God list

I still haven´t made out my God list yet, always think about it though...Maybe it´s ´cos I have never really known what it is i want, anyone have any ideas as to how to know what one really wants? Can you keep adding to the God list? Or how should we go about it?Once we figure out what we really want that is...Say it´s more money? is that what you should put on the list? " I want more money? or should i phrase it differently? This probably sounds silly, but, I guess as a child I was never really asked what I wanted so, I guess I have just have kept up this childish habit, sometimes i do feel like I have never really grown up and want everyone else to think for me, does that make sense? Hope someone gets what I´m trying to say and maybe have an opinion.... Would love some help with my God list though!!!!! See, there i go again, wanting someone else to help me........LoL

Learning about yourself

Hi Angie, Your post really struck a chord with me because I have experienced wanting to want things. In a previous part of my life, my friends and coworkers and partner would usually urge, encourage and try to influence me to figure out what I want and develop more of a "self." I don't know if that is similar at all to what you're experiencing? I guess I'm really responding to the feeling I get from your post that you are somehow not growing up at the right pace or the thought that you are not okay just how you are and where you are ... Just ignore this post though if I interpreted your words incorrectly :) During that time of my life when I didn't know yet what specific future I wanted, I put great pressure on myself to "figure myself out." I was tired of being seen as less mature ir grown-up as others, tired of feeling like everyone always had to look out for me or tell me what to do. So I took the advice of most of my friends and family and set out to "find myself." I broke up with a great, stable partner, started therapy, dated around, lived the single life, read books, had deep spiritual "intellectual" discussions, developed opinions on a bunch of topics - basically lived the lifestyle and culture that others thought I should. Well, six months later I was miserable! I was no longer me! I knew my personality kind of needed some coloring and filling in before but at least I was still ME! So I learned that most of the characteristics others expected of me were not me but what they wanted for themselves! And most importantly I learned that when it comes to what makes me happy, *I* am the expert, not even my mom or best friend ... Sorry this is so long but it was the first time I told my story in just this way! :) it just really helped me to write that down finally so thank you for posting which triggered this process within me :) I guess what I really wanted to convey is that ... Maybe you are already just fine how you are? And not wanting much might just mean you're a fairly happy and content person? And if you're actually truly longing to discover yourself more deeply, to know your wants and dreams, then please be gentle with yourself! Put "to learn more about myself" on your God list and then let it go, and keep being you, living your life joyfully. And trusting that your personality will bloom just like the flowers in springtime - gradually and naturally ...

Hi Angie, There are no rules

Hi Angie,
There are no rules about what you put on the God list, or just how you say it. It's not some magic ritual that you have to get just right before it works. It's a way of turning your wants and needs over to your Large Self/the Presence/God, and knowing that it is taken care of. (You do sensible, practical things as you need to get what you want, and at the same time the Divine adds the ease and grace and helps things to fall into place in ways you would have never believed possible.)
You can put anything on the God list, it can be as long as you like, and you can change it whenever you like. You can put down very definite, specific things, like "a house with a room for my home office" as well as non-physical things like "more confidence" or "knowing what I really want." You can put down things you always wanted, physical or non-material, that you don't believe you could ever have or achieve. You'll be surprised at how your beliefs about what is possible change, weeks or months down the road.
And you don't have to worry about getting it wrong somehow. The Presence knows what you desire deep in your heart better than your conscious mind does, and is ready to provide it. Making a God list, besides being a kind of act of will to "let the Divine do the heavy lifting," helps your vibration to rise because you're thinking about things that make you happy. You can imagine how it will be when you have whatever it is, how you will feel, and that feeling as you're imagining it, is a vibration that helps attract what you want.
It's fine to imagine in vivid detail a physical thing or situation that you want, or how things will be different when you have a certain character trait, if it helps you get into the good feeling. But then pay attention to the feeling. It's the great feeling, of peace, enjoyment, love, security, etc, that you really want. As you let the feeling in, the Presence will manifest circumstances that go along with that feeling. It may look quite different than you imagined it, but the wonderful feelings will be there.
You can't do it wrong, Angie. Just enjoy doing it. Imagine your Large Self looking over your shoulder, encouraging you, saying, "yeah, that's a good thing...Yep, won't that be great." It might even make suggestions.
Love, Vicki

I say YES to a Great Life

Hi Angie When I first started Divine Openings some parts of my life were ok and some were definately not ok. I decided I wanted a great life that include EVERYTHING, health, relationships, wealth, happiness and joy. So I put a 'Great Life' on my God list, made up this little mantra and focused on that. I say YES to Grace and YES to a Great Life. And do you know, Life is Great!! Love Marion, Divine Openings Giver
