Try a more light hearted approach and pick several things to find, or, one of my favorite suggestions is that you send out the intention to witness something very bizarre and that your intuition will alert you when it happens, you will know when it happens without a doubt because you will have an ahaaa moment the instant you see it. |
So, you're saying I can't expect all of my intentions to manifest so I have to pick and choose?

You are far more likely to manifest, or rather 'experience', what you don't particularly want in life. Learn the lesson from that.
I read 'Ask and it is Given' four times last year and discussed my views about it on this forum. I quoted chapter and verse the ambiguities it contained.
The main one was that the book alternates between saying you must be vibrationally aligned with your desire and you must be vibrationally aligned with Source.
So, what if you want a million dollars? You are aligned with the desire but not with Source. Source may think it is not in your best interest to have it. You work out the rest.
The teaching boils down to little more than, 'If you really want something, go for it'. But, of course, in true American fashion, someone makes a packet out of selling the idea.
The 'experts' appear, doling out advice to the gullible. 'You're not doing it right. What you need to do is ... etc, etc, etc'.
The gullible lap it up. 'Wow, I manifested a parking space at the supermarket today!'.
I manifested a toothache the other day. I don't remember asking for it. |
Wow, this is brilliant, great metaphor too. You know, you're right. I'm sure a lot of these "experts" have had certain things not manifest. And no one should need to read thirty books about the LoA to understand it. You just saved me a lot of wasted hours.

It's your universe, no one else's. You want a million dollars, say you have it, and you'll give it to yourself. (Barring any self defeatists ideas left over from Cultural programming.) |
I wanted to see someone in a red hat, said I saw one, and it didn't work.
