Here's a PM I sent recently. It's a bit long but the main point is that your intention to test without LoA is accurate or not is contaminating your intention. The second point is do you really wnat to see the red hat? It doesn't seem like you want it for its own sake, you want proof of LoA. You could set another intention to see that LoA works (remember to focus on outcome, not process, red hat is a process to proving IM is accurate). The third point is to relax, let go and be detached. Relax, you deserve it.

Essentially, I've noticed that I was trying to force IM to work only in certain ways, ostensibly as a more accurate "test" of IM (ie, isolate the variables). So when I IMed, I wanted the things I IMed to happen only through synchronsity or magically. That's not allowing, though, especially nto allowing it to work through the path of least resistance, even if that path includes direct action. The real test of IM (and you suggested this but the wisdom of your words was lost), was to apply IM to one or more parts of your life (across the board, ideally), and recognize that all results comes from intentions, whether magically or not. The important thing is to remain open to the possibility of magic. The greater number of options (ie, I can do this through direct action, or through synchronisity, or through etc) increases the belief that this thing will manifest.

In other words, I and others have tried to create an artificial situation for IM to work on. That guy Jack with the paddle with the red handle, for example, wants to test IM in an artificial way by a) asking for something he doesn't seem to want much at all, and b) ignoring the obvious choice in front of him and limiting IM to work through magic, which is forcing, not allowing. Many of our intentions (those of us testing them) are contaminated by our worries about each intention being a test of IM itself. I'm going to call this stage 1 testing. The kind of testing that you recommended and are doing now, I'll call this stage 2 testing. This, to me, seems to be the proper way of testing it, and has a lot to do with simply committing to a REAL test, by adopting the beliefs fully, rather than a skeptical approach.

The other thing I've realized is that the pure feel of desire is all I need. It doesn't need to be a burning desire, and I simply do not have to think about how it will manifest, will it manifest, all I can do is focus on how I want something, and that's it. I don't even need to worry about my doubts.

If I can remove the idea of forcing IM to work for me (and then worrying about whether it will or not, thus killing my intention), I can just focus on how I want something. And that's it, no doubts, no questions on how it'll come, or worrying that I don't hvae it. Just a pure feeling of desire. That's why my favourite phrasing for IM is, "I would like this thing" or "I want this thing" because that's a lot easier.
