coincidences?

[Silver]

If I know I'm going to type a long response, I open an email and do it on there, seems a whole lot less likely to lose it. Then just copy / paste in the response box.

Is/was it a coincidence your whole post disappeared at the last sentence?
The above is how I more or less outsmarted the little devil! ;0}

Yes you're absolutely right. Since then I've been shaking out a lot of old baggage - still got a ways to go, though.

Then we'll see what comes next, eh?

What I'm doing with the more important messages now is to copy the text into a wordprocessor, add the response, finish the formatting and then copy the whole thing into the forum reply. Shouldn't have to do that but needs must when the devil drives!


Not sure about the disappearance of my earlier message - someone goofing about you think? Or just flaky software....

Maybe just testing your perseverance or an energy flucuation. It seems as if you have to go through a complicated process just to reply, so the reply is important enough to you to take the extra trouble.

Maybe that's it. My stance is that when someone has taken the time, and made the effort, to write in response, they deserve my effort in replying.

Actually it's not too complicated once you're in the rhythm and far less complicated than trying to accurately recall what you tried to say originally!

Could be flaky software, but sometimes it seems like the devil, lol.
I think I inadvertently touch a button I shouldn't have on my keyboard.

Could they have brought on the attack in order to take advantage of an advantageous situation? Would they need permission and, if so, how would that come about?

Hello Mac

I would say the while the trip circumstances were not maybe pre planned out to unfold in such a way but more that Angels or Guides or Gaurdians stepped in at the time of need.

There are times when the right person is in the right place at that given time to assist that would not maybe normally be there.

Reading this makes me think on a story I say on TV. There was a much LOVed football cameraman that got knocked out by a player. The team so insisted that he got the BEST of care and tests done to make sure he was fine. With NO symptoms at all when the head scan was done they found a huge Tumor in his brain that if let go 6 more months would have taken his life.

The player that hit him in the same act saved his life. The tumor was removed and he was 6 weeks later back filming the team. I would say it happened for a reason.

Many blessings be given to us so its important to stay pure in heart.

See mac, Lynn has a very valid point also. All unflods as it is meant to .I have had people just mysteriously appear in my life at the edge of desperation and I call them my "angels". At the end of day, though, know that you both were touched in a special way.

Potentially, it could have been arranged.
The person itself does not have to give permission, the higher self can give it.
I cam across a group of angelic entities, my divine self calls the facilitators. They arrange what ever needs to be arranged.
To give a different example, if someone should meet an other person, let's say of the opposite sex, at some point in their life, at a certain place, with a certain marker, which could be anything from a particular dress, suit, hair style
they will arrange that both will be at this place at that time. Whether they will make the move or the recognition will happen depends.
I just want to say, there are entities out there who are just there to bring about what could be called coincident.

In the case you quote above serendipity kicked in with a wonderful outcome. Perhaps it was no more than this in the case I cited?

For it to be more than 'right place, right time', though, active involvement in bringing about an acute attack of pain would have had to happened.

Unusually every point in that part of the trip had had to be pre-arranged, accommodation booked with little chance of re-arranging, every date and place planned for specific reasons for a three week period. All those places were significant in the treatment. Only the pain attack set the wheels in motion.

It could have just been chance, coincidence, that the attack happened as it did or it might have been brought on to take advantage of all the pre-existing favourable circumstances.

Either way it was an intriguing time but if spirit friends were involved in all or just part of the occasion, I'd be interested in learning what folks think the protocols involved might be.
