In addition to your channel of internal communication, you have an external guidance system of old souls who have completed their life journeys and wait to assist you. As Edgar Cayce said, the external guidance system is an “invisible empire” that exists around you.

Your external guidance system comes from the outside. It is a form of external communication from another person or entity. For instance, you may see auras or energies around others that allow you to receive helpful information. Or you may get a warning from a particular person or even from a geographic location.

Remember, these communications from the Universe can materialize at any time in almost any form imaginable, from a cloud in the sky to an encounter with an animal. All you need to do is pay attention.

Experiences of Synchronicity

One kind of external guidance experience is synchronicity. Have you ever found yourself in the right place at the right time? For some reason, exactly when you most need it, the phone rings with an answer to a dilemma. Perhaps it's an unexpected amount of money that you receive just in time to hold off a financial disaster. It could come in the mail, from a lottery ticket, from a long-forgotten debt someone owes you, or as a gift.

It could be that there's an item you desperately need, one that has been in your mind and possibly in your prayers. Sometimes what is needed materializes in such a subtle way that it is hardly recognized. You might be wishing for a new car when what you actually needed was the secondhand car you received.

It is very easy to overlook synchronicity. It happens so naturally that it may not even be noticed. It's like watching a magician intently so that you may learn the trick. The magic happens right under your nose while you are focused on something else.
