Letting go and let god but creating?

[TiffyLove]

I wrote about the details in the relationship posts so I won't go into it here.


But How do you let go of something and let "god", but also have intentions with manifesting the exact thing you are letting go of.

How do you accept what is and be happy with what is but also intend on manifesting it differently without confusing the universe.

My example without details was.. How do you let go of someone and truly move on, but still intend and vision your life eventually being with that person?

But this is with all things. So many people speak of surrender, letting go, acceptance, but then there is also creating, manifesting, intending, desiring.

You can set your intentions and then live in the moment. But I feel as if when I am doing this with some things, I am sending mixed messages to the universe.

Its like this "Support me in letting this person go and being happy with just me", "I intend on spending my life with this person in a beautiful fulfilling marriage" Doesn't that sound like that is confusing?

This is probably the one of the reasons it is so hard for people to accept and surrender to the moment, because then they believe they will not create what they desire. Lately I have been reading a lot about confusing the universe and now I am confused about how not to confuse he universe.

Lots of posts from you recently round here Tiffy - *hugs*

I think it's like breathing in and breathing out. Actually because it's being active and passive maybe sex would be a better metaphor but anything with cycles ok

You breathe out, and let go of karma (the past). You breathe in, and take in a new future. You couldn't breathe in if your lungs weren't first empty.

You can't create out of intolerance for the present moment. Resisting the present is what keeps things repeating - the universe brings you back to the point where you have remained unconscious to give you a chance to get it right this time.

Something I wrote in my journal recently which I thought was pretty cool was this: "love everything, but choose what you create". Love every step in the path, but choose your direction. How can you open yourself up to a new future if you haven't let go of the past?

You can set your intentions and then live in the moment

Live in the moment then set your intentions. Create as an expression of your unconditional joy in the moment.

You are strength - you are Shiva. You are the creative aspect of God (as well as everything else you are). So create because you are not resisting what you are.

Surrendering to the infinite is not like surrendering to the limiting. It makes you stronger.

I think its about being happy that it is coming to you. I think that it is important to realise that it is possible to be content while still wanting more. Its like a child being happy with what they have got but still asking their parents nicely for a new bike or whatever. The key is to ask nicely -not being angry or depresed because you dont have it.
My personal take on it is that I am happy for what I already have, am happy for what is coming and I trust the Divine Source that if I dont get what I want it is because it is protecting my own interests.
Maybe you could try saying 'Thankyou for what I have. i am so happy that I am in this relationship.' That way you are combining the present and future.
Letting the person go isnt surrendering to not having them, it is allowing the Universe/God to take over the process and bring you what will make y0u happy. It is neccesary to let go just in case that person isnt the one who will make you happy. If you hold on to them then the unniverse cant bring you the hapiness you want.
letting go is about trusting that all your needs will be met.

Great questions. Everybody has to travel through the same ones, you're not the only one that has asked them, that's for sure.

The thing about creation is that it isn't all "intend-intend-intend"... you do have to let go, and that requires both an understanding that the universe hears and responds to the energy of your intention. You consciously imagine (and feel) what you want in detail, but then your subconscious takes that and draws people, circumstances, and opportunities to you to realize your vision. When we continuously try to push forward and "make it happen" despite the appearance of obstacles, that is a statement that we at that moment have forgotten (or just don't realize to begin with) that the universe has heard us and is already bringing things into form to crystallize our desire. I experience "letting go" in those moments as "picking up my oars" and just stopping the effort. Everything else is still in motion, but I'm allowing the stream of life to carry me to where it intelligently wants to carry me.

But what I'm hearing from you is that you may be confusing having an intention for a specific experience with having an attachment to the form that experience will come through in your life. For example, with the relationship...

Rather than fixate on the person as The One, consider that person a profound symbol for you of The One. If life currently is asking or compelling you to release this person, then trust that -- that's the truth of the moment. I know it's not always easy (far from) to do this, but the more you can redirect your conscious thought from expecting that he will be the one you end up with to instead intending that you are brought into relationship with "someone like what he represents to me", his "equivalent", it will help you greatly. And you will certainly be much clearer.

That's another example of a kind of inner work most people have to travel through as well. You're not at all alone in navigating it.

You're actually saying : "I let it go but still want it."

and to me, that means you just have another layer on it, you just THINK you let it go, but you think it in order to manifest it. the deeper fuel is still the "want", and that you're not happy with what is.

I think this is what you're looking for Here you want #6

6) The Law of Detachment
This law says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it. This doesn't mean you give up the intention to create your desire. You give up your attachment to the result. This is a very powerful thing to do. The moment you relinquish your attachment to the result, combining one-pointed intention with detachment at the same time, you will have that which you desire. Anything you want can be acquired through detachment, because detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true Self. Attachment comes from poverty consciousness, because attachment is always to symbols. Detachment is synonymous with wealth consciousness, because with detachment there is freedom to create. True wealth consciousness is the ability to have anything you want, anytime you want, and with least effort. To be grounded in this experience you have to be grounded in the wisdom of uncertainty. In this uncertainty you will find the freedom to create anything you want.

"This doesn't mean you give up the intention to create your desire. You give up your attachment to the result."

I've been questioning the same thing as the OP though in re to a different IM. I really struggle with the above quote and the rule itself. How can you desire to create something and detach from the outcome similtaneously. I understand that one must desire from a place where they feel/behave as though they already have it... but to detach from it? I can't see how this is possible. Unless it means to plant the seed, forget about it and live fully in the present, but surely it is still there in connection with you or with your higher self at least. To intentionally manifest something while being detached from it at the same time just doesn't seem to make sense.

how is that possible?

I am referring to using thought/feeling in order to manifest. Eg: I already have love in my life, therefore I attract more love into my life.

I know what you mean and I didn't want to attack it in any way. I just ask a question.

I simply don't believe in the fooling myself/universe technic.

I don't want you to fool yourself either. And, some of us have discovered that you can't fool the Universe.... You go to the library, and expect there to be books. You go to the farmer's market and expect there to be food. These are strong beliefs, but it is not enough.

So, to go to the supermarket of love, you put yourself in the vibration of love by feeling and appreciating the love that's already in your life or that you are already familiar with. It's not fooling anyone, but vibrations are the currency you must use. Sometimes people day dream (visualize) to get a good vibration currency built up.

Just as you need a library card when you go to the library, or you can't take out a book.

Just as you need currency at the farmer's market.... At the manifesting market, you need a matching vibratory rate. Now, you don't have to manifest. You can just go through life with your "accidental" vibrations, and get whatever comes your way.

We can do a test. What are you feeling most of the day? On what do you spend your money? What do you spend time doing/learning? What conversations do you join at parties? Are these things reflected in your life?

If not, then, I've gone astray somewhere.

To me this means and I'll have to use an example here. Let's say you want a new car, A red sports car, A mazda, An RX-8 with gray interior, power windows, A 6 speed...

Now this is what you want to create in your life, to experience driving it, to wash it and take care of it, change to oil etc, etc... To own it... To experience it.

Do you care how you get it? (detach from the outcome)

If you're thinking "well, I could do this or I could do that, to get it..." You're not on the right track... Let go of how you could get it... Let go and embrace the possibility that tomorrows events will organize themselves to get you closer to owning your sports car...

Do you know what events will transpire tomorrow?

To me Faith lies in the view point of the "Let's see what happens" approach... You want the Mazda RX-8... Let's see what happens... Allow the universe to re-organize it's self. Detach from how you think it will come into being and let the universe (or god or source or your higher self, what ever you want call it) do it's thing... Be happy (high vibrations) in knowing in the fact (belief) it's coming.

Don't take my word for it, or anybody else for that matter... Test it for yourself. Start with something small, you'll eventually see, that somehow, you're connected to events that transpire in your life. That it's been you the whole time...

that's cool I have no problem with that. I'm just talking about that "easy" way that a lot of people seem to believe and say it works but doesn't.

You know, when they say that if you're broke, you have to tell yourself "I'm rich". You won't become rich just by repeating and repeating affirmations. All you will manifest is anger and disappointment, because your deeper mind will always know that you are not rich. You have to go a lot deeper in yourself.

I find this very interesting! I am usually feeling anxious and unsatisfied. I spend most my money on food, bills, and all spare money on personal development and growth, I spend most my time learning about the universe, the mind, personal growth, and spirituality. The conversations I LOVE to join and have with friends about the universe, the mind, and spirituality.

Not sure how they are reflected in my life. But I can see in some areas I am coming from a place of lack and scarcity which is reflected.

Great questions.

This is exactly what I have been NOT doing. My mind goes over and over and over how to create what I want.

Thank you for this. This brought a lot of clarity!

I can see clearly how when every new event came up in our relationship or anything I prefer to manifest that I would react to it on the basis of manipulating the creation of what I desire. Instead I should come from the heart and trust that it is coming.

Example, when making decisions I was always coming from a place of what do I do now in order to get "that" to happen! Instead I should just trust it is "coming" and react from love and THAT MOMENT.

Great post!
