Manifestation of Desires?

[loose id]

I'm starting to notice something weird. Over the last few years I have hoped for several big things to happen, and somehow they do. I don't persue these things. They just sorta happen. EXAMPLE: I wanted to go to Amsterdam for the longest time. For some reason I got involved with this club at school that I had little interest in. I joined it just for the easy credits. The second year being with this club, they unexpectedly announce we are going to a conference to Amsterdam ON THE SCHOOL'S DOLLAR. This isn't the only example, its just a good one. Its almost as if I will formulate something I really want. Dream about it, and then forget about it for a while. Sure enough, a couple weeks/months/years later it somehow happens. ANOTHER SEEMINGLY UNRELATED EXAMPLE: When I was 2 or 3, I used to tell this lie that my parents and I used to live in a big white house on a hill. I wasn't one of those storytelling lying types, so it always annoyed my parents. My mother recently pointed out to me, matter-of-factly, that they (and myself for a short period) live in a large white house (6 bedroom, 4 bath) on a hill. White houses are fairly common, as are hills, but when they were two small town teachers on a paycheck to paycheck budget, there was no way they could have expected to be where they are today. I guess my question is this. Is there some sort of precognition present in some people, not necessarily a "I see the future before it happens", but more like a "I expect this to happen" and it manifests? I have hundreds of friends who are under the impression they're going to be the next big rock star, the next great filmmaker, a millionaire, famous actress, and its almost certain they won't be. Its more like they HOPE for those things to rather than they KNOW they are going to happen. What differentiates between KNOWING something is going to come about and HOPING something comes about? Does this indicate certain things are fated, or that there is this blank command prompt in nature that only certain people can direct? I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to ask, as I read this over, I don't think I can really explain what I'm thinking... Peace.

One more thing... Is it possible that only somethings I have KNOWN were going to happen I remember because they are the ones that did manifest? And that there were other things I thought I KNEW were going to happen, but I forgot those things because they didn't? Maybe my hope that my desires will manifest has caused me to be selective in my memories? Just another thing to throw out there.

Why don't you manifest a better memory and test both theories . I think you are on the right track, keep going .

I totally understand what you ae saying. It's called the power of suggestion.You're right about one thing though some peoples have it a lot more than others. Just look at peoples like Mr Schwarzennegger (Senator Shwarzennegger), he was a small town boy with one thing on it's Austrian mind, comming to America and have the american dream.I've followed his life in a sense, i was (in my younger years) very heavy in bodybuilding right there when Arnold was beginning his career in it. Of course he was my idol like everyone in the sport. But back to the point, this man can visualise something and totally beleive that he can acheive it to the point of realisation,. I obviously dont know his secret, otherwise i'd be making films and millions too loll, but the point is this guy started with absolutely nothing but a gym bag in america and today governor of the largest state in the US.This is a gift? no not really, just some part of the brains that can be working more or less. More for this perticular guy, and say less for another one following the same track called Lou Ferrigno (the hulk) who was toe to toe in the bodybuilding sport at one time and now an old fat guy,The diffrence is the visualisation of your desire and the ability of your brains to open that part where it works for you instead of simply stuffing it into the hope folder. Some people even won lotteries twice, three times, this isn't just luck, millions of possibilities and striking 2-3 times at the same spot, i strongly doubt it.
