Why can you attract things with thought and desire?

[Eyeball Chambers]

I never believed in this kind of thing, but it absolutely works. 

WHY?

[JOHN MATRIX]

it doesnt work, its bullshit.

[stuntmovie]

Many books have been written on this subject but I think Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" was the first and most popular.

I've been thinking real hard and consistently of living in a mansion on my private beach in Hawaii for years, but it has yet to happen.

But I thought real hard about this for a full year straigt, and a good friend actually inherited many areas of Hawaii land with a private beach with a huge home just above the high-tide mark.

I think that whomever is in charge of this thinking/growing rich process, sent the riches to the wrong thinker!

[MindSpin]

works for me.

[The Showstoppa]

Money is often wasted on the rich/wealthy.

[stuntmovie]

How, precisely, did it work for you, Eyeball?

You know I actually think it does work well except that the wrong person gets what the original thinker really wanted.

That's why some illegal guy from across the border won a recent Cal lottery for many millions, but I was the one who was thinking about getting it.

Somehow the recipients get mixed up in the delivery process.

But it definitely works!

Sounds good, works everytime for homeless people.

[Devon97]

Actually it does. Homeless folks always talk about how broke they are, being homeless and jobless. Hell, they even hold up signs proclaiming their misfortuns: " Please help, Homeless, No money, God Bless"

Unfortunately homeless people use it to their disadvantage.

[JOHN MATRIX]

there are about 5 billion hungry people in the world filled with 'thoughts and desire' for a little more food. it does not bring them any.
there are also tens of millions of ugly, obese office workers filled with 'thoughts and desire' about one day having sex with a supermodel, and that doesnt happen either.

if you are fortunate to have things you've always wanted, its due to a combination of putting in the effort and having had good luck/breaks, not due to 'hoping and thinking positive thoughts' 

[The Showstoppa]

Shouldn't this be moved to the positive board?

Wishing (alone) won't make it so, at least not always / every time.

Ummm wrong. The reason those people you mentioned have no success is that they don't take action.

Shhh, it's a secret.  By the way.  I desire that bitch below every night when I crack off but she's yet to come true

[stuntmovie]

Mon, your 'think' was simply delivered to the wrong thinker. It's as simple as that.

It works 100% of the time but the delivery process is just a bit fucked up.

DId you have a change of address lately?

[heavyNbasic]

works for me.

So you've had Dana White's nutsack in your mouth?

Here's where things get complicated.  You are actually getting your desire, it's just a matter of which 'you' it is.  Theorists believe that there may be parallel universes where you inhabit each one, thus potentially making time travel possible.  Chances are I may be thinking about her here in this universe but another me in a different parallel universe is banging the shit out of her right now.  It's just a crap shoot if the thinking you is the one that gets what you are thinking.  Chances are there's a billionaire stuntmovie somewhere and a poor begger Bill Gates or Warren Buffett.

[Mr Nobody]

you're not doing 3 backflips 1st thing in the a.m. followed by throwing 3 pieces of dogshit through a basketball hoop.

[tbombz]

theres more than one answer/explanation and it depends on exactly what your talking about and how you went bout it.

can you let us in on exactly what happened to make you ask this question? then maybe myself, or another getbigger, can help shed some light on what made whatever it was that happened happen.



not exactly related... but a quote from william james..

The more sincerely one seeks to trace the actual course of psychogenesis, the steps by which as a race we may have come by the peculiar mental attributes which we possess, the more clearly one perceives the slowly gathering twilight close in utter dark.


just to say, the mind is complex...

[BIG DUB]

It definitely works..

Points to remember..

1. Place yourself in the first person in your visualization or affirmation.

2. Your visualization must inspire "feeling".

3. Be flexible to do your part what ever it is to manifest your desire. Don't force anything but go with what ever is presented to you whether opportunity or a good idea to get it. This is where a lot of people fail, they don't do their part ie.) "take action".

4. Don't stress about your desire everyday. If it pops up in your mind during the day, Briefly affirm it and then turn it over to the subconscious mind.

[hazbin]

i have manifested many things in my life to a rediculous degree of accuracy.

[MindSpin]

some people are much better at manifesting than others.  I think you can improve by working at it.  Just remember, any doubt you have, or any worrying you do, is the result of imagining the opposite of what you desire.  The more you worry or doubt, the more likely you will fail...
