Signs From Above

Are you aware of the true nature of reality: a world filled with infinite possibilities and pure potential? How about the law of attraction?  Or do you simply perceive the events around you are caused by pure randomness or coincidence?

As an example, Peter and his wife have been trying to have a child for years. They have been very supportive of each other and their love for each other is deep and strong.  They have been visiting doctors, homeopaths, aroma therapists etc...  Peter has a small computer shop, but recently things have been a bit unusual in the shop.  He notices that most of the clients coming in are pregnant women and couples with new born babies. Peter thinks: this is not normal… what does it mean? Is the universe punishing me?  To his amazement he soon finds out his wife is pregnant.

Have you ever thought of someone, and just at that moment they call you?  Or have you opened a book on a random page only to find the solution to a current problem?  Do you keep accidentally seeing certain friends while you’re out and about?

Of course you have!  On the surface some may pass this off as pure chance, but I challenge you to be more aware of these occurrences and you will be pleasantly surprised.  When you follow the trail of coincidences you are rewarded with magical, meaningful, even miraculous occurrences. This is a topic I have written about before, but your interest in the subject and my own recent personal experience encouraged me to write about it again.  Perhaps this article is no coincidence.  In the past few weeks I have come across one sign after another; though they didn’t mean anything individually, together they came to lead me to a beautiful story.

A few weeks ago I came across a St Christopher pendant at our local market. I respect and appreciate all religions so I was immediately drown to it and bought it. I didn’t know the meaning it carried, but I took it home and placed it next to other pendants in a box.  After a week or so I decided to wear the pendant and a friend saw it and said, “Oh St Christopher, a traveller’s protector, are you going somewhere?”  I had no plans to travel.
However, soon after this I received a call; my daughter was ill and needed me urgently.  She lives in Mossel Bay.  I left as soon as I could, but at the back of my mind there was an uneasy thought, a warning to be cautious.

I packed, looked in the mirror, saw my pendant and I felt immediately protected. Believing in my own inner knowing and the power of positive thought I meditated for a while: I placed myself and the car in a protective white light then sealed this protective field and visualised myself arriving safely at my destination.

As I was driving, many thoughts rushed through my mind, one of them being this month’s newsletter…  About an hour and half out of Cape Town I noticed the energy field that I entered was not good.  An uneasy feeling came over me, I looked around, but there was nothing but open field and hills in view.  This dark energy was stirring my solar plexuses and I heard the voice in my head saying, “going through the valley of the shadow of death”. This energy felt dangerous and I felt I needed to be more cautious.
I then acknowledged the co-dependent dual forces: the light that gives life to dark and the dark force which gives life to light. I couldn’t deny the energy I was in.  I have been in my shadow side at times and am well aware of its power, so I paid respect to the dark force and asked permission for my passing safely through the valley.

Just as these thoughts were running through my mind under a bright light I saw something running on the road not so far ahead from me.  I slowed down and prayed that this animal would not to jump in front of the car.  As I got closer I saw it, it was a brown rabbit. After a few seconds he hopped off.
Luckily I had slowed down sufficiently and not swerved which could have caused an accident.  I then thought of the spiritual meaning of the rabbit in various belief systems. It’s amazing how many thoughts can run through one’s mind in the span of a few seconds... Shamans believe the rabbit represents fear, Arabs believe they are a bad luck sign, a warning of a danger or illness. These thoughts made me slow down again, and around the bend suddenly in front of me appeared a big herd of cows in the middle of a highway.  I braked sharply and held the steering wheel tightly.  The cows were not moving, so I repeatedly said: “cows are moving; cows are moving... car will stop, will stop, and will stop!”  It felt as though it was in slow motion and I couldn’t escape.  Cows were everywhere I was heading straight towards them.

Eventually the car stopped... I was in shock and so were the poor cows!  I couldn’t believe what had just happened.  I didn’t hit any of them - it was just like a Hollywood movie when the car stops just before… etc etc.  The cows had moved just enough for the car to move in between them.  The car stopped about 10-20cm before hitting a calf, and there was a cow standing on the right side of car by the side mirror as well on the left hand side. They stared at me with their beautiful big eyes.

I could finally breathe. When the cows moved I moved the car to the side of the road and put my hazards on to warn other cars.  After a while the cows passed to the other side of the road and I left, amazed by the experience I had just encountered.  I was grateful that both the cows and I were safe.  
As I continued to drive everything became so clear to me.  All the signs flashed in front of my eyes as though they were pieces of a puzzle.  Then, the cherry on the cake, further down the road I saw an owl on the pole and as I passed it flew across and above my car. That was the finishing sign as an owl is my personal totem, representing clairvoyance and the art of in-depth sight.  I felt blessed, protected and very happy and I thanked the divine light and dark for my signs and for not hurting me.  I heard the same voice in my mind saying, you are me, I will never hurt you, you hurt yourself!  The voice was clear and loud. It is true that it is our choices that bring upon hurt.  What would have happened if I had ignored all those signs and didn’t slow down?  What if I was not aware of them or had taken them as random coincidences?  Perhaps I would not have been able to share my story with you today.

I finally arrived safely at my destination and attended to my daughter, just as I had visualised in my meditation.

Law of attraction: Let’s look at the daily experiences of our lives in a more meaningful way and let’s take note of the trails of signs that lead us to significant moments called miracles. Let’s create our desired positive and meaningful destination out of our faith. Let’s live in synchrony with the world around us. Let’s create Synchro Destiny!
