I had an experience that knocked me flat on my butt yesterday.
The night before last, I was meditating before bed, and I asked a question directed towards the higher Intelligence that I know is present in my life. I asked "Please help me find a way to make a tangible connection between my spiritual wisdom and the people I come into contact with everyday. I want to help these people come to realization by merge this wisdom into my everyday life to become more able. Give me the opportunity." I repeated it several times before I fell asleep.
I don't remember any dreams, but the next day at work during break, I was sitting at the break table along with two of my co-workers, who were talking to eachother while eating. I had a cup of ice water in front of me and on a whim, I began blessing it with the techniques discussed in this thread. I placed my palms around the cup and cleared myself for divine love to flow. I directed a thought upwards: "allow the highest gift to come about for this water". As usual, the sensation of love pouring through me became stronger than normal (this is almost impossible to describe). And as I was slowly closing the connection, about 15 seconds later, my co-workers noticed me sitting there smiling at this cup of water.
One of them, A, was amused and asked "Are you praying??" then caught herself and apologized if that was offensive, remarking that she often doesn't think before she speaks. I laughed and reassured her, then told her that I wasn't praying, but hold on a moment and she will see. Then I got another of the same cups and filled it the same way with ice and water from the tap. Then, I went off to do a quick errand for a couple of minutes to allow the new water to sit and maybe let all the air bubbles out so my "experiment" would be more controlled.
After I got back to the table, I brought both cups of water to A, making carefully sure to keep track of which one I had blessed. She was still curious. I asked her to just humor me and drink the water and see which one tastes better, letting her know I didn't put anything in it. haha I gave her the unblessed water first and she drank, noting "It's just regular." I drank after her to test for myself. Then, I gave her the blessed water, fully expecting her to say "It's the same." or something to that effect. But when she drank the blessed water, she got this funny look on her face and you could really tell she was surprised (I was too!). She said "This one tastes better!"
The other co-worker witnessed this. They then of course wanted to know what I had done to that water to make it better. At that point, astonished as I was with myself, I told them that I blessed it. They wanted to know what religion I was. The logical part of their brains in full swing I can imagine, wanting to know which of the religions could produce such a tangible "miracle" and file that information away. I told them that I'm not any religion, just deeply spiritual. Of course, just from knowing me and being around me a lot, they knew I'm spiritually inclined.
But the link is now made! If that isn't a clear message, then I don't know what is!
