So beautiful, Guy. I also loved that post of Sarah's. And your synchronicities gave me goosebumps too. I'm glad you're a harbinger of karma, of everything turning out perfectly.
Gracias. I'm so happy for you that you got goosebumps from these synchronicities. With Louisa in the hot springs, the conversation was heart-to-heart, and her life energy was so affirmed by our encounter and exchange.
And, just to be endless about endlessness of synchronicities, I went looking for a draft email. (I use drafts as a kind of storage/notes place when transitioning information from mobile onto computer.) I saw a subject line for one in April I had no idea what it referred to. It was a photo of a mini book that, at the time was a synchronicity because I found it 15 minutes after leaving a barber-shop. Now it connects with the theme of this essay and the presence of the Rumi poem.
My synchronicity substack essay I wrote today just got a bit more strange. I found an old photo I took from April from a small book that a opened by chance to a page, by chance, that begins with "The first time the barber spoke to the baker's wife, it was in verse:
"One dies by chance
But with you
If death is like you
Take me."
Oh! The title of the book is 'Death and Apparitions'.
I may edit my essay! LoL! So funny, this life. Again, thank you.
Really? LOL! Well, I've done the edit already. I'll think about a new post.
And I also have a preference for Hafiz to Rumi. I had a lovely Hafiz collection that got 'dumped' in a used bookstore on the aperighraha path into the spiritual journey.
I’m headed to the beach for a week, so hopefully I’ll have some time to write. Wish me luck...all three of my brothers and their families will be there. We are the only anti vaxxers lol...and oddly enough, the healthiest 🤔
Best of luck. 🤔 Yes, it is odd, isn't it, who is healthy. My friend Rick's fully jabbed friend is coming down to visit, with accelerated health decline and near total immobility shortly after injections. Hmmmmm. Very odd, indeed. 🤔 Ah, life does have a funny sense of humour.
I have to report that Medical Michael had a markedly different tune today. He was interested in the "woo-woo" DMSO/CBD cream that I make...and then...wait for it...ADMITTED IT WORKED after I used it on him!! So the trip is off to a remarkable start.
However, another brother (Dirty Dave who is not dirty at all), was ready to argue that censorship (a) is warranted to keep the idiots that aren't smart enough to think in check and (b) didn't happen with social media and our government.
Phew. That was a hard one. Luckily he said to send it to him because he hadn't heard anything about it. Which is shocking....AND...I was like so did you hear that Elon bought Twitter? Of course he had. Strangely, he had heard nothing of the Twitter file drop that happened....so I'll be sending that along directly. Wish me luck lol!
At any rate, Medical Michael is usually the sticky one for me...and we started off on a great note. Outlook is good for the week!
Wow, that is amazing in two completely different ways. MM's conversion is wonderful. DD's blindness to, and questionable intelligence in defending, censorship is ... [headshake]. No great adjective. On the positive side, maybe, did he *ask* to see the twitter files? Or are you being pushy? If he asked, that is a huge step forward. Curiosity is that which opens the mind.
And completely off topic. I may include the following in my upcoming essay. A rather curious set of synchronicities happened in the last couple of days. Not goose flesh inducing, and yet just so OMG, the Universe has a sense of humour while suggesting where our perceiving is becoming, maybe, more accurate.
2023.06.23 Friday.
Synchronicity.
I finished Simon Borg-Olivier 80 minute Yoga Session F-3-b 5DF Part 6 TrikParsVirPashPurvPMehMay for the first time in over a week. And then a 12min long ek ong kar and a 30min Kirtan kriya. Then I turned on Stone’s Hatha Yoga (1) “During a 5-day intensive Michael explores key terms from a 15th century text on yoga and talks about mental habits”
I resumed the podcast from when I stopped it a few days ago at ~21:45. Stone describes ‘mayurasana’. I didn’t know what that it was. He describes it as putting hands on floor, then elbows into abdomen then stretch out like a stick. Then he says it is the peacock pose (https://youtu.be/ASNK54226ts). Yesterday there were many peacocks at the Hotel Villa Montecarlo we had gone to in order to soak in the hotspring pool there.
During today’s yoga, above, I fully completed it for the first time in a week. It closes with a one-armed versions of that pose, although Simon does not name the asana.
Then Stone says that this is good for upset stomach. Both Janice and Rick (my current hosts while I visit Ajijic Mexico) had serious upset stomachs with diarrhoea all morning. It turned out to be not the food or the water, though, because I’m perfectly fine even though I ate the same food.
And then Stone mentions that he saw a picture of Pierre Trudeau in this pose at his cottage. Likely from the 1970s, the ex-prime minister and official (not real) father of current prime minster, Justin Trudeau. This morning Laura sent me an email, with the subject line ‘Trudeau’. (It was a link to the possible criminal charges that could be brought against Trudeau for interfering in a criminal investigation in 2019 on behalf of SNC Lavalin, a giant company and contributor to the Trudeau and his political party.)
And, finally, yesterday when Rick and I finished the termal (hotspring) and were changing, we talked about this strange time of covid being a kind of clown world. Rick talked about being asked, forcefully and in a bullying manner when he was young, about why he didn’t want to wear a clown outfit. For some reason, he was made to feel that there was something wrong with him because he didn’t to. It was a good discussion about the bully culture forcing people into crazy things like trans surgeries of children. Rick wasn’t sure that that was even happening it seemed so crazy to him, like a crazy clown world.
We left and on the way out I did short detour. Because of that we missed the bus — we saw it drive past us from the wrong side of the street. And though we ran and yelled, the driver didn’t stop it. We got the next one, and wow, there was a clown doing a show on the bus. And the clown was androgynously attired and made up.
That is the 2nd clown ‘synchronicity’ for me in a few weeks. After it being persistently promoted ‘for me’ by Youtube for more than a week, last week I opened a video on the psychology of the fool. In it it that looked at clowns as part of the expression of that psychology. The next day I saw a clown come into the bus I was on. That was the first time I had seen a clown on a bus in Mexico, despite many many bus trips and being in Mexico since Feb 2022.
I read this aloud to my partner and his son as we drove to lunch yesterday, and the goosebumps got us all. I managed to read Rumi's beautiful poem, but not without a catch in my throat and a tear.
The beauty of synchronicity...thank you for sharing our experience. I find your eloquent voice and insight so comforting. Among all the synchronicities, it is no surprise that the words that found you were Rumi's.
Wise, beautiful and full of love...which is exactly how I would describe you.
Hello, Sarah. I am so touched at how this affected you and your family. Thank you for sharing this, it is powerful and touches my heart and spirit.
And the synchronicities are endless. Several more today, including seeing a clown on the city bus we caught today as a Universal sign of confirmation of the cabal and their failure.
I am glad you found this somehow. I'll check to see if you haven't replied to this in a couple of days.
Yes, the trip has been a *trip* for sure. A very strong spiritual exploration in so many ways. And I've been challenging my hosts, both of whom are on the spiritual quest at a deep level following the covid ass-kick get our butts-in-gear time we are in.
I have been busy, and so haven't come back to our dialogue and exploration. I'm likely to be busy for the next while.
You are in my prayers and thoughts! We'll continue to learn and grow together!
All the best, with peace, respect love and gratitude.
My joy and pleasure to have you included in my circle of loved ones. From our conversations, that is how I feel about you sharing this life together.
I'm still very busy and so I'm not writing here as much. We'll see how that changes, although I'm scheduled to be here for another 2 weeks to get amazing energy treatments and clear out misplaced feelings of lack of worth and of residual sadness. Tonight I did a 75 minute breath technique to help clear trauma that seemed to work because the discomfort I've been feeling in my shoulders the last few weeks went turbo charged on the process, and became amongst the most painful of all my physical experiences. And so I had the perfect opportunity to practice noticing it with love, giving it the freedom to clear out. That took a long time, and then pretty much cleared. Now the discomfort is back a little bit, and a tolerable level.
This process of a spiritual journey while living in the nitty-gritty of life is an amazing and fascinating and powerful process.
So beautiful, Guy. I also loved that post of Sarah's. And your synchronicities gave me goosebumps too. I'm glad you're a harbinger of karma, of everything turning out perfectly.

I may edit my essay! LoL! So funny, this life. Again, thank you.
Don't edit, that deserves a new post. With pictures! OMG what a great little stanza.
And I loved the Rumi. I'm a Hafiz gal all the way but sometimes I make room for Rumi ;-)
Really? LOL! Well, I've done the edit already. I'll think about a new post.
And I also have a preference for Hafiz to Rumi. I had a lovely Hafiz collection that got 'dumped' in a used bookstore on the aperighraha path into the spiritual journey.

I'm not sure why I'm not receiving your posts. I need to check my settings.
Peace, joy and many blessings to you.
