Making every desire come true is not difficult once you realize that the same thing is always at work - you are transforming pure awareness from one state to another.

When it appears that there is no choice, some form of illusion is operating.

Don't simply dismiss a coincidence and let it drift away. Life is totally interconnected. These unusual 'things' are simply connections that surprise you because you aren't used to seeing life except in fragments. Now it is beginning to piece itself together.
