hi alana, i'm rafaelo, we kinda met this last weekend at apocalypse :)

honor the lowest common denominator.

so you are recognizing a pattern and it's suggesting that you chose a direction. when we reach cross roads it is very rare for a person to know 100% which fork to take, we are split to some degree: 50/50, 70/30, 99/1,... parts of me wants to go left and parts want to go right. if we force ourself to go by listening to or following others, or tossing the dice or flipping a coin, the part of us that does not want to go will alwyas drag their feet and slow us down, reducing the potential that we have to accomplish our chosen goals.

i have learned the value of stopping to listen to each part, each feeling, each sensation of my body, mind and spirit, because they always have something important to say.

this message always comes in one of 2 forms.
1. the part of me that does not want to go is an irrational fear, generally from a previous negative experience that i am transposing on the choice based on a projection into the future. once i uncover this it is a matter of releasing that fear, thus empowering me to go forward and reducing the over resistance that this stored negative energy is draining from my overall being.

2. the part of me that does no want to go is a highly sensative and insightful aspect of my being that can see ahead, project accurately into the future and is trying to tell me that i am heading in a dangerous or undesired direction. this has literally saved my life on more than one occasion and prevented me from unnecesary pain hundreds of times.

the lowest common denominator is a powerful tool fo figuring out which way to go.
good luck to you and blessing on your decision making process.

if you are interested in tools for actually having this conversation with yourself, contact me directly and i will be happy to share whatever would be useful and appropriate.


ps i was born and have lived and travel in peru and know that the celestine prophesy is so grossly inaccurate in it's descriptin of what peru is really like that i do not consider it much more than a fun book to read. if the author had actually ever been to peru he would be more convincing. i would not follow that arrow.
that said peru is a really amazing and magical place but in hmo for many other reasons :)

it sounds to me that you learned something very important at BM; you seem to be seeing and hearing in new ways

would it be any easier if others hadn't let it be known that they too have faced the same decision?

do the people who have been providing the "coincidences" have any common denominators? are they all, for example, highly conscious?

I may know what you're alluding to, but hesitate to guess here. The very fact that the issue has taken on such importance to you indicates that it simply must be addressed. No decision is perfect. Never discount your intuition.
