Life is stranger than fiction; my new partner was the manageress of the service station that I was working at. I found out later that the reason she had employed me was a mistake. At the interview she had thought that I was not a bad chap, but another person seemed to be better qualified for the position. The rejection and acceptance letters had been mixed up so I got the job. Earning and Learning took on a whole new meaning now; it was very much a physically real experience. The mechanics of living in the real world, doing what I felt was right had to be put into practice otherwise the lessons learnt would have no meaning or purpose. From now on I felt as though I was on my own, I had to work things out.
This is an important progression from blindly believing in what guides tell you. To truly use the powers of the universe there must be balance and a connection to the highest possible source of energy, wisdom and truth. Your own belief in yourself and a greater plan comes from constantly testing yourself to see what works and what does not. There is no set way of doing things. After a while a sixth sense integrates itself into your everyday living. There are numerous decisions to be made every minute of every day, some important and some not. Starting with the apparently unimportant ones, I tried to do what felt right. It does not have to be mind-blowing. However small the connection to the mass of energy flow around us, the more we use it the greater trust we have in it and by definition the bigger and stronger the connection gets. Trusting can take a long time to learn; it will come given the time and will to develop. Whenever something is needed, a situation will present itself to gain the knowledge, skill or physical mechanics to get done whatever needs to be done. Even if you do not feel connected to any great power, if you are honest and look at all things with an open mind answers arrive with alarming regularity.
