Like we see in the thread "my very easy intention didn't manifest." Disappointment and frustration might be a natural reaction, and then maybe it's a natural reaction to go "It's not true!" rather than "I can get better at this." I know I've had that first reaction myself.

And yet I have observed and experienced techniques that seem to have worked (or manifested) precisely or semi-exactly like I or the person intended- but not consistantly.....so my attitude toward this is that I don't know about all of this and how the mind and energy works and I'm still researching, investigating this..practicing and discarding techniques, ect... And I consider myself a skeptic...
I was thinking about how skeptics here typically toss in the law of gravity as a contrast to law of attraction, because law of gravity is an obvious LAW that always works. But I got to thinking that to people with little knowledge of gravity, it would seem inconsistent. There are times it doesn't work. For instance, put a straw in a can of soda, and gravity doesn't work on the straw. The other day I got a box of boxes from the post office, turned the box upside down, and the boxes didn't fall out. Gravity didn't work there either. In both cases there are other forces working against the law of gravity.
