One night someone comes in your house and rapes you, steals all the jewelleries you have. So what happened to the "The Secret", have you forgotten to think and manifest that no one rapes you in the future? Delusional, wishful thinking will never prevent what will happen to you externally!
Can you manifest an economy that wont exploit you? Can you manifest that the economy wont crash soon?

Has any one considered this idea, for example say you want a new job but you loss your old job first, it may seem like bad karma when it's just the universe tearing things down before it build something new. Another example would be wanting a new house only to have your old house burned down first before receiving a new place, no bad karma just the universe tearing things down before it build something new. I still don't believe the universe punish people for wanting materialist stuff, it just helps you focus on something more. Bad Karma is just people wishing bad stuff to happen to them, by affirming it on someone else.The observer intents for that person to do bad so they start imaging how bad it's going be for the person and they ironically bring bad karma on themselves. Here's an example www.youtube.com...
Bad karma or people imagining their negative intent on this creature?

Thank you for your posts, Sylvie. I am starting to be interested in the concepts behind manifestation. Are there limits to what can be manifested, even with the correct intentions? For example, if I am serving a life sentence for a murder I committed, can I manifest freedom or wealth or a woman to keep me company, when "society" is collectively manifesting to keep me in prison?

Here is a true story of my own, it may not be direct manifesting, but the results were most certainly an avenue for Spirit to answer a prayer.
I had been let go from job that I held for five years. I had always been a paycheck to paycheck person and so this transition was a bit heavy on me at the time. I was alone in my own apartment and I did not know how I was going to pay rent. I didn't have a lot of things in my life, most of it was the "basics"; I was so fortunate to have a good running vehicle at the time (positive afterthought).
Anyways, there I sat, not feeling too good about my prospects, I had ran through the want ads and there really wasn't anything for me. I would have accepted even part-time if I could at that point. Rent was past due, I remember this because of the date that this took place, Valentine's Day was the following Saturday (Feb 14 for those in other cultures).
As I was sitting, worrying, and praying for something, anything to make this better, I began looking at all my bills on the table and of course the newspaper filled with nothing. I also had a book on the table which was a picture book of "Flowers", by a well-known photographer (I will refrain from mentioning him right now, his work is controversial, but his work with Flowers is extraordinary). I was thumbing through this impressive book of pictures and I ran across the most perfect 'Red Rose'. I stared at it and stared at it until finally a voice came into my head, "if I had several dozen roses I could sell them at the local bars on Valentine's Day". Wow, what a brilliant idea! Now how do I find roses? I stared and stared and I started realizing that my mind was deconstructing the rose and reconstructing it, I was literally seeing the rose for all its parts. I was filled with a sense of imagination as if a Muse herself had stepped into me (perhaps she did).
I reached for some scissors and began cutting the bills up and making petals. I rolled the newspaper sheet per sheet and created stems, I was like a madman. That very afternoon I created a pattern of three distinct petal shapes, the very same pattern I use today 20 years later.
I put together two dozen roses and in one night I sold each of them and I was able to pay rent with a bit left over for bills! Darn if I could find any bills though! LOL (since they were now petals and brightly painted with some cheap spray paint).
This inspiration has stayed with me my entire Adult life, and it would not shock me to find out that one of you might have a rose of my creation on you mantle. Over the years I have tried many mediums from paper to metal and no matter the process I have always used those same three patterns I made that day.
Here is a picture of my rose creations (currently with sheet metal and paper combined) I am not selling these any more, as I only make them as gifts to others. I am blessed by them and I bless others through them.

Shortly after I made my very first roses I was commissioned to do 20 roses 2 feet in diameter to be used by the St. Mary's Children's Hospital in San Antonio, TX, they were to be used for five years. What an exciting development and experience to go through. Here are some of them completed in my garden at the time (yeah that was me when I was but a rosebud).

I did them in a traditional "Fiesta" color scheme. I am sure they were adored by many for years afterward.
Some may say this has nothing to do with Manifesting, but I cannot see how this wasn't Spirit Intervention so that my initial "wish" could be answered, "how was I going to pay rent?".

Hmm I think your thread has some interesting stuff...
I think people should travel more and experience other cultures, youll eventually learn that living in fantasy land may only work in places like America and Europe.

Can you point out where anyone spoke about living in fantasy lands? Have you travelled far? Perhaps you could offer more insight and discussion rather than just thinly veiled sarcasm.

Hire some workers and let them work for you.
As they work, you will have more time to spend.
Your employees will LOVE you for paying them.
Your wife/girlfriend will love you for more earned money.
More Love (aka money) you bring home the more Love (sex on command) will you get from her.
Thus happiness.
If you want something, you need to focus on it and find the way to achieve it.
You must plan, try and fail to learn hence get experienced!
There is only one way: Knowing to exploit others by using money and lies!
All that love, light etc. does not work in reality. If you cant lie, you will be a loser for eternity. If you borrow (credit, loan) money, you will be a loser too.
Dreamers are the worker slaves! Liars and exploiters are the bosses. Now guess who has more money and time to enjoy the REAL life? Get realistic. If you dont choose to live in amazonas alone, there is no other way.
Sorry you feel that way. I just plainly refuse to compromise myself like that.
