I meant also to add that whatever you focus upon draws that experience to you. Hence if you feel fear and focus on the potential of stepping on a shell (which is a personal example for me ) then you are likely to do just that (as I did when I feared I would). By the same token, if you feel safe and secure, you are far more likely to experience this safety in an intensified way. It is not a wish, it is an intention that draws the experience to you. There is a difference. And intention is related to focus.

It may also be explained that rather than drawing the scenario to you, it is the dimension you step into in which that scenario occurs. If you consider the concept of many possible choices that exist every moment of your life, and if these choices are dimensional worlds through which you will travel dependent upon which choice you make, then what occurs is that you step into the dimensional world (one of many possibilities) in which you are injured by a shell (if you focus on the fear of shells). Because focus is a steering mechanism toward which dimensional world you are choosing (whether you choose consciously through intent, or subconsciously through fear).
