[World] The Law of Attraction and On Abogya, Part 1

**Please give me 7 minutes to read this article**

I'm going to tell you something outlandish.

Have you ever thought, "I wish I could do that, it would be great if I could"?

I've found a groundbreaking way to make it happen...

Huh? You want to "fly freely through the sky"...?

Yes.
Please face reality.

Setting aside the classic jokes.

I want to talk about the Law of Attraction, which has long since moved past being just a spiritual term and has become a common household phrase.
You know it, right? The Law of Attraction.

You know it, right? The Law of Attraction.

It's the idea that if you think, "I wish I could do this, I wish that would happen," it will come true. (Provided it is actually possible, of course.)
That said, it is also true that these days, people might roll their eyes at you, saying, "Yeah, yeah, some people can do it and some can't," or "Mrs. Flower-Patch is talking about that stuff again."

That said, it is also true that these days, people might roll their eyes at you, saying, "Yeah, yeah, some people can do it and some can't," or "Mrs. Flower-Patch is talking about that stuff again."

GAN-chan, who shares information about the laws of the universe, explains how the Law of Attraction works in an easy-to-understand way.

Back in my younger days, I once left the house in an outfit even worse than pajamas and ended up at the Aeon mall. I walked around trying to hide behind my mother's back, wishing, "If I run into anyone, I'll die. Please, let me not run into anyone." And of course, that was the very day I bumped into Harada-kun, the guy I had a crush on, and died of embarrassment. If only I had known back then that this was the Law of Attraction.

[The World], the card that marks the end of the Major Arcana in the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, is a card that represents the "integration" of the physical and spiritual worlds.

A card that suggests that the conscious and subconscious minds are 'integrated,' and that the wishes deep in your soul are manifesting right before your eyes.
For some, it's a story to be laughed at as absurd.
For others, it's a story that makes them lean in, calling it a mysterious experience that piques their interest!
For others still, I want to tell a story that will make them nod deeply and say, 'Did you notice it too?'

To put it in line with GAN-chan's explanation, I discovered a 'way to cancel an order after you've made a negative one'.

It is 'On Abogya'.

Those who are knowledgeable about Buddhism will understand.
It is the Light Mantra.
It is a sutra chant.

I live in New Zealand, where temples and Buddhism are no longer close to me, and since I've recently come to feel the gratitude for Buddhism more keenly than ever,
I've adopted the habit of listening to sutra chanting on YouTube in the morning.

When I listen to the chanting, I focus on following the words.
I pour all my attention into the sounds the monk makes.
When I do that, all the things that have been bothering me daily,
and all the things I think about at random moments,
just go away.
I discovered that I can enter a so-called meditative state.
And when the chanting ends and I bow to YouTube,a feeling of 'gratitude'wells up.

Things like, I was able to wake up this morning.
Things like, my whole family is living safely.
Things like, one way or another, I am alive today.

And since I do it every day, I memorized a passage of the chant, so
chanting that passage for 'coincidental good luck'
became natural to me.
And my favorite passage is
On Abogya.
For example, if an avocado is perfectly ripe when I cut it,
On Abogya.
If I leave the house after the rain and there's a rainbow!
On Abogya.

Like that, while using it casually, I was vaguely aware of the power of
On Abogya.
I also started using it like this.

When I'm driving and on a road that's always crowded,
On Abogya.
On days when I want to make it to an appointment on time, I can go through smoothly, or if there's an errand I don't really want to do,

On Abogya.An unforecasted strong wind comes and it gets canceled.

I formed a hypothesis that this might be the power to cancel out negative thoughts like, 'Ah, I don't want it to turn out like this!'
and calm my emotions to a standstill.
That's right, these areOn Abogya,
the 'coincidences I intentionally caused'through.
I have acquired magic!!!!!!
(Dun dun duuuuuuuuuun!!!!!!)

In everyday life,
there are probably many people who wouldn't believe it.
It would just be dismissed as mere luck.
And the content as an article is thin.

So, I want to tell you now about a special
On Abogya Mysterious Adventure experiencethat I recently faced.
(I really raised the bar, didn't I?)

It's a story from a family trip.

I mentioned that I went on an overseas trip for the first time in six years recently,

and this is the story from that time.

Actually, there was a bit of a struggle before we even arrived.

According to our itinerary, we were supposed to leave Wellington Airport at 9:50, transfer at Auckland International Airport, and catch a 14:00 flight to Fiji.

Since there is never any harm in acting early when traveling abroad, we arrived at the airport at 6:00 in the morning.
When we checked in, that was when we were told about a schedule change.
9:50 became 10:20.
30 minutes is no problem. We thought, 'At least we won't have time to kill in Auckland,' and took it lightly.

However, these flight reschedules continued one after another.
It was changed to 11:00, then to 12:10.
Since the flight time is one hour, the 12:10 flight would arrive at 13:10.
That left us with less than an hour until the next flight!
At that point, I felt that making the transfer was impossible, so I went to the airport desk to consult with them.
It was past 9:00.

I explained the situation to the airport staff.
The staff member's face clouded over.
Normally, we would change you to another airline's flight, but just today, all other airlines' flights are also canceled.
There was fog near the airport,
a mechanical issue was found with the plane,
and on top of that, pilots were calling in sick one after another just today.

Just today of all days!!!!

I asked, 'Is there anything you can do?' using the innocent faces of my 5-year-old twins as a weapon.
There was no way they could create a new flight for us, a regular family.
We asked with a desperate hope, even as we wondered ourselves what 'anything' could possibly mean.
Hmm. I wonder why so much bad luck has piled up like this. I think it will be the first flight tomorrow morning, but I will do my best. Please take a seat and wait.

After being told that, and with the feeling that our one day in Fiji was about to be ruined, I chanted
On Abogyain my heart.I asked my husband, who is not a Buddhist, to think about

a rainbow-colored statuebecause we are partners in fate. His power of attraction is also important.

On Abogya
On Abogya

I chanted in my heart while watching my daughters color to pass the time.

And then, 40 minutes.
40 minutes that felt like an eternity.
40 minutes that changed our fate.
For 40 minutes, I kept chanting
On Abogyain my heart.

We were called by the airport desk staff.
The result was!!!
