Most people do not get what they want, whether it is a relationship, a work situation, or something else, because they have beliefs that block that intention from manifesting. Some of your beliefs create, what Kenn Gordon referred to as, the ‘first intention block’. Recognizing this is a very important first step in removing that intention block, and I look at it as an opportunity to get rid of some useless baggage that I’ve been carrying around that I no longer need.
Some of your beliefs are conscious, that is you are aware that you have them, many more are subconscious, meaning that you don’t even know about them. Consciously trying to figure out your subconscious beliefs can be a grueling, lengthy exercise. One strategy is to ask yourself what you have seen and heard when you were a child about the given topic. For instance, if you may consciously think that a loving relationship would be wonderful, but as a child you have seen your parents fight constantly, subconsciously you may be associating relationships with a lot of pain. And frankly, chances are some of the beliefs you won’t figure out anyway, because they are so deep that your conscious mind is not capable of going down that far.
Figuring out the beliefs that are blocking your intention can be a useful exercise, but that leads to a thought that ‘if I get rid of these beliefs, everything will be fine’. That is a little misleading, because individual beliefs are not in your psyche on their own. They are all interconnected and intertwined with each other creating a web of beliefs, and the entire web needs to be changed in order to accommodate the manifestation of your intention. How do you do that? Kenn said that one needs to surrender their entire belief system to the Universe and let the entire web come back with the necessary adjustments. Personally I struggle with the ‘how’ to do that, although I do have an idea.
It is to simply let go of the image of how things are supposed to happen. When we set a goal or an intention, we create a corresponding image of how it needs to unfold. And when it does not unfold as we expect, or shows up in a different form, we get discouraged. But, the ‘hows are the domain of the Universe’ (I am taking this straight out of The Secret). Our job is to plant the idea and let the Universe show us how to proceed. Let me give you an example. You are in need of some extra cash. Your mother calls you and says, ‘I know that money is tight right now, so why don’t I pay your rent?’, to which you respond with ‘No, thanks!’ because you are expecting the money to come through overtime at work. But isn’t it rather obvious that the Universe responded to your request via your mother? And you just said ‘No, thanks!’ to It.
In other words, set your intention and let the game play out. Your thoughts?
Until next time,
