When something good happens I think "the universe got my back". I'm aware of principal #1 of hermeticism - everything is mind, so I know it's not "the universe" but mind. And the other principles which tie in. Everything happens for a reason.
THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM: "All is mind, the Universe is Mental."
But I've started trusting this when something "bad" happens even though I cannot explain the reason.
For example today I was offered a really good golf driver for about 1/3 of the price it should be. Due to circumstance the only trousers I have to wear today are white/ivory coloured, and my dog pissed on them. Strike 1.
On top of that my debit card went walkies. I don't do credit so it's my only card. Looked everywhere and it's vanished completely yet I had it last night. Strike 2.
It's like the universe (mind) doesn't want me to go and buy this golf club. I don't know why. I mean it's good for me (social and fitness) it doesn't harm anyone, (I don't play golf just driving range so no chance of being caught up in a cult / rituals (we've seen the threads)). It gets me out.
Yet everything is part of one great mind so it's all for a reason, right?
