I think SO many people are getting the point of the LOA/Secret messed up. Too many people are getting caught up in semantics and splitting hairs with their thoughts; including the ORIGINAL author of the paragraph used in this thread.
All you have to do is focus on what you want most of the time and the universe will start to move in your favor. There is no message in te Secret that says, "If you want to manifest a glass of milk you must visualize whether it is goat or cows milk and whether its pastuerized or homogenized or both and how old it is and what color white it is." It says that if you want a glass of milk, just visualize and think positively about a glass of milk.
I see this on the Powerful Intentions forums all the time, that is people racking their brains with unecessary bouts with semantics. There is too many people getting caught up on the specifics of word selection and not focusing on the thought and feeling/emotion of having what they want. You just have to keep it simple and focus on what YOU want, because when you do, your wish is my command and so it is. Its not, "well, jane said I have to visualize every exact detail down to the molecular level if I want it to manifest and I have to use the exact words in a specific order to make it happen." Well, if she starts to believe that, then that is how it will be for her, that will become her reality.
One of the main messages of the Secret is that the Universe doesn't really care about speech or words, it cares ONLY what you think about the most and feel, thats it.
So in short, thinking of what you will do with the money after you win (to me at least) is NOT noticing you don't have any money. When you are thinking of what you will do with it (the money), you actually are pretending you have it already.
I see people on the Powerful Intentions forums talking about "Switch Words" and all other types of "semantic tools" (like they can trick the universe) and I am floored because they will end up racking their brians for nothing. Playing with the semantics is not necessary. You just have to focus on what you want most of the time, feel passionate about it, and be grateful for what you already have is the main message of the Secret. To quote a line from the dvd, "What you think about, you bring about" & "Your life is a physical manifestation of your thoughts."
(Yes, I have watched the DVD and listened to the Audiobook (Unabridged) more than I care to say here. And in doing so, I learn something new and understand something a little bit more, mentioned everytime.
I won't say I am an expert on it but I do see that a LOT of people must be watching or reading the book only once or twice and getting the wrong message. Even one of the admins over there (Marci From Maui) had to step in and tell people that the semantics are unecessary because the universe is listenening/responding to words, its respond to thoughts and feelings/emotions.
