What Is The Difference Between $20 And 31 Diamonds? Part 2

There has been a huge response to Part 1 of this story - some for my stance on the taxi cab driver, and others against it. This prompted me to ask the question: "What's the difference between $20 and 31 diamonds?"

So first let's talk about the Laws of the Universe.For example, there is the law of gravity: this law does not make judgment of whether a person is good, bad, rich or poor. It works always and without fail. The rain falls on everyone regardless of who you are. Same with the Law of Attraction. It doesn't judge a person or their request and brings the wishes of those it likes or chooses over others. It works for everyone - always and without fail.

There are 3 parts to Law of Attraction - ASK, ANSWER, RECEIVE. It is a fact that most people don't have a problem with the ask and answer, but when it comes to the receiving part they attach judgment - judgment based on human standards, not Universal standards.

A lot of people coming into Law of Attraction hear that you are supposed to see a penny on the ground and pick it up and say 'THANK YOU UNIVERSE - WHOOOO - YES!! SEND ME MORE MONEY!!!!' I'm curious why when it's 31 diamonds it now changes to 'Wow Universe, I'm not supposed to have this.' Let's look at the reality of this: this honest cabbie does not likely trot off to the police station every time he finds coins in his cab, every time he finds a $20 bill in his cab…

Shouldn't the guy be compiling a jar and filling it up and going to the Police Station then saying 'Hey, I found this in my car and I'm honest so I think the owners should have it back'? Nope! Why not? Because he feels it's small and no one including the owner will care too much about it.

But 31 diamonds - now that's just plain HUGE. Someone is gonna hurt because of this - so the issue is SIZE. Sure, you could say that the owner 'lost' the diamonds and didn't mean to give them to him, but what about the person who lost the $20? They didn't mean to give it to him either. Isn't it all money? Why is one right but one wrong? Where is all this judgment coming from? Had this lady dropped 20 bucks, we would have never heard of this HONEST cabbie. A lot of people have no judgment over the penny on the street, or the unexpected 20 bucks, but loads of judgment over a suitcase of money…and are sitting there waiting for their $1.5 mill to be delivered and wondering why it's taking so long…

This taxi driver followed the 3 steps of Law of Attraction:

ASK - He works 12 hours a day. He asked for more money. He was in line with free money in his cab because we've already proven he doesn't trot off to the police when he finds $20 bucks or a dime…so he is in line with receiving money left in his cab, or the storyline would have read 'Taxi driver known for returning everything found in his cab finds and returns 31 diamonds.' Nope - it sounded like this was the first the police had seen this guy in relation to returning money.

ANSWER - The Universe said 'Hey cabbie, since you are open to free money and free money left in your cab, here's some more free money!' The Universe just recognizes energy, it doesn't recognize that 20 bucks is small and 31 diamonds is HUGE. It's just responding to energy, and if you have received other money left in your cab, it just sends you some more money: 'Cool, this dude asks and is open to getting it in his cab - there ya go…delivered!'

RECEIVE - He was not open to receiving, because he had judgments that him taking this money would put someone else in a bad situation. That was his judgment, not a Universe's judgment. The Universe was just granting wishes. Now free will comes in where you can choose to say 'I don't want this because it goes against what I believe', but again that's human judgment. Remember, the Universe doesn't judge things as bad or good - Just IS…and there is no law saying if you ask for a red car and you get a red pinto with 4 unmatching tires that you can't say 'Hey Universe - that's not what I want - not gonna accept that - I wanted a red Honda!' The taxi driver said the same thing: 'Hey Universe - I wanted money but I didn't expect you to send $30K worth of money - that's too much - I couldn't possibly accept it…I wanted something more like 20 bucks.'

The Jeweler apparently holds a thought about 'I cannot lose money.' How do I know? She gives him a 30 cent tip and then a 100 dollar reward…so she is just saying real loud, 'I can't afford to lose money' and the Universe just gave more of that - LOSING MONEY. How did we expect the cab driver to be able to accept money he usually takes a year to make, all in one day?

So what's the difference between $20 and 31 diamonds? I think something we have not yet learned is how to get out of our own way and let the Universe work. We spend so much time telling the Universe how we expect it to act, and how we expect it to fulfill our wishes.
