How To Manifest Your Desires

WITH so vast a subject, it is indeed a difficult task to summarize in a few hundred words what I consider the – most basic ideas on which those who seek a true understanding of metaphysics should now concentrate. I shall do what I can in the shape of three fundamentals. These fundamentals are: Self-Observation, Definition of Aim, and Detachment. ... The purpose of true metaphysics is to bring about a rebirth or radical psychological change in the individual. Such a change cannot take place until the individual first discovers the self that he would change. This discovery can be made only through an uncritical observation of his reactions to life. The sum total of these reactions defines the individual's state of consciousness, and it is the individual's state of consciousness that attracts the situations and circumstances of his life. ... Having discovered, through an uncritical observation of your reactions to life, a self that must be changed, you must now formulate an aim. That is, you must define the one you would like to be instead of the one you truly are in secret. ... The purpose of practicing detachment is to separate us from our present reactions to life and attach us to our aim in life. This inner separation must be developed by practice.

True metaphysics aims for psychological rebirth. This requires three fundamentals: 1) Self-Observation: Uncritically observe reactions to life to discover one's current state of consciousness, which creates reality. 2) Definition of Aim: Clearly define the desired self or state of consciousness. 3) Detachment: Practice inner separation from undesirable reactions and current states, and attach to the defined aim by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
