Not sure what type of site editing would be necessary to make blocked posters posts disappear from view, but am sure that Dragon and I aren't the only two who would love to have that function available. For those interested in forum subject only it would be a good method to set sermons aside and be able to get down to the meat of the subject.
I apologize to any forum members (fundamentalists excluded) whom I may have offended by going off topic in order to qualify posts for better understanding, and defending my comparison for having stated things in the manner in which I did.

People are frightened by horror stories about those who have plunged into the psychic realm, who have reached out for any contact to instantaneously prove there might be something out there, only to find out that they have not adequately protected themselves with the light and benevolence of God prior to beginning. By diving off the deep end, what they will come into contact with is the lowest common denominator which will likely be an earthbound spirit of a deceased who has not gone into the light, or a negative energy form created by someone of lower consciousness ... both energy forms looking for a host to sap the life force from as its own sustenance. Programs like "Buffy", "Charmed", "Tru-Calling" along with many current movies all have a thread of truth running through them to which heed should be paid.
Another factor is that if we create with lower thoughts such as hate, jealousy, revenge, anger, or to force our will upon another sentient adult ... then by the very nature of those thoughts we have created negativity, which draws more and more negativity to us in a never ending downward spiral. Time honored cautions about engaging in this behavior have always been correct.
It is always prudent to be in a prayerful state of mind before beginning any kind of either meditative (to see numbers) or creative (to create a future occurrence in which you win big) to call upon angels, call upon higher beings for guidance and protection before beginning. Mentally surround yourself with light ... the simple intent that you're surrounded is all you need to begin.
As far as the direction of focus that your consciousness goes .... it is always inward to your consciousness, then lift your consciousness upward .... this direction being the direction we know as the way to God or the higher realms of the universe where finer and finer frequencies of light exist. Each person has a different experience regarding what they see, feel, smell, etc., because each of us perceives through different senses.
Doing the above two paragraphs is the accepted correct and protected direction for either meditation or creative visualization.
Think we can all remember when we were preschoolers in our own world playing, with the rest of the world totally obscure from our awareness. Borrowing from what KWHILBORN said about children being closest to God ..... also remembering my own childhood .... I believe kids for the most part live in alpha state while pretend playing with toys.
I also believe that stresses we experience today are exacerbated by failing to allow ourselves to experience alpha which is restful. But hey, we have way too much to do and keep running on life's treadmill. Consider this .... if there is a tedious job ahead of us and we take a few minutes (although time is pressing) to visualize the job as already done then 99.9999% of the time it gets done perfectly in record time as if there were no challenge to it at all.
Same holds true by visualizing having already seen lottery numbers before beginning to try to intuit them.
Also in so far as visualizing for money, that is totally acceptable however place no limits on the amount you visualize because by placing limits, you are limiting the amount the universe can bring to you. Find an amount believable to you and create a scenario of your already having it .. in your mind see, feel, smell, experience having to its fullest. Give thanks for blessings about to be given and release the thought completely and forget about it. This process can be repeated as many times as you feel like doing it until you're tired of doing it (actually "wearing it out" by repeating it works best) then it is very easy to let go and not think about again.
Gradually expand the amount of money you're visualizing yourself having because in doing so you are also increasing the number of ways it can be brought to you. Continue on with your normal day to day life and budget for that life not obligating yourself financially for anything you do not physically in real time have the money for. However, continue with your clearly visualization for whatever amount you have chosen, framing everything in the positive.
There is no set time frame for any of this to work so we're not working with a 1-2-3 formula, and it is solely dependent upon the amount of energy you give it, faith that you have been understood, and belief that the highest and best things for your life are being created.
It is also prudent to visualize as already having won the money as if it is just in the past because if you visualize winning it in the future you are creating a situation where money is always just out of reach ..... carrot leading the donkey metaphor here.
Regarding any of the visualization work you may consider always aim for the greater good of all concerned which aligns your intent with divine will. Can't get any better than that. Also be very simple in what you visualize, complexities belong in the logical mind which is not a part of creation. Your mental picture needs to be as simple as possible, period.... in order to get the job done.
Synchronisities some refer to as miracles happen. The most recent was Emily's being lead to a $50 bill on the ground as she posted previously!!! She listened to the voice within herself as to what to do, where to go ... she followed through and honored what she felt .... which is what we're supposed to do in the first place. WTG, Emily!!!!
Another thing is that you are not a failure if you don't win Mega Millions or Power Ball $200 million dollar jackpots. You may only win Cash 3, but that is a clear indicator that you're headed in the correct direction so keep going at it. You may find pennies on the ground which is also a message you're headed in the correct direction. Just because something isn't dropped in your lap like you wanted it to be doesn't mean the concept of visualizing doesn't work and should be scrapped. No telling what wonderful thing you may co-create because you're limited by your imagination, but you'll never know unless you try. Good luck!
