During our phone interview, the bookstore manager asked me if I had a place to stay yet, for she was used to hiring foreign workers and knew it was really not easy to find an apartment at a reasonable price in Paris. I sait it was fine. Indeed, my loved one’s mother was the owner of a small apartment in the heart of Paris which she rented to a student who, at the last minute, decided on his own not to renew his lease and go back to his parent’s place. His lease was to end precisely on[I] the day of my arrival[/I]! Again, the timing was surprisingly perfect, and it seemed to me that it was all thanks to `that mysterious force` again! And so, I believed that everything would be fine indeed…
[B]A declined opportunity[/B]
…I was to change my mind, however, on our first visit at the apartment…We climbed stairs and stairs and stairs, and when we finally arrived completely upstairs and opened the door, a very strong musty odor caught my nose. Moreover, I knew the room was going to be small, but I didn’t expect it to be [I]that[/I] small! It was about four times smaller than my modest apartment in Canada, and even smaller than my bedroom. I couldn’t picture two persons living together in such a `confined` space. ``Surely, we would end up seriously getting on each other’s nerves if we were to both live there`` I then thought… And all I had in mind at the time was to quickly find something else!
And we tried and tried to find something else, visited several places which were often completely upstairs also, expensive and only slightly larger than the room I [I]so [/I]did not want to live in, but I was [I]really[/I] stuck with the idea to find something else… I prefered to live with his mother as long as we wouldn’t find that ideal place I believed we needed rather than living in that `tiny unhealthy place completely upstairs`, as I was picturing it at the time (!)
[B]A change of heart[/B]
…But so many people want to live in Paris. There were always other persons visiting the same rooms as us, and applying for them like us, often [I]several [/I]others. It felt like a lottery… And well, we were [I]never[/I] winning! :lol: And so, as stubborn as I may be, after[I] three[/I] whole months of tiring unfruitful searches, my loved one and I finally agreed to take a second look at that first room we visited, which his mother didn’t try to rent all this time, as if she was kindly keeping it for us. I guess she knew we would eventually grow tired of searching and although she is a nice person, she knew we would eventually want to live apart from her, just the two of us. And meanwhile, although we had not asked anything of her, the room had been thoroughly washed and scrubbed and freshly painted…for us. (There [I]are[/I] hearts of gold out there.) So we went back there, and this time, I tried to see the potential of the place. We easily found new unexpensive furniture to maximise the space. There was still an odor but it was already much better, and plants we bought afterwards did a fine job to absorb it all… And make me actually like the place in the end ;)
[B]The larger picture[/B]
I had asked to be helped to find the perfect place fo us, and all this time we spent searching and searching I wondered why it was that we couldn’t find. The fact is, despite of all the rooms we applied for, not even once were we given another opportunity. Nobody [I]ever[/I] called us back. So I thought that perhaps `that mysterious force`had not answered this time… But back then, I couldn’t see that this place [I]was[/I] the best opportunity for us. I was working at almost the minimum wage and to be honest, although I didn’t want to see it, we simply couldn’t afford any of these rooms we had applied for. On the other hand, the room which belonged to the family was offered to us at a fairly cheap price (his mother even offered it for free, but I would have felt bad not paying anything) and so, we had the means to travel a little in France during vacations. Moreover, by the end of the year, I had a fair amount of savings which, once converted into canadian money, and added to other amounts I had received from the government during the course of the year, was more money than I ever had… This all sounds very materialistic, but interestingly, it is actually thanks to these savings I was able to live on for months that I had time to devote to a personal project I cared about, as well as more than enough time to start focusing…on the spiritual. Overall, these months were going to be, for me, a period of great happiness and growth.
[B]Reality [I]co[/I]-creation[/B]
As I see it, there is another reason why [I]not everything[/I] we intend to manifest, consciously or not, [I]will be[/I] manifested, and that is because we live in a reality that we share with others, as Korpo said on the thread : ``[I]Consensus reality is carried by the exchanges made by the consciousnesses participating in it.`` [/I]Others have their own needs and power to create reality. Therefore, what we intend to manifest may enter in conflict with the reality others also intend to create. And so, agreements may be necessary between parties involved.
It seems like such agreements were concluded in both situations I told in this story. At the time I was wishing I could work at the bookstore, someone had already been hired, and it is precisely [I]because[/I] she later declined the job that I was so easily hired in her place, as if somehow her counsciousness and mine (our higher selves/divine selves, perhaps along with [I]or [/I]through other parties or intermediaries such as guides), had agreed that I would benefit more than she would from working there. A similar type of agreement was quite possibly concluded with the student who decided to leave the studio [I]precisely[/I] when I was to arrive in France so that my loved one and I may live there together. I am not aware of what motivated the girl who was first hired to decline the job, but I know that the student was quite ok with leaving the room. He didn’t like it much and was already spending most of his time at his parent’s place. So this was an agreement that both of us benefited from.
It seems like reality creation is [I]conditional[/I] to some forms of agreements with other consciousnesses (everything is consciousness), agreements which may be another key needed, perhaps the master key, to unlock opportunities along the lines of what we intend to manifest. We may like to think that we operate completely alone, through our own powers alone, but I doubt this is really the case, for the simple reason that we are [I]not[/I] alone, and that everything we do, feel or think [I]is[/I] a form of interaction with other consciousnesses and [I]has[/I] a creative weight on us, on them, as well as on the reality we all share behind the curtain of our different beliefs and perceptions.
Behind the scenes indeed, we are[I] already[/I] and [I]constantly[/I] [I]co[/I]-creating reality.
…But not [I]only[/I] behind the scenes: after all, this text is a very [I]conscious[/I] [I]co[/I]-creation too ;)
