A WISH COME TRUE
self enlightenment exercise no.14
Imagine that whatever you wish, immediately comes true
What might your first wish be?
Maybe something practical, like having lots of money
Now, what might your second wish be?
Maybe something good happening for someone else
What might your third wish be?
Maybe something for yourself again, like being young and healthy
What might your fourth wish be?
Maybe something exciting like the realization of a fantasy
Now, imagine you have spent a hundred years making thousands of wishes that always come true. You have become bored, lonely and weighed down with responsibility.
You make one last and final wish.
To live the life you have now, with all its problems and uncertainties.
NOTES
If you enjoyed the fantasy aspects of this exercise, then I recommend you experience this audio meditation called Astral Travel
Be great if you share some of the wishes you might make, by posting them below.
It is early in the day in California, and my first thoughts this morning were in line with your question. What would I be doing if I had nothing else to do. What if someone brought me my meals,
tended my clothes, and allowed me the solitude to just be.
First, I would be in the country somewhere, there would be a modest garden house where I could be sitting if the weather were too cold or wet to be outside.A fireplace, always tea and water. I would have yellow lined legal pads and sharp pencils or pens that glide easily, some water colors, all my drawing and painting stuff, some books to read, Rumi, Mary Oliver, a novel. Then I would sit in my overgrown garden and write what I see. That seems to be my wish for today, oh and friends who visit in the evening and play music, sing and love.
Your post sound like a very achievable wish. Nice one. Good luck with having it, if you haven't already. Richard
Thanks for your inspiring feedback about the realisation that your wish has come true. Really pleased for you.
For the last wish you mention, the challenge lies only in the mind. In theory, this sort of wish is easy to have, but it is very difficult, as it involves one of the greatest battles, which is with ourselves.

Sorry to miss replying to your interesting post.
I understand that you are not being negative, but just realistic. I have read that as we age and approach the end of our lives, a sense of enlightenment happens naturally. When this occurs, there is less desire for material things, as you said. Is this a fair comment? Thanks for posting.
