When we focus on what we want to manifest, how much time do we give to focusing, and how much time to letting go?

I'm thinking 1/10 for focusing, and 9/10 time for letting go. Even then I don't focus that much. My desired reality is so alien to this world. But I try not to tell myself that because it would defeat any manifesting capability.

That is a question I used to obsess about as well, so it is a wonderful question.

Here is the thing: when you identify a desire, your unmanifested self, rides that desire to its probable conclusion.  Your higher self, or time/space analog finds that reality, or the vibrational probable equivalency of it and holds that vibration for you in potential manifested form.  I know I've said this to you before, but I'm going to tie it into the question you just asked, so bear with me.  Now, understand, that its thought is not exactly your thought.  It has its thoughts, and you have your thoughts.  Both are generating a reality.  But the advantage of your future self is that it has already found the thoughts you are seeking, which is the whole point.  It is communicating those thoughts to you via your emotions, which is your perception of resonance or dissonance with your higher self's thoughts.  So your good feelings are saying: warmer, warmer, and your bad feelings are saying: colder, colder.  This is your spiritual GPS.

Now, with that understanding, what is a thought?  A thought is just a focus of attention.  A focus of consciousness.  Your very reality that you are experiencing right now is a focus.  It doesn't really feel like you are focusing it into being however because you have gotten so accustomed to doing it, so good at doing it, so efficient at doing it, that you just feel like this is "how things are".  But its not just how things are, you are focusing your reality into being now, and always have been.  You've just been doing it so long, it has become automatic or subconscious.  You no longer have to put all your conscious attention on it.  It's like riding a bicycle.  After awhile, you don't need to concentrate on peddling, it becomes subconscious.  Its like looking through rose colored lenses.  Your conscious attention is on what is on the other side of the lens, not what you are focusing through.  Reality is the same way.

Now, how does this tie into letting go?  After your higher self has found the new feeling place of the new reality it acts like a vibrational anchor.  That is the new default, and given no expression of will, or focus, your mind would naturally, over the course of time, drift into alignment with your higher self.  As I said, it is the anchor.  So letting go is simply another way of finding the new focus.  The passive way.  But sometimes the passive way is easier for people than the active way, and in fact, to some degree you need both to manifest.  It is sort of like: your higher self is the north pole to your southern pole magnet.  Another expression of yin and yang.  And you are focusing all over the place, actively resisting the call of it.  When you stop thinking and let go, the magnet naturally is attracted back to its other half.  Also as with the magnet, the closer you get to its thoughts the more momentum or speed you pick up until the joining occurs in full.  And as the momentum picks up, it feels less passive and more active because you become a cooperative component rather than a resistant one.

So, the answer to the question of: "How much should I focus, and how much should I let go?" is simply this: pay attention to your emotions, and keep reaching for a better feeling place and you will find the perfect balance between the two.  Reaching for a feeling is like the secret back door to manifestation.  Technically, thoughts are what generate feelings.  But if you actively reach for a feeling, you cannot do that without also finding the thoughts, so it takes care of all of it.  And you will be inspired to the perfect solution for every situation.  Whether that inspiration is to "let go" or to actively find thoughts that are core aspects of the new reality is a subjective matter that will come to you in the moment required.  Just keep reaching for a sense of relief.

And if your desire is alien to this world, then create another one.  There is no rule saying you can't spend time in two realities.  Always think in terms of "how could this be possible" than in terms of how it could not.  And if you don't figure it out in this lifetime, you will be able to experience it afterwards if that is your heart's desire.
