Thank you for all of the kind words in your posts, not only to me, but to our friends here on the Trump Train.

Andrew Carnegie, author of Think And Grow Rich, studied the wealthiest men of his time, specifically- their shared habits and behaviors used to succeed. One skill or quality recommended and used by the most successful of their day, was to be able to tap into a power or resource referred to as infinite intelligence. It’s that unexplainable force that moves in a mysterious undefinable way, that can be conjured up and used with recognition and belief skills, and manifests or delivers things we desire, often at the darndest of times. Some call it far more than coincidence.

Having hiked for over four years now, from March to November, I have had the remarkable experience, multiple times over, of having things appear or go my way, at what seems like the most perfect moments in time.

I go with the flow, and do not believe that when it happens, it’s happened for the last time. I am grateful, with no expectations for further benefit, but do not dismiss the possibility of further good fortune. It’s kind of an uncanny learned skill that just happens, and believing in the art of it, seems to be a key factor. It’s hard to put into words. Infinite intelligence kind of connects everything at some metaphysical level. No witchcraft or voodoo. Just the operation of the 3.5 pounds of grey matter that the good Lord gave us to use.

Maybe- it’s even simpler yet: having a belief that the good Lord will provide. ;O)

A practical explanation seems to be that living outdoors for 6-8 months speaks to us at a primal level and taps into our dna or blueprints, and after time, up bubbles all of these innate skills that have perhaps lay dormant from our birth, or perhaps it’s just our senses coming more alive as we have to rely on them in serious survival situations, to include life or death decisions. It’s like the old adage- use it or lose it.

I feel very blessed to be able to traipse across the rivers and valleys, the mountains and deserts, in California, Oregon, and Washington, with everything that I need, tucked into a backpack that I wear strapped to my back, and to live relatively comfortably as I do so, in all manner of climate and weather.

I do know what your saying and you really know how to put it into words for understanding. It seems you have quite a lot of Native American Indian in you as I see it. I could be totally off base.

I’ve lived with the presence of people around me most of my life. I’ve only started actually seeing more of them in the last ten years or so. I fell into listening to people who didn’t understand and advised me to sell items in the house thinking my situation would change. Big mistake. I now only talk to other people who have experiences somewhat like me and it seems our paths quite often cross others for understanding.

Your open to crossing paths with others who have lead you in the direction you need to go and how to experience what they have to give. Have a good summer and keep us posted.
