But is it РІР‚СљOKРІР‚Сњ to insist that the universe find some other way of putting this object in my hand? If so, is that really a manifestation? I wanted this blue glass thing to come to me by some other mechanism, something out of my control, not by me walking into a shop and buying it. Then a curious thing occurred to me-it was close to my wifeРІР‚в„ўs birthday, and the easiest way for a blue glass thing to manifest in my hand would be for me to just walk into a particular shop I know in town and simply buy one of the lotions they sell in blue glass bottles. I visualised holding something weighty and smooth in my right hand, looking at its blueness and transparency. Something that wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be easy to explain. I arrived home with two big black feathers and one small one - a feather for each of the family! 3rd ExperienceР”В®xcited by this, I decided to try manifesting something more unusual. I took another step and there was another РІР‚В¦ and then another. Seeing a crow in the field reminded me about the feather, and I mentally said to the crow, РІР‚СљSo, have you got a feather for me?РІР‚Сњ I took another couple of steps and there, right in front of me on the ground, was a crowРІР‚в„ўs feather. The next day I left work as usual and was walking across a playing field. (On reflection, we werenРІР‚в„ўt clear about whether we meant one feather between us or a feather each.) Anyway, I visualised having a feather in my hand and feeling good about it. She and I then decided to try our hands at jointly manifesting something small. Unloading her bags she said, РІР‚СљI donРІР‚в„ўt know why I bought this but hereРІР‚в„ўs a chocolate pudding for you.РІР‚Сњ Apparently, while in the supermarket she had felt an unaccountable urge to buy me a chocolate pudding! 2nd Experience A few minutes later, my wife arrived home from the supermarket where she had been buying some provisions for the week. I got home after the journey to an empty house. I relaxed, focused on the process, and decided it would be great to manifest some kind of chocolate pudding - I love chocolate, so maybe there was something new out there I could try.

I was sitting in the train taking me on my daily commute after work. The first experience occurred after reading that it is good to РІР‚Вstart smallРІР‚в„ў as an experiment, and to make it something frivolous and inconsequential (the non-manifestation of which isnРІР‚в„ўt liable to cause upset or loss of faith). I should have kept specific dates, in good scholarly fashion, but here is what has happened so far. Inspired by the Abraham books and one of the Orin/Daben books, I decided to try my hand at deliberate creation (rather than just maintaining the best possible inner state, which has been going very well РІР‚вЂњ see earlier Manifestation posts in my spiritual journal).
