I believe that the universe helps those who help themselves. If you want to manifest something you also have to go where what you want is likely to be found. It's another way of being resourceful. In other groups I've attended it's called not trying to buy bread in the hardware store.
If you truly want to see someone in a red hat today, you should go somewhere where you're pretty darn sure you'll see someone in a red hat today. If your time frame is a little more open, then you can relax about that and let the red hat find you. |
What interests me most about IM/LoA is using it for things that are difficult or unusual, not for things that can be achieved through common sense combined with a little action. And I'm interested in the more magical aspects of it. That's why I don't like it when the blue feather experiment is turned into going to a pet store and looking at the parakeets.
Sure, if for some reason it is very important to me to see a blue feather, I guess I will go to the pet store and look at the parakeets. But I already know how to do that. That's not "attracting" a blue feather.
