I'm still processing my appointment with Nelson (the acupuncturist/Chinese medicine specialist I saw yesterday). The acupuncture itself doesn't seem to have really done all that much at the moment, but then again, I'm not all that surprised at that - I fully expected it to take more than one session. However, other 'stuff' that happened literally blew me away.
If you know anything about me, I've long been a believer in the universe providing, or "what you think about, you bring about". Nowadays, thanks to the movie The Secret, you may have heard about that theory - it's more commonly known as the Law of Attraction. Too much happened during the consultation for me to ignore it. I had lost my way lately, but after seeing Nelson, I am fully back on track. Apart from acupuncture, he's a life coach, so I've made the decision to commit to 12 months with him. I really need to explain far more about what happened - but I just don't have the time. Suffice to say, this is something I cannot ignore as random coincidence and/or chance. The universe has given me the unmistakable kick up the butt I've been asking for, and it's time for action. I'll keep you posted.
Other stuff. I've been spending loads of time lately adding to my DVD collection - in the past 2 weeks alone, I've purchased Seasons 1 & 2 of Extras, Seasons 1 & 2 of The Love Boat, the complete series of The X-Files, the complete series of Columbo, and the complete series of Due South (and I admit, I always had a crush on Paul Gross, the actor who played the Mountie, Benton Fraser). Next on my hit list is the complete series of V, Season 1 of Fantasy Island, and Season 4 of House. I'm really quite excited about watching these. I guess this goes a long way to explaining how easily I'm amused (or perhaps how dull my life really is).
As to beads, I'm not sure whether I'll get a chance to make anything for you guys this weekend. My first task on my road to taking accountability for my own life, is to make three beads for Nelson - I have to make one for his daughter, one for his wife, and one for his mother in preparation for my next appointment with him on Monday. Yeah, I know many of you probably don't understand this whole universe "thing", but it makes absolute sense to me.
And here's a little something I thought I'd add that sort of sums up how I have always looked at life - until recently, when I seem to have forgotten it. Have you seen the film Evan Almighty? I actually haven't, but someone once recommended a scene out of this movie to me, when I was moaning about no matter HOW much I seemed to be asking for the "good stuff", I seemed to be getting more "bad stuff" to contend with. This whole clip isn't from the movie, but it starts about 44 seconds into it, with Morgan Freeman ('God') explaining to Lauren Graham's character about how God delivers things in ways we least expect.
This is actually what happened in my consultation with Nelson on Monday. He said to me, "I never really got 'it' - this whole concept of praying and/or asking for the universe to deliver the good things, and instead all I seemed to get was more of the difficult things to deal with, until I saw this movie". Before he could tell me the name of the movie he was referring to, I said to him, "Let me guess, you're talking about Morgan Freeman's explanation in Evan Almighty about why things happen the way they do?". And he said, "Exactly!".
In reality, this whole clip, although related to Jesus, is my view on God/Yahweh/Buddha/Allah/the Universe (substitute your own particular religious deity) answering 'prayer'. If you're not into organised religion, then please don't let that deter you from watching this. I was raised a Catholic, but I am not a fan of organised religion. Each to their own, but organised religion just doesn't ring true to me.. elements of it sound logical, but on the whole, most of it leaves me cold.
Okay.. that's it outta me for one day. Thanks for dropping by.. catch you again soon.
