Greetings!
There was a special occurrence before and during the spiritual discourses in July. I saw a big "bee" every time I stepped onto the school fields!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Three days before the July discourses were to begin, I wanted to get myself mentally ready. I woke up early to go for a walk in the school fields. I wanted to take in the calm and peace of the early morn.
A year ago, a solid, tall fence was installed to replace the rusted see-through metal chainlink fence that separated the apartments and the schools. There were two openings for people to walk in. One of the openings was close to where I lived.
It was a beautiful morning. As soon as I walked past the fence, I saw a bee. I had never seen such a big bee! I saw small bees in the fields all the time, but this one was more than two inches long. It had a long abdomen with black and white stripes. Its head was yellow and black. It had long reddish wings. I stood there appreciating its beauty as it remained flying near me. During that time, it landed on a small piece of amber color glass over and over again. After a couple of minutes, it flew out of the fence toward the apartments. Seeing the beautiful bee, my heart was filled with delight.
When I was home, I told my husband about the bee. He listened to my description of the bee. He said it was not a bee but a wasp. I did not know much about insects, but he did. I went online to look for pictures of wasp. What I saw was a hornet.
The next morning, I did not wake up early. I went for a walk after breakfast. The second I stepped onto the school field, the hornet flew in from the apartment side of the fence. I thought what a coincidence that the hornet and I came to the field at the same time. Then I thought it might be the hornet flew in and out the fence / school fields throughout the day. Again, I stood there to observe the hornet. After a while, it flew away just as the day before.
As I walked, I saw small bees, small butterflies, and other insects every now and then. I looked for the hornet every time I walked past the opening, but it did not fly in again. I did not see any other hornet in the fields.
On the third morning, I decided to take a camera with me. The hornet appeared again just as I walked in. I took a few pictures of the hornet at close range before it flew away.
During the discourses, I took a walk every morning. When the discourses were over, I continued to go for a walk if the weather was good. I brought the camera with me because of the hornet. As far as I could recall, I might have skipped a morning or two due to the rain. Incredibly, the hornet always showed up when I came. It stayed there for a while, and then flew away. Strangely, the hornet never stayed inside the fields where there were many trees and some wild flowers on the grass. After it flew out of the fence, it never came back even if I stood at the same spot waiting for it to return.
For over half a month, I saw the beautiful hornet every time I walked past the fence onto the school fields. The last time I saw the hornet was on July 31.

In 2007, I saw bumblebees on three separate occasions. On the last occasion, I found a big bumblebee clang onto the handle of our screen door when I arrived home. I did not want to scare the bee. I waited for it to fly away. For a long while, the bumblebee stayed there without any movement. I thought it might be dying or too weak to fly. I tried to touch it with a small piece of paper, and it flew away in a swift. During that time, I happened to see BEE license plates all the time. 2007 was the year that we moved to another state. A move that the human I had not foreseen. It was in that state I participated in healing service and facilitated workshops that I had never thought about since I did not regard myself a healer.

Is there any spiritual significance in the sighting of the hornet? Time will tell. All Is Well in the Loving Divine.
Many blessings,

The Divine had its way of revealing to me
Greetings!
The spiritual teacher had returned to his country a few days ago. His evening discourses in English were over in July. In August, we had two whole days spiritual retreat. There were about fifty of us. It had been quite a month for our group.
I knew my last post was published over a month ago. I tried to get back to my blog in the past few weeks, but could not focus on writing. Our energy was raised in the presence of the teacher, and it might take some time for us to get back to our routine.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
In my last post, I wrote that I might not write anything about this year's retreat, but there was an interesting coincidence that I would like to share with you.
In Oct. 2016, I finished writing about my experiences during the 7-day evening discourses.
In Nov. 2016, The Mysterious Encounter came to my mind, and I wrote a post about it. Then I happened to recall The Strange Dream I had in my 20 s. In the dream, I was told to sign my name before my younger brother was to reincarnate. I thought this dream could not be true because I was the youngest of three. I had an older sister and an older brother. I did not know my mother had a miscarriage (twins) when I was in elementary school. I eventually found out my dream was right - the year I had the dream marked the 16th year since the souls of the younger twins went back to the other side. For years I wondered why I had to sign my name before he was to reincarnate. I thought my parents or my older siblings should sign instead of me.
With one post leading to another, I wrote from Nov. 2016 to Jan. 2017. While writing those posts, I suddenly understood I was asked to sign because this soul and I would meet again in this lifetime. In that post, I wrote -
I knew the year he was reincarnated. In my current spiritual group, there were many young men around that age. It was very possible my younger brother was among them. At the end, I wrote 'I do not intend to find out who is my brother'.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The first whole day retreat was held in a sister's beautiful home. After the teacher's discourse, we sat down to talk. (Note - at the time of the talk, the teacher was not with us.) Samuel and Matthew led the talk. They were wonderful leaders of our group. (Re The Unveiling of A Divine Plan , The Beauty of a Bouquet of Flowers, and other posts on the spiritual retreat published in 2016.)
Matthew talked about his experiences. Somehow, he said, "I was born in (the year)." My eyes opened wide. That was the year I had The Strange Dream and the year the soul as my younger brother was supposed to reincarnate! Then I remembered some young men in our group had said they had known Matthew since childhood. They were probably around Matthew's age. Besides, other men in the retreat might have been born in that year too.
When we sat down to eat, I could not help but wanted to know how many men in the retreat were born in that year. I asked for the help of a sister who was well loved and respected. Without any hesitation, she voiced what I wanted to know. As it turned out, Matthew was the only one that was born in that year! A couple of his friends were born a year before or after him.
While I had not intended to find out who might be my brother, the Divine had its way of revealing to me.

Since I began this blog in 2011, sometimes I wanted to write about something, but I just could not finish the post. On the other hand, experiences that I had not thought of sharing occasionally came to my mind, and I felt this force within to continue writing until the whole story was completed. It was the case with the mystery sister and the twins that I had no knowledge of. It was incredible that Matthew talked about the year he was born eight months after I shared with you The Strange Dream.
There might be no scientific proof to the mystical experiences or coincidences in my life. However, as far as I observed, there was definitely a touch of the Divine in the things that had unfolded.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The night before the teacher left, we gathered in Matthew's house. The whole house was crowded with people, and some I met for the first time. We wanted to stay in the teacher's presence as long as we could. We stayed until almost 3 am.
Thank you, Teacher! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Truthfully,

P. S. 1. In He said, "You are sincere.", I wrote about Matthew too.
2. Like last year, the 7-Day discourses were free. Our group pooled some money (very minimal) for our food and drinks during the two whole days spiritual retreat; there was no other charge. The teacher never accepted any money, and came to USA on his own.

The Spiritual Teacher Returns to give Discourses
Greetings!
I am excited about July and August. The spiritual teacher (a realized master) will return to give discourses later this month. He will stay until the middle of August. (Re The Spiritual Teacher's Birthday and other posts published from June to Oct. 2016.)
After the spiritual teacher returned to his country last September, our group met once a month. The master healer (the professor) came to be with us each month. He lived in a state that was far from our state. We were very grateful for his commitment to lead us.
Unlike last year, I might not write about the upcoming retreat except if I felt a certain happening would be beneficial to share. I wrote about what happened last year because it was the first time I went to a 7-day retreat. I learned many more people had signed up online for this year's retreat. That was wonderful!
My friends and I are looking forward to be in the presence of the spiritual teacher again. In joy, I share with you the good news.
Peace,
