WHAT DOES "ALLOW IT" REALLY MEAN...
Greetings Co-Creators,
I have heard these two words so many times...."ALLOW IT". Some have said it differently..."GO WITH THE FLOW". Either way...I see many missing the mark.
Then the proverbial question comes around "why am I stuck, I'm doing everything right".
Many reply to the dilemmas written in blogs and discussions with...you are experiencing lack, limit, etc. in yourself.
So the BIG HUGH QUESTION is...."What does it mean to "ALLOW IT"..."GO WITH THE FLOW" ?
The law of attraction works because and when you allow it to. The NATURE of the UNIVERSE is INFINITE. Our conscious minds are not.
When we have a desire, we very often tend to "FIGURE OUT" how the Universe is going to deliver - be it through our jobs, the lottery, or some other source in particular.
I realized this just today as I was washing dishes.
In my awareness I caught myself thinking...hmmm I guess I should be working if that money for such and such is going to come flying thru the front door.
When you attach yourself to one particular outcome, you are cutting off an INFINITE (literally) number of other ways your desire can be attracted.
This is exactly what I was doing as I was washing dishes deep in thought.
I have been known to take the dishes out of the dishwasher and just do them by hand. I like the feeling of the hot water on my hands and it is a time of meditation of sorts.
So I say thank you to my dirty dishes today as I caught myself not causing myself limits. I was putting limits on the Universe.
How many of you have PUT LIMITS ON THE UNIVERSE?
Have you tried to figure out how the desire was going to come to you?
When you do your thoughts are placing limits on the Universe.
Today I am grateful for Dirty Dishes...lol...giggle...lol...Silly Jilly Stikes again.

Jilly.. I love the warm water when washing dishes too. It is truly relaxing. You are right. We shouldn't think about the HOW just know that SOMEHOW it will happen.
One great thing that I know, and realised sometime ago is that 1st step is to BELIEVE. Just know that it will happen, someday somehow. It will come to me in a way easier and simpler than what I think. Once you believe that this is possible, then ideas come to you about how it can be done. You do your part and leave the rest to the Universe.
Recently, I have been attracted to the idea of synchronicity and how we can identify signals from the universe. I really dont know anything about it but read that if we can master this we can be better at flowing towards what we want. Does anybody have anything to say about this? I would love to know of a good book suggestion on this topic or any other general information.
I say take it easy and go with the flow. go where your intuition guides me.

Oh by the way, I wanted to say some thing "important". smiles
You know how you say- look around you, you attracted everything in your physical reality through your thoughts. Very true. But to be smarter, I would suggest looking at it in an additional way- Look around you, you attracted everything in your physical reality because you allowed it.
I am going to add an affirmation in my journal - I am a great allower , I am an expert at allowing, I allow great things to happen to me everyday, I am now allowing great financial prosperity, I am now allowing great wisdom, I am now allowing success to flow through my life.

Wonderful...and might I just add the following. ...I resign my thoughts to wonder how the Universe plans its delivery or limit the Universe in its delivery. I will allow the Universe to be Infinite...and use its Infinite ways to deliver with no limits.

Very good point Jilly...I love this concept of "allowing" it makes so much sense!!!! In fact I was thinking that that may be the only thing my Season 4 is about...Allowing what is good... I dont care to do dishes but love to clean and organize in general...I find it therapeutic!!!
Jenna: I think looking for the synchronicities or signs from the Universe helps us know when and when not to act....Or if we are in alignment...I think it takes some of us quite awhile to get into that true alignment with what we really want and we/I often stamp my feet and wonder what I am doing wrong when there is another "piece" that is presented to help me get back into alignment...

Well said. How easy it is for (most of) us to keep our thoughts contained within limiting boundaries.
How dare us to think that we can THINK FOR the Universe....and yet we do it all the time.
At least I know that I do!
At least now, being more vigilant of my thoughts, I am aware of those life depleting thoughts when they first occur
and I can nip them, cut them off before they lower my vibration.
All of this LOA stuff is not for the lazy. It really keeps constant vigilance. But the rewards are worth it!!! */_/*

More and more I am understanding that the art of allowing is all about reaching for things that make us feel good, which keeps us open, happy and ready to receive. I think that once your intentions are set, you have to let go. xxx

Well put Jilly, I still struggle with the notion that I need to figure things out in order to make it manifest. To make it more confusing one of my favorite people Bob proctor says (quoting think and grow rich) that one of the six steps to success is to have a plan on how you want to achieve your goal. Now I have several of my own and other examples of those whose miracles came to fruition with out any plan whatsoever but rather were the fruits of immense desire.
Im not good with planning, goal setting in specific terms. Any thoughts?

I hope I understand you Michael.
Actually I don't plan per-say.
Example: Hubby insisted he was going to drag this old ugly recliner to the front livingroom. I'm telling you ! This chair was an eye sore. Reminded me of Marty Cranes chair on Fraizer minus the duc tape. Anyway, every time I looked at that chair I wanted to scream but I knew that was not the answer and it was certain to cause riff. Totally not in my character to cause riff. And certainly not over a chair.
So every time I looked at it I would tell myself what would look good there with the same function and trusted that the Universe would replace it.
NOW...ACTUALLY under the circumstances I really DIDN'T CARE, how the Universe replaced it...the only thing that was IMPORTANT to me was that it was replaced with something better and more attractive.
Well, that ugly chair sat there in my livingroom for a month and hubby sat in it every night. I realized in that long month how IMPORTANT the comfort of that chair was to my hubby. As the month passed I would smile as my hubby would sink his back side into that chair after a hards days work and say "aahhhhhh".
As I am writing this to you, I can look over the top of my laptop across the room to see my hubby sitting in a beautiful black all leather club style recliner watching his favorite show on the tube. Oh and let me mention that this chair was nearly free and includes an extra feature...it rocks. Hubby's not a rocker...I am.
The Universe/GOD/Source knew exactly what/how/and when to deliver.
The What was "oh that soft black leather on that lovely chair".
The How was nearly free...from one of my hubby's customers that was moving and couldnt take it with him."..If I had to purchase a chair in a furniture store...that would have been my choice.
The when was...(The when was very important) Notice it took one month to deliver...it was because the Universe wanted me to see how this recliner in our livingroom made my hubby happy.
When planning or setting your goals in specific terms I suggest you write them down. This process has been used in business for ages...Hence the term "business plan". Using this approach for business is a good approach as it is also good to use in a personal approach. When writing something down on a piece of paper and reading it to some one else helps to make it real to you. I choose someone close to read it to, as a hubby or close friend. When you read it to someone, you can hear yourself and the person you are reading it to, tend to ask questions...like "what did you mean by saying this or that". YOU will then hear yourself explain the answere to them.
When doing this process you set the wheels in motions and you can tweek the intention making sure you wrote what you really want. Once this is done you can take a baby step in the right direction to get to that goal when the Universe leads you. The Universe will make the way clear. Be aware of what the Universe is telling you.
Keeping in mine...the Universe has no limits.
Remember the old saying "The sky is the limit"...well the SKY is infinite.

Good story, easy to visualize. I completely understand your message. I think your right I need to write out my plan so that I get somewhat clear of my intentions. And as you pointed out it would make for good discussion and clarification in order to get more specific about my lifes purpose.
You must be practicing the loa and law of allowing. My wife wouldnt be so understanding and patient if I dragged in my old hockey recliner! But it all worked just as you knew it would. What a sense of peace to know you didnt need to engage in a squabble over that chair because it was just a matter of time until the universe would present an elegant solution!
thanks again Jilly!

I like the idea of writing things down. I saw this book on amazon called " write it down, make it happen". It's on my to read list. I think that book is pretty amazing. It talks of someone having 100 written goals out of which 79 or so happened.
