Yes, Jackie,
Wayne Dyer says too, always be for something, not against it. Use your energy (strength and psychic powers)in positive ways.
And I too believe that when you reflect on all sorts of things (in meditation, in prayer, with deep concentration and desire)you are beaming out a message into the Universe. It is heard. It is responded to.
When I first discovered this -- in '80, from a physiatrist (a doc who deals w/the physiology of the body, believing in viewing a physical dysfunction in terms of the whole person -- body and mind) it was electrifying! (I was led to this doc by 3 different people who did not know each other but empathized with my 2 yrs of agonizing and immobilizing back pain. I'd never dreamed I could stop my degenerating disc disease, I was searching for a way to learn to cope with this unwanted reality.) I learned to stop the back pain and to stop thinking I would have to negotiate life as a disabled person who struggled with each movement required. It was miraculous!
Also, as it was, it must have been a part of The Plan for me to endure this. As a result I was guided to a man who changed my life forever. I used what I learned from him numerous times, not the least of which was when I was dx w/bc.
I had never known before how much we are each personally empowered! And in further reading, I found that there are Lessons and signs everywhere, in plain sight. But we must be open to them and alert to finding them midst the obstacles and challenges in our path.
So Life became like a treasure hunt each day. I began enthused with each sunrise, hunting for the Messages...
It's really cool if you think about Life in this awesome way...
