Placing Your Order with the Universe podcast

Today Steve has posted a new podcast I recorded called Placing Your Order with the Universe. It’s a parable I’ve created to explain the Law of Attraction as I understand it, in a manner that might make it easier for you to understand if you’re having any trouble.
It took me a good 4 exposures to the Law of Attraction before I finally got it. The movie, The Secret, is really what tipped me over the edge. Plus, watching Steve putting his intention-manifestation model of reality to the test over and over again helped too.
You don’t need any special devices or equipment to listen to the podcast. You can listen to it right through your computer speakers.

Erin,
I love your podcasts! You have a very engaging style, very expressive.
The parable form is really nice, too; it definitely cleared up some points for me.
It left me wondering this, though:
It seems like it’s impossible to go to the restaurant and order a bacon double cheeseburger with no hardened arteries. If that’s the case, you can’t just order whatever you want; there are certain things you can have, and certain things you can’t. Another way of thinking about it: you can order anything, but you have to accept the consequences. Is that right?

Just listened. That is a phenomenal analogy. I’ve been carted off to jail already. I’m back and I’m waiting. Thanks for the reminder that it’s coming.

Jeff, yes.
On one level, if you order a bacon double cheeseburger than yeah, you have to accept the hardened arteries that come with it. When you order that burger you are also ordering everything else about that burger. Just like if you were to decide to steal money you accept the risk that it inherent in stealing it. There are other ways of acquiring money, just like there are other ways of obtaining calories, that aren’t so detrimental to your health.
Now, you could approach it like I do and order a vegan version of a bacon double cheeseburger and then a whole lot of that guilt and a whole mess of calories, fat and cholesterol just go bye bye.

Ok! In that case I have a follow-up question:
Do the menu items come with nutrition information? Or do you just have to order things and see how you feel afterwards?…
Maybe, as a medium, you (Erin) can read the nutrition information and warning labels on what people are eating (or about to eat).
October 28th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
Nutritional information is available upon request.
Some people don’t know they can get that kind of info. Some people know they can get it but don’t ask for it because they don’t want to know or dont’ think it’s important. And some people know it exists and ask for for it before they place their order so they can plan better and be healthy in their request.
And yeah, sometimes I’m the one that says, “hey, did you know that has 850 calories per serving?”

Thanks for clearing this up in a language easy to understand.. bacon double cheeseburgers..
“Law of Attraction and the intention-manifestation model of reality” sounds awfully complicated to understand.

Thanks, Erin, I’m going to refer some clients and students to your podcast, since The Law of Attraction is something that works particularly strongly with regard to people’s health. It’s one reason a particular treatment can work perfectly for one person but not at all for someone who has the exact same problem. Your parable takes this out of the realm of “energy” and into the tangible, physical realm. Well done!

Thanks Erin for that podcast! I bought a copy of “The Secret” and have watched it about twenty times to make sure I understand how the law of attraction works. Since then I have attreacted more freelance design work, $500 and dinners out from my husband (when I didn’t feel like cooking) without even asking him. Those are smaller items and I am now trying to manifest our own home. A home we can own ourselves. We have lived in an apartment for over six years, in a place where homes are very expensive. We have found one we really like and it needs some major work. So we are doing some research before making an offer, But we both are so very attracted to this house. We also have to wait to hear about some test results for my husband’s exam from a class. We should know the results within two more weeks, but I am intending to hear within one week. This alone determines what steps to make next with this house we want to bid on, so waiting is hard, but I am being patient. I have this strong feeling that the house is meant to be ours. I am not nervous or anxious about it as I normally would be. I have written out my goals and intentions and focus on them daily. I’ll let you know if it works!

Great work. Your analogies make it easier to comprehend.

I really enjoyed your podcast, escpecially the part about how you can be tempted by the things you don’t really want if you see it all around you. The whole cheesburger analogy was great as everyone else is getting them and you get all frustrated because your meal hasn’t come yet. I thought it was brilliant. It’s a very complex topic, the Law of Attraction, and I’m glad you were able to understand it through some analogy and were also able to bring that analogy or your own (I’m not sure which) to us as a mass media to concisely explain this Law and how it works through something we can all relate to. Good job, Erin.

[...] The I-M model has been detailed in The Secret, though perhaps with too much ‘fluff’. It is also spoken about extensively by Steve Pavlina, as well as described in a podcast by Erin Pavlina. [...]
