The universe is always speaking to you, trying to capture your attention and offer guidance, connection, and enlightenment. There are countless signals from the spiritual realm, but are we open to them? Are we paying attention to them? And do we understand what it is we need to look for? When we attune ourselves to the universe's language and how it communicates with us, life becomes less confusing, fostering a deep sense of alignment and connection within us.
However, as we live in a physical reality, we encounter many limitations with receiving signs from the spirit world. These limitations do not allow direct spiritual communications, like big neon signs that flash, "Yes, pursue that opportunity right now!"
As such, we must look at the subtler, less obvious, and more imaginative channels through which spiritual messages present themselves.
Deciphering Spiritual Messages: How the Universe Communicates
The biggest challenge lies in slowing down, adopting a more deliberate pace in life, clearing the mind, and nurturing present-moment awareness to decode the signs that come our way. If we remain ensnared in mental turmoil - worrying, overthinking, rushing, or succumbing to anger and frustration - we risk missing the universe's attempts to engage with us.
Presence, openness, and a readiness to receive insights are essential. Every sign I encounter is a miracle, a direct link to the spirit world. In witnessing these signs, I sense the presence, a guiding hand, and enveloping love - an undeniably miraculous experience indeed.
Many people say things such as, "I'm always asking for signs from the spirit world, but nothing comes my way." My response? "Then stop searching." When you ease into your daily routine, that is when spirit is inclined to reveal signs of their presence or subtly influence your path forward.
Consider your departed relative - let's call him, Gordon Arthur Brown, born in August 1967.
Picture this: you are driving to work one morning, stopped behind a car at a red light in traffic, and the license plate of the car in front of you reads 867GAB, reminiscent of your loved one's initials, month, and birth year.
Spirit can create so many personal moments, ensuring you are in the right place at the right time - sometimes just in time to catch their favourite song playing in a store or on the radio.
Signs can manifest during mundane daily activities like showering, doing dishes, strolling down the street, engaging in a discussion with your partner, or enduring traffic grind.
The setting doesn't need to be spectacular or glamorous for a sign to appear, yet spotting one in these everyday scenarios can certainly elevate the moment's significance.
The instances shared above are merely a handful of examples, but the possibilities are infinite.
My Personal Spirit Communication and Signs with Marjorie Young
I have previously shared my spiritual connection with Marjorie Young. If you are unfamiliar with the story, I encourage you to read about it here.
Back in July 2019, I found myself immersed in online historical research on my grandfather's family history in the Bundaberg region, in anticipation of his upcoming 90th birthday celebration. As someone who has always held a fascination for history - I even used to work within the records and archives department for the local council - this exploration led me to research my grandfather's ties to the local sugar cane industry.
During this search, I stumbled upon a website detailing the history of Fairymead House, a historic residence built by one of the region's pioneering families in the late 1880s, now a heritage-listed tourist site. While viewing the website, I came across an old family portrait of the Young family, dating back to approximately 1913.
At that moment, as my eyes fell upon the faded image, my attention fixated on the young woman positioned at the far right - Marjorie Lucia Young (born January 1897 - passed December 1971). Despite the photo's poor quality, with its washed-out hues and blurry resolution, I felt an inexplicable surge of recognition, much like unexpectedly encountering an old friend after many years apart. There was a distinct sensation, almost as if I had been gently nudged or jolted.
To add to the intrigue, a clear voice spoke in my mind: "Learn how to talk to me."
Since that day, I have been driven by an insatiable curiosity to uncover more about Marjorie's life.
Fortunately, her family's affluent status and pioneering contributions ensured that records and historical archives chronicled their legacy. It is a stark contrast to the fate of many of us from humble backgrounds, whose stories often fade into obscurity over time.
I have since maintained a profound sense of connection to Marjorie, one that defies rational explanation.
Initially, I thought that our shared origins in Bundaberg, our adolescent years spent on the north side, or the coincidence of our birth years ending in the number 7 (1897 & 1977) might be the source of this connection. I have even entertained the notion of a potential past-life link between us, prompting questions about her potential messages or lessons for me.
My mind has been filled with many scenarios, though one particular hypothesis - unsupported by official records but corroborated by various mystical sources - lingers.
What strikes me as most peculiar is the distortion of time's passage when I reflect on Marjorie. The decades from the 1910s and 1920s feel as recent to me as yesterday, and I can't shake the sensation that I could have been present during her lifetime, albeit preoccupied with other things - much like missing a friend's barbeque due to another event.
Despite my rational and logical thoughts, my intuition and gut feelings match with what several psychic readers and mediums have confirmed.
When I was going through this spiritual experience with Marjorie, these two events, which I like to call communication signs from spirit, have remained firmly in my mind.
When I was in a store looking to buy a blue key tag to go with a key I was having cut, I kept thinking over and over in my mind I had to buy a key tag. In the end, I left the store and forgot all about getting that blue key tag to go with my new key. On my drive across town to the supermarket, I kept cursing myself in my mind about how could I be so clumsy about forgetting that key tag and now I would have to get one at another store. I pulled into the car park at the supermarket. It was late in the afternoon and there were plenty of empty spaces. When I opened my car door, I looked down at the ground.
Do you know what was at my feet? A blue key tag. The exact same type I wanted to buy earlier.
The National Library of Australia is located in Canberra. The library holds archives of Marjorie’s family given their prominence to the local industry and its history. My research told me it would be best for me to read these archives to answer some questions I had. To get there from Bundaberg it is two connecting flights between Brisbane and Canberra costing some $800 - $1000 return. This was way too much money for me at that time. Naturally, I resigned myself to not being able to get to Canberra any time soon and I promptly forgot about the matter.
Several weeks pass. I then get an email from American Express. Their email to me was thanking me for being a great and loyal credit card customer. As a token of their appreciation, they presented me with a complimentary return flight to and from anywhere in Australia.
Of course, I took that flight to Canberra and read those archives.
Journeying with Departed Loved Ones in Spirit
Every sign that crosses your path carries a message specifically for you and where you are in life right now, appearing precisely when and where you need it.
Given this personalised nature, signs don't always adhere to a one-size-fits-all approach. It is important to interpret them intuitively, free from the influence of ego and fears.
Persistently seeking signs may yield very little, whereas relinquishing control and embracing relaxation often opens the floodgates of manifestation. Spirit operates beyond our realm of control, anticipating our whereabouts and orchestrating delightful surprises well in advance.
I am not suggesting stopping from seeking signs altogether; occasional inquiries and requests are fine. However, it is much better to release expectations and allow events to unfold naturally. Continuously waiting for signs may block their arrival.
It is also important to acknowledge that departed loved ones no longer inhabit the human realm with us, so don't make any attempts to control their actions or demand their presence. Instead, focus on navigating your journey in this life, remaining receptive to occasional unexpected delights from the spirit world.
If and when you receive signs, resist the urge to dissect and rationalise them excessively, as this reduces their significance. The universe speaks through simplicity; it is our critical minds and egos that seek detailed explanations. Trust your intuition above all else.
Remember, spirit unfailingly watches over you always, offering guidance, protection, and support. Simply remain vigilant for the signs and trust implicitly in the guidance and support accompanying you every step of the way.
