Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - manifestation energy: is too much detrimental?

OK, I just HAD to share this.

Over the past couple of weeks there's been a fellow that I've been thinking about. We used to train together, but I moved and now we're 2000 miles apart and haven't really been in contact for over a year.

I've also been thinking about setting up my own blog or other similar type of website. Not for personal development work - there are others who are far better at that than I - but more for business/finances/household debt reduction because that's my background.

Today I get a call from my buddy, whom I'll call Ron - because that's his name - inviting me to take part in a collective blog. I can write on whatever I wish. Ron has already registered the domain and the webhosting has already been set up.

All I have to do is write. Which I was going to do anyway.

Now, here's the more peculiar part. I put very little energy into trying to manifest this. The ideas - that is, Ron contacting me and the weblog thing - were not connected in any way, and the ideas would just occasionally flit through my head from time to time.

Other attempts at manifestation, though, have not been too successful. (Some have... but not ones that I could draw a clear and definite line between what I was trying to manifest and the end result. Also, the things that were manifested were relatively mundane... a pizza lunch, for one. I'm still awaiting my $10,000 cheque...)

I didn't visualize Ron contacting me, I didn't attempt to "ask the universe" about a weblog... the ideas just would float around from time to time.

So maybe putting a lot of energy into manifesting really isn't the way to go. At least, in this case, almost no energy went into it at all.
