it works through hit counting. If you intend something and it comes to you--however it comes to you--you count it as a hit. If it doesn't, you don't count the miss. You make an excuse instead. You had a negative thought, you didn't visualize hard enough, you ate a hot dog and now your body is impure, it was "not meant to happen."

As an example of correlation might be that I set the intention to exercise daily (barring illness or pain) for a month, on December 22. That same day (I just checked the timestamp on this and this is kinda freaky), I won a fitness DVD in the Subway Greatest Contest Ever Contest (out of 5000 dvds). Yesterday, I won three free months of gym membership (I think this might be only if I buy a year's contract but an interesting example none-the-less). For reference, I don't enter many contests, prolly entered about four-five in the last three months. There were a few other minor things related to my intention to become healthier.

and hundreds of people who desperately needed the dvd or the gym membership didn't get them. Weightloss/fitness promotionals are really common in December & January. If you hadn't "won" a reduced price membership you probably would have come across a coupon or a discount. You'd have counted those as hits also.

Phew, long post. Generally, though, I don't care about the details or minutae. I'm testing it for myself, and if it don't work, it don't work. If it does, then hurrah! And it seems to be doing something so far, so even if I'm wrong and IM isn't actually the real cause of my recent good luck, I don't think it can hurt me much.

whether or not it's true has to count for something. A harmless delusion is still a delusion. Make your goals, think about your wishes. Work to make them happen. If you grab a lucky break don't kid yourself that you somehow manipulated the universe with your mind. It will set you free (truth does that, I've heard) because if what you want doesn't come to you, it won't be because you didn't manipulate the universe properly or weren't "pure" enough.
