Oracular Consciousness: The Mythology of the Soul
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; the soul that rises with us, our life's star.
_________Wordsworth
We are engaged in the shifting of a world paradigm as eager souls seek truth, awakening, and divine guidance. Many factors indicate a striving in the heart of men and women as individuals rise up and align with this tremendous healing power available now. A great opening is taking place within the heart/fire of humanity. It is a calling...and it is unprecedented from any other time on earth...this I am certain. It isn't glamour, a fad, or a superficial good idea or feeling. This force of love that surrounds us now is pure and extraordinary...and it has been with us forever. As we attune to new levels of consciousness we may now develop a means from which to access this love force within our bodies, as it was always meant to be. In order to perceive and witness such beauty, we are guided and asked at this time to deepen our intuition, grace, and inward perception. We must be intentional and patient so that this beautiful source of light may ascend from the depths of the earth, like a great fire, burning so deeply at the core of our existence.
What is Oracular Consciousness?
We are engaged in an alchemical dance in which the soul of the individual and the world soul are synergistically attuned for the purpose of healing. For best results, a meditative frame of mind, prayerful attitude, and oracular consciousness must be brought to bear upon this sacred interaction. I cannot over sate the importance of combining these three elements--meditation, prayer, and oracular attunement--with the quest for new global awareness. We must use all of the tools at our disposal in order to align ourselves to the magnetic tone of the planet, which is, and will continue to be, to seek balance within nature and humanity. I offer a few words of explanation regarding their meaning and cultivation.
In the Buddhist frame of reference, one's Mind, or True Self, is like a deep, still ocean, on the surface of which impermanent waves of thought, feeling, and sensation continuously arise and perish, one after the other. This ocean of the Mind is inherently spacious, radiant, clear, awake, stable, pure, perfect, limitless, and indestructible. Regular meditation, of the sort that helps one identify with these enlightened qualities, while emptying the Mind of all attachments and aversions is an indispensable basis for attuning to the oracular wisdom embodied in us all.
The prayerful practice of asking for guidance and assistance from our High Self and our guides and guardians, makes good common sense.
Oracular attunement is similar to prayer in that it assumes a relationship to spirit and higher realities. We ask for guidance, assistance, courage, strength, and humility, as we open our hearts to the truest tasks of our soul and earthly mission. In a sense, we are the "oracle," yet we cannot occupy it's intelligence until we resort to a level of living that invites this awareness and mastery into our everyday life. We become attuned to myths, archetypes, nature, and the laws of karma. We come to understand our role in every day life situations and adhere, to our responsibility to establish truth in all actions and pursuits. We move beyond habits and fears great determination and insistence, for life is too great an opportunity to waste on negative thoughts and behaviors. We find the calling of our destiny by attuning to what we love best...and we do it, for this is our gift to others.
The mythology of the soul represents our historic quest for understanding, which is at the core of the evolution of consciousness. Heroes, heroines, saints, Gods, Goddesses--all arise out of the need for deeper knowledge, as well as a context within which to work through the many challenges of being human.
