    I know just what you mean!  Sometimes I want something so much,
    that I 'make' it happen and then when it does I think "uhoh,
    now what?"   On a related note, I think sometimes we get things
    (events) that we DON'T want because we need them in our lives.
    
    My basic view is that everything happens for a reason, even though
    the reason may not be immediately clear to me (hindsite and all
    that).

    Is your method for achieving these results something you can/would
    share, or would you rather keep it private.

    I am in the process of learning about the universal law of prosperity.
    I visualize it to be like the following example.  I've vacationed
    to Dinasaur National Monument which contains a beautiful campground
    by the confluence of the Green and the Yampa rivers.  At this
    confluence there is an incredibly high wall that will immediately
    echo many times what you say.  The univerisal law of prosperity
    is just this...whatever you put out to the universe, you'll receive
    10 fold.  If you give love, you'll get much love in return. 
    
    This also pertains to getting what you want. If you want more time,
    give time.  If you want more money, give money and it will be returned
    to you many times over.  
    
    We ARE powerful and in charge of our lives - this can be seen by
    our results.  Life sure is exciting!

    Its also called "the law of karmic return" I believe and I agree
    with you in that it is a powerful tool.

    Regarding your note on "getting what you ask for"... I would like
    to also include that it is very important what you put out into
    the world in thought form.  I have worked very hard on being positive
    regarding something I thought I wanted, and then followed it up
    with the "act" ... but if my thought/belief was not there, it was
    futile.  Then there are the days when my thoughts were, shall we
    say, a "bit" on the negative side (who me?)...doggone if what I
    was thinking wouldn't manifest itself!  I believe that is what 
    happens to some do-gooders, they may not be think-gooders; therefore,
    like a giant magnet, they attract negativity to themselves or they
    have the ability to block good things to themselves.  
    
    I am still working on being careful what I ask for; and for me it
    means to be VERY SPECIFIC.  
    
    I would like to share some words of wisdom:
    
    Watch your thoughts;
    they become your words.
    
    Watch your words;
    they become your actions.
    
    Watch you actions;
    they become your habits.
    
    Watch your habits;
    they become your character.
    
    Watch your character;
    for it becomes your destiny.
    
    I would love to give credit to the author, but I don't remember
    where this comes from.  Possibly a bit of wisdom from a Celestial
    Tea Box.

Hi Carla,

I really liked what you said but wanted to suggest that maybe it is
not so much the physical self as the mind that is the culprit.  When
you say Ego I think (please correct) you are speaking of the mind,
that part that wants and wants and... 

When I think of the physical self, I think body.  That part of me that 
is mechanical; walking, breathing etc.

For me, the mind is "a tough beast to manage."  Give it an idea and 
will go to never, never land with it.  It really does not have a 
direction of its own, it really just goes and does.

It is the discipline of the mind by Soul that facilitates the process 
of unfoldment to who we really are and what is our Spiritual nature.

For me, trusting in myself (and my Guide) has been an important tool to my 
unfoldment.  I've learned to trust those inner nudges, as messages 
from Soul to the conscious mind so that they can be manifest.

Sometimes it is hard and confusing.  For me, confusion is a good sign.
It is an indication that I am working on something on an Inner level
and that it is being worked on.  Much like dreaming and waking up the
next day with a solution. 

This is where the trust *really* pays off.
