Listen and Obey

So here I am, flying up I-75 north on my sweet Melissa.

In Florida on the Interstates there are three speed limits: In the right lane, the “slow” lane, you go 80 miles an hour; in the middle lane you go 90+; in the left lane all bets are off!

Today’s a beautiful day with plenty of blue sky and sunshine. I’m feeling good, Melissa’s running great, and it’s only around noon–I still have half the day left to ride. Aaahhhhh…down time. It feels so good! So I’m zipping along in the right lane, the “slow” lane, and I’m pissing some people off because I’m holding my speed down to around 70. It’s such a pretty day, and I’m in no hurry to be anywhere, and I just want to cruise along and enjoy the road and the sights. Let ‘em pass me…there are two other lanes.

So I’m enjoying the scenery and the feeling of motion and I’m thinking no thoughts in particular and suddenly my feel-good time is interrupted by a familiar voice in my head, and the voice says, “Move into the far left lane.”

Hmm…I don’t want to move over into the far left lane: I’m comfortably situated in traffic with plenty of room to maneuver if something goes wrong, and after assessing traffic conditions I’ll have to do some mighty tall riding to wiggle through this speeding traffic and get into the left lane where the crazy people are holding an unsanctioned road race!

But the voice speaks again, with a solemn insistence, and now it uses my name:

“John; move into the far left lane.”

I sigh. I should know better than to argue with the Powers That Be. I downshift, grab a handful of throttle, and throw my heavy iron beast to the left. I have to do some intricate up-shifting/downshifting/throttle on/throttle off/brakes on/brakes off lean-and-weave skillful riding to get into the left lane, but I manage to do so without incurring too much road rage from my fellow travelers.

So now I’m zooming along in the left lane wondering: What in the world was that all about? I ask my guys why their insistence that I suddenly change lanes but they give me no response. I keep checking my rearview mirrors and looking around me at the traffic; everything seems to be safe and sound, and then, suddenly, I’m rolling through the remnants of a wreck so fresh that stuff is still rolling and bouncing around the highway! I glance over and I catch a glimpse of a man’s face as he wrestles with the steering wheel of his car, which has spun around and is now facing in the wrong direction on this high-speed Interstate!

Drivers in all three lanes begin to slam on their brakes and begin their own evasive maneuvers, trying to avoid the car that is now pointing the wrong way; trying to avoid the bits and pieces of cars that are rolling and bouncing on the highway; and trying to avoid each other. It’s a real white knuckle, hold your breath experience!

I slow down just slightly to see if I need to stop and render assistance, but other cars are already doing so.

I sail through this horrific accident totally unaffected, but I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t listened to, and obeyed, the voice that told me to move into the far left lane, away from the right lane where I had been, in which the wreck occurred only moments later! Thank You, Spirit!

If we will train ourselves to listen to the voice of Spirit we can hear instructions that will literally save our lives!

That voice may speak when our minds are on other things, when we find ourselves preoccupied. It’s vital to learn to recognize those little prompts that indicate that Spirit has a message for us. We may get a tingle up and down our spines; a sick to the stomach feeling; a slight headache or a pain somewhere in our bodies; or just the sudden feeling that something is not quite right somehow. Or it could be unexpected delay after unexpected delay that prevents you from getting out of the house on time.

That’s the time for us to turn our attention to the Other Side, and to ask Spirit what the matter is…what message they have to give to us.

Or, if you’re as fortunate as I am, that voice may just break into your consciousness and speak directly to you.

When that happens…obey! Be obedient to that voice. It may be inconvenient, difficult, or even embarrassing for you to listen to and obey that command. You may have to make an excuse and leave a party. You may have to postpone a trip although you’ve already driven halfway there. You may have to cancel plans that you’ve looked forward to for weeks.

But the Other Side can see a lot farther down the road than we can, and if we entrust ourselves to that power and believe that it can help us and that it has our best interests at heart, then we owe it to that power, and to ourselves, to obey that voice when it issues a warning or a command.

For in so doing you may find yourself, as I have many times, thankful to the Other Side for having saved your life!
