I assume this is a joke, given the rest of your post, but I'm going to answer, anyway, just because I feel like it (you're not the only person who has read or will read this thread ).

No, nobody has to prove anything to anyone else, ever.

How does one prove a belief, anyway? I've cited examples of free overseas trips, nearly effortless immigration (despite doing it wrong and coming on the wrong visa!), healing, etc. I've also manifested stuff that isn't so glorious, such as the house we live in, which is too small for our needs, exactly as I (rather stupidly) predicted we'd end up in. I've also manifested injuries (by worrying too much about getting them, saying things like "Oh, if I'm not careful, I'm golng to throw my back out" and then, guess what happened...). I manifested chickens (live ones), I manifested a pond in my back yard (in an upturned bucket, of all things), I manifested a gardener, all of these were things I manifested into my reality without really understanding that I was doing it, until it had happened.

Now, the argument to be made against all this is that all this stuff "just happened" randomly, and just happened to coincide with specific things I'd thought, believed, spoken, expected, and so on.

How am I going to "prove" that my intentions (even the stupid ones) caused any of that? Answer: I'm not. I can't. All I can do is describe the situations and that I believe these were manifestations directly generated by me. That's the full extent of the "proof" I can offer.

So, essentially, even I wanted to prove something (which I don't), I couldn't.

Even if I did, I wouldn't say so. In my experience, keeping one's preferred reality to oneself allows for better momentum. If you start telling people you're gong to be a rock star or a supermodel or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or the mother of octuplets or something, you draw a lot of naysayers, and that can slow you down when you have to deal with them.

I will say that I intend to eat homemade vegetable soup for dinner. That much I'm willing to divulge.
