So just let it go, eh?

[Amir]

So all of the Law of Attraction masters are always saying "Let it Go!" like it's a surefire way things are going to manifest. I never understood that. Well sure, I would listen to Lilou Mace's YouTube meditation vids that contain the Pink Bubble Technique and I did resort to the Pink Bubble Technique but even by knowing the things are on their way and having good feelings, the things still were take long to manifest.
I watched Lilou's YouTube video titled "Why we're not manifesting what we want" and she said the more we obsess about it, we don't manifest it. But if we live behind the belief that "Oh, If I don't let go of A-B-and-C I'm not going to get A-B-and-C."

What does "letting go" really mean? Don't visualize it every day? Don't think about it anymore? Don't do your visualization + feeling daily techniques? Maybe that's why my manifestation power is so weak. I just asked for a particular DVD and I did the above yesterday and today, so what? Does that mean I'm not going to get it because I did just that? The Universe knows I want that DVD and is delivering it to me now.

People, look. If you want to know how close you are to manifesting the things you desire, do a self-check inventory on how you're feeling about having that thing. The more excited you feel about having it, the sooner and faster you're going to get it. Okay, I'm not the most patient person in the world and I myself kinda get impatient but that's something I hvae to work on.

hello amir! i always find your posts interesting. you seem to be very devoted and eager to learn more about attracting and manifesting and your discussions often generate lots of wise replies. now i'm looking forward to reading what people think about this subject.

The questions you ask (What does "letting go" really mean? Don't visualize it every day? Don't think about it anymore? Don't do your visualization + feeling daily techniques?) are exactly what i myself are trying to find out. just like you, i know the importance of letting go and i've seen that things i've just asked for once and then almost forgot about manifested really fast. but it seems like the more excited i am about something and the more i'm longing for it, the harder it is to let go of it. but maybe then it's more obsession than faith in that it will manifest? i guess the feeling of longing just tells the universe that that thing is missing. so having a feeling of already having it would be better, but hey, that feeling is not a "let go feeling" either...

i think i'm sometimes afraid of letting go of it too, since i'm afraid i will miss opportunities or won't receive it if i focus on something else. because they do say we should focus on what we want, don't they? so how do we avoid getting obsessive but still keep being ready to receive?

Make room for it maybe? Try getting rid of some stuff. I always told myself I was going to give my computer away once I manifest my laptop. But I've always had good feelings about having my new Dell Laptop so maybe I should give it now?
To answer your question the best I can, yes, you should focus and feel positive energy about what you want. They never mentioned "letting it go" in The Secret, and if they did, I failed to recall. Just like ordering something off a catalog, you wouldn't fret about it. You would place your order, send it away and know it's coming. It may not be the next day, the day after that, etc. but you know it's coming. More fret and worry and desperate wanting will only get you more fret and worry and desperate wanting.

Hey Amir, Did you ever hear the saying "A watched pot never boils". I think when they refer to the saying "Letting go" I think they mean Letting go of the "Wanting". It seems to me that you are not getting past the "I dont have it yet" stage. You are so focused on the fact that "You dont have it". If you continue to focus on the "I dont have it yet" you will keep yourself in that state...you will continue to "not have it". Let it go and get EXCITIED. Get in the Im EXCITED mood, and the IM so GRATEFUL mood. How about if you get EXCITED and GRATEFUL NOW instead of later.
Have you ever planned a vacation to a wonderful place. However in the planning you wont be going on the trip for several weeks or months. You book the flight, You book the hotel, you plan the trip event. Now, do you remember how you felt in anticipation of going on that trip. Remember...You Remember! The anticipation was almost more exciting than the trip itself, but you were excited...and you hadnt even gone on the trip yet. Do that when asking/manifesting. Its what I do...Im also learning...Love JILLY

I get it now. Thanks, Jilly!!!

I remember the organizer of an LOA group here in Chicago who always said that It is similar when you order in a restaurant. You do not keep on following up with the waiter since you already have placed the order. You know it would come."

The funny thing that I have heard from Abraham last weekend was: it is good that not all the things that we desire manifest all at the same time....otherwise, we would be in a chaos wondering where would be park the vehicles that we have wanted, maybe, we would not have space for all the new acquisitions that came about and we would be worried who is going to help us with all the maintenance of all of them...probably cleaning those vehicles, moving acres of lawn, etc.

I suggest you read Esther Hicks books. You can find peace to your question.

This is the problem I have with a lot of Law of Attraction teachings. Sometimes it appears that it's trying to convey that visualizing will take the place of having to DO things on the physical plane. I remember seeing The Secret video where one guy says something like, "I used to get bills in the mail...now I just expect checks, and that's what I get now...CHECKS!" Rubbish.

I'm not saying that these things don't occur, I AM saying that there's so much more to all of this. There has to be development before people can create the miracles they expect. Letting go means simply to act with assurance. You want that DVD, form the image, find out where you can get it, buy it. I think miracles happen more when goals are a little bigger that take more steps. That's where you see these laws more clearly. That's where miracle are easier to perceive and they grow. Jilly addresses that perfectly with the excitement built around going through the process of going on vacation...making reservations, buying the tickets, etc.
Another thing to consider is that sometimes these methods are applied to things of minimal importance.Trying to get a new motorcycle, an ipod, all the shiny things, but ignoring what you're here on this planet to do. We're all conduits of Divine EXPRESSION but most of us want to use the mighty forces of creation to collect crap that will more than likely lose its value in very little time. The Soul begs to be heard and we are the mouths of its expression. Being hell-bent on attracting things, things, things is like choking that mouth with Hostess fake cakes.

Create images of what you want to be and do. Take consistent action and adapt when necessary. KNOW that your image with confident action will produce results. THEN you will see miracles take place. There is nothing more powerful than a person following their True Purpose.

From what I have learned, the body is like a machine that we need to manifest our soul's desires. We come to the world to create, experience and remember who we are. If people want wealth, they want it because that makes them feel good. That is the objective, isn't it?....to make yourself feel good all the time. Everyone has their own wish list. Creating and amassing wealth or things is therefore perfectly fine. Millionaire Mind seminar by Herv Ecker makes one understand about one's relationship with money and wealth.

Another thing that I have learned is that there is no hell. Home with God by Neal Donald Walsh explains this.

when I read your blog, I just had to write this.... You were right when you said that the body is a machine that we need to manifest our soul's desires. ANd then you asked about the objective..I;m referring to that part. I think the overall objective or purpose of your life is manifold. Its not just about making yourself feel good all the time. Life is like a tunnel and if you can do time travel and just imagine what your life would be if you did this, or after you had that, and so on and so forth, you will realise that a billion or trillion possibilities could follow from right this moment on. In other words, the life you will lead tomorrow is going to be one out of a trillion possibilities of what it could be. Call it a tunnel or a journey, its the same thing. Say you want a new pair of sneakers, 500more $ in cash, and some sushi. OK. Say a week later you had all three. Now what? Now you might want another 3. But if you go on and on, after a while it will be boring. Only material things will not satisfy you. Its important to satisfy your hunger for material stuff and all physical stuff, but thats not enough for your soul. Just imagine for a second or a minute that you actually have a billion dollars or more. And its not one time ..you have access to a billion dollars at all times from now on in your lifetime. So that money will let you buy and experience anything material. What then? Will you be 100% happy? You need to ask yourself that question. You can have the money to get the things that will make you "feel good all the time" as you said. But what then? Are you going to be satisfied? I think not. Ultimately we have many other needs. We want respect, appreciation, the feeling or achievement, and also the happiness that comes when we have helped another person. Different soul's crave for different things.but these are examples. And the beauty of all this is that as you give, you also receive. So by focussing on just the physical part, your ignoring being part of the bigger circle which incorporates all types of desires. therefore spirituality and material wealth often go hand in hand . and a bit of spirituality makes getting wealth a lot easier. hope this helps!!
