As I closed my other blog page http://seraphine-innerdialogs.blogspot.com/
I am preserving some posts from that page here:What If You Are Not Receiving What You Wish For?
Sometimes, we wonder, why is the 'thing I want most in my life' is not given to me even though I am being a nice person, or doing my duties etc.
You may do all the right things, you may practice all the manifestation, law of attraction advices, you may work hard to get what you wish or you may try to let go. There are various, sometimes contradictory advices regarding receiving what you wish for from the universe or God. Some say work on it, some say let it go. Some think that the fact that a certain wish is not being materialized is a sign that it is not meant to be, it is not in your highest interest, or it is not in your life path. Some others say that if a wish is not being materialized, you hang on, show patience: when going gets though, though gets going; the difference being winner or a loser is that winner hanged on a bit longer.
So what to do? What is the right path? We don't want to be stubborn in wishing for an unrealistic dream. But also we don't want to abandon a dream which we feel will bring a lot of joy and fulfillment to our souls. How do you know whether a wish is not meant to be or your patience and desert is being tested.
You may honestly try every way you can think of and if you fail to manifest your wish, you would blame yourself thinking that you didn't do what you were supposed to do, you didn't learn what you were supposed to learn etc. Or you may just think that even if you tried a method (like praying, manifestation, etc) you did it in the wrong way, or you weren't consistent, you didn't do enough of it.
Then, after all this, you would feel helpless, angry or frustrated. You may lose your hope or your faith in a universe/God that listens or cares.
But what if the fault is not yours. What if you relied on yourself too much. Maybe it is not supposed to be in your ability to bring forth your wishes at this point. Maybe you have a larger life plan you agreed to before being born, and according to that, you are supposed to be waiting instead of receiving at this point. Maybe what you should do is just stop blaming yourself.
One thing is for sure, though, "desperation to obtain something dispels its coming!". We can choose to be bitter and spend our lives feeling that our prayers are not answered and God didn't bless us with the happiness we wished for. Or we can spend our time to enrich our inner life, studying our soul and finding peace in remembering our Source and eternal light. Maybe that is why we are delayed in being granted that wish or need. Maybe, we are being given time to examine ourselves and concentrate on our soul searching.
When our need is no more a need, and just a source of happiness; when we find completeness with the eternal source God/All-that-is, rather than with the "thing" we want which is only God's reflection, then maybe we can receive the blessing we wish for. The "thing" we wish or need, is just a reflection/manifestation of God/universe/One. If you find your connection with that source itself rather then yearning for its shadow, then wouldn't you be more fulfilled?
I am not saying we should let go of all our wishes, desires etc to be able to merge with the light of our Source. If a person is inclined to do so, then it is time for that soul to live an aesthetic life and just search for God. But if you do not have a continuous inclination for that, chances are you are not at that stage of soul evolution to do so. Every soul has a different function, different lessons to learn, different path.
You can concentrate more on the big picture without letting go of the colors and details of the picture. You can establish your connection with Universal Consciousness and hold it in your mind at all times to give you hope and joy, while still wishing for the blessings that emanate from that Universal Consciousness. Loving God doesn't mean hating the world. As many mystic traditions such as Sufism argue, all is a manifestation of God, so why should you not cherish the beautiful paint that God is creating at every moment while still loving the painter?
To come back to the question of what to do when your wish is not being granted even if you waited for so long, I can only say change your focus: "leave God's work to God and concentrate on your own work". If it is not in your ability to reach a goal, then let a power greater than you do the work while you concentrate on the things you can achieve.
When you start fulfilling your own service to the world, your own soul searching and cleansing, then maybe it will be the time for God to fulfill God's own miracles. If something seems out of your reach no matter what you try, then leave it to God. At any point in time, you are presented many options and tasks that are waiting for your attention. When you start walking the way that is clearly in front of you, then the paths that are hidden may be revealed by your Source.
And do not give up your wish if you know it is a pure wish coming from love and light. In the infinity and eternity of all creation, there must come a time and place where that wish can manifest, be it in this life time or another. Do not think anything as final! When you shift your perception this way, you will not feel that hopeless and isolated. You don't have to give up anything, any wish which contains goodness can and will come true.

Ruminations on the Energies of the Universe
We come to this world to experience how to be human living on material realm, going through all strives and emotional turmoils. When we realize our source, and that we are not isolated beings, then we start analyzing our life lessons. We learn. But still that doesn't end suffering. The only real end to it is to choose. Choose what you want to align your soul with. It is like choosing which current you want to follow. After all, we are all leafs in the rivers of universe.
We are vessels through which different energies of the universe pass through, darkness and light and fire pass through us in cycles effecting how we perceive the world. These perceptions determine our feelings and experiences. When we become aware of this process, then we can choose the higher vibrational energies, the light, the love, the peace. When we hang on to them, then we can lift our selves up from the depths of world ocean.
When we are immersed in the positive manifestations of universal energies, then we can become united with God. Although, good or bad, positive or negative, bliss and joy and pain, all come from one source, God, all are God's emanations. But at that level, at the level of infinity and eternity, what we perceive as bad in our limited realities have no meaning. Our perceptions are relative. What is negative according to us is just a necessary function at the grand level. I suppose there is no real negative, it is just our perception. Above all the contradicting forces of universe is peace, tranquility. So if you attune your frequency with the positive energy, the highest love, then you can find peace and unison with your source.
It is not easy to get into the positive frequency when you are depressed, in pain, and lacking the things you need. But when you take a step and intend to get in touch with that highest light, then it comes and encompasses you eventually. What you need is honest intention. This can come through after going deep into the dark corridors of pain, and really burning. There will come a time, when you feel that you don't need to experience pain anymore, the learning is done and it is not welcome anymore. Then you invite light and wish for it with peace. When you really feel you have learned the lessons you came here for, then peace will follow. Hardships will either disappear or your perception will be changed in a way that you won't feel pain when facing the difficulties. When you are in light, shadows can not pull you down.

It is all still and blue one day. No worries at all. All the dark depths inside you are calmly sleeping without disturbing you with their forgotten existence. And then a meteor falls into your waters, something from outside. Some wandering guest comes uninvited and everything is all over. Or an earthquake shakes your reality, something from inside. Some sleeping power which you buried deep inside awakens and says "come on what are you doing, you have to sink into chaos, what is this fake peace you are in".
So it starts...The waves are uncontrollable. Breaking everything that comes into their way…All the heaviest stuff that settled down on the bottom of the ocean, rises to surface. Anything ignored are found by the waves and brought to surface, and anything unimportant and daily is taken down to the bottom.
The waves are dark and harsh...They take everything inside you and mix them with every other thing, things undefined, unperceived before. You face the feelings you were not aware of, the capabilities of you, the soul you have to discover. It is like that computer game, till the army invades a land, the land is black and blank. Then you command your army to go to that direction, and the land starts to reveal itself. Until you step into the unknown, you are not aware of its existence.
First an immense confusion, everything is blurred, nothing is real or clear. But then, a sudden realization of the answers you were seeking all along. At this crazy dance of your waves, things which you were not aware of about yourself, about others, about how life is, comes to the surface, you may get just a glimpse of it, or you may finally see the answers that were so hazy up to then.
And the waves crush down everything on the shore. All those sharp, huge rocks surrounding your ocean, protecting you from outside, begins to crumble under your waters. Those rocky mountains around you, making you unreachable for the visitors from outside, visitors who don't have enough willingness to climb the rocks to reach you, are kept away form you.
The rocks were protecting you from unworthy outsiders, before. But they were making you invisible at the same time. Not many would guess the existence of this huge deep endless infinity of waters lying just behind the rocks. That’s a lonely place to be.
So when the storm starts, the waves start to break down the rocks, smooth your edges, making paths between the ocean and the land.
The impulse dies down after a while. The initiating power, the meteor or the earthquake, is not enough for the storm to continue. So you slowly regain your calmness again. Some sunny days, some grey dull days follow each other. Until…Until another reason creates this madness of the ocean again. Another cycle begins, during which you learn more about what lies beneath the surface of your ocean and the rocks around you are torn down even more.
So finally there will be a time, when you are one with the land. No sharp rocks, just the smooth welcoming sand. When you step from the shore into the sea, you don’t fall into a deep hole. It is all smooth; the land merges with the water so gently.
And at the same time, another ocean must be going through the same process. Another ocean has erased all the mountains and rocks. So there is only a smooth piece of land lying between these two oceans. And when rain comes, or something moves the waters again, maybe even a gentle breeze, no storms is necessary now; the waters in each ocean rise and cover the land.
And then, everything is just water. There is only one ocean now, all waters merge and become one. And the ocean knows what lies deep inside its waters; it has learned everything about itself during the stormy times. Now it is all quiet and complete. You are complete.
That's the soul’s journey. The reason why we are here. To learn your self and to become one.
