Angela, great question. You definitely have something there. The fact that I even feel the need to defend my beliefs reflects on my own character -- if it works, why defend it, right?
I don't have a good answer for you, other than that I see a part of my old self in I-M doubters and I feel a need to address their doubts. I wish I had spent less of my life doubting, and more of it
doing and creating and being.
I don't think I will any more though. My beliefs are my beliefs; if other people want to say that I would have made $700 even without I-M techniques, that's cool with me. It doesn't change the fact that I now have that money and didn't before.
