So What exactly is Intention Manifestation?

It's quite all-encompassing, really. The way it operates ranges from the very mundane to the very bizarre. A manifestation is basically anything that appears into your reality. Many people on this board try to intentionally manifest things, situations, events, into their reality, thus the term "Intention-Manifestation".

It simply means that you intend, or decide on what you want (for example: a new job or a new car, or a new relationship, etc.) and then you use manifestation techniques to bring it into your reality.


Here are a few examples, in the "experiential ability" sense:

1. Abraham talks about how you can create, if you simply hold the relevant thought for 68 seconds. Actually, it can be difficult to hold the relevant thought for even 20 seconds. Concentration is one of those abilities that can be developed with practice, but ... practice is needed.

2. Going to alpha is another skill that needs to be learned. Some people won't really be able to do this consistently, that is, maybe they succeed 2, 3 or 4 times out of 10 tries. Other people will have difficulty staying awake and alert in alpha - they may doze off or daydream randomly.

3. Doubt naturally arises, when you mentally try to do something which strikes you (to a lesser or greater degree, and due to your past conditioning) as unlikely, improbable or inherently impossible. Eg visualising yourself as slim, when you're actually very fat; or trying to mentally contact a long-lost friend, or holding a conversation with Jesus etc etc. Again it's a skill to be able to suspend that doubt.

4. Identifying your own limiting beliefs is another skill that needs to be learned. Many LOA beginners aren't actually very able to identify their own limiting beliefs; because they keep mistaking their own limiting beliefs for parts of an "objective" reality.

5. Managing your emotions is yet another skill. Many people are really just captives to their own emotions. If X happens, they feel happy; if Y happens, they feel sad; if Z happens, they feel angry. And so on.

6. Even visualization is a skill that needs practice and cultivation.
