Question:
I am struggling with my feelings concerning the outcome of a circumstance that would have fulfilled an intention that I set. From your books, I learned that intentions attract the elements and forces, the situations, the events, the circumstances and the relationships necessary. You say that we don’t have to become involved in the details. All well and good. So, I have had a goal for myself involving an artistic pursuit and I’ve had this dream for over 30 years. I am not giving up on it but I wonder why the universe keeps slamming me.
Just recently an opportunity presented itself and it seemed like the opportunity was synchronistically placed in my path. So I took all the necessary action to use the opportunity and I trusted that the universe would provide. Obviously, it has not played out according to the way I had hoped. I know I’m supposed to be patient and realize that my time frame doesn’t align with that of the universe. Rationally, I have concluded that whatever the outcome, I should trust that it will be what I need to stay in the vibrational harmony of the all-providing universe. I tell myself that my intention isn’t manifesting because I’m seeing it as something my ego must accomplish.
Here’s the thing, I can’t let go. I want this intention to become manifest. Like I said, I’ve wanted it for a long time. But I am so disappointed because I feel like the universe dangled this opportunity in front of me, gave me hope and now I feel doubtful again. These are my feelings and I have to get them out but how can I turn this around in my head because I’m not giving up on this intention. Can you shed some light on this for me please?
Response:
In your email subject heading you asked, “Is it time for me to let go of my intention?” In your letter you say can’t let go. Intentions are the seeds of manifestation. Like real seeds, they can’t grow if you hold on to them. Letting go is planting them in the depths of your consciousness. It is there that they get the nourishment and support to grow and develop. The law of detachment is just as essential as the law of intention. Rationally knowing you should be patient and trust the universe to bring you what you need, is different than having the actual experience. The feelings of frustration you are struggling with are based on the ego’s perspective that it is not getting what it should. Your higher self does not feel frustrated or lacking anything. If you aren’t meditating daily to give you grounding in that experience of your higher self, then I would recommend you start. If you do meditate regularly, you may want to explore different points of view outside your focused intention to think of ways in which nature is in fact bringing you exactly what you need right now if you allow yourself to see it.
Love,
