I considered adding this to What Have You Manifested Recently? but thought the discoveries made merited their own post.

Here is what I discovered...

I am no master manifestator by any stretch of the imagination. Although imagination plays a pretty big part. I simply imagine things in my mind and EXPECT them to come to me.

Does that sound presumptuous?

Some people call it positive expectation or visualization. For me it is more like the kind of anticipation a kid feels when they KNOW they are going to get a bike for Christmas.

Here is how it played out recently...

I was traveling by train into the city the day before I 'manifested' a trip to Japan (see post above). On the way a lady who was sitting beside me suddenly started chatting.

I soon discovered that she is a curator/art dealer and promotes Australian art overseas - primarily in Asia. After an interesting train ride she gave me her business card and asked me to call her when I got back from Japan.

A month later I decided to call her. We chatted some and it turned out that she needed someone to help her promote some Aboriginal artists in Hong Kong.

As it happens I know a BIT about website design and promotion. I build websites for fun. I am not a professional designer or computer geek. Some of my websites can pull in 10,000 visitors a day and make me a surprising amount of money considering I do very little on them.

My point is that I am just an average guy. I have no skills out of the ordinary and I am by no means rich (yet!). I still rent a house in an expensive suburb of Melbourne because I hate the thoughts of my kids growing up in a bad neighborhood.

As a result it is really hard to buy a house in the kind of neighborhood I'd like to live. I constantly imagine owning a house in a perfect place. Two days ago I got a message from someone close to me who had just sold their house overseas and decided they wanted to retire in Spain.

The kind of price they fetched for their house would buy two or three house in Australia. So they offered to front the cash for a property in Australia. This is on the same day my little girl got a place in a really hard to get into Steiner school that we have been enlisted for in years.

It really seems that the less I try to manifest the more I am receiving...
