Is there something in your life that Spirit seems to use repeatedly to get your attention? For me, Spirit seems to use my car.
The first time I had a psychic reading my grandfather used my car to get my attention and deliver me a message. This week Spirit used my car again. I have a 2011 Subaru Impreza. I LOVE my car. It was time to get my car inspected, but it also needed an oil change, there was a service recall and my rear brake light was out. Most of what I needed done was covered by the dealership for free, but the rear brake light had me a little concerned. It could be as simple as a bulb or it could be a more in-depth fix. I asked Spirit to not have it cost more than I had made from helping at the Enlightenment Expo. It ended up being a bulb, simple fix and inexpensive, but when I set up my manifestation, I forgot to ask Spirit to have my car pass inspection.
Several months ago, I was driving back from a friend’s house and was stopped at an intersection. The car in front of me turned right. I looked left and right and left again. I stepped on the gas to turn right and bam. The car that I thought had turned right had turned and stopped. It had been sitting right in my blind spot. It got out and it didn’t look like any damage had been done to his car and mine appeared to be minimal. The next day I looked, my front bumper had cracked, but it still didn’t look bad. What I hadn’t realized until my car was being inspected was that my passenger side headlight assembly had broken and the bottom of it was missing. Plus, my cracked bumper wasn’t passable. Both needed to be fixed for my car to pass inspection and I needed to get the repairs done soon. My brakes were currently passable, but if I waited too much longer, the brake pads would need to be replaced too. The total cost for repairs would be more than $1,000. What do I do? My manifestation was limited because I focused on what I thought was wrong. It was going to cost me a lot more than I had made. I know nothing about cars. The service advisor said to call them back and let them know how I wished to proceed. They would need to order the parts.
While I was at the dealership, I was reading Everything Is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo. One of her recommendations was to say that when making a decision repeat “Everything Is Figureoutable”. I repeated that mantra as I drove back. I decided to speak with my parents. My paternal grandfather was an auto mechanic and my dad had worked with him for a little bit. My dad searched the internet and found I could a new headlight assembly for $131 as opposed to the $328 it was going to cost me at the dealership, plus he could install it, which would have cost another $128. He started watching YouTube videos on hot to repair a cracked bumper. I purchased the new headlight assembly and it was delivered the next day.
I only drove my car to and from my part-time job and set aside 2 days in my schedule so that he could do the repairs. I set the intention that it would only take a day.
On my way home from work that Saturday I picked up some rear turn lights, but I also needed one for the front. They couldn’t find anything for me to purchase, but they had some out of the package that I could have for free. Score!
On Sunday my parents worked on my car. They installed the new headlight assembly and took off the bumper. They repaired my bumper and replaced my turn signals. My early afternoon my car was done. Monday morning, I went back to the dealership to see if I could get my car inspected again.
So, what did I learn? One. I asked for help. I had people who wanted to help me, but I need to ask for it. Two. I got another opinion. I knew this wasn’t an area that I had any experience in. I needed to brainstorm ideas with someone else and get a different perspective on my problem. There was another solution I needed help to find out though. Three. I had to trust that everything was going to work out. The fear kept trying to creep in that my brakes were going to fail. I had to keep resetting myself and know that everything was going to turn out ok. Four. I needed spiritual help. I didn’t have an appointment at the garage, and if I tried to make one it would be two weeks before I could get back in. I sent spiritual runners ahead to make sure everything would work out. I needed the person that had completed the inspection to be working to complete it. I wanted my brakes to be ok and to not need anymore work then what had been laid out.
The end of the story is that my car passed inspection a week later than expected. The technician was there. I followed my intuitive guidance and got it done. It cost me less than $150 to get my car fixed as opposed to more than $1,000. My car doesn’t look perfect. I have red primer on the passenger side of my bumper, but it is drivable and passed inspection. My car is 9 years old. I don’t love it any less than I did a week ago. It isn’t perfect, but it does get me where I need to go. What more can you ask for?
