I am feeling rather perplexed and confused at present. Possibly you can enlighten me or shed some light on my questions.

When I started SOGR (in May I think) I was very aware of principles similar to SOGR but Wattles really makes it clear and that delighted me as I knew it would work this time. So I have religiously followed each days work and slowed down as you had suggested to me earlier on, which was a great idea and accurate. Since then I continue to do each step each day ( and I have a Gratitude Book as well). Then in September I went to Europe for an interview was thrilled and delighted. Came back to the US and checked the company out and ZAP what a shock- it has major financial problems. So, needless to say it was not for me as it must be to the highest good for all. Since then it has been sloooooooow indeed. I still keep acting on job leads and other ideas as they come up keeping in mind "The Shocking Truth About Action" - (Which is great by the way) but still nothing.
Any insights Rebecca? Is there something I am missing, not doing, doing whatever?!

What is "The shocking Truth about Action" ?
Is this a book?

Mr. Palmer I Know you asked this question to Rebbeca, but in the mean time all give you my answer if you don’t mind.
And I hope it will help with your problem.
I see a lot of posts like yours in the forum, disappointed that things are not happening right away.
And this could be for several reasons, but I am willing to bet is some type of subconscious self sabotage (very common in all of us).
Perhaps you are doing all the motions in getting this "Job" but inside you have that voice that is saying no or I am not good enough etc, you need to observe your self if this is the case and erase it.
Remember you are in life were you are because of your thoughts and feelings!
The other factor is perhaps you are not adding feeling to it (that’s what it will impress the formless) live and act as you already have this "job", keep quiet about it (talking only disperses energy) be persistence and have patience.
And if you can’t see why you are failing ask your inner self, over and over and you will eventually get the answer, he is the only one that can truly answer your question.
I wish you good luck.

For Bill "The shocking Truth about action" is a brilliant piece Rebecca shared with everyone in the between issue.

As for LOBO you completely misunderstood what I was asking so I will leave it at that.

LOBO, thank you for your post. I think that the 'feeling' part is something that many of us perhaps need to work on, so thanks for the reminder.

Dear NPP,

There are two distinct parts to the creation process. The first part, of course, is to ask. The second part is to be ready to receive. And that is wherein the bugaboo lies for many of us.

To be ready to receive something, you have to be vibrationally in tune with it, and to be vibrationally in tune, you have to actually BE the thing you are wanting. You do that by imagining.

So you want a job and you send the request out to the Universe and before you can snap your fingers twice, you're invited to an interview for a wonderful new job. And, of course, you're hired. Elation to the max!

You're imagining how wonderful this new job will be, seeing yourself filling your new position completely, doing phenomenal work, appreciated by all the change of command from your immediate supervisors all the way up to the board of directors. No one has ever loved a job more than you love this one, you imagine, and no one has ever been better at it. Your dreams have been realized. You are vibrationally in tune. This SOGR stuff rocks!

Then a little voice that you're not even consciously aware of starts whispering in your inner ear. "This is just too good to be true," the inner voice says. Still sending out good vibes, you pay no attention to the voice for awhile, but it keeps on whispering and before too much longer another thought arises that says "Maybe I should check this new company out. I don't want any surprises later on. It's always best to be cautious."

Uh-oh. The vibration just changed. You didn't even notice it, but the Universe did. The minute your inner voice began talking about checking out trouble and you fell into agreement, the Universe heard "trouble" and said, "Oh, boy, we've got to change his order. Now he wants trouble."

So, per the request you made but weren't even consciously aware of making, the Universe sent a bad report about the company that had just hired you. Trouble with a capital T. Now, very consciously aware of the T word, you began thinking of it more and more, and with every new thought, your vibration got a little stronger. "He's asking for more trouble!" The Universe declared. "Send him what he wants."

Your current job slowed to a standstill. Now you've got real TROUBLE. Just like your vibration indicated you wanted.

The thing you must always remember, NPP, is that whatever you give your attention to determines your vibration. And the more emotionally attached your are to whatever your attention is focused on, the stronger the vibration.

I would hazard a guess that when you first learned of the financial difficulties of the company you interviewed for, you got a knot in the pit of your stomach the size of Chicago. Red flags popped up everywhere. Now that's emotion. And it attached itself to your vibration big time. So well, in fact, that at that moment the vibrations you began sending out were strong enough to be picked up by neighboring universes. So Source did what it always does. It responded appropriately.

If, instead, your immediate thought had been "Oh, now I know they NEED me. I am going to be the catalyst that puts this company back on strong footing! Not only are they helping me but I am helping them. What could possibly be better than that?!" Your vibration would have been just as strong, but the message picked up by the Universe would have been to maintain your newly established status quo: "Send on the new job and move forward with the wonderful trouble-free life changes he's requesting. He's chomping at the bit to get started."

When you have things happening in your life that are not pleasing to you, it just means your dominant vibrations are drawing those things to you. By standing guard over your thoughts you have the ability to easily and swiftly change the vibration, and when you do, what you want will fall into place. It's the law.

And never forget, NPP, when you allow Source to be in control, everything works out for the highest good of all concerned. Everything.

So stop worrying. Your creative abilities are alive and well and doing fine. What's going on right now is proof of it. So just relax, trust and watch those vibes.

Hope this helps,

Blessings,

Kate

Kate I just want to tell you that you are truly wonderful and you make me SING with gratitude. I've realised why up til now I've had so much trouble with 'taking action'. Up til now I just didn't believe that anyone would want to give me anything at all. I'm giving myself time to lie down and have a rest, and just think nice thoughts for a while.

Thank you so much

Hello kate!
Yessssss!
You are right.
And how about fun?

Hi, N.Powell-Palmer, do you see what you are writing: "perplexed and confused at present"
I assume that you are not having fun when you continue to do each step each day.

Are you doing this in order to get what you want? Are you doing it because you need something?
Are you doing it because you want to feel good and have fun?

Make a list of all the things you love. Talk alloud about what you love. Think about the things you love. Imagine this things you love!
Do you feel good?
Of course you are feeling good! Are you smiling?
When you feel good you are Reconected to the Source and the miracles happen.

We focus on what we want in order to feel good, isn'it?

Thank you Oliveiros for the link. Thanks also to NPP.

Kate what you said is brilliant! I needed this at present. Isn't it great how the universe gives us exactly what we need when we need it!

THANK YOU!

OK, N, here's my response (I was away for my birthday so am just reading this now).

First, it appears to me that you are feeling that something is wrong, but I don't see that anything is. I took a look at other replies here and found that Kate also saw the situation with the company's major financial problems pretty much the way I see it.

OK, so they have problems. That's not bad. That's just INFORMATION. It could be, as Kate said, an indication that they really do need you and your skills. Or it could be a wonderful warning to you not to just jump right in because something better is on its way to you.

Only YOUR intuitive wisdom can tell you which it is (or if it's something else altogether).

Also, I don't understand your statement: "Needless to say it was not for me as it must be to the highest good for all."

Your perception that things are slow is also merely that -- a perception. They may be moving very quickly indeed when seen from a different vantage point.

So basically I think that if I were in your shoes I'd shoot for gratitude right now, right here -- and keep on going, the way the man in Chapter 16 did when his "business combination" fell through and he soon saw that something much better came in to fill up that space.

Rebecca and Kate's replies are wonderful and I hope you feel newly inspired by them. as I do.

Just thought I'd add something from my own experience. Over 30 years ago I wanted to train as an advertising copywriter. I loved the agency I was working for but the head had told me that he wasn't interested in training any female writers (in those days people readily admitted such things). So, without knowing anything about SOGR or like minded thinking, I went in search of the perfect opportunity. I knew I HAD to write. I soon had an interview at another agency and was hired to work as a secretary - to be trained as a writer. I agreed to take a salary cut too.

When I resigned from the job I had, everyone was shocked, pointing out that the other company had just lost major business and had put off about 50 people. I was young and had no idea and panicked. However I was very lucky to receive some wise advice from a former boss.

He asked me how I'd felt at the interview. How I'd felt about the job itself, their promise to train me and how I'd felt about the people. I told him that everything had felt totally perfect and that even working for less money hadn't bothered me. So he told me to trust my own feelings and ignore everyone's advice. I did, and the job proved to every bit as great as I'd expected (with appropriate salary increases). Another bonus was that I made life long friends in that job - people I may not have otherwise met. To this day I often think of that sound advice and when in doubt, trust how I feel.

And I'm often reminded of the importance of "feelings" when I read Phil's posts.

Hope this helps.

Wilx,

Yes my friend! Very good post! You remind me of myself a few years ago, however in a differen way. I used to hate to feel, and I mean that. I tried everything I could to not feel as I started to think that they were getting in my way of what I really wanted. I wanted to be happy, and all I really felt was sadness. So I blocked my feelings for so long but in the end, there was no way I could avoid them. Now I know that however I desire to feel, is up to myself, and myself alone. However I choose to think is up to myself, and myself alone. Many think I'm nuts for claiming to be a billionare with his own record company and a band that will play arena across the globe. Well, they may think as they wish as they are entitled to, but I know what I'm receiving and that's everything I desire. One way or another, I will create my path and the Universe will help me, I know this! This is how I've always worked since birth, and I thank music a lot as the type of music I listen to is the music many put down (fast, heavy, hard, energetic and to myself very positive).

In my world, these people (musicians) have helped me immensely. They've always said do what you want, stand for yourself, be yourself, never let anyone tell you what you can do. You know what's right for you, and this is what the SOGR is about too. As of this day, I still continue to do what I desire and I will receive all that I desire, this I know for sure!

Thanks for your post Wilx. Success to you all my friends!

Do you want to say that whole company with all emploees (who are, let's say positive and happy) depends of his negative thinking?

Dear Muadib,

You might want to read it again, Muadib. I did not say the company experienced trouble, I said
"the Universe sent a bad report." World of difference there. The report could have been rumor, inuendo, or simply worded in a way that was miscontrued by NPP in a moment of angst.

Hope this clears it up for you.

Blessings,

Kate

Deep breath, Kate.

Without irritants, there would be no pearls.

Laurie

Dear Laurie,

Thank you. You have given me yet one more reason to appreciate our Muadib. He is our resident maker of fine pearls. What a blessing that one!

Hugs and Blessings, all
(You, too, Muadib)

Ah, a pearl maker with a sense of humor! The appreciation list just keeps growing.

candlekate,

Ah yes, I too now express my deep and profound gratitude for my friend Maudib. I may not always agree with Maudib, but that's the beauty of the Universe! Adversity rocks, and I learn more and more everyday!

Cheers to you Maudib, cheers my friend!
