to think that cosmic ordering

[MitchyInge]

. . . works amazingly well?

My dream house is up for sale. I need a lottery win. Universe, please can I have it, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Ooh I like this -

Please universe can I have the PERFECT job that I have an interview for on Thursday. It's challenging, good money, and in a lovely location near all my old uni friends. And, I would be jolly good at it. Thanks in advance.

I might even go light a candle surely that will help.

I grew up in Brighton, I have done much wooier things in my time

Also, does anyone who does this know how you are 'meant' to word your order?

IE Do you write "I want to be a size 10" rather than "I want to lose weight"?

I seem to recall reading something about always couching your order in positive terms of gaining something or being something rather than losing something iyswim.

I think somebody upthread said that the key is to word your order as something that will happen, as opposed to stating that you want it. So saying "I want to lose weight" will focus your mind on wanting it, as opposed to achieving it.

So instead, your order would be "I will be a size 10" or better yet "I will fit into the size 10 jeans in my wardrobe" to avoid any universal confusion resulting in swollen feet that require size 10 shoes.

Thanks fuzzy

Am writing out list now!

I second about being careful what you ask for, or rather how you ask for it!

I was fed up with trying to diet and stood in front of my mirror I pleaded... please make me slim, please.... Thought no more of it but as the months went by I began to have severe chest pain and bouts of vomiting. My weight went down by 2 stone as I couldn't eat anything fatty due to having gall stones! I am now minus a gall bladder and am four stones heavier.

I have asked for things, or decided, 'one day I am going to have that' and it has worked on several occasions. Most recently when needed the perfect job :)

I also wrote down a list of attributes that my perfect man would have, met a guy on line who I absolutely adore but I forgot to put on my list that he needed to be within 30 miles, this guy lives on the other side of the world :(

YANBU!!! Also, anything like that that you do find has a positive effect really can't be unreasonable. I got very into 'law of attraction' and have been reaping the rewards

Oh and just thought I'd add that I heard of someone who wished for £30,000 or it may have been £60,000 but the point is, she cosmic ordered it but ended up losing her leg or arm (really cannot remember the details, also I suppose it might not be true but I reckon I believe it) and got compensation of that amount so ~be careful what you wish for~ it would have been better for this person to wish to win the lottery. Law of attraction says that if you 'know' you will do such and such then it WILL happen

So let me get this straight,

I need 700 euros by tomorrow morning so I wont be evicted. I have tried every avenue but cannot get the money together.

If I cosmic order, someone might offer me the money or my disability backpayment might mysteriously show up in my bank acc in the morning?

Tell me how thay works...

Well that didn't work, cosmic ordered help and got an eviction notice!

sorry mordecai, that sucks. If I had 700 euros I'd send it to you.

Anybody else seen the episode of the IT Crowd with the Spacologists...

Thanks fuzzy that's kind, but I wouldn't have taken it! I'll just have to cosmic order a new house! Or find someone who works in the disability office and hit them with my cane! Both work for me!

I swear te god. No sooner did I post this last message, I got a call from my td who said he was going to call the disability office to look into it!!spooky!!!!!

Haha this is funny!

positive thinking is always good. Doing nice things for people often gets you things in return.

But if someone is making money out of it then its just a load of crap! The only people getting what they want is whoever is raking in all the £20quids from all the people paying to watch a video.

If it really worked then no-one would ever be wanting for anything would they!

oi who revived this thread?

(Sorry Alameda, I just keep wanting to know if people got what they were asking for!)

Mordecai, that is spooky! How did it turn out?

LaFataTurchina--did you get the job?

I'm desperately skint and have been on the receiving end of some quite big financial balls-ups and and screw-overs for work I've done this year so I'm chucking my order out to the universe now: I'm a nice person, Please Please Please, send me some money soon to clear my debts and buy my kids some food and Christmas presents!

Seriously, I know it's woo, but if any of you guys are putting orders out there, I'd really appreciate it if you could throw a kind word in for me.

marking a place.

im willing to give anything a go in these times of desperation.

i could do with some stuff - only 4 asks, but i darent write em here in case it jinxes me!

so, how does this cosmic ordering thing work then?

I guess you just picture what it is you need and either speak or write it in positive terms, with the expectation that it will happen. (Noel edmonds also apparently chooses a symbol to represent what he wants and writes it on his hand, but I don't know much about that.)

Apparently if you are in financial dire straits, for example, you have to say 'I am financially secure', 'I have lots of money in the bank' etc. etc. You can't mention negative things like 'debt' or 'bills'.

It's very woo but it never hurts to write a list of things that you want to achieve, It focusses the mind if nothing else, maybe give your extra motivation to create change by yourself.

It's just about attention, that's all. Thinking something doesn't make it happen, either good or bad. You can't kill someone by wishing them dead and you can't win the lottery by asking the universe for the winning numbers.

Whatever you ask for becomes uppermost in your mind. If something happens that fits what you ask for then you attribute it to having asked for it. It was going to happen anyway, you just noticed it more.

Focusing on what you do want is useful but dont sit back and wait for the universe to give it to you, make it happen. There's no such thing as positive thinking, just thinking.

ooh my one on the previous page that in wrote in october has come true! offer accepted on house by the beach x

ditziness--that is so cool!

Having reviewed my order from October, I may have spotted the reason for my current financial suckfest. I seem to have requested a dramatic loss of weight by Christmas. I can only assume that the cosmos has attempted to bring it about by withholding the wages that I would normally spend on food.

Universe, please allow me to clarify:

While immensely grateful for your efforts to date, I request all the outstanding money that is owed to me £8,334 to lavish on healthy foodstuffs and a personal trainer to transform me into a trim, firm, and nubile object of desire. Also 12 lovely new members for my weekly groups, a brown-haired Barbie and a pink sword with a skeleton on it for DD's, and my missing poodle returned home with all possible haste. Please.

You do have to be careful. At risk of outing myself; Last new year, my fiancé, his brother and partner and I wrote wishes on one of those highly dangerous and messy lantern things. The boys didn't take it too seriously, but I wrote that I wanted a baby, and fiance's brothers gf wrote a ring. Our wedding was already booked and I was (still am) almost unbearably broody. They had been together for a while and she wanted commitment.

Ffw nearly a year; my nephew is a few weeks old (do the maths, it was days) and my bil's now fiancée's swollen pg fingers have gone down enough to put her gorgeous ring back on. Our wedding was perfect, and I suppose technically my DH and I got rings too! But no sign of a bump ( even though we haven't been trying, I thought the universe might have sent me an accident).

My theory is that the wobbly flight of our lantern confused the cosmos. This year I will be more specific!
