Signs from the Universe
Put on your seat-belt, this post will get bumpy.
Here is a framework, that can help explain what is happening in your life, in this universe. No, you can’t easily replicate experiments in a lab to prove it.
Yet, that does not make it untrue. Why? Because there is no lab to test if you fell in love with someone. You know it when it happens, and no one else can test for it.
If you are ready to explore a framework, a concept that could explain the unexplainable – open your mind, and your “gut feeling” and read on.
The framework attempts to coalesce a few fields of life observations, into ONE holistic explanation. The problem? Only you can attest for yourself if such things happened to you. And there is no simple way to repeat the same experiment over and over. You can and you should however repeat many DIFFERENT experiments with the same inputs, and see if the output is the same.
If we took a basketball player into a lab, and ask them to shoot 100 free throws/foul shots from the same exact spot – each shot is NOT the same experiment. It is very similar, but if we measured the position of the player down to the atomic level, the experiment is “different” each time. Accept it. We can’t do it exactly the same, but we can use the same inputs, and then measure the output, or result.
How to experiment with the Signs from the Universe?
Concept 1 – Replace your G-d and religion in the experiment with the word “Universe.”
Now, you can use your interpretation of G-d in this experiment. However, to the atheists in the crowd, this is not a hindrance to experiment. Vice versa, if you are religious, you can still interchange the power of your thoughts to the “universe” and the results should be the SAME.
If this is how the universe works, then it should matter NOT who is the seeker of the sign. Much like gravity works on all objects, and not separated by any religion, race, sex etc.
This blog post is meant the skeptics, the atheists, as it has NOTHING to do with religion.
Concept 2 – If there were guardian angles, or existence after death – what form would it take?
Note that the concept is not LIFE after death. The concept is, if there were forces acting in the universe that we simply can not perceive with our senses – what will they be like and why? Thus, it is some sort of “existence” after death, which is not perceived with our eyes, or touch/smell.
You know that our eyes can sense but a sliver of the range of frequencies. You can’t see radio waves, but your are convinced they are there. Same goes for sound frequencies that the human ear can not sense, but your dog can. So for this concept, assume that the energy a person had (we can say their “soul”), was animating a body until their passing.
Batteries have energy in them, until fully depleted. You can see the physical battery, but its energy is gone, spent, not here anymore.
For this experiment, we will assume that living creatures, and human specifically, have an energy in them while they are alive. When they pass, we can see their physical body, but the energy that animated them, is gone, spent, not here anymore.
For the scientists, atheists and logic-oriented readers, you already know about the physics notion for Conservation of Energy. So we will assume the same about the “energy” of a human, and that it goes “somewhere” when the person dies. After all, when a battery dies, it still has “some” energy left, but a minuscule amount that us not usable to animate.
We will assume that our brain is capable of receiving and transmitting electrical energy while we are alive.
Concept 3 – If the universe could communicate with you and give you a “sign” – what form would it take?
If the human body is activated by electrical pulses, then most “feelings” are a result of electrical pulses. Meaning, if you ate some bad food, your stomach senses it, and transmits impulses to the brain to begin the process of rejecting the bad food, or vomiting.
Assume that electrical energy, irritates the Vagus nerve, which in turn signals to the brain that there is a problem – and the feel of nausea begins. That means, that if after death, all there is left is “energy”, and it could somehow trigger the same Vagus nerve in a person – that in principle the person could experience nausea without its OWN body activating this domino effect.
Stay with me, I know this is unproven, but I am trying to breakthrough and provide a thesis as to what could explain the myriad of RESULTS I see in my life journey, and others. Its just that no one wants to put their neck out, in fear of being ridiculed. That is fair game, and yet, if we got more people to experiment with the forces of the universe and study more how it may be actually working – the reward to better humanity is worth the potential ridicule. I would not be the first, nor last to go on a limb with partial proof, to try to illicit more data.
Concept 4 – What kind of a Universe Sign should you request, or be looking out for?
Here is what you should NOT do: ask for a sign that is so random, or common – that it will be hard to connect the dots with cause and effect. If your loved one passes away, and a day a butterfly was hanging around your window… many could/would associate it with a sign from the universe.
I am not going to opine on this, nor claim it is untrue. I will say that without prior request for this specific sign, the cause and effect are hard to “prove.” If anything, it will hurt the chances of getting to unravel what is going on, and fuel more skeptics to say “this is BS.” I think that is fair to say, and should not be contentious. Could it be your loved one? Sure! But that is not how the experiment we are working on here is conducted.
A. The sign you seek should be clear, specific, unique and not a common occurrence. You should not seek a sign based on the sun rising tomorrow… Sorry, that is not going to prove anything.
B. Ask for a sign about a very specific question, that could be answered with a simple yes or no question. For example, when I interview for this job, I would like a clear sign if I should take this job…
C. Leave the universe to provide you the sign it CAN, and not the sign you seek, or specified. As in, you can say “if I am to marry this person, I want to see tomorrow morning on my commute to work a Red Robin on my car.” That may or may not be a sign that is available, and thus, you seal the experiment before it has begun. Ask for a sign that is clear, and let go of specifying the rest. More about that, later no in the post.
D. What you call a coincidence, or synchronicity, is possibly the sign you are looking for. Do not brush off anything, yet. Let the data stream and cross your mind. You will be in a position to tell if something is just a fluke, or if there is more to it. How? Remember how your body knows to puke when you eat bad food? Remember how your body tells you that you are in love and you met a potential soul mate? That is how. Modern humans, who use their logical mind most of the time, ignore and discount their body telling them what is going on. Your gut existed before your brain… so when you get a “gut feeling” – pay attention to it. Its that simple.
Let’s get to work
You have a worry, a question, something you wish to get help from the universe from. You also can suspend disbelief, and assume that people close to you, who wish you well – are around you and can “feel” your needs.
Be verbal, and turn your thoughts to words (giving the same energy more amplification), and verbalize the ask. Not need to yell, just speak it out. To further amplify, write it down in a prominent place on your desk – so it can be projecting its energy, like a billboard.
Forming the specific ask:
“Should I hire John Smith, whom I am interviewing tomorrow at 10am in the coffee shop?”
“Should I marry Jane Smith, whom I am dating for two years?”
“Should I travel to Italy this summer?”
Note, do not add the sign you seek per se. So do NOT say “Should I travel to Italy this summer and if YES, please play my favorite Andrea Bocelli song on the radio on my commute to work tomorrow morning.”
Nope. Let that happen on its own, or any other clear sign that would do the following:
Bring a shiver down your spine. Yep, that is how will know.
Assuming that the forces that can help you with your query, are now exist as pure energy (no body attached). And assume that they can pass through your body, or come in touch with your Vagus nerve, or brain… then at a moment in time they can “press the button” of a positive or negative reaction in your body. Something PHYSICAL and not just a passing thought. Something REAL, that you can feel and experience in the the real world, that is unmistakable.
- Shiver down your spine
- Goose bumps on your skin or Frisson
- Feeling of euphoria that pumps adrenaline/dopamine into your bloodstream
- Sense of illumination, aha moment, Eureka, epiphany related to your question
The silent whisper
Now let’s explore the most common way for the modern Homo Sapien to completely ignore the very sign the universe is providing. Its by not listening to it.
Remember the last time you day dreamed?
What did you HEAR when you day dreamed? Nothing. Silence, the lack of sound in fact. Yet, you could sense that there was a “download” of sorts that occurred even if you could not pinpoint what it was.
You can find your self driving and day dreaming at the same time, and for some strange reason, there is no fear nor worry of a car accident when it happens. Your mind is receiving “something”, even if you don’t hear what it is.
If there are guardian angels, or forces that can help you navigate, their voices are so dim, that you will NOT be able to hear them. They whisper in silence, I know it sounds weird.
With our typical distracted “monkey brain” or “monkey mind” – we have so much noise and distraction that you CAN’T hear the silence whisper. Moreover, when it does make it through, you discounted it as nonsense. See the Drowning Man Joke in the references section at the end, to help you see what ignoring the whispers is akin to.
While it is hard for many to quiet their scattered brain, to get to a calm moment when they can HEAR the silence… pay attention to those silent moments and the insights they leave you with. You are not the same before and after a day dreaming session. Introspection will help you crave the answer you seek, and look for it also within you.
Last words of advice before you begin your exploration
We already covered what are some vague signs, that are not to be confused with signs form the universe.. Because we are busy people, pay close attention to the following occurrences:
1) You bump into a stranger TWICE or more in a close amount of time, as if by chance.
Why?
Just like you have your guardian angels who may help direct you towards the answer, the other person has theirs. So they may find themselves sitting in a place where they don’t know exactly why they picked it… they went with their intuition and gut feel. Yet, those were partly influenced by their signs from the universe, to direct them toward… YOU.
2) Channel surfing on the radio, on TV, doom scrolling? You all of a sudden have a “feeling” to pause and watch something – do it. Don’t analyze, as you may not know what awaits two minutes down this transmission that could be significant. Just, let it be, let your sense of control go, and be in the flow. Surrender yourself to the belief that the universe is trying to help you, to make you shine, to make you successful. Now, don’t be in it’s way.
If the forces work both ways, the live TV announcer may now say something they did not even mean, only to catch YOUR attention. If everything is boiled down to electrical signals, heck, perhaps these energies can also influence an algorythm to go right vs left to serve you some content. I don’t know, but I am not ruling it out.
3) Interact with the world. You can NOT sit in your bedroom and wait for your answer, as the horizon of opportunity will be limited to that which can be signaled to you there.
Sitting next to a “stranger” on a plane? Ask them some basic questions about where are they from, where are they going, and let them speak.
Getting breakfast at a diner? Ask your waitress for her favorite dish and how long has she worked in this diner?
Taking a taxi ride? Ask the driver for their favorite local restaurant and how long is their shift.
You have two ears and one mouth, do the math. Listen twice as much as you speak.
An example of a Sign from the Universe
A father was dying, and his family places headphone on his ears, with his favorite music. It is Paul Simon he loves the most, and by listening to his music, the family is hoping to ease the pain.
The father’s daughter asks the father, that if indeed there is life after death (we will call it existence after death), that she would really would like to get a sign from him. Something unequivocal, and know that he is well.
The father passes away, and no apparent sign is noticed by his daughter.
Months later, she travels to NYC. One evening, a thought comes to her mind, to take a stroll in Central Park. On her walk, she recognizes someone walking towards her. It is Paul Simon.
She braves the moment, and says “May I please take your picture?”
He says, no thank you and continues to walk.
She then utters, “I understand. Just wanted to thank you for the music. Two months ago, my father passed away. He could not speak anymore. So we placed his favorite playlist, of your songs and he smiled – thanks to you.”
Paul Simon pauses, thanks her for this memento from life, and asks “May I take a picture with you?”
Because, who would ever believe this?
