E2 - First Experiment, pt. 1

A friend of mine gave me Pam Grout's E2 (E-Squared) book for my birthday this year.  Here's the Amazon synopsis:

      E-Squared could best be described as a lab manual with simple experiments to prove once and for all that reality is malleable, that consciousness trumps matter, and that you shape your life with your mind. Rather than take it on faith, you are invited to conduct nine 48-hour experiments to prove there really is a positive, loving, totally hip force in the universe. Yes, you read that right. It says prove.
      The experiments, each of which can be conducted with absolutely no money and very little time expenditure, demonstrate that spiritual principles are as dependable as gravity, as consistent as Newton’s laws of motion. For years, you've been hoping and praying that spiritual principles are true. Now, you can know.
      E-Squared proves the following:

1.       There is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities.
2.       You impact the field and draw from it according to your beliefs and expectations.
3.       You, too, are a field of energy.
4.       Whatever you focus on expands.
5.       Your connection to the field provides accurate and unlimited guidance.
6.       Your thoughts and consciousness impact matter.
7.       Your thoughts and consciousness provide the scaffolding for your physical body.
8.       You are connected to everything and everyone else in the universe.
9.       The universe is limitless, abundant, and strangely accommodating.

I began Experiment #1 (I'm "proving" to myself within a 48-hour timeframe that there is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities) at 10:43 last night.  Essentially, I have asked God, the Universe & Everything for a gift - an unexpected gift - to arrive by 10:45 on Nov. 19th.  I am to be vigilant and expecting of this gift and to document this experience.

Surprisingly, I do believe that I'm worthy of receiving the gift (which would have been issue for me a few years' back) but I have had a difficult time with the following concepts:
1 - I believe (apparently in error) that there has to be a trade-off.  I have to do something nice for someone else before I get my gift.
2 - There is a difference between a "kindness" and a gift and if the Universe knows the difference, apparently I'm not real clear on it yet.
3 - Unexpected, unexpected, unexpected.  I keep wanting to specify and define what my gift should be.  (Apparently this will be a later experiment.)

So I asked the "FP" for my gift last night, closed the book, and my stand-offish cat came over, sat next to me and began purring.  She never does this.  Was this my gift?  Hmmm.  It's nice and all, but I expected...more.  ("Unexpected, unexpected!")  Maybe she's a conduit?  Maybe she picked up on my shift in energy?  Time will tell.  (The next 48 hours, to be exact.)

I woke up this morning and we had 2 fence posts snap off in the heavy winds last night.  Our property is covered in big, house-crushing trees so I'm grateful it was just 2 little fence posts that can be replaced at minimal cost.  Was that my gift?  Hmmm.  Seems a rather back-handed gift.  "It could be worse" is not really a gift.  That's where the idea sprang into my mind of "kindnesses" vs. "gifts."  It was a kindness that the FP didn't squash me or my horses or cats...but not what I would define as a gift.

As I was going to my car for my commute to work, I noticed a huge, fuzzy caterpillar just behind the tire of my car.  This thing was immense.  He was also on a stick, so I picked up said stick and moved him to a safe place where he could go about the long-overdue task of spinning his cocoon.  Came back to the car and scanned the ground again, just to be sure I hadn't missed any more critters.  And there in the gravel of the driveway was a pin I'd lost a couple of weeks ago for my tensor bandage.  I would have sworn on a stack of Bibles that this pin was lost somewhere at work - I had it on in the morning when I came in (I've sprained something at the base of my thumb) and 2 hours later, it had disappeared.  I looked everywhere at work for it and was quite upset that it was gone since it's so much easier to secure the bandage with those things, rather than using safety pins.  I had given up on it awhile ago, however - it wasn't that big of a deal.  Was that my gift?  Hmmmm.  Now, don't get me wrong, FP - that's pretty cool that 2 weeks later this little needle shows up in its global haystack...and I expressed my gratitude for its return.  But my gratitude has admittedly been followed up with "Now, BIGGER!"  (And did my saving the caterpillar cause me to find the pin?  IS there a trade-off required???)

Less than 36 hours to go.  The observation continues.
