This is a true manifestation story from my own life. It's a bit quirky, because I'm a bit quirky, and so is my life (as within, so without ;)), but it's a good illustration of spontaneous and effortless manifestation at work.
My daughter's school has a number of animals in the science room, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, and occasionally mammals (they had mice for a while, for example). During school holidays (which happen four times a year), the school asks for volunteers to take the animals home and look after them.
My daughter came home with a list of the animals that needed care for the upcoming holidays. I immediately was drawn to the green tree frogs. She, however, really loves the bearded dragons and wanted to try for them, so I said we could do that. Sent the form to school and didn't give it much more thought, and then we got a notice that the bearded dragons were going with another family, which was fine.
Yesterday, I got a call from the science teacher, saying the school had received an unexpected gift: more tree frogs! And the frogs needed a carer for the holidays, and were we interested. Of course, I said yes. Went to the school to see the frogs and the habitat and made arrangements for them to be transferred to a smaller one (for transport), and we'll be getting frogs early next week.
The key things here, I think, are that I was NOT ATTACHED to having any animals stay with us, but I was DEFINITELY INTERESTED in having green tree frogs. The combination of absolute interest/desire and detachment always works, from what I've seen. (I've also manifested live chickens that way, and a pond, and a red car, and a whole catalogue of other spontaneous manifestations.)
It is possible to manifest when you're very attached to something, because I've done it, but the attachment frequently causes more difficulty, more hassle, and complicates the manifestation (because it's energy tangled up in a particular knot or bundle, and it slows the energy that should be flowing to manifest). I do, totally, get how difficult it can be to detach from specific ideas and notions and so on, or to be attached to a specific way in which you want or expect something to be fulfilled, but it's worth the effort to dissolve and release as many attachments as you can find. Not only does it make spontaneous manifestation of desire a lot easier and quicker, it opens up a lot of general awareness and assists in spiritual growth.
Oh, one other thing I've manifested is a 9kg (20lb) weight loss in about a month. I won't say it was entirely effortless (I'd be at the doctor if I suddenly just dropped 9kg with no explanation!), but it's been pretty much painless and definitely pretty easy. Once the clear and obvious intention was set, I took a few small steps toward it, and I've been rewarded with a greater manifestation (of weight loss) than I would have expected the amount of effort to have produced. Maybe it's just a good program that agrees with me, but historically, weight loss has NOT be easy, or painless, or even especially effective, so... ;)
