One of the things that can happen right after a spiritual opening is miraculous things seem to happen.
Now part of this is that your energy of your true nature is freed up and expresses itself.
And I also have a feeling that it's like the universe is trying to encourage us and give us some proof before the ego comes in with its inevitable reaction and try to douse any bigger love and try and make us go back into our what has been we thought is our safe little playpen of perception where our ego tells us we're safe.
Or not really but you know we think we are.
But anyway this is just a story about something that happened right at the beginning of my journey and also the other backstory to it was something really nice had just happened to me prior to this incident and also with my son's healing from leukemia I have a special spot for infants.
I just do.
So anyway I was walking down the street it was sunny day you know I was feeling good and I saw a really well-dressed man holding a baby and he was sort of pounding his back and so hard that the baby was kind of being shaken every time he did and I saw that in a car very nearby was another was a well-dressed woman and she was on the phone both of them looked frantic so I just couldn't walk by so I stopped and said you know you're hitting the baby too hard and the gentleman you know said oh this is what the doctors have said he's got undeveloped lungs and we're supposed to do this so I could understand the idea of you know patting a baby's back I mean this baby was like three months undeveloped three months it was tiny and he was just doing it too hard out of his anxiety bless his heart so I just stood and it at that moment I just felt utter compassion for this little tiny infant that was getting battered unwittingly and this poor dad and mom who were so scared about their child and inadvertently you know he was hurting the baby and it was just this huge pause of this compassion that came up for me like I said it was the beginning of the journey and it just was kind of overflowing from me at that time and all of a sudden this tiny undeveloped three-month old baby that was really like the size of them maybe one month pushed against his father's chest and arched his back and turned towards me and put his arms out I mean it was just it was a level of strength that was seemed impossible to me and you know the baby had felt my compassion and you know babies are like little buddhas they're so aware and I was so shocked I mean I wanted to pick him up but then I thought oh no they'll think I'm kidnapping him if I reach for the baby so I didn't I just kind of smiled you know and walked on because I couldn't start arguing with the dad about that he was hitting too hard so but I kept a prayer going for the baby you know in the years afterwards I've often thought about that child and I had some kind of residual as I guilt kind of as I grew I realized I should have been bold and just reach for the baby but you know I was just too shy and uncertain so in my mind over the years I've just sent love I reimagined myself picking up you know taking the baby in my arms and sent love to that child through the years you know this undeveloped lungs are you know the issue will be one of distrust of life so you know I and you know getting whacked early like that poor baby poor parents it probably didn't go on long but it was pretty stressful for the baby but anyway you know if if we it's one of the things we can do if we've got a residual guilt about something you can send love to the person you can energetically you know apologize and send love or I also imagine myself that I picked up the baby so maybe there's a level that the baby got picked up I don't know it's like I don't know how magical the universe is but what I do know is that when we do something out of love the power is exponential and way beyond anything we could imagine so you know and it all comes back to us you know any love you give comes back okay you know so just keep going bless your hearts thanks for listening.
