I manifested £40,000 but got £40

[Tuumble]

I'm wondering if this counts intention manifestation.

Earlier today I had the sum of £40,000 come into my head. It represents a salary that would be a significant (but not impossible) jump to what I'm earning now. Later I spotted a lottery scratch card where the top prize is £40,000 a year for life.

Now, I don't normally do gambling of any sort but I did wonder whether thinking the number was significant so I bought one and won!

...£5.

As that was my original stake I later decided to buy another and on the way to the store I repeated "Forty thousand, forty thousand, forty thousand..." again and again. I imagined scratching the panel and seeing the winning symbol appearing in a certain position on the card.

...so to the store...

I bought the scratch card and I won again - this time it was £10! Hurrah!!

...then I won another £10!

...then another tenner!

...and then yet another!

Forty pounds all on the same scratch card. Not a big sum I know but I've never known to get two wins on the same card let alone four.

Is the 40 significant? Should I continue with the £40,000 mindset or did I just get lucky?

[escapeplan]

Is £40 on the same vibrational frequency as £40,000?

Er, I don't know but it definitely cheered me up and got me thinking. You gotta start somewhere.

Usually starts slowly then increases once you get accustomed to it. You may not have believed in the larger amount but you did believe enough that money would come, so it came to you in the amount that was believable. Now that you've received it and are enjoying it, you might believe even more can come to you. That's how you get to your original figure.

You might want to read some of Steve's articles about "Alpha Reflections" in the intention manifestation category of his blog.

Thanks cylon - I shall look into it.

Tuumble my friend I think thats excellent.

I always win on scratch cards too, good ain't it?

I always stand in front of the scratchcard dispenser and ask which one is a winner and I always find I am drawn to a particular one, and it is always a winner.

I always have a winning one to collect on, got one in my car now for £7.

Keep it up my friend I wouldn't be surprised if you get you £40k

Peace

I wouldn't be surprised either!

Do you know I was really fed up earlier because I felt I was being looked at as some kind of numbskull but I'm so much happier now. Must be something about this place - I haven't been here for a while but I already feel more positive. Yay!

Lol, I just realised you are in peterborough, yesterday Peterborough popped into my head, guess I know why now.

I hope you feel as wonderful as I feel right now.

That's quite a gift you have there - that canny knack of bringing a smile to someone's face with no effort whatsoever.

It could be that someone else had already got the 40,000. The universe got the next closest thing to 40,000. Which in this case was 40.


I assure you though there are much easier ways to make that much rather than buy lottery tickets.

[Tasha]

If I were you, I would take this as an alpha reflection. Don't let the disparity between your desired amount and the amount you received cause you to start doubting. If you're new to I-M especially, there is likely to be a significant time lapse (weeks or even months) between the alpha reflection and the manifestation (the beta reflection).

Good job so far! Keep feeling good and more will come!

Couple of odd little stories yesterday. I had in my mind ten crisp £10 notes in my wallet and the figure of £100 bouncing around my head. I wasn't sure where this would come from but it felt quite strong.

As I said before I'm not a betting man though I did see an advert in a betting shop window that caught my eye. It said you could win £110 from a £10 stake on Chelsea winning a football match 4-0 and I was tempted for a while. What stopped me doing it was that while I'd win £100 I would end up with £110 in my wallet because I'd get my original money back as well. It's a good job I didn't go for it because despite leading 4-0 at one point, Chelsea's opponents MSK Zilina got one back in the second half.

Another instance was a little more spooky but no more profitable.

To recap I had this £100 in my wallet image in my head so I thought I'd take a punt at another lottery scratch card. This particular game required the purchaser to match two symbols and you won the amount below one of them. My 'winning' symbol was '£' but I unfortunatley didn't get one of those in the game. What I did get was a wallet symbol and the amount of...you've guessed it, £100.



So near yet so far...

I love that, thats so cool. I won a twenty a while back and yesterday £10. I am working on the £250k prize.

Think about £200 in your wallet and see what happens.

Peace.

Here in Italy we have a lotto game called "Superenalotto" . You can play it online if you want to. Just google "Italian Superenalotto".....
Minimum cost for playing is EUR 1.00. For EUR 1.00 you get a game card with 2 columns and on each column you have to mark 6 numbers 1-90 which is very difficult when it comes to odds... You can also play more complex systems which may cost a lot of money and you can purchase quotas of systems to be shared among all the other quota holders in case of winning... It' s been for the last 2-3 years or longer the highest paying lotto game in the World.....
There's NO taxes to be taken away from the win. You get the whole sum. It's played 3 times a week and of course each time there's no winners the jackpot increases.
Tonight the jackpot reached EUR 140,000,000 (140M) which is the equivalent of $182,791,500.
I usually always play the same numbers........Never won ....Yet.........

thats silly there are many $40,000 in the world. for many people to get. I think your manifestation energy is very fast for some reason and since it couldnt bring you the $40,000 at that time it brought you $40.00. I think you have something special there, let me know when you win the lottery.

[Tuumble]

The lottery was simply something I tried because I got a feeling about it.

Gambling is certainly not a habit I want to get into but when certain thoughts present themselves and they appear to be linked in someway I don't think it hurts to act on that instinct.

It's down to your personal philosophy if you want to view this as LoA in action, or whatever.

From experience however as a former massive gambling addict, UK Lottery scratchcards, when they pay out more than the original stake, tend to pay several prizes on a single card. I have won £40 many times, and it's always been split up into tenners. It's a prize they like to give, for some reason.

By the way, UK Lottery scratchcards are SHI.T. The odds and prizes are far too low; I think this is because the Lottery gives too much of its prize fund to charity and I suspect there is also a lot of bureaucratic bloat at whichever company runs the Lottery.

Anyway I've tried what you're doing now from a manifestation perspective with scratchcards in this exact same way. I got £200 on one of the £5 cards. But then I spent much more trying to get my "big" manifestation (which was also in the tens of thousands as I recall).

Since UK Lottery is ♥♥♥♥♥, don't play it at all is my advice.

[Tuumble]

This thread is turning into my own IM and LoA thread so I'll continue with it despite the title not being so relevant now.

OK, today I was at an Internet event at the Park Lane Hotel in London. There were 200 delegates and we were told that by virtue of filling in the feedback form we would be entered into a draw for an iPad which made the odds pretty good for what was in fact very little work.

I imagined holding the box, the crisp edges, the shrink wrap film covering it and again it was very real in my mind. When the draw was eventually made it was won by the guy next me, a former colleague who already had an iPad!

I got to hold the box so those feelings I had earlier did in fact manifest even though the iPad wasn't mine. The only way that could've happened is if I'd won myself or if he had - there was no other reason for me to hold the box with anyone else in the room.

Next time I will make sure I imagine the box unwrapped!

[cylon]

His belief in having an iPad must have been pretty strong since he already had one.

It's like the lady that keeps winning the huge lottery out here in the U.S. She's won I think three times. Winning the lottery to her, by now, is probably not a big deal. Just like if you already have an iPad, getting another one, is probably not a big deal.

I believe this video on synchronicity is relevant to this discussion.

Check it out: YouTube - Nassim Haramein on synchronicity

You may not receive exactly what you intend but a muddled up version which is similar. Try not to take it personal! The Universe is neutral after all.

Most people do not how to manage 40, 000. If it came to them, they wouldn't know what to do with it.

Substitute money for knowledge and you get Buddhism

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

I've seen the most calm people get into a car and have the worst road rage.

Think about it, if you're rich (have abundance), you're never in a hurry. Therefore, road rage is a good thing to look at to see if you're ready for bigger responsibility (more beautiful wife, more money, etc.,)

I like this alot!
For a long time now, I've had a little theory that says, watch how someone drives their car, how they manouver through traffic, the level of angst they experience or don't experience when obstacles come up in their path and the level of patience or irritation they display when traffic slows unexpectedly and you'll have a pretty good idea of the way the person moves though life in general.

Regarding the OP.....It absolutely looks like you are indeed getting little mini-manifestations that are showing you you're on the right track! The more you get into the mode where you see these things as proof, the more you will experience the synchronistic manifestations...and then in no time at all...low and behold...your manifestation in it's entirety will appear!

Keep us posted!

You've hit on a real important point here!..and done so in a way that triggered a light bulb for me.

My biggest manifestation lately has been a publishing deal for my book. I'd spent 3 yrs. shopping it to publishers and had received over 20 rejections. I truly did think I had strong belief that it would be published. As the rejections piled up I began to have niggling questions re: the quality of the book. I finally heard back from a publisher who had requested a 2nd read, only to be told that she could not publish it due to her limited budget. However, she did tell me that the book was really very good and she knew 'someone' would end up publishing it. Her words gave me a sense of buoyancy that I hadn't realized I had actually needed. my hope and my belief were completely renewed.

Well.....it was 3 days after that that I stumbled upon the publisher who mere weeks later agreed to publish it. You've made me see that the extra bit of belief I was given through the woman publisher's praise put me at the belief level necessary to manifest my desire. Sometimes it seems we just need a little 'kick over the edge' in terms of our belief in our desire's possibility before it will come to fruition.

I think along with this, I also was able to renew the strength of my original desire....one more rejection caused me to want the publishing deal even more.....great desire combined with strong belief IS undoubtedly powerful stuff!

[cylon]

That's a great story. And it's like you got a sign that it was going to happen, kind of like an alpha reflection. Very cool.

oh wow...you're totally right! Now that you mention it, I had many signs leading up to that point...and there I was feeling kind of frustrated that I was getting soooo close, but not quite getting there....when all along I WAS getting there.... incrementally.

Hahahahaha I had the same insight about traffic about a month ago. I would get in the middle lane (of six) on I95 and just come up with answers about anything in life by observing the traffic.

[Tuumble]

Generally speaking I am a very quiet person who wouldn't say boo to a goose. It's one of the reasons I believe my career has stalled because on two occasions I've been passed over for promotion by people younger than me with technically less experience.

Sometimes, however, I can really lose my temper especially if the children misbehave and yet these are the people I care more about than anyone else in the world. I really don't like myself in those moments but I find it strange that I can react that way then when I might not stand my ground in the office.

I'm not saying shouting will get me a promotion but I do wonder if the 'power' of being being a parent causes me to react that way. I'm sorry, I'm rambling...basically I can get angry with my kids when I might bite my lip with the wife and the boss who I can assure you are different people (I think).

Back to the car thing - I don't do road rage because I can't drive for medical reasons but I do occasionally have to calm my wife who can get quite agitated at times. I always look to avoid conflict which is sometimes inevitable if you want to get to a better place.
