Read the Signs

"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why."
-- Albert Einstein

Many of us who are sensitive to shifting energies have noted an increase in unexpected developments over the past several months. We can expect to see ever increasing volatility around us in the future, because so much many things really are changing that fast. As both human population and the number of new technological inventions undergo near exponential growth, it is inevitable that we begin to feel the effects of all this change on an intuitive level. The net impact of so much transformation going on all around us is that we constantly find ourselves in surprising situations which require us to solve problems we did not expect we would have to deal with. We are entering times which require that we be increasingly adept at intuitively reading signs and signals from the universe, in order to get things back on track, make timely decisions, and revise our plans.

While most people today depend extensively on cell phones, the internet, GPS devices, and a variety of electronic devices for information on how best to get where we are going, ancient navigators managed amazingly well by paying close attention to the color of the ocean water, birds, stars, and clouds to find land when traveling by sea. They found land masses which had been previously uncharted when out in the open sea with limited water rations. Our ancestors accomplished these navigational feats with a combination of intuitive gut feelings, natural experience, and keen observation of a wide variety of natural signs. We might feel uncomfortable imagining ourselves without our technology to guide us, but we can be reassured to know that we can be guided by intuitively reading the signs around us.



Cynthia Sue Larson on Virtual Light Broadcast

This past month during my time in Las Vegas where I was a guest on the Virtual Light Broadcast, I visited some petroglyphs in the Nevada desert with friends, and enjoyed being able to literally read "the writing on the wall." In this case, the writing was in the form of colorful images of people, animals, and symbols which were created by ancient artists who probably considered these pictures and stories to be "set in stone" for all time. Gazing at the ancient symbols and their careful placement on the rocks, I sensed how these ancient stories were reaching forward through time from many hundreds of years ago. A sense of timelessness descended on me, as I savored the experience of being still and listening to the rustling sounds of leaves of small bushes caressed by gentle canyon breezes. This, I realize, is the key to handling constant change: taking time to stop the hyperactive whirlwind of mental, physical, and emotional activity in our lives long enough to allow a sense of feeling relaxed, energized, and at peace. I looked up, and saw a cloud shaped in the form of a great turtle, and smiled inwardly that the shape of the cloud so matched the images of animals painted on the cliff I was resting on. The idea came to me that some signs are etched in stone, and others are more fleeting... like cloud images, which will not last the day. All of these signs, whether fleeting or permanent, can provide us with guidance when we still our active minds and listen deeply.

When I am able to free up my schedule to the point that I can follow whimsy, an amazing thing happens. Instead of going through habitual motions in robotic fashion, racing from one task or appointment to the next, I can quiet my mind... sense an inner spark of creative intent... and ease myself into reading the signs of energetic currents all around me. I then ask myself the question, "What is the best possible thing for me to be doing right now?" and look for signs that will give me precisely the best possible nudge. When I ask, "How can I see and feel how every day in every way my life is getting better and better?" I am able to discover exactly that, finding answers all around.


Wishing you may discover just how good your life can get,
