I don't know if I completely agree with that view.

I know that most people say something similar regarding LoA. But here's my explanation.

1. I'm not "asking" the universe for the intention over and over again. I'm stating that this is what I expect to have happen in my life, just like visualizing.
2. But because I'm more of an auditory person, I say it and hear it rather than "see" it as a form of affirming that it is happening or has happened already or that it's on its way.
3. If repeating the intention for such purpose is equal to "asking" the universe repeatedly, then visualizing is equally guilty in "asking" the universe for the intention again and again.
4. But in both cases, we're not "asking" repeatedly. We're merely reinforcing the intention (for the lack of a better word), feeling that it is happening or that it's on its way. It is merely a difference in the choice of sensory, depending on what is more dominant for the person.
5. As such, as I repeat, it helps me to visualize or feel how things are/will be. If I could just do the visualizing and get it, then I'd probably do just that. That's why I suggested that perhaps those of us who are more auditory try it this way and test if this will help in the visualization process.

Hope I'm making sense here. This is what I think anyways. Does anyone see if there's anything wrong with my assumptions or logic here? If someone can tell me for sure why verbally repeating the intention is less effective than just the visualizing alone, please let me know. I'd hate to waste anymore of my time practicing this the wrong way.

Thanks.
