g'day Mr. Pavlina

One topic James and I discussed was how intention relates to direct action. A lot of people seem to think that you can just sit on your couch intending good things to arrive while behaving like a lazy bum. James' response to that was (I'm paraphrasing): "Do that and you'll lose your furniture AND your house. Soon you'll be doing your intentions from a park bench."

James said one of the problems with The Secret and similar products is the speakers who talk about the LoA professionally aren't fully aware of all the factors that contribute to their results. Often they downplay or fail to stress the importance of action because it's automatic for them. They're so inspired by their work that they don't feel like they're working at all, even though they may be putting in long hours. They've developed unconscious competence with the action part, so they end up taking it for granted. The problem is made worse when infomercial-style marketing is then applied to those products.
Waitt, action? I was reading esther hicks book and I thought it's just a matter of putting your self in the same vibration as what you want, right? Say I want to manifest a car, what sort of action would be required here other than putting your mind into the same vibrationals of harmoney to attract the car?
