I’m feeling lucky

Another function you might have seen using Google, is also built-in in the Knowing.

It is activated with the ‘ I’m feeling lucky’ button.

In many others writings related to the Law of Attraction, the chapter dealing with this function is often called ‘the attitude of gratitude’.

The ' I'm feeling lucky' functionality is often also called upon with ' the attitude of gratitude'.

Since the Knowing works with the Law of Attraction and the’ I’m feeling lucky’-button is so prominently placed.... let’s have a closer look to what it does and how.

Knowing and understanding that might clarify why the results of using this method sometimes do and sometimes don’t produce satisfying results.

The easiest way to see how it works, it to actually open up your Google start page and play with the ‘I’m feeling lucky’ after entering a few search terms in the search box and observe what happens.

-----
Note: The  I'm Feeling Lucky button doesn't appear by default anymore.

Here's how you turn I'm Feeling Lucky back on:

1. Go to Search Preferences
2. Turn Off Google Instant. Use the setting "never show instant results." 

After you hit Save, you should see the I'm Feeling Lucky button whenever you search Google from the default www.google.com home page. 

-----

As you will see (or already know), it skips the list of search results and takes you directly into the page that is ‘ under the bonnet’ the number one ranking for this search query.

It has gained that number one ranking for many reasons. One of the reasons it that this page is very popular and commonly used. Logically: the content of this page seems to suit many people, so there is a good chance that it serves you too.

The fact that this button doesn’t appear by default anymore, may indicate that its popularity has decreased over time. Reason... it’s usability didn’t prove to lead in the majority of cases to the best result for you. 

There are many reasons why.
In the context of this blog, it is useful to zoom in on one: most people are not composing high quality search queries: specific enough and at the same time broad enough to catch the relevant data, let alone complete .

In order to make the number one ranking in a list useful to you, the quality of the question asked is highly important.

Google has a vested interest in keeping you happy with its services, so it is doing its best to support you in presenting the results that could be meaningful to you.
So, the ‘ I’m feeling lucky’ button still exists, but you’ve got to activate it deliberately, which is usually done by people who know what they can expect from using it.

By the same token.....in spiritual teachings a lot is (still) expected from using the ‘I’m feeling lucky button’, (as called upon with the attitude of gratitude).
If you were to bless everything you’d like to see more of in your life, nothing can go wrong.
Simply bless everything that happens in life, feel lucky with everything.

......even..... if you’re actually not so pleased with it, all of it? ....

....Well...... hmmmmm.........
Let’s say that that is not my personal understanding of how it works in a satisfying optimally suitable way.

This may stem from seeing that I am not conventional, by any stretch of imagination. 

Solutions that seem to appeal to ‘ most people’, hold often very little appeal to me. In defining who I am, I find myself often closer to ‘nobody’, than ‘everybody’:  “ Everybody is going left here (because everybody is going left here)... why is nobody going right here?”   ....

My understanding, from having taken the right turn ‘ nobody takes’ a multitude of times more often, finding interesting finds, I’d say  that the way the attitude of gratitude works lies ( in my perception) very close to the Google ‘ I’m feeling lucky’ button. 

It works well if:

• You are entirely happy and confident in using this method....knowing what you are doing and why.
•  Solutions that works for ‘ most people’, usually work for you.

If you are completely honest to yourself and you are just not entirely pleased with your current situation, but you bless it nevertheless fully, hoping that it will turn into something better all by your blessing.... don’t be too surprised when it doesn’t!

It would be like giving Google the same search query, press ‘ I’m feeling lucky’ (over and over again)  and then hoping that it will show you something else this time.
Funnily enough....it might, eventually!  Since under the bonnet, ranking changes because the traffic data on all the sites changes.
However, you visiting the very same site over and over again, is only adding to its number one position in the rankings! So, don’t hold your breath to see much change.

If you’d like to be presented with better, more suitable to you options, having looked at what has been presented and assessed what you like about it and what you don’t like about it ( thank you very much for enlightening me on both scores!), you can alter your search query.
A little bit more specific on this element.... a little bit less limiting on that element.... see what happens now.

Doing that puts you in more control of what is presented to you (thank you very much), it is actively and consciously finetuning your search queries.

Composing high quality search queries is to me key to retreiving/seeing what actually suits you.
High quality search queries, as said, are specific enough and at the same time broad enough to catch the relevant data and are complete .

This is already quite something to do in words, using a search engine like Google, for the number one ranking to be precisely what you are looking for!!!

The Knowing works with the search query you compose with your whole resonance. Your words make up maybe 20% of that ( and that’s only if those words are completely honest, in line with your true feelings).

The ‘I’m feeling lucky’ functionality?
I’d recommend:..... only play with that when you actually feel completely and utterly lucky already indeed and you are confident that being presented with a ‘slightly-off’ result isn’t likely to ruin your day/life.

Please note: I do feel there is a place in this world for an attitude of gratitude.
I am not against it, or opposing anybody shaping his/her life to full satisfaction with it.
I even agree that blessing Good Things is very supportive to the quality of life and the quality of search queries ( with as a result: ..... high quality results).

I do however give an alternative to the ‘ I’m feeling lucky’ functionality in life, using the Knowing.
It is an option that works well for me.

But remember... I am usually closer to nobody then everybody.
So don’t say I didn’t alert you that this option (mentioned in the next blog post) works for nobody.
