@acting:

* I don't believe Jesus did any 'real' miracles. Maybe he healed some like other healer seem to do as well today. But I'm convinced he didn't go on water, raise the dead and the like.

* Your example of the mother coming in and asking you if you want coffee doesn't prove anything. It's still a coincidence unless such the probability of such an event becomes higher than usual. If you're wishing for coffee once and your mother comes in to bring you coffee I'd say: lucky coincidence. You would have to repeat that a few times, a hundred times. If you then get your coffee in over 20, 30, 50 or whatever percent of situations without moving your ass, then I would say that this becomes interesting and needs further analysis. But surprisingly it doesn't happen like that ...

* If Said Baba can manifest objects out of thin air then he should let people film him. If he's not a con man, he's got nothing to be afraid of.

* You said: "This is entirely possible. In fact, there are millions of people around the world who are like that. For example, some of them may own a couple of properties and they just collect rent every month. You'll see that this state of affairs didn't come about randomly either. At some point in time, they must have intended to buy a property, and they must have intended to rent it out. And their intentions must have manifested."

But where did they get their original properties from if they had no money? Did they just fell out of the sky?

* You said: "What you see though is that the manifestation of intention into reality takes time."

LOL, of course. Because actually working takes time. So where's the benefit of the LoA? If you work clever you make money. No magic about that.

* You said: "Your difficulty is that you're skeptical. Well, you already know the IM theory. If you're skeptical, you block your own intentions, whether you're trying to manifest a cup of coffee, or free money, or proof of IM. That's your challenge."

Sure. The unproven, and unprovable, theory cannot fail! It's always the user

@jill:

* You said: "In other words, if you intend to make money...then get off your ass and make some."

I agree. But you need not to invoke that magic LoA. It doesn't help you more than general positive thinking. No magic involved. Only motivation.

@songwriter:

* You said: "All I know is that Universe needs time to "rearrange" itself once you make an intention."

How do you know that? And how would the Universe 'rearrange' itself if two people have contradictory intentions?
