It happened when I was in the shower. While I was totally chilling under a warm shower the words started to be written across space under my closed eyes, till I could read them clearly. ‘Why the Phoenix Rose…’ – it was happening again I knew instantly. This time however it was a Eureka Moment, since I was in the same state as Newton had been when he ran out.
The title for my second book came to me pretty much like this when I was sitting in a class. I mentioned at the end of that book ‘Don’t Cry When I Die…’ that I am aware that I am channeling now. Messages from God, Angels, Masters, Spirit Guides and Higher Selves. I am open to this already wondrous journey becoming even more wonderful as now it is sprinkled with unconditional love – this was the missing ingredient in my lives so far. It’s magical when it comes into play – unconditional love makes the world just a little bit better.
Back in the shower, when the words had become clear enough for me to read them, I asked ‘Is this my next book?’ I am already on my third one called ‘From Preying to Praying’ and so this was slightly confusing to me. The third book title is a kind courtesy of my first boyfriend the one who was hit by me where no man should ever be and this episode was mentioned in my first book ‘SO BE IT…’
Everyone knows him as R’joe - a name I call him very fondly since the day I met him. I still love him after 25+ years of knowing him and 22 years of breaking-up. Most people do not understand how it is possible to do that. I never felt the need to explain to anyone and so we just continue to be great friends even though I have been out and about many times with people he did not approve of. After all he is the only relic I have, having known him since I was just about 16 years old.
So R’joe told me to change the title of my third book ‘From Corporate Talk to Spiritual Walk’ to ‘From Preying to Praying’ and for old times’ sake I did that. Old clothes have a very worn-in appeal to them and I can let him hang quite close to my skin – as a T-Shirt of course!
The shower continues to pour on me and then came the reply ‘21 Women are writing it and you are publishing it’. Okay so now it’s clear to me. This is my publishing venture. So far I have published two of my books and one book of mom’s poems (she has been writing for 40 years or more) is due this month.
I never question these messages and as such am a very trusting soul and now I simply DO what is told. This again is a new quality. And I have previously been the deeply investigating types – every word, every action (more mine than others’) was always analyzed thoroughly before it could pass my know-it-all-mind. Not anymore. Let it flow is the new theme. And the showering continued uninterrupted.
Later that day I was wondering why these Eureka Moments happen in the shower or on the pot. Have you noticed it? Some research later I figured it is because that is the time we are naturally open to receiving as we are ‘letting go’ of all the dirt and the crap, quite literally.
In a sense there is a space created within us to take in more because of the releasing and our sub-conscious mind is keen to feed us with good thoughts and smartly enough has figured out that this is the best time to send the inspired thought, the brilliant idea, the answer that you were looking for, the key to open all vaults and so on and so forth at this time. The only challenge with the sub-conscious mind is that it is so ethereal and fleeting that it is rather difficult to hold onto and these thoughts vanish as soon as they come.
Holding on to the thought seems to be a challenge when we receive them in these confined spaces, as the attention at that time is on which shower-gel would I like to lather up this morning? Strawberry or Peach? Or perhaps because OUR FOCUS is on letting go, and the sub-conscious mind is eager to seize the moment and fill us up with good thoughts before we head for the breakfast to fill in more food. For the sub-conscious mind THOUGHTS is FOOD, for the human body FOOD is what smells heavenly and you can taste it and touch it and bite into it and then burp it and the next day can let it go – so that more can come in.
And the sub-conscious mind knows that if the golden moments are missed then another 24 hours will have to go by before this can be repeated again till one day the human listens to those higher thoughts - what we can say are Eureka Moments.
For the sub-conscious mind the lesser thoughts you have the better the connection to the Source, for the human the most important thought is what should I eat next? (This topic itself has enough food for thought, and will be part of another blog soon).
So in the battle of the subtle mind and solid food we opt for the food, and there goes the million dollar idea. Farther by another day...
I am so glad I have started listening to the inner voice and a handy recorder by the shower serves me well as I let go and receive inspired messages at the same time. I can have it all.
Any inspired thoughts? If you say yes, I’ll know where you are right now. Chances are I will be right!
Playing with the mind (your own not others'), is a beautiful and ceasing to entertain kind of game. Think about it. Funnily enough only when you let go the thinking, which means you are doing things sub-consciously, does the Eureka Moment arrive…
Eureka to you!!!
Inspirationally yours,

P.S. Do you have a hot spot for inspired thoughts ?
