Re: hmmm.. This has happened to me in my personal life so many times that not everything can be attributable to chance. So I have wondered the same thing myself. It is very difficult to prove it except that there is a saying: ask, it will be given to you. Seek, you will find it....or something like that. Many years ago, one of my meditation students, told me that she had a lot of financial problems and thinking to pray for $50,000. She said, she read sonewhere that if she will write down this and attach to the refrigerator, and pray intensely to God, she may get it. At least that is the theory. I asked her what is the life insurance policy of her husband. She said $50,000 !!! So, I told her, be careful what you ask for and how you ask for.... Risky, I would like to hear more about your thoughts on this. May be we are unto something....
