Question: I find myself wanting to ask for and look for clues that something toward my desires manifesting is actually working to avoid frustration or discouragement. Is this a good thing or is it better to just have blind faith?  Sometimes it feels like nothing works and never will, but that is an emotion to just go through.  It can be difficult when money is going out faster than it is coming in, but in the meantime there is time to either just enjoy life or look for a job out of fear. What would you recommend?

Higgins: We need to answer this question in segments.

We are delighted to know this for this is the beginning of reading your personal book of life. If you will practice looking for signs that your desires are on their ways to you, you will begin to notice that signs and manifestation are the same thing. That which you are calling ‘signs’ we call ‘metaphor’ and ‘manifestation’. The signs you are wanting to see are metaphorical versions or aspects of the thing you want.

As you practice you will begin to read the signs and know which way you are headed, either towards or away from your heart’s desire. And that is life: a continual and perpetual unfolding of manifestations that you have created by your thoughts, words, actions and most importantly, the emotions you emit while committing those thoughts, words and actions.

We wish for you to absorb this and thus will answer your question in segments day by day. Read the answers slowly, word by word. Allow your Self and your Spirit Guides to assist you with deep understanding.
