The simple question....

[Floridagal]

My question would be simple this time... Without going into technical details in terms of was not ready, did no detach properly, was sceptical and etc. I would like to know when individual turns to LOA (on issues that is very important for him/her) and has faith in it for a prolonged period of time that is intensified with positive visualizations, positive feelings and etc.... What are you suppose to do related to a a particular event that is scheduled on a particulr date that you were all about for a prolonged period of time that is not taking place. How are you suppose to handle it??????

The next example is theoretical:
It is simple to understand how much a person who was looking for love finally met someone and hit it off knowing that the prayers were answered but got his/her heart totally broken after several months because figured out that let's say another person was married and was hiding it or just playing games.

I mean if you have a specific event you are all about it, LOA is in place (please no technical details of LOA). You are exited how are you suppose to feel if that event is not taking place.

Surrender, accept, and take your next right action.

I agree that surrender and acceptance are important.

For me personally, I was starting up a new business. I thought I had done everything right between dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s, had wrote out my intentions was focusing on what I want (LOA), was visualizing how this business would be etc.

All of a sudden by business partner wanted to pull out. This was devastating to me.

My initial reaction was to freak out – but, I quickly pulled back and got back into my space. I realized everything happens for a reason so when I internalized over this, I came to the realization that I could actually do it on my own. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise. I came to terms with it momentarily – I say momentarily because a few days later my business partner wanted back in again.

Had I forced it I doubt it would have happened. So staying focused on what I wanted rather than on what was happening, brought the desired result.

On the other hand one of my daily mantras is “I’m the luckiest person on earth”, so that might have had something to do with it as well

You're supposed to handle it like you handle failure normally. Speaking of, how do you handle failure normally? Its a big part of life/PD, being able to handle failure well. Have you ever gotten an F? How'd you handle that?

You're supposed to feel calm, and in a state of knowing that this thing will come to pass, and detached and free enough to know that your happiness does not hinge on this one thing, so that while you'd prefer this thing to come into being, you'd be ok if it didn't. This is the perfect state of manifestation for me.

Often when I read your posts, I wonder if IM is a tool that connects us with an outside source or if IM is a tool we can use to create our reality from within. In other words, the outside source is the same thing as our inner source. I feel confused and have not come to an undstanding/acceptance with this.

The former would mean laying our destiny on an outside force. This is kind of convenient cause if what we want does not manifest then we can lay the blame, responsibility on the outside force. I might be misunderstanding your posts, but often it feels like you are blaming LOA for your unhappiness. Please forgive me if I misunderstand you and I realise a part of me does not always take responsibility.

The latter would mean, I am totally 100% responsible for my life and what happens in my life.

Obviously, I'm unclear where my beliefs are, but the second option is the one I'm leaning towards.

I do not want to overtake your thread, Floridagal, but as this comes up when I read your posts, it might be relevant.

Its a case of thinking of the solution, not the problem. If all you worry about is the EVENT, and it does happen, then your thinking of the problem. But the solution, the GOAL, when that is thought about, the universe tweaks itself (matybe in your head, maybe actually in the "physical world") and thus success seems easy. Nolens volens you get what you think about.

Good catch, Frans... turns out you're right. This guy is becoming quite the stalker.

It wouldn't phase me in the least. Seriously. No matter what state my outer life was in, internally I am complete, satisfied and content and have never NEEDED anything badly enough to start doubting that my life isn't just perfect just the way it is. Anything gained by actively engaging LOA would be icing on the cake. That is because happiness and joy never ever ever come from outer things. They only comes from within.

The next example is theoretical:

Your prayers weren't answered, obviously, or the man would not have been lying, married and playing games. You just assumed they were. Move on to the next person. Were you looking for happiness by expecting it to come from that person, too? You won't find it there either.

I mean if you have a specific event you are all about it, LOA is in place. You are exited how are you suppose to feel if that event is not taking place.

You are supposed to feel totally at peace, happy and ecstatic for what you DO have. So simple. Yet so misunderstood.

LOA isn't a tool that connects us with an outside source so much. It's a natural connection that is always in place like our nervous system. You can't turn it on or off, it's always working. Integral. But you can fine tune it and use it intentionally rather than just passively.

One's life can either unfold in a reactionary fashion or can be directed intentionally, or a little of both. So there is only the choice of laying our destiny to outside forces by reacting to what happens to you and following the path of least resistance, or the choice of directing it ourselves and being pro-active.

I need to edit my post and replace LOA with IM.

I do not know the full story of why Max was banned, and understand that rules are in place to respect and protect all members, but at the same time cannot understand why he is not allowed back? In society, offenders of the law are imprisoned for a set period and when this sentence is served, are allowed back into society. I guess the question is, was Max's crime in line with a life sentence?

I mean no offense and hope you are open to members asking you straight questions. I learnt a lot from Max's contribution and sometimes wish he was around to help me further in my learning. Max obviously wants back and it is possible there are several of us putting out intentions to get him back.

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. I'm doing it. I'm in the same boat as you.
