Default An affirmation from the Universe?

Recently I have been putting out the intention for the Universe to give me a sign, to show me what my future will be. This was a while ago as well, but I stopped recently in search of a new intention. But today I got a series of positive affirmations about my life that I just couldn't ignore them.

Heres what happened. It started after lunch. I was in Physics, we where getting our results back from some homework we handed in. The teacher, Mr. Nixon, said he wasn't very impressed with our results and he was dissapointed with the standard of answers. I got my homework back and I had 12/12, I didn't really notice it at the time but on retrospect this means to me that even though society tries to generalize you (Teacher saying he was dissapointed in all of us) I am still - I want to say special, but I am not really special, just, more conscious - And that I am destined to do well.

The next weird thing that happened was a Chav (Council House Associated Vermin Source: Urban Dictionary [ No offence to those that live in council house ]
Well this Chav tried to get my glasses, saying, "let me take your glasses, let my wear em" and so on till me and my friend moved to the other bus stop. I am not too sure on the significance on this but it was certainly weird.

The NEXT weird thing that happened, and perhaps the most important thing came in the form a slightly senile old women.
Me and my friend sat in front of her on the bus. She commented on how we are out of school early (TSR week, don't ask) so I explained and suddenly she says, "ohh you've got lovely hair" I smiled and thanked her, then she said, "And your gorgeous too, a handsome young man" I smiled and laughed and said thank you, then it got weird!

She said, "You look too young to be working, but you seem older, yes you look like your on the way, definately, do you want to be one of those Architects? yes you look like a smart lad" I didn't register what she was saying really and just nodded and smiled. We talked a little but it was nothing major. What I really want to draw your attention to is the this line,

"you look like your on the way, definately, do you want to be one of those Architects, yes you look like a smart lad" it was as if she KNEW me, and I had never sen her before, as if she hd been watching me for a long time, And also Architect, it was so random it can't have been coincidence, I think it meant that I could shape the future of my life but I wasn't fully there yet...

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

Generally, when you get several 'oddities' together at once, there's some symbolism behind them.

I think you hit on the grade and the teacher's comments to the entire class...

As for the C.H.A.V. wanting to take your glasses, well, how do you see Chavs? Most people would see them as the unenlightened masses, goofing off without any concern for their lives... in other words, the media-filled society. So, the symbolism behind that might be that society is trying to cloud your vision.

The old lady... Are you familiar with the symbolism behind the Crone? She may seem senile, but that's only an excuse to make you figure out what she's saying, rather than give you straight answers like the other two aspects of feminine divinity would... I leave this part up to you to figure out...

Then again, it could have just been a series of strange events, having no symbolism or relation to your life.

Default I am under the impression that...

everything has its signficance. I would say to keep up noticing coincidence; they are signs from the universe.

Check out Deepka Chopra's book, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire.

Talking

Your experience is a great example of the Law of Attraction in action. You get what you think about.

You wanted signs. You got signs. As you continue to focus on those signs you will create additional signs (weirder still!).

Maybe if you want to know your purpose, you put out the intention, the thought that you would like to know what your purpose is.

Your future will be the thoughts that you are thinking today. The most important thing is that you FEEL good. You want a nice high vibration.

Be the architect of your life. Decide now. In the time between your decision and it's manifestation is when the Creative Life Force is flowing.

Those were some really interesting signs. You are a great creator.
Thanks for sharing!
