Actually, the word 'intention' rarely shows up in this book at all! They use desire, focus, attention... but not intention, in describing how to manifest your desires. That word must come from some other source -- like The Secret, maybe? Totally different.

There's no ambiguity that I can see at all in this book. There's nothing that says having a desire means it will be fulfilled immediately! It does say: you can intentionally manifest your desires by aligning the vibration of your desires with that of your beliefs. Allow, and let go of resistance.

And your question of morality is another issue entirely; that has nothing to do with if or how or why the law of attraction works. It's like saying: "It's impossible to grow a baby in a test tube, because it's wrong!"
