ABANDON EXPECTATIONS

When mastering the ability to create your preferred reality using your thoughts deliberately, one of the biggest requirements is the practice of letting go, and the list is long, letting go of negative thinking/momentum, letting go of those [people] who sap/drain your energy, letting go of the mind's influence/control/rational thinking, letting go of the need to control outcomes, you get the idea. When you've succeeded with all of the above, it would seem as if you were ripe to allow the things you want to experience in your physical reality, but to really fine tune your energy to allow the manifestation of your desire, in a much smoother fashion, it will require letting go of one last thing, expectation! But wait, isn't expectation a requirement in the law of attraction?, it is and it isn't, depending on the individual, to explain this further expectation can come in two different forms of energy, the following being an example....''I'm expecting my desire to manifest'' but the energy this person is sending out is that of not having their desire yet, it can't manifest this way. Another example....''I KNOW my desire is manifesting'' this person is coming from a place of positive expectation, detached from a certain outcome, they are in a more relaxed awareness, trusting that their desire is already handled, which it is. From personal experience I've learned about expectation and the important role it plays with law of attraction, it can really mess with your energy because the rational mind will almost always get involved, questions will arise about the when's and how's regarding manifestation, bringing up resistance, even when one is feeling generally good/positive. The truth is that the rational mind is not a part of the manifesting component here, the heart is, and there must be a balanced harmony between the two to ''allow'' manifestation, as the rational mind will try to ''make'' it happen through forced efforts. Another problem with expectation is a person could expect a ''certain'' outcome, again using their rational mind they see one or two scenarios of how they think a desire will manifest, as mentioned above the mind cannot allow a desire to manifest this way, the very idea of seeing things from the perspective of the rationalizing mind is beyond counter-productive, while Universal intelligence sees INFINITE routes to manifestation. When I mention manifesting from the heart I'm referring to the spirit [master within, inner being, higher self, Universal intelligence] whatever you want to call it, but to reach this level of clarity you would be much better off releasing all expectation so there is less involvement with the rational mind. Does this mean you won't get what you want?, not at all, higher self is ''already'' experiencing your desire from the non-physical, you'll just need to get up to speed with it energy-wise, to match up if you will, and having no expectation will only enhance this energy, allowing a smoother manifestation and in some cases, above and beyond what you may HAVE expected, why?, because you had no attachment to an outcome, you trusted and allowed the Universe to manifest your desire un-impeded. Many law of attraction experts will claim that expectation is a very necessary component to allow your desires to manifest, but in the examples I've mentioned above this can vary from individual to individual, and while having positive expectation is helpful in the manifestation process, it can be tricky keeping the rational mind out of the equation, as it will try to cling on to ''certain'' outcomes despite our best efforts. I'm learning that letting go of ALL expectations gives the Universe more breathing space, allowing my own intentions to manifest in a much smoother fashion.
