My Speedometer

So I was driving along in my very old car.  The speedometer hasn't worked in a few months.  The speedometer needle - it's an old car, no digital readouts for us - was pegged at below zero (i.e., it had wildly spun around all the way past 120mph and stuck down underneath 0 when it stopped working.)  As I was driving I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be great if my speedometer worked again?  That would be really great.  And safer, too.  I wonder how much it would cost to fix my speedometer?  I don't know much about how speedometers work - I wonder if it's hard to repair one?" 

I noticed the needle moving a little bit, just a little wiggle even though it was still pegged below zero.  I thought to myself, "It really might be in the best interest of myself and others if my speedometer worked again."  Can't hurt to ask, right?  There was some magic in the air...

So I said aloud a few times, "Archangel Michael, it would be really great if my speedometer worked again.  If it's in the best interest of others and myself, it would be great if my speedometer worked again."  At this time, my speedometer needle was wiggling a little bit and then suddenly dropped to read approximately 80mph (I was going about 35mph).  The needle stayed in that area and I noticed that it would react opposite to my speed - in other words if I went faster, the speedometer read slower and if I slowed down the speedometer read faster.  Despite this strange behavior, I considered this significant progress :) 

As I experimented with my gas pedal (slightly :) to see how the speedometer reacted, I said aloud, "Archangel Michael, I know that anything that is in the best interest of myself and others can be manifested.  I know that this is possible and I know that if it is in the best interest of myself and others that my speedometer begin working again, that it can happen.  I know that I can manifest anything that is in the best interest of myself and others and I thank you for this awareness."

As soon as I said this the speedometer needle dropped to an accurate speed and remained accurate, tracking my speed correctly and reading, at least approximately :), correctly.  Wow!  Pretty cool in my book...  This whole "repair" took about 10 minutes, I would guess - quicker than a mechanic, I'll bet.

So I guess that Spiritual Foraging is also about experimentation to me.  What the heck, right?  Why not ask an Archangel to fix my speedometer?  My learning is to always ask, remember that anything in the best interest of myself and others can become real, and always say, "Thanks!"

What is Spiritual Foraging?

To me it is Conversations.  Conversations with Nature, Human Guides, Arch- and Other Angels, Ascended Masters, Horses, Dogs, Cats, the Wind, God, Wild Creatures, Skeptical People, Spirit Guides, Birds, Reiki Guides, Other Foragers, Stones, Cars, Feathers, Plants, the Seasons, Guardian Angels, and Myself, among others...  Listening and hearing, questions and answers, giving and receiving.
