Water on a board

If you pour water on a board it does not really absorb all that well, but if you pour it on a paper towel, it really sucks it up... is this perhaps how the universe is for you and me? As I meditated and as I was feeling I was not really connected to the universe the way I wanted to be... I found I was very tense. As I felt the tenseness in my shoulders and body, and tried so hard to release it... my mind was wanting to go back to all the things I needed to do, and should be doing....

Ok so this is quite obviously the old patterns creeping back in... I did/do realize that with meditation, and taking time to refocus that I can accomplish so much more, and....

Oh yes a real big and... if I am at ease more, and relaxed I have found that the universe finds its way to my so much easier.... I find when I am not trying to force it, or anything, the things that are important to me that I do want to come into my life simply do....

I feel that the stress stops the universe from being able to penetrate you.. just as a board does not absorb water as well as a paper towel... I feel I was like a board.... and unconsciously slowing down the penetration of the universe into my self.

To make it even funnier if that is what I believe.. than that is the way it is: ) Now let's pull beauty into this, the beauty is I do believe this right now, but I also believe that by meditating I release so much of that, and become very at ease, and therefore become a paper towel...

This also ties in with connecting with the universe and just being.... if I am able to just be, and allow the universe to do what it does best, and as like in the beginning do the steps of focusing, believing, visualizing that all things will come to be.

It's funny, I had decided that "the secret" was really just a very basic manual, which has broken down many readings, and put into a form that is very helpful and useful for the every day people if you can get them to read it and believe it. And obviously they were able to achieve this, however I am at a point that even though I have read this many times, I have not for a couple of months at least, and feel I need the refresher... I had almost felt before that I would not read it again... that there was no need to. I will see to it that this weekend I read ti again, and see if it refreshes me as I believe it will, and helps me therefore to continue to soar toward the goals I have placed in the universe....

I do have to say, a low day, or a bad day now is not low or bad at all compared to what it was before. Not even close. I have gotten so much stronger, and have connected like you would not believe since the very first reading, I think one of the biggest issues I have now is being patient... I have so much I want to do and accomplish, and it is all happening at the rate it is supposed to, but there is such passion and joy in what my venture is that it is hard to sit still and wait: )

Final note, I did have a very good meeting with the person I spoke of.. I wanted to learn about he and his wife.. I felt perhaps they had " the secret" and I am still not sure. I am not sure if I got out of the meeting what I was supposed to, of why I really was supposed to... but instead I am trusting that the universe will show at some point in time why it was important for me to.....

Do you have any idea the excitement that is in my every day.... hard to contain some times...: )
