Dear Reader,
You may have already read one of my books on wishing or cosmic ordering, but in case this is the first book on the subject you have chosen (or been given), I would like to begin by explaining briefly what cosmic ordering is all about.
Cosmic ordering means asking the whole of creation for help when you have a problem you cant solve yourself.
I call it the Cosmos, but you could call it God, Creation, your guardian angel, Allah, your higher self or whatever form of address you feel most comfortable with.
The way I see it, our universe is a whole that consists of parts us. God didnt create the world, but rather became the world. If you look at it from this perspective, we are all individual parts of a living whole and, in essence, all is one.
If everything is one, then it doesnt matter how you choose to address this oneness or any part of it (in the sense that each form of address is equally valid). We are always seeking contact with ourselves. We are independent parts of this oneness, but we are always connected to the whole. The entire cosmos listens to us constantly, and it answers and reacts to the messages we send out.
The only question is whether we hear the answers.
I have written this little book of 21 Golden Rules and exercises to enable us to better hear and understand these answers.
THE MORE JOYFUL AND CHILDLIKE YOUR APPROACH TO LIFE IS, THE LESS THERE IS TO DO
Many Indian gurus believe that the world was not created for us to work to repay the debt for our sins. If that were true, the world would never have been created in order for there to be no opportunities for sinning. In the Far East, people are convinced that God created the world simply out of joy, and that mankind expresses Gods regard for the wonder of creation, in that man has become the protector of all living things. A lack of care for other humans, animals and nature thus shows a lack of values.
The view of these masters is that happy people are closest to godliness and their own creative power, as happiness is the resonance of godliness.
The more you are thankful for and value life, the happier and more childishly unself-conscious you are, and the easier it is for you to automatically allow life to direct and lead you. Anyone who incorporates singing, dancing and childish play in their life is being led by the cosmos and can hear the answers it provides. This person probably does not need to read this book, as they will already have everything they need to communicate with the cosmos.
The more we lose our joy in existing in the present moment, or the stiffer, more blunted and joyless we have already become in our daily lives, the more practice we will need to find our way back to our true natures and to always hear the voice of the cosmic delivery man in time.
THE STATE OF OUR INNER SELF CREATES THE ENVIRONMENT AROUNDS US
There was recently an interesting post about this in my forum at www.baerbelmohr.de. Someone had read the book Ich wei, was du denkst (I Know What You Are Thinking not available in English) by Thorsten Havener and had found a description of a study by Richard Wiseman in it.
Wiseman was looking for people who described themselves either as lucky devils or jinxes. He then carried out an experiment with both groups of people, similar to the moonwalking bear awareness test on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4). In this test, a team in white and a team in black are playing a ball game, and you have to count how often the white team passes the ball. So you focus entirely on the white team and dutifully count the number of passes. And when, at the end, the commentator asks if you saw the dancing bear moonwalking over the court, most people cant believe it: Bear? What bear? is their response.
In the video, a person dressed in a bear costume really does dance right through the players, and most viewers fail to spot him. Why? Its very simple. You didnt order a bear from the cosmos, and so your consciousness filtered it out
Or, to put it another way, you were concentrating so hard on counting and not making a mistake that you didnt notice the bear.
The results from the lucky devils and the jinxes study were similar. Both groups were asked to count the number of images on a page of a newspaper. In the middle, there was a huge advertisement with the following message: You will win 100 if you tell your tester that you have seen this advert.
Almost all of the lucky devils saw the advert and won the money. But the jinxes put themselves under so much pressure to count the number of images that they always overlooked the advert.
This is a wonderful example of how our inner state creates the environment around us. When we are under stress or pressure, feel angry, have low self-esteem, etc., it is all too easy for us to overlook the opportunities that life offers, and our intuition and inner compass are turned off drowned out by stress. We continually meet resistance instead of achieving what we desire.
People who approach things in a relaxed way, however (such as people who are convinced that they are lucky devils), have their senses open to new opportunities, and their intuition and inner compass work perfectly.
Therefore, our most important task every time is to make and keep ourselves receptive to cosmic deliveries, wish-fulfilment and intuitive inputs. We dont have to use our powers of persuasion to make the cosmos deliver, but rather have to learn to open our heart and eyes so that we recognise its deliveries.
