I'm new at this but I'll give it a go.

From my understanding, hypothetically, the universe has opened up an opportunity according to your current 'intention'. And apparently, it was not specific enough to include your son in the equation. The solution as I see it would to then concentrate on an opportunity that also includes your son in the equation and then wait for that new opportunity to arise.

Best regards

Thanks Firehorse, that sounds like the best idea to me in this situation. I wonder why Steve doesn't suggest the same thing in his triage article. When faced with a situation where you can't help everyone that immediately calls for your attention, would you say look for a solution to present itself that will allow you to help all that call for attention?

It showed up on the "Questions for Darkworkers" thread. But I suppose the term "enlightened" is... um... "lightist", so we ought to have two.

I've just had a look at that article.

I think it's a matter of time and focus. It can take time for intentions to manifest.

There's also focus. If you are focussed on 10 things in 'different' directions/polarities then you may be less effective than if you focussed on one or two things in the same direction. If you accomplish your one or two things (Group 3), it then may then enable you to help the remaining items more at a later date.

And the universe may be giving you a lesson in focus and decision making

Best regards
Alan
