Intending money

[CoolBee]

OK here's the issue.

I have sufficient income to live my ideal life (see my post in another thread). I didn't have a good plan for using excess money. I believed that until the day came that I knew what I WOULD do with excess money, then it wouldn't come to me.

Anyway, last week I had a bit of a lightbulb moment that basically said that was a limiting belief and that the projects would become clear when the money was here.

Since then, money has started flowing in and I feel it's coming easily - hurrah - the thing is though - its the sale of a depreciating asset I already owned and hadn't been able to sell for a couple of years, people repaying loans etc.. So it's money that was already really mine that I had "let go of".

Do you think this counts? What are your thoughts? Does it show I have 'unblocked' something, or is it all just a coincidence that it all kicked off from the very day after I had the lightbulb moment last week?

(Terrible problem to have, this, isn't it )

Yes, I think that counts, big time! There is no such thing as coincidence and I believe this extra income is not coincidence.

If you don't believe in coincidence then you don't understand the definition of the word. What you mean to say is you don't believe that two meaningful events coinciding is insignificant. You believe that the excess money is significant... it happened for a reason. That's fine. Maybe you are right that this one instance is not coincidence but that doesn't negate all coincidenses.

A coincidental event is the fact that I have 37 pennies in my coin jar and I also have 37 socks in my sock drawer. Related but completely insignificant.

Here's another non-money one.

I am waiting for some news about a dear friend who is out of contact at the moment. Last night I'm saying - come on God/Universe/Source/Strange Attractor/Giant External Observer Collapsing Wavefunctions (GUSSAGEOCW - I think I shall start calling it GUS for short) - I need a clear and distinct sign that I can make no mistake about.
Well today, on tv, there is an interview with someone with the exact same very rare surname from the very same part of the world the person is in (its not my friend but... )!!!!
Coincidence? LOA? Alpha Reflections? You decide.

Do you think this counts?

Yes, absolutely.. had a similar experience a few weeks back.. a check owed to me arrived out of the blue

What are your thoughts?

the key is if still removing this belief.. to make sure to not validate anymore in your reality.. it's more than possible to say this belief doesn't serve me and it's gone.. but some people setup re-tests with their beliefs

Does it show I have 'unblocked' something, or is it all just a coincidence that it all kicked off from the very day after I had the lightbulb moment last week?

If you learn LOA correctly.. you will learn there is no such thing as coincidence period..

[CoolBee]

well I just manifested some MORE totally unexpected money (partial refund against the insurance for the above sold asset - really was NOT expecting it as its near the end of the policy!!) apparently I get a month back 9about $50 !!)

I say again...

If you don't believe in coincidence then you don't understand the definition of the word...

Aha - but why 37? Does this number have special significance?

Just teasing.

For me, the number of "coincidences" I'm getting in relation to specific 'intentions' is dramatically increasing lately.

Now, I am prepared to accept that this IS purely and simply coincidence and I am purely and simply in a more 'noticing' frame of mind. BUT ultimately, it doesn't matter whether it is pure coincidence or me noticing or whatever if it gets me along the way to where I want to be - even if, as in the case of my 'out of contact friend' mentioned above - it just gives me a restful night's sleep because worrying is not going to achieve anything.

I am prepared to consider that there IS something real going on here - what I might term 'unexplained physics' and I make no attempt to offer a mechanism right now. I am of course in the luxurious position of not being tied to an academic institution and am not therefore in fear of rolling grant programme renewals for being able to even give headspace to this stuff.

Eventually, I imagine there will be sufficient anecdotal evidence 'if I do this, then that happens' to allow people to start setting up controlled experiments. Whenever I say that to a Wiccan friend of mine he gets upset because he would prefer to believe in magic than physics even if the result is the same.

Yeah, I'm willing to accept that there is often more going on than randomness. But it tans my hide when someone changes the definition of the word coincidence to bring meaning to significant events. The event doesn't need you to add meaning. It already has it.

Coincidence means that the event is insignificant.

[CoolBee]

I see what you are saying.

I think though, while you have focused on the definition of the word coincidence - and the other guys giving weight to insignificant random events, the other guys are focusing more on that they don't believe there IS such a thing as an insignificant event (in the LOA context anyway). That, to me, is a matter of their personal belief systems which is a different thing.

Ultimately, though, these things could all be random. The thing that is making me take a little more notice is that I issue the intention, the random things start happening, the thing manifests.

If I issued the intention, the thing manifested, and then I was looking backward and saying 'aha that random thing was actually significant after all' that would be no good.
That's why I think its important to start making notes diary-style as it unfolds so we can start tracking this stuff.

Exactly. In another thread I mentioned that when you say that you don't believe in coincidence don't you really mean that you don't believe in insignificance.

Not a bad idea.

You can track all you want.. it will just grow and grow and grow.. good luck

One thing that limited smart alx doesn't know or believe is that within 50 years are scientists should have all this stuff figured out.. it will move beyond the idea that "energy can't be destroyed it only changes forms"

To we are all made of that same energy/particle etc

That would seem like a win, win situation for both of you. I can even imagine that he might be happy he was mistaken on this particular issue.

I hope to be around to see how the two of you react at that time.
