How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted

I picked a book up from the library with an irresistible title, How to Get Everything You Ever Wanted. I mean, how could I not pick it up with that kind of promise?
As silly as the title is, it's pretty cool. I think. The subtitle is Complete Guide to Using Your Psychic Common Sense. It's written by Adrian Calabrese, Ph.D, a woman with 2 doctorates (Psychical Research & Metaphysics - oh, to get a doctorate in those!) and big hair. It's a handy 6-step guide, one less thing to deal with than Stephen Covey, better for us lazy folk.
Being lazy, I've only jumped about it a bit, opening here and there. Don't ask me what the six steps are, haven't read even the table of contents. But I found part that's totally cool and have to share it. (Printed without the author's permission, but I think the Universe doesn't count this as plagiarism.)

Here's how she suggests we put together what she calls affirmations. Some of us might call them wishes or mock-ups or manifestations. The examples are taken verbatim from the book. The components are:

1. Request: I am the owner of a new 1993 black Jeep Cherokee. I am able to afford it, I have the downpayment, I get credit easily, and payments are low and easy for me to meet.
2. Express gratitude: I thank the Universe (God/Goddess/the Source, etc.) for this Jeep, which is already mine...
3. Protect: ...and has come to me in a safe and loving way...
4. Remove limits: ... I receive this or something better, in my highest and greatest good, and that of all concerned...
5. Acknowledge: ... in accordance with divine will and the free will of all concerned...
6. Finalize: And so it is!

I don't know. This just makes sense and sounds really cool, aside from the specifics of the Jeep, of course. Creating's pretty groovy and I'm kind of into it right now. The Universe feels pretty open and responsive right now. Doesn't it? Is that just me or are other people feeling it, too? Are we on the cusp of a major shift in human perspective or am I just on my personal spiritual journey?
But even more importantly, I'd like to know if my dreams about zombies reflect anything other than my fear of zombies? I need to know these things.
