Nice one, wolfgang. As some of you will have read, I'm not at all convinced about the Law of Attraction or Intention Manifestation, Synchronicity, etc., etc.. The idea that whatever you want is wanting you is a great way to make yourself feel more comfortable with the world and more in control. We desire this control so much that we think magically - i.e. we alter our perception so that it is in line with whatever magical belief we have chosen as our religion. I, for instance, could tell you about being sure I would live with a certain person - utterly sure of it, soulmate attraction universe making it so kind of sure of it - and then didn't. A million people could tell you a similar story. But here on this thread, people are telling their tales of meetings that
did work out according to the desire, and if you have convinced yourself of the magical ability to attract conditions or manifest things, you will grab the positive examples and hang on for dear life, ignoring the negative. You will thus condemn yourself to living with the illusion that you have psychic control over reality.

It may comfort you to know that millions of people have exactly the same intention toward a particular famous person. People with real drive and determination to meet that person and satisfy that urge to find out what is the cosmic reason for this inexplicable pull. So many, in fact, that there are security companies who do nothing but watch out for them, to keep the famous people safe. So please don't feel you're alone in this!

What she failed to point out is how unenviable it might be to be 'not alone in this'. What proportion of this mass of idolising humanity get what they want (let's say 1 in a million-ish). When you're in that magical thinking place, however, you don't see it. Only you and he are destined to be together. All the other deluded souls are just deluded souls. I like Angela's (and others') advice to consider why you are attracted to this person, thus using it as an opportunity to learn more about yourself, and to distance yourself from outcomes rather than putting energy into 'making it happen'. And I'm one of those who thinks it very unlikely that what you think you want would actually be what you want (and let's face it, how many famous people wake up and realise that they don't want to be famous, but now they're stuck with it?).
