Conspiracy Theories

Over the past few days, news of Omar Abdullah being the youngest CM at 38 has been doing rounds. Just after the results of the poll, he commented - "If you really want something, the universe conspires for it, and you get it". And i have been wondering, how true is the Alchemist Theory by Paulo Coelho. Do the laws of Attraction really exist?

Do we really get what we want and desire? Is there some mystical powerful entity in our universe that works like an undercover agent to get us what we want. If we truly desire something and firmly believe its possible, the laws of attraction will work, says the Alchemist Theory. The only pre-condition is - you should know what you want and be receptible to whatever comes our way. Maybe, coz in the grander scheme of things, its the plan the universe has for you, which is unfolding.

Remember SRK as Om in Om Shanti Om saying - Kitni shiddat se tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai.. Ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai..Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko agar dil se chaho to saari kayanaat tumhe usse milane ki koshish me lag jaati hai. And he did get what he wanted.

So its the heart, that will get us to the place we want, the brain may have the logic and makes you think and then those little voices in the head sow the seeds of doubt. And then when there is a doubt, the conviction to want something isnt at its best. The brain dilutes what the heart says.

Probably thats why Santa and Children are inseparable. Arent, children blissfully happy? They do what they feel like doing, without applying the mind to judge things. As a child, the purity in the wish and strong belief in Santa gets them what they write on a piece of paper and hang it in the stocking by the christmas tree or mail it to Santa at North Pole. And then we grow up, the brain starts doing what it does best - trying to put logic into everything. And the Santa Claus magic does not work for us anymore. No adult would believe in the legend of Santa. We let the brain rule and ruin the happiness we used to have a kid.

So listen to your heart when its calling for you. Next time you drop a coin in the wishing well - make sure the wish is doubt proof and you know what you want. Nourish the child in you. Wish earnestly like a child, let the Laws of Attraction work and the world will be at your feet.

Wishful thinking till then.
