The Law of Manifestation and the Formula of Success
At this point in reading this book, I hope you're not missing a magic pill for personal success. I haven't found anything like it.
But:
Since I'm sure you expect a formula for success, I'm going to try to offer it to you. However, first let me mention the Law of Manifestation:
It is what I have learned and I offer it to you synthesized. It is the summary of the “method of fulfilled wishes”.
Honestly, I don't know any person who applies himself to his objective with discipline, persisting for the necessary time, putting his five senses and all his heart into it and finally, things have gone wrong. This is simply impossible.
And now yes, the formula for personal success:
From which it follows that the size of success is proportional to the number of errors converted into wisdom.
Failure is a great source of inspiration.
I have received many “no's” in my life —which I celebrate today— for which I thank God.
You might say, "Yes, it's so easy for you to write this, but if it's so easy, why don't most people live successful lives?"
The answer I know is that although the main ingredient—failure—is so abundant, it is often not combined with the key ingredient—inner transformation—very few are able to appreciate an opportunity for transformation disguised as failure. Or you see in your dream the opportunity for the transformation of your consciousness.
Let me tell you something that no one seems to notice: our educational system penalizes mistakes. Soon, as children, they learn that being wrong is bad. The school teaches to bet on the safe. And because experience shows us that nothing is really certain, at the age of thirty we begin to unlearn what we were wrongly taught. And we started to take risks and make some mistakes from time to time. No kidding, I spend a lot of time teaching seminars for adults to unlearn what's not working for them.
“Law of Manifestation: realize your heart's desire, create a vision of it and sustain it, establish a personal mission around it, commit to serve through it, assume your unlimited power, focus your attention on what you want, serve synchronicities, act on the causes that will create it, trust even in the worst moments, put your heart into it, detach yourself from the result and enjoy the process, and rest assured that it will manifest at the right time.”
I read an advertising book called You can be as good as you want to beby Paul Arden, which answers the question: For what reasons do those who are supposedly "good" in school not necessarily succeed in life? According to Arden, it's very simple: the school rewards safety.
("failure1“+”failure2“+…”+”failuren“) = success
But not creativity. When I was eleven years old, my fifth-year teacher told me that I did not have enough level in what I liked the most: public speaking and writing.
But I didn't believe him; and I still don't believe him now, I've been living on it for 25 years.
Academic success is one thing and professional success another. The truth is that you cannot live on good grades beyond graduation. My clients, my readers, my students, my suppliers… none of them have ever asked me about my grades in school. They ask me for results.
Seven Paradoxes of Manifestation
What follows is the DNA of dreams, the genetic material of the Field of all possibilities. You are going to receive the knowledge that will allow you to manifest your dreams.
I would like you to spend some time reflecting on the following principles of the "operating system" of the universe:
• The paradox of detachment:whatever you resist persists; and only when you accept it, give up. What you want now is already making its way to you, but you will not be able to receive it until you learn to prefer it instead of demanding it.
• The paradox of infinite potential realities: there are different possible realities, but it is the focus on one of them that materializes it and precipitates it into reality, withdrawing all the others.
• The paradox of wishes:establish your desires even knowing that more than the achievement, what matters is the personal process that leads you to them.
• The paradox of talent:you are chosen by your dream and your gifts have been given to you in correspondence to fulfill it. If you can dream it, you can make it come true.
• The paradox of apparent chaos:true trust manifests itself in the worst of circumstances, in the midst of seeming chaos, just when nothing seems to leave room for hope.
• The paradox of the invisible reality: it is in the absence of response, or in absolute silence, that a new order is hatched from the invisible reality. When it seems that nothing happens, the how and when is established.
• The paradox of precise time: the time invested in a dream disappears in one reality and appears in another. It adds life to your life and improves that of other people whose lives will be touched by it.
With everything you now know:
What would you do if you started over?
What would you stop doing?
The "hero's journey"
The interesting book by Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, written in 1949, describes the transformation process of the human being in search of his destiny: “The hero begins his adventure from the everyday world to a region of wonders , he meets fabulous forces and wins a decisive victory; the hero returns with the strength to grant gifts to his brothers”.
The “hero's journey” has four main stages: the preparation for the journey, the call to adventure, crossing the threshold, and adventure. Shall we start?
In preparing for the journey, the hero rebels against the dissatisfaction and lack of coherence that governs his life.
In the call to adventure, he feels the need for something to live for with full meaning and to dedicate his days to, although his resistance and uncertainties still hold him back.
Crossing the threshold is the great decision that breaks with a past and places the hero in his new life full of uncertainties and challenges.
The adventure is the process of oppositions and also of achievements that lead the protagonist to conquer his dream.
Let's see it broken down:
1. Preparation for the adventure: the hero recognizes his dissatisfaction and emptiness.
2. Call to Adventure: Something unexpected happens that breaks the routine and pushes the hero to make a decision. Go into crisis.
3. Refusal of the call: the hero is reluctant to leave the comfort of the known to enter the unknown.
4. Crossing the threshold: finally the hero takes the irreversible step, burning the ships with which to return to his old way of life on his old world.
5. Opposition, tests, difficulties constitute the adventure and endless adventures that the hero will have to solve.
6. Conquest of the Dream: Once the ultimate test has been passed and all threats have been turned into opportunities, the hero reaches the pinnacle of his great adventure.
7. I return transformed, the hero is not and cannot be the same person; your true reward is the personal transformation of living for a dream.
This "road map" towards full realization can be applied to a person as well as to a company or civilization. Do you want to apply it to your mission?
