Have you had your cool 11 prompt today?

= ) Love is all around.

Yes- most definitely I had a cool 11 prompt today:

Today, while driving, I entered into prayer. It wasn't a prayer as much as it was a plea. I spoke aloud, with the hopes that I could orient my self instead of entertaining the previous thoughts I desperately sought to release.

Just as I entered my plea- I noticed a white SUV in front of me with the license plate ending in 444.

During this plea, an intense and heartfelt request- I cried for a, "conversion of my perversion" I was articulating(to my surprise) what was happening within with precision.

I realized there was a perversion, due to an attachment to thoughts(habitually conditioned). My neurological, biological wiring sought intensity/pleasure/reward. My psychological, emotional self realized unhappiness/regret/displeasure. Two contrasting forces existing simultaneously.

And just as my plea was coming to an end I started to envision, something, blooming within. That something was not quite apparent. At the same time, my car was coming to a stop because of a red light ahead. And right when the prayer/plea ended I realized I was behind this car:



GOLD ROSE with a picture of Jesus on the back

That was the catalyst, instruction, immediate reflection and even state of being(if only for a split second) of what I should envision taking place within. A living golden rose, vibrant, shimmering, breathing, with its own radiance and aura transforming everything from deep within.

I then remembered I had entered my prayer at the same time I saw 444.

Well that synchronicity IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. It isn't a commerce, we are not exchanging tokens in order to increase faith. The faith is already living. There is no desire to make commerce out of it. I am contented by such profound mystery. I recognize it as real, and more than anything material science can explain. I look at these moments as a hint towards presence- where presence is above materially minded concepts, an all-ways eternal and transcendent Love that is not bound by ego or mental construction. I liken it to the Kingdom of God.

Wednesdays are now my days to meet a few friends at the local coffee shop. One of our buddies missed out and he asked how our meeting was- I joked, prior to any of this happening, "divinely ordained"  :-P

Feeling happy and silly... Well, my friends and I enjoy the presence so I decided to send them what had occurred later in the day/earlier in that morning.

This is where it gets too surreal to believe.

I sent them my experience at 1111- not realizing it, I took a screen shot. While this is happening, I am listening to a talk radio show. The host of the radio show literally says:

"He said it 14 times. 14 times, let me check- yes he said it exactly 14 times"

Where, at that exact moment- I captured a screen shot at 11:14AM.

Now, just what the - *!$@$)?!

I had my cool 11 prompt yesterday.

I was feeling drawn to go outside and meditate. I decided to sit down by the dumpster no less(lol) and gaze out at the sun. It was just me and a scrawny tabby cat with auric copper eyes.

Ok well turns out there were some people not far from me painting in the parking lot, so thats cool. I wasn't completely alone.

But I positioned myself to where I thought I had some privacy. And in my gazing, I was thoroughly present. My mind and heart were completely aligned with the setting sun, and if there were thoughts beginning to form- I'd simply say, "God.... God.... God...." Pulsing with the radiant rays before me.

There was a pause between each thought, drawn out, where the focus wasn't on thoughts but on presence- a type of spiritual imbibing.

By the end of it, a neighbor I had never met before came up to me and wanted to give me a gift.
He told me he saw me, and felt like I should have this:


Incredible. Kind of funny too- the orange skin, I was glowing orange from the sun- and the eyes, felt like a direct parallel to what I was doing. Literally drinking in the rays of the sun, I'm sure my eyes looked glossed over in a near similar fashion because- I had no mental space- instead was allowing the sun within me to speak through my eyes.

This man was really nice, really cool. I invited him to my apartment to offer him some tea, and we exchanged contact info so I may have a future walking buddy. But if nothing occurs, I just thought this to be a beautiful synchronicity- and the message on it is so true.

It's what Gurunath would tell us all those years ago, "Self Peace for Earth Peace."

So, not an "11" prompt. But a "prompt" either way.

Eric,
Your life and interactions with people around you is living proof of the benefits of a life dedicated to knowing the Creator of All
That was amazing and precious.
xxSandy

Thank you Sandy... We are all so blessed! I believe Love as the Guiding Force is constantly helping us reorient our awareness to realize Gods Kingdom even now. Just my opinion. And I share as a student of Presence, excited by the subtle realities we all have a capacity for. You are unique, generous, caring and really a wonderful friend. There is nothing better in life than a true friend. Thank you for being YOU.

I just had a moment with 2:22PM. This is in line with, "ExoConsciousness" and "Synchronicity" and "Communication With" something larger and something unifying.

No picture for this, but here's what happened . . .

I was sent home from work early today. As I was waiting at a red light, I saw a man standing in the heat and just felt so bad. He was begging. While I was feeling bad, I did not feel inclined to give him the grapefruit sitting next to me. I should have.

And as he walks by, I stare off at the car wash behind him- where people pay a lot of money for fine detailing. Here was this black, large Infinity SUV with a modern edge. It just looks like it comes with that 6 digit price tag($100,000 USD). There are at least 4 to 5 hispanic employees detailing it, with what looked like an Indian man standing off to the side with his arms crossed watching them work.

At first I thought, "what an image!" (as if I had a right to judge, oblivious to the beggar before me asking for generosity).
But then, I saw him interrupt one of the hispanic women and point to the bright green towel she was using to wipe down his car. That's when I saw him join in and help clean his own vehicle.

Wow... Suddenly the light turned green and as I thought about that, feeling like I should have done more for the beggar- a human being asking for sympathy, I noticed the time: 2:22PM. It felt as if in that moment Love was speaking.

I hope to have a small something next time for the man. For now, perhaps a prayer and acknowledgment of this moment will suffice.

Hey Eric,
Something similar happened to me a couple years ago. I had just picked up some groceries and was walking across the parking lot to take a peak in a goodwill store. A man approached me and asked for some money. It threw me as believe it or not this hadnt happened to me before.
So I told him I didn't have anything and truly I didn't have much I could have given him. I still feel ashamed and wish I could go back in time and respond differently.
I remember being with my Dad just before Thanksgiving on one of my visits years ago. A man approached us and explained how his family needed help. Insread of giving him money, or sending him away, Dad told him to go on into the store and get what his family needed. We would do our shopping too and meet at the front near the check out when finished. It was lovely and the man was so appreciative. I get tingles just thinking about it.
Like you, I still pray for that person and a missed opportunity to show love and gratitude. We may have missed our opportunity but someone else may not have and prayer is very powerful too. There will be many more chances ahead of us, God willing, to show love and gratitude for the blessings of Life.
Eric, you have a heart of pure love more often then not... you inspire me to look for the light within me when the world sometimes feels a little dark. Thank you for sharing yourself here, little brother. It helps.
hugs,
Sandy
If it is any consolation, there arent near as many people who appreciate grapefruit like we do.

[happyrain]

Awe shucks Sandy, wow!
Your Dad set quite an example- thank you for sharing that.

Sometimes the bitter ends up being sweet. A grapefruit is a perfect reflection of the lessons moving through me with the wider intelligence of 222 to carry it wayward!

To our Heart of Hearts- Where we are United in this way, forevermore!

222, as a greater intelligence, continues to work.

I discovered today that Tony, one of our regular customers, ended up purchasing a bunch of ducks for us to give away freely. Tony is in the later part of his life, and some days seem really rough for him. But children absolutely make him happy. He's an old Texan man and laughs while simultaneously calling all those happy children "little brats," but his Heart says that is the source of purity that moves him. His words become endearing.

One day Tony learned of our barter system, where a kid had the idea to trade a duck for another duck. It made Tony so happy, he told me... "I'm going to buy ducks so they don't have to trade- and if anyone ask you tell them, 'this is from Mr. Tony.'"

As I'm setting his duck contributions on the shelves, adding to our collection- the random YouTube mix I had playing landed on something unique
"In the Arms of an Angel."

I look at the time and it was 2:22PM...
The energy of the store needed to be upbeat- so I had to change the song. But I put the song here, to listen to fully, and to document the intelligence of 222 as todays cool prompt.

After changing the song, Mr. Tony of all people pulled up in his work truck.
His nickname of old, according to the boss, is "Tony the Terminator"

In his younger days, he used to be a serious bouncer. But today, I thanked him for the ducks and called him an angel. He didn't think so- but I told him he is an Earth angel, and I appreciate him.

I got chills (of the good time) while reading your post about the ducks and "Termenator Tony." What a lovely and thoughtful thing to do for the children who visit the store. He's definitely an Earth angel wrapped up in tough packaging.
How are you feeling, Eric? Are you still improving and getting stronger?
Sending love...
xxSandy

PS I always loved that song.

Hi Sandy! Yes, getting better God is great
