Greetings all,
I hope your week has gone well. It's funny when I started this blog I never meant to give such a clear picture of the inner workings of my mind. I have a less than trusting nature, and letting people in has not been my strong point. The benefit of this blog for me has been that it has helped me understand the interplay of my thoughts, emotions, and life patterns. Weekly posts also helped to condition me to write steadily which was immensely useful when I was in process with my book. I wrote myself out of a plot hole in my own life's story here and I appreciate all of you who have joined in and shared my words, now to business.
Chance and Fate have always played a significant role in my life. Now I'm not what you would think of as traditionally lucky. I don't find 4 leaf clovers, gambling has never been a strong talent, and pennies haven't rained down from heaven for me (well except that one time but that was part of a cosmic joke where I was the punchline so we're not counting that). I am lucky in the sense that I have a lot of near misses with tragedy. I'm also lucky in the fact that I seem to be plugged into a bit of the Universe's secret language of symbols. I'd say I have a lucky knack of synchronicity. Whether it is a natural talent or a skill I'm not sure. I certainly have noticed that the more attention I give it the more of it seems to show up, but I also have a natural inclination to pay attention to such things.
Pattern is all around us. Our bodies are patterned with DNA, our clothes have a signature weave. The flow of traffic however chaotic also has pattern. The seasons, the tides, the phases of the moon, the growth of trees, and the shells of sea life; they all have pattern. Events have them too, and from those we craft our stories. Now many of our stories are like others', but some stories are almost completely our own. Now if I indeed have this way with synchronicity it all comes down to one choice I made long ago...my story would have magic in it. This choice set my story apart from most of the mainstream world. I've lost some things, but gained others. The rich inner life of dreams, visions, and chance encounters has definitely been a treasure.
I have been dreaming true again. When I was in school I remember dreaming of test questions, and sure enough those were the questions that came on test day. These days my dreams aren't about those kinds of tests; they advise, connect, and sometimes warn. I have been dreaming of the phoenix this past month. In three separate dreams the magical bird that is reborn from its own ashes has given me nighttime visions. The last dream showed a phoenix coming down to watch me drum for the winter solstice to battle the darkness and bring back the light. So this solstice the drumming will be dedicated to the phoenix. I know it will be a very powerful ceremony and great change awaits us in the coming months, there is reason for hope in the new year.
Sometimes my dreams bleed over more blatantly into my waking world. This week I dreamed I was practicing a new form, the Sparrow Hawk Hsing I form. I recently purchased some educational videos on animal forms, but had only so far learned horse. I had tried viewing the sparrow hawk form but couldn't wrap my mind around it. Well in the dream I was practicing it (or at least attempting it). The next day as I ate lunch a hawk came and landed on the neighbor's goalpost, and turned to look into the window directly at me. It stayed there for an extended period of time looking calmly at me. When it finally flew off I knew it was time to try the form again. I have been working on it for a few days now, and while I am still not convinced I am truly getting it, I was able to get started. It was as if my mind just wasn't ready for it until now. It is times like these that I feel lucky. It is so easy to forget amidst the madness of the modern world the underlying connection and power that exists within nature and within ourselves.
So why am I telling you this? Well I don't think I'm the only one out there with a penchant for synchronous happenings. I think more of you are plugged in than realize it. Many of us ignore those twinges of fortune when they occur. We shrug them off as coincidences and go about our busy lives. We have things to do after all, there's no time for questing, and really that is just a windmill over there in the field...right? Well my darling readers if you are following these words the odds are good that the Universe has been laying keys to other realms at your feet. I mean you're reading this blog out of all the other ones on the internet. Do you think that is just random chance at work? I assure you it isn't. You were meant to see these words, you were meant to begin pondering the deeper meanings of life's patterns. You were meant to find the doors that fit the keys you've been given. So this week start paying attention. Are your dreams sending you coded messages? Are the street signs pointing the way beyond an address. Does the next song on the playlist have a message from another world for you? Follow the breadcrumbs and see where you end up.
Peace and Blessings,
Thomas Mooneagle
