Cosmic Ordering a Man

Most people by now should have at least heard of Cosmic Ordering even if they don‘t know what it is, there are countless books on the subject and countless public figures pay tribute to it‘s magical powers. You just ask the universe for what you want and it will get it for you, that’s the theory. It can be as small as ’someone will buy me a cup of coffee today’ or as big as ’I want a husband’. Obviously it is not as simple as that though, nothing ever is, the trick to it is that you have to believe 100% that it will happen. That’s the problem, how many of us have 100% faith in something. Personally speaking this is my problem, ask me if I 100% believe in God and spirituality and I will answer Yes in a heartbeat; ask me if I 100% believe that there is someone out there who will completely adore me and want to marry me and spend his whole life with me then I have to be honest and answer No, I would like to believe it but I don‘t, not 100%.

I really need to get past this obstacle though as I know that Cosmic Ordering works, and can work fast, often within hours. I have tried it on many occasions on small things and big things and it just works (getting a new job; someone providing you with a free car on loan just when you need one most; or just someone telling you your hair looks nice) but it does have to be something you really need and believe will happen. So if I can really believe the perfect man for me is out there and I ask for him it will happen. Well not quite that simple either, when it comes to asking for the perfect man you can’t just say ‘I want my perfect man’ you have to list the qualities that you want in a partner so that you are really clear and focussed on what you want. Another snag is that you can’t ask for a specific man as this is selfish and goes against the universe apparently, so unfortunately however much I ask for him, Gerard Butler still can’t be mine.

There must be something to it as there seems to be more and more women these days talking about how they got their man by Cosmic Ordering him, telling the universe what they want in a man and asking the universe to bring him to them. Celebrities talk in interviews of how they did this and that it worked, indeed one of my closest friends did it, then joined an online dating agency and the very first guy she met was it, they have been together for over 2 years and live together (although she does complain that she forgot to ask for someone who wasn‘t afraid of spiders).

As spiritual and open-minded as I am (and I am) I have ask myself, can writing a list of all things you want in a partner and then sending it out into the universe really work, or is it a sign of true loneliness and desperation. Well I have been single for quite a while and whilst I don’t consider myself lonely or desperate in the slightest I do want someone to love me and someone for me to love so while there are things I am still reluctant to try in the man hunt arena I am willing to give this a go and allow myself to really believe it will happen. Here then is my list, with no one in particular in mind, I promise.

We Won!! Quick Let's Run!!

I joined the quiz team at my new work partly as a way to get to know some of my new colleagues and partly because I just love quizzes. I have a vast databank of useless knowledge, if you want to know anything about celebrities, 80s or 90s music, movies or literature then I’m your girl. My knowledge is legendary. On a recent expedition to Borneo we had a quiz night and one of the girls on my team went out to buy the prizes, she bought a prize that she wanted because she knew our team would win because I was on it. That’s confidence. Well obviously we did win and she got her prize and I spent the rest of the expedition being called ‘the girl who knows everything’.

But I digress.

I kept my knowledge a secret from my new colleagues, I didn’t want to brag, and they had no confidence that we would do well at the quiz it was just a bit of fun,. If I told and we did badly I would look a fool. And then it started, the theme of the quiz, 2008, rounds included; Picture round of celebs in the news in 2008

Famous couples that got together, married or broke up in 2008 Movies from 2008 Music from 2008 Celebrity deaths from 2008 TV from 2008

Wow, this quiz was made for me, I shone. Every round only made my colleagues more and more impressed with me. Who knows the name of Ryan Reynolds new wife? Who knows what British game show host died last year? Who knows the name of the movie starring Katherine Heigl about bridesmaid dresses? Who knows the name of Jade Goody’s boyfriend? I DO, I DO, I DO.

We were the only team from outside the organising unit and throughout the night the organisers kept teasing about how we couldn’t be allowed to win. After every round the scores were totted up and we were only behind by a few points the whole way through 10 rounds. After the final 11th round (about 3 hours later) the scores were announced and we were declared the winners. We had done the sums and thought surely that’s not right, surely we came second. People groaned that the outsiders won but nobody protested. Then it happened, we were handed the prize money (50 euros between 5 of us) and a trophy, great we thought, we’ll take that.

As soon as the divided up money was in our pockets and we accepted the trophy we started hearing the dreaded words - RECOUNT. The team that we thought had actually won were asking for a recount. The 5 of us looked at each other and had a telepathic moment when we all conveyed to each other the words ‘LET’S GO’. We scarpered with the money and trophy while we were still the official winning team and while the actual winning team (who had been a bit too cocky all night in my opinion) were harassing the organisers to recount the scores.

We knew we hadn’t won. They knew we hadn’t won (we actually came second by 1 ½ points). We refused to give the trophy and money back because it was just so much funnier that way.

Next month is the rematch and I have a feeling claws will be sharpened.

As they say in the cheerleader movies ‘Bring it on’, ‘Oh, it’s brung’.
