I just read the article in the thread below:

Look no further, this is it.

Since the responses to it were full of praise and understanding, I didn't want to sully the atmosphere of the thread with my disgruntled feelings and my confusion.

I read the entire article with one sort of intention/goal in mind. I recently was forced to leave the country I'm in to apply for a visa to stay longer in it and it was never a given that I would be issued another visa for the length of time I wanted. I intended to get the visa and I also necessarily put a time limit on the time period in which I should get it.

As I read the article in the thread above, all I could think is that this article was really saying that if I want to manifest a visa, a residence permit for a foreign country, a domestic or international move, a trip around the world, etc., I should sit, visualize it, feel it, think it, only take "inspired" action....well, I could have stay in the country that I was legally bound to leave and just manifest the visa right there...and while waiting for inspired action, get arrested and thrown in jail.

I didn't do any of that. In fact, I endured 3 weeks of hell to get that visa, but by God, I got the visa and on the very last day of the deadline I set for it. If anyone knows how I could have gotten it with minimal agony, please tell me...

The fact of the matter is that there are plenty of things that you CAN'T manifest by sitting around, thinking, feeling and acting on inspired thought. There are forms and protocols you MUST obey in order to get things, there are an infinite number of goals to reach in an intention such as an international move and it DOESN'T just come to you and manifest itself to you, not even with inspired action, if, in the midst of all the stress of moving and packing and bureacratic red tape, you could possibly even feel the subtle nudge of such an inspiration.

I don't undertstand or see how a person, even one from the other thread, could possibly manifest any of the goals I've mentioned in this post without taking much deliberate action and deliberate, possibly even stress-producing movement towards the goal.

So which is it? Action or no action?
