THE UNIVERSE Is ALWAYS Sending You SIGNS...BUT Are You LISTENING...!

 



In the Summer of 2005, the real estate market in this country was on FIRE. Individuals were leaving their 'day jobs' to become buy and -quick flip- house hunters.  Especially in the 'City of Angels.  And I wanted in on all the action.  As did one of my best buds.  When the student is ready, the teacher will appear! And our real estate instructors were coming into Long Beach, CA for a two day seminar on the art of buying, fixing, and flipping houses for a ton of dough.  Heidi ho, heidi dough!   LOL!


My partner in crime and I made the hour long trek down to Long Beach one early Saturday morning. We had already digested a handful of books on the subject like two, true, New Age Nerds. We were waiting and ready to receive whatever SPIRIT had in store for us that weekend.  


The first day's seminar was broken up into two parts.  Both four hours in length.  The two of us were so busy jostling down notes in our real estate journals that we barely thought about food. But suddenly, a co-facilitator of the event walked on stage and announced it was time for our one hour lunch break.  The event planners broke the audience of hundreds up into groups of four.  They desired each group to act as a mini-mastermind. To spend the hour not only eating, but 'dreaming and scheming' with one another.  For where there are many, acting as ONE, the fruits will always be multiplied!  


Our fearsome foursome consisted of me and my buddy, as well as a dashing gentleman in his late 40's and an enigmatic woman of Middle Eastern descent approaching 60. (my guess) Small chat amongst us began in earnest as we walked across the street toward the culinary delight filled TGIF restaurant. LOL  


Given the crowd soon to come, we were fortunate enough to be seated quite quickly. Our preferred choices daringly decided, small talk resumed as we awaited our food. I chimed in to ask if everyone was open to sharing a quick story about themselves. A great ice breaker I thought!  And the team was more than obliged to take part.  


My friend and the gent now seated to his right, told stories about their family.  Both obviously married with kids. And then, our Middle Eastern friend slowly began to spin her tale. Through a thick accent, and a powerful essence, she had us hooked with the first word "well."  What followed was a story for 'All Ages!'  MIND BLOWING in substance and nature!


Her magnanimous story began nearly 40 years prior. When, as a 19 year old, she began to have fainting spells.  Apparently, she had fainted over a dozen separate times; many down the stairs, and even once while behind the wheel of her SUV.  Her doctors were completely flummoxed! They couldn't find one single thing wrong with her.  Despite the visitation of one specialist after another, she received nothing more than head scratching frustration. 


Until one morning, when she fainted while walking down her home's tall staircase and tumbled straight down into the basement!  Thankfully, her father happened to be home from work at the time and urgently rushed to her side.  She explained to us in great detail what occurred next.


She could feel her SOUL leave her body as she watched from above as her father tried his very best to arouse her!  She saw him crying with desperate tears.  "It's OK dad," she attempted to shout.  "I'm alright.  I'm right here!"  Before she could muster the strength to utter another word (on the 'other side', we speak through our emotions, but THAT is for another day)  she was suddenly whisked through time and space! She described it in great detail.  It reminded me of the scene in the Jodie Foster film Contact. (If you have yet to see this movie, place it high on your Netflix binge list) When Foster's character is placed in a pod built from extra terrestrial intelligence and sent cruising through the Cosmos; a vortex of vibrant lights bending into a matrix of delusionary images.  Spinning tunnels of SPIRIT filled abundance, wrapped in clouds of pure consciousness!  


And then, she espoused, everything came to a jarring stop!  What she uttered next still resides deep within my own inner being.  An energetic form, too beautiful to accurately describe, slowly approached her. And although the face of this sentient being never fully actualized, she fervently believes it was the essence of Jesus the Christ!  The closer in proximity this 'being' became, the more she described being bathed in UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.  A warm glow of "UNADULTERATED JOY" washed over her, she gushed.


Communication between the two radically began.  Resolute with each and every word, she said, "I was told that I would be returning, healthy and whole, to my human body.  And now had a MISSION to be fulfilled. I would be given an ability.  A special gift. The superpower to KNOW when someone was NOT following their own personal CALLING.  And it would be up to me to help them re-member."  We were all quickly jolted from our trancelike sensation, woven by this glorious gal, by the waiter delivering our tasty treats. 


Looking at the clock, we noticed our one hour lunch break was quickly coming to a close. So we scarfed down our food and began to divvy up the check.  My buddy had to use the rest room, so he hurriedly shot off away from the table.  And then, just as I was turning to walk toward the establishments door, this Wisdom Warrior softly tugged on my shirt. In her thick Middle Eastern accent, she softly uttered, "Jeff, will you stay back with me for a bit?"  


"Absolutely," I said.  And the next five minutes changed the course of my life FOREVER!

She moved in very close to my 'personal space.'  And looked me dead in the eyes before explaining, "Jeff, you KNOW why you are here, don't you?"  


"Of course I do!  To learn to buy some real estate and gobble down some of TGIF's finest vittles," I chuckled.  

She remained super stoic. "No.  You know why you are here on Earth?" she questioned.  "Jeff, you are here to be a great spiritual teacher.  To help change the world.  And I know you understand this.  But why do you not do, what you came here to do?" she said with great intent. Tears began to flow down my cheeks. It was hard for me to maintain eye contact. She was telling the truth!  And I did know it.  I had since I was 17 years young.  Yet, 20 years later, I was still dabbling and circling my CALLING.  Never committing to it.  "I still don't feel ready," I told her.  

"You are more ready than you allow yourself to believe," was her sage advice.  

She grabbed both of my hands with a soft caress.  Touched my chin, and gently lifted up my face so that our eyes could connect.  "There are not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of people that you are here to assist.  You must follow this path.  The world is waiting for you.  I am here to share this remembrance with you. But it is you who must keep your promise."


My tears became something more akin to leaky faucets. It struck me as so truthful. I felt this prickly feeling that grew into BLISS.  It felt as though my own SOUL was 'Jumping for JOY.'  "Right on, Jeff!  I'm here, for you, and as you, for us all,"  I garnered from this inner, yet otherworldly sensation!  


I hugged her tight and she wouldn't let me go.  At least not before whispering into my ear, "Keep your promise."  Our embrace came to its close and I spent a few minutes trying to compose myself. Looking at the clock, I was already five minutes late to the second half of that day's seminar.  I dashed back across the street and took my seat alongside my good friend.  At the close of that day's event, I searched and searched, but could not find this Super Soul Saver, anywhere.  In fact, I NEVER SAW HER AGAIN!



SUPERHEROES IN TRAINING TAKEAWAYS


I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard the utterance, "I wish life came with a guidebook!"  Well, it actually does!  We are often just too distracted to actually receive it. 

The Universe is constantly communicating directly with you. Sometimes it is quite subtle in nature. It may whisper its messages through the next song on your Alexa playlist. Or the children's television show you have watched for the 100th time. Yet during the 101st replay, you are relaxed and fully present. And, BOOM, it jumps out at you. Just what you needed to hear!  It was always there! (slap to the forehead)  

Remember Dorthy, from the Wizard of Oz. Her lesson is OURS!   That's why that film will continue to transcend its place in time forever!  Her 'super powers,' along with all the answers she was searching for were right there with her; the entire time.  She just needed to be remembered of them. That's what we are all doing here my dearly beloved New Age Nerds! Assisting one another in remembering 'Who We Really Are.'  


Haven't you ever wondered why this extraordinary planet is filled with so many amazing creatures?  Yes, its partly because all of nature is where the garden of 'Awe and Astonishment' is nurtured.  But it is also because it gives the Universe the most unimaginably wondrous ways through which to communicate with us!  As when a recently passed member of your tribe promises to communicate with you once 'on the other side.'

And the love of birds or butterflies that you both shared is the very sign that begins to show up on a regular basis!  

As for me personally, I wouldn't have it any other way!  Forget the guidebooks.  Give me the serenity of season's change. The sense of emotionally charged power and ONENESS that imbues my heart and soul when synchronicity graces me with its magic! The wonder of NOT KNOWING, until suddenly, YOU DO!  All because someone carried a seed meant to be ever so gently caressed and then planted within the unique emanation of the ONE GOD MIND.  


Once the few begin to commit to awakening the many, our current opioid epidemic will be vanquished back to the land of the lost.  Because once you taste the sweet nectar from the chalice of your Super Heroic Higher Self, the high from any foreign substance will feel emotionally barren. I promise!  ;0)


So I think it's time for all of us to make a commitment to ourselves and others. I pledge allegiance, to the flag......ummm  no no no.  Wrong pledge!  LOL!


Seriously, what would it feel like to commit to becoming a fully self actualized Soul on this planet. Declaring to the Universe that you are ready, willing, and waiting!  You won't even have to do all the heavy lifting.  Because in leaving all the 'HOW's' to the Universe, you will be free to see with fresh eyes; listen with eager ears. For all the magical manners in which the Grand Creator herself will impress upon you the soft signs, intuitive hunches, and in your face wallops of wisdom from many corners of your daily experiences! Leading you to all your own answers. And blessing you with the directions and plans to fulfill your personal CALLING. And then never ending abundance in all its forms suddenly floods your daily experience; all for you to share these gifts in loving service with the world.  Sound groovy?!  It sure does to me!


BE SUPER HEROIC!
