And Enter $2,000 Check...For NO Reason

One lovely fall day I was the passenger in a car with my ex-husband and my two daughters. We were driving in a family car parade to my nephew's town recreation soccer game. My sister was in the front car, followed by my father in his car, and then us bringing up the rear.

It was an unusual set up as my father was not often an attendee of these events and although my ex and I are good friends, we didn't often go to an event of my niece or nephews together. As I completely love family and the times when we can get together, I was very happy. As we drove to the game I began talking about my profound understanding of physics. I chatted about vibration, fluidity, flow, unlimited possibilities, and the collective unconscious. I had always loved physics and now it felt as if my entire being truly understood it. From this conversation and my ex's total annoyance with me,that  the next phase of experiencing and knowing "it" arrived.

I was talking at almost light speed, no doubt, about the collective consciousness as an energy wave. I had come to realize that humans had the ability to participate more fully in the collective consciousness if we chose to put our attention and intention to knowing it. I could sense that I had lost my ex's attention, however I was on a roll, and when a wacky scientist is on a roll...we are having the best time of our lives and we are pretty much not aware of our surroundings!

Somehow my stream of consciousness enthusiastic rantings brought my ex to ask me this question, "So, do you mean that you believe that someone could, for no reason, come up to you and hand you a check for two thousand dollars?!"

I took his question, as challenging as he was to my beliefs, quite seriously. I remember how intensely I thought about this concept. Did I really believe, based on my investigations and theories, that someone could, for no reason, just hand me a check for two thousand dollars. I followed my thinking. I felt the energy flow of that possibility.

"Yes" I replied quite confidently. "Yes, I do believe that someone could come up to me and give me a check for two thousand dollars for no reason." The conviction I felt in my body claiming that belief truly felt powerful. It felt as if I was saying something that I had known forever and now, finally, with such centered confidence, I could say it out loud. "As long as I believe it could happen" I continued. "I am the only one who limits what happens in my life."

His reaction was somewhat predictable. "For crying out loud! You're ridiculous!" I could see how annoyed he was with my answer. This was a good thing for I was untouched by his reaction. I was so sure of what I had said and what I had come to know as true that no matter how ridiculous he told me that my thinking was, I was unaffected.

Ten minutes later we were pulling in to the parking lot at the fields. My sister pulled up close to the gate. My father drove to the right and parked and our car turned into a spot on the left opposite my father.

My car unloaded and as we were walking towards the field, my father, instead of coming to meet us to walk with us, called to me, "Aileen, come here for a minute."

I told my children and the ex that I would meet them at the field. I curiously approached my father.

"You know Aileen" he began, standing next to his car, "you never ask me for anything."

"That's right, Dad, I don't" I answered.

Oddly, there are a few images on the web for a $2,000 check. This is one of them. Thank you Alex Haley for writing this one in 1989 that I could use on my blog.

"Well, I have given things to your sister and your brother and so I'd like to give you something." He pulled out his checkbook and began writing. He finished and handed me a check...Two Thousand Dollars!!! I thanked him, he smiled and hugged me, and we walked together to the soccer field where, yes, I waved that two thousand dollar check in front of my ex with a joyful "I told you so" attitude.

My belief in energy vibrations and waves was challenged by my ex-husbands calling it out in the moment.  It was an invaluable opportunity for me to truly own my knowing. I grew my Spiritual and Physics muscles when I answered myself and then my ex-husband. It was perfect that the "muscle" of my convictions drew to me a two thousand dollar check for no reason, just as I had confirmed could and would happen should I let go of my limited belief that it never could or would. All of that intensive vibrational alignment, powerful confident energy, and receiving of what I resonated in and from my Being happened in about ten minutes. (our linear time system)

Today could be a first day to begin looking truly at what skepticism we have about the possibilities in our lives. Let's catch ourselves when we begin to say to ourselves and others, "You're ridiculous!" when we get scared about a possibility. When we snuff out the burning flame of possibility we impede ourselves, others, and humanity.

Today is a day to receive something wonderful, for no reason.
