Well, of course.

Who invented the phrase "positive thinking"? A guy called Norman Vincent Peale way back in the 1950s. What was his occupation? Pastor.

Markus has declared that he does believe in positive thinking. But Markus does not even realise that the founder of the positive thinking concept believed in the IM concept.

Norman's books are peppered with many accounts not just of how positive thinking provides self-motivation, but also manifests people, events and circumstances at the right time and place .... for the positive thinker.

Prayer, by the way, is one form of intention-manifestation. But of course! Deep prayer is, after all, intense thought + strong belief (faith). That's IM.
