Please Help Me Figure This Manifestation Thing Out!

[Seth Ananda]

For me the keys are Congruence, Will, Action, Consistency.

 

Congruence: Having most of your deeper being feeling good about what you are wishing to achieve. It makes things a lot easier. If your heart is really in it, then wow!
Necessity is a beautiful adjunct to this, as your whole being is most likely online in the face of Necessity, and stuff happens really easily in these circumstances.

 

Will: It is Will charged with purpose {and congruence} that moves mountains. Its not positive thinking like 'the Secret' says. All kinds of shit bags throughout history with minds full of negativity have focussed and achieved their horrendous goals via will, not positive thinking. The more congruence you have the easier it is to mobilise will.

 

Action: With congruence and will in place, take action in the world. Set up avenues for the world to answer through. Don't sit and wait for a lotto ticket. Get up and do something. Follow your path and watch the doors swing open.

 

Consistency: Keep at it!

Seth has outline one way.

 

Will can be used and it will work but it is not necessary.

 

Will is a compression of sorts - a bending.

 

If you remember in the Matrix as the fighting progressed, at one point Keanu is fighting with will but then he drops that and moves to zero effort - he essentially left the fight and moved to an entirely different plane.

 

You will at times find yourself in "the zone"'in this and if it is sustained for any length of time it is as though your wishes walk up to you almost instantaneously and definitely with no effort.

I am not sure what you mean by the shift in tone. My previous replies were written when I was tired, kind of out of it. My mindset or state was not "up", as it has been today and still is, at this present moment. I was a little down, discouraged.

 

It is odd that I am actually "up" right now because I suffered a setback and failed to manifest what I wanted again when apply the things I have been learning from this thread just the other day. By all rights I should be depressed. But strangely I am not. I can not say why, exactly what has affected me. Is it writing this poem, after my failure to manifest what I wanted?

https://blisswriter.wordpress.com/2014/11/19/begging-bowl/

 

Or is it because I finally consulted that voice inside? Or maybe my happiness is not dependent on something that has happened to me, my "I"? Maybe I am just in what could only be described as a happy state and it has nothing to do with my circumstances? I am not sure.

 

If you are referring to the words, in different font, in my previous post, those are not, to my knowledge, my words. You aren't hearing me speak, I did not write them. My physical hands typed those letters and words out, but the words came from somewhere else, possibly somewhere inside, as I described, not from me. They are not my words. You are reading the words of someone else, I just transcribed them.

 

Who or what the someone else is I have no idea and I make no claims. Hell I don't even have to know! It is enough for me to have that communication available to me. No need to look a gift horse in the mouth, so-to-speak. I will let others debate if that is what they want to do. I am happy just being able to consult this voice and get advice.

 

I do apologize for any confusion, I hope this clarifies things.

 

Thank you for sharing your advice for yoga. I appreciate it, but that is not my path right now, at this moment. That is just another religion, another set of religious practices. I love Ram Dass, find him an excellent teacher, and I will, someday, finish "Be Here Now." There is much good in there, much to learn. But it too wants to take me along a yogic path, and I will learn what I can from these materials as I follow my own path, my own way up the mountain.

 

I am done fumbling blindly over the elephant, arguing with everyone what it is I am feeling, what this thing must be. Waste of time and energy. But no criticism and judgment on those compelled to continue feeling the elephant. Everyone has a right to their own path, religion or spiritual practice, even lack thereof.

Although unnecessary to say, I completely agree. I also agree with Seth Ananada. I think there must be stages to this thing. I have come to understand that will is, as I said I think initially, strain. It is force. Like trying to force yourself to take a dump. Strain all you like, relief will come, and possibly a hernia!

 

But there also has to be a determination. You sit on the toilet, that is the action taken towards what you want to do. You let the process happen. But you don't get up until it is finished. There is will involved in being patient, not straining, allowing the process. That form of will is the kind needed for manifestation I think.

 

Another pointed out this effortless way. I refer to it as flowing. I love your example! I need to watch those movies in HD now. They are almost a spiritual practice in an of themselves! But yes, this is also a truth taught in the martial arts. You will hear me say, "Be a martial artist with life." You use the energy or force of a thing against itself. Referring to a sailing analogy someone else used, you tack with the wind. I think that is the proper phrase. The point is you use the wind against itself.

 

Trying to make something happen is very trying. Using great effort requires great effort. You can wrestle Achilles to the ground, or you can slice the back of his heel. Your choice. I know this mostly intellectually. But I have gained some experiential knowing of this process. It is just another thing that must be practiced, like a martial artist performing their stances.

 

Thank you.

Before I start in...

 

Spotless

I have a sudden feeling of what I think is love for you. I am smiling, after reading what you have said. I think, if memory serves, I have always found you, more than anyone else, challenging. You are the bed of coals one must walk on, or the bed of nails one must lay on. Thank you for that!

 

@all

I have read the rest of your responses and I thank you. Now I have something to share with you. I am not sure I have mentioned it here previously, but recently, just a few months ago, when working with my dreams I found I could hear a voice inside. I have tested this voice, consulting it to translate a dream for another. I have an account at DreamViews for the subject of dreaming. They told me it was spot on. So as far as I am concerned this voice is not me. If it were to emanate from anywhere, have a location, it would be in the center of my chest. I sort of focus there to "tune in."

 

Now I bring this up because my first response,whenever I have a problem, is to come here with it. Spiritually based matters primarily. It never occurred to me to consult this voice until last night. I struggled with resistance all day doing it, but I came to this voice with a number of questions, and I will share some of these, and its answers. When I am doing this sort of thing brackets [] symbolize stuff coming from me, parentheses () stuff that come from it which I did not feel the need to write down or simply decided to add later. A lot of forward slashes / to combine things. Hyphens - as a pause, break in thought or for emphases.

 

Here:

 

Why am I unable to manifest the things I need or want?

 

You do not have faith. I keep telling you to have faith. Be faith. But you won't listen/are unable to hear. You must have faith in order for these things to be provided. You must know that you are receiving whatever it is you ask for. There can be no doubt, doubt = resistance. If there is doubt, throw it out! You must have faith, must believe, must know, that whatever you ask for is provided. But you are covered in fear, and doubt. You base this on your previous lack of manifesting an asked for thing. But they are built on one another. Those attempts did not work either because you did not have faith. When you received the coffee beans you had enough faith. Find a way to have faith, carry that faith with you. Like Indiana Jones stepping into the chasm, having faith there is a walkway there. You must have faith! Things will be much easier for you once you do.

 

(That is all.)

 

How do I manifest the things I need or want?

 

By faith. It really is as simple as that. The universe will give you whatever it is you ask for, whatever you need or want. But you have to believe the universe can and will do this. You must have faith. You must live it, breathe it like air. Your whole being must be infused with it. There can be no room for fear and doubt. Your being must radiate faith, a confidence and a knowing that the universe can, does and will provide. This is the one great and universal Truth. You have been seeking the Truth for so long, well here it is!

 

Faith, like everything else, must be practiced. It is a combination of confidence, trust and knowing. It is the thought that the universe provides returned to for so long that it becomes a belief. Once you believe the universe provides, and hold that feeling for a long time, it becomes/transforms into faith. Once you have held onto this feeling of faith for a long time, doubt and fear simply can not manifest in your experience. There is no room in which these things can grow.

 

The tree you so often use as your example has faith. It is not a faith as understood by humans. Faith is independent of intellect. The tree's faith is a feeling, of the sun, wind and rain on its skin its bark and leaves. It is the feel of dirt between its toes its roots. When a tree feels these things it demonstrates faith. It grows, puts out branches and leaves. When a tree feels the lack of any of these vital elements it looses faith, and so dies.

 

Faith is a feeling, one that must be maintained, for life and a connection to All Good Things. Without faith demonstrating in your life you will, like the tree, begin to shrivel up and die on the inside, the most vital part of you. Not in your physical body, not initially. Your physical body will follow suite however, it too will shrivel and die, because whatever happens to you on the inside energetically manifests on the outside. The lack of faith inside becomes the cause of the physical symptoms of death on the outside. You must have faith, it is vital! Absolutely necessary in order for you to thrive as an individual and as a person, even as a society.

 

What is it you are having faith in? What is it you are developing faith in? What is it you are practicing faith in? Quite simply, that the universe provides. You can call the universe whatever name you like. Whatever name you give it, it always provides. Your faith in the provision opens you to that provision. It allows you to receive whatever it is you ask for. Without faith your receiving will be blocked or interfered with. Your manifestation will be incomplete, if its manifests at all. Only tree's faith in the sun, in the wind and the rain, allow it to open, send out branches, send down roots, sprout leaves and thereby grow. The instant tree is not living in faith it begins to die, period, end of story.

 

How else do you think cactus survives in the desert? What other creature on earth has more faith than a cactus, that water, eventually, will come? So the cactus holds on, and it gets the water it needs. This is the kind of faith you must display, even in the harshest of circumstances, if you want to receive whatever it is you are asking for.

 

(That is all - there is nothing more to say on this subject.)

The general message here is very profound - it is dependent on how you read it - you are not giving faith to "other", you are giving faith to a freefall within. Your are having faith in yourself that has no name the unborn the spotless.

 

The tree is not dependent on the sun and the earth - it is the sun and the earth just as that that is you is all. This is the Awakening and fear will close in upon this or fall away.

 

If you are hearing these whispers you have good guidance - don't be so swift to package your understanding of it.

This is your breath; observe it. Especially in that which pertains to the rhythm of you words, their cadence not their content.

Try writing with out using "I", experiment with the use of another perspectives.

 

Ignore the voice as a second person; it is you it is me, we are universal in regard to citta; listen to it but do not personify it; you might consider that you are listening to your own heart beat.

I have found a habitual thought pattern of lack, especially in regards to money, tied up in a knot of deservedness, earning and worthiness.

 

Like any elephant, I must eat this one a small bite at a time. I have found these other threads and begun to pull.

 

Of course all three are in duality. If you must feel worthy, then you must have felt unworthy at some point. If you feel deserving then you must have felt undeserving before. If you feel you have to earn whatever it is you receive, then you have definite issues of self worth, the same as me. You have to watch, because asking then becomes confused and interchangeable with begging. Which is why I started to follow tree's example and claim what I wanted. I had to, I am not yet able to ask without, in some capacity, being on my knees, hands out in a bowl or spread out on the ground in front of me in supplication.

 

This is the trap you find in religion, and it is enforced by society. You continue to enforce it as long as you believe that, "You must work to eat." This is brainwashing. You are being programmed in such a way that you disallow yourself from All Good Things. I am adapting this phrase from the voice inside me.

 

These understandings came to me today, while my parents sat in church one wall over, and worshiped God, then heard about God, and continued to be enamored of the finger pointing to the moon, instead of the moon itself. I am glad I decided not to join them today. My time was spent much more wisely, if time was a commodity that can be spent, which it isn't. All these things, including Time, keep you from experiencing God. Paraphrasing Tolle here.

 

I will write on this more extensively later and provide a link. The point is that I have found what I perceive to be the issue. I have a handle on this, something I can bring my awareness to. I now know what is the most likely culprit in my inability, up to this moment, to manifest things as I would like. As I learn, so I will share with you. If I were to leave nothing more behind than that, my sharing, that would be enough.

 

But keep in mind, again paraphrasing Tolle, these are the second principle, not the first. You can catch the first, but trying to write the first down makes it become the second. Understand that, at best, anything I share is a finger pointing at the moon, at worse its pointing off into space somewhere. But it is not the moon, or space, or anything else. Just a finger. Just words. To know the truth you must experience it for yourself. Fingers can only point you in hopefully the right direction. But you have to get there on your own.

 

Throw out your Bible. Next Sunday, instead of going to church, bundle up warmly, find a tree, and sit down at its base. That is where you will find God, if you find God anywhere. In the sitting, tree at your back, watching the leaves fall, watching the branches move in the wind, feeling the sun and the rain on your skin. In that moment of awareness and openness God is speaking, and you can choose to listen.

I think you have to have a clear understanding of the true nature of thought.

 

Thoughts are realities in themselves that have their own vitality and differ from matter only in terms of quantity not quality. You might say that they are simply at a lower level of light than that which appears to have solidity.

 

Thoughts are like spores of pollen that have the potential to grow into solid oak trees, when given conscious attention.

 

If we believe thoughts are private mental events then this belief will seriously compromise our freedom to manifest them. We shall only be able to manifest what we believe we can manifest. And our beliefs will of course follow the conventional lines of normal limited human agency in a world governed by natural laws.

 

It is only when we start to realise our true selves, and experience ourselves as transcendental selves, that thoughts shall appear as objective things 'out there' alongside matter. The we start to see the similarities between thought and matter, rather than the Cartesian duality which is the normal view.

I do not agree. Its in any moment of awareness, be it either reading the Bible or sitting under a tree or going shopping at a supermarket. Its in the awareness of the hard concrete just as its in the awareness of the soft soil.

[DreamBliss]

I aplogize. I need not mean to imply that God was only there.

 

I was offering an alternative to going to church and playing spirituality. A way to experience spirituality.

 

It is not found in the temple walls or pages of its scriptures. It is there, God is always there of course, but the voice is obscured.

 

What I meant is that you would get more spiritually out of sitting down at the base of a tree and listening, where God's voice is not typically obscured, than you would in church.

 

As a channel to hearing God's voice a trree, as well as other plants, are direct lines of communication, since no plant has an ego. As a result they are hooked up directly.

 

If I were, for example, of the Native American culture and familliar with their traditions I am sure I could explain this far better. I will leave that to any Native Amercians in here.

 

In short, there is nowhere God is not. But this energey or entity is less onscured in some places than others. If you are are a place in your life you can hear God in the concrete, good for you! The typcial church going Amercian, I would say, is not.

Hi DreamBliss,

 

I have not read all this thread but have a look here:

I really think sometimes all this law of attraction stuff just needs to be thrown out.

 

Just be happy with what you have, because it could be a lot worse.

 

It you're resisting this present moment as you want it to be different from what it is, then you're resisting yourself.

It you're resisting this present moment as you want it to be different from what it is, then you're resisting yourself.

I agree to a degree but it keeps on popping up in places and I am trying to figure all this out so I have to investigate and understand.

 

 

My words are always "it could be worse" as I think that makes me appreciate what I have so I agree. But that does not mean I should or could stop desiring for things I feel I want/need and that it can not get more fulfilling in a new moment. And so I look for the best way to acquire my dreams...

 

 

But ultimately I have to accept this moment totally for true happiness and peace. Also ultimately I will attract or be attracted to the things I need naturally, so why worry.

 

 

That is also what Sen the guy in the link I posted above says, be natural and it will all happen anyway...

Edited November 27, 2014 by Infinity

[DreamBliss]

The thought that, "It could be worst" is a time perception based on the past. You are looking back over the course of your life, all the things you think of as having happened to you, and you are looking at whatever your experience is right now, then saying, "it could be worse." Its oppsite, lookng at the future, based on te things you percieve as having happened to you in the past, is, "it could be better."

 

How about we throw out all, "it could be worse" and "it could be better" then see what's left, right now. No thoughts about the past or the future. Just right now, in this moment. No comparisons, no critisizing, no judging. Right now, in this moment, with no comparisons, criticisms or judgments, what are you experiencing? Go further. Is there even a you experiencing anything?

 

I have come to some deeper knowing, some deeper understanding. I want to say I get it now, but there may be more, and I wish to remain open.

 

When I tried to manifest things I was doing so stuck in a rut of time. On one side my past, the other my future, based on my past. The past no longer exists except in memory, which is biased and caught in duality. The future does not exist either, I can only take what I bave experienced so far and surmise what I think to be my likely experience later. Sometimes its accurate. If I commit a crime, I know sooner or later I will go to jail. But nothing, even this example, is certain.

 

The only thing I can really know for certain is what is happening right now, in this moment. In this moment, the only way my past can affect me is if I let it. In this moment the only way the future can affect me is if I let it. It is not the past and future that can have any affect on me. It is only my thoughts about the remembered past and the percieved future.

 

If I am stuck in a rut of time of course I can not manifest anything, or if I do it is a struggle, I meet what I percieve to be obsticales or resistance. This is because the only future I am thinking about is my percieved future based on my remembered past. I create for myself the future I most think about, most believe in.

 

All beliefs are habitual thought patterns, all habitual thought paterns are thoughts I kept returning to. I thought a certain way about certain things long enough it became the way I automatically thought about that thing. At this stage I am not aware I am thinking this anymore, and it becomes a belief. The proof for what I believe exists in what I experience. But I only experience what I do because of my habitual thought patterns. I am attracting to myself the exact future I believe in, which means the one I thought so much about it became a habitual thought pattern, and this all started as a thought I held on to.

 

In other words how do I expect to manifest something other that what I believe I will experience? The only way to manifest something other is to choose to think about it until the point it becomes a habitual thought pattern, and then a belief. That is the only way. As long as I am stuck in a rut of time this is hard, if not impossible, to do. The only way to manifest something is to be outside of my thoughts of time. I must leave the rut, and I do this by being in the present moment. Here, in the present momnent, there are no thoughts about the past or the future.

 

How do I know what my mindset is? By how I feel. If I feel that my life is a burdern, it is hard, it sucks, this is because I am in a time rut. I have a focus on the past, or the future, or, more likely, both. Not on the actual past or future, because these do not actually exist. Only my thoughts about the remembered past and the percieved future. Of course it is in such a state where I feel my life is meaningless and worthless, a burden, that I do not wish to live, that I become tired of living. By being trapped in a time rut I am being worn down. I am, figiturvely and literally, killing myself. I am commiting sucide.

 

Furthermore I am justifued in my actions. My life sucks. It has always sucked, Because it has always sucked, it will always suck. I am almost 40. At best I have anotehr 40 years to live. I didn't get anwhere yet, so how do I expect to get anywhere in another 40 years? I may as well give up. This was my mental state, and the last vestiges of it remain, but thankfully I am aware of it now. Awareness is key! In order to change my mental state I must bring awareness to my thoughts. In order to manifest something I need or want I must be aware, and fully present, in this moment.

 

I am now going to quote myself, as I have been writing about this today, "My path is clear. I know what I need to do. I need to release the past and the future. In the famous words of Ram Dass, I need to, “ Be Here Now.” I thought I understood those words. But today I think maybe I have come to understand them for the first time. I never really got it until today. If I want to manifest somethng in my life, I have to do it in the present moment. I am not in the present moment if I am in a state where my life is percieved to be a burden. In that state I am focused in the past or the future or both. In that state the present momeht is obscured by time and I am not seeing it clearly. If I am at ease, joyful and light, then I must be fully in the present moment, and it is in that state that I can manifest anything I need or want. It is in that moment I am fully aware, open and receptive.

 

In any other state trying to manifest something will become a struggle, worse my inability to manifest will be used as evidence to reinforce a state where I am unable to manigfest anything. I will sneer at the teachings and say they do not work. I will call them “New Age Bullshit.” I will feel justied in this because I was unable to manifest anything. Furthermore my perception of the world seems to prove what I believe.

 

This habitual mindset that has no more reality than a dream of a tar pit. I will get together with others, who share similar beliefs as I do, and who, as a result also can not manifest anything. There may be hundreds or thousands of us. Our collective belief energy and vibration will infect hundreds or thousands more. Then “reality” will become exactly what it is percieved to be right now, in this moment. We call this “reality” the real world. But it is no more real than a dream of a tar pit. Waking up fully from this dream is called enlightenment. When you are enlightened, then you experience the reality of the world.

 

You don't need to be enlightened to wake up enough to see that the only reason your life is the way it is is because you made it that way. You can wake up, just enough, to enter, if only for a few moments, the present moment and a state free of the obscuration of time. In that state you can manifest something you need or want. You can start habitual thought patterns that become beliefs which support your manifestation.

 

Furthermore, just as those who are not in that state can get together and infect others with their collecive energy, you can as well. You can help others enter the presnet moment, manifest something they need or want, and begin to develp habitual thought patterns that become beliefs which support manifestation. The more of you there are, the more “reality” and “the real world” change. It is really as complciated and as simple as that.

 

What the majority of human beings experience right now is the collective energy and habitual mindset, solidified into beliefs, of humanity over the course of its existance. This is changing, but it can change much faster, the more of us that escape time and enter the present moment. Life does not have to be the way it is right now, in this moment. Our present moment experience can change, moment by moment. Which means our life experience can change, and that means our “reality” can change.

 

The “real world” is no more a concrete reality than a dream of a tar pit. Any power it has is given to it by us. We can choose to accept it as our reality, or we can choose to reject it as our reality. Things can happen that can trick us, seem to enforce what we think of as reality. We can find a myriad things to justify our beliefs. But it is all a dream, it is all thoughts, and it can be changed, just as dreams change, just as thoughts change. Here, in the present moment, wee experience Truth."

 

I do not know how well this will tie in with everything. I was using the example of an elephant dreaming of a tar pit, thinking it so real that it felt trapped and began to die. So that is what the whole tar pit thing is referring to.

 

I see it now. In my time rut, where the present moment was obscured, I was unable to effectively manifest anything. My inability to manifest became my justification for my doubt of the teachings, and this all contributed to my continued inability to manifest. It both justifies my mental state and reinforces it. This thing is fucking devious! Even if you get through all that you will have to deal with the collective energy of others who are still stuck in their time ruts, still not manifesting, and somewhere in the back of your mind is a whisper that it doesn't work for anyone else, so why would it work for you?

 

idiot_stimpy, do you see now? Have you been able to become aware of your time rut? If not that is OK. When you are ready you will. When you are fully aware, in the present moment, free of past and future, you should manifest something you need or want. Admit, accept and allow any doubts, fears resistance. Admit, allow and accpet your thoughts about past and future. Release all these and let them go. Check your emotional indicators. If you are feeling joyful and light, you are ready. Manifest. Then come in here and share your experience. These same instructions apply to everyone else. I am applying them as well.

 

I write this as the start of the process for me. I have become aware of my mental state. I have come to understand these things. Tolle's ,"The Power of Now" helped point out the moon to me. I am now headed in that direction. I think I am at a pont now where I need to share this information, so I am considering writing a booklet and making it freely available. If you have any suggestions or thoughts, if you would like to help, PM me.

 

We have always been free. It is true. It may not have felt that way. It may have felt as if we were in a tar pit, unable to escape. But the tar pit is a dream, a thought. The rut is a dream, a thought. Only our beliefs, collective and individual, in their reality made them real to us. Since we made them real to us, we can make then unreal. We can wake up from the dream. We can change our thoughts. No matter what our life situation, we choose what we think, without exception, whether we are aware of it or not.

If you see thoughts as a dream/not real, are you prepared to give them up for good?

[DreamBliss]

If you see thoughts as a dream/not real, are you prepared to give them up for good?

 

It is not about loosing them or holding on to them, running away from them or resisting them. It is all about being aware of them.

 

You only know what thoughts you are thinking when you are aware of those thoughts. You can only change what you think when you have come off autopilot and become aware of what you think.

 

It is in awareness that thoughts loose their power over you. You see them for what they are. You realize the truth for yourself. Nobody can give you this, you must take it.

 

I am paraphrasing some of the teachings I have been reading. These are not my words. They feel right, they resonate with me. I think they pointed me on the right direction. So I share them with you.

 

I am willing to release and let go of my thoughts about the future and the past. In fact I am in the process of this now, as I continue to practice awareness of them. I can only admit, allow and accept the thoughts I am thinking when I have become aware of them. Only from that distance away from them, no longer immersed in them, can I allow them to work themselves out as I let them go.

 

Of course if a thought has become a habitual though pattern, and from there become a belief, I must seperate it from my identity, my sense of self, my "I." This is not easy, it is hard to "give up" a part of my identity. But as long as it is a part of my identity my ego will drive me to protect it at all costs, and that will cement me in this time rut, this vivid dream of the tar pit. If I wish to be free of that I have to rip away all these thoughts that have become a part of my sense of self.

Build it, whatever it is, in the mind, that's where manifestations originate, that's where the manifested computer you're reading this on originated. Build it in the exact detail that you choose to be manifested, in every detail necessary for the manifestation to be real. Be grateful for a process that allows for this to happen. Trust completely that the idea will manifest, and conduct your life as if it is already done, as if you will actually manifest the constructed idea. Now, just do it.

 

Faith, without works, is dead. ideas bouncing around in your head, are not manifested. Do it, 'works' make it happen. Do not sit around thinking it will magically appear, it won't. Each doubt, each non-doing-it moment, alters the manifestation materially and the timing of the manifestation.

I really think sometimes all this law of attraction stuff just needs to be thrown out.

 

Just be happy with what you have, because it could be a lot worse.

 

It you're resisting this present moment as you want it to be different from what it is, then you're resisting yourself.

It's interesting to watch the LOA advocate be abusive to others then be all upset when the same energy comes back to them..

We are all blind men feeling up an elephant. No need to label each other and give power to the ego through an us VS them mentality.

 

I sure hope this elephant doesn't turn out to be male, and if it does, I sure feel sorry for whoever is in the hindquarters area....
