Spiritual Signs and Divine Timing: Embracing Life's Synchronicities
Have you ever felt a nudge from the universe, a whisper that guides your steps or catches you when you stumble? That's the essence of today's Mystical Truths Podcast, where Rebecca and her guest, Mary, share spiritual signs and divine timing, starting with a near-catastrophic tech mishap that almost cost us this episode. Instead of calling it quits, Rebecca knew it was a sign to continue forward. Her conversation with Mary amplifies this theme, as Mary recounts the synchronicity of rediscovering Moses' story during Easter with poignant confirmation that the the other side hears her and agrees.
As we navigate through the murky waters of personal spirituality versus traditional teachings, we are reminded that our beliefs are a tapestry we weave throughout our lives. The stories within the Bible, like Moses' unfulfilled promise, spark curiosity and questioning, leading to vibrant discussions about the role of synchronicity and divine guidance against the backdrop of fear, control, and varying perspectives in religion.
We consider the journeys of many toward a more intimate spiritual connection that defies the confines of organized religion and speaks directly to the soul. Such a connection confirms, through personal experience, that signs from those in spirit are real.
To conclude, we discuss how adopting a peaceful indifference to external opinions paves the way to a life filled with signs and wonders, simply waiting for our recognition. And as a special offering to you, our valued listeners, we tease the upcoming "Tarot Made Easy" course, alongside the resources ready for your discovery at mysticaltruths.com. So come and join us, as we explore the profound, the playful, and the truly mystical realms of spiritual signs and divine timing.

Welcome to the Mystical Truths Podcast.
Speaker 1:This is Rebecca and I'm really glad you're here. Let's unlock your world. For a long time now, one of my favorite sayings has been isn't fun the best thing to have and interestingly it's becoming a thing on this show lately for Source or those in spirit to chime in during and now after a recording, and it's so fun. Prior to the episode you're about to hear, I had a lot going on in my personal life. I even had to reschedule our record date, which was a first but fine. Then the recording date came. Mary and I had a great conversation and then later that evening, as I went to transfer the two track recording to my editing software, it wouldn't work. The test run that we did about four weeks before kept presenting over the current one, which made no sense at all since they're two separate dates, two separate recordings I had recorded in between them on other dates. They had no digital or app connection to each other whatsoever. However, after several attempts to get the test run out of the way, I decided just to delete it, but somehow it deleted both the test run and the episode that we had just recorded. They were both gone Now. Keep in mind I'm not new to this right, but it made no logical sense. I double-checked the recording app, the cloud, the editing software, just to see if maybe, perhaps it transferred over like it should have. But it usually doesn't. Both were gone from all of it. The test run was gone, the episode was gone.
Speaker 1:I started researching how do you undo this and what I found was you don't. Once they're deleted, they're gone. And I thought how could this be Like? Why I don't have time for this? And then I thought of all the don'ts. I thought you know, I don't like this. I don't want to tell my guests that we have to do the whole thing over again. I don't want to take time for that. I don't want any more extra in my already extra month and I don't want a high maintenance podcast. And I thought you know I could be doing other things. And that's when I had the thought step away, stay neutral. This must have some kind of honey in it, although I'll admit, at the moment I didn't want to look for any and I knew it had to be there, but I wasn't in the mood to look for it. That's all right. And at that point I had a conversation with Spirit. I said you know, all right, like I'm not sure what's going on right now, but there are other things that I could be doing. This podcast does take a lot of time. I enjoy it. I'm hoping other people do too. So if this is something that you recommend I keep moving forward with, I want an obvious sign. After all, this particular episode is about signs. So no little sign will do, and no sign to me will mean step away completely. So I'm going to bed. You let me know and I let it go as best I could.
Speaker 1:The next day I did my best to stay neutral. That evening, after checking email and such, I had the thought to log on to the recording app. I thought okay, I'm not really sure why, but all right. And initially it was exactly like it was before. In the app. The test run said one take zero recordings. The cloud for the test run zero recordings. I looked at the episode Same thing. The app said one take zero recordings. The cloud said one take two recordings Hers and mine. I looked at it again and I thought what Wait? I checked this multiple times the day before and it doesn't take a day for a recording to go into the cloud, so it wasn't a timing issue and the test run was still zero and zero. It was completely gone from the app and the cloud. So all were deleted the day before and now now only one was available and it was in the cloud and it had both of our recordings in it.
Speaker 1:So, needless to say, I really appreciated the sign and the divine timing. So I hurried up and I downloaded those two tracks onto my computer and got them over to the editing software and then, while I was editing, I came across several like clicks and skips, like right in the middle of a word, just skips in the track. So I edited most of it out as best I can. You're still going to hear some. There's even a little thing I was saying at one point. That's kind of garbled, but I had to leave it in.
Speaker 1:So I'm thinking, apparently, when spirit is returning a recording from the spiritual cloud, it causes a few hiccups, I don't know. But I'm okay with that and I'm very impressed that a talk about spiritual signs and divine timing resulted in seemingly impossible proof that we are not doing this life alone. And if you're enjoying this podcast, thank those in spirit for participating and green lighting it. So now on with the show. So in this episode I have Mary back with me. You might remember Mary from the episode titled Staying Positive in a Sea of Negative People. So we had a nice time in that discussion and we got talking about spiritual signs and divine timing and how things just sort of work out and how interesting it is. And then Mary had an experience that she shared with me and then we got the more we got to talking I said we should just do an episode on this. So welcome back, mary.
Speaker 2:Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1:You're welcome. So tell us about the first, tell us about the experience you had right around Easter I thought that was really interesting.
Speaker 2:So I was making dinner and I usually have the TV running in the background just for a little bit of noise. I don't watch the news or anything like that, so I look for positive things. And I had on it's called the Story Channel and they were running biographies and the biography was about Moses and I'm half listening and they're talking about everything that happened to him. As I'm sure many people know, he had a very hard life and basically he was betrayed by his brother. His mother had to give him up so he wouldn't be killed when he was a baby and you know, just horrible, just horrible stuff and just horrible, just horrible stuff.
Speaker 2:And I'm thinking at the time, wow, the Bible is full of some really messed up stuff. And I grew up Catholic and I keep thinking things like well, it ends up, moses is freeing the slaves, helping to free the slaves, and can see the promised land, but he dies before he reaches it. And I think, well, god can't be that mean. Like, you know, this is the Bible and it's all up for interpretation and men wrote it. And you know this is the Bible and it's all up for interpretation and men wrote it. And you know I'm thinking all this and you know, at the same time, I have so many thoughts going through my head. I'm making dinner and I'm trying to concentrate on dinner, but I still have all these thoughts and I started thinking about the podcast that we did, thinking, well, did I do the right thing?
Speaker 2:All of a sudden, the lights go out in my house. I'm making this dinner and it's like I have all I have all electric, like my stove is electric and it's a time sensitive thing that I was working on. It was kind of a complicated dinner and I walk away from the stove and I say all right, universe, what are you trying to tell me? Just then, the lights came on Nice, the TV also came back on, and the TV never comes on by itself after a power outage. It's a real finicky TV, but it came right back on and they start talking about Mary Magdalene.
Speaker 1:And I'm thinking well, Mary.
Speaker 2:So I thought it was, I thought it was interesting and I took it as my sign that it was OK to do what I did and and it's kind of my path, kind of like Moses had his path. He was supposed to help free the slaves and Moses, in some ways, like me, he just wanted to live a quiet, peaceful life under the radar, which is what that's what I do. I try to stay under the radar for the most part, so being on a podcast like this is a big deal for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because what you're really saying is is it okay that I talk about these spiritual things and that I'm not so biblical in my approach? Am I right? Right? Yep, absolutely, and that shows you the ease we're being paid attention to. You know, you were really questioning, you were really wondering and pondering like what has been written and what's actually true. You know, like you said, you were raised Catholic, so is it a bad thing to be talking about life in a spiritual way instead of the traditional religious way? I don't think it's going against anything, but you got.
Speaker 2:you got your sign yeah, and I don't believe that there's anything wrong with it either. It's just sometimes it's nice to have reassurance.
Speaker 1:Yeah, especially when you know you're in a world where you feel like you have to hide this. You know that you can have your spiritual thoughts and your sort of religious awakenings and that it'd be okay. Because will you get pressure from other people, like if you went and told everybody you know that you question some of the Bible and you're realizing that there are some spiritual approaches and understandings that really make good sense to you? So if that happens, if you just out yourself, what would that look like? And it's just something that you don't want to do or you haven't wanted to do.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Because it's a personal thing.
Speaker 2:Right, and you know, being raised Catholic, I still know a lot of Catholics and they would think oh my you. You know this is really horrible. And the ones that don't believe in in catholicism or walked away from it would think I'm nuts well, maybe not all of them.
Speaker 1:They may be closeted, like you you know, and I, honestly, I have had nuns come to see me over the years. I've had a few priests come to see me. I've had so so many Catholics, so many Catholics over the years, and a lot of them are recovering Catholics. Not all of them, but really all of them have these same questions, and I had them when I was young too. I wasn't raised Catholic, but I went to Catholic church with my friends. I went to other churches. We were Presbyterian. I went to other churches, we were Presbyterian, and you know I would listen and it just didn't. The basis of it sounded great, but all the other stuff just didn't add up. It just didn't make sense. And the more you start to really weed through it, the more. And then you look at other religions. Right, you start to well, if that's what they believe, and then this is what they believe over there, and then they over there believe something different again.
Speaker 2:They all right well, how, how?
Speaker 1:can they all be wrong? Yeah, they can't all be right, they can't all be wrong. Maybe they are all wrong, but they still have that foundation that seems to be common ground. But it's what people have done with it since then, or, or you know, out of that that has become a whole mishmash of control and fear and a lot of stuff. That's very uncomfortable and, you know, I remember people saying you know this, some of the things that they learned very young in their churches terrified them. I mean, who wouldn't? I mean, I remember when I was young learning about, you know, devil and hell and all that, and I thought, oh, that is like that can freak you out. And I thought, is that really what's going on here? Because it just it. Honestly, even as a a kid, it did not make sense, and that's that inner truth radar. So, even though it didn't make sense to me, I still thought, well, yeah, but what if I'm wrong?
Speaker 1:that's actually true you know, how do you, how do you live on this planet and not go to hell?
Speaker 1:then how right because you're gonna do something, and and I don't believe that we can do some things that people call bad, and then just tell somebody and do a couple things and then okay, now we're off the hook. You know, that didn't make sense either, and it didn't make sense to me that there was a god who would hurt people or would damn people or was less powerful than a devil thing. Right, it did not have. It made any sense, and so the more I question, the more I, you know, and that's why I say to people just pay attention to how it feels at your core, because everything I've studied and learned spiritually, then I'm only talking about myself, because there are some spiritual things out there that'll freak people out too, because people have twisted things in this place too, but the things that have made sense to me have all been about love, have all been about all the good stuff that we want to talk about. Sure, I mean, we live in this world of contrast. There are hard times, but I've come to understand that there's good stuff in the hard times too. They don't have to be as hard as we make them, and that's what I think we're going through now is more and more people are going.
Speaker 1:Well, hold on, hold on, wait a minute. I want to feel good. I don't want to feel powerless either. Right are fear-based and are control-based. Now, does that mean we have to be afraid of any of it or take it off the planet? No, everything has its purpose here. It's here for whoever it's here for. So if Catholicism or whatever else makes sense to somebody, it feels good to them, then it's a match for them. Where they're at right now in their evolution, that's a beautiful thing. For them. Where they're at right now in their evolution, that's a beautiful thing. But there are more and more people, more and more souls, I should say, coming in on the tails of all of us who've been saying what Hold on now. And so as we expand and this is true with everything, not just spiritual beliefs, but as we expand the ones that come in after us are coming in at that level, just like kids are coming in tech savvy now.
Speaker 1:You know they're tech ready. There are souls coming in now going wait. We're not going to believe that. We're not going to believe that you can't just tell us that there's, like this, hell and a devil, and if you don't do what you say, then we're doomed for eternity, or something like that.
Speaker 1:Right you know, and so I started at a young age. You might have. You know, I think a lot of people today, the younger people that are coming in, are starting very young with, and that's why I think we see a drop in attendance at churches. It's not because there's bad things happening and the devil's getting control over it, it's not. It's not that it's not because there's bad things happening and the devil's getting control over it. It's not that. It's just that there's more recognition of love and the allowance of that. The more we turn over here, the old ones die off, the new ones come in. The old ones die off, the new ones come in. It gets better and better.
Speaker 2:Right, we're expanding.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're expanding. There are things about the history of the people on this planet that are brutal. There still is today. We live in a world of contrast, but where are we going with it? Where are we taking it from here? We're getting better and better. I mean, we're not dragging each other around by the hair anymore. We may have never done that. It may be something people think was that, but we're not dragging each other around by the hair anymore. We may have never done that. It may be something people think was that, but we're not. You know clubbing each other, and you know, at a poker game, we just shoot somebody and go on with the poker game. Right, you know we are getting better. You know we talk openly about abuse and things like that now, so we're definitely making motion in the right direction.
Speaker 2:I mean that. I mean that is relatively new to me. I mean I don't remember as a kid people being so open about abuse or you know anything like like it is now. It's completely different.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I totally agree, because when I was young, there was some stuff in my family and with me personally and you knew not to talk about it. Nobody had to tell you. You just knew not to talk about it and not to tell anybody about it. And so when people like Oprah came along I think Phil Donahue was another one, probably it was very open. You know, things like that just started creeping in because more of us were coming in saying this we can't keep doing it like this, it's too we're, we're moving past this. Just as an example, men don't have sex with the children because the woman, the wife, doesn't want to have sex anymore, or whatever the case may be. So they started having it with the girls or the, the whatever's. Um, we, you know, I'm sure some of that still goes on.
Speaker 1:Of course, it does but we're getting a lot better at it. So it's nice to see the expansion, but you know, back to signs, you know so divine timing too, because not only are you seeing those signs, but in perfect timing Right, that's what's so awesome about it. You know that the timing is impeccable and you know it's funny, because go ahead and talk about the, the pictures that you sent me, because there's something I want to add that happened today, that sort of ties in with those. So go ahead and tell us about those.
Speaker 2:The first picture was of two morning doves that I sent you. And now where I live, I mean we hear birds, we see them fly by, but they do not approach our deck or anything like that. We're not allowed to feed them because I live in an HOA and they're just you'll get fined or whatever. So we don't feed the birds, and so they don't. They don't hang out at my old place they used to hang out all the time cause I was always feeding them. So well, I have to backtrack a little bit. The night before, um, my son had called me late in the evening and was asking about a movie that we were watching when we would watch when he was a kid, and I thought it was kind of weird or whatever. Well, he had been having some issues health issues relationship issues.
Speaker 2:And the thought occurred to me relationship issues. And the thought occurred to me well, they got back together. And then I just put it out of my head. Well then the next morning my husband was standing at the patio door and he looks out and he says, come here, look, there's two birds out here. And I, I look and they're just, they're hanging out on the deck, railing like nothing. My cat's sitting there staring at them and it's two morning doves. And I thought, wow, this is really cool. You know, this doesn't happen, this never happens here. And later on in the day I got the call Well, we're back together. So I, I took that, as you know, that that sign that morning, yeah, was you know the universe letting me know that he's he's happy and back together.
Speaker 1:So yeah, because you had the intuition. Yeah, you just sort of had that thought, which oftentimes is inspired by the other side, and then there's your backup. Yeah, like it's just because it's fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's why this happens because it's fun. So what was the other picture?
Speaker 2:The other one. So my husband and I, we love Chinese food. We're always, you know, going out for Chinese or picking it up or whatever. Well, a couple of weeks beforehand we had takeout Chinese, brought it home. We get our fortune cookies. I'm always excited for my fortune cookie. I open it up and there's no fortune in it. So I'm like oh, bummer.
Speaker 2:So a couple of weeks later, we go out to dinner it was our date night, or whatever and at dinner we go out to dinner it was our date night, or whatever. And the dinner we're talking about work. We were both talking about work and complaining and I caught myself in the middle of it thinking, okay, this isn't, I'm out here to enjoy myself. Why am I talking about work? So we're wrapping up our meal and I had a drink and looked at the bottom of it. There's a fly in the bottom of my drink. I'm like, okay, so we get our fortune cookie and no fortune. So after we're done eating, we ran to do an errand and I look, we go into the store, look down on the floor and there is a fortune cookie message laying on the floor.
Speaker 1:So this wasn't even in the store? No, it wasn't in the restaurant.
Speaker 2:It was in a totally different place. Wait, and I'm trying to find it real quick because off the top of my head okay, here it is. It says there will be plenty of my head. Okay, here it is. It says there will be plenty of time to work hard, Enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1:Amen. So you were just talking about and complaining, like you said. You guys were kind of complaining about work. Yes, which is why the fly showed up in your drink and you know no fortunes. But nothing's lost because you you still have a way to like attract, because you know you can't attract these signs in perfect timing, yeah, and then there's a random fortune right and it's.
Speaker 2:It's such a like dumb little thing, but it means a lot to me, like if I, if I were to tell somebody else that they would think, oh well, you're reaching. But I just, I think it's cool and I think it's fun.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, because that's really great stuff. You were having a conversation about work and not being playful and you find this fortune, not even at the restaurant that tells you there's plenty of time to just have fun, like, just take it easy.
Speaker 2:basically was the message right.
Speaker 1:Just work is not as important as you want it to be, and if you make it out to be negatively important, then it continues to be that way. So that was perfect timing for just. And this is what the other side is so good at is these little hints, because they don't tell us what to do, right? But they do give us little hints Like think about this, what about this? You know, consider this. Because we have free will, we get to do this any way we want to do it. And you're right, you could have taken that fortune and just tossed it and thought whatever, yeah, it was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was randomly laying on the ground and I just happened to look down. It was right there.
Speaker 1:And that's why you get these signs, because you know it when you see it. Therefore, you're not missing. Everybody's getting these. It's just that most people are missing them, right. Missing everybody's getting these. It's just that most people are missing them, right. They're looking that way when the sign is that the other way. So it's not that the other side is favoring you or me or anybody else. It's always there.
Speaker 1:It's available for everybody just paying attention yeah, and it just has become such common ground for me that like I'll have experiences like that but and I might even say something to somebody, but then I kind of forget about it. It's just, I enjoy it, it's fun in the moment, but I don't remember them all. There are a lot. That's one reason, but another reason because they're not like oh wow moments for the most part, because they're they're just every day, which I still appreciate. It doesn't mean it's become boring at all. It's funny because just recently I was looking online for a couple days here and there I went online looking for this particular air conditioning unit and I hadn't found anything. Everything was crazy priced, and so one evening I just wasn't even really thinking about it, but I just stopped for a minute and I was sitting at my desk and I put my elbows on the desk and rested my head and I just closed my eyes and like within a couple of minutes I had this sort of urge to go on the computer and look for something totally different, that I wanted, a little item that was hadn't been thinking about it lately, so I went on there and found it and then found the air conditioner unit at a really great price that I was looking for. So you see how it was like there. The inspiration wasn't like okay, here's where the AC unit is that you're looking for. It had a really good deal. Instead, the inspiration was here, take this breadcrumb, and now there's your other breadcrumb, there's the AC unit. So it's not even sometimes like a direct line, and that's why when you get inspirations, just follow them.
Speaker 1:You know, I was doing a meditation one time and I had just emailed this company and said you know you made a mistake. You should have credited me this. I was sure that they were wrong and I was sure that I was right and I just did this really light meditation and all of a sudden, in the middle of the meditation, I thought, oh no, it wasn't them, it was this other company. I had so much going on at the time and things, packages being delivered or whatever that I was. I was totally wrong and I knew it for sure.
Speaker 1:So I hurried up and I emailed them back. I'm like I am so sorry, it is not you, it was another company, you know. So that was. It was beautiful, because it was all in really short timing and I got corrected Now. Had I not received that inspiration, I probably would have gone back and forth with them for a little bit until I finally figured out. So we didn't need to go through all that mess. All I had to do is quickly email them back and say oh sorry, you're off the hook, I was wrong.
Speaker 2:And that's the path of least resistance.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's exactly it. And you know, I think I mentioned recently the bumblebee experience in an episode that I had with a client here and there was a bumblebee in my kitchen. I'm just talking and all of a sudden something catches my attention above her head and back into my kitchen. And I was just talking to her about finding the honey, because she's going through a breakup, and so we're talking about finding the honey and I said to her there's a bumblebee in my kitchen. And she turned around and she said and you were just talking about honey. And so I thought this is just so fun. Like it's not.
Speaker 1:I didn't have any windows open, it wasn't time yet for them to be out, and I walked out to the kitchen and by this time it's hovering up to the ceiling and I looked up and I said hey, like, hi, thank you. Like, this is just so fun. And I said follow me, I'm going to. I went over to the sink and opened the window and the screen and I said I'm going to go back in that room and shut the door because I didn't want my client to think a bee was going to come up behind her. I said I'm just going to shut this door. I said you can stay or you can go. But thank you, really thank you so much for that, for being here, because that was just perfect timing.
Speaker 1:I hear you all, I know you're all paying attention and just you know, and I have so many bee because I talk about honey all the time, I have so many honey and bee experiences, it's just laughable. And so there was even one day after that I was on my front porch and this I was watering a plant and this, this fuzzy, and another thing you know, with the one I saw in my kitchen, it was just it came close enough to me before, like when we got to the window, that I could see, like I almost felt, like I could touch its fur or whatever that is, and I read later that you can actually touch them and they don't get agitated, like you can pet them, because I saw this thing about different types of bees and I thought, oh, maybe I should try to pet some bees.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I'm on my porch and just watered this plant and I turned around and there's this big bumblebee right in front of my vision. It was probably about six or seven inches away from my face and just hovered there. Oh wow, and I looked at it and it looked at me and I said hi, and we just had this beautiful moment. And then it went up and over my head and off it went.
Speaker 1:So today I was just looking over a few things, so I'd be prepared for our talk tonight, and I went out to the front porch. I was going to water I have a plant right now I only have two plants, I'm just haven't gotten all my summer plants yet Went out to the front porch to water one and there was this honeybee not a bumblebee and there was this honeybee not a bumblebee but a honeybee that came right up like my chest area and just hovered there, just hovered there, and I thought this is just so fun and so I said hi to it and everything, and then away it goes, the other plant I have out back. So I came out through my office to the back and just as I opened the door to come out, this dove had been sitting on the ground, by the way went flying away and I thought, well, there's a dove. And I was just thinking about the dove because I was looking at the, you know the little notes for tonight.
Speaker 1:And I thought it's just. It seems random because I do feed the birds, so I do get doves around here, but one dove just right there in that moment, just when I happened to open the door. It's just beautiful timing. I think if people just give this credit more often, they'll not only have more of these experiences, but they'll feel the union of all of us in this together. Because, I mean, was the dove like a spirit that came in? No, they influenced the dove.
Speaker 1:The synchronistic motion of life just brings the bee to your face or into your kitchen, you know when it's just a fun, because they're willing, right, they're willing to participate and have fun. So I just I really got a kick out of that because it was just so. But and the funny thing was, I wasn't even thinking about watering the plants. I was, you know, here looking at notes and doing things like that and I thought, oh, I haven't watered the plants yet and I got up and went and did those two things and had those two experiences. So the timing and all that, you could see how well tied together all of that was.
Speaker 1:Why did I get the inspiration right then? Why was there a honeybee? Of course there are other bees around but not right in front of me, like coming right up in front of my chest and just staying there. And I didn't. I wasn't afraid of it, so it didn't have any reason to fly away. And with honeybees I think it's honeybe I wasn't afraid of it, so it didn't have any reason to fly away, and I. And then with honeybees I think it's honeybees, no, maybe it's yeah.
Speaker 1:Honeybees. I think you can agitate them, but I think it's wasps.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wasps are scary, yeah, yeah, you can really tick them off, I guess. But you know, and with the dove out back, I thought, no, that's just cute, because I was just so it's. I love the timing of this and you know, like I said, if we can just be playful about it, don't try to make it happen. Give it credit when you do see it. Then you'll not only have the experiences more often, but you'll feel the connection. You'll feel it won't be so airy fairy to say to a bumblebee hey hi, thanks a lot, like, thanks for the like, thanks for being here. Like that was just perfect timing. It won't seem so weird to do that, because you really get it at that point. Like even the insects were all in this together and everything is so well synchronized that we can have a lot of fun if we want to, you know.
Speaker 1:And two, like there was a time, just like this past, the end of this past winter, when my son-in-law came home from work one day and he went into their house and he realized it was cold and so he went, checked the furnace and it was not working. So he calls his wife, who was with me, and her kids or their kids, and they're going oh no, this can't, we can't do this right now, we can't get a new furnace right now. Oh, you know, and I said I just hope just hold on. You don't even know really what's going on yet. So he called a family member who knows stuff like that, walked him through it. An hour later $20 for a part. They had heat again.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:And I said to both of them I said now, do you see what I mean? You don't look at the fact that you know. Oh, I had to stop and do this because he wasn't planning on doing anything like that. When he got home from work he had other things on his mind and I said so. It took an hour, it happened on a warmer day, it wasn't snowing, it wasn't really really cold, it was still winter, but it was.
Speaker 1:You could survive without heat if you had to. It was a Friday, right, it wasn't like a work night and you had the whole weekend. If you had to deal with it as the kids weren't home, it cost $20 to fix it. You had heat in an hour. You had access to somebody right away, instantly who could walk you through it and help you with this for free. And he got educated on more furnace stuff while they were doing that, because life happens.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know furnaces stop working sometimes and you know things go screwy as far as we're concerned, but nothing's really ever screwy, and when we just realize that things don't have to be tragic like there had, there was a time in the past where they lost heat, where it wasn't so convenient, and I think they're picking up on this enough now that their timing is getting better. Right, that ease of look hey, hey, it's Friday, you have plenty of time to deal with this. You have somebody who can help you through it, and so that's why the ease comes in then. And that's what I mean by looking for the honey, because their knee jerk reaction was reaction was oh crap, yeah, this isn't going to be good. It's still winter technically, so we have to have heat and we just don't want it. This is not a good time for that expense, right? So even if we have that knee-jerk reaction and we go negative into something, you can always put the brakes on and say to yourself wait a minute where's the honey?
Speaker 1:Where's the good stuff here? Could this really work out for me? Does it seem bad, and will it continue to be bad if I don't clean this up real quick in myself, because we can take something that's not really that bad and turn it into something a whole lot worse just because we grind away at it, you know you would have kept thinking I'm screwed, we're screwed, this isn't going to be good.
Speaker 1:It would have been a 20 part and something else with it that was more expensive or more time consuming or something right, you know. So it's. The signs are sometimes very in your face and sometimes they're so subtle that they're a lot of times they're very subtle that they're easy for most people to miss, and I'm sure you and I still miss some. Oh, I'm sure I do. There are signs and there are definitely times where I get the hit and I override it and then I know right away you got the hit, you didn't follow it. That's on you and I'm not blaming myself and beating myself up'm just saying that's how we learn. That's how we learn.
Speaker 1:There was a time where I was, my kids were away and I was gonna just watch a movie by myself, get all cozied up in the living room and enjoy my time, and as I'm leaving the kitchen, I got the hit to pick up my phone and take it with me. And I did not. And I got all cozied in, got the movie started and the phone rang and since my kids weren't home, I thought I'd have to answer that phone. And that's another. You just got. That's on me. You told me to get the phone. You gave me the sign, the little inspiration to get the phone, and I didn't. So is it a big deal? No, but do you see how like it's? It's there to make your life more smooth, more easy, all the time.
Speaker 2:I had one today. I work from home and I have an hour for lunch and I had planned on running out for lunch to the grocery store because there were a few things that I needed, but I really did not feel like going. For whatever reason, I just didn't want to do it, but I forced myself to go. I had a list in front of me. I still forgot like a major item on the list and I I'm convinced it's because it. It wasn't my time to go to the store. I should have waited until either after the podcast tonight or tomorrow. Even it might've been a better outcome, but it was just. It was one of those things where a lot, of, a lot of roadblocks on my way there, like I hit every light, lots of traffic, that sort of thing, because that's just. That was where I was at at that time. I think if I had waited it would have been better. Yeah, and you know when you find yourself in that it would have been better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know, when you find yourself in that, it's because we are we're getting too, I don't know, doing it ourselves. We're in the mode of doing it ourselves and trying to get everything done and fit things in or whatever, and so, but when you find yourself in that sort of experience where you're thinking, okay, this is getting messy, I probably should have done this in different timing, you can autocorrect by saying to yourself, okay, maybe I missed a hit, maybe I got a sign and I didn't take it. But here I am right now. How do I want it to go from here? Right, I want this to be easy, like if I forget a shopping list and I'm all about lists I have lists you think you know, being intuitive, you wouldn't need lists.
Speaker 1:It's just something I do.
Speaker 2:I do.
Speaker 1:So, but if I but I don't worry about it, though, because if I get to a store and I think, oh, I don't have my list or I don't have my phone, I do that too. I'll leave without my phone and I think, oh, you know what, I spent like a good part of my life without a cell phone and I was just okay. I was okay, I'll be fine.
Speaker 1:And then I'll think to myself I don't have that list, but all of creation knows what's on the list, you know, and then I end usually end up finding things I forgot to put on the list too.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we can get easy about it and go okay, yep, I'm, I'm running into some roadblocks here. I'm running into some friction. I'm just going to cool my jets and hit the reset button. Everything's easy from here on out.
Speaker 1:You know, this can be better, because we do have the option to keep sort of driving off the side of the road or steering ourselves back onto the road. You know, we can keep thinking, oh man, this isn't going to be good. Why do I do this? This is not working out for me. Now I'm going to be late. We can keep doing that and we'll prove that right. But there's another version that's available too. There are multiple versions available.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:So we can say, all right, all right, yep, I was going off track, I was totally going off the side of the road there. But I'm good, this, this, I'm hitting that reset button. And then you start getting your signs again. And then you, you just learn to laugh at yourself. When you got, when you realize after the sign that you got the sign, you know like you got it and you sort of overwrote it or whatever yes didn't regard it.
Speaker 1:And then then you know like oh, that's right, I did, I should have. Oh, you learn to laugh at that and say it doesn't matter, it's okay, because everything still works out. There's always another sign, there's always another ease available. It's nice to share stories like this because it helps us all relate and realize that it does happen to us. It's not just other people that get signs or that recognize divine timing. Divine timing is always happening. But can we have even better timing? Yeah, because like divine timing of yeah, maybe I should have gone later, but here I am now and I don't have my list, that's still divine timing, but it's divine timing according to where you're at right now. It's like the universe can only work with where you're at right now. It's like the universe can only work with where you're at right now. And if you're all balled up, there's going to be divine timing in there and you'll probably. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Miss it.
Speaker 1:Or something will happen. You know what I mean. This is when we hit the pothole and our car goes out of alignment, right, you know, could it have? Could we have gone, have gone around, could we have gone a different route? Yeah, but we're so balled up that divine timing is now synchronizing in like the left lane. For anybody that knows my left lane, right lane analogy, you know, the divine timing is synchronizing up in the lane, with the potholes and the roadkill and all the stuff you don't want exactly, perfectly timed. People say, well, what are the chances, right, that I wouldn't have seen that and the roadkill and all the stuff you don't want Exactly, perfectly timed? People say, well, what are the chances, right, that I wouldn't have seen that pothole and hit it that hard? Or what are the chances?
Speaker 1:that, that car would have pulled out right into my bumper. Well, the chances were in divine timing, and it's not a bad thing. It's good information and if you pay attention, you might meet the love of your life at that little accident. Or you might have an inspiration for something totally unrelated because of that incident. That pays off later Right. Even though we might have synced up in divine timing to the unwanted, there's still honey in it. You can't get away from the sweetness of life.
Speaker 1:it's in everything, even the stuff that we want to call bad or traumatic or right crazy yeah, and I mean I I tend to go back and I think, okay, well, this didn't work out now, but maybe something better is going to happen later, and you know and really that's an even more correct way to say that it's just because this didn't work out the way I thought it would or the way I wanted it to, Doesn't mean that it wasn't divine timing and doesn't mean that I can't get a better version. Right, you know? Because we we oftentimes have our mind made up about the way something should work out.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Because we oftentimes have our mind made up about the way something should work out, and when it doesn't, we think something's gone wrong, instead of just saying, well, okay, that's not the way I thought it was going to go, but how's this working out for me? How is this working out for me? Because everything is so. This is too, and that's why this is so fun to know, because it's so freeing, you know, and it's not like with me knowing this and teaching this, it's not like my life doesn't suck. Sometimes I live in this world of contrast. I get ticked off sometimes, you know, not for long.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:I run into stressors, I run into drama. You know I have a family. Everybody that has a family has some kind of drama somewhere Right.
Speaker 1:So you know, there's stuff, there's stuff and it's OK. And that's why I always say just because I know, this does not mean I like live a perfect life that you know people should aspire to. I live a human life, and that's the point I'm trying to make. Is that perfect means perfectly imperfect. It means unfolding, evolving, going through the motions here and just seeing how you do with it and not being too hard on yourself for any reason.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that was a hard one for me because I have a tendency to be too hard on myself, and a lot of people do. I still watch myself with that. I'm a lot better at it than I was, you know, for the better part of my life. It's just got better and better and better and better over time, but it's still something that I'm aware of. It's not?
Speaker 1:got better and better and better and better over time, but it's still something that I'm aware of. It's not something I worry about, it's not something that I have to manage or battle or anything like that.
Speaker 1:It's just something I'm aware of. I know that I have a tendency to be hard on myself and I know that I most likely will do it again. But I also know that I can catch myself and then undo it and then I can laugh at it, because then I can say, okay, that's just me being human, whatever. Yeah, right, it's all right. This has been a lot of fun and I know that this has got to be helpful for anybody that's thinking where are my signs? Or I don't see divine timing.
Speaker 2:They're there.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Or even like I see signs, but is that really what they are? Or back to the beginning of our conversation. Like you said, is this okay? Like am I upsetting God in any way? Or am I upsetting? First of all, I wouldn't really care too much about what other people think, Because when you do that, now your button's out there to be pushed Right, If you realize. Okay, everybody has their opinions, Everybody's come to their own conclusions. They may or may not match mine. I'm not saying there's a wrong, but I know mine feel right to me and that's all that I really need to be giving my attention to and then follow what feels good to you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I think that's one of one of my bigger problems is and I'm definitely a lot better than I used to be is worrying what other people are going to think.
Speaker 1:That's one I had to get over too, yeah, and it's still one I have to be aware of. You know, like I don't have to manage it, I'm not fighting it, but it is something to be aware of. Like, okay, I could, and don't own it, like I have the tendency to be hard on myself or I have the tendency to care too much about it. Don't own it anymore. Just say to yourself I may be too sensitive at some point. I may take myself seriously, or I may take life seriously. I may be hard on myself. I may not be ever again. I'm just paying attention.
Speaker 1:So you see the difference in that, because anytime we own something like, we label ourselves. That's why I don't like diagnoses and any kind of labels that people put on themselves, like when people say like I suffer from depression, well, good luck with that. People say like I suffer from depression, well, good luck with that. And not to be sarcastic, but really honestly, good luck with that, because that's going to be rough If you, if you feel you suffer from depression or I'm an addict, well, there you are. Then.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But if you say to yourself, I have, I've taken drugs and I might, I might take them again, I don't know. I just know right now I'm not. Or I know right now I'm stoned, I'm completely stoned right now. Here I am, this is where I'm at and I'm not going to fight it, because when I fight it I draw it in more Right. When we make our peace with who we are, where we're at, what we're doing, and love ourselves the way Source loves us, no matter what we're up to, even if we're being mean to somebody, when we can love ourselves and other people from that vantage point, life gets so much easier. You know, you learn not to be hard on yourself. You learn that nobody's judging you. That's another thing religions have taught. Right, you're being judged. Yeah, well, okay. So now we're under a microscope. Whether we're asleep or awake or having sex or, you know, shopping or whatever it is we're doing, we're under a microscope.
Speaker 1:It with that thought, that's hard. Yeah, I mean, if you think that being human is being full of sin and sin is just ignorance, that's all it is. You just don't know. So if we think that we're born with bad stuff and that we're going to do bad stuff, but we have to try not to. We have to try not to Don't do it. Don't do it. But you know it's in you, but don't do it. Well, that's impossible, right, right, that doesn't even make any sense, you know, it's like somebody saying you're heterosexual, right, yes, yes, do you? If you don't mind me asking you don't have to answer. So if I said to you okay, well, mary, you know what it's really important that you be gay, like it's, you just have to be, because that's what everybody says and there's a book that says that. So you have to be gay now. Could you do that? No, right, it's just, it's not in you. Just like, if I say to somebody who's gay well, sorry, you know what. You have to turn that, switch off.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Turn your straight switch on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it doesn't work like that, no.
Speaker 1:Right. And so I think when we recognize that you know we are, we're not controlled, we don't have to be away because somebody else says we have to be that way, you know, then we're full of more ease. We see our signs, we see our divine timing. Life gets easier Now.
Speaker 1:You're not around people who are going to push your buttons because your buttons aren't out there to be pushed, right, and that's why you can see some people who are living a certain lifestyle and are getting a lot of backlash about it, and you can see other people that are living that same lifestyle very happily. They're just having a good time. Same thing. It's just they're not attracting the people that make fun of it or don't like it or condemn it because they've made some kind of peace with it, or they just don't care what other people think. Right, you know, when we can find that ease, that's where the signs are, that's where the recognition of divine timing is, because otherwise we are confused or flustered or caught up or whatever, and you're just not going to see them as much, you're not going to get the sweetest ones. Then Right, for the most part right, there's always a crack of least resistance somewhere with everybody from time to time.
Speaker 1:But you know, once you find your ease with things generally across the board, then you're just. You can't help but be more available. Just you can't help but be more available to that light energy that is playful and brings the doves and the bees and the moses thing and the lights on lights off.
Speaker 1:You know it's just it's fun it is it is. Thank you for joining me again and talking about such a fun topic. Well, thank you for having me. Absolutely. I really appreciate it.
