Not Everything Is a Sign—and I Think That Matters

Not Everything Needs a Spiritual Explanation

I spend a lot of time working with websites, domains, redirects, hosting, and all the little technical problems that come with building things online. That side of my life has taught me something important: sometimes a problem is simply a problem.

If a DNS setting is wrong, it is wrong. If a redirect keeps looping, I do not need to wonder whether the universe is trying to send me a message. I need to find the bad setting and fix it.

I actually appreciate that kind of clarity.

What surprised me is how much my technical side and spiritual side have ended up teaching me in similar ways. In both areas, I learn by trying something, watching what happens, noticing what does not work, making an adjustment, and trying again.

That is also how I have approached intuition. I do not want to believe something only because somebody else says I should. I would rather experience it, test what I can, and pay attention to what actually happens.

Of course, not everything spiritual can be measured like a website setting. I am okay with that. I can leave room for mystery without turning every coincidence, delay, or strange moment into a sign.

That balance matters to me. The practical side of me wants evidence. The spiritual side of me has learned to stay open to things I may not fully understand.

Sometimes the most honest answer is simply, “I don’t know.”

I think being comfortable with that answer has made me more open, not less spiritual.
