Glitch Log #18 ~ The Little Green Man Incident

In which the universe gets super specific about how I need to deal with my ****! And the coincidences get really freaky!

One morning in my meditation I got to thinking about the phrase ‘Heal thyself’, in fact I was so distracted by it that I paused my meditation and started investigating it on the internet. The question was whether or not the words of Jesus actually included the phrase ‘Heal thyself’? In all my years in church I couldn’t recall that exact phrase being in the bible but someone had mentioned it and I was intrigued. This person had taken action in their life to heal themself because of it, so the phrase was powerful enough that it stuck with them. And that had stuck with me. So there I was doing a little deep dive. I found that it is not in the traditional canon but is in gnostic gospels – Interesting!

After that I decided to pull a tarot card. The card I pulled was The Devil. In that moment I interpreted that card to be about overcoming your own subconscious and shadow behaviours, (I asked ‘What shadows do I need to deal with?’) To some degree dealing with those is healing myself. The affirmation for that card in my little book of interpretations read ‘In the darkness I am free to heal everything’. Oh, what a synchronous card! I made a note of all this in my journal, but it doesn’t stop there.

That evening as I was cooking dinner I started watching an episode of Northern Exposure. I love Northern Exposure. I interrupted the terrible murder mystery series to continue NE and I’ve been watching the whole box set in sequence. So here’s the really weird part! The episode that came on that evening was entitled ‘Heal Thyself’ and in it Ed, who is a trainee Shaman, starts being followed around by a little green man with longish hair (emitting CGI sparkles) that only Ed can see. It turns out that the little green man is his inner demon and he’s the worst of all demons. He is the demon of self-doubt, and he attempts to undermine and sabotage everything Ed does. (I’ve included stills from the show of The Little Green Man below).

The demon says “True confessions, what I really want is to completely incapacitate you with self doubt so that eventually you won’t have enough inner strength to get yourself up out of a chair! Are you with me, Ed?

“No, says Ed “I don’t understand you?”

“Self doubt. I want to fill your life with fear, anxiety, misgivings, the whole nine course dinner!”

For a while Ed plays the victim. But in the story Ed eventually has take responsibility and overcome his inner demon in order to heal himself before he can continue his shamanic training and heal others. Then he helps another herself by overcoming her inner demon of external validation!

What the actual ****?? Wow! What a double whammy message from the universe with extra specific detail! I consider myself ‘Told!’ Especially as I had been wrestling with my own self-esteem lately. And also, that the little green man bares a similarity to The Devil card I pulled from my deck: The card is green and the devilish man depicted with sparkles in his hair invites submission.

Now if you were not convinced by all the other weird coincidences manifesting through my TV shows you have to admit that this one is the most specific of the lot so far! It also seemed to come with a message this time which is bonkers and amazing! I am no longer questioning that this is really happening, that my reality is not as ‘real’ as I thought it was and seems to shift in response to my thoughts, beliefs, life challenges and requests (Despite the fact that this show was made three decades ago and I was watching them in sequence) – It obviously does. The question now is how do I relate to it? How do we relate to it? How do you relate to it?

I guess it could also be that time is not linear and future me decided to give past me a heads up to pay special attention to the ‘Heal Thyself’ episode of Northern Exposure – Either way its pretty amazing?!

I shall ponder and muse upon these questions another time. In the meantime, let me know if you have any weirdness showing up in your life?

Love,
