Another book that changed my life is, Ask and It Is Given. One of my favorite little analogies from this book is in regards to moving energy to manifest our desires and remove resistance. Let me see if I can explain it the way Abraham does...
If you hit a tree while driving 100 mph, the impact could be quite devastating. The outcome would be considerably different if you hit that same tree at just 5 mph.
The speed of the vehicle is like the power of your desire. Another way to say this is, the more you want something or the longer you have been focusing upon your desire, the faster the energy moves. The tree in this analogy represents "resistance" or the contradictory thoughts that may be present.
Who wants to run into trees? It's probably not pleasant. And holding onto powerful desires in the midst of resistance is also not pleasant. Some people try to remedy this by slowing down their vehicle.
In other words, they deny their desire or they try to release it and sometimes with great effort, they are able to diffuse the power of their desire to some degree, but by far, the better remedy is to reduce your level of resistance.
I had a friend once tell me, YOLO (I'd never heard that before). She said it means, "You Only Live Once". "So, like Carpe Diem?" "Yes" "Got it".
She said to live every minute, not wasting even a second, and live life ~ do things. be adventurous.
So the moral to the story is... don't slow your car down. Instead, remove the trees.
