A world teeming with coincidences

The Knittee brought a cuddly bee. It's soft and sweet and I simply love it. I can't help it, but I do have a soft spot for soft toys. Funnily enough, since that happened I seem to be surrounded by bees. They gather on all the flowers I want to shoot, which I think is very cute. Law Of Attraction at it's best.

If you start looking for evidence it's really not that hard to see. Wherever you go you will encounter the things that resonate within you. The other day I listened to Abraham in the car, when the guy who sat in the hot seat asked, if men could deliver babies. If the universe had the wherewithal to manifest every desire it creates, something like this should be possible too. Just at that moment I drove past an advertisment with a pregnant "woman" - only you couldn't see if it really was a women. The picture only showed her belly.

And yesterday the door on the driver's side of my car got scratched. It's a bit annoying. My car is not a virgin anymore and the cosmetic surgery to pretend it was would cost more than the appearance would justify. Anyhow, this morning I listened to Abraham, when Esther told a story about her and Jerry getting back to their car only to find that someone had scratched it.

I wonder what would happen if I ran around with a sticker stating "I LOVE MONEY".

Can you smell the pine trees?

Yesterday I experienced a wonderful, immediate manifestation. I always liked scented oils and used these cute little oil burners to enjoy the various fragrances. While lying on the yoga matt some days ago, my senses where spoiled by a whiff of orange and I remembered how much this scent always lightens up my spirits. So the first thing I did when I got home was to reactivate the big burner I have at home.

But I also thought this would be nice to have in my office again. I used to have one, but after it was broken I never replaced it. There was a time when they were so popular, that every person had at least one to spare because people were showered with them as gifts. Not anymore. I wouldn't even know where to buy one, nor did I have the time to stroll through the citiy and look for them. So I postponed the idea, knowing that I would stumble across one finally.

Yesterday a co-worker of mine unpromptedly asked me if I liked the scent of pine trees. Little did he know that this is one of my favorites when I go to Merryland. There are two places where you can smell them quite intensely, and I always take in a deep breath when I ride my bike there. So of course my answer was yes. Before I knew it there was this cute little light burning in my office giving off the wonderful aroma of pine trees.

That was quick and effortlessly.

Answer From The Universe

Yesterday it happened again. I had a strong desire and the universe took immedate action. Lately the knittee is very busy researching technical details on cameras and he told me about this very tempting one that soon became an object of my desire. Of course it comes with a correspongingly imppressive price tag. But knowing that the "how" is not my job, cause it will be taken care of by the universe, while I need to concentrate on my wish and the allowance part, I printed out the image of the said camera to stick it onto my vision board.

My next move was submitting pictures to a photography contest. At least that was my intention. But I stumbled upon a category that I had neglected before. It came with an entry fee, and so I had excluded it from my mind. Also because the prize was a camera, and at that point of my journey I was focused on additional sources of income in order to finance the frequent journeys between two continents. Wait a second...... the prize was a camera? Yes, you are right. A camera. THE very camera I am desiring. What a prompt reply of the universe.

Needless to say that I sorted through my pictures the same evening and entered this category just now. They asked for a body of work comprised of 10 pictures. I've seen very stunning images so far, and a video interview with the jurors, in which they offer their recommendations for every applicant. Some statements were disheartening, while others stated the total opposite. So I followed my heart and focused on those that would encourage everyone who felt the call to participate.

In my selection I concentrated on the theme that allways makes me forget the time. The beauty of flowers. I am a very intuitive photographer, I follow my whims and inner voice. I opened my files and exposed the pictures that are closest to my heart. So it's up to the universe now to decide, if this camera is an important step on my journey. Although I know that the universe does not need any assistance in order to fulfill a wish, a bit of cooperation on my part doesn't hurt either. ;-))).

Lucid Dreaming - It's All About Vibration

Last week I had a remarkable dream. I was window browsing with my mother on THE strip mall in our city’s epicentre of the homosexual community. It’s a very nice area to do any kind of shopping: fashion, esoteric books, decoration, wellness articles, you name it, they have it. So there was nothing very unusual about sauntering there – if it wasn’t for the fact, that I was lesbian in my dream. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. (Btw, did you see that Seinfeld episode in which they assumed that Jerry was gay? LOL)

I have several friends, who are bisexual or gay, and it lead me to believe that we fall more in love with a person rather than a gender. Although I also see that most people have a preference and are aware of it most, of us are born with a mix of typical male and female character traits. Anyhow, my mom had told me some weeks ago that secretively she was very happy, that I hadn’t turned out to be homosexual. This coming from her, one of the most accepting and tolerant persons I know, was quite a surprise. She explained a bit apologetically, that through her education and her generation she had been so conditioned and brainwashed, that she would have had a problem with that. Consequently I found myself in a tight spot in that dream. I desperately hoped she would not catch up on my sexual orientation in the midst of all these rainbow colored vibes.

When I awoke I pondered over this dream a lot. How could it be that I knew I was a lesbian? There was no visible evidence to prove it. I didn’t have a girlfriend at my side, nor did I have one at that time. A detail I also just “knew”. Don’t we all have dreams in which we are aware of certain premises without the visual appearance of this information? I simply “feels” like this is true. So obviously, to make something real in a dream doesn’t require any evidence materialized in the physical form. As long as we are a vibrational match to the idea, it is regarded as solid fact. In my dream I was even aware of the power of vibration, since I was afraid to give myself away by radiating this particular wave of energy.

So if it is not necessary in a dream for any idea to be represented in the matter, in order to make it a tangible truth, then my mind should be trained enough to perform the same trick in my so-called waking state. Tons of time I had dreams in which I knew, that I was in the house of someone, although it looked totally different? Or I found myself involved with a former relationship partner although he was absent in my dream. We are masters of creating a certain vibration when it comes to our sleeping hours. So I should be able to use this mechanism in my “real” life as well, since to our consciousness there might not be such a big difference anyway. Maybe that’s what lucid dreaming is all about in the first place. Not to be the director of our dreams is the goal, but to be the producer of our life. And as we all know by law of attraction, we will cause things to appear in the physical form, as soon as we emanate the right vibration.

It’s all about vibration and perception. In this picture for example I changed the colors – which are by definition different wavelengths of light, thus vibration – so that it looks like the bottom of the sea. Would you have thought that “in truth” it is moss on a stone?

It's all about vibration

Today the knittee and the knitter will reunite happily again. My, I am so excited. This cross Atlantic relationship is so rewarding. Plus it makes me grow on an infinite amount of levels. But the best part is the fun and how good it makes me feel. Obviously I must emanate some sort of vibration about it. The following incident really doesn't make sense otherwise.

I had ordered some herbal tea at an onlineshop during the soccer Worldcup. I am not partial to soccer at all, but the rest of this country is very serious if not even religious about it. So I wasn't surprised to find a freebie in the package, that was comprised of a sweatband and an artificial flower chain - both in the color of the flag -, and even a tea with a soccer related label. A little whistle, a pink thingy, which possible uses still elude me, and a key band rounded off the set. Maybe they were out of black-red-yellow keybands, but why on earth would they replace it by one from a country that is only of little consequence regarding this sport? But take a look and see for yourself, which country they picked:

The USA of all possible choices. Not only that this is in resonance with my wonderful and miraculous relationship, but the knittee actually IS an athlete in a discipline that leads an underdog life in the US, while it's highly in fashion over here. Veeeeery interesting!

Focusing

This morning is was listening to an Abraham workshop and they mentioned the phrase "turn the other cheek". Don't worry, this is not going to be a highly religious post - lol. But it made me wonder, since I had chewed over that phrase a lot as a child, when I used to go to church every Sunday. Why would Jesus want us to have our other ear boxed as well? I wondered. Wasn't it enough to have been beaten once? What purpose would this achieve?

When I heard the line again this morning, I had an epiphany. Maybe it was only meant metaphorically - like almost everything else he said, haha, big news - and not directing us into a passive state of mind, letting the other one treat us ill. What if it was a hint for us to change our perspective and view the situation - and the opponent - from a different angle. Focusing on the aspects we like and that would make us feel good. By law of attraction we would receive only, what we deliberately concentrate upon. Thus we might be able to love our enemies, if we find something about them, that we appreciate.

Things like that happen to me all the time. I had a strong dislike for certain dialects, but whenever I met someone reaaaallllly nice, who happened to be from that region, the queer pronunciation grew on me and I started to associate a lot of positive things when I met other people from that part of the country as well.

How fatal that Jesus seems to be mostly misunderstood by those, who claim to preach the gospel. But I won't focus on THAT! I rather practice to turn the other cheek. ;-)))))

Creating and Co-Creating

A funny thing happened. On Sunday I visited with my friend in her beautiful garden. We talked about this and that and all of a sudden she complained about the outrageously high gas prices these days. Since I am reading the teachings of Abraham by Esther and Jerry Hicks at the moment, I was well aware of my emotions entering a downward spiral of feeling quite helpless about this situation. But instead of jumping on that train I said: "Well, then let's create a different situation. Did I tell you that the gas prices have dropped so much, that they're below 1.20 again?"

"Well that's not what I've heard," she said, and I thought, ok, now we're back on the stoney tracks of hard facts again. But to my utter surprise she continued: "They are even lower. And on top of that they stopped that silly ,9 cent thing, that is ever so irritating and misleading anyhow."

With delight I joined in, telling that the downward trend in gas prices would always be followed by good deals on plane tickets as well. Immediately I felt my feelings shift from unease to light-heartedness and joy. So I basked in that emotion, thankful that my friend, whom I never told anything about the Law of Attraction program, had returned my playful ball of creative daydreaming.

Although I know, that the Law of Attraction is a very powerful one if not the most powerful one in the whole universe, one thing really caught me by surprise the very next day on my way to the "playground" (which some people with limited imagination skills refer to as "the office" btw). As I drove by the gas station I noticed that the prices had dropped by more than 10 cents. I texted my friend this good news, and on the following day the prices went down again. They haven't stopped this silly .9 cent thingy yet, but we are working on it, so I guess they soon will. ;-)))).

PS: By the way, did I tell you that I won a huge price in a photo contest, my soul mate earned 200.000 $ this year, and they're coming up with cars now that wouldn't need gas at all?

Law Of Attraction

What interesting events in these past days. Amazing miracles are coming my way again. So it's hard to keep up and write everything down. But yesterday really took the biscuit. I'm afraid I need to go back a bit - as usual - in order to make myself understood. :-)

On my last but one visit to Merryland in April I bought this book about the Law Of Attraction called "Ask and It Is Given". It's a beautiful read and very insightful and empowering. I can only highly recommend it. I also watched the movie "The Secret" again, which inspired me to do another vision board for my job in particular and my life in general - since I regard myself as a whole being, so focusing on just one aspect of my very diverse life seems so limiting. One impulse to do so originated in the wish to create additional and alternative sources of income, in order to pay my travels to Merryland and to spend more time with my beloved Knittee.

During my last travel to Merryland in June I bought a knitting magazine because I fell in love with a sock pattern. I was also attracted to a scraf, that was shown in there, and assumed that the pattern was included as well. I was wrong, it was only an interview with the designer.

While I was browsing the craft magazines, the beloved Knittee was leafing through the digital art section, when he stumbled across an ad for a photo competition offering the prize of 10.000 $ cash. At first I thought, I would never win in such a contest, but then I realized how restrictive this thought was, and I immediately set it straight. I made a picture of the ad with my blackberry, and went to the site when I got back home. I already entered one picture, but I am allowed to upload even more pictures, which I will do shortly. But first I wanted to do some more research on other competitions, and I found a few that are also interesting. So I want to spread my good stuff a bit. ;-). Anyhow, this seemed to be the perfect way to open a door for the universe to grant me more income without having anyone die and leaving me a huge heritage. The latter idea is one, that I don't want to fancy in order to make any profit. I am sure you would agree.

I was very pleased that this opportunity was connected to Merryland. What a nice full circle it will be to spend the money, that will arise from that source, for the purpose of traveling back to the geographic origin.

The vision board was decorated with the picture in question, but I wanted to do more. One interviewee from the movie "The Secret" mentioned that he had created a check to be payable to himself with the amount of money he wanted to attract. So I thought I would do just the same, to set another stimulus and to beat my own drum for well-being a bit louder.

After printing out some check pictures, I logged in at a knitter's community to find the above mentioned scarf pattern, when I saw that I had two messages waiting from me. It was very funny, as the knitter-friend who had sent them was once in a business related contact with the designer in question. Not only that, but in her photo album I saw, that she had knitted the very scarf I was looking for. Law of attraction.

But not only that. The content of her mail was even more surprising, as she offered me a small job. I would be able to participate in a project that could grant me another ticket to Merryland. What a spontaneous reaction of the universe. How powerful and direct my wish was answered. How brilliant is that? Cool beans and over the top brilliant, I would say. ;-)))

Namaste
