The Art of Fishing (Conscious Creation)

Step by step

1. Stop 'fishing for things' with external effort and struggle ('human bait').
2. Discover your awareness of being as 'Christ Jesus' (Lord and director of your fishing).
3. To 'launch out into deeper waters' (beyond present capacity), take your attention away from all current problems and limitations.
4. Dwell upon just being, silently repeating 'I AM' and feeling yourself to be, until you experience expansion of consciousness (slipping the anchor).
5. In this expanded, deep consciousness, FEEL yourself to be one with the things desired (e.g., 'I AM wealthy', 'I AM free', 'I AM strong').
6. Fix these 'feels' within yourself, becoming 'crucified' upon them and remaining 'buried' in their stillness.
7. Trust that these qualities will be 'resurrected' in your world as living realities when you least expect it.

To 'fish' successfully for desires, one must stop external struggle ('human bait') and instead 'fish in the deep waters of consciousness'. This involves withdrawing attention from problems, dwelling on pure 'I AM' to expand consciousness, and then assuming the feeling of the desired state until it is 'crucified' and 'resurrected' as reality.

Now let me instruct you in the art of fishing. It is recorded that the disciples fished all night and caught nothing. Then Jesus cam upon the scene and told them to cast their nets in once more, into the same waters that only a moment before were barren – and this time their nets were bursting with the catch. This story is taking place in the world today right within you, the reader. For you have within you all the elements necessary to go fishing. But until you find that Jesus Christ, (your awareness) is Lord, you will fish, as did these disciples, in the night of human darkness. That is, you will fish for THINGS thinking things to be real and will fish with the human bait – which is a struggle and an effort – trying to make contact with this one and that one: trying to coerce this being or the other being; and all such effort will be in vain. But when you discover your awareness of being to be Christ Jesus you will let him direct your fishing. And you will fish in consciousness for the things that you desire. For your desire – will be the fish that you will catch, because your consciousness is the only living reality you will fish in the deep waters of consciousness. If you would catch that which is beyond your present capacity you must launch out into deeper waters, for, within your present consciousness such fish or desires cannot swim. To launch out into deeper waters, you leave behind you all that is now your present problem, or limitation, by taking your ATTENTION AWAY from it. Turn your back completely upon every problem and limitation that you now possess. Dwell upon just being by saying, “I AM,” “I AM,” “I AM,” to yourself. Continue to declare to yourself that you just are. Do not condition this declaration, just continue to FEEL yourself to be and without warning you will find yourself slipping the anchor that tied you to the shallow of your problems and moving out into the deep. This is usually accompanied with the feeling of expansion. You will FEEL yourself expand as though you were actually growing. Don’t be afraid, for courage is necessary. You are not going to die to anything buy your former limitations, but they are going to die as you move away from them, for they live only in your consciousness. In this deep or expanded consciousness you will find yourself to be a power that you had never dreamt of before. The things desired before you shoved off from the shores of limitation are the fish you are going to catch in this deep. Because you have lost all consciousness of your problems and barriers, it is now the easiest thing in the world to FEEL yourself to be one with the things desired. Because I AM (your consciousness) is the resurrection and the life, you must attach this resurrecting power that you are to the thing desired if you would make it appear and live in your world. Now you begin to assume the nature of the thing desired by feeling, “I AM wealthy”; “I AM free”; “I AM strong.” When these ‘FEELS’ are fixed within yourself, your formless being will take upon itself the forms of the things felt. You become ‘crucified’ upon the feelings of wealth, freedom, and strength. – Remain buried in the stillness of these convictions. Then, as a thief in the night and when you least expect it, theses qualities will be resurrected in your world as living realities.

This is a comprehensive manifesting technique that emphasizes the shift from external effort to internal conscious creation, using the power of 'I AM' and sustained feeling.
