My Favorite Chemical Reaction Ensemble

Or How to Manifest What You Want

I once told my wife she was my Favorite Chemical Reaction Ensemble. Her face? Total confusion. But what came next changed how I see God, manifestation — and pens. She immediately asked ‘‘What do you mean? Is this some form of compliment?’’

Humm.. well no but it means you are exactly what I have always dreamed of though. In that sense, you could say that Yes, it’s a compliment because you are as loving, amazing, beautiful, witty, complementing and fire starting as I always dreamed to marry.

But how did I get to call her that? I was reminescing about manifestation and how it works and all. Trying to figure out if there’s a God or not… You know, questions you ask yourself a few times a year lol

Then I started seeing an answer. I was looking at a pen. I wondered how it got there on my table. I decided to reverse the engineering… I wanted to find where Love or God was into that simple pen.

First, I bought that pen for our family, that I love. There you go, one point for love. Then I thought about the process of buying it. I got it in a bookstore where some people come to work, place the stuff on the shelves, operate the cash register, place the orders for the needing customers etc… Customers who will come here to buy stuff that they love and want, like a book or a magazine. Maybe a pen to write a letter to someone they love or to someone that have wronged them. Humm, is there love? Yes, if you feel you’ve been wronged, it means you love yourself. If you write to fix the issue, you’re putting love + action in motion to get a win somehow. Love is here again, another point for love.

I then thought of how this pen was created. If we go way back in time, the pen was invented out of love. Someone wanted to provide the world with a solution better that feather and ink. It was messy and non practical compared to a ball pen. According to Wikipedia, The first patent for a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 October 1888 to John J. Loud, who was attempting to make a writing instrument that would be able to write "on rough surfaces—such as wood, coarse wrapping paper, and other articles" which fountain pens could not. Love, in the form of service to others. Love nonetheless. Love and action got Mr. Loud a Win for himself but also the whole world.

Ok Jeff…. but what is that chemical reaction you talk about? Here it is…

Everything in life is a chemical reaction. So, when you get an idea, it creates a chemical reaction in your brain. If you decide that you love the idea, you get a chemical reaction. When you decide to take action, there are hundreds of millions of chemical reactions happening at the same time. Your thoughts coming out as words, screams, whispers or songs. Your arms and legs moving towards your goal. Your stare and frowns making other people wonder or act, depending on how they know you. All of those millions of chemical reactions create the world you live in.

John J. Loud had an idea. A chemical Reaction. He decided to act on it and created a ripple of chemical reactions that still do today. Call it energy or chemical reaction, you can’t deny its power.

One day, I started creating the perfect woman I wanted in my life. That first chemical reaction kickstarted other reactions that brought Arlene into my life. I manifested her presence in my life. Love for myself made me create the one I wanted. Taking action when the occasion rose made me win.

Knowing this makes it easier to forgive as well. Sometimes the chemical reactions we create don’t resonate with others. Sometimes, they create reactions that don’t serve us. But I accept it. I know that there are so many reactions at the same time that I can’t control them all and so can’t anyone else. But if you try to fix it with love when you realise something’s wrong, that new reaction will engage other reactions that might just as well be what you need. Forgiving that no one has full control makes it easier.

Everything comes from a first chemical reaction in someone’s brain. Although I cannot explain how it happens, I dare to say and believe that the first real chemical reaction is God’s inspiration, sent to our brains. The rest, will become history.

Have you ever traced a moment back to its first spark? That idea, feeling, or whisper you couldn’t ignore? What do you want to manifest? Start with the idea, take action, embrace those chemical reactions and WIN at life!
