letting go of the proverbial "banana"

[ziva379]

Hi there,

I was wondering if somebody could explain to me how to "let go" when you really want change. Dr. Bartlett says that you need to "let go" and "trust". And there's also this concept that what you think about repeatedly you bring about. Well, you need to stay focused if you want something... so how do you walk that fine line between letting go and staying focused?

Thanks and namaste!

RE: Letting go

Hey there, I saw your post and thought I'd offer my 2.5 cents

People often make the mistake of thinking that happiness comes from changing the world, or if EVENT A or B happens, or if win lotto then I can be happy.

Letting go is simply about just accepting what happens in your life for what it is- a passing moment. Call it good or bad, the only consistent thing in life is change.

This is not to say that you can't enjoy the good things in life, just don't look for your happiness outside of yourself, by that I mean don't seek happiness in things, or events, they come and go like the wind. You also can't seek happiness, it comes to you when you realize everything comes from within, and that you create your own reality. You create it anyway, rather it be a conscious effort though yeah?

You also mention focusing on thoughts to get what you want. Many people running around saying affirmations, repeating thoughts and finding no luck.
The universe isn't thought based, it's feeling based, otherwise you could take it to court for being intellectually racist towards those who are intellectually disabled.

You ask more with your feelings than anything else. People are always creating what they want, moreso what they don't want, because desires, emotions are asking too. Your vibration is always pulsing out to the universe, and reflecting back to you, events, people, places, experiences, not based on what you asked for, but from the state of consciousness you asked from.

Hope this helps.
