Did everyone get a chance to read last week’s chat?
Twinky
yes
mae4985
no.....
CarolynB
lol
Libra-leo Damon
yes
CarolynB
That’s okay ... even though this week is kind of a continuation of last week’s chat, I think you’re all smart enough to catch on, lol
Libra-leo Damon
i’m going start the homework tommorow
CarolynB
I’m going to open tonight’s chat in the same way as I began last week’s chat, with tip #43 from John Holland’s 101 Ways to Jump-Start Your Intuition. MANIFESTING “I know what I want and where I’m going.”

CarolynB
Hi Amanda ... we just got started ...
freewillin
Hey! :)
Twinky
Hi amanda
CarolynB
And the explanation will lead us once again into the core of tonight’s focal point: letting go.
Libra-leo Damon
this is my first time in manifesting class
CarolynB
“How do you make your goals and desires come alive? Having a clear picture in your mind (of the highest good) and charging it with energy can help turn it into a reality. Visualize a goal in its final resolution. Now feel what it’s like to have a successful outcome. See it happening here and now.
CarolynB
Maintain and charge this image as you breathe energy into it. Feel the excitement, the energy, and the joy. Let it go, trust, and release it to the universe.”
CarolynB
Pardon the shouting, but: LET IT GO!!!!
CarolynB
lol
Galadriel
lol
Galadriel
Yes, Sister Carolyn!
CarolynB
Ah, but what does “letting it go” really entail?
CarolynB
“Letting it go” is about letting go of self, of ego. It is NOT about letting life happen TO you, but is instead about letting life happen WITH you.
CarolynB
If you need a job, you need to put out resumes and go to interviews and present yourself as a responsible worker. Anything less would be egotistical in the extreme. The trick is, once you’ve done what is reasonable and responsible for you to have done with regard to getting a job, you give it over to the universe … to the flow … to the divine existence of all that is.
CarolynB
You need to let it go.
CarolynB
Worrying about the outcome, worrying that there was something more you “coulda” “woulda” “shoulda” done serves only to work against your interests, against your energy, against your universal center of being.
CarolynB
I quoted this last week, and I’ll quote it again: “Worrying is using your imagination to create something you do not want.” (Ask and It is Given, Hicks)
CarolynB
Keep in mind, manifesting is all about using your imagination to create. “Imagine what it’ll be like when I’m on the cruise with Friends and able to speak openly about all matters metaphysical.”
CarolynB
“I can see myself getting my law degree.”
CarolynB
“I can feel the love of all those around me.”
CarolynB
Anyone else have an image or two they want to share?
mae4985
I can see the families using the shelter
Twinky
Ihave been working on seeing myself slender
CarolynB
wow... both very good ones!
CarolynB
anyone else?
Galadriel
I have imagined going somewhere and not hitting any traffic or greenlights....
Galadriel
it works pretty well!
Galadriel
:)
CarolynB
outstanding!
CarolynB
This journey of imagination and creation is one that requires unconditional surrender of the ego to the creative process; it requires unconditional understanding that those things you dream of are already yours … and will become an unconditional part of your life when they are supposed to.
Galadriel
I mean redlights...lol
CarolynB
lol
Twinky
i have been doing the greenlights too
CarolynB
I’m grateful for an internet article on this subject. “Letting Go: The Journey for Your Life - Letting Go” by Barry Elwin-Jones, a reiki master.
CarolynB
He (Elwin-Jones) writes: “WHAT IS LETTING GO? Letting go can be the most terrifying experience we can have. Letting go means having no support mechanism for our egos. Put simply, when we let go, we trust that everything is going to work out in our best interest even when we are in the middle of an experience that screams out to us to hang on.”
CarolynB
Can you all relate to “letting go” as a terrifying experience?
Galadriel
yes!
Twinky
sure
mae4985
yes
Galadriel
But its getting easier
Galadriel
as I see the results.
CarolynB
I know for me there some things I have no problem with “letting go” ... but others, oh brother, terror doesn’t begin to describe it!
CarolynB
Yes, Laura, an excellent point
Galadriel
lol
CarolynB
the more you let go the easier it gets
CarolynB
it’s down to basic psychology
CarolynB
when you’re rewarded for behavior, you’ll do the behavior more, lol
Galadriel
pavlov’s dog...lol
CarolynB
lol
CarolynB
And later in the article (Elwin-Jones): “WHAT IS THERE TO LET GO OF? We can let go of all the judgment, of fixing other people’s problems, of manipulating and controlling people’s lives close to us, and forcing our lives to go in directions that our logical minds tells us they must go. We can let go of the need to keep arranging things in our physical world so that we can be happy. We can stop reacting to thoughts and emotions with fear.”
Galadriel
:dog:
CarolynB
Hmmm. “We can let go of the need to keep arranging things in our physical world so that we can be happy.” I can relate to that, can you?
mae4985
yes
Galadriel
Yes
CarolynB
How many times have you said, “I’d rather do it myself because then I know it will get done right?” or how many of you have refused to trust that others can and will do that which needs to be done?
mae4985
the I would be happy if....
CarolynB
lol, exactly, Paula
CarolynB
feel that compulsive need to check your kids’ homework?
CarolynB
see if they cleaned their rooms?
Galadriel
lol
CarolynB
Need to check to see that hubby remembered to get the dry cleaning?
CarolynB
call him 100 times to remind him?
CarolynB
Let it go ...
CarolynB
You don’t need that little black dress tonight anyway, lol
Galadriel
lol
CarolynB
And he (Elwin-Jones) concludes: “NOT RESISTING
CarolynB
Letting go is acknowledging that there is a greater power that flows through us that has our best interest at heart. Without any effort on our parts, we can let go to this power and allow. By not resisting, we can let our lives flow like a river from our hearts, making room in our lives for everything that needs to be there and allowing other things to pass by and move on. The joy of life is in the standing still and allowing. We discover that peace comes in when we cease to struggle.
CarolynB
When we know we are in a dream, everything can be released.”
CarolynB
Wow! “By not resisting, we can let our lives flow like a river from our hearts, making room in our lives for everything that needs to be there and allowing other things to pass by and move on.” What a powerful statement. We make room for what we need … and let everything else pass us by.
Galadriel
very well put.
CarolynB
As we dream … as we imagine … we create. We are the creators of our reality and our reality is that which we create.
CarolynB
So what reality have you been creating?
CarolynB
What are you imagining?
CarolynB
What are you truly dreaming about?
CarolynB
“True imagination is not fanciful daydreaming; it is fire from heaven.” (Ernest Holmes)
CarolynB
“Imagination is our ability to see inwardly and picture there that which has not yet appeared outwardly. Imagination is God’s gift to us.” (Donald Curtis)
CarolynB
One of the things that strikes me as I examine more and more the concept of manifesting is that we create, imagine and dream so much more than we are aware of.
Galadriel
yes!
CarolynB
The key to manifesting is to become aware of what we are manifesting.
CarolynB
lol
CarolynB
And to become aware of what is holding us back from manifesting.
CarolynB
Sometimes while we think we are consciously manifesting one thing ...
CarolynB
we are unconsciously subverting that very thing by other things we are manifesting.
Twinky
I am trying not to worry about things, since it is dreaming and manifesting the negative
CarolynB
“I am happy, healthy, slender and prosperous.”
CarolynB
Exactly, Jeannie.
CarolynB
I can claim that for this week’s manifestion ... BUT
CarolynB
how many times did I say or do something that was in contradiction to this?
CarolynB
“I’m so frustrated.”
CarolynB
I said that more than once this week.
CarolynB
“I need to lose weight.”
CarolynB
Yikes ... don’t want to think about how many times I said or thought this one.
CarolynB
lol
CarolynB
HOw about the rest of you?
mae4985
oh ya.... I’m broke...
CarolynB
oh, yeah ... that’s a good one!
CarolynB
or rather, a bad one!
CarolynB
lol
Twinky
I catch myself saying “i wishI was...” “I want to be...”
Galadriel
“I’m tired...”
CarolynB
uh huh
Galadriel
“I’m sick of ...”
CarolynB
ype
CarolynB
yep
CarolynB
“I’m angry”
CarolynB
“I hate the way I look”
freewillin
the phrase I’m trying hardes to quit saying lately is “that just kills me.”
freewillin
eek
CarolynB
Eek, indeed!
Galadriel
oooo...good one!
CarolynB
Definitely one to wipe out of your repetoire.
Galadriel
or “this is such a pain in the neck.”
CarolynB
or another part of the anatomy, lol
Twinky
or the butt
Galadriel
lol..yes
Twinky
lol
freewillin
lol
CarolynB
If you’d like to read Elwin-Jones whole article, I highly recommend it. It can be found at: http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Letting_Go/id/21826 (http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Letting_Go/id/21826)
CarolynB
(And yes ... it’ll be in the transcript tomorrow.)
CarolynB
So where does that leave us with “letting go”?
CarolynB
Dream it, imagine it, breathe it, sense it, experience it, feel it, be it, do it, accept it and then let the universe actualize it. It will be there when you are ready for it, and not one millisecond later than that.
CarolynB
Isn’t that amazing?
Galadriel
Yes
mae4985
it sure is
Twinky
yep
CarolynB
Do your part and the universe will do its. In fact, it’s already done. Do you see it?
mae4985
yes
Galadriel
yes
CarolynB
IN FACT, IT’S ALREADY DONE!!!!!!
mae4985
and it feels great
CarolynB
For me ... that is the real understanding of “letting it go”!
CarolynB
The flow... the divine energy of the universe ... the all-that-is ... has already been created ...
CarolynB
YOU already created it
CarolynB
and it will come to you when you let go of ego, judgment, control
CarolynB
and understand that it’s right in front of you
CarolynB
That’s the biggest responsbility associated with manifesting
CarolynB
knowing that it is there
CarolynB
and letting go of the responsbility for it
CarolynB
at the same time accepting it as your divine right
CarolynB
the right of your own creation.
CarolynB
Bringing us back to JH’s tip we started with:
CarolynB
“How do you make your goals and desires come alive? Having a clear picture in your mind (of the highest good) and charging it with energy can help turn it into a reality. Visualize a goal in its final resolution. Now feel what it’s like to have a successful outcome. See it happening here and now.
CarolynB
Maintain and charge this image as you breathe energy into it. Feel the excitement, the energy, and the joy. Let it go, trust, and release it to the universe.”
CarolynB
As we journey through manifesting together, I trust you’ll share your stories ... both the ones your learn from by doing it right, and the ones you learn from by doing it wrong.
Leighski
