Yesterday I drove to Ocala and Cassadaga, and I took my buddy Tod McNeal along with me. We’re both big nature lovers so we entertained ourselves by pointing out flora and fauna along the way. We also got to see how far my Toyota Prius would go after the last fuel indicator bar began flashing. I figured that was my warning signal. I usually get gas at about 2 bars, but I turned west instead of east on Highway 40 and figured I’d catch the Chevron at Lake George Ranger at 170th, several miles down the road. Halfway there, the final bar began flashing. I’d gone 400 miles and that was as far as I’d gone without filling up since I’d had the car. The Prius holds 11.9 gallons of gas. I didn’t know how much I had left. We figured we’d find out soon enough.
About 15 minutes later, we pull into a Mobil station and my car takes 9.7 gallons of gas. So I figured, “Neat, I’d have 2 gallons still.” Then I came home and Googled to find out that I’d better not rely on having those two extra gallons. In a forum, someone wrote they’d run out of gas when their indicator light was at two bars. “With the Prius,” they wrote, “you can’t do the “oh the light’s on, I have x gallons of fuel left” like you can with other cars. Even if you physically had that much fuel left, the car’s computer is stupid and thinks otherwise, so it’ll shut down when it thinks it’s out.”
That’s good to know. I usually get gas by the time I get to 2 bars, usually only 6 or 7 gallons at a time, and it will take me 400 miles. It’s no big deal to keep a closer eye on that and fill it at 3 bars from now on. It’s a good idea to know about some things ahead of time, just to be prepared.
In fact, after we got gas, Tod and I had a great conversation about being prepared and how that plays into the law of attraction; specifically as it relates to preparing ahead of time for a failing economy while holding yourself vibrationally in a place that doesn’t allow you to attract that experience to yourself. I love deep discussion with intelligent people on topics that matter. We had some opposing ideas and were fine with that. No strong-arm tactics to convince each other who was right or wrong.
We decided to do an attraction exercise to manifest seeing some wild boars. We talked about animals we’d seen out in the wild, just to get in the vibe and begin the attraction process. We picked the boars because we’d never seen them in that area. A rabbit or a fox or a gator or turtle or hawks or egret or raccoons or armadillos or opossums would have been no big stretch. They are out there in armies. But not the wild boars, at least not along Highway 40 at mid day that I’d ever seen.
1972 with Florida panther
We were talking when I saw a Florida panther run across the road and disappear into the bush. I’d not seen one of those on Highway 40 either, so I took that as a sign we were vibing closer to attracting some boar. We were resonating more closely in harmony with that place that would allow us to see some wild boars. We talked about times we’d seen boar out in the wild. I recounted I like how the little ones walk around all stiff legged, taking millions of tiny steps to keep up with their mom.
As I drove, I kept glancing at ground level at the forest all around us, hoping for a glimpse. Nothing yet. But we were chatting about other things as well, so it was a very split focus. Then, coming out of Cassadaga, no one thinking about the boars, we see them! 3 little wild boars, babies! In less than 2 hours, even with a very split focus, we were able to attract them. As soon as we stopped looking everywhere for them, there they were.
Three wild pigs (no, not the ones we saw)
Of course, we had no resistance to seeing the boars, so it was fairly easy to attract them. We weren’t trying to attract gold coins or diamonds, so we weren’t thinking, “oh everyone is out here looking for the boars so the chances I’ll see one are slim.” We didn’t think, “I’ll never see a wild boar again!” We didn’t complain about how less-than our lives are without having more access to wild boars.
Abraham-Hicks tells us that the less resistance we have to what we want to attract, the more quickly it will come to us. The hard part is teaching ourselves to ALLOW, to release resistance and get out of the habit of thought about things, unless those thoughts are bringing us happy feelings and happy results.
So as soon as I stopped looking behind every bush for a boar, as soon as I stopped lamenting the lack of boars and got onto another fun topic, BOARS GALORE!
