Getting wthat you want
Douwe Engbertus van Zwol
I used to often buy a small ice cream going from the station to my home by bicycle. But on that particular day I didn't have any money in my pocket.
Then I remembered that if you really want something you will get it if you concentrate on what you want and do that with all your mental energy.
So, I thought, this is a good time to test this hypothesis, and started to concentrate on finding 3 quarters for buying a small ice cream. I was bicycling during this process. But then I remembered that after concentrating you must let go your wish and relax. So I started to do that and then.... I saw before me on the ground three quarters lying in a row (in the direction I was bicycling). So I stopped immediately (after me a U big bus stopped too with squeaking brakes!) and I took the three quarters. Went to the ice cream bar and got my ice.
This looks like a joke, but I told this story at home to my wife directly, so she knows also about this.

After this experience much more has happened , but this was so very clear an experiment. And I believe in simple experiments.
