We do the work; we expect immediate results. When we pray, we want our prayers to be quickly answered. When we finish writing a book, we expect to receive an offer from a publisher. Before we finish a painting, we want a commission for it. When we complete a sales presentation, we hold our hand out for the money. Is it normal to be so impatient? Yes! We live in a spiritual age . . . devoted to the manifestation of the spiritual into the physical . . . and impatience is the feeling you're supposed to have when you're ready to manifest. For example, a few months ago I submitted an article to a magazine editor and -- two hours later -- felt impatient. I knew that the editor hadn't had enough time to look over my work, but that didn't matter. I wanted my results!
With this issue of Mindzine, you're going to learn how to use impatience to manifest your results. Here's what will happen:
1) You'll shorten the amount of time you need to wait for results
2) You'll stop feeling guilty about impatience
First, let's make a list of words that describe our expectations. When we feel impatient, we'd like to . . .
Manifest
Show
Demonstrate
Display
Finish
Complete
Effect
Accomplish
Fulfill
Achieve
We'd like to have our . . .
Results
Benefit
Gain
Return
Profit
Fruit
Reward
Prize
Now, we're ready to go after our results! For this task, we're going to use a new mind-body-spirit tool called the Dictionary Game. The Dictionary Game* enables you to focus long enough on your expectations . . . for them to manifest. With enough focus, the feelings behind your wishes are activated. Once your feelings are activated, your expectations are able to attract other expectations like them . . . until they form a mass. When a mass is formed . . . it becomes visible in our physical world. That's the goal of all mind-body-spirit work . . . to make our thoughts, wishes, expectations, and prayers visible . . . and the Dictionary Game enables you to accomplish it.
