Whenever you are about to say something and a distraction in the conversation causes you to forget whatever it was, experience tells you that the act of forgetting it brings it back. What you want to impart to another may be on the tip of your tongue, but the more you refuse to let it go, the more elusive it becomes. It is the act of letting go that allows you to recall it. If it comes to you much later, rather than earlier, it is because it took you longer to relinquish it.

It comes to you because your attention is occupied with something that is relevant to the present moment, such as driving. As long as your attention is in the present, then your intent for the future will manifest itself. The real power behind fulfilling a desire is your intention, because intent is desire without attachment to the outcome.

In creating a garden you would not consider pulling up recently planted flower seeds to see if they are growing, yet the tendency with the seeds of desire is to become emotionally attached to them. In doing so you are centering your attention on a specific result in the future. In order to manifest whatever it is you want in your life, you have to be able to let go of your emotional attachment to the outcome.

This is a metaphysical ordinance. Holding on to things disturbs the manifestation of your desire, so that even if what you want comes through, it will be distorted. This is because there are infinite possibilities available in the way in which your unmanifest desire can be expressed as a manifest reality. This uncertainty allows your desire, sent out by your intent, to return to you in a form that may even exceed your expectations.

The level of energy and rate of vibration that the desire created by your intent emits, will seek correlation with the vibration that matches the desire and bring it to you. Your detachment from any outcome accelerates the natural process of creation, whereas your attachment to it freezes your desire, impeding the fluidity of your intent’s vibration, thus breaking the process.

Springing from poverty consciousness, attachment is based on the fixed belief that security will be gained through external symbols that validate the individual desiring them. Material goals and objectives that are worthwhile and bring benefit to us are a healthy part of personal development and a positive measure to monitor growth, but they must never be viewed as providing the security that people constantly seek. The fact is that the search for security outside of ourselves will always elude us, and at best remain short-lived. Attachment to money, for example, will always create insecurity regardless of the amount.

Getting wound-up because you feel the need to attain certain symbols, whether in the form of titles, status or money, makes you the slave of your desires rather than the master of them.

Think about what it is you currently desire. The level of your emotional attachment to its outcome will be indicated by how frustrated you feel by it not happening yet, and how much you feel compelled to force, or think about forcing, a solution.

Detachment, on the other hand, is born of a wealth consciousness, because when what you desire has no hold over _you, you are free to create whatever you want. One of the best examples of realised desire and detachment is allowing the child you’ve nurtured to the best of your ability, under your earnest intent for their well-being and happiness, to live their own life without feeling any impediment from your emotional attachment and judgement of them. The major reason for conflict within families is when emotional attachment, expressed via control, becomes the form of security.

Similarly, one of the major reasons for conflict both in individuals and business is the forcing of solutions in order to fulfil a need. It is easy to see that the scenario of desiring to exceed all expectations in the way you perform, harnesses your power. Yet the opposing scenario of needing something at all costs, which compromises your power, usually predominates.

Your desire to improve your lifestyle by wanting a better car, promotion or more business, for example, indicates your innate power to be able to bring it into your life. But an emotional attachment to whatever it is you desire will immediately and significantly diminish this power and allow all manner of debilitating emotions to gnaw away at you. Letting go of an outcome does not require you to compromise your values or objectives and, moreover, will ultimately bring to you what you want. Not letting go, however, will cause you to incur force and stress that will compromise more than your outcome; you will compromise your health.

In letting go of what it had been conditioned to need, the eagle was able to gain its heart’s desire, although attachment to what it considered its security to be prevented it from immediately knowing this. None of us were born to scratch out our needs in the dust. Yet, in forgetting our true identity, many of us cede our immense power for realising our desires in favour of the needs that circumstances and conditioning dictate for our security.

Accepting our worthiness and applying our rightness to receive whatever we desire, means knowing what we want and why we want it. Developing our prosperity consciousness as to how we receive, and having the courage to let go of our emotional attachment to whether we receive, means acknowledging the power of our true selves.

Like the great eagle, we can desire everything, while needing nothing. It is the ability to let go of what you think you need that gives you the power to realise your desires.
