Getting the Message Part II: Connecting

As I mentioned in Part I, I am often delighted in what messenger the Universe chooses to bring me a message. One of the clearest ones came to me through, of all things, a romance novel!

I recently went on a book-buying binge, grabbing whatever struck my fancy. This included a book on Alexander the Great, some paranormal romance and detective novels, and some romance. The first one I chose to read was Best Laid Plans by Constance O'Day-Flannery, my favorite time travel romance author.

I grabbed that one because the back cover proclaimed, "The Yellow Brick Road Gang, formerly known as Metaphysical Misadventures in the Search for Enlightenment, was once just a book club. Now, they are a circle of friends...." My life is one big metaphysical misadventure after another, it seems, so I had to read this!

I was a bit surprised when our heroine meets up with some circling orbs in her kitchen one evening, not because I haven't done so, but because I haven't read such very often in popular fiction. When the orbs took the form of a buff, handsome human male, I was extremely jealous!

At one point, the male in question, Daniel, discusses manifesting in our lives. He tries to show the heroine, Cristina, how easy it is to do, if we trust that it will happen. He tells her to think of three objects before going to sleep that night. The next morning, she is to observe how those three things manifest.

I didn't need to play this game to know it works. I have been doing it here on Gather lately. I bought the book on Alexander the Great, and a few days later Lisa Westerfield published My Son, from the viewpoint of Alex's mother.

Someone asked in the title of another article which historical leader we would compare to George W. Bush.  Curiosity led me to read about Attila the Hun as a potential candidate. That night a program on TV talked about "The Real Attila the Hun." And, every time I get an idea for an article, or even a series such as this one, Gibbs Williams is writing something similar.

What's it mean? Only that by stating the wish to have something, you will. I'll get into the finer points tomorrow. For today, you can test it out yourself. Think of three things before going to bed and watch to see where they show up in your life. In the novel, Cristina found her spaceship in the morning news report, a snowman on the side of an ice cream truck, and monkeys in the décor of a house she was listing for her agency. Don't go searching for your items, just let them find you. That's the key, letting what you want happen, rather than trying to force it.

Keep your eyes and ears open, and let us know what happens! Then read on in Part III.

Note: I was asked a question that shows something I need to clarify. At this point the game isn't about wishing for something you want, just think of three items that you don't normally come across in your everyday life. By having those items show up in your normal day, you can see how it is possible to ask for something and get it. In the coming articles I will explain how to decide what you really want in life and how to get it.
