A Course In Miracles, Miracle Principle #25: "Miracles depend on timing."
For a couple of weeks I've been looking for the right time to talk to the young couple that lives in the house where I am currently renting a room. Their relationship seems to be based mostly on their bodies, and I wanted to find a way to share with them that we are not our bodies, and how realizing that can help them appreciate each other better for more than the sex each other's bodies can offer, and so reduce their frequent yelling matches.
In the evening I sit in my room with my door open to make sure my housemates feel comfortable talking to me. Tonight the wife came and asked me "Do you hear that?" I went to the living room where I heard a sort of humming or chanting sound coming from their end of the house. She said her husband thought she was crazy for hearing it. The sound always stops when she opens their bedroom door. Sure enough, I opened the door and the humming stopped.
She was shook up about it and told me a sick old man had died in the room next door awhile back. While talking in the kitchen to the couple and our other housemate about human consciousness and how we do not actually die, we just leave our bodies, I heard sounds from their room like it was coming from a TV. I heard a woman's voice saying Honey? Honey! ...but it stopped when I opened their bedroom door, and their TV was not on.
The wife was too freaked out by the noises and the strange concept that disembodied spirits exist, to listen to me anymore, so she went out front for a smoke. I was talking to the husband about what death really is, and how reading, watching or listening to near-death experience stories can help one understand better. Also told him about interspecies communication and past life studies so I could explain about the squirrel who enjoyed playing a game with cars and had been run over 3 times saying it was no big deal, and the boy who remembered being shot down by a Japanese pilot in WW II when he was an Air Force pilot in a previous life.
(The animal communicator scolded the squirrel and convinced it that playing this game was very unsettling for the driver's who ran over it. The little boy visited the Japanese pilot who shot him down and forgave him because he hadn't really died after all!)
As we finally went out front where the wife had settled down, I was telling the husband about reading Proof of Heaven by Dr. Eben Alexander III a few years ago. At that instant I realized that the day I was reading that book and became convinced there really is something we can call "God" was on October 15, 2013, exactly 7 years ago to the day!
As I was in the midst of writing the above, I glanced at the time, which was 12:34 AM (on the 16th), a number series. This afternoon I looked at my phone when I hung up from talking to someone and the time was 2:22 PM, another number series. These number things happen to me just about every day, often several times a day. Life is but a dream!
Reminds me of this photo I took of my Bahraini friend's son, Cedric, running through the water at St. Pete Beach, Florida at sunset on a summer day in 2016, with a pelican floating behind him. I knew that someday I would find the perfect Course in Miracles quote to go with it. A few months later as I was studying the course, I found it. As I was overlaying the quote on the photo, I realized that I had taken the photo exactly one year before!
