- 
Desire is something that springs forth 
- 
from your life experience. 
- 
It's not even something 
 that you have to think about,
 
- 
it's something that takes place on a
 subconscious and a conscious level.
 
- 
When desire springs forth within us, 
- 
we desire to see that manifest physically. 
- 
The conscious creation 
- 
and subsequent physical manifestation 
 of whatever it is that we want
 
- 
is a big part of physical life. 
- 
Disclaimer (pause to read): 
- 
Take Action! 
- 
The process of manifestation takes place 
- 
on both a non-physical 
 and a physical level.
 
- 
In other words, 
 the process of manifestation
 
- 
happens on a mental level, 
- 
happens on an emotional level, 
- 
happens on an energetic level, 
- 
happens on what we would call 
 "a vibrational level",
 
- 
but it also happens on a physical level. 
- 
And this is the level that most people 
 completely leave out or forget.
 
- 
In other words, 
 people forget that action
 
- 
is such a huge part of manifestation. 
- 
They also forget that action 
- 
is a big part of what they came 
 to this physical life to participate in.
 
- 
Something very important 
 to understand about life
 
- 
is that it doesn't matter 
 how much information you have,
 
- 
if you don't apply it. 
- 
It doesn't matter how much mental 
 and emotional processing you do
 
- 
if you never make a change. 
- 
It doesn't matter 
 how much you want something,
 
- 
if you never take action
 towards what you want.
 
- 
So many people fall into this trap 
- 
of using their spiritual practice, 
- 
and yes this includes self-help 
- 
and self-development 
 techniques or practices,
 
- 
in order to separate from 
 their physical life,
 
- 
to withdraw from it, 
- 
even to completely escape from it, 
- 
rather than to use 
 their spiritual practice
 
- 
or self-development practice 
- 
in order to enhance their physical life. 
- 
So many people fall into the trap 
 of learning more
 
- 
and more and more 
- 
and doing more and more mental
 and emotional spiritual processes,
 
- 
they imagine that what they want 
 will somehow spontaneously
 
- 
appear on their doorstep. 
- 
That it will require no change, 
 movement or action on their part.
 
- 
But this erases one of the main purposes 
- 
for being incarnated into 
 a physical body,
 
- 
in the first place. 
- 
Unless you have resistance 
 to things like changing,
 
- 
to things like moving, 
 to things like taking action...
 
- 
those things are part of 
 what feels so joyful
 
- 
about life itself, 
- 
it's part of the thrill 
 of being physically manifested.
 
- 
By learning things, 
- 
by becoming more aware, 
- 
by figuring yourself out 
 on an emotional and mental level,
 
- 
by visualizing 
- 
so as to bring yourself
 into alignment vibrationally
 
- 
with whatever it is that you're wanting, 
- 
you are making it so that you create 
- 
such a strong point of attraction, 
- 
that all people, places, things, 
 circumstances, events and resources
 
- 
that are perfectly in alignment 
- 
with you attaining 
 that thing that you desire,
 
- 
are coming to you. 
- 
But you still have to take action. 
- 
Another way of saying this 
 is that you need to allow
 
- 
the more non-physical
 things that you do
 
- 
to compel you towards taking action 
- 
in the direction of what you're wanting. 
- 
It doesn't matter if you know 
 that you need exercise
 
- 
and that exercise is critical
 for your physical,
 
- 
mental and emotional health, 
- 
if you keep coming up with excuses 
- 
to not actually 
 take action and exercise.
 
- 
It doesn't matter 
 if you want a romantic relationship,
 
- 
and keep doing visualizations 
 in order to manifest one,
 
- 
if you commit all your action 
 to working from home
 
- 
and watching tv series 
 in your apartment alone.
 
- 
It doesn't matter if you do 
 all the shadow work in the world
 
- 
to realize that your parents 
 acted and still act in a way
 
- 
that's counterproductive 
 to your progression,
 
- 
if you keep on living with them 
 in their home.
 
- 
It doesn't matter if you want to be
 financially free
 
- 
and learn all about finances 
- 
and know that you have to 
 start to save up
 
- 
and spend your money on things 
 that make you money,
 
- 
if you keep piling up stuff 
 you don't need in your house
 
- 
and living from paycheck to paycheck. 
- 
It doesn't matter if you read 
 every book there is to read
 
- 
and watch every tutorial 
 there is to watch on surfing,
 
- 
if you never go out into the ocean, 
 rent a surfboard
 
- 
and paddle out to get on an actual wave. 
- 
Your physical actions must align 
 with what you are wanting
 
- 
in order for manifestation 
 to be assisted by you
 
- 
instead of prevented by you. 
- 
If you are unwilling 
 to actually do something
 
- 
like change, move or take action, 
- 
you're making it much harder 
 for the universe to line you up with
 
- 
or allow you to converge with 
- 
those people, places, circumstances, 
 events and resources
 
- 
that essentially bring 
 what you are wanting
 
- 
into a state of physical fruition. 
- 
Not only that, 
- 
if you are unwilling
 to actually do something
 
- 
whether it's change or move 
 or take some action,
 
- 
you're making it very hard 
 for the universe to use you
 
- 
if you are a necessary ingredient 
- 
in somebody else's 
 manifestation of their desire.
 
- 
Action, or let's call it, inspired action 
- 
is naturally meant to arise 
- 
as a byproduct
 of changing your perception
 
- 
of gaining new information. 
- 
But sometimes this does not occur. 
- 
And what a lot of people don't know is 
- 
if this does not occur, 
- 
it makes your life worse, not better. 
- 
it's a common assumption 
 that most people make
 
- 
that if you do enough mental 
 and emotional processing,
 
- 
or if you just know everything 
 you can possibly know,
 
- 
your life will somehow
 spontaneously get better,
 
- 
but here's something 
 I never want you to forget:
 
- 
if you plan on not making a change, 
- 
not moving and not taking action, 
- 
in fact, committing yourself 
 to things like awareness,
 
- 
to learning more, 
- 
to doing mental emotional processing 
- 
but making no change as a result of it, 
- 
your life will get much worse; 
- 
much worse than it was before. 
- 
In other words,
 if you plan on not taking action
 
- 
you would actually do better off 
 just positively focusing on what is.
 
- 
For example, 
- 
imagine that there's a woman 
 who's in an abusive relationship;
 
- 
if she gains more awareness, 
- 
she will become aware 
 of just how abusive her environment is.
 
- 
If she starts to heal 
 on a mental and emotional level,
 
- 
she will become more and more aware 
 of what her needs actually are.
 
- 
If she focuses on what she wants 
- 
i.e a safe relationship, 
- 
the distance between where she is 
 and what she wants will get bigger.
 
- 
If she takes no physical action 
 to change the relationship
 
- 
or to exit it in search of a new one, 
- 
being in it and staying the same 
- 
will get more and more painful. 
- 
She will feel more and more unsafe, 
- 
more and more deprived of her needs, 
- 
and emotionally worse and worse 
- 
because the gap between herself 
 and what she's wanting
 
- 
will grow and grow 
- 
until she reaches a point 
 of total desperation.
 
- 
it is critical to understand that if you
 do not take actual physical action
 
- 
based off of the things you learn,
 the awareness you gain
 
- 
and emotional and mental 
 healing that you do,
 
- 
your life will get worse, not better. 
- 
All the forces that be 
- 
will be pulling you in the direction
 of what you want
 
- 
like an unassailable current, 
- 
and you will be turned upstream
 against that current.
 
- 
That's not gonna go very well for you. 
- 
This is what suffering is all about. 
- 
Suffering is what happens 
 when we have already desired
 
- 
something more, something else... 
- 
and yet, for one reason or another, 
- 
we are holding ourselves in what is; 
- 
we are "staying" in the way it is, 
- 
in the unwanted. 
- 
When we do this, 
- 
we are preventing our own expansion, 
- 
and when we do this, 
- 
we are essentially inviting 
 the escalation of our pain,
 
- 
because when we're holding ourselves 
 apart from our own personal expansion,
 
- 
the universe can only escalate; 
- 
it can only take that heater 
 and turn up the heat.
 
- 
Hearing all of this, 
- 
it may benefit you 
 to think about what you want,
 
- 
and to ask yourself this question: 
- 
What is in the way of me taking action? 
- 
One of the main reasons 
 that people don't take action
 
- 
is because they're terrified 
 of making a change.
 
- 
This is very easily seen 
- 
when we know we need to make a change, 
- 
and we may even know exactly 
 what change we need to make
 
- 
and yet, we just can't 
 make ourselves do it.
 
- 
If you think it would benefit you 
 to understand this more in depth,
 
- 
watch my video titled: 
- 
The Real Reason Why People Don't Change 
- 
One common excuse 
 that I hear people giving
 
- 
for why they're not taking action
 or not making a change
 
- 
is because they just don't know 
 what action to take.
 
- 
When you're caught in this loop, 
- 
oftentimes what you're doing 
 is looking for a right action.
 
- 
So it's important to understand 
- 
that there's no one right action to take. 
- 
In other words, 
- 
it's not like the universe 
 is sitting here testing you
 
- 
to make sure whether or not 
- 
you know what 
 the exact right action is to take.
 
- 
People often think 
 there is some miracle action
 
- 
that will bring about what they want, 
- 
and they have to know 
 what that miracle action is,
 
- 
before taking any action. 
- 
This is not true. 
- 
No such thing exists. 
- 
There is no magic way, 
- 
even though every way ends up
 inevitably being magic.
 
- 
What there is is steps. 
- 
And anyone who brought about 
 anything through action,
 
- 
must take those steps 
- 
that are unique 
 to their own path of achievement.
 
- 
All this being said, 
- 
don't sit there and be passive, 
- 
don't be passive to finding out 
- 
what action steps 
 you could potentially take.
 
- 
This means, consult people 
 who might have a better idea
 
- 
of action steps you might take. 
- 
This also means, 
- 
look at the people 
 who already have manifested
 
- 
whatever it is that you 
 are currently wanting,
 
- 
and look back and try to identify, 
- 
or even ask them 
- 
what those steps were 
- 
that they took 
 to get to where they are today.
 
- 
Become an expert on the people 
 who already have what you want.
 
- 
And should you ever come up against
 an action step
 
- 
that no person has ever taken before, 
- 
don't be afraid to be a pioneer. 
- 
There always has to be somebody 
 who takes a step first,
 
- 
and maybe that person 
 is meant to be you.
 
- 
No matter what resistance 
 stands in the way
 
- 
of you taking action, 
- 
do whatever it takes 
 to resolve that resistance,
 
- 
because if you don't, 
- 
your life will be starved of results. 
- 
To wait for what you want 
 to happen to you,
 
- 
is a passive and powerless way to exist. 
- 
It is not how you meant 
 to come here and exist.
 
- 
Knowledge is power, 
- 
but that power is useless 
 if you don't translate it to action.
 
- 
Motivation is useless 
 unless you take action on it.
 
- 
This means act on what you come to know. 
- 
Act to bring about what you want. 
- 
After all, in the physical, 
- 
knowledge without application,
 is incomplete.
 
- 
Just like visualization without action,
 is incomplete.
 
- 
It's like an in-breath
 without an out breath.
 
- 
Have a good week.

- 
But I want to personally thank you 
 for taking the initiative
 
- 
and having the bravery 
 to step into the space of awareness
 
- 
not only for yourself, 
 but for the benefit of those around you.
