What do you all think of 'Cosmic Ordering'? I think it was Noel Edmonds that made the term widely known and people usually don't take it seriously. But I'm not so sure. For example, when I get ready to go into town I 'order' a parking space, ie I ask the universe for a parking space in a certain lot, visualise it, hit the road and without fail, I manage to get parked even when it's really busy.
