 Manifesting the Impossible Anyone have any good stories? I mean really impossible, not just improbable. I just recently started learning about intention-manifestation and the law of attraction. I was going to try several different types of things for the sake of experimentation. I thought about trying one thing that is physically impossible, just to test the limits. Is it possible that my personal beliefs will hold me back? The experiment was going to try and use the law of attraction to give myself the ability to fly. I believe that it is impossible to fly, so I was not sure how this was going to go. My imagination started running wild and I envisioned that I really started devoting my thoughts to this and then one day, I get hit by a bus -- killing my physical body. That would be the universe saying "There you go, now you can fly!". ("you" would be referring to my consciousness, just to be clear. Assuming consciousness remains after death.)  I decided to start with things that I think are possible so I don't sabotage myself, but I'd like to hear some unbelievable stories if anyone has some.      |

| Well, in a subjective reality model, if you think that it is impossible, then you can't manifest it.  Every one of your beliefs are an intention, and the more firm the belief, the stronger the manifestation. A belief that something is impossible is a very firm belief.The question that I have is, who says that flight is impossible?

| I agree with you clearly. If you can believe it then it is possible. Remember you create your own reality. Manifesting the Impossible. In other words "Manifesting the Possible"

Matt ! I was so glad to get to the end of your message with you still contemplating this idea with your feet ostensibly still on the ground Couple things on this: One: I believe there was a time that we didn't think we could fly and then these two brothers had an idea which turned into an intention then a plan of action and now we have so much air traffic you couldn't see too well between the routes over some places if you had to look through the air traffic routes at a given time. Did Wil and Or think in terms of manifesting intentions the way we are? Who knows? But they could fly. I'll think about that next time my plane hits the sky. I travel a lot. Two: I do think we can manifest what seems to be impossible. At the same time, what do you think about the integration of the universe (a phrase I just made up to describe the idea that we (people, animals, plants, rocks, spirits, love, gravitational forces, whatever else is here)--meaning that this all really works together in some way? Three: I like your idea of "doing the impossible" physically or otherwise. Someone who weighs 250lbs and is grossly out of shape with diabetes and all the rest wants to lose weight, get in shape and drop the associated illnesses. Someone else has metastatic breast cancer, 3 docs telling her she's got less than 6 months, wants to live long enough to accomplish some crucial things in her life--lives 3 years longer and does those things. Someone else is a famous jazz guitar player, has a brain anneurysm explode in his head, forgets all he knew including all his own tunes--lives with his parents for say 5 years and now is one of our current jazz guitar masters. All these stories are true. The first two patients of mine, the third Pat Martino for any of you who are jazzers. I like your question, asking about stories. I've heard a couple great stories here already, Annie's being one of them and others. I hope we can hear more stories of people doing what they never thought they could through intention-manifestation. all best to you this morning!

| isn't it impossible to manifest something that you think is impossible? or maybe my belief that it is impossible to manifest something impossible actually makes it impossible... anywayz... you can't create anything you think is impossible, because your fundamental belief is that it's impossible. Steve talks about this exact point in one of his podcasts, it's either the one on fear, or true nature of reality. An example he uses is, say you want to gamble is LasVegas, get super lucky and win big. So you put out all these intentions to be lucky, and a bigger winner. Then you go to LasVegas, but surprise surprise, you lose. This is because your fundamental belief was in the law of probability... So, yeah, no matter how many intentions you put out there for something to happen, if your fundamental beliefs aren't congruent with those intentions, the they won't manifest. |

| I wonder if you can challenge the impossible belief (what ever it may be). I'm assuming when we say "fly" i picture like superman. Perhaps because I may tend to think that it seems impossible, just because I can't see others doing it (when In fact there may be poeple flying around right now, I wouldn't even know it). I'd like to share something that I rarely share with anyone... Back in 98-99 I experienced something that scared the "poop" right out of me. It all started when I was in a conversation with someone I worked with but the conversation felt different, like he was talking about something other than what the topic was on (has anyone ever experienced this?) Anyway, the thing that stood out was, he said nobody can tell you what it is, you have to see it for yourself... At the time i was like (what the heck is he talking about), shortly there after, thats when the wierd stuff started hapenning... You know how steve talks about the alpha reflection, well imagine if you will, that happening all the time but instantly, as an example I would be sitting in my room and have this thought about money, just then my roomate would knock on my door telling me something about money, and pink floyd's "money" would come on the radio (this may be reffered to syncronicity)... This was happening ten fold, everythought i had, it was a little scary because it happened so much... I can remember the first syncronistic event i saw, I was like what was that, and kept asking myself over and over "what was that, does this happen all the time and i never noticed" well that's when they picked up the pace. It was kina like... Do you remember those pictures that when you first looked at it all you saw was this pattern, but if you let your eyes shift you would see a sailboat...? It was like letting yourself shift into a new, something or other... (dimention maybe, I don't know). It's really hard to explain, I stopped telling people because of the reaction I would get. It has sence subsided from the level it was happening. But during that time I did experience Telapathy, which is the most trippy thing ever... That's even harder to explain... But I can assure you that it does exist, does it happen everyday, probably, but i've tuned it out (it will definatly rattle the nerves). So can people fly... Whose to say. But i do know this, There is much to say about curiosity... Perhaps, asking yourself "can I fly" and watching to see the responces you get, you will get your answer... Do I think anything's possible, YES... Do I believe it... Somewhat... |

 I keep going over the power of beliefs (law of attraction, subjective reality) in my head and the more I think about it, the more it makes sense to me. It is somewhat related to concepts that exist in an objective reality (Pygmalion effect), so even when starting from a lower level of consciousness it is not very far-fetched. Think about it: if you believe in the law of attraction and act accordingly you are going to have unstoppable confidence, be contagiously happy, minimize the effects of fear, and probably build this amazingly satisfying life for yourself -- even if the law is totally bogus! A positive, empowering outlook is beneficial to any mindset. Also, think about how beliefs relate to belief systems (heh). Every religion would be "true" for it's followers. This is, of course, nearly inconsequential until you consider what happens after you die. If you believe in heaven and spend your life doing good and visualizing this perfect heaven waiting for you then -- *poof* -- one day you end up in heaven. This could also go badly, though. If you believe in hell and spend most of your days trying not to go to hell and thinking about who will go to hell and how horrible hell is, all the sudden you might find yourself in hell. People who believe in reincarnation are reincarnated, people who are atheists might cease to exist or "reboot" starting with a new fresh consciousness with no memory of their past selves, etc. It's an interesting thought experiment.

| Very ambitious of you, I like that. Quote:
Let's just look at the incentives, shall we? Travel - Save alot on car fuel, and it may be much faster than walking long distances as well. Access - Think of all the places around and outside the home you would otherwise not be able to reach without the aid of a ladder. Construction would probly become far more safer and productive as well. Fun - Just the thought of flying about is exhilarating, by yourself or as a group activity, airborn sports anyone? The possibilites are limitless... But with most things it would involve a hefty amount of practice, even if the intention to fly was clear. Much like trying to walk for the first time, flying would be much the same, just adding another dimension to the mix.  And of coarse, if one learnt the ability to lift oneself, one would also be well aware of how he/she could effect other objects in a similar way. Another boon for the avid builder. (heh) |

--- As for stories... Some of the most major intention manifestations i've made (although I didn't know I was doing it at the time) were situations throughout my teen years that I met particular, interesting individuals who changed my mindset either in subtle or major ways, many of them teachers, but others were less likely. During my later years at high school I was obligated to do so many hours of work experience before I could gain my certificate that I was doing beside the one for completing school in it's entirety. I was reluctant in choosing a location in which to do this, so, because of my idoling, I just managed to grab the last place avialable- a short train ride to small IT solutions business. When it came to starting the work experience I found that only two people kept the place running, the manager (or whatever he might have been) and a IT technician who also, because of lay-offs, was also now the receptionist. I was surprised to find that he wasn't what I expected. His interests were far more broad than just that of the IT industry, but of more spiritual subjects. While doing my assigned database work we would often discuss things like human potential, philosophy, metaphysics, you know, the standard fare. But after awhile, seeing that I was indeed interested in what he had to say, he started to then speak about the idea of subjective reality and how one can apply to their lives. I found out a little later that he had become interested in these idea from reading many titles of the author Richard Bach, namely the book 'Illusions' which is also now one of my favourite books. It took many months later though, after work experience was done and forgotten by most other students that I realised just how timed that whole event was, it was exactly what I needed at the time to continue on my path of concious development. The mundane no longer held any interest for me, so, unknowingly to me at the time, I used the law of attraction to pull a teacher into my life to help me continue my learning. And that's only one example! I've met many highly concious people within my young life already, and i'm sure there will be many more to be met. |

The thing is that if you wish "I want to be able to fly", you won't manifest a thing... because you already can fly, just take a plane... IM has often this effects... If you wish "I want to be able to to fly without the help of machines", perhaps your arms start transforming into wings... If you wish "I want to fly like the Superman character" or so... that would be more accurate. But be sure of really wanting that... because it may come true. |

| Hell I manifested the flying spaghetti monster out of thin air, it flew around my bedroom for a while and then it left through the window. Then I manifested the ability to fly, sprouted wings and followed it into the sky.  |

Manifestation things are not immediate. So you couldn't make the monster out of thin air. If you have manifested wings they need time to grow, etc.IM only makes the universe go in certain directions but don't breaks the rules of the universe!. |
