Signs

Have you seen the movie 'Bruce Almighty"? In that there is a scene with Jim Carrey where he asks God to give him a sign and he looks up at the billboard and there is a huge sign that says YES. Some would argue that that is a Hollywood special effect but that is the reality.

We humans are conditioned only to believe what we can see and prove. However only when we open ourselves and be conscious to the truth that we truly see what we cannot see. Does that make sense?

For example, I have to send an email response to someone. As I think about that response, in my head I have worded the email and how I am going to say it. I was upset and did not want to be taken for granted and I was going to be blunt about it.

I am all ready to sit in front of the computer and write the email and I notice for the oddest reason that my computer screen is blacked out. The computer is running but I cannot get the screen to come up. I push different buttons, unplug, restart - still nothing. I sit back and think about it. What is it that I wanted to do that the Universe is telling me that I should not do?

That is when I realize that it is the email I was thinking about. The way I was planning to word it was not the best way to go about it. So I said to myself loudly - it has to be the email. I will not write it like that. Then I do the same things as I did before, press different buttons, unplug, restart and this time the computer came back to life as if there was nothing wrong.

Now, if that is not a sign, I don't know what is. It has taken a lot of time before I got to this point where I recognize a sign and I acknowledge it. It is also a scary process since you are trusting the universe to take care of you. At the same time it is a liberating and exciting process because it is like an adventure and whatever happens is always for the best.

If I see anymore signs I will let you know.

I understand totally. Have seen so many signs, ignored some, followed some and results have been good and bad.

I guess the signs will keep coming back until you do something about it. It is a question of how you choose to handle it.
