The universe acts in ways sometimes to capture our attention and lead us to discover relevant information to achieve our goals, even if we don’t recognize it at times.
I was living in Maui, Hawaii, and at the time, I had a bunch of books that I realized were just taking up shelf space. I went to sell thirty or forty really good books, and the owner of the used bookstore said, ‘I’ll give you one book in exchange for yours.’ I thought to myself, ‘Wow, that doesn’t seem very fair.’ I walked towards the exit and a book literally fell off the shelf in front of me. It was so strange, that I immediately purchased the book.
It was called The Yoga Sutras and it talked about how the whole universe operates from energy that is ascending and descending. For example, you throw a ball up in the air, and it comes down. A light went on and I realized when I work with people and say, ‘What do you want?’ They say, ‘Oh I want to write a book, or become a doctor, or whatever the desire is.’ I notice their energy immediately goes up, (ascends) they get bright, they stand up straight, etc.– I called those kind of thoughts that produce an ascending feeling in our body, an upward thought. A thought that gave them uplifted energy.
