Conscious Creation Stories of the Week

In this issue, we’ll look at how a few famous people manifested their future:

• From USA Today: “Just before Brian Boitano was about to skate the long program of his life, he thought of a dream a training partner had of seeing the Olympic rings and panicking.  As the seconds ticked before his program music to Napoleon was about to play at the Saddledome in Calgary, Boitano glanced at those Olympic rings.  But unlike the nightmare, he didn’t panic.  “I imagined these gold grids on the ice and they were telling me, ‘You pass through one gate and then another.’  It was about taking one thing at a time.  It wasn’t so much ‘I’m thinking of my triple lutz now.’  It was, ‘Now I’m doing a crossover.’  I had thought about each and every movement.’  It paid off in a gold medal.”

• From The Los Angeles Times: “When Bobby Jindal lost his first race for Louisiana governor four years ago, some experts told him white people there were not ready to elect a dark-skinned son of Indian immigrants.  On Tuesday, as he dashed across the state in a victory caravan after his historic landslide win, Louisiana governor-elect had a message for his supporters: Thank you for proving the conventional political wisdom wrong.”  Jindal never lost his vision of being governor despite the odds and the prognostications.

• From The Los Angeles Times:  On the day Oprah Winfrey announced her deal with Discovery Communications for her new TV network called OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, the times noted: “Winfrey said she wrote in her diary 15 years ago that her goal was to one day create her own TV network, named OWN, that would be an extension of her show.  The name, she said, means more than “The Oprah Winfrey Network.”  “It’s about owning yourself, owning your possibilities and owning your future,” she said.  “When I wrote that down in my journal on May 24, 1992, I said to myself: ‘Look at that.  Isn’t it great how the name worked out that way?  And this announcement today fulfills my vision.”
