Wow, thanks for asking, I've been organizing my thoughts to cut to the most critical!
It's all about belief. Of course that's what keeps the LoA debate raging forever... so when you "aren't sure about all this IM stuff", you shoot yourself in the foot (collective you).
So, I think most everybody posting here already knows that.
But then, even though we know stuff cognitively, we still have those limiting beliefs that put us on autopilot. And frequently we can't step far enough back from ourselves to recognize them.
A few pages back was this comment:

It's the LOA paradox: Those that would seek for personal gain do not get to instantly manifest. Some don't get to manifest intentionally at all. The Source is smarter than you. It doesn't give God power to greedy little fecks.

So, believing that creates a whole set of rules. Why believe that? I choose not to. I believe all things are possible and everything is available as long as we allow it into our experience. And we have been domesticated, so we've had lifelong educations aimed at squelching any natural IM skills that come as standard equipment.
I think a lot of what makes IM work for me is about things that don't seem related at first blush, but that are foundational. Principles that many would debate.
Such as:
- The purpose of life is expansion and joy
- Nothing is inherently good or bad, it's all our perspective
- With enough distance, one can usually find a blessing in every curse or tragedy
- I am an eternal being, a spiritual creature having a human experience.
And, if a lot of that sounds like Abraham, it probably is.
One thing I did was identify my strongest, easiest manifesting skill, and try to parallel it elsewhere. For me it's driving - I can clear traffic and know the best route to take. Even just being in the car, I don't have to drive. It's truly like magic, and I realized 2 things. 1 - I have no resistance to the idea; no conflicting thoughts, no concerns over deserving. 2 - I love to drive. I look forward to getting in my Beetle and driving anywhere from 2 miles to the store to a road trip to FL. I've always loved everything about driving, so don't have any negative concepts about road rage, other drivers, whatever.
I try to mirror the energy that comes with my driving intentions, since those are so easy. When I get into the same state of eager anticipation and belief, it's all fine.
So, my remaining challenge is dollar abundance. I have good heath, a loving family, a wonderful home...
and debt.
Now, I see some challenges for me in this area: As a young adult, my mantra was "I love a challenge". It was a way to face problems and learn and grow, and when I took on the mantra of "Everything always works out for me", then I started getting faster resolutions, but still get those challenges to work out!
My money thing for years was "I always have plenty and all my needs are met". And I have great material abundance, but that mantra doesn't deliver great cash flow!
I could talk about my mother's Depression-Era-upbringing consciousness and how it effected me, yada yada. And, there it is - I just had to bring it up, didn't I? We are so addicted to explaining and justifying our lack, that we have these endless habitual loops.
So, I just focus on happiness. I think that a big piece of this is also love. Pure, clear, vibrant love that isn't conflicted or tinged with guilt, obligation or any type of should. I've decided that the more fun I have, the happier I am, the more I can uplift those around me and intend that it continues out into the world in waves.
I love the Ganesh Mantra you shared, because the vibration of words in a different language, combined with a certain intent, can break through past conditioning in interesting ways.
The Kaballah Code, a novel by James Twyman is another resource that involves praying using 10 variations of the names of God. I've been playing with that, too.
That was a lot of rambling. Sorry.
Another shortcut? Something that short circuits your mental fabric and jolts your world view. Whatever that is for any of us.
I look forward to comments!
