I am an
omen. You do not know who I am because you have not been taught about omens. Once
all school children could recognize omens because they had read in Holy writ
about omens which were integral to life as the ancient people knew it.
This you
now scoff at.
Omens were
and ARE signs for the future. We portend what will become. We are not created
by men because we point to things men cannot imagine. We are not the “coming soon”
signs. We are world-happenings, like eclipses, earthquakes, the darkening of
the sun or moon, asteroids, falling of mountains, death of species created by
the world-creator.
There once
were people who could experience these signs and explain their meaning – what they
portended. And, once dreams could be interpreted.
Now, “learned”
people - or perhaps even entire cultures - can see no future. No omens exist any more. All dreams are relegated to personal psychic disturbances. Some cultures
experience no Angels, believe that “global” anything” cannot be true and discount
things so large as superstition. Only their scientists believe what they personally know to be true.
Is this in
itself an omen?
WHY AM I HERE?
You have
always been presented with omens. All around you are signs “of the times” which
you may ignore or not. You may only be aware of small omens for your own
personal life. Can you even extend your gaze wide enough to see the
generational omens, national omens, international omens?
When you
expand your gaze wide enough to include as much as you can, you may have
feelings arise. Joy, gratitude, connection, concern, even fear or doubt. Consider
a certain part of your world, of THE world, and note the feelings which arise.
These are your intuitive feelings about that part of life. Perhaps you will even experience compassion. You may even become
aware of a specific “trigger” for these feelings. What does the future look
like for this part of your life?
In this way
you participate in the world’s becoming. You de-isolate yourself. You may be
able to connect in new ways with the world and find your way back to connection with the spiritual world.
WHAT DO I WANT?
The development or
evolution of our consciousness has left us as “observers”, scientific thinkers, doubters and skeptics of anything not-physical or material -- essentially disconnected from
the spiritual world.
In many ways, the spiritual world relies on we humans to be responsible for life. Omens arise in our consciousness when we have been able to “turn to an ancient principle” – “matter is never without spirit.”
In many ways, the spiritual world relies on we humans to be responsible for life. Omens arise in our consciousness when we have been able to “turn to an ancient principle” – “matter is never without spirit.”
Here is that ancient principle articulated by Rudolf Steiner
(1861-1925):
"Seek the truly
practical material life,
but seek it so that it
does not numb you to the spirit which is active in it.
Seek the spirit, but seek
it not in passion for the supersensible, out of supersensible egoism,
but seek it so that you
wish to apply it selflessly
in the practical life in
the practical world.
Turn to the ancient
principle,
matter is never without
spirit and spirit is never without matter,
in such a way that we say
we will to do all material things in the light of the spirit
and we will so to seek the
light of the spirit,
so that it evokes warmth
for us in our practical activities."
