Maybe wishful thinking won't help, Ken. But unbending intent definitely can, especially when doneArchived Message

en masse: this is demonstrable and replicable to unusually high scientific standards of experimental investigation. The ancient ideas of magic (practical psi techniques, in the modern lexicon, as Dean Radin's latest book, 'Real Magic' makes clear) are getting vindicated by science, and it's associated dominant world religion of our time - scientism; though of course the hyper-materialist sectarians amongst the scientismists dispute this, poor emotionally-hag-ridden dawkinsoid sods as they are.
This is why, though feeling too infirm now to be much practical use for anything any more, I still do my long-established daily practice of unbending-intent seances, to induce whatever widow's-mite of help I can contribute. Just a useless-eater, otherwise.
Interestingly, one of the items of interest uncovered by psi-research is that when enough people are driven into synch by some major shock or panic - as now - this phenomenon of the power of unbending intent is pushed into a synchronised wave of effect. So - by all means keep on wishful thinking; but remember to imbue it each time you do with a fierce, unbending determination that it is to be so; and then, as an extra bonus, harvest the famous (amongst parapsychologists) 'cessation-of-effort effect', by letting it go, as your determined act of will reaches its crescendo. Conclude the session, get up, walk about, think of something else. (Remember Dion Fortune's famous definition of magic: "The art of creating changes in consciousness in accordance with the will." It's the organised and maintained state of consciousness that causes - sic! - the physical world to follow suit.)
Rinse and repeat as many times per day as you can manage, even if the follow-ups are just a quick repeat of a one-line affirmatory mantra - aka a spell! - as often as the subject slips back into focussed attention during the waking day. You'll find too that you can slip back momentarily into the altered state of consciousness which you find your way into when doing the daily extended work sessions. This becomes more and more fluent and instantaneous with practice. Eventually, all open-minded practitioners seem to reach that fabulous "My god! This is REAL!!" moment. The accumulated track-record of paranormal effects simply becomes unignorable; no longer susceptible to 'normal coincidence' explainaways.
The detectable effects created by the averagely-gifted practitioner are usually quite modest; but always worth creating, especially when afflicted by a sense of helplessness in all other directions. And, as I don't need to remind you, Ken: "Mony a mickle maks a muckle!" - the noo!
