Aligning with Desire: The Key to Manifestation
Time is irrelevant; your requests, in the form of desires—whether they are in a prayer or cried out in anguish—are almost immediately answered. However, you may not align with the answer right away; therefore, it won't be delivered to your physical experience until you do. You may seemingly accidentally align with it, and it may pop into your life when you least expect it.
The vibration of a request, in whatever form it is asked, is always different from the response. If your requests are in the form of a plea or carry the vibration of lack, they may only bring you more of the same. Rather, if you allow yourself to align with the response, it could enter your experience immediately, but rarely does. If sent in the form of KNOWING, then it wouldn't be a request; it would be a knowing, and you would have already manifested it.
Desires are vibrational waves that are sent into the ethers with the magnitude and force of the emotions behind the desire. You must align with the response in order to receive. Like in the game of baseball, it is the equivalent of the pitcher sending out the request, the universe bats it back, and the outfielder who catches it. You are the pitcher and the outfielder. Line up, and then you will receive. Answers are ready to pop into your experience; it’s as if you have to align to receive.
A pet dish that delivers food at a specific time isn’t delivered because of a time on the clock, but when the opening aligns with the tray. In this case, you are the tray and only need to align yourself with the delivery. Go about your business of the day rather than wait expectantly; then you may slip into your receiving mode. The request will slip in at the least expected moment once you are in the place to receive.
The analogy "a watched pot never boils" is appropriate to this example. Request, but don’t doubt. Find the vibration of the answer, even if it is on a totally different subject, and you will be allowed the experience. Enjoyment is the key to unlocking your desires.
