The logic of Existence
In India, when any new venture is started, they sit down for a few moments, close the eyes and remain in a meditative mood. They try to bring about some kind of an energy play or transformation inside them in those few seconds. Of course over the years this has become a prayer and a ritual; that is a different issue. But the first thing that they try to do is sit down and try to kindle the energy flow in them.

When the energy flow in us becomes fulfilling, it has the property of influencing the outer world incidents. Whether you believe it or not, accept it or not, like it or not, want it or not, you are deeply connected to Existence. You are an integral part of Existence, not an independent island as you think. Every subtle movement or subtle thought in one part of the universe causes a counter-effect at that same moment elsewhere in the universe.
Our thoughts and energy flow have the capacity to create and attract incidents and people of the same nature. It has been proven by a scientist in Japan that our thoughts can affect the chemical structure of a mere glass of water. Then just imagine, how much our thoughts can affect our body and mind which is made up of blood! Our thoughts have the capacity to affect the seas. Be very clear: all the so-called natural calamities are nothing but the effects of global negative thoughts.
From youth, we have been trained in 'Mathematics logic', never in 'Existential logic'. Mathematics logic is very straightforward and should be applied only to things where it is appropriate. In matters concerning life and relationships, Mathematics logic will cause only chaos. With it, we will always look to conclude with a 'good' or 'bad' judgment. There is something beyond and more deep than this and that is Existential logic. This comes with a deep understanding and flowering within.
Your thoughts and energy directly affect your body, your cell structure, your decisions, your capacity to fulfill your decisions, the outer world incidents, even accidents! Currently, you are always centered in either greed or fear. Every action that you do is out of either desire or fear. It becomes very easy for others to exploit you because of this; you become very vulnerable. You also create a mental setup that creates and attracts similar incidents towards you. You corrupt your energy flow because of this cycle.
If you can change your mental setup from this type to one of Bliss - ananda, then your energy flow will start brimming and your thoughts will be much clearer and more in the present. When you do this, you have all the power to control the outer world incidents because then, you and Existence have a very deep connection at the Energy level. This is the thread that you need to catch in order to understand that Bliss attracts fortune. When you are blissful, when your mental setup is not one of worry, fear or greed but one that is in the present, always joyful, you will automatically attract all good things to yourself.
