Looking for signs around you is the most natural act in the world. Humans have always used omens or signs to figure out the world around them.
Examples abound of how our ancestors used signs to understand their world. Our seafaring ancestors needed all the help they could get to navigate the seas. Birds, for example, indicated that land was nearby. An equally important divination tool was to use the stars and planets to understand the world. Astrology was the study (ology) of stars (astro).
Our ancestors paid careful attention to the land, seas, skies, and also the seasons, connecting with the rhythms of their times. The clouds were seen as a kind of mirror in which people could see themselves and receive messages.
In our current day, we can still benefit from using our intuition and paying attention to how it expresses itself in the signs around us. Perhaps you are driving and thinking about a certain situation. Have you noticed certain license plates around you that seem to be giving you a message? Subway signs, radio songs, billboards–simply “ask” for a sign and you will receive one. So what if you receive a sign? How might you interpret it? Let’s take the letter “C” for instance. It might mean:
–The letter “C”
–The Spanish word for “yes”
–A word beginning with the letter “C”
–The Sea (water)
–Something shaped like the letter “C”!
Connect with and understand the way in which your world can communicate with you. It will bring a little magic into your life!
@Lisa, don’t worry about it, you’re not fooling yourself, you’re learning about yourself. When you look for signs around you, you’re actually tapping into your deepest desires and intuitions of your subconscious.
Okay, good! I do this all the time. But how do we keep from fooling ourselves by seeing what we want to see (subconsciously) in these signs?
