The Perfect Unfolding Of A Vision

Along winding and unpredictable yet Perfect Paths

Hello, all you beautiful beings of Love and Light 💜✨

Once again, Life leads me along paths unknown, filling the “little” free time I have with things I did not foresee, which is causing a major “disruption” to this blog and the publishing of these posts.

I actually wrote this post several weeks ago, but as Life is always in session, I haven’t gotten around to the final editing of it until now.

This is not to say that now is not the perfect time. It is just not when I had thought it was going to be published.

I apologize for this delay, but hope you will enjoy this post.

A Starting Point of Sorts

I had a profound realization the other day.

I was walking along the beach, not really thinking of anything in particular but just enjoying a still and quiet breathing space, when it suddenly occurred to me that I am now finding myself in the midst of a physical manifestation of a vision I caught many years ago.

One that I have actually forgotten ever having.

Me and my family are living in this beautiful little town called Conil in southern Spain.

Before moving here last year, we had been coming here for many years, and so for a long time, this place has felt like a second home to me.

As I was out walking along the beach the other day, a vivid memory suddenly popped into my mind.

It is a memory from one of the first times we ever came here, something like 13 or 14 years ago.

It was just another beautiful day in paradise, and I was on my way down to the beach. As I was walking down the stony stairs, just before stepping onto the beach, I passed this woman who was sitting with her laptop, overlooking the majestic, soothing, and powerful Atlantic Ocean.

She seemed to be working.

When I have shared this experience with others in the past, I have usually said that I was so intrigued by her sitting there that I stopped and talked to her.

Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t - I am not sure. But now that I think of it, maybe I did speak to her, as I distinctly recall her having a German accent.

Either way, and it doesn’t really matter which, what matters is that seeing her sitting there in her beautiful outdoor office, working, blew me away.

This is the exact spot where the woman was sitting with her laptop

An instant Paradigm Expansion

Never before in my life, had I considered the possibility of having any other kind of work than one that had me tied to a certain location and trapped in time.

To me, the very definition of work was going to a certain location at a certain time and leaving that particular location at the end of the day.

Sure, I knew there were people who had different kinds of jobs, like artists and writers.

But as I didn’t know anyone who was an artist or writer and, to my knowledge, had not ever met one, the idea that their working experience was any different from mine had never occurred to me.

If my memory serves me, I was still working as a firefighter with a fixed schedule and the fire station as my fixed location.

Maybe I had just started my first business, but if I had, it was just in the early stages.

Even having that business, which involved teaching CPR and First Aid, had me more or less tied down to working from morning until night. As well as being in the vicinity of the town I was operating out of.

And so, having the kind of freedom to be able to work from anywhere, including a stony staircase overlooking the ocean, among the palm trees in sunny and warm Spain - that was so far beyond my current and previous experiences that I couldn’t believe it.

I mean, I was literally blown away by the mere idea that it was possible.

Perhaps something like what it feels like to meet an alien or a Spirit for the first time. It just goes beyond anything previously imagined.

And this is now my imagination expressing itself, as I have not met either so far (as far as I know).

Anyway, what I do remember from that day is seeing this woman, awakened a deep inner desire to live life like that.

To live my life unbound by time and place. I don’t think I phrased it like that back then, but that was the essence of it.

And I remember vowing to myself that this, one day, was going to be my life.

Pushed Into Deeper Alignment

So I set that intention, and I remember that for quite some time, the memory of this profound and life-altering experience stayed with me.

But as the years passed and I went about my life, the memory of that woman and her laptop began to fade to the point where I forgot all about her.

Even to the point where I forgot about that moment of smashing through my mental barriers as to what was possible.

They both faded somewhere into the deep recesses of my mind.

And so, now, looking back at the many years that have passed since then - I can see that the unfolding of this intention has been happening.

Even when I had forgotten all about it.

And everything that has happened since then has been instrumental to that perfect unfolding.

Including me working way too much these last few years.

So much so that I literally had to set an intention for myself to live a simple, peaceful, and quiet life, unbound by time and place.

God Works in Mysterious Ways

Now, when I set that intention a couple of years ago, the connection to seeing this woman working on those stairs was completely lost on me.

I had long since forgotten all about her, and so from my perspective, setting that intention and beginning to move my life in that direction was me beginning to move in a completely new direction.

To me, setting that intention was a starting point. A new beginning.

But as the memories of this woman are now coming back to me, it is so clear to me that it was not a new beginning.

It was just the perfect continuous unfolding of something that had been set in motion many years ago.

In other words, totally unbeknownst to me, what I perceived as a very dark and challenging time in my life, was Spirit preparing me.

It was God moving me to the place where I had nowhere to go but to hit the brakes and come to a full stop.

So that I could make a course direction. The course correction needed for the next stage of the unfolding that was already happening.

That which was always happening.

Even though I was completely unaware of it.

And that my family and I felt the need to move to Spain is such a beautiful testimony to the Divine and perfect design.

Primarily, we moved to get our son out of the Swedish school system which was having such a negative effect on him that he developed a serious eating disorder and almost withered away at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024.

So, what seemed to be solely for his sake, we chose to leave Sweden and move here to Spain. Thus making him eligible to be more or less homeschooled.

Every Step is Necessary

And how beautiful that I got to move through the dark and funky space of being a full-time stay-at-home dad, with virtually no creative outlet or expression at all last fall.

A space that more or less forced me to the point where I just had to get myself back into a creative space.

And how absolutely beautiful that I could not (nor wanted to) go back to being the teacher and coach I used to be back in Sweden, but that I needed to find a new way forward.

And just at that perfect time, when all other doors were seemingly closed, the seed of becoming a freelance writer was planted within me.

A seed that allows me to live virtually unbound by time and place.

Had it not been for any of these experiences, and obviously many others tying into this, some that I am aware of and some that I am not aware of, I may not have been ready or willing to make this professional course correction.

Most likely, I would have continued along my old path.

Perhaps the most beautiful thing of them all is that this “final” piece of catching the seed of becoming a freelance writer, came into my life, literally just a few miles from where it all began - the stairs where I saw this woman sitting, working on her computer, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

I mean, if this is not an absolutely magnificent expression of the sometimes slow and winding paths of how God works, then I don’t know what is.

“Spirit Begins Just Beyond Our Plans”

Yes, there have been many twists and turns.

Yes, I would have loved to have had this vision manifest itself sooner.

As I am writing these words, I remember actually catching the idea of starting a career as a freelance writer a number of years ago.

However, while I don’t exactly remember why I didn’t pursue that career back then, I do know that the timing for this unfolding now, is perfect.

I am now in a space where I am ripe and ready to step into this space, whereas apparently, I wasn’t a few years back.

Another beautiful piece to this, and one that revealed itself only a few days ago, is that I now also am in a space where I can actually allow books to be midwifed.

I don’t think I have shared it here in this blog, but I can’t even count the number of books I have started writing these last few years.

There have been many. All on various spiritual themes and topics.

And so, I would start writing. I‘d do the first few chapters or so, and then I would have new spiritual insights and realizations that completely overturned the basic premise, the foundation of the book.

Which meant that I would have to go back to the very beginning and re-write the whole thing.

And this happened every time.

Honestly, I don’t know how authors do it.

I don’t know how they stick to the initial storyline or theme without getting sidetracked and ultimately overturned by new and expanded ideas and storylines.

But as God so beautifully guides, leads, and moves us through infinite channels and avenues, just a few days ago, a wonderful being suggested that I take my recorded content, transcribe it, and allow it to become a book (or several books).

This has never occurred to me before, but it provides such a beautiful opening as it means that I don’t have to actually write the book.

The book already exists. It just needs to be transcribed and transformed into a physical form.

All I need to do is to allow it to shapeshift from my already recorded content onto the pages of a book (and then obviously do some work around formatting and proofreading and that kind of stuff).

As I was doing some research yesterday morning, I learned that thanks to AI, transcribing a 19-minute prayer only takes about 3 minutes and 40 seconds (using the tools and techniques I learned in a wonderful 10-minute YouTube tutorial).

To me, this, too, is simply mindblowing.

And with the help of various self-publishing tools, it has never been easier to publish a book.

Divine and Perfect Timing is Always Happening

Adding to this, the way my life is unfolding and the direction that it is moving, publishing books is not only doable but in perfect alignment with where I am headed.

A few years back, this technology wasn’t as easily accessible. And so this was not possible back when I felt pulled toward freelance writing.

But now it is.

So yes, the unfolding may not have been according to my timetable. It may not have been according to my preferences.

And I can most certainly say that it has not been according to how (or even what) I thought it was going to be.

But, and this truly is a big but!! It has all happened, and it is all happening with Divine perfection.

And so the big takeaway is that as long as we know what we want - and we truly, truly need to be clear on the good we wish to experience, and as long as we are willing to keep moving in that direction - the unfolding will happen perfectly.

The thing with so many of us humans, though, is that as we cannot see the path forward, and sometimes not even the next step, we immediately buy into the notion that it cannot be done, that it is impossible.

So we either stop ourselves short in our tracks or, sometimes, stop ourselves even before we get moving.

Just tossing the inspired idea out the window on account of imagined impossibility.

But we are living in a field of infinite possibilities.

We are swimming in a limitless ocean where there are no boundaries or limitations.

At least none other than the ones we impose upon ourselves.

Moving Into Uncharted Territory

I know absolutely nothing about being a freelance writer. I mean, I have a deep passion (and maybe even a knack) for writing, but I know nothing about techniques, styles, or any of that.

I don’t have an extensive or fancy vocabulary. I don’t know my personal style, and so on.

There is so much I don’t know.

This is completely uncharted territory for me, which means that there is a whole lot more than I can imagine that I will need to learn.

That I will learn.

But, and this is may be the reason I was not ready to step into this space a few years ago, I absolutely know that God will provide me with everything I need to learn what I need to learn.

As well as release and let go of everything I need to release to allow for this new iteration of me to come forth.

As Jesus said, “It is not me that is doing the work. It is the father within that does the work”.

The seed doesn’t need to know how to unfold into whatever it is destined to become.

Neither do I need to know how to allow for that which is seeking to emerge to come forth.

Saying Yes, Listening and Obeying

All I need is to keep saying Yes to my intention(s) and be willing to do the work to do something every day that moves me in the direction of this vision and intention.

And to listen to that still, small voice that is nudging, beckoning, and pulling me forward.

Listen to it and then OBEY it

I can hear the egoic structures that are trying to get me to consider logic and reason.

But as God knows nothing of neither logic nor reason, there is no need for me to limit myself by giving them too much power.

Or any power at all really.

All I need to do is to listen, obey and continue to walk in the direction of where I am being guided.

Everything that has happened, every experience, every individual - EVERYTHING has been perfectly designed and absolutely necessary for me to be who and where I am now.

And who I am and where I am now is perfectly prepared and positioned to allow for the next iteration of me to come forth.

I mean, don’t you just love how good Life is?

And we are not talking about our experience of life.

We are talking about how Life with a capital L, is sooo Benevolent.

How it is always for itself and, either through pain and suffering or inspiration or bliss, moves us eternally forward.

So that we may become ever greater and grander expressions of who and what we are.

Life truly is beautiful and I am so grateful that I get to walk this wonderful path.

And I am very grateful that we get to walk it together.

And that I get to share this wonderful journey with you.

Thank you 💜✨
