Paul-
I want to thank you for your private reply to a posting I made a while ago... about financial lack.
You really helped set me on the right track, and with a few of those inconsistencies in my belief system worked out, I've found it easier to manifest things.
In the past 48 hours I have manifested $200 in income, and found out that an online retailer is refunding an erroneous $500 charge to my credit card. So that's basically like manifesting $700.
Not bad considering I came to this forum in dire straits, with absolutely no money at all.
I think what needs to happen is this: we need believer-only threads, or a section just for believers. I hate the word believer because it makes us seem like followers of a particular faith... maybe I-M 'practitioners' would be more accurate.
While a certain amount of skepticism is useful in society as a whole, within the field of I-M it just gets fatiguing to read so-called rebuttal responses on here and elsewhere.
I remember taking an excellent film course in college taught by a really great professor. But one or two people made a point of contradicting ANYTHING he said. If he said that Casablanca was a seminal film, a hand would dart up in the air and be like "Well, not really, what about the 1962 New York Times piece that said it got much of its inspiration from..."
At a certain point, the rest of us were just like "please, we realize you're a nineteen year old prodigy, but some of us would like to hear from the guy who is actually being PAID to teach."
Same deal for I-M. At a certain point, I just want to hear reassurance and run my latest techniques by people who excel in this area.
