weird (adj.)

c. 1400,

• "having power to control fate", from wierd (n.), from Old English wyrd "fate, chance, fortune; destiny; the Fates," literally "that which comes,"

• from Proto-Germanic wurthiz (cognates: Old Saxon wurd, Old High German wurt "fate," Old Norse urðr "fate, one of the three Norns"),

• from PIE wert- "to turn, to wind," (cognates: German werden, Old English weorðan "to become"),

• from root wer- (3) "to turn, bend" (see versus).

• For sense development from "turning" to "becoming," compare phrase turn into "become."

/u/mindseal and I recently began discussing intention and manifestation and the "mechanism" behind it. We've moved our conversation to this thread so that others can hopefully share their thoughts and experiences.

But sometimes you may (optionally) want to deliberately limit your ability to decide if you notice you tend to decide haphazardly and carelessly at times (sometimes it only takes one bad decision to ruin something important), you may want to put a conceptual magickal "wall" between decisions and emanation so that only especially empowered decisions are allowed to affect something more than the body and the personal conscious mind.

Yes it's a good point that you need a buffer to avoid manifesting unintentionally. Sometimes you decide you want something but after letting it set in for a day or two you might change your mind.

That's also why imagination and thinking do not necessarily change manifestation. Only thought with intent to manifest has that power, not just any old random thought. I can think "let it rain" and I can think "let it rain" and intend for the rain to be my relative reality, and those two thoughts will "sound" the same in my mind, but the meaning is completely different and only the second one will manifest while the first one is just me thinking.

Thanks for adding an example to clarify this point.
