There we go. Someone pulled off the blue feather manifestation. Took her a grand total of one hour.

For those who don't know what the blue feather experiment is, well, I think the idea originally came from Richard Bach's book "Illusions" which is really about LOA. The idea is to see whether you can make a blue feather appear in your reality, simply by focusing on thoughts about a blue feather.

Cool, I've found this sort of thing to be a great confidence builder, especially in the beginning. It let's you know the system works.

RT Wolf · 03-13-2008, 01:32 AM

Heh, that blue feather experiment and the direct method thing was something I mused about a few weeks ago and sent ALG a PM about.

If the point is to get what you want, rather than to just figure out whether IM is an accurate model of reality, you stop trying to focus IM to work through just a few magical ways. Two ways to frame it. One is the dominance of analytic philosophy and the scientific method in our society that chooses "truth' or accuracy over pragmatic results, not to mention how many times a lot of us are made to feel stupid if we give the wrong answer or something. The second is an article by Steve about how do you figure out if something is accurate or not. His suggestion is that more accurate beliefs give you more creative power in the universe, so you can create better.

In either case, applying LoA to waht you want isn't very hard at all. A few minutes of visualization, or thinking about what you want in a certain way (which has non-magical benefits, too) is about all you need. So....what's stopping you? Fears? Get over it. Just do it. Why? Cause you said so.

This seems to be the tricky part, our belief that we have to do a lot to "make it work." If it's always working, all the time, then it was never not working. I guess it's more a case of allowing. At this point I write my intentions in the morning, and in the evening.

It's that "inbetween time" when life as you know it APPEARS to be the same, that you have to stay focused.

RT Wolf · 03-13-2008, 01:37 PM

Another thing i've noticed is a lack of committment or real decision. If its clear that you will get what you want and are willing to work for it or pay most any price for it, regardless of magical means or not, it seems that IM works better.

I thinkt hat's why "successful" people do better with the LoA, because they're already used to cutting off all other possibilities and focusing solely on what they want. This basic decisiveness is another one of the reasons I suggest IM as an advanced topic after basic goal setting and achievement have been figured out.

cylon · 03-13-2008, 01:53 PM

Goal setting has been affective for me. My only question is, does that not limit you to getting things a certain way? How do you set a goal, work to achieve it, and still be open to your intentions coming in an easier way that you didn't see when you set the goal?

richloaguy · 10-08-2008, 06:13 PM

I read this post earlier and commented on the "Blue feather experiment" in a few other posts. I only found this website 8 hours ago, and had never heard of it until then.

I was not trying to manifest it. I was just blogging about it.

Long story short.

I just looked straight ahead, and attached to my bedroom window is a dream catcher. It has blue strings, blue beads, and 6 white feathers dyed blue on their tips. It is now on my keyboard as I type. I did not move from my chair.

NEXT........

wayne (I swear to god and on my life), I'll send a pic to anyone unconvinced.

JaredR · 10-08-2008, 07:31 PM

I did this a few months ago and the feathers manifested in under 24 hours as actual feathers in my yard while I was mowing.

Very fun experiment. Ever since doing this I notice at least one feather every day when I walk home from school.

blueflame · 10-10-2008, 06:54 PM

I am trying to manifest a pure white feather...I will post here and let you all know how it goes.

blueflame · 10-14-2008, 04:16 AM

Went to a festival, and saw tons and tons of pure white feathers (people were wearing them on their heads and costumes). It works

Eiion · 04-17-2010, 07:06 PM

Hello,

(first of all, very sorry for my poor english).

First post here. I read lots of posts in this forum, tried manifesting, analysed past experiences that could be "explained" by the LOA and/or associated state of mind ; discovered that my situation was created by habits, fears, believes. This analysis process is still going on, I feel I'll try reach truth and peace and better material life more and more for a long time.

Two weeks ago I was reading this thread about the blue feather experiment ; I think I already manifested material thinks (car, job, ...don't remember) ; not really the best thinks but the ones I thought I was allowed to have. That's something I learned here : self-allowing. So...two week ago I just thought it would be funny to try the experiment. One week later I forgot this idea, and the blue feather went to me as a decorative bird on a cake. I decided it was time for me to introduce myself to this community.

I specially enjoy reading Acting Like Godot, Dharma, Nicbrahms posts and others I don't remeber the nickname, thank you all.

Desert · 04-17-2010, 07:34 PM

How about a blue feather boa as the only accessory on a young, nubile ...

Oh, heh-heh, sorry, wrong forum.

Diandra25 · 04-17-2010, 08:18 PM

this is funny.

when i first started the Loa "path" i red about this and sometime later,i did manifested the blue feather and i was like

this really is true!

it was since then that i finally admitted to myself that there is much more to all this,than what i could think of

kenny r · 04-18-2010, 11:47 AM

my friend did this a few months ago. And she's the skeptical one!

I never did a blue feather but I vaporized a number of clouds after first reading Illusions several years ago.

aikidogirl · 04-19-2010, 04:22 AM

About 3 hours after I saw this, I watched the Blackhawks game. Their jerseys don't have blue feathers, but they were feathers nonetheless!

rawxstasy · 04-19-2010, 09:19 PM

I tried it also. I asked for a blue feather last night. This morning, I got up and a beautiful large bird with blue feathers and white plumage flew in front of the patio window! It was amazing.
