You're not supposed to be able to see it with your eyes first, Laurel. It wouldn't be called "manifesting" if you could.
Laurel, see it with your mind first.
That's what it's there for, sort of -
The Universe
Laurel, feel it, whatever it is you want, feel it now, as if you already have it.
The sad part, Laurel, is that they told you it's wrong to be selfish, tacky to be vain, vulgar to be sexy, and wasteful to be rich.
The happy part is that they were just making all that up.
Probably just jealous of all you might do, be, and have. And afraid of all they might not.
Uh-oh... one of them is in trouble now, gotta bolt!
The Universe
Laurel, follow your heart and get your groove on because, no matter what anyone said, it's never too late to have it all.
Laurel, if anyone should ever ask if you're enlightened...
ALWAYS SAY, "YES!"
Same goes for being healthy, wealthy, and loved beyond imagination.
Got it?
The Universe
Laurel, your word is your wand.
Laurel, without a doubt, right here and now, as you read these very words with eyes that sparkle, this golden day, amid your dancing manifestations in a perfect world on an emerald planet while your heart beats, your blood flows, and angels peer over your shoulder, I think you just might be the "luckiest" person alive.
The Universe
Oh, Laurel, where would we be without email?

Gosh, you're right, Laurel, we do have tons in common. This could have been mine.
I'd hire you -
The Universe
Laurel, I'd be careful sharing this with most of your prospects, if you know what I mean. They might think you're bragging with the "cute, cute, cute."
"Reality," Laurel, is not that you are weak, and dream of becoming strong. Poor, and dream of becoming rich. Alone, and dream of having friends. But that you're already strong, rich, and among friends. Yet, at times, dream that you're not.
Silly,
The Universe
How would you like it if I saw lack, while surrounded in abundance? I know, I know, Laurel... you'd still love me blindly.
Until everyone believes in their own ability to say exactly the right thing, at exactly the right time, to exactly the right person, then allow me:
Laurel, everyone wants to be your friend. Everyone.
You're just cool.
The Universe
Laurel, and those who are your friends... are tickled pink.
Laurel, if it was just about surviving, getting by, and keeping things the way they are, then how would you explain imagination?
If it was just about sacrifice, selflessness, and altruism, then how would you explain desire?
And if it was just about thinking, reflection, and spiritual stuff, then how would you explain the physical world?
Get the picture, Laurel? Want it all. That's what it's there for.
Vroom, vroom -
The Universe
And if it was just about working, Laurel, how would you explain weekends?
If you knew of a spectacular mountain that was very, very tall, yet climbable. And if it was well established that from its peak, you could literally see all the love that bathes the world, dance with the angels, and party with the gods. Would you curse or celebrate each step you took as you ascended it?
Right-o!
Laurel, life is that mountain and each day a step.
Perspectives change everything,
The Universe
Fear not. Last time I checked, Laurel, you were so close to the top they were taking your toga measurements.
"Grasshopper," you may not always know what your invisible, limiting beliefs are. But you do always know the kinds of empowering beliefs you'd like to possess. And so, Laurel, one decision at a time, one day at a time, you can choose to behave accordingly. And thereby effectively kick some wicked, limiting-belief-butt.
Wa-so,
The Universe
Laurel, for every decision, crossroads, or act of faith, choose with the mind of the highest within you. Until that's all there is.
Time and space, Laurel, what a hoot. Look to them for answers, direction, and meaning, and they'll rock your world in every which way.
Yet discover that they look to you for answers, direction, and meaning, and you will rock the world.
Take my word for it, the latter is your "ticket."
Tallyho, maestro -
The Universe
Laurel, what an adventure, if I do say so myself.
Enjoy your thoughts, take time to visualize, and meditate to soothe your soul. But, Laurel, whatever you do, please don't forget to spend a little energy, every single day, physically doing stuff and loving every second of it.
Because you can,
The Universe
After all, Laurel, matter is pure spirit, only more so.
Laurel, I hope you're loving your life. And I do mean really, really loving your life.
Because right now there are so many others who are (loving your life). In time and space, and in the unseen.
No, not all of them will admit it, but I know these things, and one day they'll know them, too.
Big hug,
The Universe
Laurel, especially me.
Laurel, there are no challenges, issues, or crises that do not contain within them seeds of opportunity that could not have otherwise existed.
Tallyho,
The Universe
Laurel, bet you didn't know how lucky you were!
Well, Laurel, by this point in the day, if my calculations are correct, I expect you've already begun thinking of yourself as "mere mortal." Somewhat alone, a little bit confused, and responsible for figuring out how to make your life take off.
So... just thought I'd send you a reminder that at this very moment, there are a million eyes upon you, grateful for your courage; that you already know all you need to know; and that whether or not you can see it, you're already soaring.
"Houston to Laurel," nice blast-off -
The Universe
Laurel, bravo Master.
Laurel, of all the joys on earth, few compare to the crowning glory of achieving against the odds, succeeding in the face of peril, or triumphing over adversity.
Wouldn't you say?
Yet in every such case, without exception, the poor odds, the peril, and the adversity must come first.
Ba-boom,
The Universe
Laurel, feeling blessed?
Laurel, when you move, I move. When you reach, I reach. And when you go the extra mile, I clear the way. But not a moment sooner.
Which is why before you move, reach, and go, things sometimes look so scary.
Just like that,
The Universe
Laurel, "I do" if "you do." Settled? I now pronounce us unstoppable.
Laurel, do you know what it's going to feel like when the day comes and everything you now want has come to pass? When you're living in total abundance, in perfect health, looking fabulous, with friends and laughter wherever you go?
It's going to feel like, "Yeah... of course."
That's how well I know you,
The Universe
Laurel, why not feel it right now? Visualize
So I was thinking, Laurel... I know you know that there's the "you" that you know you are - adventurous, good-looking, and fun to be around.
And I know you know that there's another part of "you" in the unseen who you've kind of temporarily forgotten - who completes you, loves you, and knows what's really going on.
Well, how'd you like it if I removed the veils? Just for a second? Gave you a glimpse of who that special, divine, otherworldly essence is, so that you might at last begin to comprehend how extraordinary, sublime, and divine you really are?
Okay?
It's me,
The entire Universe
Surprise, surprise, surprise. What, Laurel? You were expecting some little Tinker Bell?
Laurel, want to know what's better than having it all? Way, way better?
Not having it all, but knowing of its inevitability, in a never-ending adventure that's just barely begun.
Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The Universe
Laurel, kind of like Friday just before the weekend.
