Love is a many splendid thing, but it is NOT something concrete – nor is Will, Reason or Imagination. Yet we’ve all experienced these insubstantial (yet very foundational) things.
We’ve all felt love for a person, place or thing. We’ve all willed ourselves out of bed. And we’re always Reasoning… “Is it better to do thing A or thing B?”
In general, none of these intangibles can be weighed on a scale, held in our hands or seen with our eyes. But they are no less real than the frozen tundra of Greenland, a fig leaf or the elephant in the room. I am sure you get the picture – right?
Yet because they are unseen they always seem to be neglected. There just never is a good time to examine the weight of them on our lives. Or the unlimited possibilities of holding them in our consciousness. Or to experiment with them to see how they can help us manifest a better life for ourselves.
For me, when I caught wind that I could intentionally make muscular my ability to see and fortify Love or Intuition — insert your desired intangible here — it felt exactly like walking on the moon! What a strange and beautiful place to be, but how do I navigate? At first, in this unfamiliar place I was unable to grasp things with my goofy large gloves and only able to breath from my own limited supply of recirculated air. And I was sure the tank would run out sooner or later. Then I started to take a walk out into the unknown.
Now, after some time playing with these ideas, the gloves have come off. I am untethered! I am examining “the thing” I want from every angle. How do I feel about it? What do I believe. Why do I believe what I believe? Is this belief of mine really true?

This helps me form a clearer picture of what I want and what I do not want. And from this place IT IS EASY to hold in my consciousness exactly the effect I want to show up in my life. And damn it if I don’t see real evidence of my most heartfelt desires right in front of these new eyes of mine. They may not be in the form, color or shape I pictured but they are just what I ordered!
The trick I found was in not planning how, but just holding the result in mind and more importantly feeling how I would feel when my intangible showed up. Then, having refined it, just let it go.
This takes some practice. I’ve had to renegotiate within a different gravitational pull. But now -that I sort of have the hang of it – the air is less rare and my tank is always full!
What new thing will you try today?
