Reflecting on times when intentions came through

[SunnyDays]

and all that comes to my mind is : I gave up or better I let go of the desire .. Just a few examples

1. Moving to the Caribbean

I tried everything, send applicaitions, talked to people and nothing...
When I gave up on my dream and looked at what other options I have I got a job offer came in and I was able to move to where I wanted to be

2. When I lost my job there, I tried everything and when I finally settled at the thought that I might have to go back .. There was the job offer , a perfect fit for a long time

3. When I was at my ropes end for finding a new affordable apartment and I just gave up I found the perfect place by chance for a very low rent

4. When I gave up in finding the perfect mate, we found one another by a miracle I would say

5. When we just recently gave up on the house we felt in love with and signed already a rental contract for a flat the deal for the very same house came through for the price we were willing to pay

Obviously it all burns down to the fact that my most desirable dreams came through just when I finally let go of them and concentrate on what is there

Hi sunny days,

I know isn't it amazing how sometimes just letting go of something can help it to manifest? I even started a thread in July on just that subject LOA- Can doubts be a good thing and help your manifesting?

I have manifested numerous things over the years (even with extreme doubt for many of them) and a lot of times they manifest after I give up and let go of them. Most of the time the letting go is due to either doubt that it will manifest or just the sheer boredom of just not wanting to focus on visualizing and affirmations anymore.

There was even one time many years ago that I wanted my own apt where I could live alone and by myself because I got tired of the whole roommate situation. I never prayed about this, visualized or did affirmations and yet it still came thru. There is a lot about loa that at least to me seems contradictory or does not make a lot of sense. Now, I know in the case of my wanting my own apt, I did keep wishing for it to happen, but all these loa books always tell you to take all this action and sometimes I wonder if it can get in the way of manifesting things.

I think it is more important to not "need" what you are trying to manifest and when you let go of your desire and start looking into other options, not only do you release that need, but you also let go of your desire to allow it to manifest. I think a certain amount of visualizing and affirmation towards ones desires is necessary, but then I think at some point (esp when the visualizing energy just is not there anymore), you need to release it and give thanks that it is done and just prepare to receive.

You may not have any proof that it is on the way or that it is even going to manifest, but I just think the very act of getting ready to receive what you have asked for shifts and changes out your energy field. This is what is going on for me. But I will tell you I am still challenged by my very analytical mind that needs to see "proof" that what I am doing is working, that the releasing work I have been doing is working, etc. It really gets in the way because if it doesn't see things moving forward then that is when I start getting depressed. So this is what is very challenging to me. But again, even when I would have doubts what I wanted still came thru many times.

I remember hearing one story on TLC channel about lottery winners and how this one guy was so depressed that he was going to kill himself and then he won 5 million dollars. So that is what I am saying about loa and how confusing it is to me. If we are always supposed to feel happy and joyful all the time to manifest what we want then how was this guy able to manifest this lottery win being extremely depressed? I know what it is like to feel suicidally depressed as I was there at the end of last year and there is really no joyful energy within you - so I don't know how he was able to manifest this. He obviously did not have any kind of high vibration necessary to manifest his desires and yet he did.

I would like to add that a lot of times when I do get depressed over my life not going anywhere or moving fast enough - I do tend to see 2:22 on clocks. Supposedly this is a universal sign that what you have asked for is under divine timing.

I am now going to order the manifesting with your angels cd by doreen virtue (here is the link if you want to order: Amazon.com: Manifesting with the Angels (9781401901431): Doreen Virtue: Books

On this cd she takes you 1 year into your future to see what your life is going to be like and I am ready now to see my future - so this should be interesting.

Letting go is simply part of affirming that what you want is there, or is going to happen.

You stop waiting around for it, and because of that it manifests.

You only wait around for something, or "wonder" if its going to manifest if theres an focus you have which suggests otherwise to your desire.

For example, lets say you have a focus for creating a new macbook, but you also focus on the idea that you have to buy the things you want, then you'll be waiting around.

To expand, you set about manifesting your desire. You affirm yourself for a new macbook. Awesome, ive done my affirmations! Ive done my manifestation technique. However, i have a nagging intuitive feeling its not going to manifest. Theres doubt there. So i go into my inner world, and look at the ideas connected at having a macbook. It costs money, i need to buy. These are ideas that are stopping me from getting to the correct vibration of manifesting a macbook.

So now i need to do some release work. I take these ideas, and realise them, there just ideas. There not true statements, there optional focuses. I dont have to buy anything. I release these ideas to the people or things that give them to me.

Then, I re-affirm. Do my manifestational technique, and BAM! I can intuite that my manifestation will happen, ive reached the correct vibrational level.

If you dont do the release work the universe might give you opportunities to BUY the things you want, but it wont just show up until A, you let go of the idea of having to buy things, or B, let go all together.

Then your not "waiting around" or "wondering" its going to happen because you've reached the correct vibration and you KNOW that what you want is going to happen.

Hi Seth,

Your posts are always so uplifting! (I was going to rep you but apparently I already did and need to spread some more rep around. ) and informative! Thanks for being a part of this forum. You are a real asset!

This is making sense to me... But something ticks in my mind if I let it go... Will it not mean that I dont want it anymore.... So that s why I feel I cant let go... Its just my perspective... Maybe i am wrong...

SunnyDays,

For a long time, I was confused about how to actually use the Laws of Attraction and Supply to bring the circumstances I desired into my life. Then I read two passages from the source I've referenced below, which gave me the clue to actually do this. And yes, the clue has everything to do with "letting go".

Here's what Genevieve Behrend wrote: "One of the doormen in the building in which I lived heard much of the mental picturing of desires from visitors passing out of my rooms. The average desire was for $500. He considered that five dollars was more in his line and began to visualize it, without the slightest idea of where or how he was to get it. My parrot flew out of the window, and I telephoned to the men in the courtyard to get it for me. One caught it, and it bit him on the finger. The doorman, who had gloves on, and did not fear a similar hurt, took hold of it and brought it up to me. I gave him five one-dollar bills for his service. This sudden reward surprised him. He enthusiastically told me that he had been visualizing for just $5, merely from hearing that others visualized. He was delighted at the unexpected realization of his mental picture. "

The second passage is, "...your mind is the mirror in which the Infinite Power and Intelligence of the Universe sees itself reproduced...."

What was the clue that connected these two passages for me ?

Just as you and others in this thread have cited numerous examples of how they have successfully achieved the results they sought, there is something extremely important about these experiences that is overlooked. What is that "something"?

It is One. Why One ??

Reflect on the example of the doorman above and you will see....that each and every part of the example is really an interaction within, and of, the One Mind...as seen from apparently different perspectives. Everything that transpired in this example....from the doorman's initial visualisation....to Ms Behrend's parrot flying unexpectedly out of her window....into the hands of the first doorman who was bitten....who then handed the parrot to the second doorman wearing gloves....who then took the escaped parrot back to Ms. Behrend....who then surprised the doorman with $5 for his deed.....is entirely One thing. And that One thing is the Universal Mind.

The expected, or even the "unexpected", realization of our desires is NOT accomplished by us as individuals, though it seems to appear that way. The reason that "...not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without our Father knowing it...." is because our Father, or the Universal One Mind...IS the sparrow; IS the ground upon which it falls; IS the visualizing doorman; IS every atom of the money he received from Ms. Beherend, Who is as much an integral perspective WITHIN the Universal One Mind....as is each and every one of the "unexpected" vectors THROUGH WHICH our own desires came to be....once we LET IT GO of them in our own lives and examples.

....which brings me to the second passage of this clue from Ms. Behrend's book....

".....your mind is the mirror in which the Infinite Power and Intelligence of the Universe sees itself reproduced...."

We are not PART of the One Mind....we ARE the One Mind.....because IT IS ONE THING.....and WE ARE IT, OURSELVES.

Your mind IS, repeat, IS the One Mind....seeing ITSELF through YOUR eyes.

There is ONLY ONE MIND !

What does all this have to do with "letting go" of your desires in order to achieve them?

The Universal Self and the Individual Self....are the same thing !

You must let go of the idea that YOU are the one who must do "something" to realize your desires.

Instead of thinking you are the one who realizes your desires....understand that...

....THE ONE is YOU....achieving your desires!

The destination, or the solution, or the desire is NOT attracted TO you.

You do not use the Law of Attraction or the Law of Supply.

You ARE the Law of Attraction and the Law of Supply.

The destination, or the solution, or the desire is you...

YOU ARE the VERY experience OF the destination, or the solution, or the desire…..NOW !!

And for the record, it really doesn't matter in the slightest whether the One is called, Universal One Mind, Creator, God, or what have you. The important thing to realize is that whatever IT is called....

ALL IS ONE !

There are NO gaps or separations between you and ANYTHING in the One Mind (including you) !

That's how YOU are someone else's solution, desire, or destination.... ALREADY...do you see?

WE ARE ALL TRULY ONE.....

"I and my Father are One...."is just as true of you as it is of all your brothers and sisters on the Earth, wherever they are, however, they appear, whatever they call themselves or you.

"Love thy neighbor as thyself".....because thy neighbor IS Thyself !

How can this be ?

The Creator is Who we, and each other, are....

"I, the individual self" is really the Whole I AM expressing Itself as "a part of the Whole"....you.

There is no one else to BE any one or any thing else.

I AM THAT I AM AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO OTHER

......means exactly that.

This is because you have detached yourself from the outcome.

That's a great post and I believe it to be true, however I think until you experience this shift in perspective it is only understood on an intellectual level by ego and therefore very difficult to realise. Can I ask what led you to your insight? (For the record I'm aware that even saying that is just a belief but I am still living from a mostly seperate view point).

Sponge,

The insight, which I'm still developing, came from a number of sources, which I've provided below. Basically, when I realized that the only way to connect the visualizing doorman with the realization of his desire (each portion of which seemed to be unconnected with each other) it occurred to me that there had to be "something" which brought them all together. The straw that provided the why behind the what came from considering them as "one, interacting thing". How can one proceed from the mental act of visualizing to the physical result of "actualizing" that mental act unless one considers that what we name "mental" and what we name "physical" must each be "aspects" of one another....at a deeper, unseen level.

The only thing that fit the requirements for that "deeper,unseen level" came from my reading about Universal Mind in various books, referenced below.

I had also been reading about scientists' recent experiments which indicated that the Universe, and the subatomic level, can no longer be considered as separate events, but instead, must be thought of as an interpenetrating, infinitely interconnected Whole.

What description could possibly fit what mystics have been saying for millennia that science has only now discovered over the past 2 or so decades (since Alain Aspect's groundbreaking experiement in 1982)?

All is one!

Hope this helps.

The most powerful way to block what you want from manifesting is to desperately want it or need to have it.

I have to disagree with you. The Universe is vast beyond anything we can even begin to image;therefore, it works on a variety of different levels for people and where they are in their lives at the time. I am the type of person who has to be in dire need before I start to redirect my energies towards intentions. People have to find what works for them where they are and as they start to manifest their intentions they will incorporate that cognitive shift.

Wrong

The most powerful way to block what you want from manifesting is to care about losing it.
