Hey my friend! 😀
Do you ever notice signs from the universe?
Or maybe that sounds a little bit too “woo-woo” for you…
I didn’t believe in this stuff at first…
until I met my most recent girlfriend 5 years ago.
We used to go for drives and she would point out “222” on the licence plate on the car in front of us.
“So?”
I would say.
“What does that mean?”
She explained:
“Well, it could mean a lot of things. In numerology, 2 is a number thatrepresents balance, polarity, and relationships. So, seeing a triple 2 means that you could be experiencing more of that energy in your life.”
“Hmmmm…” I thought.
“But isn’t that just made up?” I retorted.
“How do you know it’s true?”
“I just know.” She said, dismissively.
Oh.
Learning To Read The Signs
To be honest… I didn’t really believe her at first.
“How did she know?” I puzzled.
I thought that maybe she just heard it from someone online and she just blindly believed them like a sheep.
As a very logically-minded man… I required concrete proof and physical evidence to know if something is true or not…
Otherwise… we can land ourselves in the realm of “just believing random shit.”
And I don’t like that.
That being said…
I was also practicing radical open-mindedness … and studying 100s of diverse perspectives.
At that time in my life, I had just come back from a meditation retreat living at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand for a few months.
After spending many long days and night doing nothing but walking, sitting, and observing my mind / body…
I knew that reality isn’t a solid thing.
This wasn’t a belief-system or a philosophy that I adopted.
This was earned experience from thousands of hours of sitting on the cushion.
Exercise: Take 20 minutes to sit quietly and become very present. Look at the room around you. Is it solid? How do you know? What's your evidence? You might knock on the floor with your knuckles. Or grab a physical object. But notice how your only evidence of the "physicality" of this object is only your perception. The feeling of knuckles banging is not a "solid" experience. It's just a feeling (which isn't "solid"). With enough investigation and curiosity... you might discover that "solid" is nothing more than a thought in your mind.
So, since I learned from reading the writings of various enlightened masters… (which required open-mindedness)
And I put their words to the test by actually attending multiple retreats and even experimenting w/ psychedelics.
It wasn’t completely out of the realm of possibility that maybe reality actually could communicate with me via “signs.”
Messages In The Morning
Yesterday I woke up with a Lady Gaga song stuck in my head…
“Just Dance.”
I didn’t realize it at first… but that would become the theme for my day.
For the whole day… I couldn’t shake the overwhelming urge to listen to music and just dance.
It felt like my day was supposed to be a celebration!
This corresponded perfectly to the Full Moon that we just had.
(the Full Moon is usually a time for letting go, celebrating how far we’ve come since the last New Moon, and reflecting on our growth // wins!)
I tried recording a video yesterday…
but nothing was coming out.
I had zero desire to do any kind of “work.”
All I wanted to do was “just dance!”
So… listening to the signs…
I did.
I played all sorts of my favourite music (it was a lot of white teenage girl pop songs and grungy nasty rap music)…
and I busted some moves. 
As I did this…
I noticed that the dancing was a perfect vehicle for anchoring in higher energies and frequencies that I wanted to embody.
What does that mean in regular people speak?
As I was dancing… I felt really good… and powerful… from this positive state, I was able to visualize myself being awesome, creating great videos, helping people, changing the world, etc.
And as you already know… when you feel really good in your reality… that means that you’re ALIGNED with what is true for you in your heart and soul.
So, to wrap up.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNS!
Why?
It could be a helpful way to guide yourself onto the right path where you feel most aligned, excited, happy, fun, expansive, creative, passionate, free, etc.
And don’t be Mr. ‘Science-Head’ who is too stubborn and arrogant to be open to the possibility of “signs.”
I used to be ‘Mr. Science-Head’ …
And I thought it was because I was smart.
But if I was being honest with myself… I didn’t really understand much about science and the nature of reality.
As I dove deeper into the philosophy of science…
I realized that science is only ONE way to understand reality.
Not the only way.
Science is good, it’s valid, and it deserves study and exploration.
It can DEFINITELY become a trap where you end up “flying away into some sort of fairytale woo-woo la la land” that is completely disconnecting from your direct experience.
So, it’s good to be skeptical of spiritual-sounding shit.
And, it’s also good to be humble and open-minded to learning new things.
Middle way.
Alright, that’s all for today! I hope you enjoyed 😀
Take care!
