Dharma: Sorry - I'm afraid my vagueness is intentional
I think dorthy hanna's idea is indeed a possibility.
Also wolfgang's "fear of not being good enough" is the only one that really stood out (although not much) - but that's not really a fear associated with the outcome. Like the fear of not achieving the outcome at all - it seems it is not really a fear to be "accepted".
In the last few months, on this intention, I've had two very convincing alpha reflections with essentially identical circumstances. But after each of those, things seem to have fizzled out.
After some thought, I don't really think Steve's article applies here. There's nothing scary about the outcome (certainly anything that could remotely conceived of as scary I'd already accepted). My guess is that something else is probably killing it.
I've done thinking along a tangent, while writing this, leading from Dorthy's point:
I don't really think too much about the "how" - it's not really part of the intention. Perhaps I'm being too specific. But on the idea of being specific - taking an "Erin's Diner" perspective - it seems it might be better to say "I want this exact sandwich" rather than "something delicious".
I think I might be going "maybe you can't get me this specific sandwich, but - you know - any delicious sandwich will do". But that comes back to my original fear of "what if it never manifests". What does one do about such a fear?
I'm off to listen to Erin's podcast again
