How I Won and didn't get the Prize

In the late 1980's one of my daughters moved to Florida. On my first visit there I was introduced to the Florida lotto.  I promptly filled out a form and randomly selected my six numbers. 9-14-23-42-44-48.  On arriving home I asked my daughter to buy  weekly tickets. So for several years I would send her five dollars and she would buy one ticket a week with the numbers 9-14-23-42-44-48 for the next five weeks. At the end of five weeks we would repeat the process.  Sometimes she would send me tickets and sometimes not.  I would put the tickets on a shelf in my sewing room. Sometimes opening the envelope, sometimes not. And all the time I saw these numbers coming up on the lotto.  When Texas got the lottery in Nov 1991 I stopped buying Florida tickets.


A few years ago my daughter called and asked when we quit buying the 9-14-23-42-44-48 numbers. I told her I didn't know the date but it was when Texas got the lottery.  Seems she had looked up our numbers and in October 1991, 9-14-23-42-44-48 were the winning numbers.  OK, are you thinking I won.  No I did not win.  I may have purchased the ticket or maybe not. Regardless, I did not get the money.  I have wondered many times how it happened. I was convinced the numbers would win and I thought I was convinced I would have the winning ticket. Maybe I had the ticket and lost it. I don't know.  Now I understand why I did not really have the ticket, and even if I did the money wasn't going to land in my pocket because I would not allow it.  My feelings (beliefs) about money at the time would not allow it in my reality. 


I have just finished reading Ask and It Is Given  by Esther Hicks.  Abraham tells about someone wanting a new shiny car because the one she has is old and in need of repairs.  The person is manifesting the new shiny car, wants it and believes she will get it. But....she is seeing an old dust, dented car with  thread bare tires.  Just as my feelings about money prevented me from the lottery winnings, her feelings about her car will prevent her from getting her new shiny car. 


This book has given me answers to questions that I've had for a long time. I understand that I have to start from where I am and give attention to my feelings and thoughts if I want to change my beliefs which changes what will manifest in all areas of my life.
