Well.. I have explained in the forum that I have an opinion about IM that's different from the majority.
Instead of posting my opinion between posts of people with other opinions I'll try to develop it here.
I've had new ideas about it today. And I'm gonna try to write them down now. Maybe I will see my opinion has no sense at all and I'll join the majority.
Ok, you think an intention: "I want..." for me, or to be more accurate "Yo quiero..." in Spanish, as it has a slightly different meaning.
Why sometimes it manifest or not?
Why it takes some time or not?
I think that is because the Universe has to "rearrange" itself to manifest your intention.
And maybe it has to "rearrange" some other people intentions too!
You intend to get some job. Imagine the boss of that company wants an employee with a certain trait and you don't have it.
The Universe has to rearrange itself and change the intention of the boss to make him want another kind of employee, You.
So, does that mean that if you intend it you will get that job? No.
The boss has his own intentions. He wants an employee that...
Now there's the situation of one intention against the other.
"Battle of intentions" or whatever you call it....
Imagine you intend "I want to be the tennis player that's #1 in the world ranking".
It's not gonna happen tomorrow, you're not gonna read the papers and see yourself there... (unless you're Roger Federer, lol
). BTW, I'm a very bad tennis player....
The Universe has to rearrange itself a lot to manifest that. Your body/mind has to gain skills, etc. then you obviously have to play the tournaments... and all that needs some time.
It doesn't seem so hard thought...
Okey.
You're not the only one intending that.
At least the top 10 players may be intending that... and who knows how many people does it too.
Your intention may rearrange other people intentions but theirs rearrange yours too....
The difference is that if you're familiar with the IM "I want..." you have more of a Conscious Control over it. Other may not have such clear goals, these may be that "talents" that never reach the top.
But you have the advantage of knowing what you want and saying it to the Universe. That's an advantage but that doesn't make you number one neccesarily.
If we come back to the job offer... You have that job position as a clear goal. But maybe the boss doesn't have such a strong affirmation/intention about the kind of employee he wants... that's when you intention can manifest.
Now some weird things about it.
It seems the Universe is a perfect democracy. I mean all the people has equal power to intend. The same for you and for that boss, only that some people makes the intentions clearer and stronger.
But hey... what happens with 5 intentions of 5 people against 1 one intention of one person.
In Democracy the intention of the majority should manifest. Though it may take some time anyway for the Universe to rearrange itself anyway.
mmm... well, the famous situation of the child abused. The child may want to stop being abused. And the man may want to keep abusing the child.
Then the Universe doesn't change. Unless... there are other people intending that to stop.
Often these situation stops when someone, as a teacher, for instance, or so realizes of what's happening and then he wants then to stop it.
So the world is just what we all want it to be or so...
To rearrange the world needs many intenders and time... and to have not many people against of it...
But conscious people are more..."conscious" with this than others... so we have greater power to make that change. We know how it works, or at least we try to learn...
Now I have a doubt... how many intentions can one person make? "A lot", will be an answer... okey... but then your power may be divided in parts or so, I think... don't you think?
Sometimes a intention of you doesn't manifest because... it goes against another intention you already have...
LOL... that's the problem of so many intentions...
Obviously I'm not sure of all this. I'm not like politicians, they're always sure of everything... this not even a theory but a hypothesis...
