[quote=DCS82]Awesomesauce, Keep in mind this is MY interpretation of this...but follow me for a sec: The goal in manifesting anything is to be happy. This is because, well, you want something that you believe will make you feel good. Now, the books are all about empowerment and confidence. The statement you are talking about is in the Burn with Desire book. The "long" method in that book, Lanie mentions that you should use it when you "really want someone." Now, the LOA is about vibrations. The attracting vibration you seek, the one that draws things to you is a happy, having vibration. That's the vibration you have when you are 100% happy, smiling, have no cares in the world and don't NEED anything coming to you. You don't need it because you are projecting the feeling of HAVING it already. So...it comes to you by default. Does that make sense? If you are having trouble getting movement, are tired, looking for results and obsessing over it...you are emitting a NEED vibration. Needing and wanting something put it in the future. You are living in the vibe of wanting and wishing for it. The step after asking for something is receiving it. If you live as if you already have it, you'll learn to harness those feelings and begin to focus elsewhere. Finally, I believe that statement was put in the book because there are generally two types of approaching manifesting: the "act as if" and the "completely letting go" way. Now, the universe doesn't forget what you want, but it does react based on your dominant vibration. So, if you can get into that happy space and enjoy living as if, visualizing them with you all the time and generally don't need or want to worry about it anymore, then you are in the right headspace for what you are looking for to manifest. If you are stressing over it, Lanie suggests "maybe it's not meant" so that you'll let go of working on this goal (for now), and focus elsewhere to get into that happy place. Once you are IN that happy place, you are emitting the vibration of having what you want...so the universe delivers. See? The common theme is confidence and happiness. In order for this to work fast, relax, trust, have faith and make the process fun! It's like a game, so enjoy it! If it feels like work or if there is stress involved, focus elsewhere, just for a little bit. There are tons of stories out there where people had decided to just give up completely and focus on themselves. That's when their person came back! Because they let go of that need and got happy. Lanie would need to address exactly the reasoning behind it, but this is just my interpretation. Just be happy and joyful, and do that by any means necessary. When you enjoy life, the things you want will find their way to you :) -Dan[/quote]
