Unfortunately IM doesn't just pick random people to work for, while not working for others. IM is *ALWAYS* working in your life, even if you don't think you deserve it.
"Intention" manifestation is always manifesting your (subconscious) intentions. Therefore, if your subconscious intention is to be living a "normal" life where your conscious intentions don't seem to manifest in any coherent way, then that is exactly what you will manifest. For example, if you go to the grocery store and you consciously decide to manifest an empty parking spot close to the entrance and you get there and there is no spot, you will think "Yup... this crap don't work." which is exactly what you really wanted subconsciously.
Here's how I like to think of it.
(1) Conscious Intention = 1 point.
(2) Conscious Visualization of Intention = 5 points.
(3) Saying an affirmation = 2 points.
(4) Subconscious Intention = 1,000 points.
So, if you "Intend" to get an empty parking spot, visualize it and say an affirmation, you got 8 points total. However, if one of your subconscious beliefs is that "This crap don't work." that's like -1,000 working against you.
In other words, since most people are too lazy to rack up the 1,000 or so points to combat the day to day subconscious beliefs in their life, they hardly ever manifest anything consciously and therefore they conclude that IM doesn't work or IM doesn't work for them.
I guess another way of saying it is that if you could somehow surgically remove your subconscious mind, you'd instantly be in a "white room" kind of like in the movie "The Matrix" and the instant you had an intention for anything, that intention would manifest in front of you and then disappear the second you stopped thinking about it.
It is the subconscious mind that creates the illusion of permenancy by creating and re-creating the world around us hundreds of thousands of times every second.
This is why advanced LoA and IM practitioners are all about learning to re-program our subconscious minds.
Joe Vitale's book "Zero Limits" is all about clearing these subconscious beliefs and he talks about all the different technologies out there that might help out such as EFT, Ho'oponono (sp?), creative visualization, etc.
So, don't for a second think that you are defective and IM doesn't work for you because you are "unworthy" for some reason. Do you have to be worthy for your subconscious mind to make your heart beat automatically? Do you have to be worthy for your subconscious mind to initiate your immune system when your body gets sick? No, it happens automatically whether you're "worthy" or not. Your "worthy" because you were born - period. Don't ever let anyone tell you different.
