The Art of Life By Christopher Emmanuel

“Successful manifestation creates continual joy”

Some people believe strength is in the mind, and to some degree that is true thoughts do help shape your reality. But the mind doesn’t feel and this is a feeling universe. What I mean is we are vibrating energy and this energy goes to the highest polarity. Real power lies in the hearts intention, because what we truly feel deep in our being is what we manifest.

So if you are not getting what you want don’t be surprised because you most likely are getting what’s good for you. Even in prayer people wonder why they don’t receive what they are asking –because the Source energy. Great Order Divine knows what’s good for you better than you. This energy regulates your flow of blood and does all that automatic functions that you don’t think about- is what creates the dynamic of the universe.

Many times in our haste to acquire things we can’t see the cage we are building for ourselves. We are so sure in our minds that this is right for us, we move too fast and forget so much because we cannot see the future and the real cost of our desires. We end up with the physical thing, but without the feeling of joy and happiness.

The best way I know to get what is good for me is to always ask for physical desires from an internal perspective. By asking the source, “give me only what’s good for me.” This allows source to move to the highest polarity and provide with intention for the greater good for all. After all we are soul creators and soul is one and more.
