Miracle Story 3: “Be a Man”

“Every time I recall this story or hear stories of others I get goosebumps and feel that cool tingly feeling sweep  through my body. When I was 18 or so, I spent a lot of my free-time time making hip hop beats and I sold those beats to rappers and singers all over the world. One evening I was in a park with a couple of friends and we were about to smoke a joint. I then received a text message from one of the rappers I was working with. This rapper was from the military and had suffered quite a bit of emotional trauma, perhaps from childhood or perhaps from being in the army, I`m not sure. The message was very alarming. I don’t recall the exact wording but he said he had had enough and was going to go out into public and take as many lives as he could. I immediately knew I had to reply to discourage this but I had NO IDEA what to say. My mind blanked. How do you reply to that?

Without thinking I texted him back: “Be a Man”. Time went by. A short while later I received another text from him. He said he had spent the last 20 Minutes crying. Turns out his Grandpa, who he was very close to, had just passed away. When he was stressed out he would talk to his Grandpa to ask for his advice. His Grandpa always had the same few words to tell him, and each time he heard these words, he was able to accept his problem, and work towards finding a solution. Those words were quite simple: “Be a Man”.

When he texted me this I felt that sweeping feeling of energy throughout my body. It’s so cool how thing like this can happen and we can be conduits to these acts simply by giving up on trying to figure it out and  letting it come to us or come through us”
