What in the story would they be taking on, and what would they get, in the story, exactly?
-
Exactly. It is just another story. And then we die.

Nathyanu funded hamas to have a pretext to vipe out Gaza. And Israel killed many of its own citizens. -

And you believe that painting one side as the bad guys will lead to lasting solutions ? -

I'm saying it's most fruitful and most effective to marry manifestation with action. Don't skimp on doing actions in the world. You're limiting the power of manifestation. Every action you do is multiplied by the right sight, the right state of mind. Sitting idly by and putting all your eggs in one basket, it could work, but it's probably not as effective. Besides, what will you spend most of your time on anyway? -

Manifest a rock then you're just a few smashes against your jaw away from manifesting chicks outta no where. -
But how would man or woman know what they are taking on? What would they get?

I've known real professional magicians. You guys aren't even close! -

It's also stupid. Why manifest money when you can manifest things directly? Why the extra step? 🤣 -

Wait, are you secretly saying you've manifested $5,000 before or something similar? Do you sell a course I can buy? -

The beauty and power of manifestation happens in action. The right orientation of mind alchemizes the right outcomes of action. -
Yes, it's very hard. Good job. Keep going.

Let me know if you can manifest $1,000,000 and I'll become your pleb but! -

Why don't you test it though @AtmanIsBrahman? That's what I'd do. If there's some procedure you can follow. Start with something small. And if across a series of different reasonable examples you have success at that level, then you slowly keep raising the stakes. That's the logical thing to do. That way you at least have some closure on this area of potential personal development. Set a time, i.e. like one week or one month, or perhaps 10 minutes a day for 3 months, where you accumulate all the best knowledge you can find on the exact procedures and potential trainings you should practice to experience results. Stick to it. Do not go over your time limit. Make a personal journal on your results and the most strategic decision from here, being moved only based on the evidence of your experiences and sensible reasoning about those experiences. You are the arbiter of truth for your experiences, so embrace the learning and design your own healthy learning loop. That's what will enable you to make the best decision for you from this situation. For me in these situations, for someone to reach clarity combined with closure, they should be encouraged to be their own scientist, experimenter as much as its feasible to do so; blindly believing is very dangerous though, the adage 'be able to entertain an idea without the need to fully accept it'. Understand that in these kinds of law of attraction circles, they feed off your capacity to believe and irrational thinking. If you blindly believe, you give up your authority completely to the author, person or institution, if you don't blindly believe, fear can be used as a tool to explain away why you didn't experience results. Use your judgement to discern the rest. Best wishes. -

It's getting better everyday in terms of how awake people are to the problem. Palestinians had to pay a huge sacrifice tho for this. God bless their souls. -

dont chase life purpose and passion

That's what I'm doing. This whole thread has been very inspiring, because sometimes it's hard to be working ten years on your second best to reach your peak, but it's the wise way to go if you truly love your final passion. You gotta build your way to it, build the infrastructure for it to flourish and it's most of the time tangential work, and this thread allowed me to normalize it again and reignite that slow burning constant perseverance.

The Gathering Storm Yair Zivan There is a storm heading toward Israel. " The sanctions announced by the governments of Britain, France and Canada, together with the support of dozens of other countries, are the darkening clouds. They are a warning of what is still to come. For two decades now, I have been involved, in one way or another, in efforts on behalf of Israel. I began as an activist on university campuses in England, then coordinated the political activities of Jewish students across Britain, served in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, was responsible for Shimon Peres’s international media relations during his final years as President of Israel, and for more than a decade I have worked with Yair Lapid as a diplomatic adviser, both in government and in opposition. Over those years, I have seen attitudes toward Israel from almost every possible angle — in battles on university campuses, in the corridors of power around the world, and through years of working with the international media. From all those years, and from every possible vantage point, two things are clear to me: Israel’s international standing has never been this bad, and without a change of government, it will become much worse. There are four points that are important to make at the outset: Antisemitism exists in the world. There are people, organizations, donors and countries that will exploit any situation and any opportunity to advance an agenda whose aim, more or less explicitly, is the elimination of the State of Israel. Qatari and Iranian money, and the convergence of antisemitism from the far left, the far right and radical Islam — these forces have always existed, and they always will. Israel’s war in Gaza was just and necessary. We were attacked on October 7. We did not start this war and we did not ask for it, and as long as Hamas held Israeli hostages, there was no possibility of bringing it to an end. War is cruel and difficult, and it exacts a heavy price, especially when fighting a terrorist organization that is both vicious and utterly cynical about human life, hiding behind women and children. The citizens of Israel have the right to choose whatever government they want. We are a democracy. No one can tell us whom to vote for, and we do not take orders from anyone. We established a state so that the Jewish people could once again be sovereign, so that we could take our fate into our own hands rather than depend on the goodwill of another nation. But just as we can vote for whoever we believe deserves to lead the country, the rest of the world can respond to that choice as it sees fit. And it will. Israel cannot be an island nation. We cannot prosper or survive in the way we want to without international markets for our high-tech industry, without security cooperation for our submarines and aircraft, without tourism, and without friends and allies willing to stand by us. There will be time to analyze how we lost the battle for global public opinion after Israelis were massacred inside cities and communities within the State of Israel. How did it happen that, while Israeli men, women and children were being held hostage by a terrorist organization under horrific conditions, we lost the sympathy of the world? While accusations of apartheid and colonialism never truly gained broad traction, or were effectively pushed back against, the accusation of genocide has taken hold in the public consciousness. It is, of course, untrue. Whatever criticism one may have of the war in Gaza, the war does not meet any definition of the term genocide. It is simply a lie. But it is an effective lie. One can look at public-opinion data in the United States, across age groups, ethnic groups and political views, or at international opinion surveys showing that almost nowhere do we still enjoy the level of public support we once had. One can also look at the empty hall at the UN during Prime Minister Netanyahu’s most recent speech, or at the scarcity of diplomatic visits to Israel. But one thing is absolutely clear: the Israeli government has made the situation worse. The outrageous statements, the extremist rhetoric, the indifference to human suffering, the absurd fantasies about resettling Gaza or removing its population, the refusal to confront Jewish terrorism, the inability — or unwillingness — to present a positive vision for the future, and the failure to build a serious public-diplomacy apparatus, choosing instead to appease the worst elements in the government — all of these together have brought us to where we are today. They have alienated our friends and empowered our adversaries. From conversations with diplomats, opinion leaders and politicians abroad, the message is clear: we will not be able to stop the storm unless Israel changes course. Our friends around the world are sounding the alarm. They are asking us to wake up. There will be those who stand beside us while others turn their backs on us. They will be the courageous few. But above all, there are friends who want to stand with us, who want once again to see an Israel they can believe in and support. Those friends are Jewish and non-Jewish; they are on the left, the right and in the center; they sit in capitals across the Middle East. We need to listen to moderate senators and ministers who were once firmly pro-Israel and who are now almost pleading with us to listen. The sentence we hear again and again from our friends is simple: Help us help you. Give us something to work with. Even with a new government, the challenges facing us will be enormous. A new government will have to demonstrate that it shares the values of our friends in the West, that it understands the interests of our friends in the region, and that the world beyond Israel matters to it. I do not want to be a prophet of doom, but the storm heading our way is among the most severe we have faced in our history. Sanctions will expand. Trade will become more difficult. It will begin with everything beyond the Green Line, but it will not stop there. It will begin with goods, but it will not stop there — our banking system will be next. It will begin with a ban on the sale of offensive weapons, but it will not stop there. The demands of the anti-Israel movement will only grow, sympathy within the international community will continue to erode, and politicians will take the easy path and give in to pressure, knowing that they will pay no political price for doing so. Within a few years, every Israeli will feel the impact — in their wallet, in their ability to travel abroad, and ultimately in our ability to defend ourselves effectively. A new government does not need to — and must not — compromise even by a millimeter on Israel’s security. That is the first responsibility of any government toward its citizens, and it is also what the world expects of us. But it will have to understand that real security does not depend on strength alone. It comes from a combination of military power, economic strength, diplomatic standing and social cohesion. It requires both strength at home and partnerships abroad. Anyone who doubts this should examine the weapons systems that keep us safe, the flight paths our pilots take to Iran, or the foundations of our economy. And that brings me to the upcoming election. We face a choice, and that choice has real consequences. Any government that includes Ben Gvir and Smotrich will signal to the world that Israel is continuing along the same path. Any government led by Netanyahu will make a change of course impossible. Policy matters, and the people who sit in government matter too. If we want to repair at least some of the damage, and if we want to take advantage of the opportunities that still exist in the region — and they do still exist — we need a change in leadership and a change in policy. When we go to vote on October 27, we need to remember this reality. We must not close our eyes to the consequences of our choices. Each and every one of us must take those consequences into account when making our decision. " https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19mVY31RwF/ -

Ah I see. It feels like a weird definition to me. I think this kind of magic has genuine limits that fall outside the scope of the provided example. Practically speaking, if someone genuinely knows the parameters of this kind of magic they could theoretically improve their competency; like dexterity. I don't believe that many people that believe in this kind of magic understand what they are doing. So where and if this kind of magic happens to be real, I don't believe that the example provided reflects what is possible for the average person. Instead, I think they are being deliberately and consciously scammed through the magic of misdirection. Just as magicians practice and get really good at their kind of magic, charlatans perfect the art of persuasion, misdirection and deception of which this area of personal development (i.e. "law of attraction" type stuff) is riddled with. Where and if it happens to be true, you're putting your hands inside of a bucket full of deadly scorpions trying to find and grab the diamond at the bottom and pull it out without any personal cost to you. Next to impossible without being seriously competent in discerning truth from falsity while investigating this area. Is this kind of example possible? Potentially. Is it available to your average practitioner? Most definitely not. Does the placebo have efficacy in helping people in a number of more biologically measurable ways? Absolutely yes. I am open to discussing magic as I first introduced it beyond this first example you've presently provided. -
That could be because what I am saying is contradictory to capitalist owned western media narratives that you revere and worship as the absolute truth and nothing but the truth.
