The Magic of Focus

I always say that magic is just science that's poorly understood. So what's the "science" behind the incredible manifestation magic of simple mental and emotional focus?

Well first note that I said "mental AND emotional focus." Too often people think of focus only in terms of mental concentration. That's incredibly important, particularly because what we're thinking about tends to have a very powerful effect on how we feel, but by itself it isn't enough.

The level that manifestation is really coming from is the level of how we're sort of vibrating, our resonant frequency, if you will.

To dig more deeply into what is meant by that, consider one definition of "resonance."

Intensification and prolongation of sound, especially of a musical tone, produced by sympathetic vibration.... Resonance frequencies are the natural frequencies at which it is easiest to get an object to vibrate.

Why we tend to get the same results again and again

To translate these physics terms into manifestation terms, whatever is your natural frequency, the one you vibrate at most often and without having to even think about it, that's what is amplifying like vibrations around you. It's also what most easily gets amplified in you by others, even when you're trying to cultivate a specific vibe.

You're getting more of what you're putting out, because you're amplifying precisely that note in everyone around you and most easily picking up on that note in others.

The Implications

What we want of course is to get more of what we want and less of what we don't want. In order for that to happen, we need to attune our vibration to feelings that match the things we want.

How do you know what your current vibration is and whether you need corrective "vibration work?" Well what do you have? Whatever you have and however that feels, THAT'S your current vibration.

If you want something different, you're going to need to focus it into existence.

By "focus" I mean you're going to have to make concentrated effort at achieving the vibe you want and not continuing to increase the vibe you don't want more of. How?

1. Improve your powers of concentration with something like concentration meditation practice (counting from 1 to 10 repeatedly, or counting breaths, or staring at a point in the sky).
2. Become really attuned to noticing how your thoughts are making you feel and understanding what feelings go with the things you want in your life. Until you have the ability to discern this, there is no way you can progress with the next step.
3. Commit yourself to using that concentration to focus on thoughts that bring good feelings and redirect your mind away from thoughts that bring discordant feelings. (Yes, while you're in this retraining period you are going to have to give up the idea of improving anything using your intellect. The good news is that you can be used as a part of things improving without your intellect having to direct it. Your intuition is actually better at the job. But you'll sacrifice THE IDEA of how important you are to the cause, whatever cause that might be. Don't worry; it's only temporary while you work on cultivating a different default vibe.)

That's it. It's that simple to use your power of focus to more easily attract people, situations, and events that lead to your life filling up with feelings you really want to be feeling. With that tends to go the things and experiences that you want, because the reason you want any of that is because you believe it's going to make you feel good. It all just flows together, as a self-reinforcing system that cycles on and on, with one good thought and feeling after another.

Eventually you'll get so that even when you do need to rendezvous with situations, people or things that are extremely unfavorable, you'll still just naturally maintain a good mood. You may notice that previously it would bother you, but it just doesn't anymore. You'll find amusement (or at least peace) in the misfortunes of life, as you simply focus on doing what must be done to address the situation at hand.

This is emotional mastery, and with it comes a type of manifestation mastery too. When you can maintain your good vibe even when all hell is coming at you, it's just a matter of time before you get to milk the blessing out of even the bitterest medicine. Then even "bad" things have a tendency to directly lead to even better things than ever before. And that's a darned good life.
