Default Manifesting winning the lottery just by willing it

I am interested in manifesting winning the lottery. I have been reading much on the subject and i am convinced that i will. Just by willing it and doing nothing except buying tickets. I am interested in how long this will take. I already believe i have won. I have prepared myself by thinking it through down to every detail. Seeing myself winning, seeing the money in my bank account, planning out the financial team, even deciding where to spread my wealth. I have intended this desire with so much emotion, I weep when I feel the intensity of my desire already happened. So, how long until I win??? I expect every time the lottery is drawn that I am already the winner. In the realm of all possibilites, I have already won. In the physical I have yet to see it happen. I am very interested in how long manifestation takes. Any takers?

The true winner is the one who stops desiring things.

No.
If your body did that....... you'd starve to death.

Same thing with your 'Zest for life'.

If you stop desiring experiences, you shrivel up.

I hate to spoil the party, but you will not increase your changes with intension/manifestation hype where pure mathemathical laws apply.

Note, that I do believe in intention/manifestation.

However IMHO my belief is, that we cannot intent to win the lottery. Ok, we can intent, but our chances will stay the same. 1 per paid combination/whole combinations. Even if I am the only one, who bought ticket for lottery my chances of winning it will not increase even if I am intending to win the lottery whole week. This is unproductive, irrational, harmful way of looking at intention/manifestation. You could spend thousand of € that way. Rather invest that money.

Bole yo ucontradict yourself. You say that you believe in LoA then you say it doesn't work. Is something getting lost in translation here?

Not really.

I believe that LoA works to some degree. But I sure can exclude irrational use of LoA like intenting to win lottery. Which ain't gonna happen because of LoA. IMHO.

It is like subjective reality. You can fully believe in it. You can partially believe in it. Or not believe in it. It is a scale, .... 0 - 100 if you want. I sure am not on a 100 bandwagon on either.

I'm interested in this manifestation experiment too. As I understand it, we must leave behind the questions of "how long" or "why isn't it here yet" in order to keep clear our resistance to receiving. (Basically, those types of questions focus attention on the lack of something, which will thereby manifest more of that lack.)

I know that when I have manifested things I have intended, it always happened when I was was either thinking about that thing, or not thinking of the lack of that thing.

Continue focusing upon the having of your desire. The fact that you are taking yourself to the feeling place of it already happening, is a really good thing, and I think you are on the right track. I'll be very interested to see how it comes out.

There's a discrepancy in that statement.

For example, 'A' can be created/manifested, but not 'B'.

Now, if 'A' can be created/manifested why not 'B'?

Bole - I agree with you... LoA does work but teaching LoA in a fundamentalists way does more arm than good... Literally million of people are manifesting winning the lottery... and it never worked before... why should it start working now...???

And if anyone does not believer that last statement... tell me how come that if someone could manifest winning the lottery that same person could not do it constantly...???

I agree with Bole. Intention is law, just like mathematics, just like so many other laws being enforced in this world. You can't overrun the rest of them just because you want something, or because you think IM will work now that you are aware of it. It's too complex to simplify to one law.

What is with this whole "winning the lottery" theme that we see here in millions of threads?

Why don't you spend your time manifesting something useful?

Here's a couple of things for you OneSpirit.

1). Why do you desire so much money...(I am pretty sure your reasons are honourable and good here)?
2). If you got it, would you not live fear of ever losing it again? (I know of 2 millionaire and they have both said to me, the one thing they fear most would be losing their wealth. If you were living in fear of losing it, would that be as powerful as you desiring the money in the first place, then you may attract loss).
3). Is it happiness or money you desire most?
4). Are you happy just now?

Since you hope you win it, I hope you win it too.

G

Gravity = natural phenomenon, law, without exceptions.
LoA = A Concept designed to help us better understand the nature of reality.

Big time difference.

Like I said above LoA like I see it is nothing more than a concept. It is not a law like gravity, but rather tool to help us.

The only way, where "universe can help you win the lottery" is that you will be "guided by third force" to put down correct numbers. And I am not buying that.

Do not take that concept so literary, ... if I intent to double my net worth in the next year I will likely take appropriate action and LoA will work. But if I wash the money down the toilet and hope that my numbers will pop up on the lottery only because of the LoA, ... khm

I tried to manifest that, too. But later on, thinking about it, I realized I would never win, at least not by the subjective-reality hypothesis. I really didn't want to.

You may think that's stupid, but after giving it much thought, I arrived to that conclusion. I didn't want to win the lottery. In fact, I didn't want that much money. I was just scared of lacking money, that's why I played. But in fact, I didn't want to tell the world "I got rich by winning a lottery". I realized that I'd much rather tell the world "I can live off my ideas". Which is difficult, and I haven't managed to do it yet... But, however, when I realized that I really didn't want to win the lottery, but earn the money on my own, I stopped playing. If my subconscious is boycotting me, I will never win. So I quitted. I'm telling you this because, you see, we are supposed to have a purpose in life. If getting money isn't related to that, but you want it only because you are afraid of not having it, it may not work. You must make sure you want it before you ask it, added unwanted consequences included. Or your own mind will betray you and stop you.

So having money is "not useful" ?
