The Three Steps
There are three steps in the Creative Process. The first step is: ask for what you want. You can ask with your words, but your asking is really happening on a vibrational level.
The second step is: answer the request. That’s not your job; that is the job of Source Energy and Universal Forces. Law of Attraction (That which is like unto itself is drawn.) is the manager of that. But that answer always comes, and it always comes swiftly and accurately and precisely, and fully in the moment of your asking.
“When you ask, it is always given, now,” surprises many people, because they say, “Can’t be right. I know, I’ve been asking, and my stuff has not shown up yet.” And we say, that’s because you are unaware of your job in the third step.
Focus on The Third Step
And the third step is: you must be in the receiving mode of what you’re asking for. You have to be a vibrational match to your own desire, or, in this vibrationally based Universe, you’re not letting it in. Usually, the asking is born where your vibration is not pure. So, in the middle of the asking, you are rarely in the receiving mode.
We think the thing that confuses so many of you, is that you think you are asking with your words, and when you ask with your words, if the answer is coming, it should come right now, and it should be in a form that you could recognize. And when it doesn’t come right now, in the middle of your asking, you assume that something has gone wrong. And we say, nothing is wrong. You’re just in step one. When you get in step three, you’ll let it in.

In your anxiety, anger, blame, or guilt, you are not in the receiving mode.

So, as you are moving through your day and you notice that you have more desire or need for money than you actually have money, and you have this conflicting feeling, where you want to spend it for that, but you should spend it for this, and even if you do pay it where it belongs, there’s not enough to really go around in the way that you are wanting it to. And in this frustrating moment of weighing the pros and cons of your experience, you have asked in a very powerful way. But the answer, even though it’s given, is not received, because you are more aware of not having enough money than you are of having enough money. In your frustration, in your anger or blame or guilt, in your awareness of not enough money, you are not in the receiving mode for enough money, so more money can’t come, not right now.
Why Isn’t It Here?
You’ve asked. Source Energy hears you clearly, adores you fully, and answers swiftly. So the answer is not just on the way — it is given. The money should be there now. Why isn’t it? Because you’re ornery. You’re worried. You’re frustrated. You’ve got your receiver set to a whole different channel.
And so, even though the circumstances are lined up, everything’s there for you — you’re zigging while your stuff is zagging. Your request is fully answered, but you have just been confused about step one and step three.
Is it wrong for you to launch your desires from a place of negative emotion? Certainly not. It’s what this contrasting Universe is all about. The only thing that is going wrong, if anything is going wrong, and nothing is really going wrong; but in the way you mean something is going wrong, is: once you launch a desire, if you do not soon become a vibrational match to what you want, you’re going to hold yourself apart from it until you do.
