Excerpted from the book, “The Vibrational Universe”
Vibrationally speaking, the creative process is all
about aligning to your desire, and keeping your
focus there. If you do this, success is guaranteed,
and if you don’t, failure is probable. Success does
not depend on what others think, say, or do. If you
are experiencing opposition from any quarter, you
are already out of alignment, for you have attracted
such into your experience. Life is a self–fulfilling
prophecy. You always experience precisely according
to your activated vibrational content. The ideas
presented in these essays are absurdly simple, and
understood by everyone at the most intimate level of
being: no one else can determine the outcome of your
life except you.
All
individuals are sovereign in their experience. The
way to success is to find something you want, and
keep lined up to it!
All
desires begin as thoughts. Very often, a rush of
positive emotion accompanies this thought.
“Wouldn’t it be great to write a bestselling book?”
“I want to learn karate and kick ass.” “Starting my
own company would be fantastic.” “I want a new
house, this one is too small.” “I want to be a more
loving person.” Etc. However, in most cases, your
present vibration (reflected in the conditions of
your life) is nowhere near the vibration of your
desire. That’s because desire is often strongest
when you are living just the opposite! The new
desire is a little 'packet' of energy that, at
present, represents an unfulfilled gap or a
potential relative to your present vibration. When
that gap is completely bridged, it will be reflected
in the physical universe.
“Aligning energy” is simply a vibrational matching
to your desire, in accordance with the Law of
Vibration and the Law of ‘like attracts like.”
Thought, action, and manifestation are symbiotically
linked, thought being the driving force that
determines the nature of the other two. The creative
process is, essentially, keeping yourself lined up
with what you want while you complete the necessary
steps toward manifestation. Failure to do so must
result in falling short of the goal. In fact, what
happens in the physical universe (or within
yourself, if the goal is strictly personal) will be
a precise reflection of the design templates of
thought that you keep alive in your consciousness.
Until
you are purely in harmony with your desire, there
will be conflicting vibrations present within you.
This means that your efforts will result in some of
what you do want as well as some of what you don't
want. This is OK, because the results you are
getting will be a good gauge of exactly where your
vibration is, relative to your desire. You can look
at what is appearing in your life and if there is
something you are getting you don't like, there is a
belief that exactly matches it. Now you can
precisely identify old beliefs and release them,
making the action cycles you perform much more
efficient and aligned with the goal.
How
many times have you begun something with the hope
that it will work out? “Well, I’ll try this way, and
see what happens.” With an intention like that, the
results will very likely not be satisfactory. Here,
there is a kernel of desire but the sophistication
and power of your thought is not yet congruent with
the desire. The actions you take reflect the
somewhat amorphous quality of your thought and
therefore, what you receive is amorphous as well. Of
course, it is impossible to immediately perform at a
high skill level without working at your craft.
Nevertheless, a powerful and confident vibration,
combined with a clear vision, establishes a
compelling platform of attraction.
My
piano teacher told me that the great saxophonist
Charlie Parker would practice 14 hours a day, 7 days
a week but for me, that is absolutely ridiculous. If
I get 30 minutes every other day at the piano I’m
doing well. But then I asked myself, “what are you
doing the rest of the time?” Writing! I write every
day, sometimes for 16 hours at a time with a few
breaks for eats. Apparently, it all depends on where
your interest is, and where you are focused. My
vibration is powerfully focused on writing, as Mr.
Parker’s was on music. In 5 years I’ve gone
literally from zero, to four books. And it wasn’t
work at all, it was just fun the whole time. That is
probably how Charlie Parker felt about his music.
The
universe you perceive is a mirror of your vibration.
It is your helpful servant, delivering to you exact
matches to where you place your focus. It is
constantly pointing out to you where you are on the
roadmap of life. This is not only very logical, it
is very helpful, for, if you are honest with
yourself, you may observe your manifestations and
benchmark your progress. In other words, if there is
something continually recurring in your life, then
clearly you have an activated pattern of thought or
belief supporting it. Operating from the assumption
that consciousness is cause, you can then stop
blaming luck, chance, or other people for your
misfortune, and get yourself back on the rails.
Many
people think that it is impossible to consciously
create the life they want. That is because almost
everyone gets some of what is wanted and some of
what isn't wanted, so it seems like a crap shoot. Or
luck. Or coincidence. It seems to most that the
earth is a very chaotic place, and even a cursory
glance at the news seems to confirm that.
Far
from being a chaotic place, the planet earth is
perfectly ordered and balanced! It just seems
chaotic sometimes, because so many people do not
consciously focus and direct their thoughts. Their
vibration is all over the place, and so that is what
they receive! The key is to clearly identify what
you really want.
The
First Stage
The
first and most important stage in aligning your
energy is to have a clear idea of what your goal or
desire is. Most people don't get exactly what they
intend, because their vision is not crystal
clear! Often this step is neglected in favor of
action cycles. “Well, I don’t really know what I
want, but maybe if I hope enough and work hard
enough, something good will happen.” Yeah, maybe it
will, but one of the purposes of this book is to
describe the process of conscious creation.
It’s a lot more fun to have control of your
life than to just go on hoping!
Sometimes necessity demands that you plunge in
before you are ready, but it is vitally important
that you clarify where you are going along the way.
If your thoughts are amorphous, the results you
obtain will be as well. Here is where creative
visualization comes into the picture.
Creative visualization is the process of building a
template of thought and emotion which will establish
your point of attraction and guide your action. It
establishes the being portion of the be–do–have
process. Creative visualization utilizes a balance
of heart and mind. When it is done correctly,
creative visualization alters your personal
vibration, results in a change of feeling within
you, and lines you up to the goal. That is why so
many athletes use it.
…

The
important thing to understand is that manifestation
is always the result of your personal creative
process, and you have complete control over that.
The
Second Stage
The
second stage is staying in the present moment while
deliberately envisioning what you want. Go through
life as much as possible living in 'now' time. The
'now' moment is always the moment of creation. It is
always the moment of experiencing, when the
vibrations from the outside world reach your senses.
Therefore, envision having what you want NOW. You
envision what you want in the now, and when it comes
to you, it will be in the now. Life is lived now! It
is hard to communicate this concept, because we
perceive time as linear – past, present, future.
But the
linearity of time is an illusion. The present moment
is the platform for creation, because effective
creation occurs when one is fully conscious. And one
can only be fully conscious by being fully present
NOW. Those who detach themselves from the present
become less and less attuned to reality, as most of
us have probably noticed. My friend’s mother had
Alzheimer’s, and her contact with the now was
tenuous at best. My sister–in–law is in a nursing
home. She thinks she sees her dead parents all the
time, and goes out to lunch with them a lot. Maybe
she does, who knows, but wherever she is eating, it
isn’t on planet earth!
…
(snip)
The
point is, never dwell on negative events of the
past. What's done is done and by far your most
powerful point of attraction, by many orders of
magnitude, is in the present. When you dwell on the
negative past you bring it into the now, activating
the vibration of it.
The
Third Stage
The
third stage is gradually gaining the ability to
focus on what you want, despite all the reasons not
to.
If you
have an office job that you hate, but would like to
be self–employed, you must align your energies to
being self–employed, despite your present reality
that is all about the office. You get up every
morning and spend the entire day there. You can't
align yourself to being self–employed if your every
thought and experience is about the office! So what
to do?
Imagine
as many times as you can during the day, what it
would feel like to be on your own. Visualize what
you would be doing. Play with it. You'd be surprised
how often you can do this if you really want to. I
am not encouraging anyone to daydream at work, but
there are always breaks during the day in which you
can exercise your creative imagination. I often take
some time at the end of the day, or in the morning
just before work or before I sit down to write, and
spend some time at creative visualization
. I tried meditating and that helped to calm me down
a little, but in meditation there is a releasing of
desire, whereas in creative visualization there is a
conscious focusing, a distinct vibrational
orientation on what is wanted. Besides, I like the
idea of harnessing my mind and putting it to work,
instead of trying to shut it up!
…(snip)
The
Fourth Stage
The
fourth stage in aligning your energy is gaining the
ability to purely focus upon what is wanted. This is
a major step, because you have to be clear
enough not to have old beliefs and feelings
impinging on you every time you attempt to place
yourself in your new vibration. When I first began
the process of writing, I’d wind up fighting with
editors and publishers, explaining to them why my
stuff was worth reading.
Instead of envisioning what I wanted, I was
overcoming obstacles. I struggled with myself and
others every time I began to reach higher. It was
discouraging, for things seemed to be getting worse,
not better.
Eventually I understood that activating new beliefs
agitated the old thought structures I had built up
over the years. In order to emerge from the stagnant
pond of my old beliefs, I had to disturb the waters
a little!
…
(snip)
Just as
one practices meaningfully as an artist, so too does
it take practice to shift vibrationally in life.
This is what some call “growth” as a person.
Personal growth is changing one’s personal vibration
to match one’s desires. This process is fully
supported by the universe’s operating system.
The
Fifth Stage
The
fifth stage is creating “from the inside out.” By
that is meant, feeling the creative power
originating within you, and understanding that it
interfaces with the world to bring you what is
wanted. The reflexive flow is primary.
Although this is obvious when creating a work of
art, it is not so obvious in life. Many people see
the creative energy outside of themselves, and so
feel the need to struggle and work inordinately
hard. The larger and more elaborate is the goal, the
more work it will be, is the thinking. This seems
reasonable, because a more expensive car costs less
than a cheap one, and since money is energy, a
cheaper car should be easier to get. A company–wide
restructuring should be more difficult than an
individual team or cell. But this isn’t true at all.
In the vibrational model, an alignment to the goal
is all that is needed.
…
(snip)
The
Sixth Stage
The
sixth stage is the realization that your new
vibration now feels more comfortable than did the
old one. At this stage, you have clarified, purified
and aligned your energy to your desire so well that
it feels natural to live in this new way. There are
now no (or almost no) conflicting counter–thoughts
or doubts which cause you to feel negative emotion.
The
Seventh Stage
The
seventh stage is observation in the physical
universe of your goal or dream manifesting. This
step actually occurs little by little along the way.
It may start out in the early stages with little
things that remind you of where you are going. Then,
as you get further along, manifestations that are
more concrete will occur, until finally, the goal is
achieved. Again, this is quite obvious when engaging
in an artistic project, but it is not so obvious
when trying to change the conditions of your life,
or in a business setting.
For
example, one day I was writing my third book and I
understood that I was fully a writer, doing the
things that writers do. The process of change was so
gradual I hardly noticed it, for I had so much fun
along the way.
Many
times, manifestation will not occur in the way you
thought it would, or planned it would. The path
toward your goal always occurs through the cracks of
least resistance in your vibration, so when your
life begins to change, it may change in
unanticipated ways. Just go with the flow, it will
turn out wonderful.
The
Eighth Stage
The
eighth stage is the full manifestation. Now you are
living your new life, or have the thing that you
desired, or have reached your goal. You feel a sense
of accomplishment, and expansiveness. It's a great
feeling.
…
(snip)
After
you have successfully manifested, you will
have another desire, and another, and another. Some
call this “greed” but guess what, it is not! It is
the inherent property of life to expand, to want to
be more, feel more, experience more! If you ever run
out of desires or goals, you will cease to channel
any life force through you, and your body will die.
The end of desire is the end of life force, for
desire IS life force! Enjoy your manifestation, but
don't be surprised if you feel yourself wanting
more. It's totally natural. The all–that–is, of
which you are an integral part, is set up for
continuous growth.
The
Ninth Stage
The
ninth and last stage is the next desire. Once you
have enjoyed and assimilated the results of your new
creation for a while, you have reached a new plateau
of perception, and you realize there is more you
would like to experience. The process starts all
over again, but now you are a more fully realized
being. You have knowingly applied your creative
process and deliberately manifested a desire. You
know that YOU did it. The feeling of power you now
have is indescribable, because you know you can do
it again! And again, and again, and again. Now life
starts to become really exciting. You only have to
decide what more you want to be, do, or have and you
are on your way.
Geometrically, the creative process can be
represented as a spiral. A spiral continues forever
upward and outward, reflecting the eternal and
expanding nature of consciousness itself.
