| Orange Cars Make Me Laugh |
Something I’ve learned lately is that there are a lot of orange cars in my section of the planet. Maybe that doesn’t seem like much to you, but as part of my recent experiment, it means a lot to me.
Frustrated with life, I reached out to a friend who
referred me to the book E-Squared (only $2.99 for the Kindle
version), which is all about manifesting what we want into our lives. This
subject isn’t new to me. I’ve been studying it off and on for years. It seemed I needed a refresher though and this book was perfect.
Now I’m not usually one to focus on material items. I have
always been nonchalant about money, which in some ways has been my downfall. Anyway, when I read the first assignment, I decided to work
on manifesting orange cars into my daily routines.
Yeah, yeah, there’s that old argument about whether or not
I’m “manifesting” them or just bringing my attention to what was already there.
Either way works for me.
I had two days to count the number of orange cars I saw. The
first time I went for a drive after reading the book, I laughed so loud my son
asked me what was funny. An orange car had pulled up next to me within about
two minutes of getting on the road.
Over the time frame of the experiment, I really didn’t see
that many orange cars; two or three at most. However, since the end of my allotted two days, I continue to see about one orange car a day, and it’s never the same one. I
live in a small town and pretty much stick to the same schedule from day to day
which makes that fact a little more convincing to support the theory that yes, I
do create my reality.
Since reading the book, other interesting things have come
into my life.
A separate exercise was to choose something material I
wanted to gain ownership of in my life. I decided I wanted to manifest a new wardrobe. I wasn’t all
that clear about what I wanted because part of me didn’t believe I could make
it happen. So I tried focusing on the feeling I would have if I did receive a bundle
of new clothes.
After a few weeks, I forgot about the clothing. I didn’t
want to feed any negative energy into disbelieving it. At the same time though,
I kept seeing those orange cars. And I started finding change on the ground
again. (Since this is all part of my little experiment, I never pass by a stray penny.)
About a week ago, my husband went into the garage to get
down the Christmas decorations, so I asked him to see if there were any bins of
clothing up in the rafters. (By this time, my wardrobe experiment had been “put
away” in my mind.) He handed three bins down to me. As I opened each one, I
found piece after piece of clothing I hadn’t seen in several years, some of it
still with tags on it. I was so excited, I found myself thinking it’s just
like getting a new wardrobe. Ding, ding, ding! Experiment results had come
in. I had manifested my desire. And the universe delivered in an unexpected way
which made it even more fun.
There is much more to this philosophy, I agree.
(Because I know that’s what you’re thinking, right?) What about crime victims
or people with “bad luck”? That goes much deeper and is a subject for a whole other blog post.
For now, every time I see another orange car, I remember
that I am creating my reality, and then I check in with myself to see whether I’m
attracting a positive or a negative existence.
What about you? What are you manifesting in your life?
