The Universe responds to our vibrational state in being...

The manifestations we observe in our lives are here because, on some level, we've invited them to be here. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, we create our own reality by how we express our being in the unfolding here, now, moment by moment unfolding. The stuff which shows up in our lives is here because we are a vibrational match with it. This is how the manifestation process works. It doesn't distinguish between what you and and don't want, it just presents whatever is a vibrational match to what you are offering during the unfolding of the here now moment by moment unfolding.

This is why I often say, "Focus on what you want." This means if you want a joyous life, be joyous during the moment by moment unfolding, and as we become more and more attuned to being joyous all the time, what we see in our reality will reflect that back to us. If we are worried, or angry, or fearful, that is the vibration we are offering to the universe, and we will experience more to be worried, angry and or fearful about.

To become the master, one must be present in the here now moment by moment unfolding, aligned with the divine eternal aspect of our being, radiating this out into our world. Then, when you say, "Mountain, move over there," it will be so. (Don't move mountains :) that was just an example to express how powerful we are when we are attuned to our divine, eternal presence.)
