Default The myth of I-M

When people see movies like "The Secret" and read books about the Law of Attraction, they get the impression that they can reach whatever they want via Intention-Manifestation: you send your intention out to the universe, the universe will arrange itself and manifest the object of your desire.

If I-M would work every time, everybody would use it, because everybody wants to be happy, rich and healthy.
All I-M users would be in a constant state of happiness, because they have (or they can get) everything they want.
Browse through these forums, and you'll see that this is not the case...

The fact is: I-M doesn't work all the time (that's the least you can say).

Some say that this is because of a lack of experience, that your intention is neutralized by other (unconscious) negative intentions, etc.
This reasoning is nothing more than a self-fulfilling prophecy: if I-M doesn't work for you, it's YOUR fault - no further explanations needed.

Now, suppose that it is possible to master I-M and that everybody becomes an I-M expert.
In that case, it would be just a matter of time before all people in the world are happy, rich and healthy, and that there will be no war or injustice anymore.

Do you really believe that?
Do you really believe that I-M is the solution for all problems?...

I-M is only a perception, an interpretation of some coincidences.
Nothing more.

Keep in mind that a person can have tens of thousands of thoughts every day, while in the same period hundreds of things happens around him.
It would be mysteriously if none of these thoughts matches with one of these events.

It's interesting to know that almost all people who defend I-M have a good reason to do this: they promote their own book, their own blog, etc. In summary: they earn money directly or indirectly with this I-M stuff.
