I got in a car accident yesterday and this is what I learned
Don’t worry—I’m literally fine. I got out of the car immediately, walked to the side and made a phone call. I wasn’t hysterical, I didn’t cry, I didn’t get hurt and nothing really crazy happened to me after that, but I did learn a lot.
First, I wondered if I was just a weird numb girl but then I processed my emotions in a park shortly after and realized that I was physically fine and was determined to stay alive because I love the earth so much.
To give you some context, I started working a job to be able to pay some bills while True Alchemy Academy gets going. It’s a start-up and I’ve bootstrapped (paid for) everything myself and so I need some extra income to help me continue growing.
So, I’m on my way to my first day and the guy driving is someone I have only met once.
He offers to pick me up because there’s a strike and the metro’s are delayed and we have to be in the centre to do work. We’re late. I’m not sure if he’s paying much attention, but I get in the car and my gut points out my seat belt so I put it on(I would’ve anyway, but just the extra like HI PUT IT ON was so interesting to me).
The driver T-bones a girl who maybe was speeding through a red light, or he went through a red. I didn’t see the lights so I can’t tell you exactly why the accident happened only that it ended up making my working schedule easier because I got promoted—literally right after.
Now I have been sending light to my bank account and my work schedule, so when I got in this accident I was like “yo what the fuck?”
But then time passed and I realized a few things:
1) For being in an accident I was completely fine. No scratches, it wasn’t my car, and I got to go home for a bit instead of going to work.
2) I got promoted so my schedule will be the one I wanted
3) I will make more money with my promotion
and again, 4) I was uninjured.
(btw everyone else is safe too, minor scratches. The cars are ruined though).
So sometimes, even when shit hits the fan, you just need to keep your faith in God.
But let’s say I wanted to be angry about the incident and curse God for putting me there.
Maybe I wouldn’t have gotten the other things that I wanted so quickly.
Maybe I wouldn’t have had such profound realizations that I LOVE when the birds chirp or the light comes through the trees. Or that I love the smell of the air, or I’m sooooo fucking grateful for my legs, arms, toes, feet, hands, fingers, eyes, nose, hair, body, skin, fat, cellulite, wrinkles, kidneys, liver, blood, plasma, lungs, tears and everything that signifies that I AM ALIVE.
You never really think anything out of the blue can happen and then BAM (literally in my case) it does and it shakes you, it puts you into a place of understand that life is so precious and you should be living in the present so you can appreciate what you have (while still wanting things is fine).
This isn’t a post about Ancient Wisdom though I do love talking about it. It’s just a blog talking about being a creation of the Creator and trusting God so much that even when things are awful, you still have faith because it’s on the path to your greatest evolution.
And—if you do want to get involved with True Alchemy Academy (which I would be so grateful for) you can do these things:
1) You can enter the Ancient Academy to learn all aspects of ancient wisdom through various cultures, histories, healing techniques, thoughts, etc..
2) You can dive deeper with course teachers in their topics
3) You can apply to come on a retreat (next one is in May)
Peace & love to everyone 🩵
