Our dear friend Bob electrocutes himself whilst
blow drying his hair in the bathroom one evening and suddenly finds himself in heaven. He is
somewhat bewildered, his last memory catching a glimpse of himself in the mirror with
frizzy hair as he fell with a thud to the ground. Anyway, his wonderful guide Gloria
comes to his aid and settles him in to his new situation. "So how do you think you
did Bob?" asks Gloria. "Well, very well I think. It's hard work down there. Work,
trouble, toil, striving to create new situations, overcoming challenges, it's quite
exhausting!" replied Bob with frustration in his voice.
"Oh?" replied Gloria "seems to me that you got everything you
asked for" "Everything I asked for! Have you gone completely mad? I
hardly ever got what I wanted. As I said, a lot of toil and trouble, broken dreams,
disappointments, just plain hard work."
Gloria placed her hand lovingly on Bob's knee and with a kind
look gazed into his eyes and said "No Bob, really, you got everything you asked
for. You see, the Universe is like God Inc and we have departments for
everything. Order departments, dispatch, marketing, management, everything, and we're all
working for you. Let me show you."
Gloria took Bob by the hand and took him into a very, very,
very large building. Hundreds of people were milling around all over the place,
carrying books, files, documents, people shouting across hallways and offices like a
busy stock exchange, an absolute sight of busyness. "This is the order department
Bob, look around" Gloria invited.
As Bob looked around, he could see fax machines pumping out
orders left right and centre, piles of documents several feet high on many desks,
documents being passed from one person to another. He was amazed by just how busy it
was. Gloria then took him by the hand to another room and in that room sat one
person, with one fax machine next to her desk. As he stood there, the beautiful
assistant received a fax which she read diligently and with a smile on her face, took
a rubber stamp that said "Implemented" on it, and crashed it down on the paper
with a look of sheer delight on her face. Gloria took bob out into the hallway and
looked at him. "Did you notice the difference between the two order departments
Bob?".
"Yes" replied Bob "Clearly that small office is for someone
special, a senior soul or something and the other office deals with lots and lots of
less important Souls" "No my dear Bob" replies Gloria "the small office is the
order department for a woman on Earth who is clear about what she wants, hardly ever
gives into doubt, doesn't feel that she has to compete with others, and is
clear about her intentions.
The other office, on the other hand, is your order
department." "Yeah, me and half of Earth's population" Bob retorted. "No
Bob" Gloria replied gently "it is YOUR order department. All of those people and
faxes work for you". "They do?" asked Bob "Yes Bob, each one of them works for you every moment of the
day" says Gloria "let me explain". Gloria goes on to explain to Bob that every
request he sends out in thought is received as a fax by God Inc and implemented. She
explains that Bob would send faxes saying something like "I want a new challenging
career, which is well paid, where I am independent and self reliant" and the order
is approved immediately by God Inc. Bob then goes for an interview and on his way out
he sends another fax saying "I'm not sure I'm good enough for this job, they seem
to be wanting to ask a lot of me". Gloria then explains that this fax, like the
first one, is approved and implemented, hence Bob does not get the job, and Bob in
return is angry. Gloria takes Bob by the hand and takes him to the office archive
where he can see every fax he has ever sent to God Inc. He is stunned, so many
contradictory orders concerning health, money, career, relationships, everything! For each
subject there are two piles "orders" and "cancelled orders". Bob was amazed to see
that the 'orders' and 'cancelled orders' piles were equal in many cases, and in
most cases, 'cancelled orders' exceeded 'orders'. "But the truth is Bob" Gloria says
to him "there are only orders.
It is God Inc's responsibility to fulfill your every
wish and whim, we are duty bound to obey your every command. So when you send us a
fax saying "I'm not sure I can do this" we have to honour it and fulfill that
order through your life's circumstances."
Bob looks at Gloria with wide eyes and says "So I really did
get everything I wanted?" "Yes Bob" replied Gloria "every fax sent to us is honoured
fully and it's a pity that you rarely read the faxes we sent you"
"You sent me faxes? When? How often?" Bob replies in
disbelief "Yes Bob" Gloria replies with a gentle smile on her face
"almost every day, but most of the time we simply got the busy signal, so we simply
couldn't get through to you. At times we would get creative and send a fax to a close
friend who would read it you, but you never really listened or took note. Over the
millennia, we've become very creative, we send faxes via friends, psychics, even
hidden faxes through TV, Radio and many, many books, but you missed so many of them. A
few times, when the line wasn't busy, we did get through and you would read the
fax with great interest, forget it, and then send us another fax asking for the same
information. We would then re-send it, you would read it again, ignore it, forget
it, dismiss it, whatever, and then re-fax us for the same information over
and over again." "Didn't you get tired with me" asked Bob
"No Bob, never" replied Gloria "that is our job, we only
noticed just how tired you were making yourself. So, dear Bob, I would like you to try
again. Go back to Earth, upgrade your fax receiving equipment, pay attention to what
you receive, and try to send us fewer, much clearer faxes in future. We are only here
to help you Bob."
