The Law of AttractionOctober 5 2007

Its funny that there are certain things in life that we just can tell people about. Not so much because they are embarassing but because they are just to wierd to be taken seriously.
Well my story starts out with the first time I met my wife to be. I was living in shared accomodation and this young woman was standing there waiting for another member of the house and I said hello and then went on my way. I was struck by the sense that this was a person that I would eventually get to know very very well. ... The next time I had a similar sense was a year leter when our common friend arranges a date between us ... As I drive through the area approaching her house I get the premonition that I will be driving this way a lot! Well it turns out that I do end up living with her in that house for the next seven years, and I do drive by those strangely familiar land marks for almost everyday of those seven years.
From that time forward these premonitions become a more or less regular part of my life and it even develops to the point where I can go to a place in my mind where I can look for them for guidance on difficult issues in my life or in my business. In another way they become like sign posts that I look for to help me decide on which paths to follow in my life.
For all of this time of course I don't tell people about my experiences because whenever I try I get denial to the point that my relationships will be threatened if I were to insist on the truth behind my experiences.
In 1989 an even odder event happens. My sister and I decide to spend an evening traveling to a 100 acre bush lot which I used to own near Smiths Falls Ontario. During our outing we discover that we are both shopping for a canoe but we both have an inadequate budget to buy the type of canoe that we want. As we negotiate the possibility of pooling our money to buy one canoe that we will share. We explore in detail every aspect and every quality that our shared canoe will have, its weight, its length, the material it will be made from and the fact that it will be a used canoe. On our way home that evening I had a sudden urge to take a different and longer way home. Not being in a particular hurry I followed the urge and in the process drove we passed a house which had a canoe for sale in front of it, which exactly matched the qualities, size and price of the canoe that my sister and I had negotiated that we would buy.
So this story on its own tells of a very strange coincidence. However as the years go by I notice something else going on. I notice it first in my business. When I determined that I had no choice to undertake a development project for which I was $100,000 short of the money needed to complete it. I follow my intuition and visualize the project as being a success with the knowledge that the money will appear when needed. Despite the anxiety of my accountant pouring over cash flow projections that never worked ... the project did work and the money did appeared as planned when needed.
Later, with no money in the bank I visualized a country home that I wanted to share with my young children and it appeared in six months. Then later I visualized a woman who would share that home with me and my children and she appeared. Shortly after that I visualized her gone and she disappeared!!! ... By this time I'm starting to get the feel of this .. so I visualize a car that I need, white with four doors. I am short of money so I cannot afford to buy this car but I don't let that deter me ... However the car doesn't arrive. I'm so sure that all of this works that I become really puzzled but eventually give up on the idea of the car until two years later. My exwife in a rare moment of kindness calls me to say that a friend of hers has an immaculate car for sale at a very low price. The woman doesn't need much money and but just wants to get rid of the car so that she can buy a new one. I buy the car for a few hundred dollars and then I suddenly realize ... it is the same car that I visualized two years earlier.
The next time this process entered my life was shortly after getting the car. I decided on two things. One is that I want to move back to the city and that I wanted to have a wife ... a traditional wife ... one who cooks and keeps a home and is supportive to her husband in his career. Well these days you might as well look for a unicorn as look for a wife with a 1950's view of the family. However 18 days after defining specifically what I wanted I was contacted by the woman I envisioned and we have had a very happy relationship ever since.
The very odd thing is that technique was the very one she used to find me ... she also uses it to buy clothes, find parking spots, and find solutions to problems in her life and in the lives of her children.
At this point I believe that we are the only two people in the world who understand this "secret." When I try to tell her children or mine they laugh and make fun ... no one wants to hear about this. No one, until I discover a movie called "The Secret" which describes in detail what they call the "Law of Attraction" and furthermore they go on to describe it in a way that matches detail for detail my own experiences.
So this my friend is my testimonial to you... "The Secret" is true. The Law of Attraction does work, and my wife and I had discovered it independently of the movie, and of each other, and of the hundreds of people who are now purporting its magic.
