Dear Wisdom:

There is a lot in your last post:

You wrote: “the whole ‘universe will give you what you want/think positive’ thing- I read that message myself and it is out there, this message. I too have a problem with it. I can think all the positive thoughts that there are, and it is all in my head. The universe.. what is it, The Universe, anyway? Other people do not know what I think. It is what I do that matters. If I want things to happen, I make things happen. It doesn’t have to be earth shattering actions, on my part. If you, Wisdom, want to get a job, you take the action of applying for a job. You can THINK all the positive thoughts about getting a job but none of it matters. Only action matters in making things happen.

If my thinking all these years made things happen, Wisdom, I would be an international star, a super star, a well known all-over-the-world dancer and singer and actress. Why? Because I THOUGHT those things… a lot, used to daydream about it…a lot. It didn’t happen because thinking, imagining, wishing, praying… all those things are in my own head and nothing happens because I think it, or imagine or pray. It is all in the doing.

If people say, like you wrote: “oh i got this because i wanted it”- that cannot possibly be true. If they achieved something it is because they did something. Wanting something is thinking and wishing and feeling. No action? No results.

Regarding your grandfather. You felt he was your soul mate. You felt he loved you and you loved him. Is that what a soul mate means to you? And you feel love for this guy, hoping he will feel love for you in the future and that would mean he is or may be your soulmate?

Having a soulmate then means someone you love and who loves you back?
