In Unity we use the expression "co-creators with God." What does that mean? My interpretation is that as we get in touch with the creative power within us, which is God, and focus that energy in the direction of our goals and desires, then we allow those desires to come into manifestation.
What is ours to do in this process of creation and what is God's part? God is that creative force within us. As Jesus put it, "It is not I but the Father within who does the work." Jesus was acknowledging that creative force or energy which is our essence.
Our job in the process is to stay focused on this power and to take positive steps in the direction of our goals, dreams and desires having faith that this process is unfolding. Spending time every day visualizing our goals manifested is part of that. Feeling the emotions of having succeeded is the next step. And giving thanks is the third step.
What if we don't see results from these efforts? Well, it might be because of our inner-most thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Do we really believe that we can achieve these goals? Do we feel that we are worthy of receiving this good that we desire? These are questions we must ask ourselves.
There is also the possibility that there is a bigger plan unfolding for us that we may not be unaware of. My husband and I had wanted to purchase a condo in Chicago at one time. We found one we wanted, wrote out the goal, visualized every day and gave thanks and nothing happened. The down payment was not there. We were disappointed and frustrated. Later, it became apparent to us that the reason was that we were not supposed to live there. My new job was in the city and the commute would have been rough. The creative force is intelligent and all-knowing. We must be able to trust that intelligence and not be attached to our goals. When I affirm my goals I often say, "This or something better."
The creative process brings us good things, but it is what we learn along the way that really benefits us long term. In other words, life is more about the journey than the destination. Enjoy the journey!
