag is NOT a fixed necessity. It couldnt be, assuming time is a creation of Mind and not reflective of "absolute Truth," however you might define that.

I would like to see what this creation looks like in writing.
I had a job interview last thursday and I will hear the results tomorrow. So I put together a little creation in writing. Here it goes:
I work for (fill in the blank) as a designer and I make (fill in the blank) a year. I am so relieved that I can pay off my college loans, and also have enough money to build a self sustaining plantation that will grow food for my family and friends.
Looking for some pointers here.

One million "Thank-yous"!!!! I appreciate your response; I cannot wait until I no longer feel the need for validation; I belived I was on the right path, now I KNOW so.
"Rock Star Parking".... no-brainer from Day One...years for me.
"Checks in the Mail instead of Bills"... Ditto...about three years now. Oh, I get bills, but they are what I expect, NOT what I cannot or do not own and wish for.
Just for Skyfloating: "Car Dent Story".... about three weeks ago ( I dunno... it never happend for ME...lol), I slid, slo-mo, into a snowbank... DH says I cracked my front bumper all the way thru.... I deliberately, with "malice aforethought" (joke), didn't bother looking at it... until this afternoon....NO crack, NO damage... 'coz for ME, it Never happened...DH thinks he's out of HIS mind...I am smiling from ear to ear as I type...! He's thinking it never happened either!

Its not a necessity at all, thats right. We make things up as we go along, and presuming a time-lag is a made-up truth so that the mind may be more able to disgest infinity.

The benefits of time-lag are much more important than the so-called "blocks" or the so-called "problem" of time. If there were no time-buffer, any nonsense-thought would manifest immediatly.

But the true LOA-Practitioner is not concerned with the when (time), how, where...not concerned with "outside manifestation" but only inner manifestation. Why? Because there is no "out there". The mirror will only smile if you smile first, so becoming dependent on "out there" results wont do in this kind of source-ery.

I see the most advanced practitioners invent/make up the truth as they go along. In that last post I could have invented (created) the truth that Wicca is no good for LOA, or I could have invented (created) the truth that Wicca is good for LOA. Or I could have chosen millions of other thoughts. I chose to create the truth that Wicca is just fine. I hesitate to even write stuff like this because it questions the principles our entire civilization is based on. So Im gonna stop now.

Lately I have been considering that all the conflict in the world, war, violence, etc., all of that is our mirror. Not just my immediate life. And that looking in the face of "another" is actually just examining your own face from a slightly different angle. The external state of the world reflects all of our deepest internal fears, feelings. I know that lots of people cannot see this about themselves, they feel they ARE perfectly enlightened, realized, etc., and if only "everyone else" would get there too, the world would be a heaven on Earth. I just have had a recurring thought, that has been just haunting me.
"What if it only takes one in Oneness." Not, any special "one" like a Messiah, or a Saviour, but anyone at all. A goat herder, a garbage man, a CEO. What if that idea itself, of an "outside Saviour" is part of the problem? Or if you fancy yourself "nice" what if the idea of "helping others" instead of as you put it, "smiling first." What if the very belief in "other" or "outsideness" or "division itself" is the generator of all of the fear, violence, and conflict in the world? And what if every single one of us, no matter how we TALK about oneness, preach it, exalt it, what if on the most fundamental level we are all taken in by separateness? All of us. No exceptions. (Because in Oneness there is no possibility of an "exception)
And if that were the case, why wouldnt it also be the case, that if any "one" of us really REAL-ized that, the Whole would change. Everything in the mirror of the world. I know some would say, "well the Buddha, and Jesus, it didnt happen with them," and blasphemous as it is, I wonder if perhaps even in them it were not complete. The Buddha for instance, reportedly had to be convinced by a female relative to allow women to become monks. That doesnt sound to me as if a complete dissolution of separateness had occurred. But a high level partial one. I suspect, that the Great Ones that have come before have been evolutionary steps, each one moving us in that direction, some in great leaps, but I suspect none of us has ever really Awakened.
Anyway. I just wanted to throw this out. It has been just haunting me as a concept, and the "pressure" of it has been increasing. And I cant think of a better place, or better minds to toss it to.

Reality is truly what YOU make it, it's not about being a generous, "good" person (although I suppose that would be the "right" thing to do); no, it's about Intent, Creation, and Being. There is no "good" or "bad"; that's up to individual interpretation.

It really seems to me that creation happens from the stillness of Self, and people use different ways of bypassing mind to access it, someone mentioned mediation, you mention "release," I think this "shifting of gears" from mind to Self is THE secret, in the sense that only there can you create. Self doesnt perceive time. It doesnt need it to make infinity palatable. It exists in an ever present NOW, that is infinite. To "play the game of Life" as we have defined the rules of that game, and operate within Ego or Mind created artificial structures like "jobs" and "cities", there is some benefit to using time, memory, mind. I just am really questioning if that needs to be the case. If we, if we really did identify with Self, rather than self, if any of that is necessarily so.
I couldnt agree more. The mirror is one of my favorite analogies. Although for me, the mirror of "outside results" is often the only way to know what my "face" looks like. Denial is called denial for a reason. What we choose to hide from ourselves is often truly hidden from the minds eye. So in that regard, I do concern myself with "outside manifestation" as it IS reflecting to me conflicts within my Self. I use what is manifesting as an indication where something internally is blocked, is stuck, or mistaken.

BTW, if it seems that I dont respond to this thread for many days, thats because I wait till Im in a certain "LOA-Mood" before I write here.
