LOA Experminets -Anyone want to try?

[tonytiger78]

I guess we need a thread or something to keep track of this manifestation, besides some methodology with more structure would be useful to help everyone along!

What do you think?

May as well use this thread for results. TonyToneTone posted the procedure on the first page of the thread (for one minute each day, say the intention, visualize, etc.).

Ooh. I might want to participate.

$20k huh? Hmm... Can I make that €20k? Hmm that probably wouldn't be fair, as I'd be getting a significantly bigger amount of money...

Maybe I should say that I intend for €15824 to come into my life... Bah. Can I intend for $20k to come into my life, in my own currency?

Hi 3T and all,

I just printed your affirmation out to keep around for daily affirming.

And to make it easier to read and look prettier, I changed the layout a bit, and now it actually looks just like a poem or maybe a prayer:

"In an easy and relaxed manner,
in a healthy and positive way,
in its own perfect time,
for the highest good of all,
I intend $20,000 to come into my life
and into the lives of everyone
who holds this intention."

Looking forward to the manifestations.

Thanks for creating this thread and the experiment.

that's really funny, JMononoetoe

What with constantly changing exchange rates, you may have to recalculate your exact amount in Euros every day and change the affirmation accordingly! That doesn't strike me as effective. The universe might get confused

Personally, I'd either pick an approximate amount of Euros that makes sense to you and stick with it, maybe 16,000, or preferably, I'd just go for the $20,000. Maybe you even luck out and the dollar goes up and you'll get even more in Euro out of this than the 15,824 you would have otherwise anticipated.

[JMononoetoe]

Interesting. When I was watching TV there was a (nonfictional) crime programme on, and they'd give €20k as a reward to the one who would give the golden tip to arrest the criminal.

Well, I'm no Sherlock Holmes and I am certainly not getting actively involved with this, so I'll just keep focusing on the intention
It's just interesting. I never noticed before that they gave 20k awards for golden tips.

Also, I'd actually prefer it if the dollar would kind of be worth less than the euro Do you have any idea how expensive guitar strings are over here? Hahaha

Well I found 1 dollar and three pennys today, a bit of a slow start but I'm still grateful and I'm excited to see what's comming next.

[Indy107]

I'll take mine in $10's and 20's please. Oh and thank you.

With $20,000, I will pay off 4 different creditors I owe money to. Which will definitely be for the greater good of all. And I will still have some left over to take my wife on a nice vacation this Christmas since I have a mandatory 2 week shutdown and she just got laid off.

Count me in.

[marinik]

Count me in! I will write it on my wish blackboard in my bedroom.

PS: Do you think it will work as a collective intention if I write it in my native language? I am still not sure if my subconscious mind works in English

[Jesann]

Question. (What else?) Before the IM experiment was proposed, I was already expecting some money from a couple of people. I figured that receiving an expected amount, while very welcome, wouldn't count as part of the IM experiment-- it'd be a bit like counting the weekly paycheck you've been receiving for the past ten years. Very very welcome, but not exactly out of the blue.

Today I received some of the money (thank you!!!!). However, it showed up about a week earlier than expected. Would that make it count as part of the IM experiment? Manifesting a quicker time frame?

(If so, hey, I'm already up 20 bucks!)

[Jesann]

By the way, I've made up a basic Excel file to keep track. As of this post, we have 17 participants.

Do I get my own worksheet?

[marinik]

"In an easy and relaxed manner,
in a healthy and positive way,
in its own perfect time,
for the highest good of all,
I intend $20,000 OR MORE to come into my life
and into the lives of everyone
who holds this intention.
OR SOMETHING EVEN BETTER
"

Well it sound so much better in my language.

[Jesann]

I think that using your first language would be fine as long as the intent matches, right?

We have to make the wording consistent, however, so with two people already leaning towards "at least/or more" wording, what do y'all want to say?

I've been doing that on my own, so the count goes up to 3.

[ruchirkc]

At least/or more is OK but I never like adding "or something better" at the end...

[wachusettgirl]

I'm surprised at how excited about this I am, in just 2 days I can already feel the amazing energy!
For me it's helpful to do the affirmation, "in an easy and relaxed manner..." for a couple of minutes, then I spend a few minutes visualizing what I plan to do with the money. I love reading what other people write about their plans as well, like Indy did. It helps me to put more emotion into the "lives of everyone who holds this intention" part.
For me, it will be part of my start-up capital for another (successful) small company, and will help me improve the life/future for my daughter.

[52success]

thank you for such a suggestion. I am in.

Agreed to a point (with all due respect to both you and Marinik). "This or something better" is good when you're manifesting something like a house or job, which can have so many variables that it's easy to miss one when creating a list of what you want. Money, though, is a pretty specific want. If you want $20,000, "something better" than that is still money, more than $20,000.

[marinik]

In the last 4 or so years I have been into Intentional Manifestation I found that sometimes I really don't know what I truly want/need or how I want it. So I trust the "Universe" to give me what is the best for me. Maybe it is a 20.000$ contract where I will earn the money and get a chance to get another contract and so on... or a car worth 20.000$... or what ever... so the "or more" comes in as "and why not" because 20.000$ is a relative sum - depending on how much you are used to having - for sum it is a fortune (as it was for me when I was in my 20's), now for me it is a nice addition to my budget.

I'm on board with that; I've done a pretty bang-up job so far with proving that I am not at all clear on what is best for me, so right now I'm looking "Heavenward" and gesturing smilingly toward the ol' steering wheel...

[marinik]

I am, in a way, relived that I am not the only one not being totally clear about my intentions. I still want so many things, sometimes even conflicting. And you think years and gray hair brings clarity and wisdom . Just kidding, you do have a much better idea about who and what you want.

I've been getting some synchronicities after I read this thread and decided to join.

Get this, I found out a contest I was considering entering is giving away prizes totaling $20,000 in value. Alpha Reflection. yea

Isn't that just the "Universe" deciding on the "how?" You're still getting the $20,000, just through the avenue of a contract or an object worth that amount. To me, if I suddenly got a chance at a work project paying extra money, I would consider that part of the same manifestation, not "something better."

There could be some sort of misunderstanding on my part (Wax Frog seems to know exactly what you're talking about), or it could simply be a difference in what each of us was taught in terms of IM School. To me, the "something better" sweeps up missed details, rather than affecting the "how" of how what you want appears.

Naturally you're going to keep it a secret - you don't need us butting in and competing after all

I could be wrong as well, but I took Marinik's view as being like mine - I worry that, being possessed of wisdom not remotely approaching that of a Master of Time and Space , my chosen specifics might be boxing the Universe in too much, or worse yet creating unintended consequences not far removed from those the statement "for the good of all, harming none" is aimed at. There could, after all, still be a loophole there for some kind of harmless but still psychologically very challenging mischief - "Hey Wax, how'd you like 20 grand? All you've got to do is eat this bucket of snails!"

I was also speaking in a broader sense, having made a bit of a muddle of my life so far, and wanting to tap into this IM stuff so as to see about fixing it, about turning it into some semblance of what I thought it would be 10-20 years or so ago, while that's still at all possible.

[marinik]

Jesann I see the 20.000 grand on my bank statement. This is how I visualize in my daily routine - this the way I spend the one minute concentrating on our collective intention. I read my affirmation from my board every time I pass it and when I wake up, while I still have my eyes closed I can see my bank statement with 16.000 Euro that was not there before we started this experiment. But if this is not the best way for me to manifest it, if it is not "for the highest good of all" I have the "or something better" part that gives the Universe the "means" (can't remember a better word at this moment) to materialize it any way it should for the greater good and me .

So I am not interfering with the "how", just giving the "higher source" the artistic freedom to do it the best way for all concerned.

Hahahahahahahaha! I know what you mean. Most of my intentions have safeties like "for the good of all," "under grace in perfect ways," etc., because I've read "The Monkey's Paw" way too many times!

[Wax Frog]

I'll gladly settle for 20 at first, as long as it comes to me "mystically". Any and all torpedoing of my doubts is utterly welcome. I'll even bring out the metaphoric good china

It really does sound like we just have different interpretations of the phrase and different meanings behind it. So you would use the phrase but I wouldn't, just based on how we both have learned to use it.

Conversely, I don't really visualize something like my bank statement having an extra amount, because it makes me feel like I'm limiting the amount in there-- if I visualize what I have now plus $20K, but then I have more in there than I do now when the $20K starts arriving, would that mean I'd somehow not gain the full $20K? And so on.

In the end though, it sounds like we've all got our different processes that lead to the same final point. So instead of the consistent wording I was thinking about, consistent intent would be better. (Hey, look! "Something better"!)
