I have an amusing TSW story that others may find entertaining, perhaps even instructive. Also I have a small question about my experience.
A few months ago, under the influence of certain New Thought figures, I tried an affirmation. It was something like “I am successful.” For now I prefer to be little coy about the exact wording.
One day I repeated this affirmation, or one very similar to it, for some time with great vigor and passionate conviction. This was no mere mechanical repetition; I really put my heart into it. Doing so felt heady, exhilarating.
The very next day I found myself in the parking lot of my local supermarket. As I left my vehicle behind and headed for the entrance, a man approached me. I didn’t know him from Adam nor he me. He stepped right in front of me and spoke. And do you know what he said?
He declared loudly,
SIR! YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL! YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL!
He repeated this several times. Completely out of the blue.
Half an hour later, as I bagged my groceries and prepared to leave the checkout counter, there he was again, right in front of me. And again he said:
SIR! YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL!
More than once. It was kind of an embarrassing situation, but I’m not complaining. I’m fine with it.
Not for a millisecond do I believe this happened by mere coincidence, nor that it would even once in a thousand years.
I am unshakably convinced that somehow my thought and feeling propagated outward in whatever medium carries them and influenced a receptive mind in such a way as to produce this response.
So now for my question. What is that medium? Is its nature etheric, or it astral? How high up the planes must thought and feeling travel to be communicated in this way?
I’m hoping to find constructive ways to employ this phenomenon to my advantage, and that of those I care about, and for the disadvantage of no one.
TS for sure W
