I'm attracting lots of interviews, just not jobs

**hopeful**

Maybe the problem is, I really don't want to work, but I NEED the income. ( I would be very happy staying at home with the dogs. Maybe I should manifest the lottery). :)I have had at least 5 interviews, with more on the way, but no job offers. I am an educated, skilled professional, and have never had a problem getting a job, until a couple of years ago. The past couple of months has been the most active interview time, though. I have been told I interview well, by all but one, but have learned from that one and corrected my mistake. So, how do I manifest something I need, but don't really have a strong desire? I know this isn't the typical question, but please help. If you were to ask what I do want in a job, it would be to work when I wanted, like one day a week, and make a ton of money. So, how do I get the LOA, or my desires,to be realistic? :)

Whats realistic is your point of view. realism is an illusion and your reality is whatever you say it is, thats what Abraham says somewhere. If what you want is to work very little and make money ask yourself if you believe that can happen. Doesnt sound like you believe that. If you dont believe it will happen, then youll get what your focusing on which is what you dont want. the biggest thing in law of attraction is to be able to work on your beliefs and fix them, its what abe calls tweaking your vibe. thats the big key to getting pointed downstream.

Hopeful, like you, I don't want to work a typical job and also like you, I want a ton of money. And you know what, it's already happened. It's all there. The split second that desire was born, it was done. It's not about believing it's possible, it's about knowing it's possible. Abe often tells us whatever we desire the Universe can deliver. Our only job is to let it in. I'm allowing the money to flow to me and I'm allowing the Universe to flow it to me in the best way possible. I'm going to move into a beautiful new home and I'm going to kick-start my soapmaking and skincare business up again because I absolutely love doing it. However this time around, it's going to be wildly successful.

Life is such a joy knowing that whatever I want, I can have.

If you go back and read your post, you just answered your own question: "Maybe the problem is, I really don't want to work, but I NEED the income." Your energy is split because you're telling the Universe you want something and then immediately talking about how you don't want it to come.

Try softening your resistance: Maybe I could find a job in a field that really interests me. Wouldn't it be great if I could easily balance work and the rest of my life? Wouldn't it be great if I could work from home and stay with the dogs? Wouldn't it be great if the dollars could flow in ways that I can enjoy? Wouldn't it be great if I could find a work experience I could really enjoy? Wouldn't it be great if I got to meet people I really clicked with? Wouldn't it be great if I was able to learn new things? What if work could be something that helped me get TITITO? Wouldn't it be great if I could look forward to an enjoyable work experience? What if dollars could flow in through work and through other ways too? Wouldn't it be great if I could work part time and have dollars flowing in other ways and still be very comfortable with my finances?

If you release resistance in those areas where you have a strong belief that dollars can flow, as well as open up to dollars flowing in other ways, you should have an easier go of things. As long as you're in the mode of trying to force yourself to do something you don't want to do, it'll be a struggle.

**Abrahamoholic**
I am really enjoying this subject. Like many of you, I donÂ´t recognize any specific passion in life other than live the good life, without the need to justify it. I have however, two questions for you, Christina:

> Christina wrote:

How did you arrive at such state of knowing ? What specific process/games did you use? How long it took for you. I am still "working" on it but it comes and goes. My challenge is when I face the demands and urgencies of my now "reality".

To each its own (vibrational process). Ok. But could you share with us about through which specific vortex are you allowing money to flow to you ?

Ricardo, the knowing is something that comes from deep inside of me based on how I feel. When Abraham says you can be, do, or have anything you want, I know that to be true because I can literally feel the truth of that statement by the emotions I feel when I think about it. In the beginning when I first started studying the teachings of Abraham (about 11 months ago), I suppose I wanted that statement to be true more than I knew it to be true. In other words, I was hoping it was true but didnâ€™t really know one way or the other until I really started thinking about it and paying attention to the way I felt when I rolled that statement around in my mind. It did resonate with me in the beginning, but it took a little time for me to realize that it is something I knew all along but had forgotten. To get to the point where I am now, I do as Abraham suggests and always look for good feeling thoughts that make me happy. I also spend a great deal of time â€œtelling my story the way I want it to be.â€

My life is not without contrast, but I know how much I am loved and I know that my reason for being here is to experience a joyful life. So when I do experience contrast, I look at it as an opportunity to fine tune what I do want. I know that whatever I want is instantly there for me and all I have to do is line myself up with it and allow into my experience. And I am always aware that there are many ways in which the Universe can surprise and delight us so I donâ€™t limit the ways in which things will manifest. In other words, I donâ€™t tell the Universe how to do its job, I just let it do its thing.

Hopeful, You cannot manifest something you "NEED." The NEED bars the doorway of your Energy Field from what you want to come in.

You have split energy....In fact, not really split.....Because it is so weak.

So you have this river of Energy, and at a junction, a huge amount of it is splitting off into NEED (which turns What IS around, and circles around and back into your back door)....

And the other little stream is now trickling way into the puddle of "don't really want."

You have to have passion for the OUTCOME.

I am not hearing passion here..............Neither does the U, so you just chase your own tail in the interviews....

**hopeful**

Patricia,

You have nailed it. I don't have the passion to get a job. At this point there is FRUSTRATION. I don't want to have to get up early, put on my suit, and go and act "perfect" and respond "perfectly" anymore. I am so tired of it. I know I am really negative right now, but actually I have moved up the emotional scale, because I was in despair, now I am po'd/frustrated. At least I'm moving up. :) I am definately going to try the what if's another poster suggested. Any other ideas?!?

Hopeful...you could try telling a different story about where you are (besides making peace), your job, or your life's work. Don't call it work, call it something else. Make up a name if it pleases you, andleaves this subject feeling softer and more malleable.

"I don't want to have to get up early, put on my suit, and go and act "perfect" and respond "perfectly" anymore. I am so tired of it. I know I am really negative right now, but actually I have moved up the emotional scale..."

Hmmmm - maybe this statement could be worded so the emphasis is on the other end of the stick:

"I would love toco-create in an environment, where I can set my own hours, wear clothes that feel comfortable, and express myself with freedom. Just the idea of this sounds delicious and makes me feel so good. Wouldn't it be nice if I found just such a place? Wouldn't it be nice if I found a company that appreciated and recognized my value? Wouldn't it be nice if this company celebrated individual and collective creativity? Wouldn't it be nice if this new work environment felt like close friends, or family? Wouldn't it be nice that when I woke up in the morning I eagerly went to this place, where it felt like play-time? Wouldn't it be nice if my financial remuneration was exactly what I asked for and more? That would be so nice! I love being the creator of my experience. I love what I attract into my life. My life is getting better and better with each day. There's no end to how good my life can get. Whoo Hoo!"

And so, you play games like this. You are your creator. There is no script being written for you, so you can make it up anyway you want. Tell your story how you want it to be, and pretty soon - it will be.

Dear Hopeful,

maybe you could be open to possibilities of different avenues for your money to flow into your experience.

When you think of work and income, write down a list of all the aspects that you can think of - I am guessing they would be pretty upstream statements.

take each of the aspects and turn them into a positive statement or aspect.

Who knows maybe you could work from home and spend time with your dogs !!!

**OGWAVES**

Hopefully, I'm where you're at! I'm a writer and did freelance work for years. It was great -- I worked from home from 10-4. But the work has dried up and I look forward to getting a 9-5 job like having my teeth pulled.

I'm trying to find ways to create income without having to do that...anyway, I just wanted to say hang in there. I completly understand.

Oh and feel judged that, " hey the rest of the world goes to crappy jobs they hate, what makes you so special." But I do feel special and I don't want to be in a misrable job. I don't mind working hard, but I want to work hard at something I'm passionate about!!

Jim
