Million Dollar Experiment

[pianoperformer]

So, I found that million dollar experiment post on this site the other day, and decided to give it a try.

I've come across this concept before, so wasn't really very skeptical, but I had just never tried it. But I made myself believe without any doubt that it would work. Well, i tried anyway, but it was hard.

From that point I started to act like I was expecting this money soon. I imagined checking my account online and seeing $1,000,000, or calling the telebanking and hearing it say the same. I even imagined what I would do with it; e.g., paying off my mom's debts, paying off tuition, buying a piano, putting the rest in savings for grad school.

Then I saw a suggestion from someone in this forum, regarding IM in general, to try thinking about it as one goes to sleep since it is sometimes easier to do this when one is in a deeper state of consciousness. I tried this earlier today when I took a nap.

Anyway, I did all this and waited, well obviously am still waiting. But...

Well first I finally deposited my $300 check I got for winning an award. I hadn't been able to do that for various reasons until this week. I'm not sure whether to count that, though.

I think the little alpha reflection was when I saw a credit in my checking account today for $6, because apparently the bank overcharged me for some ATM fee or something.

But then the big thing.

I just checked my mail and finally got approved for a $14,000 loan for college!

I had applied in March, and they said I was conditionally approved or something like that, but they had to send papers to the university for completing the whole process. I wasn't sure what was going on because it was taking so long for anything to come out of it. And then, to just get that email now that I definitely got approved; that's just great.

Just wanted to share. I think I might be half decent at this thing.

I find this experiment to be quite interesting as well and have been participating in one slightly differently for my own benefit for a little while. Still in the very early stages though.

I think the absolute key to this sort of experiment, is keeping it believable for you. There is nothing wrong with intending and working to manifest it all in one go as soon as possible, however it may help that while maintaining that you are going to manifest $1 million at a certain time in the future. It may also help to work on attempting to manifest some smaller amounts first, and building it up in believable chunks.

I've read somewhere around here that one shouldn't try to manifest for the future, but imagine oneself as having it now, since focusing on the future would also focus on the fact that you don't have it yet.

Your idea of splitting it up may be useful, though I think maybe it's trying to control it too much. I'm not obviously trying to get it all at once, or trying to get it in any certain way, but saying "I'll have $1,000 here and $5,000 there" limits it, I think. What if there's a possibility of you getting, say, $2,000 at that one time, but you've manifested only $1,000? Or what if there is some opportunity for a large chunk to be manifested at once, but you are focusing on smaller parts?

I do agree with you on both points pinaoperformer.

It is best and i think i have found myself that it is more effective to work in presence tense and think of yourself already having it rather then in the future. It is suppose to help your mind associate with the manifestation better.

On the other point about the size of what you are manifesting while i agree in principle, that working for the whole is best, it depends on the time frame that you want to work within, as well as your present situation. For example you may want to manifest a million dollar's, you may decide you want to do this within 12 months, however if you were working on a checkout in a supermarket earning minimum wage per week, then even if you were very optimistic this would seem like a huge task. This is not to say that it could not be done it absolutely could. However most peoples (and not all) minds will see the different between minimum wage and a million dollars as almost insurmountable in a 12 month period.

While on the other hand, if you were operating your own business making good but varying profits every month, then your mind would associate a lot easier and quicker the path to a million dollars with-in 12 months. You could open a number of other stores, you could add a new product range that generates that revenue, you could see a new business opportunity that would produce this amount. The main thing here is your mind is a lot closer to seeing this sort of jump in manifestation in 1 go.

I think the key is to start small, and maybe you will be missing some of the bigger opportunities initially, however the key point that you need to realize is that you need to know this works. So every time you manifest $1000 or $5000 or whatever you are proving to yourself that you can manifest what you want.

To follow the example that you mention maybe it isn't that you should be looking for something within a certain value area, Maybe be thinking more alone the lines of "I am receiving money easily and freely in varying amounts to achieve a goal of $1 million". Some of the same rules apply here that apply to sales, take it down to the ridiculous, in sales a car salesperson trys to sell on a monthly plan $200 a week gets you a car probably worth around $40,000 and it is much easier to have someone agree to part with $200 a week then a one hit $40,000. If you can manifest in small chucks say $5000 a day only on weeks days guess what you are getting pretty close if not over $1 million in a year.

Which is easier Thinking about making a million, or thinking about making $5000 a day. I know which i would prefer to do and that is absolutely making $5000 a day, If you can learn or manifest a way to make $5000 a day you are much better prepared then learning to manifest a million dollars, because 1 million dollars is still a limiting factor. While $5000 a day may be limiting but once you can do it on a regular basis you will be much better prepared to increase this to $10,000 or any amount that you wish.

Sorry for such a long post, sometimes i get carried away.
