About Us
Zane Teaches Us Manifestation - ZaneWave!
Like most couples and friends who've known each other for a long time, Amy and I have evolved a secret language of sorts. Various experiences, songs, TV shows, commercials, slogans, and people have left their mark on us and that has, in turn, left its mark on how we communicate and amuse each other.
For example, we have a certain relative who, no matter what we tell her, says "No," and then usually goes on to restate exactly what we've just told her but using words that she likes better than ours. And so it's not uncommon to find that when one of asks the other if we've done something or other, the other person will reply, "No, I've done..." and then admit that we have done precisely what we've just said "No" about. It's silly, but it's funny, at least to us, and it is a great way to lesson the annoyance we felt the first couple of thousand times we were on the receiving end of "No" from the person in question. At this point, in a way, it acknowledges her as special and it helps us take "No" for an answer in stride.
Those of you with your own secret semantics know what language experts know: language evolves. And so the "No" routine has evolved as has many other aspects of our personal communications. I won't go into how it's evolved or into what but I'll give you another example. Years ago, Van Morrison wrote and recorded a great song called "Wavelength." But after singing it for a while, it evolved into "Brain Wave." Why? You got me. Just for fun is the answer that works for me.
And then it evolved: we used the term "brain wave" as a verb, to describe when one of us was trying to call something to the attention of the other person psychically or trying to get them to "get" something without saying anything. I'm sometimes a typical oblivious man and will be prattling on about something that I shouldn't be saying anything about. And oftentimes, when Amy pinches or kicks me under the table or looks at me trying to get my awareness back, I've actually said "Why are you pinching/kicking/looking at me like that?" Ay yi yi, that's embarrassing, especially for a psychic. And so she brain-waves me and it seems to work, or I've become more psychic or more aware that I can screw up if I don't keep my mind on what I'm saying in the context of who I'm saying it to and where - the walls have ears!
It's weird, I know, but it's real and it's true, and if there's one thing little Zane, our shaman cat, teaches us every day it is to be real and honest. You don't get more Zen than Zane. He doesn't chop wood or carry water but he most certainly is one with himself. And he eats when he's hungry and sleeps when he's tired. Because we're always expecting him to communicate with us, he asks for what he wants and he usually gets it because we love making him happy.
But in the past few months Zane's communication skills have evolved in a noticeable way - he's brain-waiving us! We'll be working at our desks or walking through the house and suddenly we'll catch his vibe and look out on the back patio or the wooden railings that line our driveway, Zane's combination walkway and dining table, and there he is, sitting there brain-waving us to look at him and realize that he wants to be fed. I know he's not just sitting there because if you watch him you'll see him turn his head every once in a while and look back at our window to see if his brain-waving is working or not. I don't know how often he does this and we don't see him but it works often enough for him not to have given up trying, which cats will most certainly do if you don't live up to your end of the communication.
So here's this little cat teaching us all a lesson in how to manifest.
First, know beyond doubt that there are benevolent forces in your universe that love you as their own child and want to share with you their abundance, in this case cat treats and cat food and occassional tuna and occassional shrimp on the barbie (yes, he's learned to jump on our barbacue grill when he wants shrimp - an Australian past lifetime?)
Make a regular time in your day to do your brain-wave, your ritual of concentration on sending out the thought and believing without doubt that you are co-creating and an integral part in the manifesting of what it is that you want these benevolent forces to bestow on you.
Realize that these forces are quite busy, so even if you don't always get what you want when you want it, don't give up because you will succeed.
When the benevolent forces hear your brain-wave and speak to you in their way, telling you to hold on, that they see you, they hear you, they get it, and they'll be with you in a minute, be patient and don't walk away. To be Zane-honest, sometimes Zane starts to walk away, the big bluffer, and then comes right back and sits down. Point made. Hurry up, Monte.
And finally, once you've had your wishes granted and what you wanted manifested right at your feet, be grateful and show it. OK, now it's me who's brain-waving. Cats are not great examples of the gratitude attitude so I've probably convinced myself that Zane is putting out grateful vibes after he's done a successful brain wave on us.
And I guess the term brain waving has evolved to mean "reading into someone's appearance, actions, and thoughts various meanings that are not necessarily there." No, it means fooling yourself. OK Zane, I get it, it's time to eat. I feel you brain waving me. Or, are you Zane-Waving me? Wow! I've have got to contact the spirit of Charles Darwin and let him know that this evolution thing is getting out of hand, er paw!
