I have always assumed that our Angels help us to manifest our desires. I have always asked my Angels to help me to 
create things.
My son wants to go to Nursing School. He had no problems getting accepted, but then block after block started popping up to keep him from being able to start this semester. He does not believe in muscle testing, but I finally convinced him to let me use it to try to figure out what was going on.
One of the questions I asked was ‘Do your Angels have another plan for you.’ I got a very unclear answer, so asked ‘Does your Higher Self have another plan for you.’ I got a very strong ‘yes’ on that.
When we look to our Angels, or god/goddess, or any other being to help us, we are giving away our power. We are saying that we don’t trust ourselves and don’t feel that we are powerful enough to do it on our own.
Our Higher Self is the Highest aspect of who we truly are. It has only our best interest at heart, and is always helping us to move in that direction. Our Higher Self will often include lessons for us to learn, since it is very concerned with our growth and advancement.
It is very important for us to work with our Inner Child, or Inner Children when we want to manifest something. Our Inner Child is innocence and joy. When we include our Inner Child, it is eager to help us. If we want to go to school, as my son does, our Inner Child will be excited about doing something new. It will jump up and down, and start looking for ways to create what we want to happen.
If we want a new car, a new house or more money, our Inner Child will be eager to see that happen. It will joyfully find ways to help you make your dream a reality. It may think of ideas that you could never come up with on your own, and take you in directions you could never imagine.
So, when you want to manifest something, ask your Higher Self to show you the direction that is best for you. But call on your Inner Child to help you to actually manifest it!
