I feel like a topic that comes up in the manifesting community that is prominent, but never quite approached correctly (at least from what I've seen) is the idea of having to get rid of your subconscious past/beliefs.
Most of us were groomed into thinking that life was hard, and that we have to work hard to overcome it. Some of us, including myself, came from a background of hardship, bullying, and abuse.
I think some of us, when finding out the law and finding out about "subconscious reprogramming", are led to believe that because of our hard past, we need to work even harder than the average person to get everything we want. This is what I believed early on in my journey, so I would try my best to affirm all day and listen to subliminals to "fix" my mindset, and where did that get me? Nowhere.
I spent MONTHS trying to do this, even wholeheartedly at times. Now I know better and I'm here to tell you that's BS. Our true nature is one of Love and Power. It's like that story of the prodigal son in the Bible - the son goes away, blows all of his money (to equate this to the situation at hand, is raised in a non-faithful background), ends up slaving away (dwelling in that old state.) Finally, he comes home, and his father, who represents the I AM and God within us, embraces him and dresses him in new clothes and showers him with all his love.
The second you decide to embrace that love, that I AM within you, you will be in your desired state. There's no barriers you need to cross or obstacles in your way - no. It's all about placing your attention and INTENTION on being the person that you want to be. There's no extra work or process needed. Why? Because your desired timeline or ending already exists. You will it to be so, and it is so.
The only "work" you need to be doing imo is learning to let go of the past. Forgive and love yourself and others, realize that you are simply an eternal being with a human experience. Don't judge yourself on whether you've lived well or not, for all the same anyway. Focus ONLY on what serves you and want you want to experience on that world.
I'll close this little ramble with a quote from Nisargadatta Maharaj -
Having never left the house, you are looking for the way home.
