Law Of Attraction: Gwen's Reminder to Be Careful What You Ask For

Hello Misty Valley friends!!  Gwen here with an adventurous tale about the Law of Attraction.

I love Law of Attraction. I've studied it a lot. I've manifested many, many things quite successfully. In fact, many times, I look back at things/people/etc who arrive in my life and think, "Wow! I asked for that and it arrived!" Usually that manifested when in my head I thought, "I need ___________" then tend to forget about it full stop because it was just a random thought that I didn't really focus on terribly hard.  Sometime thereafter it arrives in perfect (or nearly perfect form. Often I forgot I even asked until I see the item.  Sometimes I am guided to go to a store, othertimes the object is given to me unexpectedly. 

I'm an avid reader and a life long student, so whenever the chance to practice arrives in a slightly different way, method, etc. I will eagerly try.  I fell in love with Abraham-Hicks, Pam Grout, Tess Whitehurst and so many others! 

In a magical online class I am part of, our weekly assignment, which followed a nice discussion of Law of Attraction, was to manifest a cookie. Make it fun, easy.  Think about how it would taste, how we would enjoy having it. You know, not "how it would arrive" and not "who would give it to us." But "acting as if it were already ours."  I'm paraphrasing and adding in little bits of information (I love how every teacher adds a new aspect or fills in a new piece to the puzzle of our knowledge).

​Well, off I go on the assignment. 

Here's a rough recount of my thought process.  This is where the magic happens people.

A cookie, huh? Hmm.... 

Cookies are good. They taste really good.

But I don't want a cookie! I'm trying to release weight. I already eat enough sweets.  I don't need more calories. I can already manifest enough on my own.

I don't want a cookie. I know she said we could get something else. But, I don't want a cookie.

Well.....

Maybe I could manifest a cookie and not have to eat it. 

You know, a cookie that could just sit there and I didn't feel forced to eat it.  (I see an image of a hot cookie sitting on a counter, not on a plate, totally unprotected)  Oh that looks really good.  And it can just sit there. I don't need to let it get near me. Ok. So, sometimes I lack willpower to resist the magic of a really good cookie. Yucky cookies are easy to resist. Sheesh! A good soft, gooey cookie, right out of the oven... 

SHIT! Stop thinking about the cookie, Damnit!

Gooey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I can see the heat rising, the chocolate all gooey as the cookie is broken by 2 hands)

NO! No cookies. I do not need cookies. (the heat stops and the cookie looks cold and dejected.)

So, I move on.  I do other things. I keep driving to my destination. I go on with work. 

On and on through out the week I think occasionally about our assignment.  

More thoughts: 

I need to manifest something! 

Well, what do I want?

I don't want anything. I don't NEED anything. My mind is naturally blank.
(I've been practicing this as it helps me spend less money and stay focused on my budget and align with Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace principles.

Cookie................................

Mmm... maybe I could manifest a cookie. BUT! It HAS to be a cookie I don't eat.

So, I move on again and repeat this process over the next several days. Always sort of seeing the cookie cold and dejected on the counter. I feel how important it is to put distance between us.

You see, I'm a dancer and I will be performing in the near future. I love my body as it is and I also want to be a more muscular, svelte and athletic.  I do enjoy cookies every so often, and I do not deprive myself of desserts ever! However, I really wanted to find a way to manifest something that would better align with my dessert and athlete strategy. But I just COULDN'T get there. I couldn't figure out what I wanted only that I saw my hand out stretched keeping that damn cookie away from me.   I never once saw myself eat it, nor enjoy it, nor taste it. I always clearly felt the disconect between it and my body. Never once did those molecules touch, torture, nor add fat to my body. 

For God's sake, Gwen! It's ONE cookie. 

Yet, here in lies my power. 

Yesterday, I went with my family to see Rogue One. We all love watching SciFi together. It was such a feel good day.  We got seats together, everyone got a recliner, the movie was good, everyone was getting along. Are you sensing that I'm in MY VORTEX that Abraham Hicks talks of?  I was in complete alignment with my life and circumstances. 

After the movie, I had to go to the bathroom really badly. I raced in. As I'm walking in I see 2 long rows of something like 40 stalls!  No lack of places to use.  

My Guides through Clairaudience: "Use this one" and point me to the first bathroom stall. 

Me: Ok fine. Whatever. I'll use the first one.  It's not like there's some lack or anything. What strange and special thing will come out for me in the stall? Will I reach some sort of enlightenment? 

I walked into the first stall and erupted into laughter. And would have sudden random bursts of laughter throughout the day. Who in their right mind would believe the cookie I manifest if I don't take a photo of it. I have no interest in photographing toilet stalls, this was my one exception. 

All I could see was some little kid being brought into the bathroom by his mom. She's urgently trying to get him through the whole bathroom experience.

C'mon pee. Sit on the potty. No, don't play with the toilet paper.
Samson!  Get over here. No, don't say hi to the people in the next stall. Don't look under there!
Let's go. You needed to go potty. 
Put your cookie down! Thank you!

...and when all done... 
No! you cannot take it with you.

Truly, what are the chances? 

What's really funny, I always saw the cookie on the corner of a smooth, pale blue counter. While the corner was facing me and this corner of the toilet is facing away, the cookie is on a smooth surface, not on a plate and DEFINITELY in a place where I do not have to, nor do I want to, nor would it be sanitary to eat said cookie. 

There. I did it. I manifested exactly the kind of cookie I wanted. HA! 

Bwa ha ha ha ha!
