I was approaching the Circle K near the house and wondered if I should get a Fantasy Five ticket for the night. The numbers 3525 came into my head. I got a Play 4. I came home and an unexpected check for $352.50 was in my mailbox, a final dividend on an investment I thought went bottom up years ago. Things like that happen a lot.\u00a0 I wrote on Facebook that apparently I am fully connected and the only glitch is my own self, my tangle of thoughts, etc. that the information filters through. Go figure \ud83d\ude42<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On June 13 of last year, the numbers 1, 9, 6 keep appearing to me.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t know why. I emailed my friend Carl M. that I was going to play the numbers.\u00a0 The numbers 9-6-1 came in on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.floridalottery.com\/inet\/SearchResultByDateMain.do?Game=CASH+3&amp;month=6&amp;date=13&amp;year=2008&amp;Game=CASH+3&amp;imageField.x=13&amp;imageField.y=7\" target=\"_blank\">Cash 3<\/a> that evening and we both won.<\/p>\n<p>It helps me to know what my guidance system is telling me, to be able to interpret it correctly.\u00a0 So exercising it is important.\u00a0 One way to exercise it is to keep track of little things like this &#8211; my correct &#8220;hits&#8221; &#8211; and bring them to mind often, along with the thought that &#8220;I am getting better at this all the time.&#8221;\u00a0 I don&#8217;t do this to gloat to friends or get pats on the back for my spidey sense, I do it to keep honest track of it and to attract more of it. to stay in the vibrational resonance of it.\u00a0 I am always emailing notes or predictions to myself in order to get a date\/time stamp on it to review later.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of years ago, I wanted a tent and had just finished my internet research to decide what kind and size I wanted.\u00a0 I woke up one morning and knew that someone would call me that day and they would have a tent for me like the one I was looking for.\u00a0 I went into the office and began taking the day&#8217;s calls, yet each time when I wondered if I should ask about the tent, it felt stupid and I didn&#8217;t do it. Then Jane Warner from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heavensentwellness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Heaven Sent Wellness Center<\/a> called and it was the first time we&#8217;d spoken.\u00a0 I immediately knew she had the tent for me.\u00a0 We spoke first about an ad, the purpose of her call, then I told her I&#8217;d been looking for a tent and that Spirit just told me she had one for me.\u00a0 There was a short pause, then she told me that she and Angie just returned from a gathering where they took their tent.\u00a0 They had, however, forgotten the top fly to the tent and so went to the nearest Sears and bought a duplicate tent so they had a fly that fit.\u00a0 Which left them with an extra tent.\u00a0 For me.<\/p>\n<p>Once I was meeting a friend in Michael&#8217;s Craft Store in Melbourne.\u00a0 As I was walking in the door, I was looking for my friend&#8217;s head above everything since he&#8217;s really, really tall.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t see him at first, then I saw a light matrix grid walk out about 10 feet in ahead of him, and it had sparks at all the joints below the hips.\u00a0 I asked in my mind what it was and the answer was \u201ccrystals in the joints\u201d.\u00a0 Then I saw my friend appear and we began speaking and I forgot about it.\u00a0 A couple of days later, I remembered and I asked inside &#8211; my internal guidance system &#8211; or Whoever is Up There or In Here &#8211; for more info and what &#8220;crystals in the joints&#8221; means.\u00a0 The answer was \u201che knows\u201d.\u00a0 So I asked my buddy and he told me he has gout and that is how it appears.\u00a0 I Googled the word &#8220;gout&#8221; and found out more info and sure enough they describe it as uric acid <em>crystals in the joints<\/em>.\u00a0 Two weeks later, my friend had a severe gout attack.\u00a0 I thought it was cool to be able to see them and give him a heads up so he could maybe prevent them.\u00a0 But I was the only one who thought that was cool.<\/p>\n<p>When I say a <em>light matrix grid appeared<\/em>, the closest I can think to show you what I mean is in Alex Grey&#8217;s painting of the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacredmirrors.org\/html\/mirrors.cgi?m=16\" target=\"_blank\"> Universal Mind Lattice<\/a>.\u00a0 Like the Boy in the Bubble, imagine everyone is walking about in a giant energetic bubble; call it the aura, the energy field, and it extends out around you lke a hamster ball rolling around on the floor everywhere you go.\u00a0 When there is information to be had, for me often it&#8217;s contained inside the grid, inside the bubble.<\/p>\n<p>Once at church, I walked up on a couple of friends having a conversation, and one of them mentioned someone who might have a kidney infection.\u00a0 My friend<a href=\"http:\/\/cdbaby.com\/cd\/chimera\" target=\"_blank\"> Janine Chimera<\/a> said she&#8217;d been having those same symptoms and, without planning to, I blurted out that<em> she <\/em>didn&#8217;t have the infection, <em>her mom did<\/em> and Janine was just getting the signal to have it checked.\u00a0 She didn&#8217;t know how to interpret the signal, so she thought <em>she herself <\/em>might have it, since she was clearly having symptoms.\u00a0 She did not.\u00a0 But even missing part of the conversation, somehow it was appropriate to butt in with what I knew.<\/p>\n<p>With a partner once, I awoke in the middle of the night and had a strong impression as I laid with my hand across his tummy and heard myself say out loud \u201cyou\u2019ve got a hot liver\u201d.\u00a0 He asked what that meant and I didn\u2019t know, I was sleeping and it just came out as I stirred.\u00a0 But I came in and Googled \u201dhot liver\u201d when I got up.\u00a0 I found an Ayurvedic website that had that phrase and it basically meant he could benefit by a liver cleansing.\u00a0 I simply asked him to get a liver function test and he did and his enzyme levels were indeed elevated.\u00a0 Yay for the spidey sense.<\/p>\n<p>So bringing these things to mind when they happen and reflecting on them, helps you exercise your spidey sense.\u00a0 Taking note every time something synchronistic happens exercises your spidey sense, your psychic sense.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s worth noting that I believe it&#8217;s easier for me to interpret the symbolism when I live a life of silence and quiet and few external distractions in a monastic setting.\u00a0 But it can be cultivated and exercised anywhere, anytime, under any circumstances.\u00a0 It just takes practice and focus.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s so worth it.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED POSTS:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=2191\" target=\"_blank\">More lottery wins<\/a><br \/>\n<a
