this is quite an amazing story of the extreme measures god/allah/great spirit/the-all-there-is (you get the point) will take in order to point you in a different direction or to get you back on track. this story comes from a hypnotherapy session in which a man asked his therapist to find the reason for a very violent incident that happened to him when he was a kid.

during my interview with him, the man told me about a terrible incident that occurred when he was younger. he was attacked in an alley in a large city, stabbed repeatedly by a gang, and then left for dead. he managed to crawl out to the street where someone found him and took him to the hospital. he almost died and remained in the hospital for quite a while recuperating. one of the things he wanted to know during our session was the purpose of the horrible experience. why did it happen? during the session, when i contacted the subconscious and asked it that question, the answer was very surprising. it said, "oh, that was a group of his friends who volunteered to help him." i thought, with friends like that, who needs enemies! it didn't seem the type of thing a friend would do!

the subconscious explained that it had all been orchestrated from the other side. the man's life was going in the wrong direction, and he was not going to be able to get back on his path without drastic action that would turn his life around. there had been many subtle attempts to get his attention, and when these did not work, the attack was arranged. drastic, dramatic, unexplainable, yes, but it shows the extremes the universe will go to in order to turn someone's life around without having them physically exit this world. so, could it be the measure of a man's wisdom is his ability to pick up on the more subtle early nudges life gives him and go with the flow? instead of waiting for life to bang you on your head with a frying pan?
