Its hard to focus on the Tao when your not sure where your next meal is coming from.

And if you can’t focus, then you surely have no use for Intention-Manifestation and the Law of Attraction.

Our goal is to follow that road not create barriers and limits. If more money is something you want and will help you move to deeper levels it needs to be done. Its hard to focus on the Tao when your not sure where your next meal is coming from. If that new found money pulls someone from the path it isn't the money's fault. The person needs to take repsonsibility for being weak. There is nothing wrong with abundance and Godmind is limitless. Our goal is to follow that road not create barriers and limits.

Using it to become financially successful is recommended because its an easy way for people to measure whether or not it works for them. Whether it is skillful or not depends on the individual.

…And his death was not caused by his success but more his reaction to it and other environmental factors.

Another quote, this of unknown origin:
“While the common man fears the effect, the superior man fears the cause.”

of course intention manifestation is real. Everything that has ever been came from that. Everything from your kitchen stove, cars, cell phones, to your girlfriend initially were created with a thought from someone.

My question is not whether it is real, but whether it is skillful, in the context for which it is typically recommended (i.e. getting more stuff).

And his death was not caused by his success but more his reaction to it and other environmental factors. I-M theory is only based on emotional desperation when the person is not taking the required action to go towards their goal. I am well aware of Bruce Lee.

One might further argue that all fans of I-M theory are, by definition, operating from emotional desperation--the alternative being to accept things as they are, rather than intending them otherwise.
