Manifesting Experiment 5 is still in draft which basically means that I don't feel "inwardly" that it is fully ready for public consumption yet...which is why the instructions for it might seem a little vague compared to the others.

I put it up there because I think there's enough people on IQ now who understand these manifesting ideas to be able to figure out what ME-5 is trying to achieve without me needing to spell it out in detail before I'm ready...and it didn't seem fair to torture them into waiting unnecessarily until I was happy with it myself :)

If you've understood the ideas behind the previous experiments, you'll find that ME-5 is just the natural next step to systematizing these ideas even more. Just by following the step-by-step instructions for a few mornings, it should start to "click" how it works.

Because I'm still playing with these ideas, I'm not really in a position to commit to a full worked example for you yet. But maybe someone else who has tried it may offer one.

As for what is a root cause and what is a secondary cause, I tend to think of root as being the ultimate answer to the question "Why Don't I Have What I Want Yet?".

It's similar to running out of "Why?" reasons when probing a belief. For what I mean by this, see the comments to A new perspective to identifying limiting beliefs?

As for when ME-5 will come out of draft, that will probably once I've got a satisfactory electronic approach for it which makes it super slick and easy to use, which then allows me to apply it easily during many different life situations. (ME2 - Focus Blocks, in electronic form, has gone through this level of "testing" in my own life and continues to deliver results)

And when will that electronic approach be ready for use?

Well, I kind of have one already actually - but it still needs work.

I've been gradually evolving my vibrational spreadsheet (the one that powers Focus Blocks in my life) into a system that integrates ME-1 (Manifesting Box), ME-2 (Focus Blocks) and ME-5 (Daily Tune-Up) reasonably well.

I've added massive amounts of code to it since the original Focus Blocks spreadsheet was released but the problem is now that the spreadsheet is so staggeringly complicated to use - because Excel was never designed to be used like this - that it is basically unusable by anyone but me.

Even I need to keep looking back at the actual VBA macro source code to remind myself how to use it if I'm away from it for more than a few days.

For that reason, I'm not going to be releasing this "super spreadsheet" to the public. It's going to create far too many problems for me in trying to explain to others how it works and also in trying to provide fixes and upgrades if bugs are found.

Instead I've started on something I've been meaning to do for a long time now...I've gradually been putting into place a system that will eventually integrate ME-1, ME-2 and ME-5 on the web, so you can run it in a web browser wherever you are and have your data stored centrally in the "Cloud". And it will use all the ideas that work well in my current "super spreadsheet" but in a much easier to use way.

I don't have a timescale for when this will be ready yet but it's definitely coming because I'm building it for myself, first and foremost, because ME-1 and ME-2 especially are so integral to my own life.

And, being web-based, it's not much harder to extend something that can be used by just one person into something that can be used by many, many others as well.

I'm gradually molding it all (vibrationally) and every few weeks another piece of the jigsaw for this online vibrational molding system falls into place.

I'll have to see how it goes :)
