What to do while you are waiting | Bridge of events | The dark period

The question is…

How do you keep the faith while you are waiting for your manifestation?

How do you believe?

Well first off, waiting is a handbrake on your life, so instead of waiting you need to have something to do. Secondly, this is not a religion so no, you don’t need to believe. Believing is not material to manifesting and this is a remnant from our religious pasts, whatever religion you are coming from, and somehow this has spilled over into LOA, but it has no home here, and there is no need for belief, so good news for all of those of you  who are having a hard time believing!

The best thing you can do hands down while you’re waiting for your manifestations is to keep learning. Read some Neville Goddard every day, even if you have read it all before, just start over and re-read it again, this reinforces your belief if you feel like you need it, and more importantly it reinforces your understanding of this law. Other things to do, is enjoy your life, go to coffee shops, meet new people, start writing a book, become skilled at beading necklaces, join a WOW group, learn charcoal drawing, take voice classes over Zoom, learn how to balance a budget, start a side gig company, start a blog,  become fit, learn mindfulness, watch documentaries, become a poet, learn a new sport….I hope you are starting to get the idea. Keep busy and do things that you find entertaining or enriching. There is no waiting here. There is even a Doctor Seus book about the waiting period, and the verdict is this, waiting sucks. It is a perfect opportunity to do just about anything BUt wait. Taking your mind off your anticipated manifestations is the best thing you can do for yourself, you know you are not supposed to watch the kettle or it never boils.  

The part about belief is just nonsense, you don’t need to believe and you don’t even need to “vibrate” the right way, although yes, alignment helps, but it isn’t even remotely a requirement. Some of that depends on where you are coming from and where you are going, and how big of a leap you are taking, but basically, if you can pull off a neutral and slightly positive state you are doing great. Beliefs are for church, and methods and doing the work is for LOA. Do your methods every day, do your revisions and do your intending, do your imaginal scenes and skip the belief if it is hard for you, just remember the handing off all actionable steps that you can not take. What that means is, take appropriate actions as your life demands of you, but don’t go out there trying to manipulate or finagle things into place, because it doesn’t work. Everytime you want to take an action that makes no sense, just calm down, and do a revision instead.

The bridge of events, that middle gap where “nothing” is happening is where people throw in the towel and say  -It didn’t work! It can feel like a dark, weird process, where you are becoming increasingly more uncomfortable with the old state, you dislike it more and more. It is sort of like growing from a child into an adult, those teenage years are so awkward and you no longer identify as a child but you are definitely not an adult either.  You might go back and forth from feeling like a child to feeling like a grown up. The bridge of events can feel a lot like that. Some falling back into old thinking, and some revelations and changes in your mindset. This period is usually filled with circumstances that you just don’t like, and this again, is a perfect time to perfect your skills, to learn more, study Neville more, do the techniques more frequently, basically don’t give up and don’t react. Depending on what kind of a leap you are making, it can feel more or less disturbing, anxiety causing, or just weird, but this is the time to keep applying the methods.

In a nutshell, keep busy, don’t  worry about belief, and keep applying methods, and soon you’ll see your manifestations come through.

Who knows what you are imagining? No one knows, but you can sit down and imagine, and no one can stop you from doing it, but can you give reality to the imagined state? If you do, yes, a bridge of incidents will appear in your world, and you’ll walk across some series of events leading up to the fulfillment of the imaginal state. But don’t give causation to any physical step that you took towards the fulfillment of it.
