𝐢 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 i get why people [formerly me too] overcomplicate the actual meaning of LETTING GO and GIVING UP your desire.
let's take it from the perspective of someone who doesn't know the law; when the person desires something, they keep repeating the thought of wanting it and hence remain dissatisfied or depressed when they don't have it in the 3d.
now looking at this from the perspective of someone who knows the law and affirms wanting something and right after desiring the particular thing, they fulfill their wish of having it in the 4d. this is called being in the state of WISH FULFILLED; where one is aware of having had their wish already fulfilled after desiring it in the present moment-
I want a laptop = I affirm and persist that I already have it = I don't go back to my usual self who doesn't have the laptop because the moment I desired it, I already had it = hence, my want is already satisfied and I don't go back to the old mindset of not having it.
the concept of 'giving up' that all bloggers talk about is not 'giving up on wanting something and letting go of the fact that you actually want it' or something like that. after desiring your wish or whatever that you want, all you do is fulfill it in your 4d and LIVE IN THE END, this is what they mean.
I've already got the laptop the moment I desired it and then I let go of the thought of 'wanting' it anymore because I already have it! why would I still want something after knowing that I already have it? why would you still insist on eating when you've already reached the 'point of satiety' from where you can no longer consume??
i know this whole post might seem repetitive but THAT IS ALL you have to drill in your brain!
you decide you want something = you fulfill the desire in your 4d and go on with your life = your state of fulfillment must be so strong that you forget your desire because guess what? it's not a desire anymore, you ALREADY HAVE IT! THE CREATION IS DONE!!
what you ALREADY have isn't a desire anymore, it's a fact. I HAVE that laptop because I desired it and now it's no longer a desire.
but what about the 3d- honey. you scroll posts all day on tumblr, rack youtube videos, search posts on pinterest for motivation but do you implement what you're watching/reading/studying? do you GET the main idea of it really?
all of them and when I say THE LITERAL concept of the LOA revolves around one main fact = the 3d is the reflection of your 4d.
so if you imagine that luxury car to be yours and FEEL IT, KNOW IT, LIVE WITH IT, that it is yours, then no one can stop you from having it. i'm not telling you to convince yourself to believe that it is yours if you imagine it, I'm telling you to KNOW that it is yours when you imagine it and if you keep on looking for proof then you're lacking, no you're not a dumbfuck who keeps contradicting the law without trying, you're a human with a human brain doing it's human thing but also, it has the power to change how you perceive the world/reality around you, so why can't you do that, ofc you can, you've been doing it and you'll keep doing it, unconsciously or consciously.
i read something like this while scrolling:
searching for changes in the 3d is like being pregnant and wondering where the baby is.
also these beautiful words by Neville himself:
“If I could yield myself to my dream and it would not become flesh, it would be complete tyranny over this wonderful concept of life. But you cannot fail if you yield. If you hold back within yourself, wondering “What will I play as my last card if this doesn’t work?” then you have not yielded, you have not nailed yourself to it. It is a complete yielding. It is the great cry “My God! My God! Why hast Thou forsaken me?” If you know that you’re God doing it, you can yield. But there must be complete abandonment as though it were true and then you make it a reality. The cost is that form of mental abandonment that Blake calls “madness.” But man is afraid; he dare not so abandon himself to a dream, and so never “dies.” So Blake was right when he said: “There is nothing like death: the best thing in life is death.”
