Shhhhh! The Universe is talking. It has a special message just for you. It is too bad that you will most likely ignore it. You will turn away and cover your ears, because, you don't like the way the message has been conveyed, or do not approve of the messenger. Perhaps the messenger does not have lofty credentials or has not written a book. Perhaps their clothing or hairstyle is not to your liking. Perhaps the messenger is a two year old child, or a dog, and you are a cat person.
Spirit has a message for everyone. Every minute of every day, and it is personal. It is what you need to hear. Just like the story of the blind men and the elephant, the same message might be interpreted differently by different people, or affected by who is giving the message.
Every prayer, petition or question is answered. Sometimes the answer is right in front of you, sometimes the answer, is "wait, we have a better idea".
Life is not meant to be a mystery. It is easily understood without years of work and schooling.
You do not need to buy a book, rent a DVD or see an inspirational speaker in person to get the answers that you need. While these things can be helpful, the answers are at your fingertips without having to spend a single penny.
It is much easier to see the message if you give up judgement and open your ears. Often people will close their ears when they hear the word, "God", for instance, because of a painful religious upbringing, or another person might not want to hear a message from your "God" because He is quoted from a different book, or He is She. Being open means understanding that the message might be, "this is not what you want to do". A person whose actions have offended you might have something meaningful to say, but you will miss it because you cannot bring yourself to believe that they have anything important to teach you.
Children and animals are among the most pure channels for Divine wisdom, but we have been taught that someone without formal education cannot have anything of importance to say. And there is a belief that animals have no souls, so how could they be messengers? They can be messengers because no one has told them they cannot be. No one has instilled that self-doubt, that would keep them from believing it.
Sometimes those who have wronged you have messages. They do not realize they are messengers. They speak as though speaking for themselves, but they have something to say that has meaning for you, if you can put aside your feelings and hear it. This does not mean you condone what they have done. It's not about them. The message is for you. They are not the message, but the channel, unconscious or not. Do not let them spoil it for you. It is your gift from Spirit.
When you want an answer, or need to hear a special message, then ask; make the request; and listen. The message may be from God. Perhaps She is trying to tell you something.
Jinnzania's side notes: I was once asked by a man with whom I was having a relationship: "Why don't you love yourself as much as other people love you?" Ironically, when he proved himself to be a liar and a manipulator and caused more pain and heartbreak than I had ever felt in my life, I found out that his words were true. Many people did love me. Some of them so much that they wouldn't allow me to sell myself short. They came out of the woodwork to offer assistance any hour of the day or night. I had forgotten that message, because I was trying to forget him. The message had nothing to do with him. He had no amazing Divine wisdom. He could have read that on a bumper sticker. Spirit used him to send me a message. As I've learned to forgive and move on, I've become more open. I still struggle with that message, but it is coming in more clearly. If only it had come from my dog :(
