The Power of Manifestation

neongardener2 said:But I'm wondering, if this is all just total nonsense like people say, how do you explain people's actual experiences that seem to back up what's in The Secret and stuff? Like, people who actually got what they wanted?
For example, my own experience when I was terrified of a specific situation and then it happened in real life exactly word-for-word how I imagined it. Or even a wish I had that came true perfectly, which I don't really want to get into here either.
They say the more specific the wish, the faster it happens. Like, I pictured someone saying a specific sentence, and then it actually happened just like that.
So, how would you explain that?
p.s. Ever since I stopped believing in coincidences and started noticing little signs and patterns, I see numbers like 111 or 222 almost every single day (your post was kind of symbolic too, maybe, since it was 1111). Or I'll be thinking about some random topic and then suddenly see an article about it in the news or on TV that same day. There was also this one time during an interview process. There was this show on, doesn't matter what, and my mom tells me, "Hey, that might be a question they ask you" (just general knowledge stuff). Then I get to the interview and the very first question is exactly what she predicted. Even with my boyfriend, we'll call each other at the exact same time or think the same thing.
So, what is all that? How do you make sense of it?
I second everything said above. Besides, if books and philosophies like those suggest that positive thinking is a powerful force in daily life, I really don't see any harm in it, actually...
