Question for Adrian regarding book

[Stillwater]

Well, I will start out by saying that I have been a member of these forums for three years, and appreciate all the time and honest work ( not to mention funding) which Adrian has put into this medium, and have no qualm whatsoever with Adrian, and nor am I hear to make any absolute claims, as I'm not entirely sure I understand the subject at hand.

  As we all know, Adrian has released his new book, presumably for funding, and although you can usually sight a charlatan when he starts profiting, I don't believe that such are Adrian's motives, for although I have never met him in any way shape or form, I have seen enough to make a fair guess of his person.

  My question to Adrian is this: In the materials which you have so kindly made available to members via e-mail, you mention the idea of "manifestation" as a metaphysical ability. As I do not have a copy of your book, I cannot be sure what is particularly intended by this word, but for me it invokes the idea of physical materialization of previously non-extant objects, one of the known siddhis of Hindu yogis mentioned alongside projection. I was wondering what you intended this to mean; everytime I have heard such an ability mentioned, as it was several times in India recently, it turned out to be utter fraud, but I would not go so far in this case. Have you ever performed, witnessed, or born counsel to anyone who has displayed such an arcane feat? I am honestly curious to know. I do not doubt this is possible, but whenever someone claims to have performed this or other such acts, I must be discretely skeptical. Not in any bitter way at all do I pass this question, but only through arousal; Confucius was once asked why he never spoke of the divine, despite his copious wisdom In matters of state and ethics, and he replied by saying he spoke only of what he knew; it would be most snesible for a person to make claims in an area the are proficient in, and this is the basis of my question. It is quite alright if you only have knowledge of this area indirectly, but if you have ever had any run-ins at all, please share.

Whew!

Thank you,

Usually manifestation refers to something much less direct. You focus on what you want to appear in your life and send your intention out into the universe. The better you are it doing this consciously, the faster the response is. It can still take so long that you forget having done it. People do it all the time, but this is different because techniques help you to do it consciously and get results faster.

Since I haven't been able to buy Ardian's book yet either, I'm not sure if this is the same thing you are talking about. Several times (5 in the past 2 yrs.)
I have gone to Focus 12 and sent my request out to the whole universe.And
felt that the answer was provided. I'm talking about material things here.I
don't address this request to anyone in particular & I don't know or care really who provides; but provision does seem to come.

Yes Tom, that sounds like a logical proposition for what Adrian may have meant, and one I was considering myself, despite my uncertainty; paint seems to be describing a similar process as well.

I still await a reply, in silent anticipation.....
