Listen to the Question, and Answer THE Question

On the drive to work this morning, I told Mr. W that I had spoken to Rebecca last night. I told him I asked her “What happened to my embryos?”, and that she’d seen a whole bunch of eggs/embryos, saw embryos being discarded as they would or did lose viability, saw embryos being frozen, saw 2 women receiving embryos, one resulting in pregnancy and the other maybe not. I was about to launch into how my fertility doc lied to me, but before I could, Mr. W interrupted my story with, “The woman who got pregnant was you.”
…
Oh.
When I’d asked Rebecca my question, I had wanted to know what happened to my three donated embryos, but that was not what I’d asked. The Universe is pretty literal, and I had asked what happened to my embryos. That’s why she was shown what happened to the bunch of eggs that were initially harvested, as well. So the two women who received an embryo or embryos. One WAS me. The other was promised anonymity, as I knew she would be, when she agreed to receive my donated embryos.
“I don’t think it’s ethical for Dr. R to not tell you,” Mr. W said. “I think he HAS to tell you [if your donated embryos result in a birth].”
A common and frequent admonishment my judge tells witnesses as they prepare to testify is, “Listen carefully to the question(s) being asked, and answer THAT question. The questions are not an invitation to go rambling off and talk about what YOU want to talk about.” The universe listened to the question, and answered THAT question. I did not listen to my own question.
I was surprised when I read your prior post that, without hesitation, you believed Rebecca’s vision and concluded that your doctor lied.
I guess I’m just not much of a believer in self-described psychics. My experience has been either that they “see” general things that could be construed in a number of ways or that they chat you up to learn enough about you and what you choose to reveal, and then tailor their “vision” accordingly.
No disrespect to you, my friend–I’ve read your blog long enough to know you have a strong tie to Rebecca. Your certainty just surprised me a little..
I’ve definitely had those experiences with so-called “psychics.” There was one at a local faire I’d attended when I was in HS who said some guy named “Jimmy” liked me and that I’d be with him. I have never dated a Jimmy. She also fumbled around with a bunch of crap in her “reading” and kept trying to blindly feel for a peg to hang her visions on, so to speak. She also had me hold her “amulet” and asked me what color I saw in the pendant, and I was confused because it was one of those cheap etched glass hologram things that had a 3D hologram of a rose in it, I have one myself with a dragon in it. She tried to tell me it’s mystical and that individuals see different colors based on people’s different auras or whatever, which was total crap. And I’ve also had another psychic at Balboa Beach with a storefront tell me that some guy I was about to break up with (because the relationship had gotten pretty abusive) was “good for me.” Total crap. I start with skepticism.
The reason I tend to believe Rebecca without hesitation is because I give her very little information, deliberately, when I ask her things (in fact, she makes you stop talking if you start telling her background, because she doesn’t want it to trigger her imagination and confuse her ability to distinguish what she “sees” from what she imagines), and her track record with me and with others I know are beyond incredible. She did tell me the other night, “I could be wrong,” and I told her I’ve not known her to be wrong about my child(ren).
BTW, she told a friend well before the friend got pregnant that my friend can expect a baby in July this year. In fact, she said closer to mid-July. It took way longer than expected for my friend to conceive, and when my friend finally was pregnant, it looked like the baby would miss the July month. Well, due to unforeseen health circumstances, the OB had to induce well before the baby’s due date, and my friend’s baby was born…yesterday.
I know Rebecca could be wrong on things, and she has been wrong on things (she says her accuracy is about 85%), but she’s been more right than wrong so I’ve lost just about all of my skepticism.
I think another reason I believed in this situation so unquestioningly, tho, is because I’m not unbiased. Even tho I’m okay with everything now, very recently I had REALLY wanted these babies to be born, and I was already wondering how this could’ve happened. I was already thinking, and wanting, that the doctor was somehow wrong. I can admit that.
ha! literal universe. it sounds like the universe and i could be friends. or at least understand each other.

I have no doubt that that could be the case, and will create a peaceful beautiful friendship. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
