It’s All Connected – Part 1

Sometimes life choices can be as simple as my experience with the boxes. When I open or soften my focus (I allow my awareness to see the connections in the bigger picture), it becomes really exciting and even more fun.  Spring quickly brought this opportunity to me again. First an awareness of a simple issue and then a series of issues with choices that unfolded over a few days.

I mentioned earlier my old attachment to lack, that there was never enough, a very old and familiar fear-based attachment. This can be around money, but also not enough time, love, food, friends, room, joy…just simply not enough. The opposite of experiencing prosperity and abundance which are based in love. As I was preparing and eating lunch one day, choosing to be in the experience of prosperity, I received a text from a friend I met in the group I began this spiritual journey with 20+ yrs ago.

I hadn’t even considered this friend in terms of a donation. They helped me open Expanding Consciousness so they could ‘hire’ me to run it. We talk from time to time, still good friends on our journey home. And yet, I had to smile, knowing this was not a coincidence and checking in with my Soul Self several times to see if I was to ask them for a donation. I texted them and we ended up zooming two days later, with me still checking in because I really don’t like asking for help in general.

I know social media is helpful and I’m only looking for a short 1:30 video to begin with Instagram and YouTube, and yet when I returned to that on Thursday I was again stymied. I’d start well and then totally forget what I was going to say next – in less than one and a half minutes! Frustrated, and remembering to breathe through the anxiety, I let go again after 4 tries and decided to go get a few groceries.

My golden chariot, a 2005 Prius, wouldn’t start. When I pushed the button the whole dashboard of warnings came up. I’d never seen that before and, OK, yes, that scared me! I tried to call my Toyota people but they were busy and would call back. I tried another Toyota place and they suggested that I have it towed to them on Monday, 5 days away. And the anxiety continued…

Time for my Zoom call with my friend – which was really fun. We do have so much in common in terms of where we’re finding stuck spots being released, how we experience life. I was wondering how to open the subject of a donation when they started talking about Expanding Consciousness and how they are relating to their own major financial changes. So I jumped in and they listened and then asked if a donation would help ! So simple! (thank you, my friend) This, too, left me charged with old energy (fear, worry) being met by new energy (love, joy)…and I was still pretty much in shock as stuff kept happening.

After that call, a Toyota service rep called and, looking at my car’s history with them, suggested it was simply the small battery needing charging. This has happened before, but never with all the dashboard lights going off, so I was still going one step at a time in a haze.

Friday am, as my Toyota service person suggested, I called a taxi to jump start my car and that worked. Certainly calmed me some :). Drove it off to the dealership where Prakash, the Toyota service person, said he’d call me around 3 to tell me either it was ready or it needed to stay overnight for a trickle recharging. He set up a courtesy Uber ride back home. I’ve never used Uber before, so all the texts and phone calls just added to my rather unbalanced state.
When I got home, I decided to look at my bank accounts, get a sense of how and where these donated funds would go. My online banking was LOCKED! I spent the next few hours calling my bank’s phone number on that LOCKED screen. I’d get through two layers of giving information and then the call would drop and I’d start over again. (A side note, my phone plan is on 3G and I didn’t think I could afford to upgrade yet, so calls would drop…often.)

Then, Prakash called to say the car was ready – a relatively minimal expense :). Another Uber to pick it up, more texts and calls, more jumbled. And they washed it, too. Generally, they hose off the outside, but I’d joked with Prakash about cleaning off the green stuff growing in places on the outside which he had said really wasn’t going to happen. Apparently he’d talked to whoever did the wash and they did an amazing job! How fun in the midst of all this craziness! Now my chariot is golden again – well, blue but much cleaner :).

From my heart to yours…
When I got home, I finally thought to use the other phone I have for Expanding Consciousness to call about my bank accounts, got through, went through all the potential fraud questions and my accounts were unlocked. When I got online, I saw that the donation was already in my account. The bank representative said I’d get a letter from the bank to ‘activate’ something or other in 10 days. Turned out I couldn’t access that account holding the donation until it was activated – which so didn’t work for me!
They suggested I go into a bank branch where they could do that activation thing. It was too late to go in Friday, so Saturday am first thing, I was there. The teller didn’t know how or what to do, but managed to work his way by phone to someone who told them I just needed to reset my security questions and all was well. And it was and is, hallelujah! Still jumbled, but there is money in the bank and all the broken things work or are clean again.
In the midst of this, I remembered to keep breathing and smiling. It’s awesome how that helped me stay ‘above’ the craziness (or climb out of it). I was also in meditation from time to time, connecting with my Soul Self, expressing gratitude and asking for clarity. Gratitude for the fun mix of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ stuff happening. Clarity for the many questions that wanted answers. Was the jump start a signal for me (the timing was suspicious and I have a history of things ‘happening’ when I’m missing something)? Well, yes, of course it was a message for me. About the issues around videos, money (oh, so much about money), all of the above, what was I missing?
Gratitude expanded and clarity started showing up in the days following…not at all what I expected, and yet so very perfect! And there’s MORE: The stories continue to unfold in Part 2, coming soon enough.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this…whether you’ve had similar experiences, have no idea what I’m talking about, or are just interested in discovering more. Join me and others on Saturday, May 11,  at 11 am for an hour of Expanding Consciousness Conversations. Sign up here to receive the Zoom link and other information.

    Thank you for reminding me about ‘experiencing prosperity and abundance which are based in love.’
    I’d been activated by some old patterns of ‘not enough,’ so much appreciation, gratitude and love to you!

      Thank you, Ayleyaell, for underlining the choice we have to shift our focus to what is possible in every moment and situation by remembering and re-experiencing our connection to our Soul Self.
