If you'd really like to know - it's my excessively meticulous nature.

When my manifestations started happening, it seemed miraculous but I could not dismiss the possibility that they were attributable to good luck, random coincidence, my own natural talent & hard work etc.

So I started to record my own manifestations in writing. As time went on, I got more and more compelling evidence of LOA at work (compelling to me, at any rate). But my own recording methodology failed to satisfy me, because I wasn't always very disciplined and regular or sufficiently detailed in doing the recording. As I compared the latest events in my life with my previously-written notes, I wasn't entirely satisfied that my memory wasn't playing tricks on me.

In September 2006, I decided to improve my recording method even further, by starting a personal blog, which I planned to regularly update with details about my goals, my plans, my progress etc. This helped somewhat. However, by November 2006, I realised the shortcomings of this method. Although by then I had quite detailed recordings of the events of my life, and furthermore quite considerable successes in various things, it was still not possible to prove to my own skeptical mind that all these successes weren't due to my own talent, hard work, charming manners etc.

So I refined the experiment even further. Firstly I decided to start recording in even more detail, the different LOA techniques that I use, the dates on which I did the IM exercises, the events that subsequently happened etc etc.

Secondly, apart from recording my manifestations and actual events in my life, I would set for myself ridiculously and irrationally ambitious goals. (In fact in Nov, I announced all this on this forum). So this is what I wrote on my blog in Nov:

2007 shall be the year of my Great Experiment. I shall set huge goals for myself. They should be so huge that it would appear impossible for me to attain them through normal means.

Except that I do not intend to employ normal means. That's where the experiment begins.

Since then I have been achieving ridiculously and irrationally successful results. I have mentioned them several times on this forum, so I shall not do so again - I think it will start to appear boastful.

However, you are free to plough through the extensive posts on my blog for the details.

Because I have such big goals now and such detailed records of my LOA efforts as well as personal actions taken towards such goals, and I am recording all this down in considerable detail, I have had plenty of material to analyse.

After analysis, I have seen quite clearly (for myself anyway) that while personal effort definitely does play a big part, the universe also bends itself to help you achieve your intentions, if you do your conscious creation.

The fulfilment of a goal can require a number of steps. Some steps clearly are within your control. Other steps are apparently not. What I am seeing, more and more clearly every day, is that the "Apparently Not" steps are also within your control. With LOA.

To give you a simple example (just one - otherwise I will appear boastful), if you go through my blog, you may see that I had the intention for a new job. Four opportunities automatically came to me, before I even had time to send out one single application or look at any job ad. I have now accepted one of them. I start work later this month. I will have the rank of Director in a global role, in an international bank. I will be one of the youngest persons in the entire organisation ever to hold such a senior position.

And guess what - I don't even have any direct experience in this area of work.

It's a kind of magic.

My experiment still goes on, by the way. Possibly it will go on for the rest of my life, because increasingly I see it as an endless journey (and I'm not saying that just because Abraham-Hicks said so). Anyway, these are my some of my currently outstanding goals. I told you that they are ridiculously and irrationally ambitious. But you're welcome to keep checking back on me in the course of 2007, to watch me achieve them.
