Magic Forums

I recently became interested in the universal consciousness and magic. So I did my best to read and study. I started to believe. I do believe. About five weeks ago I felt a connection. I started asking this energy about when certain things would happen. Nothing big, just small stuff like how many attemps would it take in a video game to gain a specific item. I received the exact number, the exact information 5 times. These weren't random guesses, I knew. I deeply knew. One evening during that time I was looking out a window in my house. It was around midnight, and I suddenly thought, I think a racoon is going to walk by. About one minute later, a racoon walked by.
A few days later I went to a Tears for Fears concert in Chicago and then the next day went on a week long vacation. Since I've been back I'm having difficulty connecting or feeling that cnnection. Is there a pattern here? Do people that get that first connection often find it difficult to reconnect again later?
