Universe always took stuff literally.
Intentions were never taken into consideration.
Negatives in a statement are not seen by the Universe.

So, if you want the flow of the Universe to work with you, be very clear, be not emotional and only use positive statements.

So....just suppose that you are stranded on a horrible dangerous island and had a whole string of horrific accidents.
Just ask to go back to a better place.
Do not start a litany of all the dangers you do not want to be exposed to.
