Title: card practice
Post by: wow_nonamesleft on September 17, 2007, 14:13:52
 I was wondering of ways to practice my intent, which is magic to me although its very vage, also intent may not be magic so correct me...

So if I were to play cards with others or myself and practiced for awhile on trying to get a card I want or around its area, would that actually work on making my intentions happen more often?

So im playing uh.. blackjack
I get a 6 of hearts and a 4 of diamonds, I'll be trying to get an ace to make it 21.
or
just want to get 21 right off the bat.

or any game for that matter, like monopoly(in that case I'd be trying to get like boardwalk)

This is just a easy way for me to practice intent, while it being much more closer to happening.

The cards have energy, similar to tarot cards.  If you focus on the energy of the card and not just on the number and suit alone, it will make your experiement stronger.  For instance, for the 10 of hearts, you can focus on love and fullfillment (spoof off of the 10 of cups tarot card), and you can attract the energy by like attracting like, and the card will come up.

I think you would have to place the intent of the entire game well before you started playing. Once the cards are shuffled, intent can't move the placement of a single card. The only way to do this type of thing is to read the tells of the other players and learn to count cards, which any casino can recognize who is doing. If your real good, you can influence the other players to make bad decisions without them knowing it.

Of course, none of these methods have anything to do with real magic - it's how stage magicians do card tricks.

If you really want to practice intent with some awesome results, intend a situation in your life. Maybe meeting new people, a new skill, improving an old skill, - something outside the norm of your regular life, and see if you can manifest it as effortlessly as possible. Instead of just winning a game, you can improve your life.

I figured winning a game would just be easier and faster to see results but your suggestion is a good one, I probably should just cut the middle stuff and focus on actual life instead
