“Thereby failing to acknowledge your suffering,” Phillip said. “Less dangerous events
followed, and at levels of awareness unencumbered by self-involvement, you knew that the Navy
had served its purpose, so you requested and received an early release.”
I hadn't thought of it that way, but it fit.
“Now,” the Philip persona said, with emphasis, “other miracles also took place. Your
shipmate escaped unscathed because his purpose was to ensure you would be found. There was
also a disruption to your energy field that offered us the opportunity to insert a pulse of energy,
which we subsequently used to educate you about the dangers that lay ahead. This type of event
occurs when there is an agreement between the individual and their Source for it creates a point
of change in their evolutionary momentum. There are many stories of individuals becoming
psychically aware through apparently accidental means.”
“Why use a monster wave when a brick to the head would have done it, and left the rest of
me alone?” I said.
“We did not choose to be on that deck.”
“From what Bonnie has explained to me about your abilities, you must have known it was
coming because you used it for your own purposes instead of influencing things so that I
wouldn’t have been there.”
“Were we so arrogant as to interfere with the essence of personal evolution, neglect our
responsibilities, or so cruel as to punish ignorance you would not have survived many incidents.
Yet, you are still here, all be it a little wiser for your experiences, but that too will change.”

Life Strategy
Feeling combatant, I said, “I had an allergic reaction to a cat that drove me from a building
into incoming shelling, and I’ve been saturated, dehydrated, and frozen. Am I missing any more
signs of Intent?”
“You chose your own path. View your experiences in this way, and you'll find purpose
unfolding with the dawn of each day.”
“We stray so often…”
“The design you choose unfolds according to the nature of your beliefs. It follows that even
a conscious effort to avoid challenges will bring you face to face with them.” Philip scanned my
face, “We realize it is difficult to accept how clever you are,” he said cheerfully.
“If my strategy is so good, why do I need your help?”
“The scope of your beliefs is too limited for the time you have left to broaden them on your
own. However, to identify the boundaries of your personal attention is the first step to identifying
responsibilities from which you need not repeat what has befallen you. Continue to trace the
steps that led you to this meeting, and you might see how your strategy was as flexible as free
will, and so precise as to have made your arrival inevitable.”
“They weren't necessarily mine or thought through for that matter.”
“To recall one’s journey is the first step in transforming your apparent errors and successes
into an encompassing empathy for the efforts of everyone’s journey. From this place, recognition
of the awesome forces at your command converts the formerly unremarkable into acts of
creation. What will you create today?”
