This oil painting by Leslie M. Taylor titled The Title of His Book is … leaves the viewer of the artwork to complete the title as they wish. Books can bring on actualized experiences in one’s life, therefore I would suggest choosing a title wisely for themselves or the loved one they envision as the subject in the painting. I have reported here below and in other posts of miracles and synchronicities (on this website [menu at top] and on my other website miraclesforall.com) correlated with pictures, stories or information in books. Please read below and on the two previous pages on this site for examples and proof. Miracles and synchronicites can become an ongoing, wondrous way of life for anyone willing to pay attention and acknowledge them. They can even be life saving
As mentioned on the previous page titled (D) Renowned Prophecies – Are They Accurate? [link below], I had read The Isaiah Effect and The God Code by Gregg Braden where in both books he referred to The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran [pub. 1923] – specifically the quote, “Work is love made visible.” As a result I decided to purchase The Prophet online the following day. As well, due to an article I read about the pop star singer Justin Bieber’s adverse reaction to the covid injections, facial paralysis, I decided to learn more about him. He’s quite famous and largely popular among adolescents, yet I knew nothing more about him than that including what he looked like so I decided to research him online the next day as well. Prior to doing either task that morning I went on a bike ride during which I rode past two outdoor Little Library cabinets filled with free used books. In the first one I found an autobiography and picture book about Justin Bieber which I perused and put back. Then, after riding a few miles further on, in the second cabinet I found The Prophet which I took home with me and read.
These synchronicities, or perhaps psychic teleportation of objects, didn’t stop there. What was not included in the essay on the previous page is, once home from the bike ride and online seeking a music video by Justin Bieber I clicked onto the first one I saw – his latest one titled Ghost. It is autobiographical about his beloved father’s passing and his wishing to communicate with his father’s spirit. Coincidentally, during this time I was (and still am as of this writing) working on a painting titled The Higher Realm Consultations featuring my recently deceased ex husband’s spirit in consultation with his 16 year old son which I plan on giving to his son to help him deal with the loss of his father. Adam, not my ex husband’s real name, worked as a consultant in the energy industry.
Well into my painting The Higher Realm Consultations and having learned that Kahlil Gibran’s second book Jesus the Son of Man was his next biggest seller following his tremendous success with The Prophet, I decided to purchase it. When I received it from Thrift books I noticed the artwork by Gibran on the cover. I had not seen this artwork of his prior to starting the painting.

The full, incomplete 30″ X 40″ painting as it currently stands a/o October 2024. My Nikon digital camera for some reason ceased producing high quality, detailed images of my artwork and it presents the images in a format that looks as though they were taken with a cellphone that requires much cropping – very frustrating.
Other than small synchronicities, which I do not ignore, the more miraculous events ceased for a while. Note: later and now as I am editing this article, they are off the charts.
One I will mention however occured while watching a video trailer featuring a scene from a Blues Brothers movie, Ghost Riders in the Sky, where a sudden thunder, lightning and rain storm kicks in while they are performing [Blues Brothers video link below]. At that very moment this dramatic weather condition suddenly bursts onto the scene outdoors where I live This same thing occurred again a few days later while watching another video online where rain, thunder and lightning suddenly broke out onscreen and outdoors simultaneously.
Years ago I was in a dangerous situation in the company of a very bad man while hiking along a path through some uninhabited hills in Colorado. Twice he asked me to walk with him off of the path to two no longer in use, old gold mine shaft openings – one horizontal to the ground and the other vertical and both just wide and long enough for a human body to get through. As we walked toward the first one, the toward the vertical mine shaft opening, the otherwise partly cloudy and sunny sky above suddenly darkened with thunder, lightning, and rain coming down. We both immediately began running back to the path and down the hill. Yet, the storm soon ceased. The sky largely cleared up and we slowed our pace to a walk. Yet another storm suddenly broke out at the approach of the second mine shaft when he told me to walk up to that opening. Again, we ran toward the parking lot and the storm again, just as suddenly as the first one, ceased. He commented on these strange coincidences. In this case I consider the possibility of divine intervention – not my time.
I am exceedingly worried for the young now. There is a hideous monster afoot presently, medically and technologically inflicting terrible harm on them, their families and future generations worldwide. So I thought, why not use what I experience and know about the miraculous – albeit thus far not generally spectacular or world saving. Regardless, I thought of artwork, in particular of a famous early 20th century oil painting by Lindberg featuring two children crossing a bridge with a guardian angel watching over them.
Lindberg’s painting is an excellent image turn our thoughts towards when seeing or thinking of children and worrying about them. Though lovely here, angels do not have wings, they don’t need them.
Then I thought “I should paint a similar theme.” Yet, I’m in the middle of a painting quite important to me; the one above of my recently deceased ex husband, Adam, and his son. Next I realized that I had already painted one, The Musical Path, but thought perhaps I should retitle it though I knew not what. Right after that thought, when seeking classical music to listen to online, I saw in the YouTube menu Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. Earlier that morning I listened to a talk by Dean Radin who scientifically researches paranormal abilities and events and publishes his findings. In the talk he mentioned that nobody knows how Mozart, a savant, did what he did. Dr. Radin added that there are individuals that will wake in the morning and suddenly, miraculously know how to play concert level classical music.
The next morning I watched the third of a series of five lectures from Hillsdale College on classical music and it featured Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute. I followed this up by watching some video clips of the opera [a 1975 Mozart/Bergman version link below] and afterwards found this written description: “Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute depicts the allegorical journey humanity takes from darkness to enlightenment with music, represented by a magical flute needed to unify humanity.”
My painting is currently titled The Musical Path but I’m considering changing it to The Magic Flute. Yet, they both work, do they not?

An example of a psychic healing technique one can try themselves, or a variation of their own making.
Around seven months ago, at the advent of spring 2024 (as of this writing), while in my reading or sacred room I tried placing the palms of my hands a few inches over my eyes and prayed for better vision. Due to my age it’s blurry and I need reading glasses of different magnifications depending on the work I am doing. Nothing happened, my vision is still blurry. Yet, soon after this while in bed and having awakened in the middle of the night with my hands strongly tingling, I tried this prayer technique with the palms of my hands placed just above my eyes. Since then I have not had any allergic reactions to pollen – swollen itchy eyes, sneezing and a runny nose that I’ve experienced for around two decades now where I’ve had to use eye drops and antihistamines throughout the spring season and a bit during the fall. It completely went away this year. Two people who experience this allergic reaction to pollen told me that this spring season seemed particularly bad for them.
I pondered the importance of feelings and meaningfulness associated with synchronicities. Repetition of thoughts and feelings and that the arts seem to contribute for they often include those very attributes. Music, the visual arts and literature – in particular spiritual, philosophical, metaphysics works and certainly reading of the miraculous experiences of others and writing one’s own experiences down seems to bring them on. As I emphatically stated in my first essay titled (D) Renowned Prophecies – Are They Accurate? that I do not indulge in or create horrific creative works, for they’ll generate actual materialized outcomes. Of course, wondrous synchronicities and miracles are also actual materialized outcomes that we do want and often pray for to counter the mess we’ve made not being careful about what we imagine or we place our attention.
Rocks and Minerals Treasure – Books Bring on Synchronicities!
I was riding my bike along the Boise River path near where I live in a part of Idaho called Treasure Valley and once again internally suggested that I come upon a treasure. I hadn’t done this since the last time I mentioned it on the prior page – at least three weeks had passed. I find that doing this too often or other similar type of miracle manifestations thoughts and activities just doesn’t work. The night before the bike ride and prior to falling asleep, I imagined what kind of treasure I would like to find: gold coins, ruby or sapphire crystals, diamonds, jewelry perhaps, I also thought of a crown. Who hasn’t wished to find these treasures?
At the start of the ride I envisioned these things inside a treasure chest (however unlikely), metal or jewelry box rather than just lying on the ground as if lost or cast aside. After riding for around twenty minutes I saw and rode past the first Little Library cabinet (where I found Justin Bieber’s autobiography) then a couple of miles further on I impulsively stopped at the second one (where I found The Prophet) in front of a grammar school. I must point out here that I have stopped at these Little Library cabinets, four in total that I’ve come across, and have looked inside them but six times over the course of riding my bike during the past four months. I never stopped at them before during the seven years I’ve lived in Boise, Idaho. I opened the door of the cabinet (a roughly 20″ X 15″ X 15″ metal box on a pole, like a mailbox) and without any expectations, just looking, I found a book inside titled Rocks and Minerals filled with photographs of beautiful crystals both common and some quite valuable including sapphires, rubies, diamonds. a crown and a treasure chest filled with gold coins.
Here’s a photo of the book cover and a look inside:
I should add that I love beautiful rocks and have a small rock collection possibly contributing to the synchronistic events. These events, past, present and future, come together resulting in what appears to be miraculous.
The book is an overview of valuable minerals, metals and jewels used for ornamentation, such as jewelry, as well as the industrial mining of ores and other minerals for building construction, fuel, the conduction of electricity, development of silicon chips and numerous other practical purposes. It’s a fascinating book. I’ve not before studied geology, rocks and minerals, nor the industrial mining and processing of these geological products. As we all know, it can be quite destructive to the environment. At the same time, I’ve learned that how the materials have been discovered and developed by humanity over centuries is really quite ingenious.
After finding and briefly reviewing the contents of the book and being quite in awe over the synchronistic images I followed up by again fantasizing about coming upon a hidden crown in a box somewhere, perhaps buried in the dirt. Then within two days I watched a BBC online video titled A Ghost Story for Christmas: A Warning to the Curious with Sir Christopher Lee [link below] about a buried Saxon crown that was found buried in the ground and brought a ghost along with it (do follow all of these synchronistic connections). This video showed up in my YouTube menu beneath a talk given by Dr. Rupert Sheldrake on angels and the Festival of the Michaelmas which is a Christian religious observance on September 29 in honor of St. Michael and all angels. I mention this because our activities, including just our thoughts, can be tracked online. This particular video showing up in the YouTube menu was the result of Dr. Sheldrake’s talk and not technological mind reading. I rarely watch spooky and never violent horror movies or videos, for I am aware that they and other forms of art can directly affect our personal daily experiences for good or ill. But for some reason I chose to watch this one. The story is so well narrated by Sir Christopher Lee with enchanting background settings, not to mention the crown synchronicity, it found it well worth watching. However, if I come across a crown buried in the dirt, I will certainly leave it there!
