✳️ Surfing the net one morning at thirty-four years old.
✳️ A forum post by a stranger dropped the final coordinate.
✳️ A mad, high-speed dash to the nearest bookstore.
✳️ The extraordinary feeling of coming home to the absolute truth.
The year I turned thirty-four, I finally found the answer to the question that I’d been seeking since the tender age of six.
It unfolded while surfing the net one morning. Somehow, I ended up on a forum where a stranger mentioned a book that had completely changed his life.
“Ask And It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires” by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
The second my eyes read those words, something deep within me knew that I had to get my hands on that book as soon as humanly possible. I wasted no time at all calling the closest bookstore to me to ask if it was available.
It was. But they only had one single copy left in stock.
I asked if they’d be willing to hold it for me, promising I’d be there in twenty minutes flat to collect it. Thankfully, they agreed.
I tore into town like a mad woman, doing my very best not to speed.
Finally, as I arrived at the bookstore counter and the smiling shop assistant handed over my package, the most extraordinary feeling came over me. It was a sensation I’d never experienced before in my life.
I would describe it as a pure resonance. A deep, resounding truth echoing through my entire body. A physical feeling of coming home to a place where I truly belong.
I held the book in my hands. It was the exact knowledge I’d been seeking my entire life.
