A funny thing happened to me on the way home this morning.
My one-way only street was blocked by an ambulance, just a few houses short of my home. I was blocked.
In an instant I realised that I had created this situation as I had been delaying a visit to my local bank branch to sort out an account issue. So I reversed all the way out of the street (after carefully checking that no-one was behind me), back out to the main road and on to the shopping centre.
The bank of course was not open…for another full hour, as I found out when I got there. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the branch and I’ve gotten used to the 24/7 of internet banking.
So, I took myself off to the coffee shop to enjoy a coffee not made by me – they taste so much better 
I’m an observer. I love watching people and their behaviour and of course, since I connected with Seth and other non-physical beings I get to see so much more than I used to.
I watched the joy on a little girls face as her friend turned up at the same coffee shop. Pure bliss and delight.
I watched a little boy singing as he waited with dad for mum to order and come back to the table. Joy in motion.
I watched a young man meet with an older man. I’m not sure what was going on, perhaps a job interview or some business transaction. Things were going well. I could see energetically that they were connecting and that they were both showing up fully.
And then, it happened.
The phone rang.
Young man answered it. It was obvious when he said ‘oh who is this’ that he had no idea who was calling.
About 3 minutes later I watched the change in the older man. His attention completely went away from the young man. He energetically reeked of ‘contained anger, disappointment and a touch of disrespected’.
A couple of minutes later young man said goodbye and hung up the phone, but I’m afraid it was all over for him. Older man was fighting his sense of being neglected and disrespected. Hard to recover from that particularly when no apology was offered either before or after the call.
It made me think about being in the NOW moment.
It made me question my own experiences when meeting others for coffee and how many times any of us, or all of us, feel the need to immediately answer the phone when it rings.
It made me think about what Seth teaches about living each moment of life in each moment and not away thinking about the past or contemplating the future.
It made me realise the importance of closing the door, turning off the phone or any other distraction when I’m interacting with family, friends and everyone else.
Do you allow your phone or other interruptions to jolt you out of living in the NOW?
Why? What could be more important than what you are doing or who you are with right NOW?
