Quite Confused

I've read that when you manifest something or someone, you should not be obsessed over it.

But isn't the saying, "What you focus on, grows" also true? Isn't obsession also a sign that you are focusing on that certain desire of yours? But why is it that we should not obsess over the things or people that we desire? It seems that these principles contradict with each other.

Can someone enlighten me about this. I'm a little bit confused.

I think it's about the subconsious mind.You do your part,and then you let it to do it's job.
It's a paradox,but good manifestation results,happens only when you forget about them.

Sometimes results stay only on the mental level(seeing signs of your request) but they're not manifesting at all.

No one can tell you for sure,but yes i think the key is to do your part,and then forget about it.

Just find a way to get closer with your inner self,and do the work from that point.

Focusing is not obsession....it's a deliberate, disciplined practice that helps set your beliefs...
since believing in a thing makes it come about*.

My take.

* Try not believing something will manifest...hahahaha...see what doesn't happen!!!!

Probably that advice is because when you obsess on something you generate confusing signals, including doubt.

It is okay to repeatedly reaffirm with conviction and trust that will happen.

To get your wish through to your subconscious make your affirmations / requests clear, short, using verbs in positive present tense, charged with emotion, at the moment when you're falling asleep, and at the moment when you're waking up. You can also use (self-)hypnosis.

Resistance is the term Abraham uses. It's about starting, then stopping the wanting vibes with fears interspersed in-between that BLOCK it come coming.
You can obsess if you have to fear or doubt, but over focusing is often because fear/doubt is strong, so it cancels out the whole calling it to you signal.
