Episode 38 - 'Walk a Mile In My Moccasins' - Part3 - I've tried manifestation. Why doesn't it work...


EPISODE DESCRIPTION
‘The Law of Attraction’ and ‘Manifestation’ tends to contour up an impression to many people of a ‘Mystical Key’ which can unlock the door to life-long happiness and success.

In the wake of a conveyer-belt of ‘how to’ books, workshops, guru’s, and you-tube videos covering the subject, there is a legacy of tales and anecdotes producing apparent verification to many systems on offer.

Though for me, observation over several years has brought me to a conclusion, that the successes are voiced loudly and whilst passing through the grape-vine of society, heralded as the ‘thing to do!’ But from those comparatively few successes are an iceberg volume below the water-line of non-successes that melt away silently.

Is happiness, ‘positive thinking’? There is a popular emphasis to suggest it is. Therefore could that point to unhappiness being the mark of some sort of failure?

After Heather Heaton attended Robert’s lecture, "Fast Forward to Happiness”, she was eager to discuss the revelations with Discerning Consciousness’s host Ant-man and other co-host Mike, of the Robert Holden’s thinking on how to understand what being happy is; or can be; or might not be!

A; A step by step guidance of how to raise your vibrations, find balance and harmony and achieve enlightenment.

In this series of 5 episodes, Ant and Heather discuss the teachings as written in James Redfield’s books, The Celestine Prophecy, An Adventure, The Tenth Insight and The Celestine Prophecy – An Experiential Guide, which were first published in the 1990’s.

In Part two of this series, Antman and Heather discuss:-

The Third Insight – A Matter of Energy. Shows us that the Universe is pure energy which responds to our attention.

The Fourth Insight – A Struggle for Power. Demonstrates that humans mistakenly try to get energy from each other, which results in a sense of scarcity, competition and struggle.

Background:

The Prophecy was written hundreds of years before the Earth’s vibrations shifted. The Insights within the Prophecy were mysteriously brought to us in preparation for the change of energies people would experience following the big ‘shift’.

Planet Earth and all that reside upon her are now living upon the threshold, that is, within the first years of this much prophesied and auspicious millennium of change. 

But there is still a need for many of us to gain an understanding of how to achieve living the new vibration. For the human race to accomplish this new way of being, we need to ‘live’ the Insights.
