This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes Sandy.
This morning you talked about that energy when people get into a panic state – that “oh my God, I’ve got to get out of this problem” feeling. That energy seems so strong that it pushes them through whatever negative stuff is happening. Is that right? Can someone get so desperate that they push through obstacles? I’m trying to understand how to create that same kind of energy for my goals, like that Christmas Eve anticipation when you’re excited to make something new and you just know it’s going to work.
You’ve hit on something crucial about human psychology. When something is actually happening to us in reality – a crisis, a problem that needs solving – our energy response is programmed to be intense and urgent. It’s different from imagining a future goal because our minds treat real, present-moment challenges as more urgent than things we’re trying to create.
That’s why people often go from fear to urgency and are able to respond, change, or overcome challenges quickly when they must. The key difference is the level of knowing you have about the outcome.
When I really want something, there’s a feeling I get in my body – a knowing. It’s like being locked into the thing, becoming one with it, even if it’s a future goal. I always get what I have that feeling about. If I don’t have that energetic connection, I don’t get it.
Most people don’t go after what they really want – they go after what they think they can accomplish.Â
There’s no excitement behind it, no real energy. The creative energy you’re describing when experimenting with a recipe – that sense of directed excitement where you know it’s going to work but you’re figuring it out – that’s closer to the energy needed for goals.
You have to really want it. At that point, you’re already energetically connected to it. You’ve connected to the desire itself, and that connection creates a kind of psychic link to what you want to manifest.
