Manifesting Michael’s Dream and The Power of Intention

I would like to share with you an exhilarating story of working with the Law of Attraction and taking inspired action.

An artist called Michael Annotti contacted Cyres Cafe, saying he wanted to write a song for us.

A lot of musicians contact us, but something about Michael stood out. It was his vibration. It was his big Heart. And his sense of Gratitude shone from the beginning.

We appreciated that Michael had expressed what he wanted and had left ‘the how’ to the Universe. In all communications, he talked only of what he wanted. He took inspired action by communicating with us and talking of what he wanted. He held the belief that he was part of The Cafe. He contributed to our Blog. It inspired us to launch a new collective intention, to manifest Michael’s wish.

I wrote to Michael:

Dear Michael,

Cris said today, he enjoyed a good call with you. That you are honest, true and modest, … and you do not have the extra resources to produce or record a song YET.

Well that’s not going to stop what you want!

I like your music, I like you, and I like inspired action, which is what you took, so I will continue to do all I can to ensure that you can be heard through your expression of choice; music.
The world deserves to enjoy your sound.

Right now we sponsor people in more of a vibrational way, see for example Myron Brown on MySpace profile, and this delivers dreams, so count yourself sponsored by Cyres Cafe.

I have asked Cris:

Shall I put the call out in our Newsletter this week? Someone knows someone who has the resources in California to grant Michael’s wish.

I am drawn to the Subject of your email. Imagine saying to Michael, “A Friend Of Mine Wants To Talk To You.”

I love making wishes come true!

Cris replied: “Yes, we can do that!”

Now the question is Michael, do you want us to do that? If yes, you will be in our Newsletter and our Blog this week. If yes, I would like a bio from you, a photograph, and a letter to our readers/The Universe, asking for what you want, stating your intention.

If you know anything about the Law of Attraction / Conscious Creation, that is always interesting to include, especially if you are working with it, in any way, in your own life, and/or if you have seen it in action in the lives of others.

The Universe loves speed

in appreciation and support

Reply from Michael:

Greetings Jane,

Blessed Day to you, I wanted to let you know that I sent my bio, pic and letter to your readers/The Universe and thank you again for all of the upliftment and support you have given me so generously.

I truly feel the love vibrations very strong you’re all sending me, and I am honored to be sponsored by The Cyres Cafe. My love flows to my Cyres Cafe Family continually …

Blessed Love & Abundance be yours always,

Michael

Here at The Cafe we were really moved, and then, WOW, we read Michael’s letter to The Universe.
Here is the letter:

Greetings in Peace, Love and Gratitude ~

It is my intent to raise the level of consciousness by creating more Love and Awareness in the world through the power of music, and writing a song for The Cyres Cafe. It is an honor to have been chosen to contribute to The Cyres Cafe.

I am asking for funding for the studio time, production and expenses this production will demand to be accomplished properly. I am personally working with The Law of Attraction, and have been a witness to the reality of the Conscious Creation and manifestation of my faith and inspired works by asking for what I need, and receiving with gratitude and devotion to spread love and inspire others that they can live their dreams!!

In Jan. 2007, I began writing down what I am asking The Universe, I also have a check written out to Michael Annotti Publishing for $1,000,000.00, from The Universal Bank Unlimited, from the drawer, The Universe Account Unlimited Abundance, that I printed out from www.thesecret.tv where I pass it and read it everyday, I envision everyone who I can help with the money, and what I will do first, when I receive it with gratitude.

I do all I can to prepare now, so when I receive my request to The Universe, everything will be in place to start helping those in need NOW … I know that I will receive what I asked for, because I feel it, and have faith in The Law of Attraction. I have been making music for people in venues around The Bay Area for close to 10 years, for the Love of raising the consciousness, and knowing that’s what I am here for. I will be a living testimony to the power of The Law of Attraction, and I know others will feel Hope, and great Joy, in knowing that if it worked for me, someone who is currently living from week to week not knowing where my next pay is coming, that it will work for them as well. It will happen for me !!
You can also do it !! Live a Blessed Life and reach your Highest Potential !!

I would also like to share the experience of another Artist and dear friend of mine, Joe Derose, who recently was given The Secret, and after watching it, he mentioned it at rehearsal recently. I told him I had also recently seen The Secret, and had enjoyed it as well as practiced The Law of Attraction, by writing down my requests to The Universe, and putting them in places where I can see, also about the check I had written that I described earlier. He shared with me that he recently has been writing and emailing Congratulation letters to himself, stating that he had been chosen to be a sponsored Artist. Well sure enough Pearl Drums recently informed him that he had been added to their roster of Artists !!!

I am very grateful to Cris and Jane for blessing me with the opportunity to create a song for The Cyres Cafe, I also urge you to check out the Artist called CRISTOPOLIS who will also be composing a song for The Cyres Cafe.

May you be blessed with Love, Health, Laughter, Music and Abundance continually ~

In Gratitude and Respect continually,

Michael

At Cyres Cafe we believe in collective intention and the effect of group intention, or you might call it, the power of prayer.
Lynne McTaggart, ‘What The Bleep Do We Know!?’ and author of ‘The Intention Experiment’ (demonstrates, beyond any doubt, that you are co-creating your world at every moment), is one of the Cyres Lecture Series speakers. She is also part of The Evolutionary Series with Philippe ‘Shock’ Matthews, www.shockevolution.com

So for the benefit of Michael, yourself, and the highest good of all concerned, let’s ‘power up’ our thoughts and intentions for maximum effect.

This is a massive, international, on-going, interactive experience, that you can join, to help to serve up dreams. You may at some point want the group to flow energy to your dream.

This is a great opportunity to practice intention/prayer. To discover and develop the ‘muscle’ of intention.

We are all ‘transmitters and receivers’. Our thoughts and intentions affect others, and ourselves. Flow the best ones!

Let’s send focused intention for the manifestation of Michael’s wish, each day, when it feels good for you.

Science confirms these beliefs. Now let’s demonstrate them more and more in our day-to-day life.

Let’s be a positive influence in the world around us. Like The Butterfly Effect, maybe just one good thought is all it takes to change Michael’s world … and yours.

More about Michael Annotti is available on a special post here, including his bio and photo.

Oprah and ‘The Color Purple’

Oprah Winfrey says her favorite thing to talk about is the soul, the spirit of us, that which makes us WHO We Really Are.

Oprah believes there is no such thing as accidents and there is more to life than what appears to us in our own physical realm.

What changed the way she thought about her life forever is ‘The Color Purple’. It inspired her to begin thinking about the way she uses her thoughts. This began in 1985 and she believes it is why she is where she is. Why, for example, she has her own studio and why she has attracted to herself a body of people that work for her that share her mission.

Oprah’s connection to ‘The Color Purple’ began in the early 80s. Oprah was 28 years old. She was working in Baltimore as a local talk show host.

Oprah was hiding a secret.

One day she read a review of ‘The Color Purple’ in a newspaper. Immediately she went to a bookstore and bought the book. She read it that day and went back to the bookstore in the evening to buy every copy they had. Oprah gave them out in the newsroom where she worked, to everyone she knew and considered a friend.

Alice Walker’s book is the story of Celie. A black child in the rural South of the U.S. Celie is poor. Celie is sexually abused by a family member and forced to marry a man who beats her. The story is told through her letters to God.

Oprah related to the story. To Celie and Celie’s hope and inspiration. So much so that she talked about ‘The Color Purple’ as if she were in it.

A few years later, Oprah moved to Chicago, to host a local talk show, and was still trying to get everyone to read the book. For example, she went to every beauty salon in Chicago and passed out the book to women under the dryers. She would walk home from work with a backpack, passing out the book to strangers as she walked, saying, “Have you read ‘The Color Purple’?”

Oprah was completely obsessed by ‘The Color Purple’.

When Oprah read the first line of the book, “Dear God, I am fourteen years old”, it literally took her breath away. She could not breathe.

She read the first letter and closed the book, weeping. “My God, this is my story. Somebody knows how I felt.” Up to that point, she had not told anybody that she had been sexually abused.

That moment was a turning point, allowing her to face what began when she was nine years old. Oprah was abused by a cousin, then other family members and their friends.

Years later, passing out ‘The Color Purple’ book, walking across a bridge, Oprah again said to a stranger, “Have you read ‘The Color Purple’?” and the stranger replied, “Do you know they’re making a movie of it?”

Oprah was willing to do anything to be a part of it, working as a member of the crew, carrying the water, holding the script for whoever, anything. She made a decision, that she was going to find a way to get on the set of the movie. She began praying for it.

Oprah had never acted before and she didn’t know anyone in Hollywood. But she knew how to pray.

On a trip to Chicago, Quincy Jones, one of the producers of the movie, saw Oprah on TV. Quincy Jones didn’t know who Oprah was. He knew, she was the character Sophie in the book.

Even though Oprah had never acted before, Quincy Jones arranged for her to audition for Sophie, Celie’s strong-willed daughter-in-law. It was more than she had prayed for - a part in the movie.

Oprah gave a perfect audition, but afterwards heard nothing for months. Oprah phoned the casting office and they said, “You don’t phone us, we phone you”. She felt awful and blamed her weight. She hated herself and reacted by going to a fat farm, wanting to lose fifty pounds in two weeks.

Oprah thought that her obsession had gotten the best of her. She had never wanted anything more than to be in ‘The Color Purple’.

What was life changing, was that she made the decision to let go.

She went out on the running track by herself. It was cold and raining. Running round the track, she started asking, “God, dear God”, (just like Celie) “Please help me to let it go so that I can move on with my life.” She began singing, “I Surrender All”.

As Oprah was letting go, someone was holding on … on the phone! It was the movie’s director, Steven Spielberg.

Steven Spielberg said to Oprah, “What are you doing? I hear you’re at a fat farm.” Oprah replied, “No, it’s a health retreat!” He answered, “If you lose a pound, you will possibly lose this part. I’d like to see you in my office tomorrow.”

Oprah packed and left the health retreat. She went to the first Dairy Queen on the way home - just in case she had lost a pound!

Oprah explains how letting go changed her life, “In that moment of surrender, I realized that when you’ve done everything that you can do, when you’ve given it the best that you know how, you surrender it to that which is greater than yourself. You survive everything. And when you make peace with that, that is when you open up the space for what is to come to you, to come. And that lesson has changed me forever. ‘The Color Purple’ changed me because it was the first time that I knew what love was. It really was the first time I knew what love was.”

On the set of the movie, Oprah began to dream of her future life. She decided that love is when you are in the place where you love your work, and she wanted to feel that every day.

In ‘The Color Purple’, Celie discovers that she can love herself no matter what. She stops running and faces her fears. She becomes an independent business woman.

Oprah became someone who is not afraid to reveal her weaknesses, someone who dreams big, and someone who has become one of the most successful business women in America.

At the time she attracted her dream role, Oprah’s TV career was beginning to soar. With a hit TV show, her bosses pressured her not to take time off to make the film. She told them, she’d do anything, she’d sacrifice, she’d never take another vacation. And she made a decision, that she didn’t want someone else controlling her life ever again. She decided to become her own boss. “I learned from that experience, you never want to be in a position again where you can’t do what your heart desires for you to do.”

Oprah acknowledges, it is because of ‘The Color Purple’ that she made the decision, I will now own my own show, so never again will I ever be told what I can and cannot do. “It was the first time I learned what love is. It’s when I learned that I’m not going to let somebody prevent me from doing what I want to do.”

Oprah attracted an Academy Award nomination. 20 years later, she is now a producer of ‘The Color Purple’ on Broadway. She has her own production company and her own studio. Quincy Jones and Steven Spielberg are friends.

Oprah talks with Michael J. Losier about the ‘Law of Attraction’

Oprah Winfrey is tuning into and talking about the Law of Attraction more and more.

XM Radio Online Channel 156 is ‘Oprah & Friends’. This channel broadcasts 24/7 and one of its ongoing shows is ‘Oprah’s Soul Series’, a half-hour show that airs every Thursday, at 4am, 10am, 4pm, 10pm.

For over two months, ‘Oprah & Friends’ has been discussing the Law of Attraction with various guests.

On April 19th, her guest was Michael J. Losier, author of ‘Law of Attraction’, a book about how to use The Law of Attraction to deliberately create the life you want. Michael will return to the show on Thursday April 26th.

On last week’s show, Michael talked about deliberately offering a positive vibration, focusing on what you want, to attract into your life “more of what you do want and less of what you don’t.”

He acknowledges that his book, ‘Law of Attraction’, is based on the teachings of Abraham + Esther Hicks, another of Oprah’s recent guests.

Michael had been studying similar teachings since 1991, when he was in his 30s, and in 1996 he saw Abraham-Hicks and that inspired him to begin regular Sunday get-togethers at his home, to talk about the Law of Attraction. The attendance at the meetings grew and grew.

Michael says, Law of Attraction is about negative vibrations and positive vibrations and where we stand in relation to them.

He says he can feel the vibration that a person is sending out when, for example, he walks into a room. We are all emitting a vibration, although we might not be doing it on purpose.

Michael says that what we focus on, we attract, whether it is what we want or not.

When you say “Don’t think of…”, you give it attention, energy, and focus.

Michael gives us a practical system to use which changes our thoughts from what we don’t want, to that which we do want. It is
called the ‘Contrast Worksheet’.

Step 1
Make a list of what you don’t want/like.

For example:

Not enough money.
I never win anything.
I always make the same amount of money.
I hate getting bills.

Change it.

So what do I want?

Step 2
Build the ‘want’ list.

For example:

I’d like an abundance of money.
I’d like to make more money at work.
Bills are paid easily and quickly.
I always have access to money.

Then: visualise; collage; write it; pray it; dream it; day-dream it; pretend.
This changes the vibration. It shifts. It’s a reset button. Helps you to reset your vibration.

How do you know whether you’re attracting something good or bad for you? … by what’s showing up and how you’re feeling (your vibrational meter reading).

It’s all about the feeling.

Law of Attraction is obedient. It matches your vibration.

Michael gave Oprah another example. He noted that on her show, she says, “And don’t be emailing me about that either” and Oprah agreed that when she says that, she gets more emails than ever! She is a great attractor!

Most people are talking about what they don’t want. And the universe responds to that vibration. Type in to the internet ‘no football’. What shows up? Football, but what did you say, ‘no football.’

On the subject of money, Oprah said, she never ever worried about finances. She always gave money almost no thought. Michael said, it is her ‘I feel abundant’ feeling that is attracting. She observes the feeling of abundance and the Law of Attraction matches it.

Most people focus their attention on what they don’t have. It creates lack, and a negative vibration.

Abundance is a feeling. Acknowledge what you receive as being abundance, for example, when someone buys you a coffee or lunch.

In the early 90s, Oprah was inspired by Sarah Ban Breathnach (author of ‘Simple Abundance’) to write a journal of gratitude.
Every day Oprah consciously lists 5 things she is grateful for. All day she watches out for things to be grateful for, and logs them in her journal every evening.

If you want more good things in your life, you must be grateful for the things you already have. Take time each day to look around you and you will soon realise that there are many things for you to be grateful for.

This week on Oprah’s Soul Series, how the Law of Attraction can make you healthier.
