The Well 48.1.2>63

[newmoon]

I have often been told you manifest anything you want by remaining positive and open. I have always been conflicted by a will of a higher source and purpose for me and I being the sole creator of my destiny. I asked what is the secret to manifesting things in your life? 48.1.2>63

Your reading seems to be reflecting back to you a picture of yourself at this time, instead of being a direct answer to the question you asked. It shows you in rather a low state of being. I guess when we're feeling low we are not able to manifest much. However, I don't believe in the teachings of The Secret and the Law of Attraction. That is only one view of what life is all about. I know it has become very popular. However, I don't feel I have to go along with the crowd.

I see it as 'What not to do' answer.
Avoid chaotic thoughts, let the mud settle. And avoid superfluous and unnecessary desires/thoughts/passions.

I got these lines recently, because I just couldn't resist playing a little indie computer game that my friend showed me, although I haven't played for 2-3 years I think, instead of meditation.

Avoid vanity, let the mind settle, and then the clear water(intuition and energy) will come.
To manifest something you have to put concentrated energy in it for some period of time.
The wind bends the trees by blowing in one direction (57).

I did ask 'How can I hear the Divine messages more clearly?' 48.3 hah, go inside and listen

Manifesting? What exactly are you trying to manifest? Objects or people?

 

[meganj]

Don't neglect your gifts because of fear other wise they will not be used and you'll keep searching...
Look into yourself and figure out what makes you happy, what your fears are that may hold you back from being happy.
Destiny and higher purpose everyone wants to think there's something grand they are supposed to be doing.
The most important thing in life is to be happy.
How are you going about things to be happy??

 

[newmoon]

I wasn't trying to manifest anything. But things I want or hope for appear...sometimes. It was a curiosity about whether we follow a path or we create our futures. I had seen the Secret years ago, wasn't sure I agreed. Just a question that came to me.

Thanks Ash, I appreciate your comment.

I like what Ashteroid has also. To give my own take on the reading, its already across and the well. I see as its already inside of you or available to you. I often see the well as the source of life or your own spirit. Another way I can see it is already across (63) meaning you send your prayers, wishes or what have you into the universe and believe they are happening because its already available to you the well (48). As for the lines (1) clear the way for new to enter and (2) dig deep inside of yourself to make sure your wishes are your actual aspirations, or dig deep to realize your
aspirations. Or simply prepare yourself for the new manifestations to arrive, keeping your passion and spark alive.

Best wishes,

The secret is very basic.
It's about attitude and how you see things.
Some of the poorest people on this earth are also the happiest.
Why be happy with things, and achievements. Be happy with everything you do that you want to do.
That's what self-actualization is, identifying our strengths and following that path without fear.

I think 48.1.2 - 63 is referring to the importance of having a clear goal AND STICKING WITH IT in order to be able to make our desires manifest.

63. Success in small matters. Perseverance furthers. At the beginning good fortune, at the end disorder. Therefore the superior man takes thought of misfortune and arms himself in advance.

So often we can start off with clear intentions but we don't follow through. We may have a bit of success in the beginning but then a challenge appears that we hadn't anticipated and we abandon our dream. The superior man however recognizes that these sort of thing happens in life and has prepared for just such possibilities in advance.

48 The Well seems to be suggesting that the way to handle life's unforeseen set backs is by being a member of a support group. "The superior man encourages the people at their work and exhorts them to help one another." 48.1 Warns what happens when one remains isolated and 48.2 further warns against getting involved with people who are not supportive.
