Messages Part III

Messages. There are ways to obtain them, and ways to check them. Then there are the ones we discussed briefly,where the Universe is trying to tell you something important.

Searching messages out is the preferred method, once the Universe feels it has to send a message, it is because we were not paying attention. It means the Universe is noticing, and is perhaps a little upset with us. These messages usually come in threes also, but I would advise not waiting for the third bump in the head. When you think you have received a strong message, or know that you have , but not why you are making a mistake that the Universe feels the need to correct, go back to "obtaining" a message. Ask what you are doing wrong, or what path you are supposed to be on . Most people know the answers already when this happens, they just were hoping the Universe would not notice, or will stop bothering them. That WON'T happen.

A friend recently told me that she tried three times this year to go to her first sweat. All three times, there was a rain out. She said, "Will I ever get to go?". I told her it may be she isn't supposed to go to that particular lodge, or maybe not at all. She managed to do a sweat with an entirely different group of people who are authentic and allowed her to come to their traditional lodge on their native land to do a sweat. Three times is a charm. When the Universe keeps you at bay, there is a reason for it. She was in a safe place, with true Native teachers.

One day a family member who was all excited about doing a million things (some he was not yet prepared to do at all). He was rushing around and talking excitedly about his new thoughts, ambitions, and ideas. I had already told him to take things one step at a time, to slow down. His over enthusiasm was already getting him into situations he was not prepared for. We were running errands one day when he managed to bump up against or run over 3 curbs. One was a driveway in a business, one an island in a parking lot, and one a corner of a street. He said, "What is going on today, I keep running over curbs?".  I told him, the Universe is literally telling you to "Curb your enthusiasm!". He laughed, and said..."Oh wow, that is funny".  He changed plans, and all went well.

The Universe does send signals all the time, it is just that we usually are not paying attention or do not want to hear it. We want to do what the loud ego says, not what common sense tells us to do. When we make big mistakes, the Universe acts harshly. It doesn't punish , but it DOES teach and try to get your attention.

When something is repeatedly unobtainable; when it is taken away; when it is prevented entirely; when it is something that time and again eludes you, you are not supposed to do it.

When you feel uncomfortable, angry, frustrated with a situation , person, or group of people. LEAVE, they are not going to change unless they are 2 or 3 years old. It is the Universe telling you, "You do not belong here".

Learn to read the signs. There are many out there who ignore them daily, and life inevitably slips slowly downhill, don't be one of the clueless, be one of the tuned in. Just because you WANT to do something, doesn't mean that you should. Just because you got away with doing something before, doesn't mean you should do it again.

Search out your messages, read them clearly, verify them, and move on with them! Listening to messages is what separates those "lucky" and happy people from everyone else.
