Vietnamese New Year is just around the corner, and I find myself reflecting on a moment from years past that still lingers in my consciousness—one that revealed the depth of true communication, beyond words, beyond language, beyond even culture.
The Evolution of Communication
Telepathic communication is the belief in one’s ability to connect and understand without relying solely on words. Once, we thought that effective communication was defined by how clearly and succinctly we could articulate our thoughts. If we could express ourselves well enough, the meaning would naturally transfer to the listener.
Now, we have social media, where ideas are reduced to sound bites—misspelled, under-punctuated (or overly exclaimed!) bursts of thought, complete with emojis to compensate for lost nuance. Somehow, this digital shorthand conveys entire emotions, moods, and emphatic gestures. But does it truly deepen our understanding? Or have we merely found new ways to disguise the deeper truths waiting to be uncovered?
Which leads me to the greater question: What forms the basis of true communication?
To communicate effectively is to bring clarity—not just to others, but to ourselves. Meaning is always shaped by context. Take the phrase “I struck gold.” A hundred years ago, it would have meant a literal discovery of wealth. Still, today, we use it metaphorically to describe abundance in any form—success, wisdom, love, or even spiritual fulfillment. The phrase has not lost meaning but instead evolved, deepened, and expanded.
Which brings me to a moment that changed the way I understand communication entirely.
A Lesson in Silent Understanding
Years ago, I sat in a nail salon on the eve of the Vietnamese New Year, surrounded by the rhythmic hum of conversation in Vietnamese. The shop owners spoke to one another fluently in their native tongue, occasionally addressing me in Vietnamese before catching themselves and laughing at the mistake.
I didn’t mind. In fact, I listened more intently.
A television screen played a live stream from Vietnam—a bustling market filled with rows upon rows of potted plants, their blooms carefully timed to open precisely on New Year’s Day. Stunning orchids, delicate bonsai, and vibrant flowers lined the streets, each a symbol of prosperity and renewal.
One of the shop owners, an elderly gentleman, turned to me, wanting me to understand the significance of these plants. With his wife’s help, he translated:
"One hundred U.S. dollars is roughly 2,000 Vietnamese dong."
I looked at the screen. The price tags on the potted plants ranged from 500 to 20,000 dong.
"Wow," I said, "they must take so much work. They’re already so big and beautiful."
He paused for a moment, as if searching for the perfect word, then simply said:
"Planning."
And in that moment, I knew what he meant—not just intellectually, but energetically. My heart chakra expanded in response to the word.
It wasn’t just about tending to a plant. It was about the intention, the care, and the wisdom required to cultivate something truly meaningful. These plants had been nurtured for months—perhaps even years—so they would bloom at precisely the right time.
They were not just flowers. They were symbols. They embodied alignment, patience, and the unseen effort that makes beauty possible.
For an hour, we sat together watching the live stream—two cultures, two languages, yet completely understanding one another. And in that space, I found myself somewhere else entirely. I was in Vietnam, witnessing the New Year alongside my newfound friends. I was also in the presence of my grandparents, who had long since crossed over but felt closer than ever, as if they had come to witness the event, too.
I was in communion with something far greater than words could ever capture.
Because telepathic communication, at its highest level, is not about words at all.
It is about resonance.
It is about seeing beyond the surface, beyond the veil of form, and touching the truth hidden beneath.
The Spiritual Meaning of Symbols: Finding Clarity on the Path
This experience reminds me of a passage from Light of the Soul, Alice Bailey’s paraphrase of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali:
"The reading of symbols produces contact with the soul."
A symbol is not just an image or a phrase—it is a veil that conceals a deeper truth. Every form we encounter in life, whether a person, a circumstance, or a dream, is a symbol containing a message from the divine.
The spiritual path is one of learning to read these symbols. To see beyond the immediate form and recognize the underlying wisdom waiting to be revealed.
Patanjali outlines five attitudes that lead to true understanding:
Toward Our Lower Nature – Internal & External Purification
Clearing the mental and emotional clutter that distorts perception.
Toward Our Life Circumstances – Contentment & Acceptance
Recognizing that every experience, no matter how difficult, holds a deeper lesson.
Toward Our Soul – Fiery Aspiration
A relentless pursuit of truth, seeking the divine beneath all appearances.
Toward Our Environment – Spiritual Reading (Seeing Symbols Clearly)
Understanding that every person, challenge, and opportunity is a message from the universe.
Toward God – Devotion to the One Presence
Trusting in the divine orchestration of our journey.
When we learn to read our circumstances as symbols, life itself becomes a sacred text—guiding us toward clarity, healing, and transformation.
Bringing It All Together: Translating Your Own Circumstances
As a psychic medium and spiritual guide, my role is to help others see beyond the surface—to recognize the symbols presenting themselves in their lives and translate them into clear direction and insight. Whether through mediumship, dowsing, or intuitive guidance, my work is rooted in the same fundamental principle:
Everything is a message. Everything is a symbol. Everything is leading you somewhere.
Just as the plants of the Vietnamese New Year bloom at precisely the right moment, so too does our spiritual journey unfold in perfect timing.
If you’re seeking clarity—whether about a personal situation, a life transition, or a deeper connection with your soul—let’s explore the symbols together.
Because sometimes, a single word—spoken at the right moment—can change everything.
