Default A New Believer in I-M (sort of)

Anyone who has read my posts before knows I'm a big skeptic of I-M, but a recent experience has changed my stance. Last night I was with my girlfriend and I wanted her to do something she normally doesn't like doing (no need to elaborate). Normally in this situation I'm thinking, "No way, she doesn't want to do it" and so on. This time I tried using my intentions to convince her. I thought, "She wants to do it, she's going to do it" and amazingly enough, it worked. I even pulled it off again later on.

I think that somehow she was able to read my thoughts without knowing it. I've read things that have said this is the way fortune tellers and psychics works. Anyways, I have a new belief in the power of my thoughts over others. I can't wait to try using this ability on my boss!

Has anyone else had similar experiences with I-M?

Good for you! Congrats! (Now you have made us very curious about what this was, but OK, let us leave it)

Seriously, I think starting I-M with your wife is good. I do it too with small things and it works. From there start slowly with larger and more difficult things. Don't try a million dollars right away.

When my wife and I go together to catch the train we never have to wait. It is because we booth manifest that the train will come. When I go alone, I usually have to wait.

So, I think that people manifesting the same thing together can be stronger. Maybe something for you to try?

Abraham-Hicks calls it "co-creating". Mutual communication, at an early stage (eg when you're still working out what it is you want to create) is highly recommended.

When I first stumbled upon this concept I also decided to try it on a simple task involving human intervention. I intended that my little sister would wipe the dust off my television screen. Imagine a 16-year old girl spontaneously deciding to come do that to an older brother, doing nothing else than that and without saying a word. It took about a week to manifest and I only focused on the intention once. I just sat there with an amusing grin on my face as she left the room.

I have a friend who talks about this... Although, I haven't tried it yet...
He says depending on the resistance from the other person, he can usually get other people to do things he wants them to do (he's a manager, typically this involves employees getting their work done)
After hearing your stories i might investigate it some more...


Thanks

I'm not sure I believe we can manifest trains to come on time, but I really think we can affect the actions of other people. It really isn't that had to believe. When we are focusing on something, it comes out through our body language and other people seem to pick up on this without knowing it. It is a fascinating concept and I'd love to see some scientific research on it.

Wait till you start doing it with people who are nowhere near you. Like someone on the other side of the earth "hears" your intention. That'll really freak you out for a while, but eventually you'll become comfortable with it.

John, I have similar feelings about this as you..however, I am trying to tell myself the brain is MUCH MUCH more powerful than we can even conceive, so I while i would't just sit around waiting to manifest, I would keep this in mind - I am not talking about water molecule experiments or any of that sort of thing ( I am inclined to believe its not true) - but the brain can figure out unbelievably complex things beyond our imagination - that can lead to "unexpected" encounters, and its a shame that the field esp is rife with frauds and charlotons if we can send radio waves through the world, I don't see why we couldn't send though 'waves' ...and yes i feel a little silly typing that
