Remember, whenever I write, I teach myself as well as others. I struggle with this too.

I want to comment about your insight about the Universe responding to our action (or inaction) that results in closing the open communication: I often find that, when things are going especially well for me, it is because I have been very cognizant of the ‘whispers’ and have taken action (or inaction, which is often the appropriate response) QUICKLY. I think the key is to act without hesitation and not let the idea ’simmer’ very long. I sometimes have the tendency to try to “outthink” or analyze these suggestions. Unfortunately, I have done this all too often–stewing about or wondering about the idea ’til it’s’ dead.

Clearly, if you get the idea to call a long-lost friend, you may not want to do that right in the middle of a business presentation or a movie. So, certainly, the appropriate “take action” timeframe is relative, but you get the idea. However, I strongly feel that these ‘whispers’ are insights or guidance or suggestions from Spirit that pertain to you at THAT MOMENT, which means it is usually best to take heed in the same moment.

Conversely, I often find that when I have had a string of “yuk” days or a period of time in my life in which things haven’t seemed to be “right”, I can look back (it always seems to be clear in hindsight!) and realize that I was partially or totally shut off from these ‘whispers from the universe’ …and I can see how my path would have been considerably easier/more pleasant/more productive if I had responded differently. Is that wisdom?

Love your website!
