How to Decide Whether to Take Action in the 3D?

This is a frequently asked question about manifesting: how do you decide when to take action in the physical reality, if at all? By action I mean, say you're manifesting winning the lottery, the physical action could be buying the ticket. Or if you want a new job, the action could be networking. 

What actions should you be taking and can you manifest your desires without taking any action at all?

Neville Goddard says: "You don't even have to lift a finger to manifest your desire." So what does he mean by this?

He means that it's not supposed to be a process of effort or hard work in the external, manifesting is an internal process. 

So this is true, sometimes no action at all is necessary depending on the situation. But there are times when you'll be inspired to take action, and you're supposed to because that's part of the bridge of events leading you to your desire, that's how the universe is orchestrating it. E.g. getting the sudden urge to call a friend out of the blue because you felt like it, and it turned out they had a job opportunity for you.

You can't "miss" taking the inspired action in my opinion since most times you don't even realize that it's part of your manifestation. Sometimes it is possible to talk yourself out of it temporarily, out of anxiety and letting your ego kick in, but I find that the universe ALWAYS steers you back on track as long as you're maintaining the internal state of the wish-fulfilled.

Your desire is yours, and whatever is meant to unfold to bring that to you will unfold eventually.

But aside from inspired action where you don't even realize you're taking action towards your desire, when you're consciously deciding what to do, in order to tell whether or not to take action, ask yourself:

1. If this is something that the version of you who already has your desire would do. Is this an action that THAT version of you would be proud to take? Does it align with the self-concept of that version of you?

2. Where the urge is coming from. Is it a space of trust/knowing that it's already done, and doing it because it feels aligned, or is it coming from a state of lack, desperation and anxiety, going out of your way to control/push the 3D? The state you take the action FROM, aka WHO you are being, affects the outcome. Because even if it IS something that the ideal version of you would do, if you take this same action from a state of lack as opposed to a state of already knowing internally that you have your desire, this is actually 2 different things, even if it looks the same!

E.g. Would you buy 100 lottery tickets out of fear that you need to do something in the 3D to make sure you win? Or would you just buy one and trust that it's enough because you KNOW you've got the winning ticket?

If you act from a state of trusting/knowing, your reality will validate your conviction. If you act from a state of fear/doubt, your reality will validate those fears and doubts. 

I'm intending that this post helped whoever was struggling with this question :)

If you need advice on:

• Whether or not to take a particular course of action,
• A specific manifestation you've been struggling with, or
• Want to know whether you're manifesting correctly, or have other manifestation questions
