I asked Paramhansa Yogananda and I got a response!

this was pretty interesting.

My good friend was terminated yesterday.  I didn't get to say goodbye, so I reached out to him on Facebook asking what happened.

He didn't reply.  then today, I was mentally visualizing my guru (imagining him in my light field): Paramhansa Yogananda, and I asked aloud, "What will happen to [the name of my friend" and as I asked, literally in that exact moment, I got a message on my phone from my friend... and he said what happened and what he'll be doing next (taking some time off.)

How amazing that I got an instant answer!

Intuition

Two interesting things happened today.

 For the past few days I have been trying to trigger a OOBE while going to sleep.  I have no memory of one occurring, but something odd happened.

First, this morning... I had a "memory" of looking at a computer screen and seeing a profile of someone, like on a social site.  the name read Lakshmee. This person was a Indian woman.  Later in the day I read a segment from a book and in the book a person was mentioned.... a person named Lakshmee!

Second, while at my job, I had a meeting.  As I came into the meeting, I had a funny feeling. I looked around for someone I expected, didn't see them there and felt like they may no longer work here anymore.  Although this person had been with the company for many years, I found out a few hours later that they were dismissed that very day.

Ego in others, the reflection of me.

I recently had the interesting opportunity to meet with a couple of people.  These people I found arrogant, egotistical, frustrating and insulting.  So much attitude was pushed at me.  I could list all the things I went through with these two guys, but I'll just sum it up as arrogance.

I felt frustrated, discouraged and angry at the guys.  Then tonight in a light meditation, I asked God, "Why did you give me this situation?"  and the answer I got was "To humble you."  I dwelt on the answer for awhile and I decided to forgive these two people. When I did, I realized something amazing - what I disliked in them, is the same qualities I have inside myself.

I'm egotistical.  I'm arrogant.  I'm frustrating.  There are people that see me this way.  I've seen myself be like this.  There are some I look down on. Others I am arrogant with. 

I now see this frustrating moment as a golden opportunity to see a reflection of myself.  I now humble myself to others and those around me, and put God first.

Thanks to those mirrors who reflected my own issues back at me, that I could see my own faults.
