Awareness is key

[snowflake]

Two AMAZING things happened to me today.

First thing:

This morning I opened the refrigerator door and noticed that my bottle of water wasn't there. I looked and looked and it wasn't there at all. Then I remembered that I had left it in the basement last night where I watched tv. Since one of my legs hurt, I didn't feel like going downstairs to get it but I unintentionally set out the intention to get it. I made a note to myself in my mind "feeling thirsty, must get water bottle downstairs". Then I forgot about it and started doing some laundry.

A few hours later, I open the refrigerator door and my bottle of water is right there, right in front of me. I am completely alone in the house. I don't know what happened. Did my intention make the bottle reappear in the refrigerator like I had intended? This happened to me before a few years ago with a pair of earrings disappearing and then reappearing on a table and I thought I was going crazy.

Second thing:

I was told 20 minutes ago that someone who died some time ago has left me one hundred thousand dollars. I wasn't expecting a penny. Here's the weird thing: a few days ago I was thinking about opening a savings account at another bank here in Canada and I had imagined that I had one hundred thousand dollars in it because that is the maximum amount that is insured by the bank. I have only a couple of thousand dollars in stocks and I was just gently and unintentionally fantasizing about having one hundred thousand dollars in that new account. Is this insane or what?

What I noticed is this: gentle awareness without attachment of a desired outcome = effortless manifestation.

Wow! That is amazing.

[ChildOfNone]

That is incredible.
What a fantastic pair of results.

Awareness.

Yeah, I really agree with you. It can be quite a trick to desire something and yet not be attached to it, once you have it down it's amazing.

I think one word to sum up the vibe we're looking for is: playfulness.

Good work. :-)

When you have very little resistance, which is what you achieved by not being attached, it requires VERY little energy to manifest.

I should be more stunned about the one hundred thousand dollars but I can't get over the damn water bottle lol. It wasn't there when I looked in the fridge and it's pretty big. Then I set an intention to get it downstairs and it appears in the fridge a couple of hours later. Is that possible?

Same thing happened to me yesterday with a box of cocoa.

Really? What happened?

"Similar" things have happened to me too. Not things moved where I'd like them, I guess, but more like an unseen shift in reality that resulted in a noticeable new state of things.

The first one dealt with a trash bag. I left my apartment in a reality in which my roommate hadn't replaced the trash bag in the kitchen trash bag before he left, to one in which he had. Not only that, he'd put the pile of trash on the counter into it to (but had not when I left). It was an interesting conversation when he came back, for sure.

More recently, I found a white shirt that I had stained with the almighty shirt-stainer spaghetti sauce had not a stain on it when I went to wash it.

I know a lot of people say detachment speeds up manifestations but in these cases there was a bit of subtle (perhaps mostly subconscious) worry involved too. In the first one I worried before I left that my roommate would think me inconsiderate (even though he had emptied it in the first place, haha, I dunno). And I worried getting those stains out of my shirt would be extremely difficult or even impossible. I worried, but then I forgot.

And these things, they just changed, like magic.

Really? What happened?

Wanted to drink my milk with some cocoa. I keep it in a cabinet(?) in my kitchen. I knew that I might not have any. Looked for it everywhere in that cabinet and couldn't find any. Went to the computer and as I sat there I kept thinking about what else I have to eat and nothing appealed to me. Got busy with something and then I got very hungry. Forgot about the milk, forgot about the cocoa. Mentally went again through everything I have in the fridge and I remembered about the milk and I was like "Yeah! Chocolate milk! Gonna be delicious". Went straight to the same cabinet, straight to the box of cocoa. After I got it I remembered that I don't have any coco but there I was with the box in my hand, exactly where I searched before. And the box isn't hard to see. First time I looked very carefully for it, went through everything. Second time I went straight to it.

Anyway, weirder things happened, like jumping into a new reality or at least it seemed this way but after it happens for 4 times you start going from skepticism to wtf?! The people involved in these shifts don't remember what happened between those 2 points in time, it's like there's a gap in time. I mean, there I was with a girl in front of the door of her block and the next moment we're inside and kissing and I'm wondering how did this happen and when? Can't recall when we got in, what did we talk about, NOTHING! Last thing, we're outside and then suddenly we're inside and kissing. Happened 4 times with 4 different girls, the girls don't remember anything, me neither. First time I thought that maybe the moments were so intense that we lost ourselves. But I had many intense moments and you usually remember all the details. It's actually normal to remember every little detail from a moment of presence filled with intense feeling. I then thought that maybe we just forgot. But when it happens again... and again... and again... always same story, same gap... well, you tell me

Holy cow! That water bottle thing is awesome as is the $100,000. You must be ecstatic! I am certainly taking this has a learning opportunity as to the benefits of detachment.

Well the second thing is not that illogical and weird but certainly the water bottle thing is. The only logical explanation for the first incident can be that the first time you checked there was the bottle but somehow you didn't notice it and after setting intention properly you noticed it the second time.
Actually I want to share a story with you which I read in some other forum. A person was traveling in a bus. He had a camera and camera cover in his hands. But somehow he lost his camera cover and he got worried. He looked for the cover everywhere around his seat but couldn't find it. He was upset, then one of his co-passengers said you should be thankful that you still have the camera in your hand. Then the upset person shifted his focus from worrying to happiness. Then after a few minutes later he again looked for the cover and gosh, it was right there under his seat. So what happened in that case? Well, I don't know. May be his worrying mind didn't let him to notice the cover the first time and second time his mind's vibration was changed. But yes this happens. Some worries remain in our mind and with that tensed mind we do other things as well. But when we shift our focus from worrying to happiness we see things from different perspective. May be that is what happened with you about the bottle. May be there was something in the movie which didn't let you to notice your bottle the first time.
Such things happen with me as well. Whenever I look for things with too much worries in my mind (especially when getting late) like my mobile or book then it is not there and when I look with relaxed mind it is right there in front of my eyes. So may be it is not that weird.
