Your points are not entirely invalid, John. In fact, I had made exactly the same sorts of observations much earlier in this thread.
I had pointed out that the correct strategy was to experiment with increasingly bizarre and unusual intentions - events which the person would consider extremely unlikely to occur under "normal" circumstances.
Of course, the difficulty is defining what's "bizarre" or "unusual" - once again, a subjective question. But it just goes to show how elusive a truly "objective" reality is. Who knows, perhaps it doesn't exist in any meaningful way.
In the end, it's my experiment, so I have to make my subjective judgment. I consider it bizarre and unusual, that an employee should be told at his official appraisal that he would get ZERO bonuses, and yet, two months later, receive a quarter of a million dollars (exceeding by far any other bonus he had ever received in his life). Just wondering if you would answer me honestly - would you personally not consider such an event bizarre too?
But I cannot stop here - I still have many more intentions to play with. Last year with LOA I cured a chronic skin problem that doctors told me was incurable; this year I'm wondering whether I should make myself grow taller, just for the fun of it. Sounds absolutely crazy, but I've just seen a Harvard Medical School study on how hypnosis can accelerate new bone growth in adults. So who knows?
