GRASPING IS SUFFERING
Usually we equate suffering with feeling, but feeling is not suffering. It is the grasping of desire that is suffering. Desire does not cause suffering; the cause of suffering is the grasping of desire. This statement is for reflection and contemplation in terms of your individual experience.
You really have to investigate desire and know it for what it is. You have to know what is natural and necessary for survival and what is not necessary for survival. We can be very idealistic in thinking that even the need for food is some kind of desire we should not have. One can be quite ridiculous about it. But the Buddha was not an idealist and he was not a moralist. He was not trying to condemn anything. He was trying to awaken us to truth so that we could see things clearly.
Once there is that clarity and seeing in the right way, then there is no suffering. You can still feel hunger. You can still need food without it becoming a desire. Food is a natural need of the body. The body is not self; it needs food otherwise it will get very weak and die. That is the nature of the body - there is nothing wrong with that. If we get very moralistic and high-minded and believe that we are our bodies, that hunger is our own problem, and that we should not even eat - that is not wisdom; it is foolishness.
When you really see the origin of suffering, you realise that the problem is the grasping of desire not the desire itself. Grasping means being deluded by it, thinking it’s really ‘me’ and ‘mine’: ‘These desires are me and there is something wrong with me for having them’; or, ‘I don’t like the way I am now. I have to become something else’; or, ‘I have to get rid of something before I can become what I want to be.’ All this is desire. So you listen to it with bare attention, not saying it’s good or bad, but merely recognising it for what it is.
LETTING GO
If we contemplate desires and listen to them, we are actually no longer attaching to them; we are just allowing them to be the way they are. Then we come to the realisation that the origin of suffering, desire, can be laid aside and let go of.
How do you let go of things? This means you leave them as they are; it does not mean you annihilate them or throw them away. It is more like setting down and letting them be. Through the practice of letting go we realise that there is the origin of suffering, which is the attachment to desire, and we realise that we should let go of these three kinds of desire. Then we realise that we have let go of these desires; there is no longer any attachment to them.
When you find yourself attached, remember that ‘letting go’ is not ‘getting rid of’ or ‘throwing away’. If I’m holding onto this clock and you say, ‘Let go of it!’, that doesn’t mean ‘throw it out’. I might think that I have to throw it away because I’m attached to it, but that would just be the desire to get rid of it. We tend to think that getting rid of the object is a way of getting rid of attachment. But if I can contemplate attachment, this grasping of the clock, I realise that there is no point in getting rid of it - it’s a good clock; it keeps good time and is not heavy to carry around. The clock is not the problem. The problem is grasping the clock. So what do I do? Let it go, lay it aside - put it down gently without any kind of aversion. Then I can pick it up again, see what time it is and lay it aside when necessary.
You can apply this insight into ‘letting go’ to the desire for sense pleasures. Maybe you want to have a lot of fun. How would you lay aside that desire without any aversion? Simply recognise the desire without judging it. You can contemplate wanting to get rid of it - because you feel guilty about having such a foolish desire - but just lay it aside. Then, when you see it as it is, recognising that it’s just desire, you are no longer attached to it.
So the way is always working with the moments of daily life. When you are feeling depressed and negative, just the moment that you refuse to indulge in that feeling is an enlightenment experience. When you see that, you need not sink into the sea of depression and despair and wallow in it. You can actually stop by learning not to give things a second thought.
You have to find this out through practice so that you will know for yourself how to let go of the origin of suffering. Can you let go of desire by wanting to let go of it? What is it that is really letting go in a given moment? You have to contemplate the experience of letting go and really examine and investigate until the insight comes. Keep with it until that insight comes: ‘Ah, letting go, yes, now I understand. Desire is being let go of.’ This does not mean that you are going to let go of desire forever but, at that one moment, you actually have let go and you have done it in full conscious awareness. There is an insight then. This is what we call insight knowledge. In Pali, we call it nanadassana or profound understanding.
I had my first insight into letting go in my first year of meditation. I figured out intellectually that you had to let go of everything and then I thought: ‘How do you let go?’ It seemed impossible to let go of anything. I kept on contemplating: ‘How do you let go?’ Then I would say, ‘You let go by letting go.’ ‘Well then, let go!’ Then I would say:
‘But have I let go yet?’ and, ‘How do you let go?’ ‘Well just let go!’ I went on like that, getting more frustrated. But eventually it became obvious what was happening. If you try to analyse letting go in detail, you get caught up in making it very complicated. It was not something that you could figure out in words any more, but something you actually did. So I just let go for a moment, just like that.
Now with personal problems and obsessions, to let go of them is just that much. It is not a matter of analysing and endlessly making more of a problem about them, but of practising that state of leaving things alone, letting go of them. At first, you let go but then you pick them up again because the habit of grasping is so strong. But at least you have the idea. Even when I had that insight into letting go, I let go for a moment but then I started grasping by thinking: ‘I can’t do it, I have so many bad habits!’ But don’t trust that kind of nagging, disparaging thing in yourself. It is totally untrustworthy. It is just a matter of practising letting go. The more you begin to see how to do it, then the more you are able to sustain the state of non-attachment.

You create your own positive vibes. Ultimately in the end no matter how much others wish you the best the only thing that makes it "best" is you. either way
I wish you the best. <3

If you really believed it was already yours and you expected it...
I dont think you would be here trying to figure out why its NOT happening?
You cant have the vibrations (thoughst feelings) of the ABSENCE of your manifestation and then RECIEVE it. In order to recieve it, you have to have the vibrations of it, you have to be aligned with the PRESENCE of it.

Dont ever worry about the subsonscious. Its not true that there is something hidden deep inside your brain making you do bad things. I honestly just think thats just what worry-warts made up to explain why they make bad decisions idk.
LOA comes down to this "like" attracts "like". I cant tell you exactly why those people get good manifestations from preparing for bad ones.
Im not inside their head but I have some pretty logical guesses.
Maybe they might prepare for worse and it takes them a few moments to do that and the rest and majority of their other thoughts and feelings are GOOD ones or positive ones.
Maybe they BELIEVE that preparing for the worse gets you good things and look what they are focused on and what their goal is? GOOD things. With the LOA if you believe something, you get manifestations that re-instate that beliefe BECAUSE you are FOCUSING on that belief.
Or maybe they just tell you they prepare for the worst or expect it but they really actually expect the best.

MAybe youre just manifesting more crows by focusing on them... Crows have different meanings to diff people. Im not superstitious and to me they mean awesomeness but thats just because I think every animal is awesome. Ive been manifesting butterflies wherever I go. A couple have even flewn over my shoulder. Its because when I first starting seeing them I would be talking about it and I ended up focusing on them so much now I see them everywhere I go, even flying across my cars windshield while Im driving and no I dont hit them : )

Maybe it feels less powerful because yorue not supposed to be waiting around on someone else to do something for you, in general you know? Let alone to try bringing forth wanted manifestations....
FOCUSING on your desire IS DOING something. And focusing on your desire does "bring it closer". By accelerating its physical manifestation. And you can focus in so so so many different ways...

Whether its an ex or a "friend" or just anyone period, makes NO difference to whether or not you are able to and in how long it will take to manifest.
The ONLY thing that the physical manifestation is dependant upon is YOU.
Are you allowing the manifestion to come to you? by laughing and being grateful and day dreaming and appreciating or
are you hindering it by stressing and justifying and doubting and resenting and focusing upon unwanted things.
Im not trying to attract either an ex or someone new. I dont try to do anything ever. Especially to "be" with someone. I have attracted both exes and new relationships though and still do, seriously. So its with experience that I comment about and say certain things.

Leave him alone and learn to and focus on being happy within yourself.
And once you do, I promise you, the universe will bring this guy back or someone like him or someone even better.
You gotta relax though and leave him alone. Focus on YOU.

If youre daydreaming because it feels good to do so and you just cant help it, then YES youre allowing and helping it to physically manifest in your experience. And YES of course you can attract anyone you desire to, if life caused you to ask for it then life has the resources to give it to you.
Focus soley on your desire and how good it feels to have it, figure out a way to make yourself feel and believe like its already happened, then physical manifestion follows. It has to, it is law. : )
That which is like unto itself is drawn.

Stop listening to other people. Their opinions are irrelevant to you and your manifestation. If you love this dude then FOCUS on being with him and relax knowing that its already done and on its way. Depending on how much you allow it will depend how fast it shows up in your reality. Stressing over FB and over your guy possibly lying or over what this B person has to say is NOT allowing. So what is allowing? Heres a clue that tells you when youre doing it: You feel better/good!
Figure out how to feel better/good about this subject that is your guy and every other subject regarding this desire. And once you do youll then allow the universe to physically manifest it into your experience. Because its already done! So stop getting in the way by fearing and doubting, let the universe finish doing its job.
