Mike Dooley and his cosmic alter-ego, "The Universe," offer equal parts wisdom and wit in this companion piece to Infinite Possibilites.
It's a metaphysical book that demystifies the magic of how the law of attraction and physical manifestation work.
Equally, it's a practical "How-To" book about believing in the magic of your ability to dream and create anything you set your heart upon.
For many of us, the hard part is figuring out what it is that we want.
According to Dooley, if you get too specific with what he calls "The Cursed Hows," you throttle the creative force of the universe.
He offers a Matrix - a kind of cosmic crib sheet - to help guide your visualizations.
It illustrates how your thoughts and emotions are the only things entirely under your control, and if you focus on progressively specific details, the message of what you want gets more and more diluted and dependent on other people.
If, on the other hand, you focus on pouring good feelings and expectation into a more general desire for Happiness, Health, Abundance and the like - part of his "Fantastic 5" - you unleash the full power of the universe to fill in the blanks, and fulfill your desires in wonderful and even unexpected ways.
The book is punctuated with useful visualizations and exercises that really make you stop and think about your thoughts! You begin to realize the power they have to manifest good and not-so-good.
According to Dooley, "All you ever have to do to manifest change is define what you want in terms of the end result" and then "put your car in gear.
" The direction you move in is not as important as the fact that you are moving.
Let the Universe arrange the details.
It's good at that...
