wolfgang how do you know this is not how other people go about it?
These are huge issues. Ego vs Higher Self, Abundance mindset vs Scarcity Mindset.... and everyone has their own take based on their own individuality.
I don't think ego is where true desires come from. I believe that is your highest self... which wants love, abundance, creativity, all the big stuff. I know that's what I want.
Ego in my opinion actually gets in the WAY of IM. A big subject is money. IM says, you deserve just like everyone else deserves. For many people their ego says they DON'T deserve. So they may start IM or intending for abundance, and what happens? Their ego sabatoges it. It says "no, I am not worth having abundance. That's only for people who work hard. If I don't work hard, I don't deserve". Then your intention stops dead in it's track.
Ego tends to get in the way of manifesting your true desires. And ego would say "who little old me? Nah, I can't have that stuff. It's just me. Give up those dreams."
You talk about the natural state of flowing, and I think that's where this all comes from anyway. I think the practices of IM and visualizing, everything else, are little "tricks" designed to go AROUND your ego (who would make excuses why you couldn't have stuff) and eventually weaken it to the point that you are more or less in your natural, happy, abundant, in the moment state.... which is where things tend to flow.
