Aha! 31.5

I was walking along the sidewalk alone at night and began to daydream about being mugged. I was fantasizing in detail about how I would get out of this situation without an emotional reaction. I was half-aware of my physical surroundings. Then, in real life I hear, "Give me all your money," and all at once I fully see the 3 teenagers who had been coming opposite me on the sidewalk, one of whom has (I hope) his finger in his sweatshirt pointed at me like a gun.

I had literally been shaken out of my daydream into a startlingly similar reality. I felt no fear or other emotion. For a moment I stared, and then the kid's friends behind him started laughing and they kept walking.

I felt immediately as if I had attracted this situation to me. I asked Yi today, what is the lesson from that situation? 31.5.

I wonder now if I had some sort of sense that this threat was nearby. Maybe I attracted it to myself as well. I think both things can be true. I feel there is much more in this reading for me to absorb, but I wanted to share what felt like Yi hitting the nail on the head.
