How the Universe Really Works
How the Universe Really Works

This morning I was reading an article in the Washington Post on
the high price of gasoline. Among other things, the article
talked about the big gas guzzlers like the Hummer.
A bit later, I saw a Hummer on my way to the post office.
They're very rare in this small mountain town. In fact, I've
seen only one other in all the time I've lived here. A couple
minutes later, still on my way to the post office, I saw another
Hummer. You probably know what they look like -- big, boxy
military-looking gas hounds on four wheels.
Earlier this morning, as I was out jogging, it dawned on me I
hadn't seen any snakes this summer. Normally we have plenty of
them during warm weather. About two or three minutes later, I
spotted a long black snake just off to my right.
Later in the morning, I was doing some grocery shopping. Without
intending to, I "accidentally" turned down the aisle with dental
products. And that reminded me I'd been looking for a particular
brand of toothpaste for many months. But this store hadn't
carried it in years. Suddenly, it practically jumped out at me
from the top of the toothpaste shelf.
So what do all these seemingly insignificant, trivial events
have to do with our spiritual paths?
Well, they show us how the Universe really works.
Here's Chief Joseph.

Friends, you live in a Universe that is exquisitely perfect in
every way. We realize that may sound like a ridiculous thing to
say, at least to many of you. Especially when you look at the
world around you, including your latest huge human disaster, the
hurricane called Katrina.
However, the Universe works in an entirely predictable manner.
It is governed by the law of attraction. And everything that
happens, happens according to the law of attraction. No
exceptions.
And so, you might ask, "What is this law of attraction that
governs the Universe and all of our lives?"
Well, we've addressed that question many times over the years.
But it keeps coming up. And probably will keep coming up. And so
we will keep addressing it.
The very essence of the law of attraction is this: You live in a
Universe of vibrations. Vibration is all that is. Similar
vibrations resonate with each other. Dissimilar ones clash with
each other. But our real point and focus here today are the
similar vibrations.
To put it simply, you attract into your lives (as individuals
and as groups, large or small) what you focus mostly on.
Your focus, your attention to anything, sets up a resonance, a
vibration. And the Universe responds instantly to that vibration.
And instantly whatever matches that vibration, or resonates with
it, is on its way to you.
So, as we've said often before, it behooves you to pay attention
to what you're paying attention to.
Let's take some examples from the experiences John described for
you earlier.
As he was jogging, he started thinking about snakes. And lo and
behold, a snake appeared almost instantly.
In another of his experiences that same morning, a particular
toothpaste he'd been wanting a long time suddenly manifested.
We take these two examples because, among other things, they
illustrate how irrelevant time is when it comes to manifesting
your hearts' desires.
Time is, in fact, often the biggest block you face in creating
what you want in your lives. Not because time matters -- it
doesn't. The Universe could care less about time. It's you who
care about time.
So when you ask for something, or give your attention to
something, no matter how fleeting that attention may be, it's
instantly on its way to you.
And if you simply allow it to come, and if you really do not
care when it comes, it will often come to you quickly, or even
instantly. When that happens, you frequently call it a "miracle."
But, often, your focus, after you've asked for something, is on
the fact it's not there yet. Well, then you've set up a
contradictory vibration. And you thereby slow down the
manifestation.
You live in a perfect Universe. But it's a Universe governed by
its own law of attraction. And so, by its own law, the Universe
cannot deliver to you something you're not ready to receive.
In other words, you cannot receive something that does not match
where you are vibrationally.
On the other hand, the Universe can, and often will, deliver to
you instantly whatever matches where you are vibrationally.
That, of course, friends, can work for or against you -- for or
against what you're wanting to create.
So, again, it behooves you to pay attention to what you're
paying attention to. Your predominant focus determines your
predominant vibration.
And that predominant vibration determines all of your life
experiences. All of them -- no exceptions.
And that is how the Universe really works.
