Some of you struggle because it's ingrained in you that struggle creates compassion, struggle equates with humility; struggle and suffering is the way to God.
Right now, ask yourself:
“Do I believe 'God' is inside me?”
Most people would answer, "No. God’s outside, up there in the heavens. God made me. God’s over there and I’m over here.”
God is EVERYWHERE. The Divine force is within and without. To think otherwise would be a separation between you and your creative source. And the creative force is always and constantly in motion.
Now ask yourself:
“Do I believe ‘God’ is a HE?”
When you refer to God or Divinity, do you refer to your source or higher power as HE? It’s natural to have this reference because it’s saturated in the Judeo Christian scriptures. “God the Father,” ‘His Will be Done,” “The Lord Our God.” All masculine references. The belief that God is a HE, that God is masculine, completely excludes the feminine. It separates all women from God. If God is perceived as a HE then what does that do to the female psyche?
What does it FEEL like when you consider that God is neither masculine nor feminine? That God is both? Whether you’re a man or woman it's important to examine what you believe God to be—masculine, feminine, or genderless. It’s important that you answer it before you begin your Manifestation Ritual because the answer bears great weight on the outcome on your manifestations. Why? Because gender-specific expectations can limit your ability to manifest and create.
I know and know of many women who were raised by unyielding fathers and father-figures. They also believe God to be masculine and all-powerful. These women, across the board, have had major difficulty with men and money throughout their lives. They either have a fear of God or a rebellious nature that causes them to manipulate in order to meet their needs. These women have a much more difficult time manifesting their desires because they feel powerless to effect any kind of change. How could they? God is masculine and all-powerful, separate from them, and therefore subjugate themselves to the will of God.
Whether you're a woman or a man, if you believe God exists separate from you it becomes your conundrum. In the idea that you are separate from your Divinity, your God, is also the idea that you cannot manifest anything truthful and real unless you ask for help from God. This is the point where your personal relationship to God can have a major impact on the outcome of your manifestation.
When all other beliefs falter imagine that you are Pure Conscious Love.

Top 5 things NOT to say to a Capricorn (or Capricorn Rising)
1. Relax. Yeah, ah. Well that's not going to happen any time soon. Capricorn is one of the workaholic signs. Even if they check off everything on their 'To Do' list, they'll organize all the 'to do' lists and start a database for reference. Capricorns love to work. They feel they have to atone for some past grievance they think their God has against them. The only way to get your Capricorn to relax is to shoot them with a Rhino tranquillizer and while they're in their induced coma, feed them stock quotes and news intravenously. Or…you could sway them with a working vacation. (That's the best I can think of being a Capricorn Rising sign myself.)
2. You're wrong. Well, okay. If you said that to a Virgo, they'd get defensive. If you say this to a Capricorn they become simultaneously repentant, demoralized, AND paralyzed on the spot. Be gentle with your Capricorn. Let them know that their information might be incorrect but that they did a good job researching…(all those sleepless nights and self denial and such.) They don't have to self-flagellate or anything…just correct the info. Then get them some chips. They like to crunch on crunchy things when they're stressed.
3. I don't give a damn. You don't? Then you won't have Capricorn on your side for very long. Capricorn is dedicated to serving humanity. They ponder the route. They consider the opinions. They take their time. They need to be surrounded by passionate and caring people who are ready to make a difference. If you don't give a damn, Capricorn will…and attempt to ignite your enthusiasm. (They tend to care-take the needy to feel needed.) These stoic people just don't give up. They go the distance and then some. Makes you wonder if they're androids. Sometimes you just wanna scream at them, "Lighten up!" When you least expect it, they put on a gorilla suit and bring you flowers at your office. Why? Because Capricorn gives a damn.
4. C'mon. Let's ditch in this line. No one will know. Oh NO? Capricorn will know. They're the record keepers of social behaviors. You must atone for your actions or else Capricorn will stare you down and make you feel so uncomfortable, you'll have to face your own conscience. They like to think of themselves as social police. They have the responsible gene. Capricorn knows that there's a big EYE scanning all thoughts and actions so they obey the law. BUT some Capricorns are so freaked by authority and the idea of Godly punishment that they figure they might as well do something wrong so they become addicted to chemicals. These Capricorns need reassurance that they're not inherently bad, just irresponsible. Wow. Telling them that will throw them into rehab faster than you can say, "All rise for the honorable Judge…."
5. Do it this way. Oh…really? You think telling your Capricorn (or Cap Rising) friend what to do is going to motivate them? You know where you can stick that statement…right up your…oh, sorry. Capricorn's prefer the more Victorian approach to reprimand. Be polite, be gracious, and above all, be articulate. Capricorns admire authority figures who lead by pristine example. Be pure of heart and it will help Capricorn to lighten up on themselves. Capricorns can be so funny in a dry kind of way. In fact, once you stop telling them what to do and how to do it, they'll turn to you with choice words that will show you who's boss. They win. The end.

I AM Replaces I WANT
When you manifest, your goal is to create something. There are different aspects of yourself (your thoughts, your behaviors, your judgments, your fears, your point of view, your morals, your ethic—the ingredients) that ‘bake’ or focus in your mind to create something new. You take all these ingredients, which then CHANGE SHAPE with focus, to create a delicious Manifestation.
It’s all a matter (no pun intended) of energy in different forms.
Manifestation is pure creation. It has nothing to do with WANTING. In fact, ‘wanting’ delays or even curtails manifesting.
WANTING, as I have discussed in previous blogs, is an energy that does nothing except create more wanting. You might say, “I want to be spiritual.” Great. Then go be spiritual. But ask yourself, what is the focus of this statement? Well, it’s the ‘wanting.’ Say it again: “I want to be spiritual.” Can you feel the emphasis is on ‘want?’
Now say, “I Am spiritual.” Where’s the emphasis now? Right. It’s on ‘Am.’ You are what you profess. It’s decisive. You’ve made a CHOICE. You’ve made the decision to be spiritual. There is no more ‘wanting.’
You can also say, “I am GOING TO BE spiritual’ or “I’m GOING TO BE a TEACHER” or “I am GOING TO BE ________”, once I complete my training.” Great, as long as you're moving toward your goal with positive, conscious intention, you'll likely attain what it is you seek. You need to ACT toward that goal. If you say, "I am GOING TO BE spiritual or a mechanic or a teacher one day," but put forth inconsistent or zero effort then it will NEVER happen.
Why? Because:
1. Your actions and words conflict.
2. Change only happens in the PRESENT MOMENT.
3. If you're bouncing back and forth between thoughts, you're contradicting yourself and you're not present.
C'mon, lemme hear ya'…what's your purpose again? That's right…to become present and to know that you are PURE CONSCIOUS LOVE. You have the ability to choose your next compassionate moment.
'Am going to, ‘will want to,' are phrases that have nothing to do with the PRESENT moment. (Except as they guide you toward your goal…and into the next moment, which becomes the present.)
Declare what you are—without hesitation, without doubt. Say, “I Am______,” and know it to be true.
