Cold Call

Three weeks into the experiment, I had a ritual down to pat. The bench, the blanket, the headphones. Open Insight Timer, scroll. Sometimes I typed a word into the search bar; mostly I let the algorithm decide. Archangels, singing bowls, a man drumming in what sounded like a stairwell. I took what came.

I was also deep into a podcast about the medium Edgar Cayce, and one episode covered angels, faeries, and the unseen forces around us. The host said we all have the ability to see these beings in other dimensions. We just have to be open to it, at the right consciousness. I was totally into that, but really? From the journal, January 20th: “It will be a sign I’m in the right direction if I see one of these unseen forces like a faerie or brownie. Hopefully I will realize it when it happens!!”

Two exclamation points. It was kind of a joke, but secretly, I wanted that sign.

The same day, I hung a whiteboard in my home office. My wife informed me I couldn’t leave it blank, that a whiteboard needs something written on it. Fine. I wrote my job description: Sell wine. And underneath, my loftiest professional goal: DRC.

If you don’t sell wine for a living: DRC is Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, the most exalted producer in Burgundy. And the most expensive…like $5000 a bottle expensive. The kind of wine that gets allocated, fought over, and locked in cages. Nobody needs to be “sold” DRC. Writing it on a whiteboard was pure aspiration.

That afternoon, my phone rang. In wine sales these days, the phone does not ring. New clients do not call you; you chase them, charm them, buy them lunch. But there he was, a brand new client, out of nowhere. He wanted DRC. He bought everything I had, asked what else I could get, and wanted other high-end wines while I was at it.

His name was Jason Angel.

I ask to see an angel. Within a day, an Angel calls me on the telephone and buys the exact wine written on my whiteboard. Not a shimmering being of light. A client. With a purchase order.

From the journal, January 21st: “Is it a sign? I have to say yes on that one. Obviously I have not raised my vibration enough to see an angel but I think I’m on the right track.”

I told you in my first post that the universe is very literal. This was the first time I caught it in the act, filling an order exactly as written, down to the name. It would not be the last. (There’s still that phone call involving a 401K and seventy-seven thousand dollars. Soon.)

I still have the whiteboard. I’m a little more careful what I write on it now.
