The willingness to be helped (07.03.2008)
When we look at the experience of being incarnate on this planet at this very time, then we can see that there are billions of people on the planet at this time. We can also look at society and notice that so much of what is around us has been built and designed by other people. Much of what we may take for granted has originated through the help of others. If you look at the material possessions you've enjoyed in your life, and ask yourself how many of them you've built or even invented, then the answer is rather unlikely to equate to 100%. We live in a state of connectedness. Not just in terms of energy, but also on an interpersonal level.
In regards to manifesting, it can be said that the big majority of manifestations come about through the help of other people. We are all constantly helping each other from a subconscious level , and this means that if our subconscious levels agree with it, we are helping others with the manifestation of their intentions. What 'agree' means is that two conditions need to be met in order for someone to help another person from a subconscious level; not even being aware that this is what they are doing: One is that the energy of the 'helping person' is of a certain configuration to allow their helping someone else, and the other is that the energy of whomever is being helped needs to allow the manifestation of their intention.
But generally, we are all constantly potentially helping each other by responding to everyone else's energy from a subconscious level. All that i needed is for us to have the energy of having achieved what we want, and when that is the case then we'll automatically draw towards us any people who may help us most effectively regarding the achievement of that intention.
One thing can block this potential help though, and that is quite simply how we can resist being helped. If we want to be independent and capable of getting things done on our own, then that's alright. But it's not necessarily a contradiction to be both independent and open to the helping hand of others.
The state of being of someone who experiences both may be one in which they consider themselves to be capable of achieving what they want to achieve, with no help from any specific person required, while also being open to the help of others. And that's the key. We need to be willing to be helped to manifest most effectively, because most manifestations involve other people's help in some way or another. And in a slightly ironic way, the more we are willing to be helped by others, the more likely we are to access true independence. Because what does it mean to be independent after all? It means something like being able to experience the life you want when you want it, and if you are willing to be helped by people, then you are most likely to do so. And it is so because other people's help is what completes much of the manifestation process.
