The law of attraction written in most books does not explain a lot of the mechanics behind it. First of all you must believe without ANY doubt that what you want to manifest will. That you trust, no MATTER how it comes to you, that it will come. I just recently finished writing this in my 3rd book, a workbook. Your ego wants. A nice house, flashy cars, etc. A lot of people manifest from ego and then don't understand WHY it's not happening. As you said you have been specific. Have you? "We need 500.00 more a week to be able to comfortably provide shelter. If he could get some over time then we could easily make ends meet. Or I could get a part time job." etc. The how you get it isn't important but the WHY you want it is. ALSO it is all in DIVINE timing, not yours. I wanted a house. The apartment we had was too small and in a bad part of town. It took me 7 months of seeing it, meditating on the exact house, the surroundings, the interior, the layout. I finally made it happen though because I believed we already had it. Hope that helps
