Manifesting Police Leniency

You are manifesting 24/7, 365 days a year whether you want to or not. You are manifesting 24/7, 365 days a year whether you believe it or not. You are attracting to you, by effort of your dominant thoughts, the situations and circumstances of your life, good, bad or indifferent. Many people view manifestation as something they are responsible for in good times only. What this means is that if there is a favorable outcome, then people tend to take responsibility for it, versus when the outcome is less desirable, then all of a sudden they forget who is in charge of manifesting.

When good things happen we like to take credit, but when things go wrong we are often tempted to dodge our accountability. Take for instance a recent trip I made to my mothers to pick up some things. After leaving my mothers and heading home I noticed that a lot of police vehicles were on the road. In two seperate instances I witnessed the police utilize u-turns to chase down their culprits. It made me think to myself “wow, the boy’s in blue are sure out in full force tonight!” as I continued the 35-minute drive home.

Just as I reached the half-way point I came across a very hard driving decision. I was doing about 10-15km over the posted speed limit when the light about 200 yards in front of me turned yellow. Being caught in one of those “grey” areas, one that doesn’t offer a clear cut solution, I was forced to decide whether to run the light or slam on my brakes and potentially skid through the intersection. Considering that it was very late at night and the limited number of vehicles on the road I decided to speed up and try and make the light before it turned completely red.

As I cruised through the intersection I thankfully noted that there were no vehicles and it helped me feel like I made the right decision. I continued on my route for another few minutes until I was distracted by the horn and siren of a police car in my rear-view mirror. I immediately pulled over to allow the vehicle to pass me but when they didn’t go around me I knew it was I whom they wanted. I pulled over at the next intersection, shut off the lights and turned off the car.

Two officers approached the vehicle and the first officer asked me where I was going and where I was coming from.  I replied to him that I was heading home from visiting my moms. He then asked the inevitable question “do you know why I pulled you over tonight?” upon which I replied “I have no idea”, which is recommended to everyone in such a situation. I think the only reason the cops ask you that question right up front is to allow you the opportunity to implicate yourself on charges that they weren’t yet aware of. Despite my apparent cluelessness, the officer very kindly reminded me that I had run a red light and that he had to speed (130km) just to catch up to me.

Uh oh… when you talk about manifestating something that you don’t want to take responsibility for this was definitely one of those not so good positions to be in. Afterall, who really consciously or deliberately admits to manifesting police officers to pull them over. Yet by the fact that this was what I was experiencing, it must be true. I wasn’t really aware of my “led foot” but since I was experiencing this reality I figured I must have been doing at least ”something” to get their attention. Then I thought back to all the police cars that I seen on the way home, and wondered if it was my thinking about the cops that had actually gotten me pulled over.

I patiently sat in my car as the officer took my drivers license and registration information and went back to his vehicle. At this point I was resisting the desire to get upset with myself for speeding and running the light, and thankfully was able to center myself in the feeling of allowance, just being with the situation. At first I wanted to get angry at myself, then I wanted to get angry at the police, then I realized that this situation was all perfect, and that everything and everyone was on purpose. What happened the moment I truly let go of the situation was something I will not soon forget.

All of a sudden the officer came back up to my car and handed me my drivers licence and registration back, along with… not a single ticket, and instead a few words of wisdom and advice. The officer had decided to exercise lenience in this occasion and told me to keep the speed down and watch out for red lights. Wow… I couldn’t believe it! Somehow after letting go of the fact that I was about to get a ticket somehow the sitaution reversed itself for the better.

I really must applaud the officer for exercising his right to be lenient. The officer clearly had the right to write up a traffic voilation but opted to use leniency instead to enforce his point. I’m unsure about the exact reasons why the officer decided to do that, but I truly believe that it had to do with my letting go. I truly believe that had I fought the fact that I was pulled over from the beggining I would have walked away with at least two tickets.

In situations where you attract something in your life that is not truly desireable the trick is to be present with it and not allow it to affect the decisions you make in the moment. The more you can “just be” with any feeling, place, person or situation that you manifest, the better position you put yourself in to create a solution or to move forward from that point. Manifestation happens, sometimes for the better, other times for the seemingly worse. The more that you “own up to” all the things you attract in your life the more power you weld over the manifestations in your world.

Manifesting Dream House

By · November 25, 2008 · Filed in Intention, Manifesting · No Comments »

When I was young I remember asking my friends at school, in particularly females what their ideal dream life would consist of. The number of kids and whether or not to have a dog seemed to vary from girl to girl but what was strikingly consistent was the idea of a dream house. The typical dream house usually consisted of a large home with trees surrounded by a white picket fence. Do you remember what your dream house used to look like? Are you living in it yet?

For me my dream house actually came through to me in a dream when I was 9 years old. For a period of a couple weeks after I would fall asleep every night I would dream about going into this house. Every successive night I would travel further into the house. What stood out about this house was that it was absolutely huge! I remember thinking to myself, wow, wouldn’t it be cool to live in a house like that? Well this post isn’t about me actually manifesting that specific house, but instead what I feel is a pretty neat story about my latest dream house.

A couple years ago my girlfriend surprised me with tickets to a local charity event that involved driving all across the city I live in to tour nice homes and view beautiful gardens. The entire tour was cool and we were travelling from house to house.  The fourth house on the tour was in an area near the community that we currently live in but we had never even spotted before. This was a little unusual because we take the dog for walks around the adjoining neighborhoods or go for drives and yet somehow this neighborhood had been hiding. As we entered the community searching for the home we were supposed to tour we actually stumbled across this beauty tucked into a cul-de-sac backing onto to a reservoir.

My Future Home =)

This house immediately caught my eye and I was drawn to it somehow. The scope and lines of the house, the lime stone work and the turrets all make this a dream home for me. I could just picture entertaining friends and family in the backyard of this house, and was thinking to myself “I wish this home was on the tour!” Unfortunately the house wasn’t on the tour, and after being back to the charity event every year subsequently I can tell you that it still hasn’t been. But I was compelled to get out of my car and take this picture.

Finding my dream home by “accident” would make for a good story but what happened in the next couple weeks following makes this story even more interesting. This house had apparently affected me quite a deal, in fact I found myself dreaming about going inside of it on a couple occasions. I dreamed about this beautiful house and haven’t to tell the owners that they had to move out because I was ready to move in. I remember waking up from these seemingly real dreams wondering how exactly I was “imagining” the inside of the house, after all, I hadn’t been inside of it yet. I discounted the dreams as merely the residual excitement from coming across my dream home.

A little over a week later after getting home from running errands I am checking the mail and find a magazine in it. I check to see who the subscription belongs to and there is no name anywhere on the magazine but the name of the magazine is “Best Homes”. Hmmm… I think to myself, that’s odd, I don’t recall ordering this and the price is $6.95 Cdn, so it’s not like it has been delivered door-to-door. Besides, if it was a free subscription why didn’t it have any sign up papers accompanying it and why haven’t I ever received one since?

I take it and the rest of the mail inside the house and begin flipping through the magazine. What absolutely shocked me was that this magazine featured my new dream house. Not only did it contain the house I was dreaming about but it was the main feature, and accordingly had a several pages written up along with a photo spread! Now I was able to confirm the pictures to those in my dreams (eerily accurate I might add) and was able to get a real picture of what this house really looked like. It was like the heavens were opening up and saying, “yes this is your house” and showing me the way.

This whole story as it unfolded was very amazing to me as I contemplated what would have to happen in order for me to get this magazine. The odds of it occurring as a chance happening are almost completely impossible, let alone that it featured the house I was so passionate about. The truth is that Manifestation happens and it always follows the intentions that we focus on the most. What intentions of yours are you spending the most time, attention and energy on manifesting?

When you are clear about what you want, the Universe, Source, or God loves to provide it for you. As your Imagination Coach I can show you how to get out of your own way when it comes to manifesting your dreams, whether that is a dream house, dream job, dream relationship etc. Please feel free to check out the rest of the site for more information on manifesting your dream life.
