I Stopped the Clock?
 

I decided to try an experiment in manifesting today. I'm reading E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Experiments by Pam Grout. In the first lesson, the reader is instructed to note the time of day, and ask God, or the Universe, depending on religious preference, to provide an unmistakeable, unexpected blessing, or sign, in the next 48 hours. I decided to try. I noted the time on a big clock that hangs on my wall, and made my request. I repeated "2:45" a few times, and asked for an unmistakeable sign. Then, I went to sleep. When I woke up, the clock still read 2:45. I thought, "What is this, Narnia?", and struggled into the kitchen. The clock there said 3:45. I thought that in my sleepy daze, I must have read the other clock wrong. I went back to check, and the original clock had stopped at exactly 2:45, when I wrote down my request to the Universe! It operates on a battery, and it could be a coincidence, but there are several in play here. The clock was working earlier, and apparently stopped at that moment. I went immediately to sleep, and awoke exactly one hour later, to the minute. That coincidence ensured that I would check the time, as I always want to know how long I've been asleep. At first, I couldn't see that stopping a clock with a thought was a blessing, but then I realized that a more powerful, immediate message from the Universe that thoughts create reality would be hard to devise. Proof of our ability to manifest is a very big blessing, indeed! Has anyone else read the book, or had a similar experience?

The waking-up when I leave a wake-up call with the universe works for me too, Dream Angel. The same thing happens with kitchen timers when I'm cooking. I arrive a few seconds before the timer rings. I thought that humans had an inborn sense of time, and the subconscious does that for us, but it could just as easily be the universe reflecting our intentions back to us! :smile:

Very cool!

I'm moving on to Experiment Two. Every time I look at the stopped clock, it reminds me of how powerful the power of intention can be. If more people understood how the Universe really works, and how to utilize that energy, everything could change for the better. The book is available on Kindle for $2.99. I've read a lot of books on manifesting, and this one is the easiest to read, and explains how science and faith connect. :smile:

I think we can do things like stop clocks, electric or mechanical, with the power of intention. It would be interesting to see if you can start the same clock using the same process, without changing the battery.

I think the second experiment stunned me even more, Dream Angel. I was supposed to manifest "green vehicles". I decided to try for green semi-trucks. The first truck was a startling neon green! Then, I spotted a forest green truck that actually had "Evergreen" printed on the side. I decided to try for that specific truck, and got lots of them, singly, and in groups - spaced sometimes two or three minutes apart. The next event is the most startling of them all. I was sitting at a window in a fast-food restaurant, next to the drive-thru. A gray sedan sat there for at least five minutes. I decided to ask that the next car in the drive-thru be green. When it pulled up to the window, it was a forest-green Mini Cooper! This is not a common car in the U.S. Green cars aren't even very popular right now. I spilled french fries in my lap. :D The experiments will continue, and I recommend the book. The instructions and explanations are really clear.
