I Jinxed Myself

Ok, so remember a couple hours ago when I said I was 85% sure that I was getting my call on Wednesday?  Well I just went and Jinxed myself for saying that, because literally minutes after I posted it, I was made aware my stake president forgot to resend my papers (there were a couple issues with them the first time... long story), so I won't know where I am going until... later.  I don't want to say next week now because then I'll have to wait half a month to get my call.

To those of you who don't believe in Jinxes or good luck/bad luck I say Phooey!  I am a firm believer in jinxes and such, not really the "step on a crack and your mom will break your back" kind, but ... how do I say this?  Read the first couple chapters of The Answer by John Assaraf.  As we get into quantum physics, mechanics, etc, we are starting to realize that Newton's laws of motion and physics and all that don't apply on a molecular level for whatever reason.  As we go deeper into what constitutes an atom, we start to see that everything is energy, and that ideas and thoughts are energy too.

Mr. Assaraf also thinks he is seeing with his studies that just our thoughts on things and how we perceive things can actually change them.  I'm not saying that we can bend spoons with our minds... yet, but our thoughts and attitudes do affect our surroundings.  For example, because my papers were delayed so long (it wasn't because of spiritual unworthiness by the way... just don't want to start any rumors) I got to wondering if I ever would get my call.  I admit that even as I was writing that last post about getting my papers this week, I was thinking that it would be just my luck if something happened and I would have to wait longer.  And something did happen!  Just read the book, it will blow your mind.
