Hello Fellow Thrill Seekers
Sorry it has taken so long to add another post. I have been working on other projects related to my business. I am back on the road, sitting in the parking lot of McDonalds and writing this on my laptop. I am connected to the internet, what a country! I just downloaded the programs from Wheeling and will handicap them later and then go to Hinsdale and play the dogs again.
I hit the tri in one of the two A races at Hinsdale yesterday so we are starting on a good note. it is raining and the track will be off but it effects the dogs less than the horses so I’ll still play them. I wish I could narrow it down to a golden formula for how I handicapped the dog races yesterday so you could all easily learn to pick winners, but it doesn’t work that way. I had to look at each entry in the races, compare them to each other dog in the race and then choose two key dogs who I thought had a better chance of winning than the other dogs. I then keyed on them as well as boxing them with two other dogs I thought were able to compete on their level. My four dog boxes hit one tri and a small superfecta that was an all as well as having the winners in both races. My magic formula is over twenty years of experience and one other thing.
This is where it gets a little tricky. I use intention and the knowledge of my participation in each race I think about and watch. No I don’t jump out there on the track with the dogs, but my thoughts are there and they are within my thoughts. Many people watch a race and think they are not connected with it, but in my opinion that isn’t the case. I am connected with everything I think of and that includes the race. I thought about the race and how each dog would run and my thoughts went into universal mind where the race took place. Since there is only one mind I was thinking with the same mind that created the whole universe including the dogs and the race. Do you see how my consciousness and thoughts could effect that race? Especially since I was aware of it and awareness makes it more effective. I am not saying that I controlled the race, because I didn’t. But I do think the thoughts of spectators have an effect on an event.
Here is another example. I have noticed that more favorites win on days when there is a big crowd at the track. I used to think that racing secretaries set up easy races to please the crowd and all the recreational players who show up on weekends and holidays. I thought they put one or two really good dogs in an advantageous postion so the crowd of bettors who weren’t very sophisticated could easily spot the dog with the best chance of winning and made it the favorite in the betting pools. But now I am not so sure. The dogs who ran yesterday were the same dogs who ran on Sunday when there was a pretty big crowd. So why did they run differently yesterday than on Sunday? They were the same dogs on the same track running against about the same dogs they faced before, but there was a much smaller crowd yesterday. Now maybe the same percentage of people backed the favorite, but this time there was less intention behind it and so luck or some other forces played a bigger part. Perhaps the trainer who really thought and felt his/her dog had a good chance to win despite how it looked on paper didn’t have much chance since it was one person’s intention against many on Sunday. But yesterday the same person’s intention was against the opinion of a much smaller crowd so it had more of a chance of happening.
No matter what we do in life, we are always living in the universal mind that created us with thought, or the Word as he Bible puts it. Our own thoughts are creative on many levels. So how can there be such a thing as non-participation? Maybe believing we aren’t influencing an event has an effect on the potential of our thought to influence events, but then when the events are occuring and we are caught up in them and lose track of our doubts our thoughts start to work on the event. For instance, I handicap a race and think the seven in the race hasn’t been running well lately and will probably lose. But then the race starts and the seven gets a lucky break and a hole opens up and it shoots out toward the lead. All of a sudden I think to myself, “Wow, that seven could win this race!”
At that moment I nullified the doubt I intended and replaced it with an intention charged with excitement and not tinged with doubt. For a brief moment I believe the seven can win and that thought is instantly picked up by mind. If, as I have noted in other writings on this site, life is a collection of possibilities, then when I handicap a race I see the possiblities and may even create them by thinking them. Each one of those possiblities becomes a potential and then is acted upon by mind. I am not the only one thinking about the race or event, though so many other thoughts are effecting it. That is where belief comes into play. I think belief is the power behind the possiblity that gives it the potential. The more belief, the more potential.
So each event in our lives becomes a possiblity and we can effect them with our thoughts. Never think that something is completely beyond your control or that you are powerless. Thought is the most powerful force in creation and we each have the ability to create thoughts. Whether it is a medical issue or an upcoming elecion or a very personal matter, each thought will have an effect. We may not have complete control over events, but we can effect them. So each one of us must take some responsibility for the events in our lives and world. Just as I was a part of each race I watched yesterday you are a part of the human race and the rat race.
I think it would be fun to get a group of adventurous people together and try to use thought to influence an event that was taking place such as a race or other sporting event. It wouldn’t have to involve betting or money, but it would have to be effected by luck and chance. One person who is doing a similar experiment is Steve Pavlina. I urge you to check out his million dollar experiement at http://www.stevepavlina.com/million-dollar-experiment.htm. I also urge you to read Greg Braden’s books such as, “The Isaiah Effect”.
