How Intuitive Living Can Change The Course Of Life

I drove up a narrow street, today, to a stop sign and crosswalk. A woman and a small boy on a tricycle began to cross the street from my left and slowly made it to the front of my car. The little boy wasn't wearing a helmet but I hardly noticed that because he was so cute in his rugged overalls. Children have always made me smile. He couldn't have been more than 3 or 4. I saw his blond little head just above the hood of my car when I suddenly saw a superimposed image of him having already crossed to the other side. He was sliding back down the handicap incline at the corner and under the back wheel of a car that was making a right turn, just as I was about to do. Once pedestrians step over the boundary of the asphalt street and the concrete sidewalk, don't you usually think that it's perfectly safe to move forward? He made it halfway up the ramp and still I didn't budge. I waited. He tried to make it up the rest of the small ramp but his little foot slipped off the pedal and he rolled back and into the crosswalk, in front of my stopped car. Neither one of them knew how close it came had I not been warned. Had I not seen that image I would have been moving through the crosswalk, making my turn. Oblivious, they carried on the mission which probably included lunch, a story and a nap.

We are always guided. These messages, images, insights come on a constant stream. The only thing that separates us from the stream are the dials of our own mind. Just like tuning a dial on an old radio we vibrate at a frequency that is clarity and guidance. It is the same vibration that heals and restores us. It is the frequency of heart and mind as one.

What would it have cost me if I had allowed myself to loose that connection today? What if I had decided to actively engage my mind in past regrets or future fears? What if I hadn't been present and connected and tuned in? It still boggles my mind and I've been doing this a very, very long time.
