Cosmic Ordering

"Barbel Mohr describes Cosmic Ordering as a simple process whereby you have to write down your wish on a piece of paper and at a later point read it to the universe."

Seems strange the universe doesn't know about it when you write it.

Yeah, I'm a sceptic too, but I'll try anything to get a 552/500. My order has been despatched to the universe in anticipation.

Noel f*****g Edmonds did and got Deal or No Deal.

I've been waiting for my curry for 5 hours now.

There was/is some American franchise of Buddism in which you could (and they did) chant for a Mercedes.

Very Zen - knot.

I ended up with a Toyota Scion xA instead.

Hmm. Well. The universe can be seen as a field of potentiality. Its all down to cause and effect. There can be no effect (a wish come true)without a valid cause (mere wishing ain't enough). If one has created the causes and wishes or prays hard enough it may cause an effect to come about but cosmic ordering is wrong, in my view, in that it promises effects by mere wishing (the old abundant universe thing). There is nothing spiritual about wishing for material comforts even if the wishing is cloaked in psuedo-spiritual or even religious garb - it's just plain old selfish greed and there are many out there who know how to pander to it. There is a huge industry fleecing the 'I want something for nothing but its ok because I burn incense and have a Buddha on my mantel piece brigade'(mostly in America)Cosmic Ordering? File under: Manipulative bollocks. If it were true we would have found out about it a lot earlier.

Tried to order a cosmos, but they wouldn't deliver.

Hi all,

Last week an ongoing department at an Ivy League university in the U.S., which had been researching effects for over 20, finally closed. They had been studying whether it was possible for human thought to affect reality, and the statistically relevant answer was 'yes'. A doctor from the department was interviewed on NPR (National Public Radio) here in the U.S. and had some fascinating insights.

Best Regards,

I am not for one minute saying this shite is true.

But In the past I have wished for things, really wanted them, thought about them all the time.

Then in the end I got them things, usually items of hifi or what ever. And I realise that I got them because I worked harder, or worked something out, or in general just really tried harder, and it came through.

Perhaps this is sorta the same. In that it gives you the opportunity to focus your mind on something you want. But I think you have to do all the leg work.

The obvious downside to this is that luck no longer exists.

I know numerous people who've got a wishbone instead of a backbone!

OK, as I see it, most believers in religion also subscribe to most science being acceptable too.

That being the case, together with science stating that while the Universe is infinite, the matter contained within it is most definately finite (although the sheer logistics in measuring that amount of matter makes an exact figure a little tricky) then this request for a physical manifestation be it a Mercedes, a new job or a wad of cash means that this ultimately deprives someone/where else of a similar Mercedes, new job or a heap of little green bits of paper. And Cosmic Ordering is simply a bunch of travellers moving matter around the Universe to facilitate the post-it(TM) scribbled wants of believers.

Ergo followers of Cosmic Ordering would seem to be nothing but a bunch of thieving, uncharitable, Pikey parasites intent on collecting and keeping all the goodies to themselves.

Or is that harsh?

Ooh 600. Happy birthday.

I like your logic Jamie.
Anyway, the universe isn't infinite, not that it makes any difference.
I wonder what happens to all those Mercedes last-years-models left floating around the universe that no-one wants?
If the universe isn't infinite, there must be a huge surplus warehouse up there somewhere. Probably a Ford Anglia in there too.
