In the Flow ...

The universe has many ways of showing whether you are in flow with fate or not. Many who engage with this subject know that, for example, certain numbers repeatedly appear, special signs, images, or combinations of all these. However, in this post, I don’t want to discuss numerology or signs, but rather a much deeper way for me: books.

A small insight into what keeps happening to me repeatedly, and has become more frequent again in recent months. Last year I ordered a batch of books again, and two of them were not immediately available, which always seemed to me a sign that there is a reason why I shouldn’t have this book yet, at least not at this exact moment.

I was consciously expecting the first book and immediately started reading, but at some point I couldn’t go on. I had almost forgotten the second book because it arrived only seven months later. When it arrived, I immediately dived into it and finished it in two evenings. Granted, it wasn’t very thick, but still enough material for a week, just because of the content. It dealt with a connection between the Hermetic Tablets of the Rosicrucians and the Lord’s Prayer, which opened up a new horizon for me. Had it come just a few months earlier, I wouldn’t have been able to absorb it the same way.

Shortly before that, I had picked up reading the other book again, but only haltingly. It deals with the explanation of what white and black magic truly mean, explained through true Christian mysticism by Dr. Franz Hartmann, whose works I can warmly recommend to anyone who really wants to engage with magic, especially if they come from a Christian background.

I noticed that I had previously resisted parts of its content, which I only came to fully understand later. But through the second book, I got exactly the access I had previously rejected. Later, I had a wellness weekend where I resolved to finally finish the book. On the last day, I hadn’t finished yet and had to check out, but a meeting was planned there afterward, which is why I lingered by a monastery ruin and exactly had the time to finish reading the book. It again expanded my horizon, and the setting gave it a very special effect.

Afterward, I went to the bus stop to see when the bus would come and still had enough time to go to the spa park to have a little something to eat. On the way, I saw an elderly lady with a special aura standing at a book exchange box. It became clear to me that on my way back, I would have to stop there and probably find the next book for me...

I have now been reading this book for almost two months. For over a week, I have progressed further and planned yesterday to go to the lake to finish the book, but other things came up yesterday. Today I wrapped up a bit earlier and went to the outdoor pool and sauna, of course with the book...

At the end of the chapter, around the middle of the book, a very interesting passage suddenly appears that means a lot to me exactly on this day...

On one hand, it concerns a date that numerologically relates to me personally, and a date of an event connected to the book and what it means to me. The date was August 12, today’s date...
