Yesterday I found where the rainforest meets the ocean. It was such a beautiful and powerful combination of elements.
I've always loved the ocean and revere it for the depths of its Mysteries and its representation of emotions. It's taken work, but I'm comfortable with the emotional arena for my self.
The forest is another matter. To me it represents the subconscious and the wildness of my untamed mind and thoughts. And somehow that scares me, all the things my mind can create.
This became clear to me yesterday, as I drove back from the beach through very unfamiliar forested roads. It was dark and I became scared as my mind created stories to feed my fear.
But spirit presented to me, two signs which showed me that its time to focus on feeding clarity of mind, not illusions of mind.
The first was a vulture, feasting on the side of the road. Vultures represent air and clarity of mind. They also represent death and mortality - this scared me and I thought it was a bad omen. But I've since realized that this was/is a sign to face my fears and to find the majesty in balancing life with the undesirable parts of life (death) which I tend to fear. Because in that moment it was my mind that created the story of the bad omen.
The second sign came a few minutes later, perhaps because spirit realized the first sign didn't quite have the intended massage, but maybe also because there are lessons in both.
I saw 6 eagles in the road which flew away as I drove by. This was unusual and clearly a sign from spirit about mastering the qualities of the air element, as they are rulers of the sky and have no tolerance for destructive fantasies, which I had been engaging in.
I know that somewhere deep in the forest is my heart's desire. It's surrounded by a wall of my subconscious fears.
I've recieved two clear messages that it's time for me to step away from the ocean for now and walk bravely into the forest, one slow step at a time, focusing on clarity of mind with each step to face my subconscious fears.
Thank you spirit for showing me this and for guiding me so elegantly and with unimaginably perfect timing 🦅💦💨
