Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - I see flaws in Steve's reasoning for SR and IM

To believe in your intenetions may not be the same as believing in SR. If SR makes no sense to someone, that may not interfere with IM working to some degree. Beliving strongly in anything is an attachment and makes one less flexible, even strong belief in SR! Why try to believe anything? Why this need to be convienced and be for sure? Why can't we just generate good vibes for our intenstions and allow the universe to respond? Like someone wanting to go swiming but thinking the water might be cold, but instead of touching the water to see how cold, one just sits and thinks and is paralized.

I think I have my own feelings that SR or the oneness is something to think about. Do I believe it like a hard fact? Not sure. At least saying that it's possible is enough - or saying I can't say SR is false will still allow IM to operate. (I hope)

But how different is IM than LoA? If you are saying LoA works, what makes IM fall into a different category? I always thought LoA is the statemtn or idea that IM follows. I intend and have manifestations and the law of attraction is the lip service for trying to explain how IM could be working.
