.. because you just might get it! I am sure you heard that ad nauseam. Because, apparently, we don't know what's good for us. Or the Universe is wacko and makes fun of us at every turn. Did it ever happen to you? Care to share what you wanted and what you received? My last date wished for a woman who wasn't a lady in the sheets. I told him I know my kinks and apparently shocked him pretty badly. He ran for the hills. I thought it was funny. And a little hurtful, but mostly funny.
Regardless, it seems this manifestation sh*t actually works. Except it never quite works out the way you intended, does it? IP: Logged |

Sexually speaking, and this isn't by any means aimed at anyone. I've found that there's a lot of people who talk a big game and then don't quite deliver. Not to say that they are awful but more hype than ability. That's also just general personal experience, not about kink and whatever. Otherwise my whole life seems to be a wishing fest. I wish I was married and in love, yet wish I were single and alone. Wish I lived in the woods off the land. Wish I was near a city with people to talk to. It goes on and on and on. IP: Logged |

I think there's some subconscious things at work in all of this.For example, a witch kept doing spells to gain more money as she was always behind. It would happen, but then something would snatch it right away (in one case, her cat was mauled and the vet bill was exactly the same price as her cash windfall). She then focused on her "poverty mindset" and her spell finally worked without her losing it all (it worked so well that she got a retroactive raise for I think a year, meaning she got all that in her next check). I have done experiments and spells usually work for me, but prayer does not, in fact prayer often has the reversed effect (for this reason I don't pray for people, out of fear for their safety). Long story short, I believe that goes back to when I was 5. I tried to wake my hungover parents to feed me and was knocked across the room. Next time I use my own wits and make my own breakfast. But had I hurt myself accidentally as I did it myself (like fell off the chair I used and broke my arm) then I think spells would be as bad for me today as prayer. Had my parents lovingly made me breakfast then I think prayers would work for me today. One of the scariest I've heard of was someone who was sexually and emotionally abused in a fundamentalist home growing up, and she had expected God to protect her, but the universe doesn't work that way...and she was resentful, but also because people pressured her into silence, she somewhat repressed it. And then she converts to a new religion and her apartment is blessed with an icon...and soon after she's targeted by a serial rapist with the same name of the one in the icon, and essentially all her childhood abuse is experienced again in a short period of time as an adult while the rapist gets off as if divinely protected (much as her older relatives once did). I believe that had she not been so abused as a child (or had she come to terms with it rather than trying to repress it) that her adult experience would not have happened (in no way do I mean that it was her fault, rather that the childhood abuse had far greater effects than is currently understood, and it's weird how many in my PTSD support group endured abuse as little children who then experienced a related trauma as an adult, as if the abuse "echoed"). Of course prayer, spells, creative visualization and LOA, are pretty much all the same thing in a different package. IP: Logged |

In the guy running for the hills, that reminds me of a comic I was unable to find again. Essentially, one man tells his gay lover to talk down to him as he has sex with him, so he does...and it works so that the gay man doing the talking gets more creative and mentions how he's going to videotape it and send it his grandmother so she can know what a dirty little ***** he is and...next scene the man being talked to that way is in the shower griping about how he never felt so dirty the guy who had talked to him that way at his request sits frustrated and tells him next time to just make a script of what he wants to hear.

Thank you for your replies, guys!Diamondbaby, in a way, yes, it is about the law of attraction, however the topic is mostly about its epic fails lmao. From my side of things, regarding that guy, I wished for someone who's accomplished professionally, and he was - except he was a nazi about it and much too rigid (I don't know how many attempts are needed for me to learn Capricorns are a no go! lol). Orange, I'd like to hear the story about you and your Aries sometime, if you'd like to share. It sounds like it was a great one! Randall, I'm not surprised!
DopGang, Yeah, I think so too. Unless they're Virgo Marses those don't talk much but omg they're full of surprises! Anyways, it's not about sex, it could be about anything! That one had just happened to me and kinda shocked me a little because he gave me signals he was into that. I totally get what you're saying about wishing for extremes. Sometimes I think extremes are all I'm about. -_- Very hard to walk the middle path, very indeed. Or just make a choice and stick with it. I'd choose the city and keep a vacation house in the woods or near the sea. You can't have both at the same time. Pixie, thanks a lot for sharing that! Interesting story about your witch friend! That's something to ponder on. Prayer never worked for me either. One spell candle did, but another did not (I only ever did two), so not sure about those. Hypnosis seems to work best for me for changing my mindset, I've recently started to work with a shaman/therapist and the trances she put me on really paid off in that respect. I can relate to the abuse example, I had to relive mine a few times as well. Apparently that's how it's supposed to function, both to desensitize you regarding it, as well as make you react more healthily to it, until you get it right. This is one of the things that makes me raise my fist to the sky and yell f#ck you, Universe. Which I did, recently. This set of rules/laws/whatever seems rather unfair and pretty messed up if you ask me. It feels as if the Universe or whoever is about there is mocking us. LOL @the comic, but it's actually pretty realistic. Communication about sex is such a complicated matter sometimes. Especially under Mercury Rx, as I found out. IP: Logged |

I've never been able to *wish* anything.Wishing without action is dreaming, in my experience. I'd love it to be different, but I've never seen that path to take as yet. Perhaps I haven't earned it yet. IP: Logged |

I believe we only get those things we TRULY want but the thing is; we might not actually know what it is we want on a conscious level thus making us surprised and/or disappointed when we get things that don't match up. What I mean is this:Billy really wants (he thinks he wants this on a conscious level) lots of money. This is what he thinks and this is what he wishes for. Everyday of the week. Because he associates said money with a good way of life. But what Billy gets is a cat that was run over by a car outside his house. Now he cares for this cat because he doesn't have heart to leave it dying and SPENDS money doing so. So on a subconscious level Billy got something to nurture as opposed the the conscious level money, which is NOT what Universe/God thought he needed. Do I make sense? Probably not IP: Logged |

DM... omg, I "appreciated" your story. Been there.... PJ!! .. Again, thanks for that story. A long long long time ago, I had been in a PTSD trauma group too. I remember a comment that a leader made pertaining to each one of us (whom he knew quite closely, individually of course). He talked about the severe 'damage' to our safety-antennae (are my words). Said how (for example) if we were in a room with 20 people, and there was ONE perv in the room, how our 'inner' faulty guidance system would 'gravitate' to the perv. ... His advice was for us to be careful of the people we attract into our lives. That a faulty guidance system in us causes negative-ESP directions. This is why WE (who come out of a background of being abused) need some really really really trustworthy friends in our lives. People whom we can Trust WILL really 'watch our backs' with and FOR us. FEEDBACK is sooooooo important to listen to. _________________________ Aside: {{God, Give ME The Wisdom and security to KNOW that the choice and choices I look to make, will lead me OUT to a platform of SAFETY, and not be one to my peril and demise.....}} {{God protect EACH ONE who has gone through ordeals such as the persons here. }} Give us Courage, Clear Insights, and INFINITE Protection.

I have witnessed this in one form of another. What's really strange is the men and women who gravitate the exact kind they don't like while thinking all of the other gender is like the only kind they're ever attracted to. One guy I barely knew because he hated all females as lying ****** (apparently his mother was one), and dismissed us all as such, and he rudely rejected a friend of mine who had a crush on him...but when my friend had something of a nervous breakdown and became extremely unstable and promiscuous he was suddenly attracted to her, and as far as I know he wasn't even consciously aware of her change. Of course she became more "proof" about the perfidy of all women to him. This was despite guys telling him that he ONLY chose females like that, but in his mind it was all a random sample rather than he was attracted only to a specific kind (sometimes with what appeared to be psychic senses). And I've known women raised abused who would always find other abusers like their father, and it was like a spell they couldn't resist, and me and others telling them about the guy they were attracted to was neither normal nor good for her didn't work. Two of them even agitated a guy passed out (alcohol for one, meth crashing for the other) when I was trying to get her to stop (as I'd learned early in my childhood that you don't do that--guess I'm lucky I didn't wind up like them, but being punched across the room once was enough for me) and it was like they could not hear me, and after they finally got smacked, they acted all surprised and even tried to get sympathy from me. It's just bizarre. Best I can figure it, they're still trying to find a way to make a terrible parent love them, however disturbing it may be that they foist the role of terrible parent upon lovers. What would be really sad is if the dysfunctional lover DID somehow help one work through it, then that one might lose all interest in his or her lover. IP: Logged |

Interesting thought, and test of the commitment or bonds made. Would be terribly sad... It's just better if the Survivor can really truly get to the root and heal as completely as possible before entering the relationship -- especially a lifetime commitment one. Takes a lot of Love, Self-Love, Mutuality, Bravery, Support & Infinite Patience? Deep Love, willingness to work at it, and compatibility, for sure. {Oh! ~Got a song for that!! } (music) It's Gonna Take A Lot of Love (Neil Young, perf by Nicolette Larson) [3:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EERTY563_Zk IP: Logged |
