“Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.”
—Will Rogers
I am often amazed at the lengths to which the Universe will go in order to teach us a particular lesson. Take humility for example…

By Michael Avery, Featuring Carl Jung, from Seven Signs from the Universe, by Michael and Pichaya Avery
In his 1952 paper, Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle, Carl Jung proposed that hidden messages could be found when properly interpreting the connection between uncommon events and the person experiencing them. (This is Waking Dreams 101: What was the person thinking at the time of the experience? What was the present focus of their life?)
These meaningful coincidences, Jung suggested, were not coincidental at all, but symbolic messages coming from “something” working for our benefit.

When Lin Buer received word that she’d been offered a Human Resources Manager position at a hotel/restaurant in Talkeetna, Alaska, she was living in Kansas with her husband, Bruce. Such a long move would take some planning as well as some inspired packing. But, finally, they were ready.

from The Golden Book of HU, pp. 76-77, by Michael and Pichaya Avery
“The only way out is through.” It was the answer from the Inner Teacher, who appeared in a vivid dream one night in response to my request for healing. I had poured out my heart to the Inner Teacher expressing what had been troubling me for several months prior to this powerful dream.
The chronic depression, challenges with relationships, and suffering from Bulimia that I had been experiencing for over a decade, had become overwhelming. Twice before, I had entertained suicidal thoughts. Reaching my limit, I wished to leave this earth forever.

In a world that constantly demands adaptation, spiritual reinvention offers a deeper kind of transformation—one that begins within. It’s not about changing your beliefs or adopting new rituals for show. It’s about realigning your everyday life with the spiritual truths that guide you as soul. You are Soul! The body is only an outer garment we wear while living here in the physical!

from Seven Signs from the Universe, pp. 139-141, by Michael and Pichaya Avery
Dennis Ernst had been living in the little town of Ashland, Oregon, for eight years, but his dreams were showing him that a change was coming. Soon, he would be leaving the area. He enjoyed his work as an engineer in the small town amongst all the wonderful people who made up the artsy, tourist community. Dennis had learned that windows of opportunity are often brief, so he would need to pay attention if he was going to transition easily through this change.

Guest Post by Dennis Ernst
Life is constantly pushing us, pulling us, our attention dragging us on like chasing a mirage across an endless desert—always just beyond reach, shimmering with false promises.
Is there ever a moment where the action stops, and clarity, peace, and calm emerge? Is there really a place of not doing, simply being at rest?

This poem announced itself with three short words – “more than enough.” When that phrase landed I stopped everything, sat down, and listened for the “rest of the story.”
Perhaps the reader is familiar with similar feelings; the creative opening that appears where one chooses a response designed to provide pragmatic insight and the dynamic flow of creative empowerment.
I invite you to “listen” then celebrate this age old truth: when we’re aligned with love each of us automatically realizes we are “more than enough.”

From Seven Signs from the Universe
by Michael and Pichaya Avery, pp. 115-118
Catherine lived in a high-rise apartment in downtown Cleveland and owned a ’95 Mercury Grand Marquis. She rarely drove it, since many shops and attractions were within walking distance, some inside her own building. Catherine always placed her keys in a special place, all by themselves, in a bronze dish located in the entry.
One day, she was passing by the dish and happened to glance down. To her dismay, the keys were not in the dish. After searching each room in her apartment thoroughly, her heart sank.
