Your Thoughts Do Not Create Your Reality, Stupid.

[reeay]

In my early 20s I did rituals and manifested opportunities to meet the perfectly compatible guy but what I got pretty much was 'perfect' + 'other stuff' that I realized mirrored my own.

I remember a warning about magic that I found to be a useful concept. It was stated that when we try to force things, such as 'the perfect mate', that we are not forcing the other person. And that if the only type of person that potential mate is attracted to is a handicapped person, we in effect end up with a handicap (such as losing an arm) to bring about this persons love. I thought it a great concept that is never taken into account.

As for thoughts creating reality............I did happen to manifest a replacement vehicle within 10 minutes of request to an archangel. I was the only person on a straight street and I seemed to become invisible to a guy at a stop sign. Even when he hit me he could not see me in front of him. It was the awesomeness I always wanted to see as far as reality bending.

When I sent this request, I was under a lot of duress as far as the vehicle I had. So there was intense emotion sent with my request.

This sort of thing has happened twice, and both times I end up taking a new turn that I would not normally take. And there is a haze about the moment. After the incidents the general feeling is almost like having been possessed. Something had redirected me away from my normal course in order to meet another person on a particular course.

I feel as if there is the intent/emotion to set things in play, then there is the relaxation where we allow ourselves to be placed in front of the opportunities. And the less emotion that goes into the setup, the longer it takes to manifest.

True you get what you ask for when you ask for perfect lol.

I do believe emotions are key. I also used emotions as way to connect to other sources of guidance and such. There is a book that is better than The Secret, the Intention Experiment where Lynn McTaggart presents studies on intention setting. Couple of neat ones.

(ones I remember)
Since the brain has no way to distinguish time (only perceive time so make interpretations), we can imagine that something has already happened and become excited about it. I did this before a very big exam and got the result (altho I did not study much I knew I would pass tho, but it helped to curb my anxiety over passing). The night before I did the whole, 'YES I PASSED' routine and distracted myself from the anxiety.

Mohammad Ali made poems about his successful defeat of his opponents and chanted it before his fights with conviction, I guess.

She called buddhist monks 'intention masters' due to their ability to alter their mind/body etc through practice of meditation.
