[Acting Like Godot]

For example, lets say you pick a movie like Top Gun. Do manifestation exercises on that and continue to do them while you wait. The manifestation might happen in a way that you see the movie on TV all of a sudden, or someone gives you the DVD or you're at someone's house and they are watching Top Gun or you see a clip about it on the news or something of that sort. I know, I know, it's not very convincing as it could be what you would call a "co-incidence" but it's a starting point. You could pick a song that they never play on the radio anymore and see if you hear it. These are just warm-up manifestations that won't ruin your world. You could then move up to manifesting $100 from an unlikely source, or something like that. These are still little tiny manifestations that your skeptic mind will still dismiss as co-incidence, but as you create more and more of them you'll start to realize that the chances of all these co-incidences happening all the time like that are slim to none and you can set the intention to make them more and more unlikely. Along the way though, you will encounter small fears that surface about what could happen to your life if all this is true. You'll need to deal with those.

These are very good examples. In fact, two nights ago, I was just thinking about something I had written on this forum about "miracles". Just then I heard this Bruce Springsteen song (I don't know the title) where the line goes, "Counting on a miracle, counting on a miracle, to come true."

These little occurrences are what Carl Jung called synchronicities, or the the "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events."

Synchronicity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jung never said anything about intention-manifestation, as far as I know. He did believe in synchronicities - which you can conveniently think of as "highly meaningful coincidences". In fact, Jung was the guy who coined the term synchronicity.

If you overlay Carl Jung's views with the IM concept, what you would conclude is that your thoughts manifested the apparently acausal event.
