Cheating Death: A Biker's Personal Oracle
Before we begin, I'd like to invite you to
join me for this week's blog tour about personal oracles. Each day you
will learn more about identifying and decoding those mysterious messages that
continuously guide and support you. Click here to for more info: http://wp.me/P2hyAn-ap. Hope to meet you along
the way!
Now, let’s look through the paradigm of personal oracles at a
couple of ways the universe works to keep us safe.
In the previous blog, “2 Musicians + A Mysterious Boy + A Cemetery
= A Personal Oracle,” Joyce
shared a paranormal incident in which a couple of musicians were waylaid to
keep them out of harm’s way.
This time a cross-country bicycler’s protection was
delivered by something quite
different.
Cheating Death
Ann, thank you for putting a label on
the many experiences that have guided me in my life.... some near death
experiences when either moving just a few feet or resisting moving just a few
feet meant the difference between life and death. To this day I am shaken by
the experiences and LUCKY to be alive. I continue to have personal
oracles on a much more minor scale that guide me personally and
professionally... at least now I can give them a label.
In May of 1980, I
flew to Seattle to start a cross-country bicycle trip. I rode up through the
San Juan Islands of WA, the Gulf Islands of BC and Vancouver Island.
While in the Gulf Islands, I actually heard Mt. St. Helens explode. A
week later I took the ferry from Vancouver Island to the Olympic peninsula and
continued down the coast of WA. If you remember, the week after Mt. St.
Helens exploded, it erupted again only this time the ash fell to the west over
most of the Olympic Peninsula. Some other cyclists and I stopped by the
state police for a couple days until the ash stopped falling. When the
weather was wet the ash was the disgusting sticky consistency of mucus. When
the weather was dry, the ash was like riding through an inch or so of light
powder or flour. Any disturbance would throw up a cloud of ash.
The morning my
trip resumed, the weather was dry and cool enough that I wore a jacket.
Part way up a long up hill grade I became warm and decided to stop and remove
my jacket. Next to the paved traffic lane was the paved shoulder I was
riding on and then a mowed area that had metal fence posts. I leaned my
bicycle against a fence post just inches from the paved shoulder. I
removed my jacket and stored it, then noticed a large truck grinding up the grade kicking up a
dense cloud of ash that blocked all visibility.
As I watched the
truck approach, “something told me” NOT to move my bicycle onto the shoulder to
resume riding. (Under normal circumstances, 99.99999% of the time this
would be safe to do.)
“Something told me”
to stay put off of the shoulder and wait for the truck to pass.
As the truck
approached within about 100 to 200 feet, remarkably and very illegally a driver
had decided to pass the truck (on the left) on the paved shoulder. They both
roared past me at high speed at the same time. The car on the shoulder missed
my bicycle by mere inches and had I been standing on the shoulder as I
intended, I would have been killed instantly. I was immediately
enveloped in a dense cloud of ash and it took a few seconds for me to realize
what had just transpired and that I was incredibly lucky to be alive. The
experience still haunts me today.
This is an
absolutely true story... one that I would hardly believe myself if it had not
happened to me.
Now I can say it
was an "Everyday Oracle" that kept me from moving those couple
feet... that is the best I can explain. Actually, this is the first time I have
written these experiences down. I will give them to my kids.
My thanks to you, our cross-country biker, for taking the
time to share your amazing experience with us all.
All the Best,
Ann
Most of us can remember a time when “something” nudged us in the right
direction. Call it a gut feeling, an intuitive hit, or even a guardian angel.
Whatever terminology we use one thing is clear. The universe is designed to
respond to our needs. Once again, just for fun, here is the formula for how the
universe operates.
Need
+ Delivery System + Message = Personal Oracle

In her bestselling book,
Everyday Oracles: Decoding the Divine Messages That Are All Around Us,
author Ann Bolinger-McQuade uses memorable stories and photos to introduce the
formula for how personal oracles work, then teaches you how to recognize and
decode yours. If you have personal oracle experiences to share, please
submit them to Ann through this website. She will respond personally. And while
you’re here, check out the cloud photos in the interactive “What Do You See
Section.” Have fun and exercise your psychic muscles. Who knows, you may
discover a personal oracle hiding in plain sight, just waiting to deliver a
special message to you.
