Meditation for February 15th, 2016
Symbols
Religions and spiritual movements have used symbols to help mortals look into the celestial world. People use tarot cards, palm readings, horoscopes, tea reading and raccoon innards readings. Runes and the letters of our own alphabet have strong ties to other meanings.
Thes symbols are everywhere in our daily lives, we just have to look for them. We can make a decision about what to do with our lives by just being open to the symbols the Gods and Goddesses place before us. Did you make it the intersection when the walk sign is on, or did you have to wait through the orange hand or did you have to run across the street because the hand was blinking when you started, but had to jump out of the way of a speeding El Camino.
A little known facts is people in marketing and advertising place symbols throughout their ads. All a person has to do is read into them. If you are facing indecision, open up a Maxim magazine, pay attention to billboards or listen to the radio and visualize the advertisements and see the symbols.
The entire McDonalds ad campaign uses the entire Egyptian pictograph alphabet and if you played all of them, Ra would resurface and burn the earth.
Next time you walk or drive around, look around and see the symbols around you and see if you can interpret those symbols to help you see your future.
Prayer
Ra,
let me know my future of this shitty job,
by the billboards I stare at as I am stuck in bumper to bumper traffic listening to FM classic rock.
Let the ads I hear about engagement rings, reverse mortgages and Target to guide me in my decision on if I should break up or ask to marry.
Santana,
I don’t know what to do.
If I do this, I’ll hurt these people,
or if I do this I will hurt myself.
Some people say to do this,
other people say to do something else,
and everyone else tells me to either go with my gut, that I already know what to do, or tell me to use THC.
I wind up just as the indecisive as I was before.
I am losing sleep, I can’t eat, I am losing my hair.
I just don’t know if I should stop using Facebook or not
Amen.
Craft
As you go out through your day, put your own symbol on walls, trees, back of cars and on the back of people.
This way other people can find symbols to guide their own lives. You can be someone’s Urban Shaman.
Goal
Look between the lines. Look at the space between spaces. Look at the world behind the world. Look for the symbols to help bring you in concert with the universe.
