Hey Betrade, nice work with the new car!! Just goes to show you don't need to know the "how" of your intention, just the "what" - you wanted a free car and it showed up, you didn't have to figure out how it was going to happen. Great stuff I'm apparently very good at manifesting free cars too - I've only been driving a couple of years, and the first car I got my dad bought for me (without me asking him or even thinking too much about getting a car in the first place!), and recently my cousin acquired my grandma's car for free, so I'm getting my cousin's old car (which is still nicer than the one I'm driving now). The funny thing is I didn't even intend these two cars, they just appeared in my life.

I just thought I'd comment on your situation with your ex wife. All the Intention-Manifestation stuff I've read suggests that you could be dealing with the problem in a more effective way. Ever hear the phrase "what you resist, persists"? I humbly suggest that rather then trying to manifest your ex-wife a job, you simply focus on manifesting abundance for yourself, or focus on providing for yourself and your family with ease and with cash left over, or something like that. Focus on bring coolness to yourself rather than trying to fix up what you perceive to be a problem with the way others are running their lives. Your newfound abundance could come in many different ways - who knows, after you get a fat tax return, a raise at work and win the lottery your ex-wife might just happen to get a job too

As for my own manifestations, I've recently got some female attention after deciding that this was the year I was going to get some female attention Is nice! I also acquired my sister's nice huge LCD monitor for free after deciding I'd like one to replace my old CRT (without paying for it, naturally ). Next step is a state of the art CPU/Mother board/Graphics card combination for my computer (free, of course), finish off these songs I've started writing, and employment that pays well, is totally awesomely joyful to partake in and is convenient to get to, preferably on public transport! Good times.

Default medicaid debt recovery, and more

Have been going through a time, with the family probating Dads will. They are all up in a tizzy about an $11,000. debt owed to meicaid for Dads care the last 6 months of his life. They kept telling me that the state is going to swoop in and take the ranch to for the debt owed.

I finally took steps to contact the medicaid estate recovery program, and spoke with the supervisor, asking just how the program works, and how they go about collecting on this debt.

She informed me that the state has no legal right to seaze property. They just file a claim against Dads estate, just as any creditor does, and in settleing the estate we have plenty of time to sell whatever might be sold to pay this debt off.

Although they have no payment plan, they do accept partial payments. So if we sell an item that pays 1/2 the debt, we can still have plenty of time to arrange to get the money to pay the rest, as things sell.

Also, I manifested the biggest goat roundup ever. It was also the easiest ever. We simply rattled a can of corn, and the goats, 108 of them, simply followed me into the pens, and hubby closed the gates behind us, then we opened the stock trailer, and they all filed in. WOW!!! It was amaing!
THANK YOU, UNIVERSE!!!

All in all the trip was worth just under $18,000! I have since been to Japan and had some unbelievable spiritual experiences there but that is a story for another day...

Have you had any 'luck' like this with your own intention-manifestation endeavors?
I loved reading your story, we have as a family been using the law of attraction and really read some stuff on it.My friend sent me a free report on how this stuff works. I have included it if you want read it, amazing how it works.The guy on it is from the DVD the Secret.

Talking a perfect work table

Hello friends! -- A couple of days ago I was thinking about what I would need to work on projects even while indulging in some tv. Lo and behold, today on the way to my car sitting on the sidewalk there was a perfect work table for my space. (There is always some interesting furniture sitting out in my neighborhood.) It was the right size, right height, right table. I walked past it before I realized that this was exactly what I needed. Then I turned around and loaded it into the car. I am definitely taking this a positive sign.

In a more frivolous vein: yesterday, I came to work wanting a scone and walked into my morning meeting where there were surprise scones, muffins, and coffee from our project manager. I've been working on "allowing" and I think I'm making some progress.

cheers!

Thumbs up I manifested the sale of my laptop

So a couple of weeks ago, I put my laptop for bidding on ebay. But on the last day, the final bidding value was less than 100 from the Buy it now value and it did not even hit the reserve price.

So last week I relisted it but 25 dollars less. But this time I set out an intention and visualized it. Wrote down exactly how much I wanted (which is the buy it now price). Yesterday was the last of bidding and with 25 minutes left the bidding price was still 95 dollars less than the price I had intented for and it was constant for the previous three days. I had this negative thought in my head that nobody is gonna buy it now. But I cancelled that out and reinforced my intention.

Can you believe it? In the last 20 minutes someone came in and brought it for the Buy it now price. He didnt even bother to bid......just came in and paid the buy it now price and I got exactly the amount I had intended for. I couldnt believe it. I looked up, smiled and thanked the universe

Default Two days off in a row!

I egt two days off, in a row. Today, my day 1 off, I was supposed to drive about 50 miles to sign some papers having to do with Dads will, but I made a phone call, and got the paticulars on this, and turns outm, I don't even need to show up, or sign anything. The executors can do it without me. As it was, the executors thought I needed to come in, in order for them to do this, but I called the lawyer, and asked him about the process, and turns out, I can just put my feet up, and surf the forums, as I have no place I gotta be, for the next two days. AWWWW. I feel the FREEDOM, and EASE, and I'm really appreciating it!

I like how Intention-Manifestation doesn't always manifest through syncronisty, or manifests through a combination. I mean, everything I got it is well within the laws of probability, but its wonderful to think (wishful thinking) that if I keep doing this, I'll get better results and start manifesting mroe stuff and get more unlikely. Anyhoo, I manifested three things today:

1. Somebody to take away the scrap metal from our backyard. I was walking home from the library and saw this guy taking some scrap metal and putting it into his truck and I asked him if he'd like to pick up some more metal from my back yard (you can turn it in for cash) and he's like sure.
2. A filing cabinet. I asked the same guy if he ever picks up any filing cabinets, and he's like, sure. He's gonna gimme a call if he picks up another one, he said probably today or tomorow. So I'm visualizing the perfect filing cabinet now.
3. This one I love the most: I manifested three months of unlimited calling and texting on my cell. I was supposed to have three months since the beginning of the contract, so I called and asked when that was ending so I don't end up running a huge bill and the lady told me that she couldn't find any record of that, she said that it prolly wasn't turned on when I signed up (it was, otherwise my bill woulda been HUGE). So she give me another three months starting on may 9th.

I love being me.

My 'big one' was my partner...One night I was really lonely and wrote a letter to the universe describing my perfect partner, The main line was " let him be an artist in whatever form"

Now I am in a loving relationship with a digital artist who matches my list...Although i meant writer/artist/musician : let him be an artist in whatever form" was interpreted as digital artist

Two recent 'little ones'

I did a shift of waitressing at a classy restraunt, they were bringing out plates of mussels and seafood and I reallly wanted mussels....

Without saying anything I got home and the next day my father had bought mussels for me

and then, I was in a video shop and looked on the back of dvds...it said easter egg...I couldnt get my head around why there was 'easter egg' written on a dvd...well several.....I unintetionaly placed my awareness on it for quite a while...

The next day lo and behold dad bought me an easter egg haha.....its funny how the universe interprets things

This is such a great reminder with perfect timing! This is definitely one of the things I believe about creation. And that really it's a matter of frequency/vibration. How am I (literally) resonating related to a specific desire?

This is a really wonderful thread! My path has taken me in some very interesting directions lately and this is a boost up supporting/affirming my intentions. The waking dream! Thanks to all of you who are sharing your I-M stories.

Default Little yellow legal tablets

I have a miniature clpibard (just my size) and had no tablets to fit it's size.
I thought of those big yellow legal pads, and thought, "I need something like that".
Went to work, the next morning, and saw a fellow employee, putting a big stack of these little yellow legal tablets into the clearance bin. All marked down to 30 cents a package of four, each.
Normally priced at $5.00 a package of 4.
I bought the whole stock for $3.30. Thank you, Universe!!!

Ive always been far too trusting in people and a bit too gullible. When i heard about the LOA i thought it would be a great way to rectify this. I asked the universe for what i needed most, critical thinking, I focussed on it for days and eventually it worked! now i question the intentions of people who offer what is too good to be true and im not sucked into new age bs like the secret anymore.

Thanks Universe

that's amazing!!

i just have a little story that's in the process of manifesting the big picture for me!!

i am a singer/songwriter who, up until very recently had awful stage fright and even more damaging perfectionistic attitudes that caused me to only wish i could get signed with no real belief in myself... then i went to dinner with a friend who told me about this life coach he had... so i decided to check out the idea of a life coach and found the perfect person to carry me to this next level of manifestation. I had already known how the LoA works (as did she-- as I came to find out) and with her help, started putting it into practice with visualizations, meditation, and a vision board. About 2 weeks later, I was feeling much more optimistic about my future (and life in general) and as soon as I told myself I was ready, I was asked to play a show. With all the courage I had, I said yes. I played the best show I had ever played up until that point.

After telling my life coach how great the show went, she asked "Okay, so what's next?"

To which I responded, "Well, I need to get a lot more shows under my belt because I plan on being signed by January."

The next day, the band I had opened for the weekend before called me and asked me to open for them that next month.

Word got around and another band asked me to play for them.

Eventually, I got more and more shows and was booked every month for the next 4 months.

Last week I played an arena, and next week I have two shows in three days.

Also last week, my producer ran into an old friend at a random airport who now is the manager for a multi-platinum solo recording artist...

And so it continues.... Without the effort of pushing and pushing, everything I have ever wanted is happening and I couldn't be more thrilled or thankful!

Talking Manifested great house-forgot to specify rent. Doh!

I moved to Port Townsend, WA 2 years ago. I knew every place for rent so I decided to "manifest" a place. This was before the Law of Attraction fad. We called it "Nevilling" because of Nevile's book "The Law and the Promise". So I imagined the following:

wood floors
vaulted ceilings
wood shakes on exterior
across the street from a playgound
trampoline for my son to use
just to be sure, a stained glass window as part of the architecture

The next day we ran across some new construction across from the community center playground. It was an architecture office with an apartment up top. Cork floors, vaulted ceilings, wood shakes, and stained glass window in the wall over the hallway. (You can see this place in some of our videos at Visualize Possibilities)

But no trampoline.

I discounted the Nevilling, but liked the apartment. When I met with the landlords they said that every summer they got out a trampoline that my son was welcome to use.

My face turned pale. I was shocked!

But the rent was way higher than Iw as expecting. I didn't care. I am still here two years later and don't feel terribly motivated to move though I prefer to own than to rent.

It's just too perfect!

i manifested my...new eyeglasses, without real focus, without emotion, without visualization or bla bla. i just needed new eyeglasses and i tought i would like to find something nice, good quality, good price and to look good on me. and i also needed a medical check up.

so i went in the first shop, found a nice frame but...doctor was not there. went to the second shop, found a frame, also...doctor not there.

after two days, still vacillating between the two frames, i went back to the first shop as it was closer to my home. doctor was there but the frame...was gone, they only had one.

i said i'll go to the second shop and even if the doctor is not there i'll make the glasses with the old prescription. but...doctor was there, so was the frame. but when i put it on was looking differently than the first time. they had two so i asked for the other. obviously they were same model but different size, this one was the good one. and poof! manifested my eyeglasses even if i was nervous and upset because things seemed to go wrong.

my intention now is that i manifest the best husband!!!

when i sit back and look out over my life I realize that i have in fact manifested a great idea of wonderful things. i can take a good clear look at everything and realize both good and bad experiences have been a direct result of what goes on in my head. keeping that in mind i keep those thoughts positive and full of abundance. it seems to be working.

I recently saw the law of attraction at work, albeit not in the way I wanted to. I asked my Grandmother to send me some of my summer clothes in the post as I had left them at her place last summer. I had no summer clothes with me where I live in France and was planning to go on a holiday to somewhere hot but asked her to send them well in advance so that they would arrive in time for my holiday.

I was going to ask her to send them insured because there were lots of clothes and among them were some summer skirts that I really like wearing, as they are beautifully made and gorgeous material too, but I didn't want to bother her with that, so she sent them and I spent a lot of time worrying about them not arriving and for some reason I had a funny feeling they would never get here. I also kept dreaming about it. I was worried about it because I knew I had no more money to buy new clothes. Surprise, surprise, they never arrived and it has been over two months (the post usually takes a week/ten days absolute max). And I've never had anything lost in the post before.

I bet I can probably get my clothes back if I start intending it. I think I will because I want them back!!!

I am a Chiropractor… and when I opened my first clinic… many decades ago… I had to borrow money to do it… I had a wife and a young son… and no other incomes or anyone that I could rely on for any length of time… but I was full of piss and vinegar… and ready to take on the world…

However, to my dismay, people did not line up at my door to get treated… four patient the first day… and it remained about that way for about six months… by then, I was getting desperate… something needed to be done…

I asked some advice from successful practitioners… and they all told me the same thing… I should take some seminars in Fort Worth Texas on positive thinking and the equivalent of what is called in this forum LoA… so, out of desperation, I did…

The rest is history… I built one of the most successful practice in Quebec, I had my own TV show for five years… I have given hundreds of lectures and have acted as a consultant… my son is a graduate of five Universities including Harvard… and best of all… I have now been married to a beautiful, intelligent and successful lady for 24 beautiful years…

LoA does work… I am a prime example…

Default manifested an Aunt and an Uncle

This is one of those things why you need to be careful what you wish for!!!! My step children have no family in this state. They had an Aunt and Uncle in Florida who adored them but they haven't seen them in almost a decade. Recently I have kind of wished they would move up this way so they could see the kids since we can never make it down there.

Well we got a call a few weeks ago from they saying they were tired of worrying about hurricanes and they were going to move up here.

I have heard my husband say there Aunt Karina was completely nuts!!! I always thought he just didn't like her. It turns out she really is crazy. she has split personality disorder and is one of the most annoying people I have ever met. Her husband Jeff is wonderful and is a lot like me but I would like to strangle her. I wonder how long it would take to manifest her butt back to Florida!!!!

Oh yeah here is another one. Its a sort of manifestation

My favorite place in the world is Eureka Springs Arkansas. I have always wanted to live there and someday I plan to. I found myself thinking if I were rich enough to buy what ever property I wanted in that area I would want it to be one one of the two lakes in the area, with bluffs, over 100 acres, a waterfall, a cave, big beautiful trees, maybe a mountain view somewhere on the property, a meadow to put horses, a permitted boat dock, and maybe some kind of historical ruin on the property.

A few months ago we ran across a 150 acre parcel with 5000 feet of frontage on beaver lake, 3 waterfalls, a cave, some of the biggest most beautiful trees I have seen in a long time, a mountain view from the top of the property, a permitted boat dock, a lovely grassy meadow between two hills with a stream running through it, and whats left of a very old stone house. The stone house was mostly destroyed in a fire leaving only its beautiful native stone walls standing. If cleaned up it would make a really stunning barn for horses. Its also less than 15 minutes from down town Eureka Springs!

Now if I can just manifest the 1.5 million dollars it would take the buy the place and the income to pay taxes on it every year.

Talking

We need to have our yard paved, my husband was going to pave it and had the front yard dug out then we ran out of money. So for the last few years we've had a hole that fills up when it rains. I always wanted a waterfront property but when the water is lapping at the foundations it's a bit much . He wanted to use pavers which I didn't want done, which probably why it hasn't been completed - I manifested it not to be done. I've finally convinced him to concrete it (cars will be driving and parked on it so concrete is more stable than pavers for that), so we were going to look around at the costs involved. We wished we knew someone who could do it cheap. I decided to stop lamenting over it and to start picturing it as I want it.

A couple of weeks ago I was talking to my cousin whom I hadn't seen in years, he spent most of his time in Africa, importing cars. I was telling him how much I liked the concrete at his sister's house and how we are looking to have it done at ours when we can afford it. He told me that he was now in the concrete business and would love to help us out when we are ready, he said it will be rockbottom rates!! WHOO HOO! Now I just need to manifest the funds.
