Think of it this way - thoughts just have an inherent tendency to transform into reality. The stronger the thought is, the stronger its tendency to transform into reality.

However, like most other effects in nature, the process will take the path of least resistance. For example, if you suddenly have an extremely powerful intention to drink coffee, a few possible things may happen:

(1) you will get up, walk to the kitchen and make yourself a cup of coffee; or
(2) your mother may suddenly make a cup of coffee for you; or
(3) a cup of coffee will mysteriously appear out of thin air.

(1) represents the path of least resistance and therefore is likeliest to happen. (2) is a path of lesser resistance than (3), and is therefore much likelier than (3) to occur.

If you have an extremely strong desire to see ONLY blond people, a few different things may happen:

(1) non-blond people may start vanishing off the face of the earth;
(2) it may become highly fashionable for everyone to dye their hair blond;
(3) you may go and live in a remote place where the very few people you'll meet are all blond.

(3) represents the path of least resistance and is most likely to occur.

In IM theory, a common piece of advice is that you manifest the outcome, then practise detachment. In other words, you go deep and generate a strong thought of what the outcome should be - then you avoid thinking about the how.

Why? One way to look at it is that LOA will automatically find the path of least resistance to manifest your outcome. If however you interfere with that process by thinking a lot about "how" the outcome will come about, you are mucking up that process by sending out your interfering "how" thoughts.

Example: suppose you manifest the powerful intention to get exactly $5,000. The universe has infinite organising power and your thought will start searching for the easiest way to deliver $5,000 to you. It may be that the easiest way would have been for your boss to give you a surprise special bonus - and the universe is therefore going to arrange a series of events at work which will result in the boss deciding to give you such a bonus.

However you start sending out interfering thoughts like how maybe you will pick up $5,000 lying on the street, or perhaps someone will offer to buy your stamp collection for $5,000, and so on. The end result may be that you don't get any money at all because you are sending out conflicting thoughts about how to get $5,000 and these thoughts act against each other.

On my blog, you can go through my diary entries and you will see that recently I had manifested the desire for an opportunity to speak at an industry conference. I did not specify when, where or how, except that it should be sometime in the next 12 months.

I had never spoken at any conference before, I have no reputation as a speaker at such conferences and I did not have any contacts to call. In fact, I called no one at all - I made no attempt to search for an opportunity eg by surfing the Internet or calling up any professional association etc.

However, the universe took less than one week to find me the speaking opportunity. In fact, the organisers had already decided on all their speakers, but one of them pulled out suddenly and the organisers had to scramble to find a replacement speaker. Me.

This is what I meant, when I say that the universe has infinite organising power.
