Thanks for this quote, Tony.

The word "void" initially alarmed me when mentioned in NDE accounts. But, as I have found over the years and tried to summarise in the post STEs... and Physics (which can be found in my signature) I now look at it as a place alive with energy, possibly the intelligent field of energy Gregg Braden mentions in his research, which contributes to explaining why and how WE ARE ALL CONNECTED.

Thank you for quoting Gregg, Tony

I have also found that the idea that when we ask for something and that simply asking for it only gives power to that scarcity feeling and to the non-manifestation of what one needs is at the root of the Law of Attraction. On the other hand, the idea that feeling, through the power of positive creative imagination, the very feeling of what we wish to experience, so that our prayer becomes a prayer of thanks, is the key to manifesting what we would like to have (such as rain in this case) is equally at the root of the Law of Attraction.

In other words, I find that this story ties in with the Law of Attraction, which says that when we simply ask for something, we are acknowledging that we don't have it, and that gives power to the lack. But when we feel the feeling of what we wish to have, our prayer becomes a prayer of thanks, and through our thanks, we honour all possibilities and bring the ones we choose into the world.

I find that in the words by Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you”, the word “ask” is a source of confusion and I am glad that so many researchers and experiencers have sought to explain the difference between these two attitudes. I find that the word “faith” can also be a source of confusion when it stands for hope or wishful thinking.

I guess so, Tony. While I am not sure how things work once we are finally free from our body and brain, as long as our experience is filtered by the brain, as in the case of induced NDEs by Buddhist monks, it makes sense that their beliefs could shape their experiences. After all, our brains are constantly filtering and interpreting the world around us.

This story also suggests that gratitude is a powerful tool for manifesting what we want. When we are grateful for something, we are essentially sending out a signal to the universe that we believe we deserve it. And the more we believe we deserve something, the more likely we are to attract it into our lives.

The imaginative feelings mentioned by Gregg confirm they are a powerful tool for manifestation. When we imagine ourselves already having achieved our goals, we are essentially programming our brains to believe that they are already real. And the more we believe they are real, the more likely we are to intuitively take action to make them happen.

Based on my experience, creative imagination works in different ways for different people: some tend to visualize situations, for instance, others may obtain the same result through tactile imagination (such as with the rain), others simply have a general “knowing” about what they are about to manifest.

This is what I am hoping to work on in our Manifestation Workshop, in a positive sense of course.
