"it is only the feeling of vulnerability that ever puts you into a vibrational harmony with that which you fear. When you realize that by working to achieve your feeling of Well-being, it is then impossible for you to ever rendezvous with anything other than Well-being — that is the only place that freedom will ever be."--- Abraham
The above is a school of thought that teaches that our emotions are what attract our experiences in life. I had a recent experience that would seem to support that. We are in the midst of record-setting heat and drought. We have not had measurable rain since the first week of June. Our neighbor's well quit giving good water and was just drawing sludge. I started worrying about our own well, how I better conserve water, better not water the lawn, found myself thinking that I sure hope our well does not go dry. Then one day in watering the vegetables in the greenhouse, in a distracted moment, I left the water running in the hose and forgot about it. Some time later I turned on the kitchen faucet, and --- no water. Realizing quickly what I must have done, I turned off the outside faucet and then I had water. But, I had run the well into the sludgy sediment at the bottom. Gratefully, I can tell you that this ends well (my fear was having to drill a new well). Our well is fine. It may even be better because of clearing out some of the deposit in the bottom. But, the lesson here for me is that I was worrying for two-three week about our well running out of clear water before I actually created that reality by leaving a faucet open. Is it possible that in my worrying I created what I was worrying about? I think it is a real possibility, and I henceforth proclaim that I will prevent my thoughts from going to worrying about anything. Well being: that is the freedom I want and that is the place where I choose for my thoughts to reside. And, my daughter gave me the most brilliant idea: to put a nozzle on the end of the hose that one has to squeeze for the water to come out. That way I will never leave the water running again. So, today I am in gratitude for my efficient well which provides pure, plentiful and clean water for me; and I am grateful for this micro-lesson in choosing my thoughts and never engaging in fear and worry. Not even worry about what the disease of Lewy Bodies Dementia has in store for us.
