The "Post the 6th photo from the 6th folder" Challenge - We Got 666!

This is the coincidence of synchronised coincidences! Let me explain!

I had been wanting to write about Coincidences! And that wish came through more strongly when we wrote Friday the 13th - Does Bad Luck Bring Good Luck?! Now, on receiving this challenge, we realised that we really must complete it. And so we close this cycle! Are there really such things as coincidences?!

The world is full of signs which, when we are calm and attentive, we are able to interpret and follow, and so have the ‘luck’ of finding what we are looking for (and what we need). What stops us from feeling and noticing those signs?! It is the drive to rationalise and plan everything in life. It is the busy mind. It is speed! In short, the mind holds back feeling.

It is True: nothing, absolutely nothing, happens by chance!

To reach that understanding we need: receptiveness, time and space, and not mind!

We need to Feel! To feel we need to act with the heart, with feeling. When we go through a piece of bad luck, it is surely a sign to stop and rethink (feel) whether we are being sincere with ourselves in our actions and in the way we conduct our lives. Bad luck is always a great opportunity for Reflection and Change (it is a door to Good Luck)!

The challenge is to get beyond the mind, which busies itself with old records and is therefore of little use in driving change, towards the unknown, towards the new!

The mind is one more member of our body which we must learn to use, and whose movements we must coordinate. We must be aware of its impulses (manifestations of the Ego). Most of the time we are under its rule; this is a challenge without limits, one we were never taught to teach. - Being aware of our lack of awareness is hard to accept, because of the mind's own acceleration and ego -. This is the gateway to the level of perception, of intuition, of our strengths and our limits. Expanding them takes precision, courage and determination. The reward is a unique Joy in living and in Life!

The Curious Thing about this Coincidence:

The "6th photo from the 6th folder" challenge: we landed on the photo from the Friday the 13th post 666 is known as the number of the Beast… But when we are clear-headed we know that only ignorance is frightening! :)) 666 is just another number; I believe it stands for Revelation, an absence of ignorance - THE TRUTH!

By the way, the challenge of going to find this photo was passed on to us by Isabel, of Escola é Bela, who in turn got it from Rute, of Publicar para Partilhar.

Thank you both :)
