Managing multiple intentions

[The Protagonist]

This is a topic that I am sure all of you probably have questions about. How exactly does one manage multiple intentions?

I went through this past weekend, and thought of all the things that would bring joy to be presently. Then I gave priorities to them on two tiers:

1. I REALLY REALLY would love and appreciate to have this
2. I would love to have this

I came up with this:

Tier 1, Highest Priority

* Getting into a great college
* Finding quality friends (I just finished distancing my self from my old friends who were a negative influence w. me)
* Finding a girl who isn't insecure

Tier 2, Low-High Priority

* $7,500 for the car that I want to buy
* My license back

That's really it for me. I really want to manifest those first three things into my life. But I am not sure how to intend all of those into my life, every time I think about one, I end up thinking about the others as well. Should I seperately intend each? How exactly do you think this works?

thanks!

Why not just intend 'acceptance and abundance' for yourself...

getting into a great college -- an act of institutional acceptance
finding quality friends -- act of social acceptance
finding a secure, confident girl -- act of romantic acceptance

$7,500 for a car -- abundance
getting your license back soon -- institutional/government acceptance

If I were you, and this is just my suggestion, I would immediately begin intending greater acceptance and abundance into your life. Don't worry about nailing down the exact ways you'll experience acceptance/abundance, just know that you'll begin to get things in your life that follow into those two headings.

And, for the next few nights, write down ten things you ALREADY have in your life that qualify as either acceptance or abundance (maybe you have a nice place to sleep at night -- ABUNDANCE example; maybe your parents or a friend love you; ACCEPTANCE example)

These are just examples, I don't know your specifics.

Keep asking for greater abundance and more acceptance and you'll get both. After all, why limit yourself to getting into college and receiving $7,500... why not $10,000 or $15,000, so you have some extra spending money in school... and why not continued acceptance from peers and teachers once you're already in college.

Best of luck to you.

Be careful there - watch the direction of your thoughts.

"Finding a secure girl" is better ...

Yeah, you shouldn't focus on what you don't have. Focus on what you'll be getting.

daveangeles,

Interesting thoughts, I like. In fact I just did the exercise you suggested. It was funny where I felt the resistance (along the lines of "Yeah, but..." comments that popped up in my mind.

I have a number of goals that do centre around acceptance and abundance, to use your terms, but I'd intend them all the time as well.

Maybe this analogy will help? If you wanted to get in shape, you could do weights to get muscle size and definition, and cardio to improve your body composition and oxygen carrying capacity. They both contribute to your ideal body, just like all the things mentioned about contribute to your ideal life.

Personally for me if I'm letting one area slip it will let itself be known to me, so maybe this is a way to go: whatever area you're concentrating on is what you should be concentrating on.

Lots of love,
Colm

May I make one more suggestion about the "finding a girl" intention? Even amending to "find a secure girl" still focuses on lack. The unconscious question is "Dear Universe, please send me a secure girl (not like that clingy, needy creature you sent the last time!)"

Do you think it might be more empowering for you to ask "Dear Universe, please send me (or "I am creating") a loving relationship in which we're both glowing with strength and freedom" - or whatever it is you really want in your relationship?

Also, it might be valuable for you to take on all the responsibility for that issue. Might you yourself have a deeply buried insecurity that you've buried, and are acting out in ways that make your partners feel off-balance? Is there some self-fortification you can do while you're waiting for a great girl to show up, so that she feels safe and will do the same for you? Relationships are mirrors!

Best wishes to you!

"Relationships are mirrors"

Good advice, Angela! Yeah, a truly secure person would not immediately think, "man, I better find a SECURE girl this time around" -- it wouldn't even occur to him.

Yea good call on that, I still have insecurities to get rid of. If you have seen the Matrix you know when the red and blue pill was offered to Neo? Well I see PD and just stepping up to the plate and improving my life as taking the red pill. It feels great, but I still have a bit of my former life in me, and occasionaly the insecure part of me still comes out. What I meant by finding an insecure girl is one that will just roll with the punches, who doesn't need constant validation from me and her friends that she's great, one that is gorgeous on the outside, but doesn't extract her confidence based on her looks. That would be sweet.

hey man thanks for that, my mind set is off, I should just sit back and manifest abundance. I also appreciate that exercise, I plan on doing it tonight

thanks!

"In February 2007, I send out 5 applications to top quality schools: Princeton, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, and University of Utah . By May 2007, I have received word about which ones have accepted me. It is a thrilling feeling to be accepted by several prestigious schools. I make my decision by June 15, 2007 and send in my acceptance.

I have quality friendships. I have attracted positive and uplifting people to be in my life. I have the girl of my dreams. She is not only beautiful, but very secure with who she is. We have a great relationship.

By July 31, 2007 I have $7500 in my savings account for the 2004 Cavalier I am purchasing. I purchase this car on or before Sept 15, 2007. Because I have taken care of my tickets and attended drivers school...I have my license back! What a feeling to be driving in my new car with my girl at my side! WOOOHOOO!"



ok....it was sort of a joke....but I don't get the problem with intending and manifesting multiple things.

GO FOR IT! Just be super clear and add the details. Make sure you can visualize it. If you can't...you need more details and emotions. repeat it daily (or multiples times a day!)

Good luck...and for the record....I have 58 things in my LifeVision that i'm working on Manifesting....and it's all good
