A Little Hocus Focus

 

I think I'll have a tee-shirt made up as follows: Warning, hanging out with me may cause spontaneous manifestations to occur. At least that way, people will be forewarned and thus not so surprised when unexplainable amazing things start to happen all around them. It seems that for some reason beyond my comprehension, when multiple positive occurrences take place, there is reason to believe that creepy unnatural circumstances are at fault. This tends to make people pretty uneasy.

For example: a couple of weeks ago  I had the opportunity to meet a friend for dinner that I had not yet met in person. Although he and I had experienced several uncanny synchronicities via email and text message, having them show up in real time I think was just a little more than he could get his head around. The final straw took place when we showed up at PF Changs for dinner and were told that there would be a 30+ minute wait. Just to play with possibilities, I thought to myself, "The table will be ready in a few minutes" and left it at that.

We both went to wash up and before I could return from the restroom, he was being seated at a table. As I looked at him across the room I noticed the strangest look on his face. Seemingly confused he said, "Something must have got messed up, there were 20 people on the list ahead of us and we got seated first." I couldn't help myself and just sat there with a little Cheshire grin. I knew what had happened. I had "asked" for an earlier table and no one else had.

It was obvious that somewhere in his brain, he was pondering what had just taken place. Still the confused look remained as he glanced at me and half-jokingly said, "Are you some kind of witch or something?" 

Nice! Just because I understand quantum physics and play with it from time to time, I am now being compared to a crotchety old gal with a wart on her nose and sporting a broom? He certainly wasn't referring to Glenda, of the Good Witch fame. Granted, I have been known to go all hormonal at times and act a bit bitchy, but is it absolutely necessary to compare me to some sort of caldron stirring spell-caster? He could have said, "Are you some kind of Alchemists or something?" Now that sounds attractive. At least they were considered cool when they did what they did. People wanted to learn alchemy. Witchcraft.....not so much.

So my question now is.......how to go about practicing deliberate intent in the future? Seems people get a little freaked out and even down-right angry when confronted with such weirdness. Why can't they fathom the fact that they can do it too? It's just physics for gosh sakes.....thoughts are energy.....like energy attracts like energy.....yada, yada, yada.

I thought about keeping my cosmic directions to myself in the future, but conscious manifesting is way too much fun and certainly has it's bonuses. As bad as it sounds the rebellious side of me likes to watch people tweek from the weirdness when they can't figure out what just happened. And besides, it's all just "coincidence" anyways. (wink) I'll just be sure to steer clear of any burning stakes and falling houses from here on out..... just in case.
