opposition to IM

[boston]

how do all of you who practice IM respond to people like Robert Greene, Tucker Max, Stephen Covey, etc. that you should see things AS THEY ARE instead of as you want them to be? i know many people might say IM IS seeing things as they ARE, but not in the conventional sense.

[Acting Like Godot]

I would say that there is no conflict. It's useful to see things as they are. That would really help you in deciding what you want to IM for.

Sometimes I think that manifesting an intention onto the universe is the easy part. But knowing what intentions you should manifest - ahhh, that's the tricky part.

Of course, you could always manifest an intention that the universe tell you what intention you should be manifesting for.

Seriously, I think that IM'ers should spend some time focusing not so much on how to manifest their intentions or why it is or is not working ... but on what intentions to manifest.

Why limit yourself to money? Or availanle car park spaces? (Seems to be the 2nd most popular IM target).

Money and carspaces are just little things that people practice with, as these are such obvious things that are dealt with on an ongoing basis. It's just part of the fun and playing with the IM now that they've become conciously aware of it, and their own thoughts.

Really, As people use the LOA, conciously, even on little things, they are in the process of subconciously intending the things that are more important simutaneously.

Example: My intention to manifest one million dollars into my life, and into the lives of others, in the easiest most relaxed manner, the healthiest most positive way, for the highest good of all, It's so much more than just a million dollars, I'm intending to manifest.

The million dollars is a representation/symbol of a great standard of life. A grand prize, so to speak. The GOLD STANDARD/THE GOLD STAR/ THE GOLDEN FLEECE/THE GOLDEN RULE etc... It represents all my best feelings towards my family, friends, the world. It includes everything. An entire lifestyle. I don't have to say more than a million, as it only takes one million to be a millionare, and I need not make a precise list of each person, or thing I'm including, (like, my cat, don't forget my cat.) My cat is already included.

As I've been focusing on my IM, I envision my life with happiness, and love all around, and health, and abundace, and laughter, and joy. Freedom, and ease for everybody, and everything.
Money, and parking spaces included.

It's a wonderful life, indeed.
