I had a discussion with a friend of mine about whether defining the result that you are after with precision provides clarity or limitation. And this is something that I would love to get your feedback on. The background for the discussion is as follows. The Universe responds to your intentions by presenting you with a quickest and most harmonious way to your goal. The trick is that you need to pay attention and actually notice the opportunity. It’s like Bob Proctor said in one of his seminars, that in retrospect he has been in the right place at the right time many times, it’s just that in that moment he was not aware that he was in the right place at the right time. Another thing to note is that the Universe does not always respond in expected ways – there were many times that I did get to my goal but not in the way that I thought it would happen. Our role is to know ‘what’ we want while the ‘hows’ are the domain of the Universe.
As an example, let’s talk about about goal relating to relationships, but you can pick another goal. When we talk about a goal, we can be very precise or very general. For instance, you can say that you seek a connection with another human being, or you can say that you want to have friendship, or a romantic relationship in general, or you can describe your ‘ideal mate’ in a lot of detail. As you can see, as we go from the connection to the description of an ‘ideal mate’, we get more and more clarity while, at the same time, putting more and more restrictions.
So I wonder, what is your view on defining what you want at great length? Is it clarity or limitation?
Until Monday,

I think it all depends on what you are aiming for. One example would be $100. If I look for a $100 bill, I am limiting the possibility of it manifesting as well as the outcome. If I look for $100 in any way, shape or form, than the possibility of it manifesting is greater, as well as the outcome. In this example, I wouldn’t want to set the limitations. Any way, shape or form would be ideal for receiving $100. On the opposite end of the scale is your example of looking for a relationship. If I set the intention for a relationship, it could come in any way. But if I set limitations, I can aim for a romantic, friendly or other type of relationship. I want to limit the outcome at the cost of the possibility of it manifesting, knowingly.
It all depends on what you are trying to achieve: accuracy or certainty.
It depends, a few times I have regretted not getting specific, because the holes that I left in my affirmations were then filled with the existing programming in my subconscious which was very ‘limited’ based on past patterns. So sometimes for me, the holes or gaps I leave in my vision/affirmation may endup filled with past limits.
But other times getting too specific has backfired, mostly because the specificity becomes an exercise in focusing on fears through their avoidance.
So its a dance. I would say get as specific as you can if you are feeling light, love & joy and are at peace and there is no resistance to anything. But if its becoming an obsessive exercise in avoiding pitfalls and fears, then get vague and stay vague, the results will be better than manifesting all the fears you are trying to avoid.
