Вадим Зеланд – What Tufti Did not say / О чем не сказала Тафти (страница 2)

With inner intention, you take action ahead. The plait is located behind you. So you create the illusion for outer intention that it is not you who is carrying out the action, it is happening of its own accord. Outer intention is when things happen of their own accord, aside from you. You just hint at what needs to be done. Hence the expression, “you had nothing to do with it”. You secretly send a hint to outer intention about what needs to be done.

And finally, the third reason is your weave, your snail house, your conditioning: the conditioned thinking that you are not capable of shaping your own reality. Practice more often without focusing too much attention on the setbacks, and when good fortune occurs, lock it in with a thought-marker. It is here, when the confirmations that it has worked come to you, that effort is required. Savor each thought-marker with perseverance, satisfaction and pleasure. Everything else – the plait and the other principles – requires ease and effortlessness.

“As soon as I read about it, I wanted to apply it straight away. For about two days it worked. Yes! Of course, I was delighted because I was out of work, desperate for money, and the plait trick worked. You could even say that it 'produced' for two whole days. I was lucky both in the small things and overall. Then, it was as if it was all cut off, and to this day, there is no response. I follow the instructions to the letter. Why did everything work out in the first two days after reading the book, and now, nothing? For my own part, I still trade currencies on the stock exchange, so I tried to use the plait and intention to shift into a new frame in which the price would go where I needed it to – and I, accordingly, would make a profit on the stock exchange (all this mentally, visually). But for some reason, it is not working. Even the opposite, the price goes the other way, and I make a loss. Perhaps there are certain limitations to this technique?”

There is only one limitation here – the film roll must be yours, the frame also yours, and you are the central figure who is successful; the other characters, like extras, are there in the background. If in the frame you include other people that are on other film rolls, it is unlikely to work. You cannot influence other people. (You can, of course, through NLP, and all sorts of manipulations, but that is a different story.) Nor can you influence the script, “where the price goes”.

It is even harder on the stock market. Here you are not alone. There is a whole horde of people like yourself who want to make a profit. And each person has their own script – for one, it us to get rich, for another, to go broke. It is too difficult to shift onto the film roll you want, if it involves a lot of other people. Or rather, it is difficult not for you but for reality.

Some kind of negative thought-marker is creating a mental block. The plait does not yield one hundred percent results (only a high degree of probability), especially if, I repeat, the interests of many others are wound up in the “deal”. Never concentrate on the setbacks. These should be ignored, seen simply as “side effects”.

This is what you can do. If your task is to play on the stock exchange, set your frame as simply as possible. For example, not as you put it, “the price goes one way or the other,” but as the end result, i.e you make a profit.

Similarly, in the casino, for example, do not compose a frame in which the ball falls on your number; instead, set the very last frame: you collecting your money from the cashier. Do not set a precise amount. You are simply receiving the money. “How much?” is a difficult question. There are so many people in the casino that this will be tricky for reality to calculate.

And one more thing. This kind of reality (especially when it concerns money) should be set beforehand and repeated. Instant good luck is a rare thing. Do not be fooled into thinking that you will wake up one morning, visualize your reality, and enjoy immediate success. No, here what it required is consistent work with the plait, moreover work that is relaxed, free of the tension created by expectation. Easy come, easy go. But when it comes to thought-markers of success, here you should put in the effort – clearly register in your thinking: what works, what you are capable of, your abilities.

That said, I really do not advise playing in a casino, on the stock exchange or any other form of gambling. Not because it is impossible to win, but because in these types of activity, it is difficult to maintain the level of impeccability required, the kind of impeccability that I mentioned above.

“Are there any exercises for training the plait?”

First you need to feel the plait. You can read about this in more detail in the chapter “Plait with Flow”. How it will feel is for you to find out. People experience this is many different ways. It is unique to the individual. The only exercise for training the plait is to regularly spotlight your target frames.

“Recently, I have begun to notice that any event I wish for with the plait subsequently manifests in my dreams. If you dream an event that you have wished for with the plait, does this mean that the order is already fulfilled, or will it still become manifest in my physical reality?”

It depends how determined you are, how seriously you take the task of reality-making, how strongly you believe it to be possible. I am concerned about the word you use: “wish for,” as opposed to “set”.

You need to set reality, not wish for it. Do not dream – intend. In the book, Itfut and Matilda sometimes say, “That's what I have decided, period.” This is an intense method for setting your reality, in which you gather all your powers of determination, and pour them into a single unshakable intention.

But you can also set your reality more calmly, without tension, even without will power. You just have to believe, or rather know, that it will work. This kind of calm faith, faith as knowing, comes with practice. You need to set your reality more often, from the simplest events to ambitious goals. As you continue to receive confirmation, more and more, you will acquire faith as knowing. Your mental “weave” will change.

“How do you achieve more complex goals? Still by dispassionately and impartially drawing pictures, and linking them to the plait?”

Not necessarily dispassionately and impartially. If you like the frame that you are spotlighting, you can engage emotionally. For example: “I'm rocking in a rocking chair beside my own fireplace in my own house.” You can activate the plait and take pleasure in imagining the frame.

Or set the frame with full determination: “That's what I've decided, period. I will have it.” Calmly, but with the utmost determination.

The important thing is this: in the moment that you spotlight the frame, there must be no emotion present that would create excess potential, such as lust, fear of defeat, or doubt. Once you have started, you should cast all doubts aside. Take action. Leave your doubts in the past. You might doubt a bit, and doubt a bit more, but then focus and set your reality in a single moment with calm determination.

In everything else, complex goals are achieved in the same way as simple ones, they just take more time as well as consistent work with the goal-setting techniques: spotlighting the frame, setting the reflection. Besides setting your goal with the plait, you must also live your life as if the goal had already been achieved.

“Could you please explain: are the plait and the assembly point the same thing or not?”

They are not the same. When the plait is activated, its tip enters the assembly point. But you do not have to know this. No one knows exactly how our energy-information field works. Even our physical anatomy is not yet fully understood.

“If you actually plait your hair, will it help?”

No, it will not help.

“Is it possible that if I am left-handed, my intention will work in the opposing way, I mean in a mirror-like way, producing the opposite of my order?”

Whether you are right– or left-handed, it makes no difference. It will have no effect whatsoever.

“My question concerns practice: when using the 'Glass of water' and 'Intention generator' techniques, does it make sense to simultaneously activate the plait? Or is it better to keep these things separate?”

There is no point in activating the plait when using these techniques. Each technique works in its own way. To achieve the goal, it is good and effective to use all three techniques: generator, glass, plait, just apply them seperately. I do not say this because you ought not to, or because it is impossible. Anything is possible. It is just that you will find it easier this way.

“Why is it not always possible to activate the plait? On what does this depend? And also, when I do manage to activate the plait, I feel it between the shoulder blades, but for some reason I also get a sensation in the solar plexus, like when I am nervous, for example, although in this moment, I am completely calm.”
