As I withdrew my hand from the depths of vegetable peelings and tea bags in the kitchen garbage, I wondered how and where I had managed to lose one of my favorite gold rings... the small "needle in a haystack" I was seeking. I had just put it on my hand a few minutes ago, and I marvelled at how I could have lost it so soon after putting it on. I dug down through the remainders of last night's dinner and this morning's breakfast, elbow-deep in food scraps, feeling heart sick. Compared to my intense feelings of sorrow from losing my ring, suffering the insults of the smell and feel of slimy garbage felt like a necessary hardship. I had already dumped out the contents of my purse and taken meticulous inventory of each item, returning them one at a time back to my purse, and the only remaining place I could think of where my ring might have fallen off in the last few minutes was the trash. So here I was, almost to the bottom of it. I had already thoroughly searched my sweater drawer and a cupboard under the sink, and I had retraced my steps around the house several times, with no sign of my beloved ring. Now it was time to leave the house, so I washed my hands and gathered my things. I took a moment to meditate on the fact that there was always a chance my ring might return to me anywhere at any time, and with this consoling thought along with my heartfelt feelings of connection and love for my ring, drove off to meet some friends for lunch.

At some point during lunch with my friends, I reached my right hand down into my purse to seek a pen using my fingers to search by touch, when I was startled to feel a familiar ring-shaped object. I quickly held it up to examine it more closely, and was thrilled to see it was the ring I had lost that very morning!
What's so special about this experience is that it demonstrates one of the principles at the heart of my prosperity manifestation meditations... which is that changing how I emotionally feel from sadness to joy, from loneliness to connected, from fearful to ecstatically loving is the key to astonishing success at becoming luckier and more likely to receive marvelous surprises and unanticipated delights. This is the key to successful reality shifting: knowing that we can always achieve greater prosperity, and relax while feeling positive about every situation, no matter how some experiences may initially seem.

Our Emotions Are What Make Thought Possible
The Boston Globe
by Jonah Lehrer
29 April 2007
Ever since Plato, scholars have drawn a clear distinction between thinking
and feeling. Cognitive psychology tended to reinforce this divide: emotions
were seen as interfering with cognition; they were the antagonists of
reason. Now, building on more than a decade of mounting work, researchers
have discovered that it is impossible to understand how we think without
understanding how we feel.
"Because we subscribed to this false ideal of rational, logical thought, we
diminished the importance of everything else," said Marvin Minsky, a
professor at MIT and pioneer of artificial intelligence. "Seeing our
emotions as distinct from thinking was really quite disastrous."
This new scientific appreciation of emotion is profoundly altering the
field. The top journals are now filled with research on the connections
between emotion and cognition. New academic stars have emerged, such as
Antonio Damasio of USC, Joseph LeDoux of NYU, and Joshua Greene, a rising
scholar at Harvard. At the same time, the influx of neuroscientists into
the field, armed with powerful brain-scanning technology, has underscored
the thinking-feeling connection.
"When you look at the actual anatomy of the brain you quickly see that
everything is connected," said Elizabeth Phelps, a cognitive neuroscientist
at NYU. "The brain is a category buster."

Once I had woken up and lost twenty minutes as a person tried to wake me. I remember sitting up and staring for a second, and in that second, twenty minutes passed. Missing time? This was a huge chunk, but I remember a time when I was two years old and playing in sand. Suddenly, I wake up from my sleep and I'm standing out in the family room, now six years old. I really faded to black and can't remember anything in those years. Not even faint traces. I also heard from a relation of mine while they were teaching that they went out for lunch break. She said she was standing outside and noticed it was completely empty, so she walked back inside the class room... to see the kids were all lined up, and she was several minutes late.
Note from Cynthia: I am so glad you shared these experiences with us. If I hadn't personally experienced time shifts, I would think they sound pretty far-fetched... but I have seen time come to a stop on two separate occasions, and I have also had numerous experiences in which a chunk of time seemed to be skipped over completely, or when I could drive somewhere in far less time than should be humanly possible... without speeding!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Reading about the missing egg cups in the August 2007 ezine reminded me of my ongoing reality shift, which has been happening to me for years. Whenever I buy new underwear, it seems to disappear for awhile. I put it in the drawer, and when I go to wear it, I find it has gone. I search the draw, pull everything out, but never find them. Days, weeks and sometimes months later I will open my drawer and there they will be, innocently laying on top of the pile, as though nothing has happened.
Note from Cynthia: I love the way you describe this, particularly because your experiences match my own with all sorts of things... not just underwear. We can take this idea and allow ourselves to expect all kinds of missing things to return fresh and new... today underwear... tomorrow, the world!
I guess one of my best reality shifts concerned a crystal cluster that I had recently bought. It was on my bedside table and just disappeared. Weeks later my partner was getting some bean seed to plant, and when he opened the tin, he found the crystal inside. The tin had not been opened since the spring before. He hasn't been the same since, as he doesn't have the same acceptance of things that I have.
Note from Cynthia: Hopefully your partner will remember this experience, even though he may currently have no place to file such an odd experience in his memory files. Most of us initially notice reality shifts without knowing quite what to make of them, so it can take several such incidents before some of us even consciously acknowledge that there is something rather peculiar going on around here.
The other week when I went to take a shower, I removed the crucifix that I wear around my neck, and put it on the counter around the sink.. When I stepped out of the bathroom to get the shampoo I had just purchased, it was still in the bag... and I got back to find that the cross was gone. But it was in my pocket! Cynthia, I KNOW I put that cross on the bathroom sink....of course, "inner skeptic" says "Oh for heaven sakes, Kevin, you just put it in your pocket... you just THINK you put in on the bathroom sink... perhaps you're tired and need a vacation." But I KNOW I put it on the sink, and when I looked and it wasn't there, but it was in my pocket, I was amazed!
Note from Cynthia: Wow, Kevin... you are a Magician! I love this reality shift story, as it demonstrates that sometimes, things really can move around without anyone moving them. What fascinates me is where the cross reappeared... in a handy, safe place where you would be sure to notice it. This story definitely has similarities to my own experience this month with my missing ring... I also found it by touch when least expecting it!

Cynthia,
Observe the energetic sphere similar to a Flower of Life that appears in
your Dan Tien area when you're spinning the staff in the picture.
I've seen this kind of sphere (often hundreds of them) in many photos,
(only in photos depicting sacred places or healing events, energy
occurences, etc.)
Faris
Dearest Faris,
Thanks so very much for writing to me regarding your observation
of the Flower
of Life appearing in my Dan Tien area... and the places you most often
have seen such spheres appear... fascinating! I write about how to take
these kinds of aura photographs using regular cameras in my book Aura
Advantage... there are many
kinds of energy photographs possible using ordinary photographic
methods. It certainly does help to be in a place where energy is
bright and strong!
lots of love,
Cynthia

(7) Reviews that Shift Your
Reality
DIVINE INTERVENTIONS lifts the spirits as it soothes the soul... it is the perfect antidote to all manner of news media, which more often than not emphasizes things that seem to be going wrong, usually without much of an explanation as to why things happen or what makes them happen in the first place. This refreshingly inspirational set of fifty stories, each less than seven pages long, that describe amazing events in the lives of people from all continents, spiritual traditions, and walks of life. What these stories have in common is that each of them illustrates something so extraordinary that it changed someone's life... sometimes in ways that would likely not have been predicted. I love the way stories are told from all walks of life and all parts of the world... with a sense that there are indeed more things in heaven and Earth than most of us have dreamed. All kinds of amazing miraculous events have been occurring for thousands of years, and it's just delightful to read about some of them in one fascinating volume. I give this book my highest recommendation to everyone interested in spirituality, miracles, and the divine.

Throughout much of history there has seemingly been a battle between the powers of reason and those of faith... between people striving to analytically comprehend the world through math and science, and those who deemed some things to be eternally beyond the reaches of man's ability to ever fully intellectually understand. At this juncture in time as world populations near the brink of unsustainability on planet Earth the thought-provoking book, THANK GOD FOR EVOLUTION!, presents us with a means for seeing a way to embracing a philosophy that encompasses the strengths of reason and faith... a kind of reasonable faith. Author Michael Dowd's whimsical writing style brings what might otherwise have become a weighty soporific tome into a playful and positive guidebook to "creatheism," a term coined by the author and his wife to embody their meta-religious scientific worldview which sees the whole as being creative in a nested, emergent sense... with humanity playing an integral and increasingly conscious part in the creative process, as there are many legitimate ways to interpret and speak about ultimate reality. This viewpoint is much more than mere pantheism, as "God" is a holy name for ultimate reality -- the all-encompassing wholeness -- which transcends all other realities. While much of THANK GOD FOR EVOLUTION! is devoted to exploring ways of seeing a unity between science and faith, specifically Christian faith, it also provides numerous techniques one can use for attaining a heightened sense of spiritual connection and compassion. THANK GOD FOR EVOLUTION! is a must-read for scientists wishing to answer the question, "But what do you BELIEVE?!" as well as for all spiritual people wishing to find a better way to describe how they can consider themselves both analytical and spiritual at the same time. There need be no conflict between these two, as numerous Nobel prize winning scientists assert, and as Michael Dowd encourages each of us to explore on our own. I give THANK GOD FOR EVOLUTION! my highest recommendation, with hopes that everyone interested in either science or spirituality will read it in order to open a dialogue and discussion about ways we can solve problems facing all of us with regard to crises in faith, environmental issues, and social concerns. Finding a way to use all of our heart, all of our mind, and both a sense of faith and a sense of reason will clearly bring us the most complete solutions, and THANK GOD FOR EVOLUTION! is definitely a key part of unifying the seemingly divisive elements into a cohesive whole.
