What is the Flow ? Part 7

Our conclusion from this research process is that flow is the ultimate
feedback machine. Flow responds directly to our beliefs, behaviors,
and actions. We can either enhance this state of perfect timing and
flawless serendipity, or we can diminish it and even cut it off. When
we become open, willing, trusting, we experience flow as fulfillment
and joy, and synchronicities pop up all over the place. When we become
fearful, doubting, controlling, flow diminishes, our day is filled
with blocks and frustrations, and synchronicities cease.

In this book, we have distilled the major beliefs, attitudes and
behaviors of the flowmasters into the nine attributes that engage
flow: commitment, honesty, courage, passion, immediacy, openness,
receptivity, positivity, and trust. We have offered fourteen practical
techniques for you to deepen those attributes in yourself; you'll find
them in chapters 7 through 11. We based the techniques on established
psychological and communication theories, and people in the focus
groups tried them out in their lives. Their enthusiastic feedback
assured us that, yes, we all have it within ourselves to expand into
meaning, lightness, and serenity. We don't have to be yogis chanting
mantras in icy Himalayan caves to live in this state of inner peace.
Because synchronicity is the key -and synchronicity occurs to
absolutely everyone, including you - we all have it within ourselves
to live in flow.

What is the Flow ? Part 6

The flowmasters did not have only one approach to life. Some were
feisty and engaged in changing the world; some were gentle and
relaxed; some had the exuberance of children; some had thoughtful,
deliberate ways. Looking back over our discussions, commonalities
emerged. The flowmasters were open; they stretched themselves to learn
and grow; they had deep integrity; they constantly felt steadfastly
grateful; and they were dedicated to living by their inner truths.
Being with them made us feel richer, and hours of engrossing
conversation passed like minutes.

Valuable information came from two other sources as well. In response
to magazine and newspaper articles, hundreds of people from all over
the country filled out surveys on their experiences and beliefs. And
we organized nine focus groups involving 98 people across the country
who hashed through the topics, processes, and techniques we'd learned
from the flowmasters. The flowmaster interviews, surveys, and group
discussions were transcribed and sorted by subject matter into 241
categories. When printed out - a 12-hour process - the reports filled
nearly 1,600 pages.

What is the Flow ? Part 5

Notice the words: it's when you experience flow - not if. That's
because the power of flow is absolutely attainable. To experience it
requires first of all that you choose to undertake that process. Then
you must develop the necessary skills, much as you do when you learn
to ride a bike: it takes focus to learn the basics and practice to
make it second nature - but once you know how to do it, you enjoy ease
and smoothness and elation. Flow is a lifelong process that is rich
with rewards all along the way, and this book shows you how to
undertake it.

To understand how flow works, we interviewed fifty "flowmasters" -
people highly engaged in the process of flow. They range in age from
seventeen to ninety-six and include lawyers, dancers, secretaries,
students, foundation heads, middle managers, therapists, professors,
consultants, homemakers, teachers, activists, health professionals, a
minister, a rancher, an inventor. We spent absorbing hours with them,
delving into why their lives have purpose, inner ease and joyfulness.
We asked them about their turning points, their beliefs, their daily
practices. We explored why life works so well for them, and what they
do day to day to experience flow consciously and consistently.

What is the Flow ? Part 4

This way of life requires paying attention to meaningful coincidence.
Caylor, for example, could have disregarded his dream and turned down
the Denver job. But over time he had developed a strong respect for
what he considers signs from the Universe, both subtle and
unmistakable. He has learned that by paying attention to these signs,
he reaches new levels of comprehension about his inner life and his
role in the world.

"Synchronicity is lyrical - a little sprite of a surprise, a little
gift," he says. "It can get so big that everything can start to talk
to you; everything can suggest things. When you enter that dimension,
synchronicity becomes part of your self-definition."

Think of the times synchronicity has happened in your life. It might
be when you thought of someone and the phone rang with that person on
the other end. Maybe you ran across someone from home in a faraway
place when you were feeling lonely, or the same number repeated itself
at significant times, or unlikely events dramatically converged to
save you in a tight spot.

When you experience flow on a daily basis, synchronicities such as
these are as natural to you as breathing. Although by its very nature,
synchronicity cannot be created, controlled, or planned, when you live
a life of flow, you can practically depend on synchronicity to show
up.

What is the Flow ? Part 3

Most of us have had experiences of being in flow. In those times, we
know we're in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.
We feel both exhilarated and at peace, somehow connected to something
larger and greater than ourselves. Life is rich with meaning, magic
and purpose. We feel vital, alive, joyful. But for most of us, it
doesn't happen often enough or for long enough. We feel glimmerings of
flow, and then they fade away.

This doesn't have to be the case: people like Caylor have learned to
make flow their way of life, the rule rather than the exception. The
way they do it is through synchronicity -- those meaningful
coincidences in which outside events, seemingly disconnected in time
and space, link up with our internal states and connect us with the
greater whole.

When synchronicity happens, people like Caylor follow the direction it
seems to indicate - and then they watch synchronicity happen more and
more. They know they are deeply in flow when synchronicity is sparking
all around them. By using synchronicity for guidance, confirmation,
and validation, their lives become a dance of energy with the
Universe, a give-and-take with their environment that fills their days
with insight and zest.

What is the Flow ? Part 2

Caylor wears no wings, sees no auras. But to him, life works in
magical and surprising ways when he's connected to a deeper force in
the Universe - and he knows he's connected because he feels it
physically, as a soft, warm feeling inside that links him to a sweet
expansiveness. When he's in that state, he experiences meaningful
coincidence after meaningful coincidence. "They add magic to my life,
and tell me that the action I'm taking is safe and true and right," he
says. And they point the way to new opportunities: "Although I loved
Austin, I was starting to feel bored and a little stuck professionally
and personally," he says now. "I thought that Denver might open the
way in my life to some Important changes."

Caylor lives in flow - and through it he has come into a fuller, truer
existence. Flow is the natural, effortless unfolding of our lives in a
way that moves us toward wholeness and harmony. When we are in flow,
occurences line up, events fall into place, and obstacles melt away.
Rather than life being a meaningless struggle, it is permeated with a
deep sense of purposefulness and order. Flow has tremendous power to
transform our lives, for it is dynamic and moves us unerringly toward
joy and aliveness.

What is Flow?

What is Flow?

Flow is the natural, effortless unfolding of our lives
in a way that moves us toward wholeness and harmony.

Introduction to "The Power of Flow"
by Charlene Belitz and Meg Lundstrom

Awakening one morning in his sunny Austin bedroom, Caylor Wadlington
heard himself saying out loud, "So I'm moving to Denver?" The words
were part exclamation, part question, and they woke him up completely.
As surprised as he was, he also experienced a happy, pleasurable
feeling. But by the next day, he had dismissed the whole thing as just
an odd dream. After all, he was cozily ensconced in Austin, where he
had lived eight years, and he knew hardly a soul in Denver.

Then, out of the blue came a phone call from an officer of his
national professional association, who invited Caylor to participate
in a week-long work meeting - in Denver. Hmmm. . . .maybe there is
something to this, Caylor thought, and without further hesitation he
said yes.

In Denver, after the meeting ended, Caylor was chatting with another
participant, a man who ran a school in the city. "Caylor, if you ever
want to live here, I'd like to hire you to teach for me," he said.
Caylor thanked him calmly, but inside he was stunned: This is amazing!
Walls are coming down to open the way for me to move here!

To leave Austin, however, would require selling a professional
business that was so specialized he figured it would take at least a
year to find a buyer. Quietly beginning to look around, Caylor invited
a friend to Sunday brunch and, over coffee and pastries, laid out the
prospect. His friend was not interested, but just as he said no, a
colleague of theirs walked in. Caylor had not thought of him as a
buyer, but struck by the timing, he told him his business was for
sale. The colleague was more than interested - he was thrilled.
"Don't tell another soul!" he said excitedly. "I definitely want it."
This seems to be happening all by itself, mused Caylor. Then he
received a letter from his landlord: Caylor's condominium was going to
be put on the market. A dream, an opportunity, an offer, the boot -
the message was unmistakable. Caylor willingly closed down his life in
charming Austin, and moved to Denver.

The spiritual substance from which comes all visible wealth is

The spiritual substance from which comes all visible wealth is
never depleted. It is right with you all the time and responds
to your faith in it and your demands on it.

It is not affected by our ignorant talk of hard times, though we
are affected because our thoughts and words govern our
demonstration.

The unfailing resource is always ready to give. It has no choice
in the matter; it must give, for that is its nature.

Pour your living words of faith into the omnipresent substance,
and you will be prospered though all the banks in the world
close their doors.

Turn the great energy of your thinking toward "plenty" ideas,
and you will have plenty, regardless of what men and woman
around you are saying or doing."

The Law of Attraction, Part 12

So if your thoughts have been more towards the 'not having' of the
thing you want, then that is what you will get. If your thoughts have
been more towards the 'having' side of what you want, then that is
what you will get. Each circumstance in your life accurately reflects
the balance of your thinking. It cannot be any other way, for without
this accurate command of Life Force Energy, you would not have free
will. And as you are a being of free will, the very creative powers
that you assign to God are at your fingertips. It is merely a question
of adjusting the balance of your thinking towards the 'having' of what
you want and you will have it. As you think more and more in terms of
having, you will tip the balance of your energy into the 'having'
state, and away from the 'not having' or lacking state.

As this happens, the Law of Attraction begins to work for you
repeatedly. As you arrive at a greater state of 'having', you will
begin to attract more of this experience to yourself, and the more you
attract, the more you will attract, and so on and so on, until you
move away from the experience of scarcity altogether. You then begin
to realize through your experience that you are indeed God, that you
are indeed creator, and that you do indeed have the command of the
Universe at your fingertips, and that nothing can stop you from having
what you want except your very own thoughts on the subject. As you
think, so it is. It cannot be any other way; it is law.

The Law of Attraction, Part 11

The main reason, in fact, just about the only reason that your desires
do not manifest instantly when you want them to, even as you think
about them, is because of the other thoughts you are also offering. It
all comes down to the balance of your thinking. The Life Force Energy
cannot do anything but follow the thoughts you are having. Offer a
thought concerning the lack of money, and that is what you will get.
Offer a thought concerning an abundance of money, and that is what you
will get. The same applies to love, health, and every aspect of your
life. So when you look at your life and you see a lack of love or
experience a lack of money or experience a lack of health, it has been
the balance of your thinking concerning those subjects that has
created the current circumstances. If it is love that you want more
of, then your life will reflect that want accurately and
proportionately according to the balance of your thinking.

The Law of Attraction, Part 10

On the Earth plane, because matter is dense, and the vibrational rate
of energy is somewhat slower, you experience that things come to you
in a way that seems delayed. Most people, just as they have launched a
new thought about what they want, within a few days begin to think
about something different. The Universe responds to you instantly,
yes, instantly, and as you think about what you want, it begins to
immediately bring it to you. However, it seems that the majority of
you change your mind on a regular basis, so the Universe receives as
many order cancellations as it does orders!

The Law of Attraction, Part 9

Without this neutral response from the Universe you would not have
true free will. So which is it? Do you have free will or do you not?
It cannot be both. You cannot be both the creator of your destiny and
simultaneously subject to the will of another. The one defies the
other. Free will is the basis upon which there is growth, evolution,
and experience in the Universe. Without it, all future would be
predetermined and every soul would merely be a puppet in a grand
theatre. It is our intention to help you know that you may have what
you want, and do what you want, and be who you want to be. You have
extended yourself into physical reality not to prove yourself worthy
of a higher authority, but to add to your uniqueness and beingness
through the experience of creating in this reality.

The Law of Attraction, Part 8

So when you do your thinking and imagining, align your thinking in
accordance with what you want to draw into your life. If you focus on
the lack of anything, anything at all, you will get it. If you fear
ill health, you will attract ill health. If you fear loneliness, you
will attract loneliness. The Universe is not only totally equitable,
it does not judge or make decisions on your behalf. You are in charge,
you are the boss, the king pin, the ruler of your own experience, and
the Universe cannot, and will not, do anything contrary to that
unalterable fact.

Different Manifesting for the Easter Weekend

Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Matthew 21:21
21Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Mark 5:34
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Luke 8:25
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
Luke 12:28
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

The Law of Attraction, Part 7

Money is a great example to illustrate this point.
With modern banking and computers, you calculate the amount of your money and your
experience in having money in more ways than just the amount of
currency notes and coins in your wallet. Your money has largely become
a set of figures. Your employers transfer money directly into your
bank account or your clients give you a cheque. All these things are
still money, but not the currency itself, they are simply things that
represent the currency. When you receive your bank statement, it can
come in two forms; it can have a positive balance or a negative
balance.
If you have a negative balance and you now owe the bank
$1,000, it is still money, is it not? You simply have a balance of
'not $1,000'. This example makes it easier to grasp this universal
experience, because most of you see an empty wallet as simply being
empty; "there is no money." But having a bank account 'in the red'
illustrates that not only does money exist, but 'no money' exists as
well, and that both things are still money.

The Law of Attraction, Part 6

The Universe does not judge
whether or not what you want is good or bad; it sI'm ly is, and it
responds to your every thought, to your every whim. This life force
energy does not understand the difference between 'want' and 'don't
want'. It only follows and supports thought. Energy follows thought,
not the other way around. So as your thoughts are focused on what you
fear, or things you do not want, or are displeasing to you, the ever
faithful life force energy of the Universe, that very same energy that
creates worlds, accurately follows your thoughts to bring into your
experience that to which you have directed your attention.
Understanding this, you will begin to see that each thing you can
think of is rather like a coin. It has two sides. On the one side you
have the having of the thing, and on the other side you have the not
having of the thing. As far as Life Force Energy is concerned, there
is no difference between having cancer and not having cancer. There is
no difference between having money and not having money, love and not
love, etc.

Monday, April 2, 2007

The Law of Attraction, Part 5

To understand this law more fully, you need to understand that the
creative energy that is at your infinite disposal is completely
neutral. We have said that you are the physical extension of a
non-physical being, and that being, rather than being a raindrop that
has sprung forth from the rain cloud of God, is an extension of
All-That-Is that has projected itself into physical reality. As this
extension, you are tapped into the unlimited source of life force
energy, the same energy that created the physical Universe in which
you have placed yourself, the same energy that is used to create all
that you see in your reality. This energy could not be anything other
than neutral because it allows itself to be formed and molded by your
thoughts. As this energy is neutral and because it is molded by your
thoughts, it does not know the difference between what you want and
what you do not want. Because you have been given free will and you
exist in a Universe of free will and choice, this energy, which is the
All-That-Is, can only, and will only, be formed by what you are
thinking. So when you want to attract something into your life and you
do nothing but think of the lack of that thing, then the Universe can
do nothing but bring you more of what you are thinking, more lack of
the very thing that you say that you want.

The Law of Attraction, Part 4


Thoughts are energy, and like all energy, attract similar energies
unto themselves. This is the principle of resonance. That which you
think of has a corresponding resonance, or energy match, with many
objects and circumstances. As the entire Universe is energy, including
the matter that makes up this book, this principle applies to
circumstances, material objects, and people. Your unique way of
viewing the world will affect the way in which you experience it as
well as affecting the things and people that manifest in your life.
For example, if you consider money to be a great source of freedom and
you feel very free to express yourself, free to be who you are, then
you will automatically draw more money into your experience because
there is a vibrational match between the object, in this case money,
and what you think and believe.
