Ah, but that is exactly the key to manifestation. There is no contradiction.
The future desired state and the present that is happening now become one and the same. We "live" in the feeling of the end result.
Remember that the subconscious mind will create for us based on what it believes is an existing reality.
The outward "appearances" that seem to be our present is no longer our reality. It is the mirror, or reflection of past thoughts and feelings. And our new reality (future) will arrive to reflect our present thoughts and feelings - the inner state of consciousness.
Here is another way to possibly understand this. Let's say we are sitting in a movie theatre. The "present" so to speak is that we are sitting in the theatre with our companion and a room full of other theatregoers, watching activity on a screen, maybe munching popcorn (this would be analogous to the outer appearance - the so-called present state). But our consciousness is in a state of suspended disbelief and we are caught up in an entirely new state, completely engrossed in another "present," another existing reality (which is analogous to living in the end result). But instead of being on a movie screen out there, our new consciousness in which we are engrossed, is in "here" (our thoughts and feelings).
Still not easy to grasp? You're not alone.
This is the reason that the third lesson, not the first lesson, of Feel Free to Prosper, is called "Accept It Now" and relates to this aspect of the manifestation process. My Feel Free to Prosper lessons use a step by step process to allow the mind to become more receptive to accepting the new reality.
It's easy to say we should conjure up the feeling, etc, etc. but if it were that easy for the subconscious to accept, then everyone would be going to the seminars, reading the books, attending New Thought churches, watching The Secret - and walking about manifestating everything they want.
I don't believe that most people can live in the feeling of the end result until they have "tilled" the soil of the subconscious. So with Feel Free to Prosper, we first use the power of words to prepare our soil, then we move on to the different types of affirmations (and there are many) and after this preparation, the mind is now receptive to the feeling and imagery state - which is the heart of the manifestation process.
What I believe is different about my programs is that there is not a lot of analyzing, intellectualizing and philosophizing involved with the process. It's a matter of simply "doing the homework" - applying simple techniques that allow the mind to make the shift naturally. No need to even understand the workings behind the process.
We don't need to understand horticulture to get a fantastic garden. We just need to know how to plant our seeds and tend our garden with water and sunshine. In the manifestation process, we plant our seeds and water them with faith and expectation. We do not need to have one wit of knowledge about how the creative forces of the Universe move in and through those seeds to result in our flower or plant.
Jill, you are applying the I Create My Body program which is not the same as the Feel Free to Prosper program, although some aspects of ICMB are based on Lesson One.
Perhaps you will be drawn to the regular FFTP program to get more specific knowledge about your dilemma.
Does that help?
