The Importance of Being Specific

As I was walking into town yesterday, it started raining. I put up my umbrella. After a few minutes I was bored with the rain and put out an intention for my Invisible Friends to create a dry and sunny climate now. It stopped for a second and then started again. I realised by saying I wanted it to stop now, I hadn't specified how long "now" should last for. I revised my intention that I wanted to walk in dry, sunny weather all the way to my destination. It stopped raining and was dry all the way.

While I was in the library I was curious to test out the power of my thoughts. I thought it would be fun for the fire alarm to go off at a particular time for about 10 seconds then stop. I knew it wouldn't cause any disruption as the building is only usually evacuated if the ringing becomes continuous.

Alas, my thought power didn't work out, which was a bit of a bummer. Never mind!

The next day, in the same library, the alarm suddenly went off and started ringing intermittently. I put out a prayer for it to stop but it didn't. After a few minutes the bell started ringing continuously signifying it was time to evacuate the building, but the strange thing was it only rang for about 10 seconds then it stopped. Since the bell was no longer ringing we presumed it would be OK to stay but the whole building was evacuated anyway.

While the Fire Brigade was inspecting the building, I waited outside with the rest of the staff. Someone came back to report that there had been some kind of flooding which had set off the alarm. It only took about 10 minutes for the building to be given the all-clear, which was a lot faster than on previous occasions.

Why did it take almost 24 hours for my thoughts to come true?

I believe because my intention hadn't been in alignment with the local consensus reality. By this I mean, when I had put out the intention, I had asked for the alarm to ring for 10 seconds. The way the system usually works is that the alarm rings intermittently first. If there is still a problem, the ringing changes to continuous and the building is then evacuated. The only time the building is not evacuated while the alarm is ringing continuously is when the alarm is being tested.

Back to my test, I should have asked for the alarm to ring intermittently only for 10 seconds NOT continuously, which would have matched the consensus reality. Then there would have been no need for the building to be evacuated. In order for the Universe to create the perfect situation that matched my intention, it had to delay the alarm until there was a perfect situation that would trigger the alarm i.e. the flooding.

It would seem that as long as there's nothing opposing one's intention, all things are possible. You just have to be very specific about what you want to experience.

It was good to see that the people who had to evacuate the building didn't seem to mind. And the weather was nice too, which was just as well.
