Or do you believe everything is happening for us for a reason, giving us signs, and that we just kind of have to open our eyes and our ears to the signs? Or do you think it's both? A good friend of mine used to always say that it is not crazy, it's not coincidence. It is cosmic. And I would roll my eyes, but the more I grow, the more I'm starting to believe it myself

I think that whatever comforts you is what's true in this particular conversation. And believe me, it doesn't go for real facts and real things about news and life and conspiracy theories. None of that works for me. And it's not about what feels good. It's about there are facts. You can follow the facts, or you can just make up facts and then be a horrible person

But anyhow yes, even in my business bio, that is one of the main things I say, and I end with an all bold, is I believe in magic in our everyday life, and I want to show you that that's possible too

Wow. A lot to unpack here. First of all, I'll say Marley, what a great question for me as a person raised in a faith tradition where I grew up with the practice of prayer and I still believe in the power of prayer, believe in a higher power. I do believe in coincidence and I don't believe that there's a higher power guiding, pushing, leaving breadcrumbs for me in the universe. So let me give you an example

I think it's interesting to think about the quantum realm and quantum entanglement. And I hear you. If you think of that person every day and then you happen to see them, then is it really some beautiful moment. However, if you haven't thought about that person in 30 years, you've thought about them that day and then you happen to see them that day. I think there's a little something there personally. So, yeah, I hear you on probability

Yeah, I liked how you such as many workings that we may or may not understand. I definitely agree with this. A mentor of mine always uses the term quantum entanglement. And I think that's like a perfect way to explain it. It's like there's just this invisible web that for all of of the things that we can't explain and we just write off as coincidences. Maybe they're part of that invisible web of everything being linked in some way, shape or form

Hey, Marley, let me let me give a little bit of input in here. I'm gonna try to phrase this in the best way possible. Let's say let's say that there's a force, right? Let's say that there's a force and this is the greater being you're speaking of. And at the same time, I guess you could call its mind some form of its creation, so meaning an extension of itself for himself
But I think there's a very fine line when we start to open ourselves to the idea that it's possible that our higher selves and our guides can communicate with us through those signs. And the more that we do it, and the more that we open ourselves to it, and the more that we pay attention, the more that will start to happen. And wow, it is really amazing when it does
And so that kneejerk response always annoyed me, even though I got better at being patient with people and realizing they were just trying to bring comfort in a hard situation. And at the same time, I believe that we have the power to shift or use things, make things useful. I think that we can learn something from every experience, even horrible ones, as long as we are still able to be here. And we can then take that and count it as a learning experience

So I think there's something to be said about rather than writing it off, choosing to pay close attention and say, okay, my eyes are open, my ears are turned on. What do you have to say? Source. Higher power. God universe. Like, why is this happening right here, right now in my faith? Yeah, thank you so much for sharing. Really appreciate what you had to say on this as well

And in the last year, I was like, you know, I need to start getting excited about those little coincidences again, because when I was so in the flow during that time, I just shared about they were happening left and right, and I was just in pure awe and amazement with life and the universe. And then, yeah, I just lost touch with it, I guess. And this past year I was like, you know, I want to tap into that again

Death and rebirth is just like it's part of nature. The leaves fall every year and then they grow back the next year. And if we look at nature, death and rebirth is just natural. It's what happens. It's what is. But I think humans have a lot harder time with that cycle. And I'm not talking about actual death. I'm just talking about one thing dying. It could be the death of a relationship, meaning you go through a break up

@lehvipearl · 1:51
Absolutely. And I think you're most definitely in the right mindframe in the sense that there comes to a point, I think, for a lot of people that sometimes openmindedness becomes this kind of like concept where you just don't want to offend anyone and and when it comes to that place, it can be really dangerous because then you start believing in everything
But I always was the type of person that would trust but verify. I would like to use that term as well because I don't believe thing coincidence. And what's that other term people use? I can't think of it right now, but it reminds me of a story that happened to me that could only be explained by magic. And I'm glad that this has been brought up. Thank you all. Thank you. Marley
