I found a shiny new quarter on the ground today. Just yesterday I had doubled in my mind what I wanted my income to be. I usually find lots of pennies. I'd visualized finding a quarter for awhile.... got a couple dimes, never the quarter until today.
I guess my point is, finding a small amount of change can be enough of a challenge in the mind. No one thinks badly of finding a penny, they may even look out for one because it is good luck. People take it for granted, so it seems that just about everyone finds pennies all the time and it doesn't break their reality because it's such a "small" amount.
But no one goes looking for quarters. When you find a quarter you're like "wow! I'm rich!" even though of course it's just a quarter, but in the context of only finding pennies, it's like a big deal. Now what happens when I start expecting to see five dollar bills on the street? Or going through some papers and see a hundred dollar bill slide out (see.. already I find it difficult to imagine finding such a large amount on the street)?
I have to be ready for that type of "payoff" for my beliefs, because like you said it goes against my conventional beliefs, wich means I would be uncomfortable.
But I'm comfortable with the Quarter. Maybe next I'll find a dirty crumpled dollar bill and won't feel so "guilty" because it will have bugs and sticky stuff on it.
