Omens And Oracles

Sometimes human beings undervalue intuition and forget that rationalism is fallible.

Because our current store of knowledge is inconclusive and our sensory perception limited, we must make room for the indeterminate and the unforeseen as consciousness evolves.

Our present understanding is always tentative, experimental, relative. We refuse to admit this, thinking that our current estimation of truth is complete.

Optimists are vain in this regard. In their exaggerated enthusiasm, they overestimate the reach of rationalism. Pessimists of course are just as limited in their underestimation of the marvels and miracles that continue to break through the veneer of reality.



All knowledge-seeking is an investigation, merely an attempt to understand. We can't fully grasp the complexity of truth, its absolute wholeness and paradoxical nature, but we can open ourselves up to the mystery and awaken our latent talents.

There are always other avenues available to the investigator of knowledge and truth.

It is fair to say that we could all benefit from developing a certain double-mindedness so that we can grow more comfortable with paradox because paradox is the rule and not the exception.

Our consciousness will remain limited to what we see, hear, touch, taste and smell until we begin to utilize our inherent gifts of telepathy and clairvoyance.



It is important to review our current conjectures. Rational explanations are not always forthcoming and that's all for the best. We should always leave ourselves open to mystical elements. We should not be too eager for strict interpretations of our place or purpose in the larger scheme of things.

The strict logician refuses to open his senses to the divinatory aspect of human consciousness and is therefore unable to see and hear his way into other worlds.

Because he finds the prophetic, problematic, he seeks evidence to support his incomprehension.

We must not be blinded by hope or despair. The ultimate nature of the riddle of the universe will not be fully discerned by either the credulous or the skeptical.

We must move beyond skepticism and superstition to even grasp an iota of the complexity of our role as humans in this vast universe.

There are always unknown quantities lurking beneath the surface of what we call reality.



We are presently living in a dark age, an age of bewilderment. Our ignorance about the nature of our place in the universe and our ultimate purpose is fast becoming our ticket to oblivion.

We have misinterpreted our place in the scheme of things. What we once thought was wisdom has proved to be folly. Our overuse of land and sea, our misuse and abuse of Earth and her elements have brought us to the brink of extinction.

For far too long we have ignored the omens and the oracles and refused to trust our instincts. Unwilling to heed the augurs who warned us, we now await our collective demise.

We have refused to question our way of thinking, our way of living. Our beliefs and ideals mired in greed and fear have led us astray. And still we rely too heavily on reason as if reason will get us out of this tangled web.



Ancient knowledge essential to our survival as a species has been lost or buried. Unexplored yet inherent powers of mind. Our wild nature, our capacity for oracular visions, our connection to the stars. What we call metaphysics and relegate to the margins of our culture. Within these mysteries is the other side of truth.

We must reimagine reason not as the ultimate measurement of truth, but as a limited partial view of it. We must come to trust and understand our heart's core. We have neglected our spirits for too long in our worship of logic.

The poet and the mystic, at home in the realm of soul and open to exploring the enigmas that await them, peep behind the curtain to catch a glimpse of a larger, more paradoxical truth.

Willing to live with the contradictions, the strange enigmas they might find on the other side, they eagerly traverse the confines of reason to discover new possibilities, new practical applications for a wider and wilder reality.



What was once considered impossible now becomes possible. What was once considered contrary to reason is no longer unreasonable.

Unafraid to digress, fly off at a tangent, or even jump the track altogether the visionary or dream voyager exploring human consciousness, is more than willing to ask outlandish questions and wander beyond the borders of reason.

At ease with ambiguity and open to new adventures in other dimensions of reality, he probes the secrets of the universe, rousing the cosmic consciousness of a sleeping giant.
