Highly Exaggerated Intentions

[Acting Like Godot]

For the next phase of my LOA adventures, I will be experimenting with highly exaggerated intentions. What do I mean?

Suppose my "real" intention is to be physically fit. Well, instead of visualising myself merely as being "physically fit", I would visualise myself to be as amazingly fit as, say, a world-class Olympic athlete.

Suppose my "real" intention is to get a promotion. Instead of merely visualising myself as merely getting a promotion, I would visualise myself to be the CEO of the entire company.

Suppose my "real" intention is to publish a book. Instead of visualising myself as merely having published a book, I would visualise myself as having published five books, all award-winning, bestselling and critically acclaimed.

You get the idea.

I know that there's a chunk of LOA theory which says that you can't manifest things which you find unbelievable.

On the other hand, I have a feeling that playing with highly exaggerated intentions may greatly accelerate the manifestation of at least the "smaller" version of the intention. Eg visualising that you have published five books may greatly accelerate the actual publication of at least one book.

I don't think I personally would have any difficulty playing pretend with myself. In my school days, I used to be actively involved in (1) drama and (2) creative writing, and in both cases I had to spend a lot of time seriously getting into the minds of fictional, quite complex characters and seeing the world from their perspectives. So I expect that I would be quite good, (if I wanted to) at imagining myself to be an Olympic athlete, a CEO, a bestselling author, or whatever.

Of course, in my school days, I didn't know anything about LOA. Now that I know about LOA, and about how to deliberately access deeper mental states, I want to discover the effects of LOA on reality, when I "play pretend" at a very deep level, and with highly exaggerated intentions.

Any views, people? Let me know especially if you have personally played with very, very big intentions which had seemed very nearly impossible to you then.

I was just reading an article about how the people who get the fittest are the ones that have the most outsized goals. If you shoot for the moon and fall short, you still might reach the stars, to paraphrase an awful Bette Davis film. And if you shoot for Tujunga, you just might reach the end of your own block.

Well to be honest... you're talking about highly exaggerated intentions, but for me personally they are nothing extraordinary! If we talk about really exaggerated intentions those would be intentions of being able to fly on a broomstick or whatnot. Things that defy our current knowledge of physics and such.

But I'm very interested in how your experiment goes, so I hope you will follow through with it. What I want to give as a tip is to "walk the talk". Let your actions be an effect of your intentions.

So what do I exactly mean with this? For example: you have the intention to be as fit as a olympic athlete. Then don't start talking about how fat you are, or how you are "not there yet". I'm sure you know how to work with LOA, but still it's very easy to fall into the trap of saying and doing the total opposite of your intention.

If you don't believe me just put in the intention and knowing that you are a multi-millionaire. And then see how you go through life and how often you find yourself talking about having too little money

ALG, I'm also fascinated to hear how your experiment works. I've thought about this myself sometimes.

Since I had the realization the other day, and posted here, about how I am always going around complaining about how I don't have any money, that it projects a complete attitude of lack and not of prosperity. So I decided to project prosperity -- not by going around spending money I don't have, but by other ways, such as not schlepping to the post office in sweatpants and a ratty sweatshirt, but putting on a pair of Levi's and a Lands' End sweater.

However, once I got there, I had to start chatting with the postal clerk about how I got the Lands' End sweater at a thrift shop and how expensive they are to buy through the catalog. Immediately I thought -- see, there I'm doing it again! I bet I do this all the time.

Anyways, I get the feeling ALG probably has a better handle on this sort of thing than I do

Heh, that's fascinating cause I was thinking the same thing last night. I was thinking that the seeming difficulty of goals actually prevents them from coming to us (because we preceive them to be difficult to get, etc, and thus create that). One of my goals is to have a million dollars, because I believe that is the amount I need to earn my financial freedom, (or a steady passive income of over 3-4 grand a month), and I was thinking that if I was aiming for five million dollars, then would I get the million dollars faster than I would normally? Because I know there's some spacing-out of the achievement of goals that goes on. If you have a ten year go, you might divide it up into ten year chunks, but what if the same goal could be done in five years?

Rambling now. I was filming an awesome concert late last night.

[cylon]

That sounds good RT. I wouldn't mind that type of passive income.

I am going to get a new job. For me that's the path of least resistance. I doubt it will make me financially independent but I think it'll free up the resentment/resistance I've built up already. Then I'll be in a more allowing mode. We're so glued in to how things can come to us though.

When you wrote about passive income I immediately had a reaction of "have to provide value to earn money". Hmmm.

There's a way out of the 8-5.

But my idea is not to defy the laws of physics.

My idea is still to do / be / have what I want. The new twist is that I exaggerate the intention and see whether the intention thereby manifests faster.

The intention itself doesn't have to be "extraordinary". For example, suppose you want a taxi. Instead of visualising one empty taxi coming your way, you visualise dozens of empty taxis all suddenly driving onto the street where you are. And then see whether your one taxi - what you really want & need - will show up almost immediately.

Now, naturally, I could experiment with "trivial" intentions (like the taxi example) or I could experiment with "extraordinary" intentions (like your broomstick example).

But I think I would rather experiment with intentions about things I really want, and which I could see myself having/being/doing. Again, the idea is - highly exaggerate those intentions, and see whether they all start arriving in reality, in a very big hurry.

So what do I exactly mean with this? For example: you have the intention to be as fit as a olympic athlete. Then don't start talking about how fat you are, or how you are "not there yet".

That is an absolute no-go, of course.

However I foresee that it will be extremely challenging for me to go around all day thinking like an olympic athlete. I could probably sustain thoughts consistent with a person who is, say, 15% fitter than myself, but I expect it would be very mind-bending to think like an olympic athlete all day long (or for that matter, a CEO or a bestselling author, or whatever).

So for my Highly Exaggerated Intentions experiment, I will heavily rely on my mind sessions (the times when I set aside 15 or 20 minutes to do pure visualising / meditating / manifesting). I can't wildly exaggerate my thoughts all day long, but 15 - 20 minutes per day should be no problem.

[Spiritual]

Ok I understand, so your intentions are not exaggerated, but the visualisations and thoughts you use to create it, are.

I don't really think it will be that hard to keep a consistency in your thoughts and actions though. It will be a challenge, but if you really want to do it, you can. So don't limit yourself beforehand by saying that it will be very hard to get it done .

It is important to accept that all your thoughts are real. If I imagine a pink elephant I am creating it in a tangible reality.

If you can accept the more and more frequent attractions/manifestations/synchros as having happened then how do you suppose it all works.

"SETH" teachings although "somewhat silly" in presentation offers a great explanation of how god/universe works. Every thought is a part of reality. So if you visualize yourself as a billionaire as opposed to a popper then this would work better than just visualizing a raise.

In the beginning there was emptiness. When the emptiness became conscious it began to grow. Matter became a new game that it learned to express itself. Then we branched off into entities and life. Our goal is to experience. That is the goal of the universe. That is how we began.

A person with a bad life experience (handicapped maybe?) has chosen that path often prior to birth, or during their cycle. We can create just as effectively if we recognize our "spirituality" or our godlike creative abilities.

We are all one. It sounds cliche. But it makes the most "sense" if any of LOA makes sense (or any religion).

So your thoughts are real. Now that you have created a pink elephant how come you cannot see it.

The universe will try to bring it into actuality as soon as possible. The trouble lies within others who do not believe in "pink elephants". Nonetheless the universe will attempt to bring it to you. Perhaps you will get drunk and see one. Perhaps a television program will be scheduled a month previously by producers about a "herd of pink elephants". Conforming to actuality can take form from the past. We live a multitude of possible realities, and yet experience the one that came through in actuality. This will explain why commercials and TV shows often deal with subject matters you are thinking of.

It would make anything possible. Haunted houses, aliens, every religion, seamonsters, vulcans, anything. Yet it must "fit" with what other life is expecting. So if you do see a ghost, don't expect everyone else to see it.

"ask and ye shall recieve" sounds like "the secret movie"
we are created in gods image.
"if ye have faith as small as a mustard seed"
"thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"

secret,secret,secret.

The beauty of believing this way is that you can BELIEVE that you are a "Billionaire" when affirming it. The reality is true. The actuality part of it will try to fit as quickly and plausibly as is needed to blend into everyones reality. It "manifests" (sort to speak).

1. Ask (creates intention within you)
2. Visualize (creates)
3. Affirm (creates )
4. Be grateful. (Thank-you,Thank-you).
Feelings of gratitude and thankfulness are the greatest achievements possible, because you what better feeling to have. It will attract much more to be thankful for.

My beliefs although referencing "seth" are supported by science.
YouTube - Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment
this five minute animation is a funny version of understanding reality. It is the double slit experiment that has caused quantum physicists to believe that everything I said is "kinda true". Over 80% of quantum physicists believe in the "coppenhagen interpretation"

Copenhagen interpretation: Definition from Answers.com
No reality behind our observations.

What does this mean to you.

You are a part of god, with powers of miracles and creation within you.

"god is aware of every sparrow that falls in the forest, because he is every sparrow that falls in the forest" - SETH

So dream big. I think it works better. I have manifested everything in my life, and so have you. Even before we were born.

Good luck with your "pink elephant", it will come to you if you focus enough.
(just don't tell ur friends).
