You Always Get What You Ask For
The universe we live in and everything in it is subject to
certain laws. One of those laws is that you always get what
you ask for. "Ask and you shall receive", "knock on the door
and it will be opened to you", and numerous other words of
wisdom throughout the ages have expressed this law. If this
law is true, then why don't we always get what we want? Once
you understand the mechanism of the law of asking then the
answer will be clear.
To understand this law we need to have a model for the
process of asking and receiving. The elements of this model
are given different names in different religions and
philosophies and so I am going to use labels here that I
think will be the most effective across the board. If you
have a particular religious belief then please feel free to
replace my labels with your own.
Firstly let's look at the questions of "who are we asking?"
and "who is giving us what we asked for?"
This source of all providing is what most religions refer to
as God. But what of the atheists? How can they tap into this
power and still hold their beliefs. I could write several
books on this topic but I think it is simpler here just to
refer to it as the Pool of All Possibilities.
This Pool of All Possibilities is where everything in the
universe originates from and everything in the universe
remains in perfect contact with the Pool. That includes you
and me. We do this through what I will refer to as the
spiritual mind.
Psychologists, for the purpose of convenience, commonly
refer to the various functions of the mind as each belonging
to one of two groups; the conscious mind or the subconscious
mind. However it makes more sense to include a third
category; the spiritual mind.
The conscious mind is the part of your mind that you are
aware of. It is where you live your "material life". It is
where you express your ideas, joys, sorrows and desires. It
is in the conscious mind that you set your goals. Your
conscious mind then hands those goals to your subconscious
mind.
Your subconscious mind has a very tricky job. It has to work
out, from what your conscious mind gives it, what you really
want. Why it this so difficult. It is because what the
conscious mind "says" it wants is very often contradictory.
One day we say we want one goal then another day we change
our mind and want something completely different. We may set
a goal mentally yet our actions may be consistent with the
exact opposite goal. (Any attempted dieter knows this only
too well). The job of the subconscious is to weigh all this
information, all our thoughts, desires, and actions, and
then come to a conclusion as to what we actually want. Once
it has done this it passes the information to the spiritual
mind.
The function of the spiritual mind is to communicate
directly with the Pool of All Possibilities. It takes what
the subconscious hands to it and it asks the Pool to provide
it. Then the Pool gives us exactly what was asked for. (How
this is accomplished is a discussion for another time.) This
is the meaning of "Ask and you shall receive".
So you see that you may be expressing a particular desire at
the conscious level, but by the time the subconscious weighs
up all your other thoughts and actions what your spiritual
mind asks for (and receives) may be very different indeed.
The solution to this dilemma is simple. May sure that your
thoughts and actions are consistent with the goals you set.
If you do this then the message with be passed through loud
and clear and you will get back exactly what you desire.
Clarity, consistency and congruency are the pillars that
support success.
