Author Topic: The beautiful thing about time delays (Read 5575 times)

Sweet Spirit · « **on:** March 30, 2011, 08:38:59 PM »

Many of us wonder why it takes so long to manifest our desires. Then we start to doubt if LOA really works or if we are doing the process right, because it just seems to take a while for us to reach the point of manifestation.

Know this: LOA is real and it is always working! GUARANTEED! Just because your desires are not manifested within a certain length of time does not mean that LOA is not real.

The following is an example of why time delays are a good thing:

A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling very negative and down for a couple of days. I even wrote about it in a post to this forum. I was thinking things that I was feeling. Like I hope this and that, and I want this and that.
What I was thinking and feeling was only temporary and it was my conscious mind giving me these negative thoughts and feelings. This went on for several days. I was also having doubts and I was feeling indifferent and detached, but nonetheless I was thinking and hoping for things that I really did not want (even though at the time I thought that is what I wanted.) Then my subconscious kicked in and said to my heart, "Now Melanie, you know that what you are thinking and feeling will eventually manifest itself if you keep thinking and feeling this way, and you KNOW that what you are thinking and feeling is NOT what you REALLY want." I got advice from this forum to rethink my desires and say what it is I really DO want. Now I know these things because I have been one of the people on this forum to give that same advice, so I told myself, "Melanie, follow the advice you have been giving others." As all of you know, it is easier to give advice than it is to follow that same advice yourself, but I knew that I should change those limited beliefs and doubts before they manifested themselves.

My point is this:
What if the universe had manifested my thoughts and feelings immediately or within a short period of time? Thank God, there was a time delay! The universe knew that my heart did not want what I was hoping for on a conscious level. I believe there are time delays so that we have a chance to re evaluate what it is we really do want, because sometimes what we "think" we want is not really what we want. If our desires were manifested right away, we would not have that chance to change our request would we? So in these periods of waiting, be grateful that the creator of the universe is working things out to where everything falls into place perfectly at the right time when we are ready to receive. Now if you are still waiting for something that you are CERTAIN you want, it could be that the timing still needs to be worked out, or you have not let go, or you're not ready, or the universe can see and knows in the future that what you think is right for you may not be the best thing, or maybe there is something better out there for you that you don't know about yet. So be grateful for the universe's timing and that time delay, for it is necessary in order to manifest and attract wonderful things!

The key here is to KNOW and BELIEVE that everything happens for a very good reason; even time delays. And we should always search our heart for what it is we really want because our conscious mind is not a reliable source at all, but our subconscious mind/higher self/ heart/ gut instinct is!

A little side note here: I am still looking for that perfect job. However I have not really thought about or affirmed what it is I want in a job that would make me really LOVE that job. That is why I am still waiting. I have applied to several jobs but I am not really sure if those jobs will satisfy me so it is a very good thing that I have not manifested those jobs right?

I am so grateful for this forum and that I know "the secret." Now I need to get busy writing down what a perfect job would be for me.

Love and blessings to you all!!

I'm glad you got over your little blip. I agree with everything you said apart from this bit

"or the universe can see and knows in the future that what you think is right for you may not be the best thing, or maybe there is something better out there for you that you don't know about yet."

I got a message from the secret scrolls which said something pretty similar. BUT if the law of attraction is a LAW and we therefore attract everything to us via our thoughts - then this statement shouldn't be true because it's a LAW we attract everything good and bad - the universe isn't deciding what is good or bad for us or better or worse. we attract it - and we have to deal with the consequences of those attractions.

If the universe can see and knows what is right for us - then why doesn't it just deliver it to now? If there's something or someone better bring it on - show us the goods.

To my mind either we attract it - in which case - we should get it all or the universe decides what is better in which case why are we bothering to attract anything?

In terms of time delay - fair enough - apart from changing our minds - I also think getting things instantly would lead to ingratitude.

just my point of view.

Lise2010.....I felt the same way when I read that too...wouldn't that go against the LOA?

Its just an amazing post Melanie.. thanks for sharing.. its a timely help for me as I was worrying about time delay.. u made me clear..

What I think is that The Universe knows what we want subconsciously and sometimes we don't realize it consciously. For example:I want a particular guy.I don't want the guy himself (while he is being indifferent or rude to me) I want him but I want that version of him that is kind,sweet and loving and tender. He has his free will and his own conscious so we can't exactly want something that he doesn't want himself,if he is not vibrating on the same level I am there's nothing I can do about it. A lot of exes really do come back but I think that is just a simple psychology.And yes,when we vibrate high enough we attract the good people in our lives but if that particular guy is negative and sulky he won't ''catch'' our positive vibes. And what I think Melanie meant is for example: that deep inside we want the tender,loving and sweet guy and the Universe gives him to us but it doesn't have to be HIM. Subconsciously we need and want to feel loved and Universe delivers to us our wish.I don't say that the Universe has an opinion and decides ''No,you don't want him,let's give you another''. It's just doing its best to fulfill our deepest desires in a way that it's possible.

Thank you Melanie for sharing this, for sharing on "time delays". This is just the things that I want to hear and read and to tell my conscious mind what it means when I still didn't have the desire of my heart. In the past few days, I was a bit of down when the same man who told me that this year will be a great year for me for I will meet the man who can change my life forever, my Mr. Right,was the same man who told me that he will not come this year but rather needs a little time more. After reading your posts, it reminded me that time delays are there to still work on things in me that needed to be deleted, to let go, to forgive and to completely heal me

It made me smile, as I will start counting on tonight on the desires of my heart, and looking on the beliefs that I have associated with that desire - and I have more time to work on this then

Lots of love to you Melanie

Abraham - Is this the 'right' relationship?

This is good, thought I'd share! EXPECT the best from the relationship and the other person!!

How I see it Abraham just told us that you can influence a person with your own perception,or I didn't get it right?

boomergirl · « **Reply #8 on:** April 01, 2011, 01:54:24 AM »

I have done this in my life more than once. So I say "yes", without a doubt..

In my opinion, the Universe doesn't "Know". It just listens to what our subconscious mind wants. However, as humans we think our conscious mind can trick our subconscious mind and it can't. So while we consciously "think" of things we want or don't "want" if it conflicts with our subconscious thoughts/feelings, it isn't going to happen or it is going to take a long while to manifest.

In addition, it is a proven fact that positive thoughts/feelings have stronger frequencies than negative thoughts/feelings.

I have some questions about that... how can WE know what our subconscious mind wants? Is there a way to investigate the subconscious and understand what we really want? Are dreams a good occasion to do that?

Detached&Allowing · « **Reply #11 on:** April 01, 2011, 11:41:37 PM »

Really good question. In my opinion, you base it off of feelings and past experiences. If you keep trying to manifest one thing and you aren't getting it, you have to look at why. Are you ready for it? Do you feel worthy? Is there something that happened when you were young or while developing into an adult that led you to feel inadequate, insecure, etc.

Does that make sense?

Yes, I feel totally ready and worthy about what I'm attracting, but all my adolescence led me to feel inadequate and insecure. However many things have changed and my personality is much stronger now. Nevertheless there's a girl I've been trying to attract for 5 months but I haven't got any good result yet and this "time delay" is destroying me!

I think that when we dream we have a rare occasion to see what our subconscious mind is thinking, and from my dreams (and from some Alpha connections too) I gather that also my subconscious mind wants to be with this girl. Nevertheless everything is going wrong and I just can't understand why. I'm speechless, I really don't know what to think anymore and probably I'll definitively give up in the near future.

The only thing I know for sure is that I can't wait any longer. If I'm supposed to be with that girl I want her NOW, otherwise I'll definitely start to do anything to forget about her because this waiting is hurting me terribly.

...I'm sorry if that post may seem very negative, but I'm not in an happy period now...

If that is the truth than you may want to consider this. You may have a list of attributes that you are not subconsciously willing to negotiate on. Little do you know she may be lacking one or more. Only the Universe knows. Everything happens for a reason.
