Intro

Anyone informed that the Universe is expanding and contracting in pulsations of eighty billion years has a right to ask, Whats in it for me?

Peter De Vries (American comic visionary, editor, novelist)

Because its magic, something out of nothing. The paranormal became normal.

Just Ask the Universe is not a book of New Age gobbledygook filled with empty promises. Angels won't fly from above and touch you while youre reading. Billion-dollar boys clubs have not passed this book down for generations. This book has not been read by any president. It is not resting in an Ivy League school library. It is not a book that CEOs of Fortune 500 companies have read.

I have no intentions of asking you to practice unusual or tedious rituals. There will be no channeling of your inner chakras or dressing like Friar Tuck.

Just Ask the Universe is a realistic guide to personal development. This journey you are about to embark upon requires you to create a blueprint for self-growth and self-improvement that can help you build a more desirable future.

Im no sage. I wont preach to you, but I will introduce you to techniques that have clearly worked for me and will most definitely work for you. You can have anything in this world. Everything you desire is all around you. You just have to learn to ask for it in a precise way.

I have attracted virtuous things in my life (health, money, love and business successes to name a few) because I followed successful people and their ideologies. Success had left me hints along my path in life, but I had to open up my mind in order to find these signs. I have read hundreds of books on self-improvement, spirituality, and the metaphysical. Some revealed Aha! moments in my life, and some were a waste of time.

This book would not exist today if it were not for the following thought teachers (in no particular order): Wallace Wattles, Anthony Robbins, Rhonda Byrne, Henriette Anne Klausner, Joseph Murphy, Robert Collier, George Anderson, Mike Dooley, William Atkinson, Thomas Troward, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Joel Osteen, John Edward, Ernest Holmes, P. T. Barnum, Benjamin Franklin, Charles F. Haanel, Florence Scovel Shinn, Bruce Lipton, Ralph Waldo Trine, W. Clement Stone, Jose Silva, Emile Coue, and Napoleon Hill.

They all teach a unified lesson: if your thoughts are clear and in harmony with your mind and the truth of your surroundings, your life can be filled with all the richness the Universe has to offer.

I have accumulated the best wisdom from each of these teachers and applied it to my life. The final creation is this book. These methods work, and they have been systematically tested by me and the authors mentioned. The evidence - the things that have entered my life - is indisputable.

I wrote Just Ask the Universe because I want to share these invaluable lessons with you. It is truly a secret that was never taught to us in school. I like to think that we are all part of a different school, one that I call Universe-ity.

I want you to realize your dreams. Regardless of your present circumstances, you can achieve whatever you think and believe. I feel blessed to have learned these methods and I would love to share them with you.

If you follow the principles in this book, you will surely get everything you desire.

All you have to do is just ask the Universe.

Michael

Chapter 1

Getting Here

If you do what youve always done, youll get what youve always gotten.

Tony Robbins

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, Wheres the self-help section? She said if she told me, it would defeat the whole purpose.

George Carlin

T he Universe has been at your command every day of your life. Most people have this idea all mixed up. They believe they are at the mercy of the Universe. Pessimism is just a part of their life, and they believe there is nothing they can do about what happens to them. Nonsense! The total opposite is the truth.

The Universe is completely at your beck and call. It is gracious and compliant to you and will constantly respond to your requests.

Its your Universe, and you can grasp it at any time to attain whatever you please. I know that sounds far-fetched, but I have actually witnessed miraculous events in my life that I wouldnt have thought were possible at the time I wrote them down. But these wishes really came true and I certainly believe none of them came about by happenstance. These were not flukes.

As Ive learned through experiencing lifes labor pains, the Universe will give you anything you want, both the pleasurable and the painful. You can manipulate the Universe however you please, but there are laws and rules you must obey.

Poor Me

I can tell you quite frankly that I wasnt born with this positive mental attitude. I had to learn these beliefs. I originally believed our existence on earth was just a random roll of the dice. I felt people entered and left my life with no lessons to be learned. I felt that if you couldnt see it, it didnt exist. I didnt think there was anything past my square box.

I would listen to interviews of wealthy or famous people and hear them all talk about their Universe. I may have been hearing the sounds of their voices, but I wasnt listening to their hidden message. I personally believed anyone who had anything to do with spirituality was batty.

I once watched a biography of a famous comedian, and he said he had signed a check at his fathers funeral for twenty million dollars and buried him with it. He said he was going to earn that one day. He ended up making some of the funniest movies ever, and he eventually earned twenty million dollars per picture. I believed it was pure luck.

During an interview with a famous actor/rapper, the journalist asked him how hed gotten to be so famous at such a young age and how he managed to marry one of the most famous pop singers in the world. He simply answered, I asked the Universe. I thought this was just another multimillionaire brat who was in the right place at the right time.
