Intention Acomplished.

[Andrew Michaels]

I just wanted to let people know about my successful manifestation of an important intention.

I'm a senior in college, and to graduate, I had to take a lab science course. Now, my whole life, I've always done poorly in Math and Science. I can write you a speech and give a killer performance, make a masterful thesis argument, and tell you about hundreds of years of Byzantine history, just as long as I don't have to count or explain physics.

The class I ended up taking is Astronomy, which sounded like the easiest and most interesting lab science class on the list. I love looking at the sky, I figured, and I wouldn't mind learning about constellations, how the Universe was formed, etc.

Unfortunately, the class turned out to be horrible. The teacher was knowledgeable, but with all the teaching ability of a lively rock. His idea of interesting material was to make mental, sweet sweet love to blackbody radiation curves and pedantic formulas. The class had virtually no information on space, and thousands of ways to explain the nothing with formulas.

I was despondent. I needed this class to graduate next semester. I spent hours and hours studying, and still flunked the first test. I didn't know what to do; and then I did. I decided that I was a math genius. Suddenly, I told myself that I knew my future, and I stuck it in my brain. I kept it there all semester, no matter what my studying told me. I saw myself telling my friends about how I had triumphed over this god forsaken class, how I had swept all before me. 91, was the score I told them. Let me tell you about how I got a 91, I said to the fictitious renderings of people in my mind. The seed was planted in my head; it was growing.

I studied, and my mind told me that I didn't have a good enough grasp on the material, but I didn't listen. I remained sure of my victory.

Test score? 92.

I've since taken 4 more tests, and each time had above an 86. I just came from my final, which hasn't been scored yet, but I am equally sure of my ultimate victory.

I'm quite sure that my intentions, whether they merely tricked my mind into doing well, or they actually rearranged reality to fit my mind, were directly responsible not only for me passing the class, but the fact that I finished above 87% of the class. (He gave us the stats) Just so you know, Eight out of 30 ended up flunking. I'm so happy that it wasn't 9.

So, I hope that this info will inspire some others. Keep intending. Knowthat you are victorious, or rich, or in love with a beautiful woman, or rather, that you already are- and you will be.

Best,
Andrew
