This is the question I’m asking Yeoshua and Mary Magdalene: I’ve asked before about manifestation and you said that it’s better to ask to manifest happiness rather than a car. I understand that. But here’s my question. If this world is like the movie, The Matrix, and I can manifest anything and do anything and become anything and the potential and possibilities are infinite, then why can’t I be at my desk and manifest a hot pastrami sandwich immediately? Why can I manifest a parking space but not a free trip to Europe for me and my family? Why does it seem like some things are easier to manifest than others? Is it because we don’t believe or have faith enough or is it just that those things are not in our highest good to have right now?
Flames as thoughts...
YEOSHUA: Ahh, very good question, Melinda. This question has plagued humankind for centuries and even the ascended masters have difficulty with this. Allow me to explain. The absolute consciousness from which thoughts evolve is always moving and spinning. It is only when you hold steady the thought you want to manifest that it will come about. It is as if you are trying to hold a flame still in this energy that is moving around. So think of holding a flame still in a wind storm and you’ve got the idea. It takes extreme focus and practice to maintain this delicate light that you can’t even touch. By holding it too tight, it goes out. If you hold it too loosely it will blow out from external forces acting on it. It must be held with just the right touch for it to manifest into what you want.
The flame is the thought of belief surrounding what you want to manifest. It takes time and practice to manifest quickly and easily whatever you hold in your flame. But you can do it. Everyone can. You’ll be amazed when you manifest more than just a parking spot. It will be a miracle and no one will believe you. Just know that now. But start small with what you want to manifest. The larger the flame, the easier it can get smothered or blow out or be fed too much or not enough. You need to feed the flame but not too much at once. Feed it with positive thoughts and positive actions in the direction you wish to go. But don’t spend too much time on it or it will smother the flame. And again, don’t neglect it either. An unattended flame can sputter out or get out of control.
Follow-Up Question: Can you give me any specific practices to get better at it?
YEOSHUA: Yes, of course. Start with manifesting whatever type of day you want to have. Do you want to have a happy and productive day? Picture how you want to feel at the end of the day. Picture how you want to feel in relation to your loved ones. Do this in the morning of your chosen day and write down what you want to manifest (just jot a few notes down). Then when you go to bed that night, check in and see how you did. Did you come close to manifesting the type of day you wanted? How often did you think about it? Did you let it go at times or smother it with attention? Just practice this a few times and notice what works and what doesn’t work.
Take care of your flame...
Then you can begin to work your way up to actual items or physical manifestations. Picture what you want to manifest (start small) and use the same practice as you did for the type of day you wanted. This is a trial and error process as the amount of attention needed to care for and feed the flame varies from person to person. So pay attention and practice, practice, practice. You’ll get there. Ask us for help and we can help nudge you one way or another to get you where you want to be. You have a lifetime to practice so don’t get discouraged. Love and light to you.
MARY MAGDALENE: You would be amazed at the things I’ve seen people manifest. They are truly miracles in the making. But it takes a big open mind to allow for this to happen. Some may think you crazy just for opening your mind that wide but pay the naysayers no attention. They will never understand the process of manifestation with a closed mind and similar perception of the world. That is OK. That is their path. This is yours and that’s the beauty of it, of the world really—that each person gets to choose their own path and find what beauty is inherent in that path of wonder. What a joy to watch you all find your way.
I, too, am available should you call on me to help you manifest. I can watch and tend to your flame as well. It would be my honor to do so. This is an important step in your spiritual journey and it takes time to master. I wish you the best on this new endeavor. God bless.
