[M309]Master Of The Universe
by James Brown, Jam

In the days before laptops, video games for me pretty much reached the apex in the Space Invaders/Asteroids era, and I never played them at home. I played them in bars, where it was a good way a) to kill time and b) avoid being stinking drunk by only 9:30pm. Idle hands are the devil's workshop, especially if one of them is constantly wrapped around a twelve-ounce Budweiser.

Of course, once one outgrows the bar scene which I plan to do any day now many of the things associated with it begin to lose their luster as well. I can't shoot pool nearly as well as I used to, not that I was any sort of Mosconi Fats to begin with, but that is not the point.

But I am totally lost in today's laptop gaming world. Nor do I own an X-Box, Playstation, or Wii (which looks to me like a misspelled abbreviation of World War II). I know nothing of controllers, game pads, or joysticks.

When I first got started on laptops, Tetris was all the rage. I tried it a few times, but soon lost interest. Then along came Solitaire. Vegas Solitaire. Vegas 3-Card Solitaire!

I was hooked. My co-workers and I set up marathon games on the single laptop in our workspace, going for days without rebooting. Woe unto him who wiped out our steadily increasing winnings. We didn't care if it wasn't real money. It was the thrill of the thing.

Then the world changed. I bought my first personal laptop. I landed a new job where, for the most part, I was working alone. The camaraderie that made marathon games of Vegas 3-Card Solitaire so enjoyable was no longer there. My gaming days, it seems, were finally at an end.

Then somebody showed me how to play Freecell.

I became a man obsessed. At first, the object was to win. Every loss was personal, every victory a reason for celebration. My winning percentage climbed into the 70-80 percent range, then into the 90s.

But it wasn't enough. Winning was no longer the only thing. I wanted to win PRETTY. It became an OC thing, and I ain't talking Orange County. The idea was to line up all my cards on my laptop screen in neat little rows, Kings on top, deuces on bottom, side by side, until clicking that last little card preferably the 48th releasing the aces and sending the whole deck skittering to the top as I basked in the beauty of it all :Freecell Master of The Universe.


Think about it this way. When the universe and the energy in the world are focused, it can do wonderful things ' create powerful storms or a peaceful calm. In your mind, when you're not being clear about what you want, how can you expect the world to provide what you want?

1) The laws that you don't want to break

There is a set of universal laws that govern the energy in the world ' called the laws of attraction.

These laws state that like attracts like. So, in that reasoning, when you think about the things that you want and the dreams you want to achieve, you will start to attract those things into your life ' seems simple, right?

But it's a little more complicated than that.

Many of us have dreams that we want to see come true. It might be physical objects or a new job. Maybe we want to have a certain person in our life, etc.

However, while we have these dreams, they are often only fleeting thoughts in our mind, able to be accessed only when we give them a second or two of our lives.

In short, we're not giving them the focus they need in order for the universe to respond. To create that necessary focus, you need to learn about visualization.

2) What is visualization?

Seeing is believing; we sometimes say. What you need to do is start to visualize in minute detail what you want from your life.

Right now, sit down and write down all of the things that you see in your mind when you think of abundance and wealth.

But think about what YOU associate with these words. This isn't about thinking about the things that everyone else wants; what do you want?

Here are some questions to get you started:

a) What does your dream look like?

b) Where are you living your dream?

c) How much money do you have?

d) What kinds of things do you have?

e) Who are you with?

f) What job do you have?

g) What are you wearing?

And this list could go on. But what you need to do is be as specific as possible about what abundance looks like to you.

Try to come up with the exact numbers, details, sights, smells, textures, etc.

What you're doing is imprinting your idea of abundance into your mind so that the laws of attraction aren't confused about what to provide for you.

3) But you have to practice seeing

Each morning or night, whichever works better, try to visualize your dream in this exact detail.

This will continuously remind your mind of what you want and will start to create subtle shifts in your consciousness that will allow you to make the decisions that will advance you to that goal more quickly.

You can also take the time to tape record or digitally record yourself talking about your dreams and then listen to it again and again.

4) What your brain is doing

When you visualize something in your mind, you can experience it; however, your body doesn't know that this visualization isn't real.

Think about it: when you close your eyes and imagine that you're on a beach, how does your body know that it's not there?

Scientific studies have shown that the same nerves and electrical currents will race through your mind whether you are at the beach or just imagining it in your mind.

This creates the question that if we were to imagine things more often, would we begin to create them in our environment?

Your brain actually reconfigures when you focus on a certain object over and over again.

It creates neural pathways that will make it easier for your brain to get back to that idea.

By visualizing your dream again and again, you will create more focus on that dream, more focus that will happen instantaneously and outside of the time you spend visualizing.

Of course, this isn't to say that if you think really hard about dating a supermodel that it will happen ' you need to do some work too.

But the idea that you are changing your mind and the way it works shows that you do have power over the course of your life and the dreams that come true.
