Signs
Oooh, this is a topic I have been meaning to raise here but never have the time to catch up AND post
I have long believed in signs, but am now questioning them. If we are creating/manifesting what happens in our life - from magazine articles to phone calls to jobs - then these things are not signs saying 'yes, you are headed in the right direction", they are just reflections of where our minds are. I LOVED signs. They reassured me.
Examples: Last Spring when we were ttc, I *knew* I woulg get preg b/c the name we wanted for a girl was Aurora, and that month a magazine I subscribed to had an article, the title of which was spread over two pages: Aurora, NY. Then, driving to my accupuncture appt. I happened to look at the registration renewal date on the license plate in front of me (totally random, never noticed it before) and it was March 7 (my birthday
). And I thought, hmm, why did the universe want me to see that? Then I got to the office and picked up a New Yorker mag - they come out weekly, so each issue has the date of that week; March 7! So then I really start trying to figure out what could be happening on my birthday, and I count 9 mos ahead, and it was right around March 7. And, yes, we got preg.
But the past 6 mos have been the darkest of my life. I was thinking a lot about suicide. And there was stuff about suicide everywhere - literally, I went on amazon to read up on a health book I d heard of, and on the list of "other books bought by people who bought this book" was one about how to help children deal when a parent suicides! Hello! There was a PBS special on suicide, an NPR story, and so on. The PBS special was about families recovering, so I started thinking, the universe is warning me what damage will come if I do something.
So Im confused. Isnt what we see as a sign just something we created? Dh says, the signs are still confirmation that you are on the right path. But we get signs of bad stuff too, if that's what we are manifesting, but I dont believe the universe is saying, ....
ok, wait, so is it that the universe is showing us what oath we're on, and if we're getting signs pointing toward the thing we want then we know that we are successfully allowing, and to keep up that, and if we get signs of bad stuff we know that we are successfully NOT allowing
:
Meanwhile, we srated talking about adoption a few months ago (but I have been wavering/waiting b/c of my health), and the name I like for a girl is Zora. We were at a bookstore awhile ago and I looked up Zora in the "name meaning" book - it said "Zora/Aurora - Dawn" Dh looked at me and said what I thought, if/when we go ahead with adopting, it will be the dawn of a new day [the darkness will be over].
Have I made any sense - Ive just really

It changed my perspective in a huge way so I thought I'd post it...
I'm taking a break from studying.
You know, for that really cool homeopathy school opportunity I manifested
: about it, but I know that's really silly. there's got to be a reason, right? Dh thinks I need to learn patience or something.
