Some folks do well with this; other people never seem to succeed.

What do you want from such a system?

You want (a) success; (b) rapid success; (c) reliable success. Just like your Ford automobile, you want it to always start and carry you down the chosen road, to start quickly, and to operate reliably as expected.

In these various systems, different factors are touted as helping to attain success, rapidity, and reliability. These include –

• Practicing to attain clear images
• Adding additional senses as you visualize
• Having faith, believing
• Practicing to build history of success (creates trust)
• Adding emotions you’ll experience upon success
• Picturing as already happened
• Being *in* the picture
• Repetition
• Spending time, more time, every-day time on the same visualization
• Create ardent desire
• Create gratitude (can only feel gratitude on a basis of success)
• Turning it over to God, to the Universe, to your Higher Self, to your Subconscious

The common denominator of all of these … is that they make the visualization more *real*.

Reality – A Consensual Illusion?

For most of us, the first time we hear the concept that the world around us, what we think is reality itself, could be a consensual illusion … it seems absurd. For it directly contradicts our “experience” of the world.

But think. As infants we have no ability to choose a direction, and then create a focused visualization. We must rely upon some incoming sensory input, and what people tell us. Even the words we learn, their meanings, and the way they are strung together create a view of the world … and *inside* of that world-view we operate. Like fish that don’t see the water, we don’t see the world-view we’ve created around us. Everything we see is *inside* the world view.

In Spanish, a person cannot miss the bus. Because when the young grow up inside the Spanish language, the way they consider the missed bus is (as we’d say in English) … “The bus, she left me.” This is now the world view of how busses behave.

As growing children, sometimes we see things that others do not see. However, in order to communicate with others, to attain our goals (food, water, acceptance, grades, friendship) we are attempting to see the commonly-agreed-upon view that we hear from others. Frequently, the imaginary friend fades away from our view of the world, and we cannot see the friend any longer. The golden glow glistening around the leaves as they pulsate with light fades, leaving the flat green leaves shown in pictures and as (we come to believe) seen by others.

We accept the consensual reality as told and demonstrated to us by our family and our culture.

Is My Red Your Blue?

We don’t actually *know* that others see things as we do, even after we’ve agreed.

We can see a shirt or a dress, and we agree that it is red. But perhaps what my eyes are handing to my brain, and what I call by the word “red” would be what you would call “blue” if you could see through my eyes. Perhaps from your viewpoint, you see red and I’m really seeing what you’d call blue, but since we both call it “red” we assume we’re *seeing* the same thing. But we have no way to really check and see if that’s true.

We call it by the same name, we describe it using the same words, but maybe our experience is completely different.

Three Kinds of Entrapment

1. As in the sad movie, you could get your foot caught in the railroad tracks, and you are stuck, entrapped in the physical universe, and the train could eat you up right quick. A fleeing rabbit could be outsmarted in the quick twists and turns by the faster fox, and the rabbit is stuck, entrapped, and it’s curtains.
2. We can get stuck in the structures and blind spots of the mind we’ve constructed by our decisions, from the beliefs adopted from our parents, and from accidental conditioning (automatic reactions) caused by the accidents of our life experience. An example might be an adopted child. While one person might go on to great success and happiness, another might focus on the core belief that the parents didn’t want him, and spend a lifetime seeing rejection from friends, bosses, and lovers even when none existed. All of life could then have targets and strategies designed to deal with and avoid rejection. It’s like running down a football field, dodging invisible barriers, and often failing to see the real opponents closing in.
3. The entire world itself is a consensual reality, which some systems have called the “Veil of Illusion.”

Attaining Freedom from Entrapment

Physical skills and learned skills of the mind avoid physical entrapment, and help us to entrap/ensnare the things that we want.

Self-help and therapies and practices like Rolfing and Meditation help to fix non-optimum mental structures and blind spots in the mind.

So-called spiritual means can achieve freedom from the consensual illusion that *is* the entire world … sometimes.

Some saints and religious figures have done things that seem to be above the entire world, impossible things, miracles. One Indian holy man can create precious jewelry from thin air. Another heals with a hug. Some monks have created enlightenment and freedom in a student with a riddle, pointing a finger, or a whack with a stick. The Jesus is said to have arisen from the dead, awakened the dead by calling his name, and walked upon water.

Most of us have seen miracles, done miracles, or heard about miracles.

We tend to erase these from our minds immediately as we see them. Even when seen, they do not fit into “what is true” or “what is real” or “what is possible.” We can actually make them disappear from our memory even if we just saw it, because immediately it is easier to create the belief that we mis-perceived.

I have seen miracles: The bones in a woman’s face change shape completely in less than an hour, a woman’s vision change from 20/200 to 20/20 in five minutes, a wart be requested to fall off the body and it does, choosing one bus from over 30 from which to retrieve a book belonging to my wife, a fly requested to fly across the room to light on my finger and it does so, visualizing a lost object in a friend’s house and immediately retrieving it (twice), objects appearing where they didn’t exist before.

Miracle = it happened, in contravention to “reality,” contradicting the consensual agreement we call the world.

Magic, when it happens, nearly always happens just outside of your vision. Seldom is there a puff of smoke or sound effects. It just flows in what seems the normal way, except that it’s impossible, and is often re-interpreted immediately by the mind which is caught and can see and remember only *inside* the consensual veil of illusion that we have adopted.

Do You Believe Your Own Eyes?

If you own some blue plates, and you go to the cupboard and open the cupboard, you are very, very certain that the plates you see there will be blue, just like they were yesterday and the day before.

This kind of “reality” is very, very persuasive.

Picturing what “isn’t” against the constant automatic repeated internal creation of what “is” is pitting a weak force against a strong one.

Only repetition, strength and enhancing the weak can prevail.

And it can be done.

Some people become so practiced that they can simply feel good, think about what they want and it shows up quickly.

Others of us must start out more slowly.

But, just as you will probably have to practice if you want to play basketball, then you probably have to practice if you want to manifest a reality different than what you see around you today.

The good news is that, according to the reports of many, over thousands of years … it can be done.

The good news is that if you’ll spend time just to learn it a little, magic and manifestation and freedom will become more and more visible in your life.

Alas, for most of us, you must actually try it a bit before you’ll see results. You can’t just say, “show me,” and have your life instantly revamped. There is no force in the Universe that can take the place of *you* in this game. Nobody can shoot the basket *for* you; you’ll need to take your shots yourself.

Tips for Success

• Tip #1 — Picture what is *near* the consensual reality.
• Tip #2 — Remove counter-intentions. If you’re trying to walk north and south at the same time, little progress is possible. So in addition to creating the new reality, be sure to remove your participation in the old reality that is no longer your heart’s desire. (One example is chatting with a friend who mocks and reinforces the old views or who continually creates negative scenarios which you “should” accept. Another example is making your actions in the physical are compatible with your vision, like getting a bed large enough when you are seeking a lover.)
• Tip #3 — Practice, and you gain skill.
• Tip #4 — Connect with other people who share the view that changing the world is possible.
• Tip #5 — Choose one thing on which to focus, and then focus as if your head were on fire. Avoid choosing a long laundry list, because watering down your focus over many list items weakens each one.
• Tip #6 — Choose a target about which you can feel passionate. For example, if you think you *ought* to want a million dollars, but you have much stronger feelings about getting a new rug, a new boyfriend, or losing some weight, then the million dollars can wait.
• Tip #7 — Use a gradient. Success is cumulative, and so starting with simple things builds your “strength” or belief.

You can Use the Physical Universe, too

In some cases, a person encountering this magical/spiritual approach can completely overlook using the physical universe. That can be a big mistake. In some cases, using the physical universe may be the quicker road, and please realize you are *still* using the principles of visualization in order to bring about the manifestation of your heart’s desire.

Here’s an example:

At the age 26, I was still completely backward about how to meet and flirt and attract a girlfriend. But one day I had an epiphany, and saw a different way to look at it, and created a kind of system for myself. It worked fabulously. I turned this into an instructional manual some years later, and it appears to have worked very well for pretty much everyone who has tried it.

It consists in asking many people to go out. And in this case, for certain reasons of theory, you do not much discriminate much about who you ask out in the very beginning. (That is, you adopt a mental viewpoint which stops ruling out everybody.) Since your purpose here is not to immediately find the love of your life, but rather to experience the process of inviting and going out, and to learn how to enjoy this process, this whole thing becomes rather easy.

You stay out of bed and avoid entanglement, while you learn how to have a good time, how to share a good time, and how to operate in this world of asking women out. And what happens?

It’s the Ultimate Visualization

Your physical eyes *see* you going out with women. Your nose *smells* the perfume the women are wearing. Your sense of touch *feels* the women going out with you. Your ears *hear* the women saying yes to your invitation to go out. You see and hear and feel and experience that you are going out with women.

How much chance do pre-existing “mental” limitations and visions have of standing up against this evidence of your senses? Precious little. Because you are now pitting the strong (automatic repeating creating of your reality) against the weak (mental fears and blind spots). You are using the Universe to reprogram your reality, in the direction you have chosen.

It changes you. It changes you fast. It changes you reliably. It changes you in the direction of success. It changes you on a self-regulating gradient. It changes you “near” to the existing physical universe. And it changes you more and more as you continue.

You then discover, whether you started this way or not, that attractive women somehow start falling out of the sky, appearing in your world, manifesting. And, better still, one or more start manifesting in your dates.

Keep this up, and it’s darn difficult to avoid meeting the love of your life.

(How do you know when to say “yes” and accept the love of your life? My rule is simple. When I realize I’d be a *fool* to let *this one* escape, then it’s time to say yes.)

A Learned Manifestation Skill Remains

More good news — If you start out fairly clumsy with women, as I was, then the first time you try this, it takes a while, and it may take time before you really flip over somebody.

However, this process is teaching you a skill. And if, some time later, you need to reactivate your “dating mode,” you’ll happily discover that things go faster and easier … because you have (a) learned a new skill, and (b) this new “possibility” is now a part of your psyche, easy to accept, and now a part of you and who you are.

This is using the physical universe. Alter your actions so that your eyes and ears and nose and body create your desired reality, more and more.

And you are still visualizing, and manifesting.

You are using judo on the consensus reality you call your life to find true love and happiness.

What Visualization System is Best to Use?

Though some are probably better than others — for you in particular — it probably doesn’t matter a lot whether you engage in prayer, magic, meditation, manifestation, and such things.

You may have to sort out some of your skills in the physical universe, and in your mental universe, before you start creating thunderstorms over your town, or speedboats appearing in your driveway.

But the good news is … you can do this.

Mobius Megatar ToneWeaver Guitar.

I make and sell guitars. Unusual guitars that you can play without strumming or picking, and this lets you play strings with both hands, so you can play bass strings and guitar strings at the same time. The name of this instrument is the Mobius Megatar.

Recently, a college student had inquired because he wanted to get one of our instruments. We wrote back and forth, and he was all set to go, but then he sent me this email –

“I’m sorry but the Megatar is not in the picture any more. I was coerced into buying a 2700 dollar classical guitar from a company that gives referral bonuses to the teacher who I was coerced by, so I’m left broke and on crappy terms with my main teacher for the next 3 years.

“I really wish I had the cash and time to delve into a tapstyle instrument right now, and if I could, it’d be a Mobius with Bartolini pickups, but it seems like that won’t be available for a while. With student loans and a no emergency funds (thanks to the aforementioned jerk of a teacher) I’ll be lucky if my car makes it without scheduled servicing for the next 6 months.”

What is really odd is that I got another email from another college student, in a similar situation who told me something of a similar story, that he’d been required (or perhaps urged) to get a nylon-string guitar for some upcoming course work. However, the second student seemed much less bitter.

And it got me to thinking. I can understand the disappointment he must feel.

And actually, it does sound kind of crappy behavior for the college music instructor, to push the student toward an instrument that pays the instructor a commission.

On the other hand …

On the other hand, that’s the past, and I’m guessing that it’s a pretty good guitar, and I expect that the young man will get quite a bit of good out of it. So I suggested that he might as well see if he could let some of the bitterness go.

If somebody makes you angry, it’s as if they have given you a heavy rock to carry around. You can go into the other room, but you’re still carrying the rock. Over time, it seems like the rock grows heavier and heavier and heavier.

The person who triggered the unhappiness, perhaps they are good perhaps they are bad, but in any event most of the time these other humans are doing about the best that they can with the training and insight that they possess; most people are like you and me. Sometimes we are good people. Sometimes we are bad people, but generally we are doing the best that we can. Because, if you knew how to do better, you would do better, wouldn’t you?

Even the fools and jerks are about the same.

Generally speaking, you cannot do too much about the ignorance or wrong choices of other people, but you do make your own choices.

At this point, might you be able to consider this idea? … Throw down the rock. Let it roll away. Someone else can pick it up, if  they want to. Might that make your passage through the days … lighter?

You’re young or you’re old. Either way, there are lots of adventures ahead.

Time enough for things that are important.

For example, if you think you want a Megatar, start picturing it, allow yourself to think of it as something you *already possess*. Something you already have, in the fullness of time. Perhaps you don’t see the way right this minute, but that’s the way of all life. You don’t see all life right now. And the first step is to see it, decided that it’s on the way, picture it, enjoy that you have it … and generally it will show up, often sooner than you’d have thought, just because that’s the future you are creating.

You create your life as you go, moment by moment, with your thoughts and with your perceptions.

Perceive tragedy and all around you tragedy abounds, and with your thoughts, future tragedies begin to take form.

Perceive what you want, and the good things you enjoy, and all round you, good things exist, and you create more good things a-coming.

Your Megatar is just one of the good things coming to you. You have a wonderful life unfolding.

The movie has a focus on “getting stuff,” which is probably a good thing, because this focus that anyone can understand is probably one of the reasons the movie has been wildfire word-of-mouth and rapidly making its way into mainstream culture. And after all, if you’re just too darned spiritual to want some stuff for yourself, you could always manifest a bunch of stuff and give it to the poor!

For the rest of us, getting some stuff sounds just swell. And just a tiny bit of reflection brings us to the realization that we could use the same method to be, do, or have more of the things that interest and inspire us. Nothing wrong with that.

But what about lazy people?

Sometimes people are kind of, well, lazy. And lots of the people seeing this movie are electrified and inspired, but haven’t thought about this kind of “manifesting” before.

As a result, perhaps they find it real attractive to sit on their cushy sofas and just wish up a storm. They’re visualizing sports cars, new homes with pools on the ocean at Acapulco, and bank accounts that just splash with the money overflowing. They’re visualizing new girlfriends who resemble models, cushy jobs where they do nothing at all, and servants leaping around saying “yassah! yassah!”

And some of these folks sitting on their cushy sofas seem to be expecting these things to just magically appear out of the thin air. And … it doesn’t work like that.

It does work. But it works a bit differently.

::: HOW THE LAW OF ATTRACTION WORKS

In the movie, they speak of “Like Attracting Like,” and without getting into discussions of frequencies and vibes, let’s simply say that the idea is that if you’re “tuned in” to the idea of a new girlfriend, then you’re wonderfully positioned to have one show up. And it might be hard to say how much is due to magic — because the universe loves you — and how much is due to your paying attention to what’s around you because you’re tuned in.

I have an opinion about that, and probably you have an opinion about that. My opinion is that it’s simply magic. Some day we may learn that it’s science, but for right now, it’s magic and I’ve seen it happen so repeatedly that I think it’s magic and it’s darned handy.

I have a theory about how it works, but it’s just my theory. I may not know how a refrigerator works, or how a television works, or how a jetski works. But I can use a refrigerator or a television, and I think I could operate a jetski.

In a like fashion, I know the rules for manifesting things, and by golly things manifest, and that’s just swell. And the way that they manifest is not like the cushy-sofa-sitter is picturing.

It works like this …

::: THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS

Thoughts do become things, but perhaps this is less magical than we might imagine.

For example, the lightbulb was just an idea that Edison dreamed up. He then did experiment after experiment learning what didn’t work. And then, one day, one of his experiments revealed what did work.

Nicola Tesla was walking in the park, talking with a friend, and he glanced up at the sun. He was struck with a vision, of a circle around the sun. And the circle around the sun had magnets and he saw electricity flowing. And his friend watched in stupefaction as Tesla stopped in mid-sentence and began drawing a diagram in the dirt. This diagram was the electrical-generator motor, and the same design he saw in a circle around the sun is powering your lightbulbs, refrigerator, and television today.

But his first Electrical Generator, built at Niagara Falls so as to be turned by the falling water, did not spring into being out of thin air. It required steel and wire and machinery and hauling heavy stuff. It required negotiation and salesmanship. Money changed hands. People had to be hired and paid. There was grease and sweat and wrenches and loud noises. And … then … there was an Electrical Generator, and it was making electricity.

Notice that both Edison and Tesla had an idea, a thought, but that before the thought became a thing, each of them went through a period of hard work and doing stuff.

::: WHAT IS ‘ATTRACTION’?

The easiest way to think about this is to think of an iron magnet.

Place an iron magnet upon the table top. Nearby place some iron filings. Zoom! The iron filings leap across space to attach themselves to the iron magnet.

In the same manner, you can seemingly cause things to find their way through space to you. But unlike a magnet, which is “hardwired” to attract one thing — iron — you have the ability to create. What can you create? You can create thoughts. Iron cannot do that.

When you create thoughts properly focused on the thing you desire, like a new car, it is as if you are making yourself into a “new car magnet.” As you go around thinking of positive wonderful things, these positive and wonderful things tend to show up.

And on the other hand, when you go around thinking of horrid and undesireable things, by golly these things tend to show up, too!

Now we might quibble: Is it due to the Magic of the Spheres? Or is it just that you’re sensitizing yourself to these things and so you notice them? And I say, “Go ahead and have any opinion you wish,” but please notice that the facts seem to be true.

When you constantly picture good stuff, good stuff seems to show up. When you constantly picture bad stuff, bad stuff seems to show up in your life.

So it appears that you can create your reality. And it doesn’t really matter whether it gets created by elves or far-out science. If you can create your reality, why not create a good one and enjoy your good life?

::: WE START WITH A THOUGHT

Perhaps the oak trees began as a thought in the mind of God. Hard to prove it. But for certain all the man-made things — shoes, and ships, and sealing wax — began with an idea. A fellow invented bubble gum by accident. Another guy invented useful rubber products by accident. Other folks invented things like the cotton gin and the gin and tonic by experimenting.

But every (man made) thing in the universe began as a thought. So we can feel pretty certain about that one.

::: IS THAT ALL THERE IS TO IT?

You think a thought and then the thing is there?

Well, actually, sometimes it does happen like that. I think of a friend and my phone rings and it’s my friend. That sometimes happens. And similarly maybe I think that today I’d like to have $1800 of new income show up. And quite often I get an email or a phone call from somebody who wants to send me $1800.

Now it is possible that it might be Publisher’s Clearing House telling me I’ve won, but quite often these people who want to send me money also want something for their money. I make musical instruments — see http://megatar.com — and often when people contact me to send money, they want me to send them a musical instrument.

Is the the wondrous fact that I thought of getting $1800 and somebody called up and offered to send $1800 diminished by the fact that it’s commerce? Is this reality diminished by the fact that the dollars didn’t just appear “Poof!” on the table?

Not really. I find that being able to call up what I’d like makes me happy when it shows up and it doesn’t matter to me whether it’s delivered by UPS or Federal Express.

Sure, if I found $1800 lying on the ground outside my back door, that would be another swell way to get $1800, but when you’re all a-manifesting stuff, the one thing you don’t get to do is to tell the Universe how to send it. You get to choose what you want. The Universe gets to send it any way it chooses.

::: THE PREACHER AND THE FLOOD

There were warnings of a flood one day, but the Preacher knew that the Lord would provide, so he didn’t leave with all his neighbors. And sure enough it did come a flood, and he had to climb up on his roof.

The view up there was fine, and he saw some people he knew paddling by in a boat. They smiled and waved.

“Come on, Preacher!” they called. “We’ve got room in the boat.” But he shook his head.

“No, thanks,” he said, “Pick up somebody else. The Lord will protect me.”

So they paddled around the bend, and then the Preacher saw two men holding onto a large log. They called to him to jump in the water and join them as they drifted down the current. But he declined, saying that the Lord would provide.

And the water rose, and rose. And it swept him away and he tumbled in the dirty water, and he drowned.

And when he opened his eyes, he stood before the Pearly Gates. And he saw, past Saint Peter, God himself looking out at him. And the Preacher was just a little bit miffed.

“Lord,” he said, “I believed in you. I believed in you and you let me down!”

“Foolish man,” said the Lord, “I sent you a news broadcast, a boat, and a log.”

::: HOW TO GET IN THE BOAT

Take action.

In the movie, “The Secret,” several people (Joe Vitale, Jack Canfield) say that “you may have to take some action.” Perhaps you get an inspired idea. Maybe you just get a “What if …” idea. Maybe you already know what you need to do.

You’ve got to do your part.

If you’re sitting in front of a table, and on the table is a glass of water, and you’re thirsty, you don’t just sit there asking the Universe to get the water into your mouth. Instead you just pick up the glass and drink.

What if you’re in some business building, and you’re thirsty. You ask the Universe for some water. But you also look around the halls and ask people. Sure enough, you find a water cooler. Now you could be ungrateful and snippy, and you could say, “The Universe didn’t do a darn thing for me. I found it myself!”

Which reminds me of Moishe in Jerusalem

::: MOISHE IN JERUSALEM

Moishe had finally gone to see the Holy Land and he had a car to drive around. He was having a hard time finding a parking place, though. So he called on the Lord.

“Lord,” he said, “I really need a parking place. If you’ll just give me a parking place, I promise to keep the sabbath, and to be a better man.”

At just that moment, right in front of him, a car pulled out of a parking space that couldn’t have been more perfect. Moishe leaned out the window and looked up.

“Never mind!” he called. “I just found one!”

Albert Einstein once said, “You need to treat life as if nothing is a miracle … or everything is.” And that’s really the choice that we have. You can choose either way. But here’s a hint: When you choose to treat life as if it is all miraculous, it’s more fun.

::: THE HEART OF THE MATTER

When you decide to try the method given in “The Secret,” you will start to picture something that you desire. You will start to *feel* the emotion that you have when you contemplate this thing you desire. You will remember to *feel* gratitude for the things you already have in this life. You will choose to *trust and believe* that what you want is on its way, that you are going to have it.

Now here’s the key point.

On the one hand, though you get to choose what you want, it is *The Universe* that gets to choose how it will come. You don’t get to choose that. No matter how it comes, it will get to you, but you have to give up being able to tell the Universe how you want it delivered.

Nextly, you may have to take action. Suppose you want a girlfriend, and you know there’s a gaggle down at Joe’s Bar on any Saturday Night. If you *refuse* to take action, and wander on down to Joe’s Bar, then you are picturing a *COUNTER-INTENTION* to your alleged desire.

It’s like a diet. Losing some weight should be a simple thing in theory. You just eat less food and burn more energy, and you’ll lose weight. But for most of us, it’s a little more stubborn than that. And the reason is dead-simple obvious.

The reason why diets proceed slowly is because you’re holding two different and conflicting ideas in your head at the same time. On the one hand you say, “I want to lose some weight.” And at the same time you think, “I want to eat that luscious big piece of cake!”

Going in two directions doesn’t work!

Try it. Stand in the middle of the living room. Take one step to the North. Then take one step to the South. Repeat this over and over, as fast as you can. See how long it takes to get to the kitchen!

::: COUNTER-INTENTION GOES NOWHERE

In actual fact, the practice of visualizing (with emotion) what you want, and having it appear in your life is actually pretty simple. However, you cannot move in two directions at once.

You cannot picture the “good times with new girlfriend,” while at the same time picturing “how bad old girlfriend treated me.” Because at the same time you’re picturing good times and bad times. It just cannot get you anywhere.

Likewise, if you’re picturing “fun times with new girlfriend,” and for a moment you have the inspired idea to mosey on down to Joe’s Bar, but then you think “sit on my butt and watch wrestling on television, yeah!” And now you’re picturing two opposite and contradictory ideas. And which one are you *acting* on?

::: THE UNIVERSE ISN’T STUPID

The Universe isn’t stupid. It’s clear where your priority lies. And that’s what the Universe will deliver to you. You get to watch wrestling on television.

And similarly, if you’re picturing “fun times with new girlfriend,” and it just pops into your head to maybe wander down to Joe’s Bar and flirt around, and then you have the thought, “Oh, but wait. I’m clumsy at flirting. It might not work.” And so you think you’d like to have a new girlfriend but you don’t want to mosey down to Joe’s Bar, so you go into the kitchen to see if there’s any doughnuts left.

And guess what? You’re refusing to act. You are *declining* the available women standing around down at Joe’s Bar.

When you decline to go to the trouble of mosying down to Joe’s Bar to fetch one of those women, what are you thinking? That you’re going to find one in your kitchen cabinet in the sack of doughnuts?

When you decline to bother to go fetch your new girlfriend, you’re expressing a counter-intention. You are *demonstrating* that you don’t really want the woman.

Guess what?

That’s what you’ll get.

You’ll get a doughnut, but no woman.

::: THE ANSWER

Use the method given in the Secret. It will work. And, at the same time, get yourself down to Joe’s Bar and hustle. And walk up to them at the Supermarket. And ask your Aunt Mabel to fix you up with women from Church. And join a pottery class. And strike up conversations at the bus stop. And ask them out every chance you get. And keep on using the visualization with feeling. Now everything you do is telling the same story.

That’s when it *really* works.

Immediately, it’s as if unseen forces in the Universe cause women to come toward you in seemingly strange coincidental ways.

The Law of Attraction says that when you send out your message as a thought, with feeling, and when you hold that desire clear in your mind, with belief and faith, that it will come.

Try it. Try it with your eyes wide open, and be willing to do the work that is shown to you.

You’ll see magic. Real magic. If you take action.
