I found the attatchment part to be so true in my life…
There’s this girl I love, and I intended that she call me after she was asleep because I was missing her – and no matter how hard I intended, she didn’t call. Then I realized, that by wanting so badly that she call, I was also intending the state of being frantic, the state of her-not-calling!

At another time, I set out an intention where I thought the outcome wouldn’t really matter at all – but I would be very happy if it happened the way I wanted it to. And it came true!

Maybe intention required both an intense desire and detachment (releasing that desire without asking again and again – has it come true?)

Thank you for your post.

I could not agree more with this post. I have found the “letting go” to be the second most important part of receiving what you want. I suppose this is the part of The Secret where they say that you should act like you already have it (acting like you already have it means you are no longer hoping to receiving it so it is detaching yourself from the outcome).

Just two days ago my parents asked me what I wanted for graduation as a gift. I did not want anything. I went to the gym at my apartment complex and I thought that perhaps I should ask for cookies, although it occurred to me that would be a strange grad gift to ask for. I did not think about it again nor cared about trying to ask for them again. Ten minutes later when I went to my apartment there was a basket of cookies sitting at my door sent from a friend to congratulate me. She did not know I liked cookies and I had not seen her in a year.

But things like finding the love of your life or making a billion dollars we think are difficult and long tasks so we actually focus on them too much. Letting go changes everything….

Thank you for this my frend, i see the benefits for us all in this column. Cosimc mind is very big and there is too little of us,and if someone thinks otherwise than this is only one state of mind and one point of view.
I never read abouth this earlier and this was my first time to see that somebody wrote this.. any way this is true.

Hi Kev,
Great post it has really inspired me. I’ve recently been studying the Secret by Rhonda Byrne and it asks you to do the opposite which is constantly visualize the outcome. Basically it’s constantly thinking and acting as if what you’ve asked for is already granted. It takes alot of emotion and thought and it leaves me all the more frustrated when the thing I want does not manifest. I guess because I viewed it as something great. I will try your way of doing things which is treat all my requests the same and let you know how it goes. At the end of it all I guess I maybe just a bit impatient.

Kevin,

You’ve been silent here for a long time. Just wandering by, thinking about and looking for you.

As the second one to the third one because neither of us are the first Kevin Kinchen to post this stuff on the internet; the good pastor in Florida is a fundamentalist I think and this is, I donâ€™t know. I am neither however but yet a poet and a philosopher none the same. I find this interesting but blanketed with false hope over the belief that actions are less necessary then belief. There was a farmer that pictured a baseball field in his back yard every day. He visualized it whole heartedly and prayed and prayed. He died on that farm. There never was a baseball field. There was another farmer who visualized an empire of fried chicken stores. He visualized it each and every day as well. While he fried chicken and saved money and made commercials and contacted agents and expanded his offices and shaved profits for improvements, he got educated, went to school, managed conglomerates and now he is dead. Oh but there is an empire of Kentucky fried Chickenâ€™s across the globe. I wonder what that was all about. Maybe in the words of Elvis; A little less conversation a lot more action, was all he needed.

Hi Kevin,

Nice post. This is something that I struggle with. I tend to think about results rather than the journey, I guess. I tend to think about the outcome and when it doesn’t happen I get frustrated. Recently I been working on releasing my intentions into the Universe and letting go. This is what I needed to read today. Positive reinforcement. Thanks!
