I just recently got done listening to Dr Wayne Dyer’s audio CD’s “The Secrets to Manifesting Your Destiny.”  I really enjoyed them, and highly, Highly recommend them.  He tells a lot of funny and relevant stories.

One story he told was about how his daughter asked him to change a light bulb in her bedroom.  No big deal, right?  Well as he turned the bulb it broke in his hand.  So he asked his daughter to go downstairs and get him the needle-nose pliers.

A few minutes later she called up the stairs that she couldn’t find the pliers.  Wayne yelled back down to her, “Look again!”  They had to be there.  Nope, they were no where to be found.  So this seemingly simple task would have to be put off until he got a new pair of needle-nose pliers.  The next morning during his 13 mile run, all Wayne could think about was where had those pliers disappeared too?  And that he would have to get a new pair today.

As he came up on his driveway, he saw something lying on the pavement.  As he got closer, he saw that it was a brand new pair of needle-nose pliers.   

Wayne went on to explain that he could have just looked upon it as a coincidence, but he knew better. He told this story to show that you never really know how the Universe will bring about your request.  Sometimes it literally just shows up right in front of you.  The key is to recognize it for what it is, and be grateful. 

Years ago, when I was working for the airlines, I remember needing a stamp to mail a postcard.  As I was standing behind the counter, the maintenance guy came by with his dustmop.  I looked down (this was back when I could see) and in the pile of dust and debris was a postcard stamp!  I picked it up and it was unused!  I still remember that to this day, but for some reason I forget how powerful our thoughts are.  Most of the time we just run on auto pilot, not giving much consciousness to what we are thinking. 

T had just listened to the first CD where Wayne was telling this story about the pliers.  She said she kept thinking about the pliers story every time she was meditating, and she laughingly said if she’s not careful, she’s going to end up manifesting needle-nose pliers instead of manifesting the trailers getting sold and the rooms getting rented, etc.  I agreed and cautioned, “We don’t need another pair of needle-nose pliers.” 

That night at work I was thinking about Wayne’s plier manifesting story and what T had been saying about it, when I dropped my handheld magnifier back behind my work station.  The desk kind of slopes down and all sorts of things gather back behind there.  I was reaching down feeling around for my magnifier, and pulled out a couple of pens.  Reaching down again, I felt something else that wasn’t my magnifier or another pen.  When I got my fingers around it and pulled it out, I started laughing out loud.  There in my hand was a pair a needle-nose pliers! 

Where did they come from? Who knows…maybe a work man lost them there when they were setting up our new office months and months ago; maybe someone else set them down on the counter top and they got pushed off this week. It doesn’t really matter how the Universe got them there…the point is that the Universe coordinated events so that I pulled them out at the exact moment that I did. Ain’t life magical?

I couldn’t wait to get home and tell T what I had manifested! 

Hey this Law of Attraction thing really works…How about a new Toyota Highlander, Universe?

How ‘bout it?

A few days ago we were walking at a nearby park. Suddenly T put her arm out to stop me. I could hear what sounded like a ball or something crashing through the tree in front of us.

In fact, it was a large pine cone coming through the branches over head. And it landed right in front of me!

T picked up the pine cone and handed it to me. I was tickled to have it. As I studied this seven inch potential head-bonker, I noticed it had already opened up and dispersed its seeds.

Me and My Pine Cone

And we are all a part of that perfection. We are all connected; we are all of one universal source, even the pine cone.

So I thanked the universe for giving me such a wonderful gift to reinforce the lesson I had been listening to the night before from Dr Wayne Dyer, about how we are not separate from our environment, but rather we are all connected to everything else in the world, whether it be our natural environment or man-made.

I took my pine cone home to keep on my desk as a reminder that I am of you, and you are of me, and we are, even the pine cone, all of the universal source of energy that creates all that is.

Be Peace. Be Love.

How ‘bout it?
