Quote:
What happens when people put out conflicting intentions, like two people intending to get the same promotion when only one position is available?

Since you’re the only intender, this is entirely an internal conflict — within YOU. You’re holding the thought (the intention) for both people to want the same position. But you’re also thinking (intending) that only one can get it. So you’re intending competition. This whole situation is your creation. You believe in competition, so that’s what you manifest. Maybe you have some beliefs (thoughts and intentions) about who will get the promotion, in which case your expectations will manifest. But you may have a higher order belief that life is random, unfair, uncertain, etc., so in that case you may manifest a surprise because that’s what you’re intending.

Who are you?

I am a manifestation of your thoughts. You believe I exist; therefore, I exist. My existence will be subject to your expectations. If you believe I can be helpful to you, then I will be helpful. If you believe I am misguided, then that will be your experience of me.

So why can’t you fly?

Because you believe I can’t fly. Hence you will never see me fly as long as you continue to hold that belief.

So if I believed you could fly, then you could fly?

Yes. But it would be more accurate to say this: If you knew I could fly, then I could fly. If you knew you could fly, then you could fly.

But what if you believe you can fly, but I’m certain you can’t, and you go jump off a tall building and try to fly?

Then you will see me leap to my death in spectacular fashion.
Hi Steve,

You said that I am just a manifestation of YOUR thoughts,
so why should it matter if I KNEW that you could not fly?

Can't you just believe that I don't exist at all?

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks.
