What matters is not the idea a man holds, but the depth at which he holds it. ~Ezra Pound
I said this in a previous post and it bears repeating here. If I could experience this much joy and happiness worshiping a strawberry pop tart, then I would. Why am I joyous, because each and every day I get confirmation that the Law of Attraction is at work in my life.
I am on an interesting path to say the least. Someday the experiences I have had over the past few months I will be more than willing to share, but for now I must keep some things close to the vest. But it is these experiences that I have with regularity, that continue to reaffirm my belief that I am creating my reality, and physical, mental, spiritual, and yes financial wealth are all within reach.
One challenge I continue to struggle with, is allowing The Universe deliver in its own divine time, because in this microwave, on-demand society that we live in, I want it now, and when I don’t receive it when I want it, my mind begins to focus on the lack I am experiencing or the “wants” of my desire, and in the end, lack is what I end up ONLY experiencing, because once again thoughts become things and we attract more of what our dominant thoughts are about.
However, it is amazing how often I manifest some things in my life almost instantaneously. Every time I visit the library’s used book store, I don’t just find books that will interest me, I will find the exact books I have thought about, and desired and they only cost me $1.00.
For example, Joel Osteen’s best seller Become A Better You, I purchased this book from Sam’s Club for a pretty good discount months ago. I sent the book off to my dad in a care package after I read it and a few weeks later I came across something that inspired me to read the book again but it was no longer on sale at Sam’s Club, so my options were to either purchase it for the full price at Borders at $25, or order it through Amazon and wait. Well the next time I went to the library which was about a week later, lo and behold, there it was, sitting on the bookshelf for only $1.00 with the Borders price tag of $25 still on the back. The same thing happened with Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Live. While I was purchasing the book, a little old lady that was in the store told me she had heard of the book and wanted to buy it, but left it, because she knew it was meant for someone else. Just this last week during my last visit, a book I read about a book that was published in the 70’s. This would be a very obscure book to find in the Library book store, but there it was sitting there waiting for me and I had only been thinking about the book for just a day or so.
I manifest these books all of the time. Why? Because I don’t work at it, I don’t put so much effort into it. I see the books on line, or in a book store, or read about them somewhere and I just tell myself, “Wait, when the time is right it will be yours.” I then let it go, and they show up, almost immediately. In other words I am not busting The Universe’s balls over this issue, which is one of the most important part of the Ask, Believe and Receive tenets to my beliefs. When you believe and receive, you act in all faith that you already own it, and are grateful for it, and then just move on and allow The Universe to make it happen, and it does.
Just a brief update on my health before I sign off tonight. I have now gone a full week at work without the use of prescription pain killers and I am so grateful for this. I feel as though I again have some control over my life because I am not walking around in a stupor either first thing in the morning, or in the afternoon when I get home and so desperately need a nap. In fact, this last week after opening completely “drug free” I came home expecting to take a nap, and instead lay wide awake in my bed and watched the movie Reign Over Me (I give it 2.5 -3 starts out of 5) and did not go to sleep until it was time to do so at 10pm that night.
I want to thank you all for all your support, thank you all for your thoughts and concerns, thank you for all your prayers, thank you all for your wonderful comments and compliments that continue to lift my spirits today. I am grateful today for so many things, but I am most grateful for all those in my life who I love, and love me in return.
