How many of you have manifested financially NOT through hard work?

[cantankerous]

A lot of people seem to want to use manifestation/LoA to get wealthy, as in financially wealthy. This question is not about feeling abundant in yourself or feeling abundantly happy, it is merely about that base desire for monetary wealth.

I am just wondering how many people who consider that they have successfully used manifestation/LoA have achieved wealth, that is unexpected wealth or surprise amounts of money coming to them without getting it through the traditional route of work? I know that a lot of people who use LoA will say that hard work is a part of LoA but in this instance I am just asking for examples from people who manifested large sums without having to do any work, so through things like the lottery, betting, finding money in the street, having money unexpectedly come their way - what many laymen would call "luck" rather than LoA.

If so, what book or method do you credit with getting the right mindset for LoA/manifestation to work for you?

PS. Please do not answer if money has not come you way, even if you feel the universe has provided you with "abundance" (I hate that word) in any other way or if you have become a millionaire through hard work alone.

[newkaren]

Large sums of money? No, but I have managed to manifest small sums of money.. I'd guess about $200 total over the course of a few months.

[moonrambler]

I don't think your "please don't answer" is going to work

If LoA works as claimed, people don't have to even have heard of it for it to work.

How about becoming rich by investing relatively small amounts of money? Would you consider that possibly LoA?

[jota]

I dont think thst peoples here believe it , with exception ALG and Nicbrams(but nobody believe in her)...this is something that you will have to make for yourself.

[iDreamCatcher]

People trying to use LOA like bandaid to patch holes in their budget. This is coming from exactly opposite direction.

Here's LOA + financial abundance crash course in one sentence:
Feel emotional result of your wealth in the present moment up to the point when more or less money in your life no longer relevant.

Emotional feelings of result of wealth (security, peace, happy) are driving force.
Irrelevancy of your initial desire is releasing brakes (letting go).
Either one of these is not enough - both must be present.

People doing #1 and wondering where's ma money?
Right way:
Do #1 and make it feel so good for you, that subject of money becomes kinda boring.

I believe I have manifested around 1400 euro this year, if we're talking about "unexpected" cash only.
I also agree with what iDreamCatcher wrote.

Don't say nonsense like this. People want money so they can enjoy the exciting freedom that it makes possible. The freedom to simply decide "I want to go to Disney World" and being able to just do it. The freedom to look at something cool and just get it. The freedom to think of a plan and just implement it.

You cannot achieve this exciting freedom "in your head". You can pump yourself up but when your impulses find no outlet in the external world, it is impossible to sustain the feeling of freedom because your experience keeps contradicting it and it magnifies the feeling of impotence.

The subject of money IS boring. That's why people with it, the happy ones at least, are always working hard to get rid of it. Nobody cares about money. They care about the power money provides to make intentions actually, trully, quickly manifest. You want a new car? If you have money, there is no need to sit in your sofa and imagine it, let go, visualize, feel the car is yours, let go, let go, let go, realize you still don't have the car, feel guilty you didn't let go, let go again.. you can go to the dealership and sit in the actual cars, pick one you like from first hand experience and then just drive off with it.

Actually I get this totally because this has been my mindset lately. I am fed up of working my ass off for little pay and the stress and energy it takes to produce the kind of lifestyle which is the minimum I want. I am playfully, utilizing the law of attraction to manifest money from different sources.

A few years ago I had in my mind a huge sum of money which I wanted to manifest but had no idea how to do it. Through an interesting set of circumstances it came to my mind to sell my house. It turned out that I made the exact amount of money and I recall, again, playfully requesting another ten thousand and and it arrived and I got the exact amount of money from the house. I spent all the money but then, I concentrated my mind on other things. Which I suppose is another lesson to learn.


Recently, I decided that I needed another great big chunk of money as I had got into debt and could not see a way through it. I had no idea whatsoever as to how it was going to happen. I had no job, no extra income but what I did have was a belief that if I got the money I would respect money and start afresh. I also, knew that I had to be open to any way it could come and I had belief, I can remember detaching and just allowing the universe to sort it and got on with other things. Very quickly I was advised to go for a debt relief order which effectively wiped out all my debts. If I had of been working I am pretty sure I would not have thought I could do this and hence, would have taken my debts with me. I am also very very grateful for the assistance and I have done a deal with money that I will respect it more. I do visualisations and everytime I see any money or I get a bargain I acknowledge it and respect it which is why I am pretty much amazed that I have managed to keep going with very little money coming in from the conventional roots.

We are programmed to ONLY think money can come through work, infact hard work. I am in the process of smashing that belief and I can see within my own life that my parents had this narrow view and for this reason only accrued money this way.

[Zenn]

When I needed money badly and intended for it, many totally unexpected amounts showed up, including a replacement check from the government that I didn't even know I should have the original, finding a year old check a day before expiracy which I had absolutely no reason not to cash and had been cashing every month, unexpected bonus checks and pay deposits, etc. The most bizarre incident was getting up in the wee hour to find over $200 in a drawer. Over a year ago, I decided to intend increasing amounts to come to me, starting with $100 and ten times there after. I'm currently waiting for the $1M, having manifested over $100K.

[gbsc]

I have manifested money on many ocassions by being grateful and not worrying about it... it seems to come at the right times i have even set deadlines and it came by the deadline ... the amounts are usually anywhere from 100.00 to 2000.00 i always show gratitude!

[TheColonel]

This is interesting to me. I joined this forum about 5 years ago, and I had been doing Loa excercies for about 3-4 years before that with mixed results. My original intro to loa was The Science of getting Rich.

I set some pretty vivid intentions a while back on money and career, it took what felt like forever to see real manifestations. But when they came, it was ultra clear - there's no way the circumstances that played out were a coincidence.

You asked if I've manifested wealth without hard work. It depends on how you define hard work. I didn't exactly intend 'wealth without work,' mine was 'wealth doing something I loved & was good at.'

And I can say financial rewards have clearly arrived for doing something that feels like play-time. For the first time in my life, I love what I do, and I do it 7 days a week when I can - morning, noon & night. And while the money and success keep getting bigger & bigger, I'm starting to see that path emerge that could lead to buying a small island and drinking coconut milk all year.

Work? Perspective. My theory is that wealth is a result of overdelivering & controlling focus. You might look at my long hours and say "work." I look at them and think "love"

Have fun figuring out what works for you compadre, everyone's got a slightly different puzzle to solve

Thanks for the replies so far, especially the ones that answered my specific question.

I don't agree with you IDreamCatcher at all, sorry. Either the LoA is real, works like other laws such as the law of gravity, law of thermodynamics etc in terms of cause and effect, regardless of morality or it doesn't work. Feeling rich is not hte same as being rich and I can sit on my sofa any day and imagine what it is like to feel rich but this is absolutely not the same as the real thing, anymore that imagining that I can float up to the moon does not mean that I have achieved mastery of the law of gravity.

And yes, money is boring. Most people want it because it sets you free. Yes, imagination and dreaming is fun but since we spend 2/3rds of our life in this version of reality, it is here in the mundane world that things like money help us to realise our dreams and money, unfortunately at this time is the means to an end.

Thanks, Jota, The Colonel, gbsc, Zenn, positive power, lycan, salem86 and New Karen for giving me examples.

Moonrambler - interesting answer. Will have to think about that.

The only thing keeping us from what we want is our own resistance.
I been through this process, studying, improving, summarizing and polishing it for the last 15 years. Way before it was called LOA.
Philosophies and chatter doesn't help. You have to practice and live it. And live emotionally, on a level of feelings first. It's hard work - but only initially, just because we so haven't used to it. Determination and focusing in the right direction makes wonders - and pretty fast.

Sorry, I don't understand what this means. What have you achieved through LoA? Have you received money not through the traditional means (i.e. a job)? If so please give me an example.

Made $100k (~750%+ return on investment) on a stock market within 2 weeks. Pure LOA, meditation, visualization and very clear intuitive guidance. I guess I should of stick with original thread subject to avoid confusion...

[lycan]

Back when I didn't think in LoA terms, at all, I was able to attract close to a million dollars to me with nearly zero effort. I wasn't "doing something I love", I was literaly doing almost nothing as far as earning the money was concerned. I did have to position myself properly (which involved a leap of faith) and it didn't happen instantly (it took a few years). I also managed to repel it and now I'm broke and in debt. My emotions were the classic manic-depressive mix of euphoric optimism and hopeless pessimism so maybe I should take that as clear evidence that LoA works at least in the field of money. Or I could take a clear look at what I actually did to see exactly why I attracted and then lost the money and from that perspective, I'm not sure if the "positive" emotions did me more good than bad.

I want to belive in the LoA but it always seems like an after the fact rationalization. Sure, sometimes there are coincidences that seem kind of weird, like TV shows suddenly dealing with topics I'm thinking about. But I don't know, I'm still testing it. I don't really have any other alternative as far as I see it.

That is exactly the validation and verification of LOA. So much of what we attract into our lives is manifested unconscious intentions and emotions that we forget. The seeds are forgetton but, without resistence since they are forgetten/released, they grow into fruition. When people talk about LOA or its invalidity/failure they often mean their learned and applied "techniques" which often fail them because the real LOA is at work to bring to them what really feel and focus on, in spite of what they consciously force themselve to pretend to feel and focus on.

An after the fact realization reminds you of your original seeding/desire of the resulting manifestation. I use such realization to boost my faith and confidence in practicing conscious intending.

[positive power]

Zenn,

Thankyou for elucidating this point. Yes, I am beginning to see this, that our unconscious desires with no resistence are at the forefront in energy terms and intention terms and they will manifest. So, how do we keep in tune with our unconscious mind and keep it on track or, work with it??? In other words how do we keep manifesting good stuff continually?

[ButterflyWoman]

First, try to see beyond the labels and contexts that determine "good" and "bad" and "positive" and "negative" and so forth. Aside from seeing "good" (or at least "acceptable") in all things, which is a helpful attitude for a lot of obvious reasons, when you remove the context, you remove much or all of the resistance, as well.

Secondly, intend to change your subconscious beliefs. This is difficult to do from an ego perspective, because it would be like a drawing of a person picking up a pencil and erasing part of themself, and redrawing it. Change, including profound change, does happen all the time. Intention is very powerful if it's sincere, because it creates a window of allowing, so to speak.

Not sure how clear that is. I seem to be having trouble putting it into words today.

Rationalization, not realization. By this I mean, something happens and you then look back at your thoughts and emotions and find something that matches it and ignore the things that contradict it. You have a million random thoughts during the day and then you start to notice how some events match a couple of those thoughts. If you can't find a match between your internal state and the external experience you rationalize that the problem lies on a subconscious level.

The real test of LoA is in people who are single-minded, obsessed with something specific, especially if it is outside their direct reach. Not with people who have so many thoughts and intentions that they forget about that some are bound to happen out of pure coincidence, especially when they are broad and general. The real test of ANY idea is in its power to predict the future, not its power to explain the past.

You are rationalizing away, aka denying, realization. Realization comes to people. When people realize something, they do at the moment it comes to them. It is not a result of sorting out the random thoughts to find the answer. They realize the manifestation of earlier disires without resistence, but not those they doubted and have international debates over. When people rationalize, they know it too. Rationalization is deliberate while realization is spontaneous, even when it's a result of a process.

Not with people who have so many thoughts and intentions that they forget about that some are bound to happen out of pure coincidence, especially when they are broad and general. The real test of ANY idea is in its power to predict the future, not its power to explain the past.

How can prediction about the future be tested? When it comes to pass, it's no more the future. It's then explained by the past, i.e when an idea is seeded. Your rationalization here will never test intentional manifestation, which is about faith - you believe the future is now, so you already have what you desire. It's hard to test for a skeptic because the intention of testing itself will keep the skeptic attached, unless the skeptic actually forgets about it. Then it becomes realization after the fact which you dismiss. Only the true believer of LOA can test it because they can actually believe and let go.

I needed a big chunk of money this year to have surgery done because I don't have insurance. A bunch of people chipped in and just gave me money, and a couple of people gave me interest free loans, and I had my surgery a week ago.

A bunch of those people are here on the forums -- thank you so much, you incredibly generous souls, for helping me stay alive and vital! I am so grateful that it moves me to tears every time I think about it, including right now.

There was no hard work involved. In fact, it was only when I let go of struggle that the last big chunk came in all at once, out of what felt like thin air.

What's your trouble with the word "abundance"? I love that word. It's like "voluptuous." Rich, and chocolatey and round and full. I love it. I welcome it.

[fasieioana]

Can you help me to manifest so money. Give me some advice. I try from september to manifest $2000 and nothing happened. I don't know what to do anymore. Now I feel desperate because I have until tuesday to pay my bills. I thought that 2 months will be enough to manifest the money. I badly want the money or else I could not see having a Christmas.

[JasonC]

I've had the experience of receiving thousands of dollars. Back in August, I received a bit under $10,000 which enabled me to get out of debt, pay all my bills and buy a ticket to return home (I was living abroad).

A few weeks ago I got a gig that paid me $400 more than I was supposed to be paid. I also received $120 in gift certificates.

I share this because it IS possible to have such things happen without having to work hard. I never worked hard for that huge money manifestation.

The key for me was to create a mental shift in consciousness. And I never used visualization (I never really had success with it).

I did it primarily through using affirmations (that I believed in), letting go of the outcome and avoiding all negativie talk about money, including my own words.

Every time you hear or say negative things about money, it will cause you to further strengthen the negativity!

So, it's critical that you interrupt the thought. For example, your may feel tempted to say, "I can't afford this" or "I'm doomed!". That will keep you locked in a poverty mindset! So, interrupt it with a word or phrase like, "I choose to find a way" or say, "prosperity" (and repeat this as often as you remember). By consciously interrupting it, you are forcing your attention on what you want, not what you don't want.

So every time you express something negative, you're getting more of it! When you express something positive, you're getting more of it because that is what your mind is focusing on.

Therefore, it's critical that you retrain your brain to focus on what you want, not what you don't want. It will take some discipline in the beginning, but over time your brain will get in, and you will feel lighter about your money situation.

[Debo]

I agree with Jason, you have to change your mindset and interrupt the negative chatter in your mind, takes focus and persistence but very achievable. I have side tracked from trying to manifest to trying to live freely within myself, shifting my consciousness to find the truth. I'm still working on this all the time.
