Note 1 - Consent

 you can't give other people permission to do something - only yourself to receive something. this is the same as asking for something - you may or may not get it, whether how or when you want. it's up to where it's coming from whether it's given or not. you give yourself permission to receive something. where it comes from changes based on what sort of permission you gave to receive. what criteria you gave yourself to be able to receive it. the wider the criteria, the faster it may come.

each time the criteria changes, the how changes. each time the how changes, the timeframe changes. sometimes the time changes a little, sometimes it changes a lot. this works in forwards and reverse. making it take longer or shorter.

something 'finally' manifests when the criteria stays still long enough for the how to reach it's destination. 

this is a consent-based universe. both sides have to agree. every side, if there are more. when you want something, and you put a timeframe on it, this  is a criteria that shapes the how's arrival. you want that specific thing, at or before this specific time. it didn't come. it didn't come because that how didn't consent. you say 'it wasn't for your highest good'. we say, it's because it wasn't an option. 

this is the error in 'you can have, be, or do anything you want.' the error isn't in the phrase; it's in the understanding of the phrase. the 'you' is not what you think it is. You are not 'you'. You are a perspective of 'you'.  at the same time, this perspective of you, the you that is reading this, absolutely can have, be or do anything you want, but you need to understand that you don't get to pick the how. the how you visualize, daydream about, or imagine isn't the how you will receive it. You think that imagined thing is the what. It's not. It's the how. The what that you want is what this imagined thing represents to you. Forget about what the imagined thing looks like. The what that you want is what that thing -feels- like. Forget about what it looks like - in the sense that you let go of, or ignore, what it looks like and say instead 'I don't care what it looks like, I want this feeling!' with arms wide open and a smile so big it forces your eyes shut.
