001: You say you were absolutely certain that you would see a red hat. But now that certainty is gone. Because some artificial time limit was passed, and your senses contradicted your previously unshakeable conviction. You decided to trust your senses over your set intention. But this IM thing doesn't work like that. Like Yoda said to Luke: "Do, or do not. There is no try." You can't approach it like some science experiment. You have to adopt it like a religion. Become a fanatic! No matter what your senses and critical thinking tells you, you must not waver in your faith that the Red Hat will appear in your reality in full glorious 3D, someday, somehow. The more you believe it, the more you tune in to that reality. But you can't go around writing doubt-filled posts on forums like this, thus nullifying your previous efforts. If it takes a lifetime to be able to manifest that shitty red hat, then so be it.
