Greetings, Gifted Reader!
Last month, Gypsy Stars discussed the meaning of coincidences. So, in this posting I’d like to present this question: “Are you a sender or a receiver?”
Senders have the ability to consciously, or unconsciously, send messages to others and elicit responses. For instance, say you’re casually shopping at your local co-op grocery when you suddenly realize you’ve forgotten to turn off the teapot. Although you had plenty of water in it when you set it on the stove, you’re certain that by now the water has boiled away and your house is about to burn down. Rushing though the checkout and into your vehicle, you speed all the way home worried sick the entire time over that teapot. After what seems like an eternity, you screech into the driveway. Leaving your groceries behind, you burst through the front door and stumble into the kitchen, only to see the teapot still sitting on the stove, but with the burner miraculously turned off. As you puzzle over how that could be, your mate walks into the kitchen, notices your bewilderment, and asks what’s wrong. Breathlessly, you begin explaining how you believed you left the teapot on while he nods vigorously.
“You know, it’s the strangest thing,” he says. “I was going to stay late at work today, but I suddenly got the urge to leave early. I guess we’re lucky that my job is only a few blocks away from the house. The water had almost boiled away when I walked in.”
In this scenario, you are the sender emitting an urgent message to the cosmos. Your mate is the receiver, somehow picking up on your thoughts and, better yet, responding to them.
If you pay attention to your psychic senses, and take notes, you’ll discover many instances where you’ve sent or received telepathic messages. Most of us tend to be one type—sender or receiver—more than the other, although you can be both at different times. It can be a little complicated to figure out which one you are, so I’ll describe several experiences that occurred to me on a recent out-of-town trip.
On my first day at an industry conference, I was drawn to sit near the back on the east side of the room. I didn’t know why, but I tend to go with my intuition and that’s where some part of me wanted to sit. The room soon became crowded with over 100 attendees.
Directly to my left, on the floor, sat a young man. Suddenly he said, “I know you”. I was trying to place him when he told me that I had written about him once for an industry publication. He then positioned himself to sit directly in front of me, and we began chatting. When the young man mentioned that he wanted to work in the Caribbean, the gentleman in front of him turned around and suggested he try the islands where he lived. Immediately, I realized that I had spoken with that gentleman—from the islands—on the phone that very morning. After I introduced myself and reminded him about our earlier phone conversation, we laughed about his ending up sitting two rows directly in front of me. Then, a lady arrived. The room was packed and there was nowhere for her to sit, so the young man in front of me—the one who remembered me writing about him—asked someone two seats to his right to move his bag so the lady could sit there. She declined and started to walk away, but the person moved his bag and she sat down—in front of me and to the right of the young man I had written about. The panel discussion led to a Q&A, and the lady in front of me immediately stood up and was handed a mike. When she introduced herself, I was floored. I had been in touch with this lady by email and phone for over two weeks, but hadn’t recognized her because her online photo looked completely different than she did. After asking her question, she sat down and I patted her on the back. When she turned around, I pointed to my name badge and we both laughed.
In this scenario, I believe I was the receiver with the first young man and the sender with the second gentleman as well as the lady. I was drawn to sit in the corner because I must have picked up that someone familiar was there. Then, I drew the other two to me.
On that same trip, I traveled by public transportation to another part of the city. As I rode a bus, I noticed a woman with her son. Something about her seemed familiar, so I asked her name. Sure enough, she was an acquaintance I used to be in frequent touch with. I hadn’t seen her or her son in about eight years. They both looked so different from the way I remembered them. In fact, the boy is now a teenager and was only about nine when I last saw him. I would have never guessed he, or his mother, would look the way they do now. I might have missed out on reconnecting if I hadn’t asked the woman her name. In this case, we both ended up on the same bus at the same time in a major metropolis with numerous bus lines. It’s hard for me to say who was the sender or receiver here, but I believe she may have been the sender as I had no real agenda to be anywhere at any given time while the woman and her son were on their way to an appointment. She might have been sending out a message of urgency since they needed to be somewhere at a particular time. Somehow, I picked up on it and got on the same bus they were already traveling on.
Again on the same trip, I had dinner with a lady who was introduced by a mutual friend. She and I had never met before. During our very pleasant meal, I realized I had been a frequent patron at a club where she once worked. The lady then asked me about one of the managers whom I barely remembered. I hadn’t seen him in over a decade. Several days later, another friend and I went for a walk on the boardwalk where vendors sell merchandise. As we stopped in front of a booth, the proprietor looked at me and said, “I know your face. You used to come to my club.” It was the same man my dinner companion had asked me about.
Now, this one is complicated as it involves the lady I had dinner with, the man she asked about, and the friend who accompanied me on that walk. Can you guess who the senders or receivers were here? Drop me a line at gypsystars@me.com with your best guess.
The funny thing is that whenever I mention incidents like these to my friends, they say the same thing: “That stuff always happens to you.”
Why don’t you try it? Consciously practice sending your messages out in the Universe and see if you get the responses you desire.
