There is a continuum that happens related to communications with spirit and discernment.
- On one side of the continuum (say the far left side) you have those thoughts/experiences that occur that you feel confident are NOT spirit communication.
- And on the other side of the continuum (say the far right side) you have those thoughts/experiences that you are confidant ARE spirit communications.
- And then you have the area in the middle, where you are not confident either way.
And it is not an even split in thirds. Some days that middle area is very large, and some days it is not. And it can vary by the spirit, by the situation, by the moment, etc. As noted in the Consumerism section on the About page, using good (and ethical) discernment is important!
So this morning… I’m driving into work, and I am confident that my guy – my guy in spirit – is sitting in the passenger seat next to me. I was pretty sure that he was there as I pulled out of the garage, and it didn’t take but a few blocks of driving for me to have high confidence that he was next to me for the ride into work. Mostly just being quiet and spending some together time. This is not new.
By the time I got downtown, I heard him suggest that I turn the music off so that we could talk (not that we couldn’t “talk” anyway…). So I did. Then a few minutes later, I heard him tell me quite specifically and firmly: “you better put both hands on the wheel.”
Not even a half block further along (not even 10 seconds later), while in rush hour traffic downtown, moving at a good clip… A less-than-good-decision-maker (a total dumbass, as my guy in sprit says) going the opposite direction, decided to suddenly do a U-turn in front of me and everyone else, cut across 3 lanes of traffic (not at an intersection) and pull up to the curb to park. We (me and the other drivers) narrowly missed him – not sure how. A completely stupid move during fast paced, rush hour traffic – not sure if he was suicidal, on drugs, mentally ill, or some combination thereof. Why this driver made that move is not so much the point of this posting though.
What I can tell you is that my being prepared was NOT “luck,” “intuition,” etc. I knew damn well that my guy was in the seat next to me, I knew that I understood him clearly, and less than 10 seconds after I heard him warn me, this dumbass driver suddenly whipped a U-turn and sped across 3 lanes of opposite moving cars.
It’s times like these that – while frustrated – I get some validation that I’m NOT crazy and making shit up in my head. I get it – I know that I’m a little (a lot) “out there” compared to the norm, but sometimes I just need validation along the way.
Here’s the kicker – even people who are pretty confident about when they are/are not perceiving spirit need validation that they are on target. It is not a perfect art, it is important to use good discernment skills. And validation is super important.
It just doesn’t always come the way you might think! Sometimes it comes careening at you in the middle of rush hour traffic!
