Challenges and Changes

Today I received this message in an email..."Your mind does not know the difference between an actual event and something that you are just thinking about. When you think about something with emotion all of a sudden your mind becomes focused on that thought with an intensity that draws the subject of the thought to you. It does not matter what the emotion is, all that matters is that you have invoked emotion and the higher the degree of emotion the more powerfully you are attracting whatever you are thinking about. The power of anger is just as attractive as the power of love. Here’s the key; if you want to manifest something into your life think about it with a lot of emotion. Intensify the emotion and you turn up the attraction factor. Yes, we live in a cause and effect universe and emotions affect the cause."

These ideas seem particularly pertinent to me right now as my life has been thrown into an upheaval of change that contrasts fears with possibilities around what-could-happen. Fear on this level is not familiar to me. I'm usually a big fan of trusting myself and life... the difference this time is that two key security pillows are missing... income and base location. In February I must move from my home of 3 decades. Rents have tripled around me, so with minimal income sources in the area, my sense of equanimity is chaotic... I must consider leaving the familiar for the unknown ... and without any tangible safety net, I am experiencing a lot of anxiety - and yet almost as impressive, I am having dreams of a different life; A life set in unknown places - not the well loved and familiar Midcoast shores of Maine... places warm and sunny with forests of different trees... I get twinges of excitement and joy considering these unknown places - and wonder what focusing of emotion or thought would pull them into manifestation or even how I can identify them for clarity.  I am on a roller coaster of feelings and intuition, practical and etherial awareness.

In the meantime I must empty closets and discard what I do not need... Quite the challenge!
