This one may be a stretch mixed with some Ambien Musings but let’s call it “E for effort”, deal?

The part of this sprinkle that stood out most to me was:

Things manifest at the right time. 

What does that even mean? To me, manifest sounds like what Aladdian had to do to wake up Genie

The word “manifest” when used as an adjective means clear or obvious to the eye or mind. When used as a verb, manifest means display or show (a quality or feeling) by one’s acts or appearance; demonstrate. We can all agree that it’s being used as a verb in this sentence, but I think it’s safe to say that the adjective meaning is at play as well. 

Ok, here’s where ambien musings and ADHD combine forces, so keep up!

• Verb = action (english teachers, right?) 
• so if we’re actively manifesting things (whatever “things” are in your life) 
• with the intention that the “things” become present and accessible at the right time 
• are we winners of the karmic lottery with a smidge of insider info? OR
• are we taking credit for purely coincidental situations?

So let’s put this equation into play in terms of my personal struggles with ALS:

• Things – in this case “things” refer to muscle spasticity, fatigue, and cramping 
• Manifest – my manifested focus has been to regain balance, conserve energy in muscles, and become stronger 
• at the – specific location of where the action (manifest) is effecting the problem (things)
• right time – the intentional intersection of the space in time and the specific location of where the action is effecting the problem 

Now let’s make that Sunny specific:

My muscle spasticity, fatigue, and cramping will disappear as I regain balance, conserve energy in muscles, and become stronger because of the new prescription Gabapentin that I received at clinic on Friday. 

The best thing I read when researching the new medication in relation to ALS was:

Gabapentin is a modulator of the glutamatergic system and… also been demonstrated to slow the decline of arm strength in human sporadic cases… Analysis between the pretreatment and treatment period showed a statistically significant decrease of the decline of muscle strength… Survival analysis showed a significantly longer survival in treated patients… Our study suggests that gabapentin may be an effective drug for ALS…

According to Christy Jacobs blog, this is what I, Sunny Brous Erasmus, have to do to manifest a life without muscle issues:

1. I AM regaining strength, balance and control of muscles 
2. Say it out loud 
3. I feel strong, balanced and in control of my muscles 
4. I am actively asking for assistance in regaining strength, balance and muscle control 
5. This or something better for the higher good, perhaps the ability to become a mother one day 
6. I am grateful for all the love, support, prayers and services extended to our family 
7. I AM LIVING LIFE FROM MY HEART. I am making sure all of my interactions come from a place of love. What you put out into the Universe comes back to you. 
8. I am keeping my vibrational energies and spirits high AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Love vibrates the highest and will attract all the good stuff to you. You feel GOOD — you attract GOOD. Again, it’s that simple.

All rambling aside, I ask you again: 

• are we winners of the karmic lottery with a smidge of insider info? OR
• are we taking credit for purely coincidental situations?

We don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
