Over the past 8 months, I have been testing I-M with more than an open mind -- as many of you know.
I stocked up on intention-manifestation books, watched The Secret numerous times, and maintained a gratitude journal. Even joined the $1 mln. experiment.
At this point in time:
- I have no girlfriend
- I have very little money
- my dream apartment has turned out to be a disaster; the landlady is a control freak who is demanding cash payment each month (I've told her I can only pay with my checking account; as a rule I don't deal with cash amounts that large)
Now, I am thinking positive and maintaining an attitude of 'receiving' and 'allowing' as Ask and it is Given fans would call it.
I'm starting to think this is all just a sham invented by clever TV marketers (as in the case of The Secret) and money hungry authors.
I've been willing to try it, the results aren't coming in. The universe is handing me failure after failure after failure and this is NOT what I have been 'focusing my intention' on.
'Intention goes where attention flows' one guru said on The Secret Larry King special; I definitely have been putting my attention on successful outcomes, but at a certain point I'm just deluding myself.
None of the physical manifestations are there yet to support my positive outlook on life. Family members are starting to think I'm just unreasonable.
