Thanks, Ophelia. That’s great that they owed you! Things like that happen so often… the things we fear become great assets.

Wow Lyman,
That’s a great story you always have such good ones- It reminds me of how I was so fearful of filing my taxes one year that I would owe the IRS thousands because of my capital gains and income.
The Universe put circumstances that I had no choice but to file-Turns out they owed me… then I thought man I feel really stupid.
Thanks for putting yourself out there and giving people hope that they can work thru their situations.

That’s exactly what it’s all about, Carolyn… we attract what we think and feel about. This stuff has been around for a long time, it just hasn’t always gone by the same name(s).

Lord Universe… I like that one.

Well, Lyman, isn’t that what the Law of Attraction is about? If we concentrate on the problems, we attract nothing but problems. If we concentrate on God, Higher Power, Lord Universe, we connect with the Divine.

Thanks, Steve. I really resisted the ideas behind the Golden Key for the longest time: “I wasn’t going to go sticking my head in the sand!” But that’s exactly what I was doing when I would toss the notices away. And when the thoughts would come about them, I wasn’t replacing them with thoughts about God… I was stuffing them, and feeding my depression and anger.

I’m glad I’ve finally accepted a better way.

Lyman,

I love your story. I happy you are finding ways to rebuild. It seems daunting but if you do it one day at a time it isn’t as tough as you inner demons tell you.

Emmit Fox is right. I thank you for that quote. I was getting depressed over the last couple of weeks and I realized I had been thing about difficulties and not God. I switched my thoughts to God and my difficulties disappeared. I met a guy once that said, “this God stuff might sound crazy, but try it for while, it really works, you’ll see.”

I’ll be damned if he isn’t right. It does work and it works wonders.
