You see all those Sign Posts on the Highway that guide you as you drive towards your destinations? There are ones that tell you what Speed Limit to ride on, ones that tell you where the Exit to the Left or Right is headed, and ones that tell you where the next Rest Stop & Fuel Station is. So you are guided in an informed manner as you traverse your journey unto your destination.
The Universe, or Omniverse as some have chosen to call it due to the unending expanse of its evolution, is very much the same. In this great big Universe, there are many worlds acting together in the synergies of energies to foster Cosmic Harmony, and the Evolution born of it. Earth is one of these Worlds, and on Earth we will find the Race of Beings called Humans. On Earth, the Human is vested with a Spirit that breathes life into the physical embodiment of its Spirit. And it is this Spirit that has taken on the Materiality of a Body to; trigger its remembrance, remember its awakening & awaken its evolution in this one lifetime. Thus we come to find in the long run that; the Journey of Spirit, cloaked in a Body, on the Plane of Materiality called Earth, to fulfill in full or in aspects, its evolutionary mission, is the primary reason for our birth. Such that if that be the case, then the Body of Flesh shall be but a Temple that provides shelter & nourishment for the Spirit, as the Spirit travels through this Material Plane in fulfillment of its incarnate mission.
For the Spirit to see & feel its way through on Earth, the Guidance of Spirit is called for, and this guidance is often times embodied in the phenomena all around us. Because just as in our Earthly Body we will find an animating Spirit, so in the Earthly Vessels of; Trees, Mountains, Seas, Forests, Winds, Fire, Clouds, Moon & Sun, we will find an equally animating Spirit counterpart responsible for their Sentience & Consciousness. Yet of all these, the Human Spirit falls at the commanding center of them all. And in the Human Spirit thus has been vested a certain Duty of Stewardship. As the commanding center of all Spirit phenomena on Earth, it is worthy of note that; all other Spirit phenomena as cited above are inevitably tied to the Human Spirit in a way that allows the Human Spirit to see itself, the purpose given it, and the pathways leading to the fulfillment of that purpose in all of Creation itself.
So the truth narrative here is that, if we paid deep attention enough to; the speed, character & direction of the wind, the leaps of tongues of flames, the rise & fall of tidal waves, the sprout & fall of leaves, the subtle tremors of the Earth, the stretch & luminosity of lightning across the sky, the rhythmic resonation of thunder through the ethers, the shape & sway of the clouds, the pattern & fall of rain, the innocent chatter of a toddler, the timely honk of a car, the flash of a number sequence on a television screen, the shattering fall of a glass bottle, the surge of a familiar song in your head, the creak of an oak door, and that all too familiar quiet voice in the stillness of the Spirit, we will find in all these seeming isolated ‘normal’ happenings a certain reflection of; our Selfs, our Purpose, and the Pathways leading to the fulfillment of the Purpose vested in the Self. More especially when we lift up our silent Prayer of Guidance, to help see & feel our way through.
The Natural Phenomena and the seeming Mundane Normal Events cited above thus become Omens, purporting indubitably; who we are, why we are, and where we are headed, if we paid humble attention. Sometimes these Omens act in perfect & symmetrical coordinations to give us a clear message in answer to our silent heartfelt requests & inquiries. Like for instance, a young graduate gets invited to a job interview for a job role in an advertising firm he has applied for. Yet he is unsure as to whether he can fully commit to giving the job his finest because his own interests lies in Teaching. But he has to somehow settle-in for the well-paid advertising job role because obviously the Teacher’s salary doesn’t match up to it, and as the Eldest Son, he has a family to feed & care for. So what does he do? On the dawn of the interview he prays in his heart to the Great Spirit, to The Father, to God in search of guidance, and waits to hear from Him. The still voice carrying his expected answers never came. So when the Sun came up, he begun to ready up for the interview. The door knob to the bathroom broke when held it, he had to force open the bathroom door, yet he didn’t make much of it. When he outed the shower to go press his clothes, the first shirt singed on the front beneath the iron’s heat, and when he pulled out a second, the iron snapped and went cold. He had to make do with last week’s sweat scented one so he could make the time. Finally when he was about to step out go catch the bus, the rains came down with such force it felt as though Noah had built another Ark. And a few minutes later, he finally received an affirmation email to inform him that the interview had been cancelled due to the weather conditions. Then it all fell in perspective for him; his silent Prayer for Guidance, and the series of seemingly unfortunate events that followed. The discerning Human will pick up on the; ‘don’t waste your time on that interview’ message being channelled through if they paid attention, for often times the obstacles are placed so we can have a detour from what will not serve our highest interest in the long run.
The Omens are thus with us always, for again they are the direct reflections of our internal state of affairs, where the yearnings of our Soul is concerned, and where the fulfillment of the Human Spirit is called to question!
