Not just 'no', HELL NO. Of course I can't disprove the Mongoose God. I wouldn't even want to try. It might offend him. Or more to the point, his followers. Doubt is easy. It's believing in something that's the hard part. If they believe, good for them!
A lot of people leave the 'action' part out. Mostly because ACTING is a lot less fun than sitting back and waiting for lottery tickets to fall from the sky. I had one woman on another board tell me she had manifested a brand new Jaguar in two weeks. I asked her how she managed that. She replied, "I formed the desire. I cut out pictures of the Jag I wanted from magazines and pasted them all over my bedroom. I talked all the time as if the Jag were already mine. Two weeks later, my husband leased one for me!" Ummmmm....NO. That is NOT what I would call manifestation. That is what I would call nagging your husband until he leased you a car to shut you up. This, BTW, is how I manifest the trash being taken off.
There is more to it than you have been led to believe on this board, I think. Even if you end up not buying in totally, the processes part of the Abraham/Hicks books is very valuable for its positive mood improvement. From about September through the first of this year, I was in serious depression. I was having semi-suicidal thoughts and the whole bit. I could not seem to drag myself out. I didn't clean house, I didn't do my job properly, I felt worse and worse. External things over which I could not logically have had any control which negatively impacted our lives continued happening, also. Then in the last few days of December, when I wasn't sleeping and was beginning to have less semi and more suicidal thoughts, I saw the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?". Which led me to the movie The Secret. Which led me to read every single thing I could get my hands on about intention, manifestation and the Law of Attraction. Since that time, my mood has gone through a 180 degree turn around. And life is responding. It has only been six weeks, but my husband's work has picked up, I have gotten two new customers in my barn, the main contractor my husband works for has decided to start mailing our checks, which means we get them earlier in the week, we have somehow turned around in the bill paying department and I have daydreams instead of nightmares. Along with things I would previously have considered outside of my sphere to control, however, I have also started eating better, cleaning the house regularly, being friendly with people I meet, working harder and riding more and generally I have more energy. These things could account for some of my life improvements even if I decided to leave out the Law of Attraction. But not all of them. What accounts for the 'happy coincidences'? Do we really believe in coincidences? I think I have decided that I don't. I am much happier thinking that my reality is mine to create. My reality is not some random event at the mercy of the cruel winds of an uncaring universe. My reality is created from my own positive feelings and drawn from a Universal stream of boundless abundance. See?? That second one sounds WAY better, doesn't it?
