The Inside Scoop on the Alchemy of

 “ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE”

You want it. You know you do. So ask!

Why do we make it more difficult than it needs to be?

All the great religions talk about the Universal Principle of, “Ask and you shall receive.” It’s also fundamental to the Law of Attraction as well as the law of being human.

The concept is simple. Precise. The words are easy to understand intellectually.

Emotionally, not so much because our past conditioning comes into play. The Inner Critic of our adult mind fabricates the limiting ideas from our childhood all the time.

“Don’t be greedy.”

“You don’t deserve it.”

“She’s gonna’ say, “no.””

You gotta’ beg and plead to get what you want. So… “Please! Please! Please!”

“I don’t want to bother God. He’s busy enough as it is.”

Etcetera. You get my drift.

“Ask and You Shall Receive” is one of the Basic Principles of Unconditional Love that I talk about in the book, “How to Make the Most of Your Earth Experience (14 Principles for Living Unconditional Love).” It goes into greater detail about how Unconditional Love flows and manifests, and why precision is so important.

The inside scoop on “ask and you shall receive” starts with a true story about a child.

You’ve probably witnessed something similar, no matter where in the world you live.

Like the little girl, we all learned tricks at an early age to get what we want from the powers-that-be.

What trick(s) did you learn as a child to get what you asked for?

Ask nicely?

Beg?

Wait in anticipation with fingers crossed?

Take it and the heck with the consequences?

Throw a tantrum?

Do good deeds in prepayment to build up advance-equity?

Wait your turn and hope against all hope that your luck doesn’t run out before the goods do?

Whisper it and hope you were heard?

Not even ask because what was the use anyway?

Pretend it wasn’t important and ask with a careless shrug of your shoulders?

Grab it and run?

Logically present your case?

Fake giving love to lure one into saying yes?

Play one parent against the other?

Skirt around the issue and hope someone figured it out?

Or…?

The list goes on for as long as creativity exists in young minds.

As we grow older, our tricks become more sophisticated. But they’re tricks just the same. It’s no wonder we have such a hard time wrapping our head around a concept so simple, and profound, as the Principle of “ask and you shall receive”. We’ve been spoon fed the ideas of being powerless and having to resort to tricks to get what we want.

The adult dynamics of “ask and you shall receive” and the flow of Divine Light in response.

The kicker to the Principle of “ask and receive” is you’ve got to believe on deep emotional levels that whatever you ask for is possible. And you deserve it. Otherwise, you’ll subconsciously slow the process down, or even block it in some way.

Doubt and faith: Two key elements intertwined with the Principle of “ask and you shall receive.”

The first time I really took the time to contemplate the alchemy dance between asking and receiving was an eye-opener. As it turned out, I didn’t have it down pat like I’d thought. Doubt and faith were in there rockin’ and rollin’ like they owned the dance floor.

“If I had faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed,” I thought with an uprising sensation of anticipation and hope, “I could manifest miracles. That’s what he said, so…”

“But, wait a minute!” My doubt interjected. “Exactly how big is a mustard seed grain?”

I did some research.

Those boogers are teensy. I mean smaller than a chocolate inspired pimple.

“That’s not so big,” I thought. “Surely I have more faith than that?”

Once I uncovered it from under all the doubts that had buried it away deep inside my Being, it turns out I did. In fact, my Divine Soul knew it all along.

So how’d I get to where doubt wasn’t a factor in my ask-and-you-shall-receive dance with Divine Light Vibrations?

It was something my Teacher of thirty years ago told me.

She said…

“Practice the Presence of God as being equally everywhere present. You’ll start to have experiences that confirm this. Those experiences will teach you trust, which is much stronger than faith. Plus, your concept of God will evolve as you do.”

So I set about gaining experience through a lot of trail and error.

My concept of God deepened, became richer. That vague emotional idea of an old man in the sky—the one sporting a long white beard and banging his staff as he passes judgment like a crotchety-on-the-outside, loving-on-the-inside, grandfather figure—turned into so much more.

Then, holy camoli, amazing things started happening! What I’d once called miracles, became every-day normal. I wrote about some of them in the book “How to Make the Most of Your Earth Experience (14 Principles for Living Unconditional Love)”.

Once you have enough experiences in your pocket, the remembering, trusting, and allowing it to unfold becomes an emotional habit.

That’s when you get into the real juicy parts of life here on earth.

If you’ve been reading my articles, you’ve heard me describe the Unconditional Love of Divine Light Vibrations before. There’s a whole FAQ page on the basics. Still, it bears repeating to help your ego intellect grasp it on deeper levels.

The more you understand it emotionally, the less work it takes to focus the flow of Unconditional Love to manifest in the direction you truly want.

Here’s how the alchemy of “ask and you shall receive” works.

The act of “asking” opens up a new channel in your ego-intellect that directs the flow of Unconditional Love that’s already moving through you, ready to be directed into something new and concrete.

The act of “receiving” is all about your ego-intellect allowing Divine Light to manifest as you asked. You need to start receiving the experience right from the get-go for it to flow smoothly.

It then creates a domino effect.

You allow yourself new thoughts…

which transmit new vibrations…

which attract new circumstances…

because you’re open to them.

Since your brain synapses—the old pathways of conditioned thought—start to rearrange themselves into new pathways, you see the opportunities when they arise. You say “yes” to new experiences, and new outcomes happen.

Remember, Divine Light is Infinite and Unconditional. You’re the one who puts conditions on It!

The deeper you go into personal illumination, the easier it is for your ego-intellect to live the memory of how profoundly simple this is.

The article,  “Illumination, Divine Souls, and the Illusion of Duality (Separation)” goes into greater detail.

The book, “How to Make the Most of Your Earth Experience”  has simple Look…Let…Love action steps all the way through to reawaken you to this.

“Ask and you shall receive” is profoundly simple.

But it’s not always easy if you’re not practiced at it.

For some, to ask is the hard part.

*If you feel reluctant to ask at all, that comes from your ego-intellect’s struggle with worthiness issues. Your Inner Critic becomes very vocal at this point.

The Spiritual Transformation eJournal in the online course “Meet the Infinite You—8 Step Master Roadmap to Personal Freedom” helps you uncover where you learned to hold yourself back. You’re a multi-layered person so don’t hesitate to revisit the Spiritual Transformation eJournal again and again. Each time you do, you’ll be more prepared to go deeper into your heart of hearts.

The article List of Limiting Beliefs to Transform into Emotional Freedom can also help shed more light on the subject.

*If you don’t have a clue about what you want, that comes from not listening within, and not releasing the past conditioning that’s fogging up your perceptions of possibility. The Basic Activation of Divine Light Vibrations Guided Meditation v2.0 will help you with this.

*If you keep changing what you ask for (not refining, but actually changing), that comes from not being clear on what you want.

Again, you’re not listening within. Do the Basic Activation of Divine Light Vibrations Guided Meditation v2.0 more often. Try to refine your intention to let new vibrations of Unconditional Love activate within your Being. The more refined the vibrations in you, the more refined your thoughts become. The more refined your thoughts, the easier it is for Divine Light to manifest through them. The fillable PDF EJournal “Get What You Want Because You Can” will help you stay on track.

*If you ask, and then totally forget what you asked for, you didn’t really mean it emotionally. It’s time to make a decision if you really want it, or not. Then, make peace with the decision.

For most, to receive is the hard part.

Divine Light is constant. Precise. Unfailing.

So if what you want isn’t manifesting, that could come from one of three things (or a combination of all).

1. Your ego-intellect’s worthiness issues.

It’s time to remember that you are a Divine Soul having a human experience. You’re MORE than worthy and that’s just your Inner Critic doing the talking.

2. Your ego-intellect’s trust issues.

If trust issues are in play, it’s a matter of practice. Trial and error. When you learned to walk as a baby, you had to learn to trust your legs could carry you… that you would keep your balance… and how the earth would be a constant that you could depend upon without fail. It’s through that same kind of trial and error that you relearn to consciously use your inherent power as an adult. Use the lesson my teacher taught me over thirty years ago.

3. Your ego-intellect and subconscious are battling it out with your wants, not-wants, and limiting beliefs.

Revisit steps 4 and 5 of the online course, “Meet the Infinite You (8 Step Master Program to Personal Freedom)” . To help free you from the weight of it, pay closer attention to the exercises in the workbook.
