Don't Do How

[Max Power]

Your job, your only job here in this reality is to choose what you want and get out of the way. When you want to have something in your life, the best way to get it is to observe you have it and then the answer/method/path will reveal itself to you.

It is not your job to find the 'how' will it arrive and when you try to get involved with the how part, it's usually a struggle, takes forever and often is not enjoyable and then you still don't get what you want.

The problem comes from you (human you) wanting to control everything, you're actually the biggest control freak around and you want to stick your beak into every possbile principle that gets anything done.

Let's say you want money, so you look at every possible way to make money and then you undertake the way you think it will work and what happens? It doesn't work because the how you used came from what you think was the best way and thinking about solutions isn't the best way.

Your consciousness knows exactly how to get anything done, in the easiest, best possible way, but rather than trust that the soltuion will be revealed to you, you say to yourself "no, stuff off consciousnesss, I'm more than capable of getting this done" and consciousness just says back "ok, you're the boss, good luck with all that" and it knows you're going to screw it up, because your job is never the how.

Have you ever just wanted something and it just turned up, easy, fast and you say "wow, that's both cool and freaky" that's consciousness doing the how. Have you ever tried to make money or find love and no matter what you do, it' never arrives?? That's you (human you) doing the how.

Human beans are great ways to observe and enjoy creation, but they are practically useless at how, don't believe me?? Look at your life and look at your world. It will stay that way until you empower the real power of creation, of finding the how.

It's a little unnerving to trust something that seems outside of you, but it's not really outside, it's inside, you've just covered it up with arrogance and denial. When you align yourself with your conscious power, you don't need to know how, the how will arrive effortlessly when you stop trying to choke the how out of creation.

Finding the how is not your job, your job, your only job is to intend (observe) what you want your life to be like and then the how will magically appear and then you can get what you want. Yes some effort will be required, but it won't nearly be as hard as you think, because consciousness loves you so much it would never make it hard for you, if it is hard right now, then you're doing it wrong.

Don't do how, it's not your job

stop trying to choke the how out of creation.

I love it. You rock!!

Max: You are absolutely spot-on when you say

"It is not your job to find the 'how' will it arrive and when you try to get involved with the how part, it's usually a struggle, takes forever and often is not enjoyable and then you still don't get what you want."

Hats off to you, sir!
I wonder why is it so hard to TRUST the Universe...is it ego/pride? What is it that makes it hard to 'let go' the control?

We actually think that creativity comes from our human bean, so we align all out thoughts of creation there and because we self limit ourselves to be 'just human or at least a human bean first then we have to learn and accept what all the other human beans are teaching and learning.

What is a human bean without consciousness? A corpse and that means that all creativity comes from a source that itself is not human and that source is your consciousness, your true self.

It's an identity issue.

Great thread Max.

I am reading The Power of NOW and it gets into the difference between your thining self, and your REAL self (consciousness).... and how it's the times when we are NOT thinking, that the true inspriation comes from, the exciting ideas come from. Only when we aren't thinking, and find those little "mind-gaps".

It's like the "how" is always there, already complete (like you would say, just waiting to be observed), but we think so much that it's impossible to just let it happen.

Good thing plants and animals don't have to think so much. They'd never make it.

CY,

The how is definately always there, no matter what the intention, but we are in such denial over who is running the show we just continually get in the way, we can't give up control because we fear that no one will then be in control, we just don't trust the power because as we identify with our physicality as creative, we deny true creative source

This is very true. It's been the times that I have gone with the flow and just not even thought too much about the "how" that have been the best and most memorbable times for me.... but like you say it can be scary for the ego to let go and then I'll run around like a chicken with it's head cut off "gotta do this! Do that! Time's running out! More work! More goals! MORE MORE!!!"

Lol. I know I'm just rewording what you say but it helps it sink in better.

When we relax and trust, we don't have to be zombies where we are outside of humaness, we can still be headless chickens occassionally and there is a very good reason for being a headless chicken.............it's lots of fun!!

But creative power/source can be confused if our state of being a headless chicken chokes and blinds conscious creative power.

It's the ultimate balancing act.

I love this place. That's my NOW. Just thought I would share it.

How do you know when you've over-stepped your boundaries with the How's? Let's say you want a job. It seems you would first send out some resume's to companies you want to work for.

Or say you're trying to raise money for something or other--you would research grant foundations or possible financial backers and then pitch them, no?

Or you want to eat dinner, so you'd probably to to the grocery store and buy the food you want to prepare.

I'm just confused. I find it really difficult to understand how to not think about the how's?

[Wordsmith]

Max - you make so much sense - I go round in circles stressing about things - I definitely have to stop the "How" and just trust.

I think your confusion is coming from "how" you would do it... Rather than letting the how present itself to you... Does this make sense...?

Let's use your first example...

What you suggest above is you trying to control the how... Instead, focus on the desire to work for company "insert company name here" then just continue to focus on the desire to work for that company, take no action until "reality" shows you the action to take (the how).

[Red Willow]

But doesn't reality always pose itself to you in some way?

If you're trying to lose weight, don't you know you have to exercise and eat better? Isn't that the better way instead of just focusing yourself thin?

Also, help me out. I'm in the process of raising money to make a film. I know I could submit grant proposals and I could solicit individual donors. Or I could not tell anyone about my project and wait for money to arrive. It seems like I would apply for some grants, no?

By focusing on the result of your desire, the "State of Completion" you allow that energy to pull you forward to the goal, rather than working and striving on a journey to reach the goal, the goal itself opens the way.

The goal or result becomes the cause rather than the effect and the journey becomes the effect of that cause.

Your destination determines the course of forward momentum. By focusing on the Destination, it creates the best (quickest, most smooth) path to unfold to get you there.

Any trip made without a final destination clearly formed within the mind (Vision), is merely aimless wandering.

Very good TL, the goal itself contains inside itself the very means to achieve itself. When the goal is clear and focused the means will become clear and focused, not vague and haphazard.

The most important factor I would say other than the sharp focus on the goal........is trust. You have to trust it is so, it is done and the easiest most enjoyable way will be revealed.

It's not supposed to be difficult and hard, challenging maybe, but not a struggle and painful. Humans are the only species that struggle intentively.

IMHO - we ego driven humans struggle because a) we are taught it is the only way to achieve, b) achieving makes us "Speicial", and c) ego loves being special

achieving (work for or strive for) and attaining (to possess the end result) - two separate things.

I don't so much care about achieving anything, attainment is where it is at.

There is a social condition imposed on the masses to sense worth through struggle, we are programmed to believe a goal is only enjoyable on all the human levels if it was difficult and super challenging.

Get rich quick is frowned upon as a scam and for cheats, liars and deceptive means..........but ask anyone if they would rather get rich slow and what will their answer be??............

I am having some trouble with this. Some people use affirmations, some use visualization... I am trying to find the "right way" to do it, like there's an answer to a test I have to get right in order for this to work. I know it doesn't work like that, but that's our conditioning.

I know the key is less thinking though.

CY,

The right way is actually your way, not someone elses. Try to look back and see what you did that worked last time you attained a goal. What was your process?....the answer is right there.

Sometimes we think we need to increase the method when the goal is bigger, but I suspect that's not true. The barriers are all incorrect perceptions, mostly programmed by society.

You're right about overthinking, knowing something and thinking you know something are different

I guess for me it's always been, when I've like play acted. Been the "character" who has what he wants, and feel that way in real time. If I TRY to hold an image in my mind... it seems like too much work. I am a visual person but I prefer to write out short statements and just say them.

Guess I have my answer.

Here's a question though. In the Secret, Bob Proctor mentions debt. He says, "don't say you're out of debt, cause you're still thinking debt."

But saying I am debt free gets me all pumped up, even though it's "negative". I don't know how else to say it, without actually observing the thing I don't want.

I wouldn't even mention debt, I would say (if I was in debt) exactly how much money I required at that time to get me out of debt. Then as my manifesting ability grew, I would increase the amount.

We are always getting what we observe, to observe it is to think (choose) it and the choose it is to make it real.

Observation (observing debt) is to create it.

Max

[torilink]

financial freedom is a good way of wording it.

my personal opinion and what works for me is to know how certain words make me feel. Each word has a corresponding image and emotional state, so debt free to me isn't necessarily negative and doesn't necessarily prevent me from becoming free, but it could - depending upon what thoughts and emotions it stirs in me.

Only you know which words or thoughts bring you into harmony with that chosen state of being.

Thanks for the tips guys, I know I'll get the hang of it.

I know I HAVE the hang of it, I should say.
