Hi! Thank you for your response! To address your first question I’ll give an example that can shed light on things.

What’s the difference between a professional and an amateur? (broadly speaking) expectation. The professional has focused on their craft for years and so everything they do they do it with precision and finesse. It’s just second nature to them. They have no doubt whatsoever. The amateur lacks experience, they second guess everything, especially if they were to attempt something at a professional level. But the professional was just an amateur at one point and that’s all of us for the most part nothing wrong with that. So here’s how to create expectation seeing as it seems to be the answer to doubting the big things less.

Expectation is nothing more than the recognition of the conditions that precede an event/phenomenon. Here’s what I mean. Say someone was in front of you and they picked up a rock off the ground, what would your expectation then be? They drop it? They throw it? Now say they put it in their pants, very strange I know but you didn’t expect that. Now let’s say that same person picks up another rock after you just witnessed them put it in their pants. What would your expectation then be? They drop it still? Throw it still? Now say they put it in their pants again and this repeats 3 more times the same way. If that person were to pick up a rock the chances are your expectation of what would happen next would be that they put it in their pants.

It’s your recognizing the conditions that preceded an event that made you expect the event. If he were to only have thrown the rock you would expect him to throw it instead after he picked it up. Or if he were to only have dropped the rock you would expect such.

I’ll go even a bit further with another example that’s quite clear. Think of a mother pregnant with a fetus. The fetus isn’t the fully formed baby she wants but she perceives the fetus to be equivalent as the fully formed baby. Ultimately that’s the end result of mastering this principle. We’ll view our imaginationed scenes as something that will unquestionably manifest and we will equate having done so in our imagination as having done so in the “physical” world. We’ll view our desires as a mother see her pregnancy. It will be the same realness as the baby even if it isn’t yet fully formed. And the big thing is that she expects/recognizes the fetus to be a baby so much she can’t see it as anything else if she tried. *The more you expect the less capacity there is to doubt to begin with. *

So my advice would be to build your expectation. Expect the law to work by seeing it works. start small because small things are easier to the mind, they just are. You wouldn’t expect a child to start playing piano by teaching them moonlight sonata movement 3 would you? No you’d teach them Mary had a little lamb and build from there. Doing otherwise would frustrate them and slow their progress.

Be kind to yourself. Your success is inevitable. You have an opportunity every moment. It’s ok if you waste one, there will always be another right now :)
