The Merlin Effect: Taking the Law of Attraction to the Next Level

Why are we drawn to or turn to the Law of Attraction? There's something we want to change about our lives, right? There are processes we engage in to get the Law to work for us. Maybe we meditate, write or repeat affirmations, use or wear symbols â?¦ there are any number of ways we approach this.

One important ingredient in this recipe is out there and is one many of us miss or don't pause long enough to fully grasp: our emotionally-charged focus is what pops enough energy into the field to manifest what we desire (or don't desire) into our lives. What messes with many of us when we desire to have something is we're told we have to feel what it's like to already have it, focus on that feeling rather than on our perceived lack of it which locks lack of it into place.

This guidance is absolutely accurate; but what if even this is short of the mark?

I gave myself some obvious, specific clues about this, especially over the last several years; and though I did realize the most significant aspect about it, it's only just recently that I feel I'm really getting it. I call it The Merlin Effect.

Some of these results took a year, some took minutes. The "some" are manifestations of people, events, and things in my life. The things are so obvious, I can't miss the implications. I wished for more novels and found around 100 books on the table in the laundry room in my building's basement. I wished for certain furniture items and either found them in the basement or others would say, "I have a (whatever it was I'd wished for). Do you know anyone I can give it to?" I could lengthen this list, but you get my point.

Yes, this is fun or amazing or whatever label you might choose to apply to it. But what I realized was it's not the manifestations, it's that I Manifested Them. Why not pay more attention to that than what was manifested?

These days, more of my focus is on strengthening my open connection to the manifesting consciousness within me and releasing limiting beliefs that still linger so I can expand more of my Merlin-like awareness. Many of us focus on getting more money or whatever into our lives. We do this primarily because our society says more or having certain things (even certain people in our lives) is our measuring stick of value, worth, and success. If you're at all familiar with the story of the great wizard Merlin, it's difficult to imagine him being concerned about storing up anything or worrying about what he has when he can continually manifest whatever he chooses. He knows his magic (energy) is infinite, available at all times, and within him.

When we consider quantum physics has revealed nothing but energy exists, that everything we experience as real is a holographic image we've created and sustain with our magnificent consciousness, this fact should give us pause about how we limit ourselves and how we choose to experience our manifestations. We created them for our own purpose of experiencing them. Shouldn't we appreciate each as the miracle it is and dive into discovering what it offers to us? Everything we do is aimed at expanding who we are, our true nature, whether we realize it consciously or not. We might as well be conscious about it and make the most of each opportunity.

Do you want more money, love, success? Fine; but consider pursuing or manifesting anything from the perspective of being your own Merlin self. Be captivated with your abilities rather than the results.

A key thought that came to me: I engage my true nature to the degree I embrace it.

If you embrace your true nature as the consciousness in all things, how might you engage your life experiences differently?
