I received a call today. At the exact time when I needed it the most. What was told to me was exactly what I needed to be reminded of.

I truly believe in synchronicities. I do not believe that things happen in a random way. I believe that everything exists within a very intricate velvet web of consciousness. This web connects us all, connects all sentient beings, which of course is everything since there is no such thing as inanimate thing in the Universe. Everything vibrates, everything is alive. Air, water, your heart and the rock upon which we stand.

I truly believe in Universal laws, which define the quality of this omni-present consciousness, out of which everything arises and to which everything comes back to. The most notable one for us is the Law of Free Will. And I mention this one because I don't think that most people grasp it in its entirety.

What law of free will says is really that whatever is happening to you cannot really happen to you unless you have not consciously or unconsciously chosen so. The key word in this sentence is "unconsciously". We think we did not chose to be poor or miserable. But at some point of our journey beyond our memory of this life and time, we did. Or it might as well have been result of our thoughts and actions that sabotage what we really want (love, health, happiness & prosperity) but do not really emanate by our being. Ever heard of lack mentality? Or blame? Or victim identity? There go the culprits of most of the human misery.

Nothing is random. Or maybe this whole universe is random. But Universal laws exist. And one that talked to me today is the very fundamental one:

Universe is talking to you in every moment. You just need to listen

Also: the message is not to bring you down, but to wake you up, to make you remember who you truly are and march in your greatest fearless glory. It's a tough one, I know, especially when everything seems to go wrong.

But even there, in that wretched miserable time, when you just wanna curl up and forget it all, the Universe whispers in your ear and through the circumstances you brought upon yourself: You are loved. In every moment. And your happiness and fulfillment is here, in this moment, if you just chose to let go of past, and change the actions and thoughts now. In this very moment.

And so I am finally getting to the point where I received the today's phonecall. I wasn't in the best mood to be honest. Too distracted by markets of all sorts (crypto, gold & silver, junior miners, ETFs etc.), feeling like I am betraying my life purpose, but not having enough resolution to just drop all of it, switch off my browser and pick up the brush.

In that moment, phone rang and a friend who I have not talked to over a year called. He bought one of my paintings last year and called me to share the excitement that he is finally getting it stretched on frame (I send him a roll of canvas, since the painting was too large to ship it for small money). I shared a bit my frustration of lack of focus, and he told me straight away- drop the markets, let the do their own thing , and just paint. Forget it all and follow your passion. This world needs your talent, not your trades.

Of course I knew he was right. But sometimes you really need to hear it from someone else.

30 min later my framing guy texts me that I have a delivery of 8x6 feet frame which I was anticipating for 2 weeks already - ready to receive a massive piece of blank canvas on top. As if Universe was giving me another sign. And that's what I did, listening to the call of my heart, I put my hands to work. It is not a small task to stretch a canvas on frame of this size, and prime it. It should be ready tomorrow.

If you're not sure what to do because everything just goes wrong- stop and listen. You will eventually hear the call from the right place, which will give you the right guidance.

The painting that I feature in this blog (wolf) is the one that my friend who called me today bought. It is called "Winter silence" and it's strangely related to what I said, because it's only in silence you can really listen. When you have too much noise in your head, the messages of Universe are not coming through.

Thank you for reading!

May your day/night be blessed,

Much Love,
