Oracle In The Wind: Awe Of God

Awe Of God

Jewish tradition teaches man how small he is and how great he can become. Do not be frightened of God. Stand in awe of Him. Fear weakens the spirit. Awe strengthens it. Fear is demoralizing. Awe is uplifting.

Awe of God is the acknowledgment of the distance between man and his creator, which only lifts man to greater heights. In no way does it minimize the human desire to achieve truth. On the contrary, awe of God or Heaven evokes the feeling of dignity in man as he sees himself part of the greater scheme of creation.

The Hummingbird

Guardian of the North that makes the seemingly impossible migration from Canada all the way to Brazil, help me on my epic mythic journey where Spirit calls. Although I don't know where it will take me or exactly how I will get there, help me to learn how to follow my soul's guidance to the flowers with the sweetest nectar to sustain me on my way. Help me to step outside of linear time and into sacred time in the infinite to heal my past and chart my destiny. Help me to assume the role of author of my own story and to burn all the limiting roles so that I can be fully available when Spirit calls.

The Eagle

Guardian of the East that spreads his wings and soars high above the world, help me to forget the minute details of my life and my old identifications so I can allow myself to see everything from a greater perspective. Help me to come to know that everything that appears to be outside of me in life is really inside of me. Help me to learn how to own my projections so that I can come into a proper relationship with them and create the world of my dreams. Help me to learn how to identify and close the "back doors" in my life, which siphon my vital life force and prevents me from making my dreams reality.

The Shedding Snake

Guardian of the South that transforms itself in growth, help me to shed the stories that bind me to my painful past and prevent me from stepping into a bright future. Help me to come into a proper relationship with who I have been, who I am, and who I am becoming. Help me to create the world I desire. Help me to visualize luminous bands of protection in my energy field which will allow me to be more present and available for life, instead of wasting my energy trying to hide in fear from a terrifying world. Help me to follow, trust, and effectively use my intuition as a valuable tool in navigating through the world.

The Jaguar

Guardian of the West that has no predator in the jungle, help me to learn to have no enemies in this world or beyond. Help me to leave behind the traditional archetype of the violent warrior and step into the way of the luminous warrior, who speaks only truth, and calls truth. Help me to break free from the grip of fear. Help me to explore inherited ancestral and karmic patterns that propel me toward my destiny. Help me to come into right relation with these patterns and to honor the gifts of my ancestors, so that I can set them free and empower myself to create the world of my dreams.
