My response was: ok …… Let Go and Let God?
Once we have faced our fears and let go of our attachments and baggage we need to be in a place of total trust - ie trusting Spirit and God to guide us. It's hard to do this if we haven't yet dealt with our previous baggage, but we can still try to start to trust in Spirit.
Regarding manifesting what you desire, again we have to be clear of our blockages (fears, doubts, etc) to fully be able to do this. Because negative blocks do just literally that, block the flow of our energy.
Once we are running clear, as it were, we can "ask" Spirit for what we want. But yes, they know anyway and it has been said that we just need to say "thank you" for what we want because it's already on its way to us! However, I don’t think it hurts to ask, as it helps us to focus on what we want in our lives. Please don't forget that gratitude is VERY much key to our progress.
I think Maitreya's statement in my student’s question could be misunderstood without explanation, so I don't blame her for being confused. I think what's he's trying to encourage us to do is simply get in the practice of asking, and so he's saying, in quite blunt style, "well, you've got to tell us, for heavens sake!" And what he's really making us do, is focus on what we want to achieve, and by "asking" Spirit, it helps us to focus.
Our lives have already been written and played out, we're simply running through the movie, as it were, but using our new-found spiritual skills which create a different and happier outcome. Our birth chart sets the plan in action, and if we follow Spirit's guidance all the way through our lives, things would run smoothly (the "Let God" part) but no ... our Ego Self gets in the way and thinks "I know best" and changes the flow of our original wonderful plan, decided before our birth with our spirit guides and masters.
So, our free will, goes off on one, instead of following our inner guidance/ our intuition/ our Holy Spirit - and changes the course of things.
So, “letting go and letting God” simply means to follow your Highest Self, your guidance, your intuition and going with it.
Although people are currently into The Secret and creating the life they desire, it is only the material world that they're creating more of, and this is secondary to our main purpose, which is to overcome all the worldly obstacles and become enlightened.
