There’s a small, but powerful distinction I have recently learned which has helped me to manifest what I want much more quickly.

I have spoken to quite a few people in the last few weeks who are making the same mistake I used to when trying to manifest something, so I figured I’d write a Blog post about it.

The “flaw” in most people’s thinking is pretty clearly demonstrated in this conversation that I’ve had with many people in the last few weeks:

Paul: “Hi John, so how did you enjoy the Your Wish is Your Command program?”
John: “Oh it’s great.  I finished it a couple of weeks ago and I already started manifesting some things.”
Paul: “Cool.  So have you decided whether or not you want to become a Member of the Global Information Network?”
John: “No, I don’t have the money for that right now.”
Paul: “Right.  So have you decided whether you want to become a Member though?”
John: “Well I can’t. I don’t have the money to join.”
Paul: “Right.  But it doesn’t cost you any money to make a decision, does it?”
John: “Well, no, but I don’t have the money to join so what’s the point of deciding?”
Paul: “If you don’t have the money to join GIN, why don’t you use the teachings in YWIYC to manifest the money?”
John: “Well, I’m manifesting money for other stuff first.”
Paul: “What other stuff?”
John: “Oh I have some bills that need to be paid right away, and then I need to manifest some money for my credit card payment, and then I need to manifest money for my car insurance.”
Paul: “Ok, so why don’t you manifest the money for all that stuff and also manifest $1,000 for your GIN initiation fees?”
John: “Well if I manifested $1,000 I would use it for other stuff first.”

I’ve had a similar conversation to this with about a half-dozen people now, and there is a big flaw in their way of thinking about this.

The flaw is that they assume that the Universe helps us manifest stuff in a SERIAL fashion.

Meaning, most people unconsciously limit themselves to only asking the Universe for only one or two things at a time.

It’s as if they believe there is some kind of quota that they don’t want to go over.

The Universe doesn’t care.

If you ask it for one thing at a time, it will go to work for you to help you manifest only that one thing.

If you ask it for 500 things at the same time, it will go to work for you to help you manifest all 500 things.

That doesn’t mean all 500 are going to manifest at the same time, but it means that the Universe will be working on all of them at the same time.

So, in the example above, John’s thinking is that he must first manifest the money to pay his bills.

He thinks that only once those are paid can he ask the Universe for help to manifest some extra money to pay his credit card.

And then only then can he ask the Universe for help to manifest some extra money to pay his car insurance.

So, things like manifesting a new car, or a nicer house, or a relationship or better health or anything like that are not even part of his “wish list”.

The Universe – A Parallel Processor

One of the things I learned at the Matrix Energetics seminar I attended last year is that just like our subconscious mind, the Universe is a parallel processor.

This means that it can handle an unlimited number of parallel tasks.

This means that you can ask the Universe for an unlimited number of things on your wish list, without worrying about one task slowing down the manifestation of another.

See I think a lot of people think that the Universe is kind of like a computer.

They think that you can ask it to do one thing, or maybe two, or maybe three or four, but if you ask it to do any more than that – it slows down to a crawl.

The Universe doesn’t work that way.  You can’t “Overload” it.

It doesn’t care if you ask it for 1 thing, 5 things, or 10,000 things.  It goes to work on all of them.

What’s even more is that from my experience, I have found that actually the MORE things you ask of it at the same time, the more efficient it becomes at delivering EACH thing to you.

Think of it this way… let’s say you were going to send your spouse to the store to get some groceries.

Your spouse asks you what you want, and you say “Oh we need some potatoes.”

So your spouse goes out, drives to the store, gets some potatoes, and then drives back.

Once they get back you say to them “Wow, you got potatoes!  That is awesome.  Ok, now we also need some salt.  We’re really low on salt, can you go get salt?”

So they get back in their car, drive to the store, buy some salt, drive back.

As soon as they get back, you say to them “Ok perfect.  Now we need some eggs.”

See my point?

That is totally inefficient.  Your spouse would probably flip you the bird and tell you to go get the eggs yourself.

Don’t DO THIS!

Don’t ask for ONE THING AT A TIME.  It slows everything down, and probably drives the Universe nuts.

Now the spouse going to the grocery store analogy is not exactly perfect because it too has a limit to the amount of things that your spouse could get for you at the store, but the Universe is not like that.  It is unlimited.  You can’t use it up.  It’s completely abundant.

What I have actually found is that the more stuff I put on my “Wish List” the faster I get everything one-by-one.

The stuff might not manifest in the order that I wrote it down on my wish list, but things do manifest much quicker.

Success Builds Belief

One of the reasons I believe asking for more stuff at the same time is better is because I think it builds belief faster.

For example, lets say I had a wish list that looked like this:

(1) I want to manifest $500 to pay off my credit card.

Versus if I had a wish list that looked like this:

(1) I want $500 to pay off my credit card.

(2) I want a new iPhone 4s.

(3) I want $500 for an upcoming Matrix Energetics seminar.

(4) I want to lose 5 lbs of fat.

(5) I want a new BMW 7-Series, fully loaded, fully paid for.

In the second scenario I have 5 items on my list instead of just one.  Why is this better?

Well, the reason it’s better is because the more stuff you ask the Universe for, the more it goes to work for you to manifest each one of those things.

Let’s say that in the first example, after 2 weeks you still haven’t manifested $500 to pay off that credit card.  Where is your belief level at in such a case?

Probably not very high when it comes to believing in this “manifesting stuff”, right?

Well, what if it takes the Universe 3 months to line up the circumstances required to help you manifest an extra $500 to pay off that credit card?

That means for 3 months your belief levels are going down, and down, and down as more and more time passes.

This is bad.

See, in the second example the Universe has 5 chances to manifest SOMETHING to help you believe.

For example, what if the Universe can line up the circumstances to help you manifest a free iPhone 4s within 12 hours of you putting it on your wish list – with no “catches”?

Or what if it can help you lose 5lbs of fat very quickly – much quicker than any of the other things you asked for?

If this happens – such as for example lets say that you got a new iPhone 4s – what this does is that it helps to boost your BELIEF in the overall idea of being able to manifest your desires.

So manifesting the iPhone 4s now actually helps you to manifest the $500 you need to pay off your credit card even faster.

Meaning, manifesting the iPhone 4s boosts your belief and now maybe the Universe can help you manifest $500 in 1 week, instead of 3 months.

See what I mean?

So stop limiting yourself in your desires.  The Universe doesn’t not impose quotas of any kind on your wish list.

Ask for what you want.

If you decide that you really want something, then ask for it.  Don’t be scared to ask for what you want, because you think it will prevent you from getting something else you asked for first.

This is one of the best ways to get more of what you want faster.
