Well, hello, friends! And welcome, ...once again ...this week and every week to Legal Biz Cafe. I'm very excited that you're here. …Attorney Shaune B Arnold here with you today. 

We are in the process of talking about manifesting. And we're talking about manifesting in your business, but really we're talking about manifesting in your business ... and in your personal life. 

We started out by sharing some cutting-edge NLP techniques that show us how we like to perceive information. This understanding allows us to also understand how other people like to perceive information. With this wisdom, we can communicate with other people much more clearly.

The last time we got together, we actually talked about Robert McAfee's book Manifesting for Non-Gurus. I like this book because it talks about how to quickly and easily attract lasting results. I like the framework that McAfee gives us, where we talk about manifesting, in terms of who we are at our core. We talked about our core self and the roles that we play in society.

We discussed evaluating our skills and talents and all of the contributions we bring to our corner of the world. We then explored how all of those facets of ourselves collectively play into how we understand and believe who we are and what we want.

And of course, …what we want is a change from whatever is there at this time. 

And so by making that change, we're really intending to attract something new. McAfee reminds us that it's important to select an intention that is in alignment with our beliefs about who we are. In this way, our success and our failure with this approach is going to ultimately be measured by whether we achieve the results that we intend, or something even better!

I really love the setup that McAfee gave us in Manifesting for Non-Gurus. It's a small book. You might want to pick it up...

I want to turn now to talk about some of the teachings of Neville Goddard. He's a bit Judeo Christian in his thinking. …I like the way that he talks about consciousness.

You heard me say last time that consciousness is the one and only reality. Neville Goddard then teaches us this truth sets us free. And this truth is the also the foundation of a lot of biblical literature, which is beyond our purposes today, but he does link consciousness to the law of creation, and I think that's really interesting for all of us.

Goddard shares the key to the law of creation. It’s to feel the presence of the thing desired, …to subjectively actualize a state by impressing that state upon yourself through feeling the definiteness of that conscious state. 

That is the secret of creation. In biblical terms, believe the things that be not as though they were.

In other words, use your imagination to feel as if you already have the thing that you want. Feel as though it is done. You are going to start a new business. It is done. You are going to fix your spending habits, or some other personal issues that might be going on that are stopping you from either building or fixing your business.

You can use the law of creation to feel the presence of that new state that you want to be in. It may feel a little inauthentic at first because you ARE using your imagination. However, stick with the technique of acting as if your desired situation really exists. You will achieve a definite conscious state of creation. And I think that's beautiful. I really do.

The secret here, according to Neville Goddard, is to really disengage from and transcend your present circumstances, while in a meditative state, the all-important Alpha state. He suggests we disengage from our present rat-race state and cleave unto the new, desired state until the desired state seems real.

Faith becomes key here, right? The knowledge of how the invisible becomes visible has to be applied in order for manifestation to work. In other words, you have to act as if you know that you know the universe is going to manifest what you desire.

The notion is that if you intend it, if you truly intend that which you desire, then you're going to start doing things that are in alignment with that intention and that desire. 

So, you're going to manifest whatever it is that you're looking for. Are you looking for a business partner? Are you looking to get funding for your business? Whatever it is, the secret, according to a number of people that are business leaders, is really in meditation.

The secret is really in disengaging from your present state, where fear controls, where uncertainty controls, where failure, or at least the memory of your past failure, controls and catapulting yourself into a new state of mind, into a new state of being. You just cleave unto that desired state, until faith then kicks in and it seems real, and you start to act in accordance with that which seems real.

When you consistently act in accordance with reality as you perceive it, then all you can do is manifest your dream, right? Yes, do this by seeing your dream, …really seeing your dream …in its natural time and place.

In other words, if you want something to happen at Christmas, then you can actually astral pro-ject your energy to that time, even if it's spring. You can do this on Sunday if you want something to happen on Thursday. 

Meditate and see it happening in its natural time and place, even though the realization of that desire is not going to happen until, say, Christmas, and this is spring.

An example of this would be seeing yourself in a wonderful home by Thanksgiving, and you're living in an apartment environment. You don't even have a real estate broker, but you see yourself in a home by Thanksgiving.

You will find that quantum physics and the natural laws of psychology and human behavior take over. 

This manifesting thing just really is not all that mystical. It comes down to what you think and believe about what’s possible for you. That leads you to where you spend your time and attention. What you think about, you bring about. That's what you're going to manifest in your personal life and in your business. So these are some techniques that you can really use immediately to concentrate on freeing your spirit build your business.

Focus on creating those circumstances in your business. Manifest the business partners and the money, the board of directors, and all of the things that you need in place in order to really have a successful business. …Because, you know, it can't be all about you, right? That's right. 

So, folks, that's manifestation for your business and for your life. Of course, the topic is a lot more extensive, but I wanted to just have this basic conversation with you about being aware of how you're perceiving information through your five senses. How when 11 million bits come at you, you're only going to be able to consciously process about 126 of those bits at any one moment. Through distortion, deletion and generalization you make a choice of which 126 bits you choose to process. This focus defines your reality.

You process the bits through your internal representation system and generate a picture of what you think is happening in the outside world. You then filter that picture using your meta programs, which are based on your culture, gender, race, national identity and so many other things. Then, for better or worse, you act. This is why two people can stand side-by-side, watching the same scenario, and see the situation completely differently.
