Weaving's of Synchronistic Magic
Rev. Dr. Betsie H. Poinsett
Route 129, Route 129 I kept hearing that phrase over and over in my mind. I was planning to drive to a nearby college town, Athens, to go to the chiropractor on Monday. Usually I drive on Route 441, but you can get there on Route 129, a much longer way but doable. I have learned how important it is to pay attention to the gentle nudging's from spirit, so I finally gave in and said out loud “OK, OK I’ll drive there on Route 129, I don’t want to, but I will if you insist!!!” I remembered my son, Bennett, had always driven to Athens on Route 129. Since his death in 1997 I had been getting many messages from him, I thought maybe he was trying to tell me something this time??? Perhaps I would avoid a traffic jam or an accident, I was willing to change my route just in case.
At about the same time I was hearing “Route 129” a dear friend, Colleen McCoulf, emailed to tell me that her son’s friend, Jeremy, had been killed in an auto accident over the week-end. It was like a punch in the stomach when I heard that – so many, too many of these young kids were crossing over and Bennett always seemed to be there to help them. Colleen asked me if I had gotten any info from Bennett about it. I said “no” and sent the email back to her. Then WHAM it dawned on me……ROUTE 129. Oh my God, Bennett was trying to tell me that Jeremy had been killed on Route 129. It sent chills through my body. I quickly sent another email to ask her – she found out that “yes” he had been killed on Route 129!!! It was then that I realized Bennett wanted her to go to the crash site and say a prayer for Jeremy, just as we had done for him when he had his fatal accident. Needless to say, I never made it to the chiropractor that day.
Colleen and I met when our lives were woven together one spring day at Bennett’s meditation garden high up in the North Georgia Mountains, a peaceful place at the foot of a waterfall where we had spread his ashes in a beautiful Native American ceremony. I just wanted a few quiet minutes to connect with my son. Usually no one is around, but as I drove up I saw some campers near the garden, my first thought was, “Damn it, can’t I even have a few moments of solitude to honor my son, who are these people?” I walked up and tried to ignore them. But, as I placed quarters on his memorial stone they walked over and wanted to know why I was placing quarters there and who was Bennett?
I explained that every time my husband and I came to the site he would leave a quarter on it – one day I asked him why? He said that whenever he ever saw Bennett, he would ask him for money – so now he leaves a quarter for him. We all laughed at that explanation. There were stacks of them on the marker. And how to answer the question, “Who was Bennett?” That would take some doing………
Colleen motioned to me and said “I want to show you something” she guided me to the campfire and said, “when I woke up this morning there were quarters placed all the way around the campfire, thank goodness you came here today to let me know what was going on…..I thought I was going crazy”. Later she told me that Bennett’s energy was so strong there that they actually saw him; he was dressed in white linen from head to toe.
I have written extensively in my book, Mothers Who Cry in the Night, all about Bennett, how in life he stretched my every limit and in death has been helping people from the other side. Other mother’s contact me who have lost their children and we now realize that they are all together in a huge “group” helping people.
I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Bennett constantly sends me people to help. Which is why I met Colleen – it was no accident that we were all divinely orchestrated to meet at Bennett’s meditation garden. I think he still has a big grin on his face knowing that he brought us all together. When I say “all” it’s because Colleen told me that she had 2 sons, Nick and Steven who were having a rough time, Nick the oldest was a senior in high school, accepted by the Army, but had decided to drop out of school the last quarter of his senior year (Bennett did the same thing). She said he had to pass his GED in order to stay in the Army. Instantly I knew that Bennett wanted me to help him. So I told Colleen to call me so that we could set up a session for Nick.
Nick was at loose ends, just about to make some wrong choices when I saw him for a session. We talked a lot (I always let spirit talk though me) then I guided him to close his eyes as I did some deepening techniques to help him access his subconscious mind and gave him the suggestion to have “Instant recall” while he took the GED exam. I crossed my fingers that this one session would be enough. A few weeks later, Colleen called to tell me that Nick not only passed the test, he got one of the highest scores in the State of Georgia!! Wow, I was so happy for him. Nick went on to serve in Iraq and now he has been accepted by the Police Academy. He has a loving girl friend, Savannah, ......I’ll tell you more about her later.
Both Nick and his brother, are wonderful musicians, because of that I was trying to encourage them not to give up, to keep playing and refine their talent. I told them a story about Bennett’s friend, David Carr, who is the drummer in the Christian Rock Band, Third Day. They have won several Grammy Awards and are very successful.
I can remember sitting in David’s house with his mother while he practiced in the basement – it’s a good friend who will listen to that drumming all afternoon!! The boys attended the same Youth Group at a local church and some of them decided to form a band. Thus, Third Day was started over 14 years ago. I asked David for some advise for Nick and Steven and he said just keep playing, play every where, and don’t stop. I relayed the message to them so that they might glean some inspiration from David’s words. .
After a few years, Steven was getting ready to graduate from high school and the last quarter was giving him some challenges, so Colleen thought he would benefit from a hypnotherapy session. Just before he came to the session, he broke his leg and had to stay in a cast for 6 weeks, certainly no fun for an active guy like Steven. He hobbled up the steps to my office and we talked about his goals, his future and passing his exams.
Just before I did the deepening techniques, I casually mentioned to him that we might as well heal his leg while he was in hypnosis. So as I put him under I started sending healing energy to his leg, telling him that as we were talking the bone was going to fuse together and that the next time he went to the doctor (in two weeks) he would have some good news. Then I shifted my focus and did what I call a “future projection” taking Steven out to the future so that he could see what was in store for him. He immediately was taken to a vision of his music and the band he was in being a really important part of his life. It was the vision he needed to know that he was on the right track.
A few weeks later, Colleen called to tell me that Steven said that when I was doing the healing on his leg, he could actually feel the bone fusing together. When he went back to the doctor he was told – we might as well take your cast off because your leg is all better. Wow, I was really surprised – I love it when “this stuff works”!!! Plus the best part was that Steven graduated with his class.
The night Colleen called to tell me about Steven she mentioned that Savannah, Nick’s girl friend had told her that she had a cousin in the band Third Day. I thought that was amazing because there are only 5 members in the whole band. I asked her to find out which one was her cousin. When Colleen called back I could hardly understand what she was saying “David, it’s David, that’s her cousin!!” I got chills all over with the wonder of it all - Bennett weaving his magic from the other side bringing all of us together, helping each of us experience the surreal abilities of our loved ones as they continue to bring wondrous gifts to us – if we will open our mind and hearts to see them. In Bennett’s memory my goal is to help everyone see these gifts.
Footnote by Colleen McCoulf:
Ok, we all know to pay attention to Spirit’s gentle nudges and most of us know that gentle way these signs are presented to us unless we aren’t getting the message, then we generally have to literally get slammed over the head with them in order for us to understand…that's what we call learning the hard way…Those of us that feel the gentle nudges know how often we question ourselves about our intuition or gut instinct and if you have a scientific mind forget it, you always question these subtleties. This is where my story begins and keep in mind I am one “of the scientific minds” even though I get how this works and feel it most of the time.
The details of these awe inspiring events are too numerous or lengthy to get into but suffice it to say that Bennett who I HAVE HAD THE COMPLETE HONOR OF GETTING TO KNOW SINCE HE HAS CROSSED, is a POWERFUL Spirit and is so busy helping others…Remember, I question all this stuff but there is no mistaking Bennett when he is in angel PROTECTION MODE. He is so loud and clear that you just KNOW he is by your side to help or be of support. May I list one last event that left me stunned but might give you the idea of what I am talking about?
Betsie and I were supposed to meet for lunch one day but the day was shaping up in a way that left little time to be able to make that meeting…I was driving down the road on my way to these errands and low and behold…Bennett strikes again letting me know that beyond a shadow of a doubt his mom needed me that day and it turns out she needed some EXTRA loving and healing energy to help a lost child as she was performing an exorcism later that day. This sign was so clear I could not ignore it. I passed a junkyard and there was a huge yellow truck with life size red letters painted across the whole side that simply said BENNETT. Larger than life, that is how I must describe this sublime Angel Spirit that spends ALL his time helping others in Divine protection.
Thank you Bennett and thank you Betsie for your ultimate sacrifices…Its your complete Love that lights the way for so many across the world! We are honored and in awe of your complete Love…
