Do you really want these things to happen ...

Here's a start, to the list of sentences and expressions in 'unconscious language' -- do feel free to contribute to the list:

- If you say/do this, or that, I'll have a heart-attack

- I'm such an idiot

- I'm so forgetful; I hope it isn't the start to Alzheimers (said jokingly)

- I'm losing my mind

- Don't laugh too much; or you'll cry later

- ... attract the evil eye

- With my kind of luck, this'll never work out

- All the women/men in my family died of this dreaded disease (saying this in a fatalistic sense, that you expect to go the same way)

- Oh, nothing can be done - we have to accept things as they are

- Just suck up, and do it! (Never, never, never, 'suck up' anything -- breathe it O-U-T ... nice and slowly :-), till there's a sense of balance within - then decide, from a calm and collected place, what it is you want to do :-)! )

- It doesn't pay to be honest

- True friendship/love is a myth


I've tried to compile a very general list here, but I hope you're getting the drift. "Oh," you may say for some of the above, "it's just a joke." Well, sorry to burst your bubble - but the Universe is very literal - it doesn't have a sense of humor. What you say is what you get.

I'm going to share a really spooky example with you. One of the first people to read my blog and leave a comment was my very dear friend Libby Parker (check her out at solutionsfromwithin.ca). About 5 days ago, I wrote my comments on all the comments received here, and in describing Libby I referred to her as 'a-partner-in-crime', because we were planning to collaborate on a project. Even as I wrote that, I began second-guessing myself because the word crime felt distasteful - but then I thought that I'm perhaps taking this 'conscious language' idea to the level of hair-splitting, and decided to leave it. And guess what? I called her place two days ago and her partner picked up the phone - recognizing my voice, he said: "Hey Kiki, we haven't heard from you in so long - what happened to you?" - and jokingly added, "Were you in jail?" I kid you not - this is the truth! I was so flabbergasted. He thought he was having fun but I couldn't get over it. I told him I'd been busy and would drop in, but not in the very near future, and before I could tell him I was going away for the holidays, he cut me by saying: "Why? You're not going to jail again, are you?" - while laughing away, really unnerving me ... Today, I decided to remove the reference to crime in my comment on Libby's comment.

Some might say 'coincidence' -- but I say there's no such thing as coincidence, because the word for events happening in conjunction, is 'synchronicity'.

Until tomorrow,

Kiki ;-)
