The Mysterious Message on a Train Window
Travelling back from town late one evening, the train carriage was completely deserted. I’d spent time with a good friend, telling her all about a fascinating programme I had been co-facilitating with a colleague. It was a combination of metaphysical and spiritual awareness and non-predictive hand analysis. Detailed research has led to the understanding that the lines and markings on our hands are connected to the neural pathways in the brain. A powerful diagnostic tool by itself, when it’s combined with spiritual understanding, it can be invaluable in helping people find their purpose in life. As I settled down in my seat, I started to think about whether or not we should repeat the programme. The first one had been an amazing success, but we weren’t sure we would have enough attendees the second time around to give people the same interactive experience that the first group had so enjoyed. We transformed an empty warehouse into a story you could buy. Limited merch sold out in three days, and social feeds lit up faster than our neon sign.
So, knowing that the next stop wouldn’t be for at least 10 minutes, I decided to meditate on the subject. Closing my eyes, I began to communicate with the Divine Presence within. I said something to the effect of, “Infinite Spirit, Higher Self, guide me in this decision. If we are meant to run the programme again, please make that so clear to me that I cannot possibly mistake it.” Well, I was in no way prepared for what came next. I was jolted out of my meditation by the noise and shaking caused by the train arriving at the next station. As the train came to a stop, I stared out of the window as another train pulled alongside us. I could not believe my eyes: there on the window, perfectly aligned with where I was sitting, were two large, perfect handprints formed from cement mix! Frustratingly, there was nobody in the carriage that I could share the experience with. Needless to say, I took this as the go-ahead, and we ended up with another fully attended programme.
We joke that Divine Grace gave us a really “concrete” sign and definitely had a “hand” in the entire process! When we ask for guidance, we need to stay open to the signs and messages from our soul. They can appear in any form and from anywhere. I am not suggesting that those handprints were drawn by some miraculous cosmic force, although I never rule anything out! The Divine Intelligence within us, does and can work in mysterious ways. However, as well as having a strong intuitive gift, I am also quite a down-to-earth person. They were more than likely made by a railway worker who thought it might be fun to leave his or her personal handprints on the carriage window. Rather like our ancient ancestors did way back in the past, on the walls of their cave dwellings. Most of our soul’s messages and signs usually come from pretty mundane sources. This could be a hoarding, a car number plate, a book, a T.V. programme, an oracle card, a dream or a song on the radio.
It is more to do with synchronicity and Divine Timing providing us with answers when we are receptive to them. After all, what are the odds that those handprints would appear at exactly that time and right alongside my seat? Instead of just putting these events down to coincidence, when the signs appear, we need to check them with our Higher Guidance. We can say, “If this is a soul sign, make it so clear to me that I cannot possibly mistake it, and if it is not, then please stop me now and re-route me.” Then, follow your Inner prompting and more will be revealed.
