The only message I thought I received from my long-dead Dad many years ago was: “Buy Toyota”. (He was right, but I didn’t pay attention.) Recently, I think he told me to “Buy Apple”.
Today’s headlines reveal that Apple Inc is on the move in many new directions, and not only does it remind me that I ignore my Dad’s advice, dead or alive, it reminds me of a conversation I had decades ago, in Los Angeles in the early ‘80’s.
It took place high up in an office building at Apple headquarters. One of the executives had me come in to do a psychic reading, and we sat at his desk overlooking the city. What came out seemed so hyperbolic I have never believed until now it might be correct. I thought I probably succumbed to the pressure to make the man feel good, as I remember stressing how successful the company would be. (At the time things were not good.). It came out that Apple was headed to be a huge player on the world stage, one of the select companies that played a giant role internationally and would be right there as the world changed, having a lot to do with everything.
The extraordinarily visionary vibe of Steve Jobs came through in the reading (I don’t remember who I read for, but I remember telling him how exciting it was to connect with the energy of the company and Job’s visionary ways because it gave me glimpses of the future. made me feel incredibly intelligent and expanded my consciousness. ) When I heard in 1997 that Jobs was coming back to Apple to be the interim president, I bought the stock. (Then I forgot what a genius he was, and sold way too soon.) Maybe Apple is going to morph, like an entity that figures out how to master organizing on a much bigger level, into something much more fantastic. People are capable of amazing things.
