When you feel shut out by the unseen: what “not yet” really means
At some point, everyone—leaders, creatives, parents, or seekers—has felt a door close just when they were reaching for connection or clarity. A job falls through. A plan stalls. Or, in quieter moments, we sense that something we’re reaching toward simply isn’t answering back.
But what if rejection isn’t rejection at all? What if what we’re experiencing is simply a redirection—an invitation to shift how we listen, ask, or engage?
When “no” might actually mean “not this way”
We tend to interpret silence as absence. Yet often, the signal isn’t gone—it’s just not tuned to the channel we’re using.
In this week’s episode, I shared a story about someone who believed they’d “offended” their spiritual guides after hiring a medium who said they weren’t a match. That conclusion was wrong. The truth? Support was there all along—they simply needed to adjust how they connected.
The same principle applies in every area of life: communication breaks down not because connection disappears, but because we’re not listening through the right medium.
Leadership, relationships, creativity—all thrive when we remember to change the channel, not abandon the message.
Three practical tips to strengthen the connection
Ask Directly, Then Notice
Clear, respectful asks open clear channels. Whether you’re asking a colleague, a loved one, or the unseen for support—state what you need and stay aware of what follows. Subtle answers often arrive first.Change the Channel, Not the Goal
If a quiet practice feels empty, try a different medium: journal your questions, speak them aloud, or visualize a dialogue. Engagement builds recognition and trust over time.Use the Imaginal Space as a Perceptive Tool
Treat imagination as a valid instrument for awareness. Let images unfold naturally and record what you sense. Validation often comes through repetition and refinement—not through force.
What to remember when communication feels blocked
When guidance feels out of reach, it doesn’t mean you’ve been shut out or are “unworthy.” It often means the form of your inquiry needs refinement.
The next time you feel ignored—by life, by circumstance, or by something greater—pause and ask: What’s another way I could open this conversation?
Sometimes the signal isn’t gone. It’s waiting for you to listen differently.
Questions worth sitting with
What kind of communication am I truly open to receiving?
How might I ask more clearly for what I need?
Where am I assuming rejection instead of exploring redirection?
