How many times have you seen something and thought, “that was weird” or asked someone “did you see that”. It has happened to all of us and some of them may have been a Sign.
I today's world we no longer pay attention to the natural world and out of place things (if we can even recognize them) are given only a moment's thought.
The beginning of the end of spirituality started in the Sixty's' as science and humanism started to take the place in more people's life's, that was previously filed by religion. It's an easier path to believe in nothing, as opposed to having to live up to something.
I realize that in the sixty's drug cultures they thought they were having spiritual experiences as the fried their brains on LSD. But there is a big difference in being out of your mind and opening your mind. To embrace all the possibilities that is out there waiting to be rediscovered, that has been lost to us by the passing of time and religious purification.
After we went to the moon (yes we really did go) I remember people saying “there is no God, we went to heaven and God wasn't there” now statements like that should make you wonder about the sanity of the Baby Boomer generation. That are now running most of the world, with what few neurons that are still connected in their brains after the sixty's drug culture.
I am a member of that generation and have always said “if the world survives my generation there maybe some hope for mankind”. If you don't believe me look at the governments of the world, all ran by old men and women in their sixties and seventies looking for Heaven on earth. That's because they lost all their spirituality, they believe they have no place to go when they die, and their running out of time.
Thank you, for allowing me to express my disdain of my generation, a generation that I believe has separated so many people from their God and spirituality it's self. What greater crime is there than stealing the souls of generations?
I don't feel much different about organized religion, because anytime one can control the many most of the time no good comes from it. Remember the Catholic Church of the dark ages and the Protestant Church of the sixteenth century. They were ran be men to control the masses not to teach the word of God, and their word was law, we can never let that happen again, just as we can't let a secular group dominate us. We must be free to walk whatever path we chose.
Now back to the subject; I have told you before I do tend to wonder off at times, this time I may have galloped a bit but I'm back now. But it’s really not my fault, if you hadn't brought up religious and spiritual freedom and how it's been under attack for the last forty years. I wouldn't have lost my cool and ran my head like I did. With your permission I will continue on with our discussion about Signs.
A sign is rarely a supernatural experience; like an angle or whatever appearing with flaming sword to block your way, from certain doom.
That would be nice but my advice is you shouldn't expect it. Those types of occurrences have been documented in the Bible and other ancient scrip but they only occur every five hundred to a thousand years, and they generally pertain to the saving of a nation. So unless you're with CIA I would be looking for the more subtle approach.
A sign is normally a natural occurrence in an unnatural setting. I live in north Texas to see Robins in winter or spring is normal, but to see one in July is odd. That in itself doesn't make it a sign, just very unusual.
Unusual things like this happen all the time, so all odd things or not necessarily a Sign for you, though it could be for someone else, and you are just a witness. Or it's a robin that likes one hundred degree weather. I guess that could happen, maybe, though it's not likely.
A Sign is when you see something natural in an unnatural setting that touches you on some level. The harder the touch the more important the message, your power will tell you what to do. Don't let logic rule you, do what the power says. It doesn't have to make sense, and most of the time it doesn't and the message is for you and you alone. You may save or help others by saving or helping yourself but to the power that means nothing. The message was sent to you.
Let me tell you of a Sign that was sent to me a day or two after Christmas two years ago. I needed some supplies and all the metaphysical shops I usually visited had closed shop. But a friend had told me of another one that had just opened on the south side of Dallas. She gave me general directions for she had never been there herself.
Being familiar with that part of town. I felt confident I would have no problem finding it. So my wife and I set off to find the shop, it started off well but went downhill quickly. We couldn't find the shop in the area she told me, so we widened our search, but found nothing.
The longer we searched the more questionable it became as to where we should look next. I wanted to go back over the area we had already looked and she wanted to widen the search. She never called me an A--H---she's a lady but after forty eight years together you know what they are thinking'
As we were driving down a side street with homes on both sides and cars parallel parked randomly on either side of the street. A young boy caught my eye as he ran from a parked car to the house the car was parked in front of, and then a balloon came from under the car and floated across the road. It floated about four feet high and disappeared on the other side of the street. My first thought was it's a left over balloon from a Christmas party the boy was after, but the balloon was black. It gave me a sick feeling; every part of me was telling me something wasn't right.
The more we drove around the area the stronger the feeling, so I told my wife to go home now, we have to leave. She looked at me a second, then turned toward home.
After we were on the interstate headed home she asked me what was wrong. I told her what I had seen and how it made me feel. That's when she told me she didn't see any of what I saw and she was driving.
We have been together most of our lives and she is a good Christian lady, but when I say something with passion that makes little or no since she never asks why, she follows my directions. She knows I would never do anything to hurt her, she trusts me to take care of the thing she knows are there but would prefer not to deal with.
I still don't know what was wrong, whether the danger was at the shop, or on the way to the shop. I can tell you the whole area felt dangerous to me; I didn't feel normal until we were on the interstate headed home. The further away we were the better I felt, and I haven't been back.
Not all signs are warnings of bad things coming your way; some of mine lead me to a greater understanding of the power. Sometimes they lead me to things I wouldn't have found on my own.
If you pay attention to what you see and what you feel the power will not fail you, you don't have to be a practitioner of the Art. If something unusual causes you more than a passing thought don't dismiss it, follow your gut feelings. Guts are smarter than their given credit
