How intentions manifest.

Something struck me as I read Steves article on this. He said that most people don't signal first and I thought about it and realized the following. People drive like they manifest, all over the place. The funny thing is, whenever I signal to another driver by looking and gesturing with my hand as if to ask to switch lanes, they let me in almost every time. The problem is, most of the time, people just try and force their way in and then everyone gets upset and no one gets what they really want. Food for thought.

Neat idea. I like the concept. I especially have to be careful "manifesting" my lane changes and turns on my motorcycle, lest I get abruptly hammered from behind and slammed into the wrong lane. An interesting metaphor, no?

saw a bumper sticker about this once: World Peace Begins with Turn Signals.

I do not signal to ask to switch lanes. I've found that method wholly ineffective. Drivers seem to hold position or even speed up to block any access I would have to the desired lane.

Instead, when I want to change lanes, I look for an opportunity, then tell the other drivers "Ready or not, I'm coming into your lane" with my turn signal. Invariably, the other drivers make room for me to enter, as that allows everyone to get to their destination quicker.

I appreciate your metaphor, and thinking about it now, that may be the challenge: to stop "asking" to be "let in" but rather to broadcast our intentions with authority.

In my humble opinion, manifestation occurs through the avenues we allow for it, which intentionally (or not) act as a filter of possible outcomes.

Example:

I wanted a girlfriend a little over a year ago, but I was depressed about being unappreciated and unable to find someone who will love me. So I wrote about it on the forums for a dating site I used to use. Someone read it and responded and long story short we fell madly in love and felt like it was perfect... except that she was a few thousand miles away, and was also a few years older than me at 18, and most importantly was a very physical person.

So yes, it was blissful love, and we still talk, but it's hard not to think that I was limited to a depressing affair because the person whose intention manifested her was a depressed person.

The moral of the story? Our intentions manifest in a way that will reinforce our status as a person at the moment of our intention's "placement on the mystical request queue", if you will.

If you're not fully developed into the person you want to be for the rest of your life, don't try to manifest something you'll want for the rest of your life, or you'll be conflicted between not developing or not having this new toy from the universe.

It happened to me another few times, and only recently ended its last manifestation after 6 months of stress.

So the question comes: how do we assure a good manifestation?

there are three parts to this:

1) Always develop who you are so that you are as close to your ideal self as possible.

2) Always make sure your intentions are geared toward this ideal person you want to become, but are going to recognize the person you are right now as the desired recipient.

3) Always let out your intentions in a place where they will have lots of the right kind of notice.

Here's an example of an ideal way of finding a perfect girlfriend:

1) I must try to become my ideal self all the time.

2) I must keep my ideal companion at the moment (and the ideal person for her to become) in mind.

3) I must express my interest in who this ideal person should be, as well as what her ideal goals for personal progression should be. I must express it in places where this kind of person likely would search for a similar person and progression (in other words, me).
