Why bother? I already explained it (some of it, at any rate) to Radical, in another thread. For you personally, I think the following points are more pertinent:

1. You are desperate to disprove IM. That is why you keep hanging around this forum when going by your own arguments, the logical thing for you to do is to say, "Bah! What superstitious fools" and leave for good.

2. I have suggested that you simply try IM out for yourself. But you have tried to find 10,000 reasons why you should not try it out for yourself. Even though trying it out would cost you nothing, take only a little of your time, and not hurt you in any way.

3. So you are obviously afraid of IM. If you believe that it is just a silly hoax, why don't you dare try it out for a little while, maybe two or three weeks, if nothing else, just so as to further convince yourself that it is a hoax?

4. You won't. Because you're scared.

5. You're scared, because you don't want the safe, familiar, predictable world that you live in to fall away. Heheh.

6. Of course you won't admit it. Your response will be that, "If I fail, you people will just say that I didn't believe hard enough." SO WHAT, my dear friend. What do you have to lose, if you fail. You'll simply be back where you currently are ... except that you have more grounds than ever before to be convinced of your current position.

7. And horror of horrors - what if you do not fail? What if you succeed? You will say, "Oh it can't be scientifically proven that Events A, B, C would not have occurred if I had not tried to IM them to happen."

8. My response would be - who do you need to convince in any direction, dear Markus? Only yourself. If you succeed, but are not convinced, then try again and do something more ambitious. If you succeed again, but are still not convinced, then try again, and again and again

9. ... until, perhaps, like me, you have tripled your annual income in three years, or done something else which you personally consider really amazing.

10. If you still cannot convince yourself then, oh well, what the heck. Just sit back and enjoy your tripled annual income. How bad could that be?

As for me, I'm just gonna experiment a bit more with LOA, because it's fun. I have already doubled my investment portfolio in one year (from less than $100,000 to slightly more than $200,000). And the intention I'm now manifesting is to more than double it again, in 2007, from $200,000 to $500,000. You can go to my blog and read my entries, and you can even come repeatedly to my blog in the course of 2007, to see if I'm succeeding or not. Feel free to laugh, if I'm not.

But if you want to be really constructive, just go and run your own experiments. You are the best person to convince yourself. Unless you're too chicken of course, haha.

And remember - when you succeed, you don't even need to come back here and tell us. So don't worry about me or anyone else laughing at you and saying, "I told you so! I told you so!"
