What if we can't focus for long?

[AnthroHeart]

The stuff I've been trying to achieve has involved hours of focusing.
Over days or weeks or even months, an hour or more each day.

Such as trying to feel the love of the Universe consistently.

What can we do if our mind just wanders through the day,
and we can't really focus for hours and hours like we need to?

Does the magic just not work then?

My reistance is so strong to things, that to change my programming
requires a lot of mental focusing.

I'm just "allowing" and surrendering in order to let the loving dominant nature of the Universe take over
by releasing resistance.

There has been negativity that has come up, and yes I've kind of brushed that aside.
I'm not afraid of clowns, but I keep seeing creepy ones with ugly teeth in my mind.
Like an evil IT. Ever since I saw a horror movie.

So looks like I've got some shadow work to do.

I do feel the Universe's love a little bit, but I want to reach the max love I can handle.

I was using energy shifting, by tuning into the Universe itself. At least the parts I am in vibration to.

And there's conflict with my mom and money.

So now I go and allow all things to be.

One practices concentration and focus in meditation! It’s not going to be easy, but you will increase your capacity to focus and concentrate.

Dont be discouraged, my friend!

This whole "manifestation thing" as well as affirmations and re-programming is very often viewed only superficially!

We are manifesting ALL THE TIME!
It's just that we dont like what we manifest and so we seperate from it: "I did not manifest this, why should I?"
That "attitude" however puts us in a powerless position.
As long as we cannot acknowledge the fact that we manifested everything in our lifes, we cannot access our position of power or authority.
We ban what we dont like into the subconsciousness.

Then we have a conflict between our conscious wishes and our subconscious drives.
When there is a conflict between conscious and subconscious drives, the subconsciousness always wins. This is because usually only a few percent, maybe 5%, are conscious, the remaining 95% percent are unconscious.

So I recommend two steps:

1) taking full responsibility for everything that is inside and outside of you. Not in order to change it, but to realize what is your own influence!
Otherwise we feel powerless, since we believe there are things manifesting against our will!
2) find out step by step, what the counterforce wants. More often than not, the counterforce represents something very desirable, we just dont realize it. When you can "see" it, you will totally understand.

Then usually, but not before, you can find a solition that works for you. You wont need much focus anymore, because the counterforce is not working against you anymore.

Viewed from the outside it is often very obvious

Do you want me to give you a hint?

You gave quite good information. The "viewed from the outside" is probably something about my attitude.
Maybe I'm easy to read. But I look forward to anything you see in me that is holding me back.

I don't think the counterforce wants my fear, which would be like opposite to what I desire. Sometimes I think of this counterforce as being opposite to what I want daily.
But that isn't so.

Maybe it wants me to be happy with wherever I am, no matter what I have. That way when I get what I want I am still happy.

If I have missed the mark, yes, do give me a hint. Though it could be having an inner stillness.

My fears are definitely coming out more, and I'm just allowing them to be. They're mostly creepy things.

I like your advice Aqua.

You can focus on your 3rd eye with your eyes closed to increase attetion span

Or on the sounds happening around you, you'll be surprised at how many things are happening when you start paying attention. I like to imagine my awareness expanding as I listen to these far out sounds.

1.  It may feel like you're staying put, but to go through the cleansing really is to make progress, regardless of the mental discomfort.

2.  The mental wandering can be a defense mechanism, protecting you from stuff you've been hiding from yourself.  The best response may simply be gratitude, followed by patience.  I know this is easier to say than to do, but this transit will end at some point and when it does you'll likely feel better about it then if you lubricate the process now with gratitude and appreciation for all the help you are calling in.

I know it may sound like I'm asking you to pretend that things feel better than they do, but it's more like reaching deeper inside to find a place of faith in the overall process and a place of knowing your own worth.
