Be Real: Mail the Letter

As I’m writing my affirmations, I noticed a tendency to become attached to them. Feeling like I have to control or make them happen. Thinking my ‘thinking’ controls my destiny. It does, but not in the way I once thought.

We really don’t know God’s plan for us. What he has in store and can provide is greater than anything we could possibly think up. Perhaps it’s not for us to know. It is for us to trust. Our thoughts are just inklings into the tip of the iceberg of possibilities. As writing affirmations, we are basically making a request to God to fulfill a desire. Now, if we are attached to it, we block our ability to receive it. But, if we release it and say “God, it would be nice if this happened, but thy will be done”, then we remove the blocks of our ego manifesting it and allow ourselves to receive. Affirmations are prayers and the greatest prayer of all includes "thy will be done".

Here’s where intuition comes in… Sometimes we get feelings about certain things – see the handwriting on the wall. And, sometimes this seems as if it is in our favor or against us. Consider this – it’s always in our favor. For we have been or are being shown the reality of the situation. If we can observe it from a place of detachment, then it can serve us by showing us a piece of the map. Look at it as a map. So, things may not work out the way we want, but they still work out according to God’s plan for us. It is our choice or free will to choose the direction we will go. Will we be angry, victimized, blame another, worry or will we respond from a place of love and light and expect the best and good. Will we respond from a place of service to God? Everything we could possibly think up already exists on some level at some dimension because time is not linear to Spirit. The key is EXPECTING the best from a true place of knowing and it will be so. Just like sending a letter, just mail it and TRUST is will be delivered according to the will of God for your best and highest good.

Service to God means service to ourselves. We know if we are doing it right according to how we feel. Do we feel in our integrity or not? It may not always seem easy, Jesus showed us that, but it is always beneficial. How easy or difficult it is depends on you and your attachment to the outcome or expectation. Jesus asked before being crucified if there was another way, and he was told that crucifixiton was the way – Your Will Be Done. Talk about being detached from the outcome! If we release our expectations of a desired outcome and allow them to be strong preferences, we release attachment. In doing so, we don't get 'drawn into' the drama. The drama causes distraction, puts up blocks and allows the ego to control or make the desired outcome happen. This is us getting in the way. Again, mail the letter and trust it will be delivered.

I think of releasing and allowing and being a mom. How many of us control the house – how about all of us! What would happen if we released and allowed? Honestly, I’m a little afraid to find out! So far, it’s been a delicate balance. My guess it that is how it is to be for me. However, as I’m on this journey, whatever comes will be shared!

For me, saying 'this or something better' indicates that my ego is at play. I've just come to realize this. For it signals that what I am or want may not be good enough and that I don't want to miss out on something better. Did you see the words - not enough, don't want, miss out, better? All ego. For me, manifesting is co-creating and is best done as praying – “God/Creator, I ask that this happen, or this be done, but in the end, thy will be done for the best and highest good”. And, I'm ok with it - now. I release it and don't take any of it personally, for it is God's will. Without worry or thinking. I know it will be done. All I have to do is show up. It is my choice to accept it and do what is in line with my soul. This is where my internal emotional navigation system kicks in. My intuition - soul speak. How does it feel? What are the possible outcomes? Am I ok with the worst and the best case scenarios? Then I release it - mail the letter and it's done. The answer comes. Just watch the signs, relax, follow the guidance and allow, allow, allow it to come by getting out of the way.

I keep hearing don't think, just do. When I'm doing to much, I hear stop doing and just be.
