"When we release our deliberate intention, we rest in the willingness to receive "this, the equivalent, or whatever would be better," which settles the matter in our mind about further expression, including expression in fact.
It reminds us to release our will and stay released.
Now, this does not mean that we're to accept anything that comes along as automatically better, even if we don't feel that it is. Rather, it means that we're willing to release all willfulness, all urgency, all attempts to coerce or manage the form and timing of corresponding fulfillment in fact.
There are cases where, for reasons we may not see, not getting what we've deliberately intended would be better than getting it; keen Field training students recognize the paradox here: Release of deliberate intention means we're both willing to have what we've intended and willing to not have it. This isn't a contradiction, because being willing to not have is not the same as not being willing to have.
Receptivity must be there; we must be willing to receive. Resolve must be there---the resolve to remain true to the fulfilled identity no matter what may speak against it. But there's no way around the need for the unconditional release of our will, which means there can be no clinging, as clinging keeps the project within the limited jurisdiction of Particle will.
This may be challenging in cases where we don't believe that anything else could be better. Nevertheless, complete release of the will is essential---a release facilitated by our remembering that if the corresponding fulfillment turns out to be something better than we've envisioned, then we'll recognize it as better, and as the fulfillment of our deliberate intention."
