What to do when the Universe gets the delivery address wrong??

[aniinl]

Dear believers, followers, practitioners of the Law of Attraction.

What do you do when you are trying to attract something wonderful into your life and then it happens to someone else? And again, and again and again?
Do you "let go"? Do you "allow"? How do you NOT become jealous? Do you say "OK, have it your way, Universe!" (Yes, that's stolen from Michael..) What to doooo???

Thanks
Anja

Hello

First thing!! drop the word "try/ing" do this put a glass of water in front of you- and try and pick it up- how did you do? now you either did it- or you didn't- there is no try- only do or not do- everything in the middle is nonsense-

LOA is very simple- see hear and feel what you want- and how would you when you have it- what the very last step- that would tell that you was living your goal/dream/ again see, hear and feel what it would be like to be in that special place and time- and from that place of having it- slowly come back allow you consciousness to create the future history and add in all the steps- that are needed- to have your dream come true- what actions do you have to do- who do you need to include- in this to archive the end goal-

What are your responsibilities in taking the first next step in creating this wonderful life-

so as a very quick run through- see, hear and feel, what you want- create a reverse history bring it in to the hear and now and what is the very first- next step you need to get this wonderful life working for you?

You believe the universe CAN get the delivery address wrong?

What do you do when you are trying to attract something wonderful into your life and then it happens to someone else? And again, and again and again?

2 ways you can look at this: 
1.  oh, rubbish, why are they getting it?  That's what I want!  Why haven't I got it?  (focusing on the lack of what you want, which attracts ...the lack of what you want!)
OR
2.  cool, someone else is getting the thing that I want.  That is a 'sign' that I'm getting closer...maybe I'm next!  Woo hoo!  Right, now let's make sure I'm ready to have that delivery.  Anything I can learn from them?  Do I need a bigger house for what I want?  Am I really attached to having it happen MY way, or am I happy for the universe to deliver this (or something better!) at the perfect time?  Am I jealous (lack mentality) or joyous (abundance mentality) at seeing someone else with this thing?  Am I 100% ready for this?  (my thinking is the universe delivers at that point, so it's worth double checking!)     Do I believe I can have this thing?  Do I believe I deserve it? 

I used to really struggle with this element of the law of attraction - I would often get turned around and be focusing on the lack of what I want, or what I don't want...then wondering why it didn't appear!  Now, I'm delighted when I don't get what I ask for because I know either a.  I'm not ready, or b. there's something better on the way.  (Well, to be truthful, I'm not always delighted...sometimes I get a bit 8 Year old spoilt child about it,stamp my feet and pout...but that never works! )

Something I noticed yesterday was that I was hugely attached to a couple of people getting in touch with me...and the more they didn't, the more stressed I got (and the more stories I made up about it!).  When I realised that actually what I really want is for them to work with me when it's right for them AND me, not just NOW, I was able to let go of that attachment a bit (the ways I do that are doing the work on the 'I need that client' thought, and EFT'ing it).  Once done, both got in touch!  :)Coincidence?  I think not.

Hope that helps!

Love

Hi Anja,

I believe thats its just one step away...
If you keep seeing it go to others then it will, see it come to you, feel it, hear it, see it, taste it, smell it, live the dream not dream the dream 

Hugs

cool, someone else is getting the thing that I want.  That is a 'sign' that I'm getting closer...

I like that. Will try that from now on. No, not try - do!!! Sorry, Jay...

My limited understanding of the LOA is that when you say "I want this" and then you add repeated thoughts like, "When will it come?", and "Why does she (who deserves it way less than I do) have it and not me?" - you are essentially canceling your order! 

Here's why. Thoughts about 'why' 'how' and 'when' are by definition resistant thoughts.   Especially if they are a regular feature of your daily speech. They are your "Yes, but."

Compare saying "why hasn't this come?" (upstream, resistant thought) with the softer, "I want this, and I understand how the Law of Attraction works.  I know I can soften my resistance and my job is to release and allow. I'm getting better at that all the time.  In fact, I'm darn good at this quite often and I've seen this working already in X way and Z way. (and if resistance creeps back, acknowledge it and the soften it) And OK, I'm not seeing it this yet, but I really appreciate my life right now and I love that I'm learning all about this along the way."  So consider the feeling of what you are telling yourself and you'll know if you are resisting your desire or scuppering it.

Have you read the book, "Ask and It Is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks for more on this, especially the 'Rampage of Appreciation' meant to dissolve resistance and change your emotional set-point.  Go Abraham!

Hi all,

Interesting thread.

Now, i know this is a lot easier said than done......

Try just letting go, or, more simply stated - forget about it.

Once i had mastered the art of letting go, all sorts of things came to me (mostly from out of nowhere...or the universe, or wherever)

Try it, see what happens, you may just be surprised.

Cheers,

Mark

Yes, the letting go also works sometimes. In fact I started a list to note (and appreciate and be grateful for) the things that happened after I let go of them...

But when you let go, you stop focussing on them. You need to focus on what you want in order to attract it, right? Just don't obsess about it. Maintain the "butterfly point"... It's just so difficult to see the borderlines between focussing and obsessing. And also between allowing (letting go) and "not focussing" on something...

I think I'll get that book "Ask and it is given". I've only read the LOA by them and listened to the Hayhouse workshops. I need more practice with this...

Anja,

All I can think of is that I amplify focus on the desire, and I let go of the outcome (for 'outcome' read: "Are we there yet?  Are we there yet?!!)

Here's a great Abraham quote.  "A woman came to us and she says, "Abraham I don't think you care if my lover ever comes back.  You just want me to feel so good right now that I won't notice he's not here!" And we say, Precisely."

love,

Elese
