    You just have to know the technique is working. My guy has not reached out at all in over 6 months but reaches out to the person they left me for all the time. You just have to figure out what works best for you. I am still trying to figure that out myself. I believe in the technique and although he reaches out to someone else everyday I know my messages are getting to him and he thinks of me. You just have to believe and know it's temporary. It's hard and it hurts but soon it will be me.

    Thank you for this Faith.  I completely agree with not offering contradictory thought. That is the key to keep the manifestation coming, may it be slow or quick.

    When I was reading your response, something also triggered inside that made me think of a article I read about a year ago. I had to find it and post it as it talks about the time required to manifest. This is an excerpt from:

    https://arturo1701.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/law-of-attraction-the-compression-of-time-part-ii/

    Take the analogy of an archer preparing to let launch an arrow towards a target. The archer sets the arrow in the bow and pulls back the bow string while aiming at a target. The archerโ€™s aim sets the target while the tension in the bow provides the energy needed by the arrow to reach that target.

    Once the arrow is released (intention), an outcome is assured. In other words, cause and effect occur simultaneously. The trajectory of the arrow and its final destination would be predictable by physical laws. The probability of hitting the bullโ€™s-eye depends on the skill of the archer and the power of the bow. But once the arrow is launched, the archer has no more influence on the outcome.

    The aim of the archer (the clarity of thought) and the tension of the bow (Energy) determine the curve the arrow will travel. Through the law of gravity, the laws of motion and aerodynamics, arrow will travel a certain path. The releasing of the bow (the intention) triggers the outcome (manifestation).

    If the archerโ€™s aim is poor (lack of thought clarity), the arrow will miss the target. However, the tension in the bow is also important. Too little tension (low emotional intensity) and the arrow may not have enough energy to reach the target. Either way, the result is predictable and dependent on the initial conditions โ€“ the aim and the tension of the bow.

    The difference between the release of the arrow (the intention) and the arrival at the target (manifestation) is time.

    So time must exist at the higher dimensions but must also be relative to our own timeframe. Perhaps, when metaphysics states that cause and effect appear simultaneously, it is not because time doesnโ€™t exist, but that awareness at the higher dimensions allows cause and effect to be โ€œvisibleโ€ and โ€œpredictableโ€.

    Einstein argued that time is relative. He didnโ€™t argue that time did not exist. He argued that absolute time does not exist and that time is dependent on the timeframe of the observer.

    So, if space-time is warped by the concentration of mass, then there must be a similar mechanism in the higher planes of creation. In these planes, form will disappear. Therefore, if form and Energy are similar, then the lack of form must mean an abundance of Energy.

    If mass and energy are the same, then concentration of energy then must warp space-time as well.

    But there is another aspect of time that canโ€™t be ignored. Looking again at the physical model, black holes just donโ€™t happen. The power and the concentration of black holes occur over time as the concentration of mass pulls in more mass. The greater the mass accumulated, the greater the gravitational field and more mass is pulled into the black hole.

    Over time, the power of the black hole increases exponentially. The same must be true for the concentration of Energy.

    So how would the archer change the time between the release of the arrow and contact with the target?

    One way would be to increase the tension of the bow. The more precise approach would be to increase the energy applied to the arrow. If the archer changes the bowโ€™s design to use steel, the amount of energy stored in the bow would increase dramatically and the speed of the arrow would increase. With the increased speed, the time to target is decreased. If the approach is changed to that using gun powder, another step increase in speed is achieved and the contact is achieved sooner.

    Another way is to use the same bow, but move the target closer. This is similar to the warping of space-time. Change the environment conditions such that the target and the bow approach each other.

    In both cases above, the common source is increased energy. It is very likely that with increased energy, both results above will exist.

    This material analogy brings the next step in the compression of time โ€“ the concentration of Energy. The question becomes โ€“ โ€œWhat Energy needs to be concentrated for manifestation time to be compressed?โ€

    Hello everyone,
    ย ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย I am in a confused state. I started doing the technique some 3 to 4 days ago. But now I have some confusion as to should I continue. He broke up with me in the month of May. I did not want kids before I met him and he knew this. But after we ended up in the relationship I started feeling I would have kids. There were moments where I felt I really wanted kids with him and I was happy about it. I wanted kids with him.
    ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  He left me for an arrange marriage (I am from India, the land of dowry loving man whores and cowards). He blamed everything on me. I have ADHD and he left saying he can't be with someone who procrastinates, is an insomniac, ย is chronically late, lacks focus etc (I was diagnosed only last year and he knew about my ADHD before entering the relationship)
    ย ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  My confusion is that now I don't think I want kids (although sometimes I still want kids). I feel overwhelmed when I think of having the same daily routine in life after having kids. It's hectic to raise kids. It's not easy. I feel overwhelmed when I think of that stress.
    ย ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  Should I still continue or just leave it? I really do love this man. And I want him in my life. The feelings I have felt with were amazing. The happiness I felt with him. I used to always feel good with him, I used to forget my problems. Never felt so awesome with anyone.

    I have start to do the thecnique again to help me feel good as I was having him, which was affecting me.
    Now that i start do this ny heart it's opening I feel more relax.

    1 I am doing for me to feel good
    2 I would love have him regret what he did to me.

    I truly believe we would be perfect for each other.
    But he did so much damage in out relationship.
    I do thinking now I don't want him back anymore, but I will care on with the thecnique anyway it make me cope with the break up.

    Yesterday I was having q bit nostalgia.
    Today I will do some Eft for attachment and for limit believe anf fear and also hooponopono. today I can feel ny body pain. X

    He might be busy due to other things so he couldn't talk to you like he do everyday. You need to stop thinking this way. Give him some time. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

    ย 
    This morning at 5:50 am (not a time when he is usually awake!) I got a message from him saying he did not have much time to text yesterday and he did miss the texting.

    When starting PW i set the intention not to have the old relationship again, but to have a new relationship with the same guy. Since then we have been so much more open to eachother, became closer, more honest. I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly from him and it just has made me love him even more.

    Yesterday i was writing with my spirit guide and he said that the letting go and the focussing on myself is a big part of my process. I tend to loose myself completely in a relationship, only focussing on what the other person wants from me. How i have to behave to make things happen. And i made a promise to myself not to do that anymore ๐Ÿ˜‰ I want to just be me and have the guy love me for being me. And it seems we are really heading that way.

    Just a tiny little bit impatient though ๐Ÿ˜†, because i love him so so much....

    This really resonates with me. I have come a very long way with PW and BWD, we really have become best friends the last few months, i could even say we are closer now than we were when we were in a relationship.
    The thing is, he has not asked me to be his girlfriend again. And i realised that i am very attached to hearing that 'final part' so to speak. As happy as i am with the bond we now have, i would really really like him to pop the question ๐Ÿ˜‰

    So, i started to detach...and suddenly all went quiet on his part....what on earth is up with that! We were skyping and texting non stop, him always initiating contact and as soon as i detach it seems to backfire ๐Ÿ˜–
    Now i am doing my best to not panic, continue doing PW (i actually have more time doing PW when we stop talking ๐Ÿ˜†) and to keep detaching and focussing on myself.

    Did i just introduce more resistance by trying to have less resistance, or what?

    No, I don't think detachment can cause backfire lol. It's just the attitude of ' whatever he do or he's busy, I don't care because I'm still happy'...kind of.

    Thank you for starting this thread. I think this is by far the hardest part of manifestation.

    Some teachings tell you to go distract yourself and not to think about the thing you want to have anymore (Abraham Hicks). Others, like Veronica Isles say that you should keep thinking about what you want, but in very positive terms, as the intensity and your insistence gives more energy to the thought so it allows it to come sooner than a weaker energy thought.

    Yes, some says not to think about your desire & some people suggest to keep thinking but in positive way as you said. The reason behind According to me...is we all are different. Some find it difficult to let go & some find it tough to keep thinking in positive way.
    If you let go or detach from something, you should give enough energy through visualizing your desire or whatever technique you do,in order to manifest it but no second thought should be given because it makes the progress slow. Similarly, if you can't let go, instead you decide to keep thinking about it in positive way as you said above, it means 80-90% of thoughts ( related to your desire) should be positive to manifest your desire. If you think 70% negatively & 30% positively...then you already know what would manifest.๐Ÿ˜Š also if you are positive for two days, but next two days you feel low then you're back to square one.

    A few examples for you...
    I was at work talking to a lady and she told me about a cottage experience she had. There were coyotes by the cottage and she was telling me how intense their howling was. I thought to myself, that it would be really neat to hear. I've never heard coyotes howling except in movies and nature shows. When I walked away, I forgot about it and didn't think twice. My house backs onto the woods. That night, I woke up with howling. You would have thought the coyotes were in the house. In my years in the neighbourhood, not once did I hear them. Just that night. The thought had next to no intensity, just a thought of curiosity and "oh, wouldn't that be fun..."

    I would say it...letting go. You intended for that, and you forget about it without putting any doubt or fear. You didn't question it. You just strongly wished for it in your heart and let go. This is when you heard that sound.๐Ÿ˜Š
    It happens with me too. I intend for something and when I don't put any second thought, it manifests.๐Ÿ˜Š

    With my ex husband (not the man I'm trying to attract), I felt trapped in a fairly loveless, and monotonous relationship. This is well before I knew about LOA. I would on some nights go to bed, and essentially fantasize that he left me (silly enough, I didn't want to be the one to walk out on our family, but that's another story). It took a few years, but I found out that he had been having an affair with someone starting at around the time when I was having these so called fantasies. It took a few years for me to realize and then he left to be with her. Their relationship crumbled, but in essence everyone blamed him for leaving (as did I because I didn't understand what I was doing at the time)...

    Same thing again. You had not forget it right away but kept thinking same negative emotions until it manifested. You kept giving same emotions over & over again, but no second thought. You were already thinking the negative aspects, hence it manifested. But if you would had been thinking the positive aspects with same intensity without questioning it, it would manifest with positive result. ๐Ÿ˜Š
    Main thing is WHATEVER YOU INTEND FOR, DO NOT GIVE ANY CONTRADICTORY THOUGHT.


    DC wrote:

    In any case, even when you have resistance or attachment, things seem to come (just my many experiences). It just seems to take longer. But, if you consistently impress upon the mind, with insistence, it seems to come no matter is what.  The better, more confident you feel, the faster physical reality changes.

    Yes, things will still manifest but it slow down your progress but it may take too longer if you keep repeating those negative thoughts.
    The IMPORTANT THING is whether you let go or keep thinking about it in order to manifest....in both cases, you SHOULD NOT GIVE ANY SECOND THOUGHT ( NEGATIVE EMOTIONS OR CONTRADICTORY THOUGHTS). There should not be any doubt, fear or worries.. That's detachment or letting go.

    I hope it makes sense.๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

    I started this topic after reading Kscmack question about detachment in a thread. I could have posted there but I guess lot of new members have this confusion about DETACHMENT & LETTING GO, so I'm starting a separate thread for it & other members are also invited to clarify if they have different views on it.๐Ÿ˜Š
    I'm extremely sorry if same topic has created before...๐Ÿ˜Š


    Lot of people are scared to let go because they think letting go means forget the desire or their love. So FIRST you need to understand, ALL OF YOU, that LETTING GO doesn't mean to forget your desire, so you don't have to be fearful about it.

    LETTING GO simply means LET GO OF ALL YOUR WORRIES, FEAR OR ANY NEGATIVE THOUGHTS/EMOTIONS which is holding you back. These negative thoughts hinder your progress and create delay in your manifestation. When you go out for lunch, you place your order & sit there comfortably knowing that order will be at your table soon. You don't run to them to know if they're preparing your food or not, you don't question them how would they prepare it or if they could do that in time..๐Ÿ˜œ... You don't doubt on their abilities, you don't leave the restaurant just by assuming that 'oh you can't have your order'...Do you?
    OFCOURSE NOT. Because you know you have placed your order for which you're paying too & Now it's their responsibility to deliver your order. Similarly, when you PLACE YOUR DESIRE, you should not get upset, you should not let your doubts creep in because it hinders your progress.

    When you visualize your desire either as PW/BWD or other scenarios, you feel it inside first, Right?
    You feel it as it has already come true and you're living it in present. For eg : you want to attract a Mate. You visualize every night that you're married to your dream partner & enjoying your life with them....this is END RESULT. You're living your desire through visualization & you feel it SO REAL, you FEEL STRONG EMOTIONS OF JOY, HAPPINESS that your SUBCONCIOUS considers it true. It doesn't argue further because it is feeling the satisfaction already of having the MATE for which it was craving for. It doesn't feel lack anymore because it is feeling all those TRUE EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW which will be felt by it in future. So you would also feel satisfaction of WISH-FULLFILLED. You no longer seek signs & crave for your desire because you're already SATISFIED, knowing it's coming. You already know how it would feel. You already have enjoyed those moments in your visualization so you feel immense love for your Mate. You feel loved by your Mate. You feel CONFIDENT, LOVE, & SATISFACTION... So you focus on yourself. You enjoy your life, you enjoy your work & get busy in that. You don't think about your Mate all the time because you're already satisfied. THAT IS DETACHMENT.

    For eg : See how kids behave all the time. They want something & keep telling to everyone that what they would do after having that particular thing. They don't hide their excitement because they already have plans for their desire and they feel it inside first. I have a cute little nephew. He tells me what he wants on Christmas or on his Birthday. Everytime I visit them, he tells me his plans that what he would do after getting that particular toy ๐Ÿ˜Š and he always manifests it lol. He doesn't sit and keeps thinking about it all the time instead he plays, he watches his favorite cartoons & gets busy..you know kids, they always find something to keep them occupied lol. THAT IS DETACHMENT. They want it, but they don't dwell upon it.

    DETACHMENT is higher emotion but attachment comes with lower emotions. If their actions affecting you, you're attached. Your happiness shouldn't depend on them...if they talk to you, you get happy...if they don't... You become sad...NO.
    Don't do that. Remember how you both met? How you both attracted towards each other? Before meeting them, were you thinking 'oh what he's doing, oh he hasn't called me up yet?' ....OFCOURSE NOT. You were enjoying your life. YOU WERE DETACHED. When you had your first date, you were so happy and did your best to look great & sexy. You were not sad at all, instead you were imagining your good moments with him, you were imagining his first touch, his smile and spending time together. THIS WAS DETACHMENT. This detachment created passion between you & you both attracted towards each other.

    Then after few months, you began to overanalyze things, you overanalyze his every action & words. He meets you, you get Happy...he doesn't talk, you become sad. THAT IS ATTACHMENT. This attachment sends wrong signals. They can sense your desperation subconsciously & it cause them to run from you. Keep ringing someone for hours, they won't never call you back...keep asking same question to someone, after few minutes...they would try to run...because nobody wants to be around someone like that.

    ONE IMPORTANT THING : WHATEVER YOU THINK, IDEAS FOR BUSINESS, THOUGHTS ABOUT YOUR LOVE, YOUR CAR, ANYTHING...IT ALWAYS PICKS UP BY SOMEONE ELSE AS YOU PICK UP SOMEONE'S THOUGHTS OR IDEAS. We mentally affect each others either intentionally or unintentionally... Either you know about PW/BWD or not. The only difference is if we know the technique, we can use it in our favour. So if you're thinking in negative way about your love, they're picking it subconsciously & they will get distant from you if you keep thinking that way.
    But if you think about them in positive way like thinking about your good times with them, they will also pick that too & come closer to you. So better thinking in a positive way instead of thinking negatively.๐Ÿ˜Š

    We are here to LEARN DETACHMENT. We go through many relationships & face the same issues over & over again because we don't learn DETACHMENT. We are here because we are too sensitive, emotional & soft- hearted. I have seen lot of people who don't practice LOA but still they attract everything in their life because they already know how to detach...selfish & careless people (no offense) are very good attracting things quickly. So LEARN DETACHMENT.
    Simple way is...do visualization, feel it real inside and find something which can make you occupied for hours that you don't get time to think about your desire.


    To understand it correctly Go through some NEVILLE'S book. Nothing is better than that. If you read other books, it would just create more confusions on your side. So I suggest read some books of Neville's.

    It's really quite confusing though. Many LOA teachers tell us that we should detach from our desire in order to manifest it, best to forget about it completely and let it go. And on the other hand you should do your affirmations, visualizations, work on vision board daily... I always thought there to be a contradiction (still do sometimes) but I'm beginning to feel that by doing the exercises daily it's not about reminding universe of our desires and asking where it is... It's about ourselves getting into the state of really feeling our wish fulfilled. Am I right? But there also is the catch, if we practice our techniques regularly feeling impatient and all, I think they can really backfire.
