In the former case, you need to examine and redefine your statement of intent, and in the latter case you need to start using actual magick instead of vaguely focused daydreaming.<BR/><BR/>While the "law of attraction" model can work if your thoughts are exceptionally clear, a problem with the method is that your desire for a specific outcome often gets mixed up with other aspects of your personality. The actual resulting "intent" can include all sorts of other information besides from the desire itself. One way that I could envision something like this happening in your case might be that you have enough talent to manifest the outcomes you want, but in some way you feel unworthy of receiving the benefits. So the things you visualize happen <I>around</I> you rather than <I>to</I> you.<BR/> <BR/>If you are working formal rituals, make sure that your statement of intent explicitly mentions <I>you</I> receiving the thing you are conjuring for. "It is my will to summon a silver Range Rover" is not sufficient. A statement like that could have produced what you experienced since the Range Rover did appear. With this example, the statement would need to be modified so that it includes acquiring and owning said vehicle.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711472842235872560.post-56275468378851052232008-10-05T02:04:00.000-05:002008-10-05T02:04:00.000-05:00I would appreciate more information on this subjec...I would appreciate more information on this subject of "unintentional manifestation." I've got some doozy examples: Walking up the sidewalk to a hospital front entrance for three weeks, everyday I noticed an older model black Range Rover vehicle near the edge of the side walk. Owning a "new" Silver Range Rover remains a manifestation I desire. After a week or so of noticing the older black Range Rover, I noticed that it's replaced by a new silver Range Rover exactly like the one I imagined and have plastered all around my home. Heck, I manifested the vehicle I wanted for someone else!<BR/>Another one: An older, wealthy gentleman interested in me, just like I wanted him to be and I wanted him to marry me and move to Virginia. He moves to Virginia, like I wanted him to but he marries another woman just like me. Again, my scenario exactly. But for someone else!<BR/>Oh, there are many other occasions too: my brother's trip to Vegas and the Wynn Hotel that happened for him exactly the way I wanted; my sister's trip to the salon I wanted to visit for a long time; a neighbor making a move exactly like I wanted. The list of these sorts of events "manifestation for others" has been seemingly endless for me!<BR/>Why am I accomplishing "magick" or "attraction" for others and not myself? Of course, these events did entertain me but I found them hurtful (because of their exactness) and they made me incredibly jealous. Fortuitously, these events did draw me to this blog and this entry because it was the subject of a burning question for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711472842235872560.post-2632748055090238202008-10-01T10:34:00.000-05:002008-10-01T10:34:00.000-05:00In my experience there's a careful balance that yo...In my experience there's a careful balance that you need to strike when constructing your intent for a ritual. On the one hand, you want to do your best to think like a lawyer and make sure that there aren't any "loopholes" in your intention as in the example above. Magick will generally follow the path of least resistance that fulfills the statement of intent to the letter.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if you specify the means by which your intent will be fulfilled in exacting detail you are limiting the effectiveness of your ritual. Generally speaking, not all unexpected means are detrimental to the spirit of your intention and if one of those turns out to be the path of least resistance the spell will work better if it can manifest along those lines. Visualizing an exact roadmap will eliminate unexpected means, but it may require a bigger probability shift to reach the desired result.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711472842235872560.post-86807131922868899112008-10-01T01:49:00.000-05:002008-10-01T01:49:00.000-05:00That ties in with the old saying "be careful what ...That ties in with the old saying "be careful what you wish for, it might come true" and the famous horror story of "The Monkey's Paw". Yes, I do agree you need to be careful about how you imagine things coming to be when you are working magic.Badwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548605170878666546noreply@blogger.com
