BUT-free living

Welcome to the Cosmos Cafe!

If you’re like me, your first job was in fast-food. I think working in fast-food was a prerequisite upon entering the earth plane in the 20th century. The fact is, I liked asking patrons, “Do you want fries with that shake?”

May I Take Your Order 
Author Lisa Nichols says, “Every thought we send out is equivalent to placing an order with the Universe. When we go to a restaurant and tell the server what we want, we fully expect to receive the exact order we placed.” She’s right!

If we placed a dinner order of broiled salmon, steamed spinach, and broccoli to our server, the same server doesn’t return to our table with a hot dish of fichus leaves, rubber boots, and license plates and say, “Bon Appetite!”

Order Up!
In restaurants we don’t list foods we don’t eat to the wait staff or announce how we wouldn’t want it prepared if we had ordered it. We don’t race into the kitchen spying on the chef as they arrange our meal. We order the meal we want, the way we want it, while fully expecting it to arrive at our table matching our desired taste.

Is it probable we put more vigor into ordering meals or purchasing merchandise than we put into ordering our life partner? If we’re wise enough to order what we Do Want in restaurants, why would we order backwards in love?

Would You Like Sauce with that Rubber Boot?
In a recent “How to Create Your Soul Mate” class, I tested this analogy by asking a hundred participants, “If you could place an order for the soul mate of your dreams to the universe, what would you want?” The answers were, “I don’t want a jerk,” “I don’t want someone who makes less than six figures a year,” and “I don’t want to get hurt…again.”

It was a habitual response from their mind-menu to talk about what they don’t want instead of what they do want.

Check Please!
The next time someone asks you, “What is it that you Do Want with a soul mate,” listen closely and feel out your response. If you’re not careful, you may be ordering rubber-boots from the Universe’s unconditional menu of love.

Think of the Universe as an unlimited café catering to love and your Soul as the server. In all restaurants you get to choose what you Do Want from the menu.

Ya’ll Come Back Now   
We either choose from what we Do Want or what we Don’t Want.
The bottom line is, we have to tell our serving soul what we want and completely imagine the Universe delivering it. Then remember to stay out of the kitchen, stop harassing the servers, and relax, enjoy, and allow the Cosmos Café to deliver our instruction of love!
