Faith of our heart is manifested in our physical reality because it triggers particular pattern of our desires, thoughts and words that will trigger the universal Consciousness into action necessary for the fulfillment of the faith of our heart. In other words, if what we desire is to be successfully manifested in our reality, we have to first convince our heart to believe in its fulfillment.

Before we further analyze the success of manifestation of what we desire in our life, it is essential for us to understand the nature and function of what we refer to as heart.

We want to get rid of our debts. We want to have amicable relationship with spouse and kids. We want to get our chronic disease cured. These craving desires and other ambitious plans form the backbone of our life. But for these desires, our life loses its life.

Fine. From where do these desires arise in us? Spiritual literature says that we have three bodies. The physical body that we normally refer to as body is called the gross body. During dreamy sleep, we are unaware of our physical body. Our mind along with its derivatives like dream and thoughts forms what is called as the subtle body. When we go to the dreamless deep sleep state, our gross and subtle bodies become imperceptible, and we identify ourselves with what is called as the causal body.

Our desires arise from this causal body and, of course, they are manifested in our mind. An enlightened spiritual person knows it very well because he is aware of the presence of his causal body even when he is wide awake.

Just as our subtle body is concentrated in a location where our physical brain is located, our causal body is concentrated at a location where our physical heart is located. That's why we often refer to our causal body as heart.

Law of Attraction is popularly implemented by means of what is called Visualization method. It uses our mind to convince our heart to believe in the physical fulfillment of what we desire. It is a very powerful technique to clearly define our goal to our heart. It is very simple. You are supposed to vividly imagine the picturized end result you want, a few times a day until you actually realize it.

Our heart accepts whatever we feed it. No questions asked. If you are poor but you tell your heart that you are rich, your heart accepts that you are rich. Not because your heart is an idiot, but because it is wiser than your mind. It knows that you can have anything but you have chosen to have little so far. It knows that your being creates your having unlike your mind that thinks that your having creates your being. That's why manifestation starts from our heart.

Our heart doesn't understand the logic and statements which come under the jurisdiction of our mind. It understands pictures rather than words quickly and directly. Therefore we use pictures to talk to our heart directly. If we use words, they will be screened by our mind before they are fed into our heart. If you are poor and vividly imagine what you'd do if you were rich, your heart understands that you are rich. On the other hand, if you state that I am rich, your statement will be first processed by your mind and then fed into your heart. Obviously your mind will reject this nonsense statement and nothing will be fed into your heart. So, we have to necessarily talk to our heart in terms of pictures.

How can we find out that our heart has started to believe in the physical fulfillment of what we desire? Suppose that you are poor and you passionately crave for wealth. You repeat the statement 'I am rich' daily for a few minutes morning and evening for a month. At the end of the month, if you still crave for wealth passionately, you can come to the conclusion that your manifestation effort has failed to touch your heart. On the other hand, suppose that you visualize what you'd do if you were rich for a few minutes morning and evening for a month. At the end of the month, if your craving for wealth has reduced to some extent, you can safely come to the conclusion that your heart has started to believe in the physical fulfillment of your desire for accumulation of wealth. Remember that as long as our passionate craving for a particular desire has not subsided, our manifestation effort is less likely to be successful. It is not the absence of desire itself but the absence of passionate craving for that desire which is the pre-requisite for the successful manifestation of that particular desire.

To sum up we can use Visualization method to successfully manifest what we desire as it convinces our heart to believe in the physical fulfillment of what we desire. Provided other things are equal. Unfortunately other things are never equal. So far we have considered ideal situations for the sake of simplicity in order to explain the mechanism of Manifestation by means of Visualization. Practically we rarely encounter such ideal situations.

Let me illustrate. Consider the case of Mr.Y who had a bitter quarrel with his wife last month, and his wife stopped talking to him since then. Now he wants to apply the technique of Visualization as a means for invoking Law of Attraction.

He imagines a vivid picture of her talking to him in good terms; he imagines walking with her to the nearby park, and so on.

If he uses this visualization technique a few times a day for a week or two, he should get an offer for a bilateral talk from his wife, and he should be able to explain things, and slowly in another week or two the relationship should be normalized.

But it did not happen. Worse, the already chilled relationship evolved into a frozen one. What went wrong? To understand why universal Consciousness pulled his wife away from him instead of pushing her towards him, we have to examine what happened in the internal state of Y in the week he resorted to visualization.

One day in his office a colleague refused to give some important data Y badly required. That data was so important for Y because his promotion depended on the successful completion of his assignment that required the data to be obtained from his colleague. Y had already been troubled in his mind due to the continuing strained relationship with his wife. Now this fellow was torturing him in his office as well. Y couldn't think rationally. He couldn't think of any friendly means to procure the data from his colleague. Y had to spend the whole day brooding over the unacceptable behavior of his colleague.

On the next day Mrs.Y, chatting with a visiting guest, elaborated for hours the negative points of her husband she discovered right from the marriage date, while Mr.Y was in home at audible distance. Y was already disturbed at the dismal prospects of his promotion due to the non-cooperation of his colleague in completing his assignment. Now she was declaring to a third party that he had ruined her life. He had to spend the full night that day thinking over again and again what she said.

With tons of filth and garbage of negative desires, thoughts and words expressed from his heart, mind and body, how can Y expect the universal Consciousness to act upon the grams of positivity he sends out through Visualization technique? Who is he dealing with here? An uneducated idiotic servant on his payroll? Universal Consciousness is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent sentient Entity that runs the show of this universe. You can't cheat It/Her/Him.

If what we want in our life is to be manifested in our physical reality, our heart should first believe that it will be manifested in our physical reality. The primary objective of our Visualization exercise is to create and sustain this faith in our heart. But when abundant passionate desires, thoughts and words of negativity related to various aspects of life like health, wealth and relationship in our family, social and professional transactions, are expressed from our heart, mind and body, our heart fails to get this faith even after a prolonged period of practice of Visualization exercise. For, all these aspects of our life are interconnected.

When abundant passionate desires, thoughts and words of negativity are expressed from our heart, mind and body, we cannot predict what universal Consciousness will bring us - definitely not what we would like It to. All our positive Visualization exercises are useless crap compared to the overwhelming negativity expressed from our heart, mind and body. This is the reason why our success rate in utilizing Law of Attraction is so poor. We'll see later in detail, Consciousness Manifestation Methods to control the negativity expressed from our heart, mind and body within the threshold limits. Before that, let us see other two popular Traditional Manifestation Methods.
