A Typical Day ~ the synchronicity of it all ~

Having decided on my fiftieth birthday that I had concluded my shamanic “self-training”… I then committed myself to becoming as real, unpretentious and authentic as possible in my eccentric ways. I quit dying my hair and embraced the “silver” that I had so staunchly kept hidden away from the world, and myself, as evidence that age was creeping up on me, and I quit caring and wasting the time and money on the continued efforts to hid the inevitable, in attempts to conceal my own vanity and oh, what a relief it was. I came to find that the very image I had coveted of myself as an elder, with an interesting streak of “silver” to frame my face, had indeed become the case and this became my ultimate surprise and delight… as it was exactly what I had wished for when the time came that I was to become “silver” in the first place. Wish fulfilled! I came to find that not only was the continued efforts and attention to this task no longer a concern or constant worry, but I quickly began to see that I was now ranking a great deal of more respect from others when previously it had not existed. The trade off was absolutely worth it and my perceived “need” to maintain the illusion of my fading youthful days, was shed like the weight of a heavy overcoat…. and I was freed. This was one painstaking task that I no longer needed to continually deal with, and my life was greatly lighter for it, finding that the light was not just found within the newly revealed “silver” in my hair. It was now being felt within the newly discovered “lightness of being” I had so vehemently pursued for the past thirty years of my life. And here it was, within the simplicity of letting go of a little of my own now seemingly ridiculous vanity perpetuated by our dysfunctional societal ideals. They were not my ideals any longer and as my life as a shaman had become more important and genuine, so had my inner need to get “real” and drop the feigned efforts at pretense. Oh, what a relief that was!!! And as my own illusion of what I perceived from others and their general opinions of me shattered, so did the need to maintain it, and I could now begin to release other unnecessary things in my life that I had fostered and maintained under the illusion of my own “control”. The illusion was that I had control at all. I quickly began to see, that I did not… and neither did anyone else when it got right down to the truth of it all.

This was just the beginning and it was not long after, upon intentional focused attention to the daily details of my life that I began to notice that nearly everything I thought, did and said was being reflected in amazing and awe-inspiring synchronicity. The more I noticed, the more things became co-incidental. I now could see that there was no such thing as a mere “coincidence”, that everything whether or not we noticed, was aligned with purposeful action, and being guided amazingly by some higher greater unseen force. This was nothing short of merely stunning and delightful, and would increasingly become more so the more I consciously began to notice and fine tune my attention to my own life and those who swirled around me at any given time and place. This became my ultimate joy and happiness, as I quickly began to see that the cosmos was indeed supporting me in more ways than I had ever believed possible. Taking a long hard, excruciating look at the entirety of my lifetime so far, there was no way that all the things I had done and experienced and how they all fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle could have happened without the hand of a higher intelligent force. Thus, there became my absolute conviction to the truth that the Great Spirit, Mother/Father God if you will, was with me at all times, and walking with me, guiding me every moment of every day of my existence… in this lifetime, and many others previously. But past lives is a conversation for another time, as it is not an easy concept to relate to. However, eventually I shall make an attempt at a reasonable clarification for those who wish to know.
The pathway of the journey of my lifetime was now alive, waving and speaking to me at every turn. My eyes came to rest on random little things, moment to moment that rang true and spoke to, showing without a doubt, the support of universe for my quest. The plants, trees and flowers, the animals, the signs and symbols, numbers and lettering that my eyes jumped to, one to the other throughout each day, became subtle previously unseen messages, speaking directly to me, pointing to and showing me the path of the golden “yellow brick road” to the happiness, joy and peace of mind and heart that I had sought for so many long years now. I watched with awe and amazement as the world began to open up and unfold right before my feet, revealing an unbelievable magic that I could have never imagine existed before. But it did, it had and I had spent the last 45 years of my life submerged within it yet missing it all. Once now seen, I could not believe I could have been so “asleep at the wheel” that I could have missed it all. It was all around me, in every thing, every one, every place in every moment of all time and space, and yet I had not seen it, and furthermore, neither was anyone else. No one, up to this point in time, is seeing what I was now seeing, because if they had… we would have heard about it by now.

I apparently had fallen into the wonderful world of “behind the looking glass” and my world began to explode with vibrancy, an aliveness and purpose that thrilled me beyond imagination. And I giggled many times at the folly of the humans and their “condition” all around me who were still “deaf, dumb and blind” to all the magic that Spirit had laid before us all simply awaiting patiently our notice. I could tell in my everyday wanderings and conversations with others of like-mindedness, that no one was seeing what I was, and yet they would come to. Apparently, I was to become one of the for-bearers, thus to translate it for others, that they may come to understand and know the workings and support of the higher spiritual force within their own lives for their betterment, and the eventual benefit of the whole of life on this Great Mother Ship we are all a sail upon.

What were the signs and symbols? Simply, they were everything from the numbers on the digital clock and the timing with which I glanced upon them, to every title in the vast library collection of books that I own. Every detail right on down to the very smallest of things, spoke to the path I was on and presented absolute reassurance that not only was it the perfectly planned pathway for my life’s true purpose, but each became a piece of the picture “puzzle” that was the collective symphony of my own particular lifetime. Each piece fit perfectly into the picture and simply and easily flushed out the exactness of my belief in the truth of the rightness that was this dance of life I was waltzing away with Spirit and my own ideology and the plans for my future and for the future of the World at large that I could so clearly see was now in action. Having studied symbolism and numerology, the various religions of the world, healing in all forms, myths and stories, and the sciences of the earth all in great detail, everything that surrounded me held messages of meaning that pertained directly to the story that was my life. Every detail became a reflection of one facet of the sum total of facets that was the jewel my life had become. I came to see that each and everything I had done throughout my life, was a stepping stone that was essential for the journey of my life and the destination I was headed for…. That place that would ultimately become my fulfillment of what my life was all about and the purpose for the world that my life was to now more quickly each day, to become. If each person is a “gem” with many facets, then each aspect of one’s life, i.e. our jobs, our children, families and friends, our hobbies and interests and our travels are a facet of our stone that makes up the whole, eventually creating a sparking jewel that should be full of brilliance and radiance, color, shape and form, that resonates with our hearts in harmony and love with those around us. It is our responsibility, to our own lives, the lives of those we know and love, and the global whole to recognize, resonate and harmonize with one another in vast symbiotic relationships… unfortunately, this is not the case, and our lives have disintegrated, becoming disconnected and disenfranchise with one another to the utter destruction of our communal villages of structure and support.

This was all so perfect in its simplicity and I was often rendered into disbelief that I had missed it all until now. I marveled at how without exception, no one was seeing anything that I was and yet it was all there, right out in the open, in full daylight, laying right at our feet for us to pick up and tuck away in our baskets of goodies that will sustain our daily lives collectively. Pensively I thought back on how different my life might had been had I seen it all before now, but alas, that was not how it was supposed to be or that is how it would have been. It was not, and my thoughts once again circled back around to the perfection of the present moment and the power of “now” that I had obtained and held within my hands.

I often looked down at the tattooed “eyes” in the palms of my hands, and realized it was at that moment of decision to put them there permanently, as my conviction to the covenant with “my God” that I had made in doing so, that that was when it all began. My commitment to myself and the global greater good for the great whole, had been “sealed” with the execution of the tattooed eyes and it was a matter of moments afterward, that the universe accepted my pledge and began to come rushing at me in an influx like a tsunami wave in an overwhelming gush of universal, cosmic consciousness and knowledge unlike anything anyone had ever experienced. Apparently this wondrous “gift/curse” of the visions and precognitive dreams I had been given had been reserved for me alone at just the right moment, in order that I might eventually translate for others, in order to dispel and fears that would without a doubt arise as others began to see what I was seeing. It was only a matter of time, and I could see that it was already happening… and more quickly with each passing day. The more I saw, the more messages of affirmation came in, the more definite I became in the rightness of it all. If only every human being could be this “in sync”, we would have a world of peace, harmony, happiness, love and joy beyond measure. I rested assured, time and time again, that this was indeed what was on the way…. For everyone and the Earth Herself, was awaiting our rebirth with all the very joy and happiness originally intended for all of life by our Illustrious Creator. However, I have come to see that even “God” can make mistakes, and this has become painfully obviously with the ‘’gift” of the free will and free choice we were bestowed with as our “birthright”. We as human beings have misused it profoundly and now the Great Spirit, along with all the Angels and other etheric beings unseen, are in a mad scramble to get our attention and set all right again. Will we make it in time? That is going to be a very close call, a “photo finish” and we will be most fortunate if the picture in the end is one of renewed faith and belief beyond a “shadow of a doubt” in not only the absoluteness of a Master Plan by a Higher Consciousness, but the definitive truth that will prevail because of the mighty power of that Force, and the original intention for the Great Mother and all Her sacred life to finally be within complete peace and harmony all together as one enormous living breathing entity made up of the sum of all the parts in goodness for a spectacular new vision of paradise in the “Garden of Eden” awaiting our tending. I invite you to join me… the breathtaking vision awaits your notice and invites you to enjoy the simplistic dance that is the joy of life, laying there before you, each renewed day. Won’t you come see life with me, through my “rose colored glasses”? The colors, textures, flavor and feel of what life has to offer are not to be missed, and yet, unfortunately they are. Unclutter and simply your life, and you will come to find all the gems and jewels amongst the magical treasure hunt that life on the Great Mother was meant to be. It will cost you nothing but a little time and attention spent and you have everything to gain, now that most of what is truly valuable within life has been misplaced. It is not lost and you can find it in this very moment, and the next and the next. Your life is a treasure hunt…. it is an occasion. Rise to it! It is ….. that easy!
