moon cycles vi. ?? The runes by classic definition are an
ancient divination device. The ancient Northern European tribes used them not
only to determine the future but also to aid and assist themselves
in everyday life. What we know about the runes is that the Romans after the
Nordics refused to tell or share the knowledge of what their language meant
called it Runa meaning secret or hidden meaning the runes themselves are a
combination of divination and language. But they do it in a way very
different than classic tarot or astrology. The runes at their heart are a
symbolic divination device used by individual tribes stretching from
Greenland to the steppes of Russia. Different versions have even been found
in the desert to the southwest. They work on a very simple symbol concept of
action, balance, reaction. As in the symbols themselves
are symbolic in nature. As in they are literally a concept or picture of the
way the Nordics say nature. The first 8 symbols are entirely based on how
individuals can gather together and form some sort of community. Humans are
not that solitary in their existence. Some individuals are happy and content
with themselves but the majority want and need to
flock together. So the first symbol is Fehu, priorities. Now this has a
variety of different meanings but basically it is the concept of how we can
all live, work, function, and survive together. So
there needs to be some form of multilevel priorities understanding and in
order to trust your companions. Second is Uruz. Strength. Strength. is what an individual will use to accomplish what they
want or need. It holds the same meaning for a group of people. How can we
pool our resources together to build what we want to build? What we want to
build was established in the priorities section. Next Thurasaz. This is an
individual going within themselves to determine what they want and what they
are willing to do for themselves to get it. How much of their wants and needs
do they have now and what are taking into account for some level of time from
understanding. What do they want in the future? Taking all these wants into
account and also going by the priorities of those that are around what is the
self-willing to do for more that are around. [I want this, this person has
it, what do I have that they need? The next symbol is Ansuz. Ansuz is looking
at the world with new eyes. Taking into your personal world changes are the
time and the person you were at any given time in the past is not how you are
now. So a constant and continuous form of not only changing your mind but
also changing what you want. Especially if a portion of your wants, needs and
desires are fulfilled you need to see things around you are constants with
new eyes. Reorganizing the way, you see things. What you are willing to do as
well as what you are wanting. The next is Raido. This symbol is about the
journey. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. To enact
all that you have learned and done in your life it is vitally important to
take your own steps in your life to go out, step forward to accomplish the
goals you set for yourself in Fehu. What are your priorities in life? How are
you going to get them done? If you do not go forward get out for yourself and accomplish. The next symbol is Kannaz. Kannaz
means wisdom. The wisdom of truth. In everything you need to sit back relax
and really think about all the lessons you have learned about this life you
are living. Since after this life we are living is not the only one we have
but learning new things is exactly the reason we are here in the first place.
These first six lessons are extremely and vitally important. Since after all
the actual name of the language is Futhark. Six symbols, six elements. The
next symbol is Gebo. Gebo teaches about the finer qualities of the people you
are around there are basic accuanturesyou do not know them very well nor do
they know you. So now after you are confident about the things you have been
learning up to this point meet and get to know each and every one of them so
that you can have an idea of how they are as well and you can get to know
them. What is their Futhark and teach them your
Futhark. Meeting and getting to know all the people you are around is absolutely vital to continue associating and building a
community, any kind of community. The next symbol is Wunjo. Wunjo is about
learning to separate the people you know into first likes and dislikes. Then
to more complex issues of who this person is and do
we need to communicate together about wants and needs? This is all about
making friends, influencing and seeing if your inner priorities match those
around you and who you can live with or around. These first 8 symbols are the
basic guide lines for building a successful community. The community is a
concept developed around a group with similar goals/priorities living close
together in communication together helping out who needs help and working to
build a better life for the individual as well as the people around you. You
happen to have not only similar interests and priorities but also genuinely
like being in their company and them being in yours. The next group of 8
symbols is all about the individual learning all about themselves. Haggalaz.
Before one can proceed in one’s life you must remember where you came from.
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Doing a review of the
events of the past is good. It keeps it fresh in the mind. Keeping what
happened in the past fresh is good to learn from. Do not dwell there just
learn the lessons you missed. Also having a fresh perspective on an old thing
is good. Having damage in the past is good to remember it from a new
perspective so you do not hold a grudge against who
or what hurt you. Remember everything in life is a lesson to be learned. So
we can become better for it. Nauthiez. These lessons are about paying
attention to what is happening in your life. All of your attention needs to
be focused almost totally on what is happening in your life right here and
now. Since there are incredible things happening right here and now in your
life pay attention there are opportunities happening
which may not happen again. Isa. Means glacier. Over time the glaciers path
is very clear. It will come and go on its own internal clock and future plan.
You need to be able to move yourself forward over the long haul knowing your
wants, needs and desires. It is also vital to remember that in addition to
everything out of its way in order to accomplish its given task. A plan of
what needs to happen next. Building a model for your life seeing where your
needs can get accomplished. A plan for getting and receiving what an
individual want for their life. Jera. Cycles of life. Learning that a
tomorrow must come. Life and death. Cycles continue. For life to continue
something has to die and be fed upon in order to sustain life. When you set
forward to get something accomplished in life there always has to be a
sacrifice to have gain. Jera teaches to move forward where the individual can
accomplish the set upon goals of one’s life. When learning about the cycles
of nature some of the most important things to remember is
the action balance creation concept. In nature there is always a time to do
something. It is up to each and every individual separately to determine in
each individual separate part of their lives to determine what is the most
advantageous for each part of your life to be doing at that specific
juncture. Is a forward action needed? A balanced neutral position,
or an inertly creative action needed and at what point are these things
needed. This is the lesson of the cycles of nature and life. [up to this point in one’s life they have only done action
reaction and balance here is where the concepts of a new way of doing
something is introduced.] Eiwaz. Creation. Yew tree. The yew tree is where every
life grows from. Up to this point in life. Doing this has been a relatively
simple matter either it did not work or it worked from sheer luck and
allowing mother nature to do the building. Well now it’s time for you the
individual to learn how to build for yourself. During this time and lesson
you need to gather up everything you have learned up to this day in your
life. All the lessons of the previous 12, as well as all the experiences you
have had up to this point, and you will need to
carry yourself forward to learn just how to begin and how the internal
creative process works in your life. First step in this highly different
stage of your life is to design exactly based on exactly what you want to do
with yourself. After you have this idea which may be just a much more complex
version of the image you had and wanted for yourself when you first began
this sequence in the first place. How to go about it is after establishing the what you want. The next thing to do is from what you
have learned about yourself up to this point and consulting close friends for
their input into the subject the thing you need to do beyond anything else is
to start learning what you need to do to your entire being to bring about the
changes in your life you are trying to achieve. Once you have done this you
need to make major strides in opening up yourself to reach within yourself to
determine what exactly you want to learn about to be able to create that
which you need to have. What are you willing to do in exchange for information?
Who do you know that may know how to show you or teach you about what it is
you are trying to create in your life. Plus, are you
willing to listen and learn from that person or thing in order to learn how
to create or earn or build in your life that which you have determined is
what you want. The next step is actually doing the learning process. Allowing
yourself to be put under someone else’s idea of the
way life should, would or needs to be. In order to learn from them. Then
actually do the learning. Accept the lesson you have asked for. A key note
here. Memorize just about everything you are taught in some way shape or form
in life everything you learn at this point is directly connected to what you
inwardly asked to learn during this point. Becoming a pseudo master of
everything you are taught will help you establish the basics of your life. If
you learn the basics and master them the rest of your life’s journey will be
just that much easier. You will have mastered the basics of a new skill. This
will carry you through until it’s time to not only continue getting better at
that thing you wanted to do or create it will teach you how to if you want
something else different or learn the same thing in a different way. You will
know how to learn and create for yourself anew. Pertho. The application of
what you have just learned at a given point you will have learned a great
deal about all kinds of stuff about the skill or creation you wanted to build
but what is creation if there is nothing to be done with it. Here is how and
where to apply yourself to the world this new creation you have for yourself.
In your world there will be opportunities that will come out of all but now
there which will allow you to apply your new found knowledge of the world.
First you create then you apply the creation. To not only learn more about it
but to help those around you that have helped you. Having something new to
offer the community yourself and your surroundings which will benefit
everyone. Everyone includes the self. Everything you do comes back three
times. Alhaz. Paying attention to your surroundings. Once you have had an
opportunity or two come your way you need to learn how to truly see the
external world. The external world is a very big and scary place but it will
help you to establish how to look at everything but yourself. Sort of Ansuz
but instead of new eyes. Look at it from its point of view. What is the world
that is not doing? What are its actions and reactions? Watch people around
you see what they are doing. See how they are doing it. See what they need
and how they go about getting their needs accomplished and satisfied. You can
learn a lot about your community by simply observing as to who
they are what they have learned and how they go about their daily lives.
Learn what is important to them. Why is it to each and every individual what
it is. Why do they need their own it? Plus, how do
the individuals and as a group go about getting there it. Sowillo.
Understanding. Now that you have learned a great deal about yourself and more
importantly others your next task in life is to not only review the last
things you learned about yours and what you need and how to build yourself
into something but you learned there is an external world that knows little
about you as well as cares little about making sure you get your needs met
and your IT. You need to stretch yourself out reaching out to others around
you from there you externalizing what you know how to do and see if they are
interested in sharing there IT with your IT. In whatever fashion you both
choose is the best. From this exchange you individually need to learn how
best to apply yourself to the world and determine what you are
best at. What part of what you have learned about yourself in the past
15 steps have you decided you really did not like and what form did you
decide was actually a very good thing which you liked and enjoyed
tremendously. Interaction with others around you will help you determine
parts that are good about yourself and parts that need work. All of us starts
with 2 legs need to learn something about ourselves to improve upon our basic
character as well as helping us the individual to learn more about our inner
self which will allow everyone to get just one step closer to us all being better
individuals, community and eventually society. The lessons we have just
learned about in the previous 8 are all about the individual. After the first
guide to creating a society is a society is a group of individuals working
together for a common purpose. But the individual cannot continue anything
substantial to a society at all unless the individual knows themselves. For
the individual to know themselves they must have a clear understanding of
where they came from. Where they are, where they are going, a good deal about
what they want, need an ability to create that want and need in their life
with a strong emphasis on the others around them and what their own personal
mark on the world around them reacts from them the individual as well as what
the world and community does not want need or desire. Putting this all
together with an understanding of the self. Who you are where you will be
going as well as who you need to interact with in order to accomplish the
goals you have set yourself. The last 8 symbols in the sequence deal with
learning how to combine the previous 2 sections to build a workable society.
Where a group of individuals get together to build something better than my
own individual or community could alone. Tiwaz action. After one has learned
how to do one must learn how to let go of the little things in life and allow
life to move as fast as it can to bring about maximum change and opportunity.
There are times when the preparation is to go within and be quiet with one’s self. This is not one of them learn how to operate
one’s self full speed. All owning all the actions and reactions and momentum
in one’s life to truly take hold and bring about very quickly everything ones
hoped for moved about constantly. One learned about as well as spent time
concentrating on the smallest picture of life. Now is time to see how the
proper amount of internal work can transform one’s external life in the blink
of an eye. Birkano. After rather intense movement happens in one’s life there
is a need to apply in a big and large way the lessons of quick and precise
movement. As a great deal of external action in your life is happening one of
the most profound and most important things to realize is that there can a
great deal happening to you and still be quiet and comfortable within
yourself about observing all that is happening to you and still be able to be
within yourself learning and growing and becoming a better individual.
Personal growth at all times is the key. Ewaz. This is where life starts to
move and happen for the individual very fast. Instead of trying to do any
directing or personal application at this juncture the most important thing
to do is realize the importance of sitting back and enjoying the ride. Seeing
how the ride and the show of the world works. Think
of yourself riding on a horse. Instead concentrate on making sure the horse
is walking or moving or that the horse knows where it’s going. Sit back in
the saddle and enjoy the ride. Watch the scenery go
by. Enjoy the imagery of the dance of life. Mannaz. The self. Who are you
really? Where are you going, what do you want to do with yourself? Mannaz is
a very strange lesson. It deals with the actual application of everything you
learned about in the middle 8 from 9-16. This lesson is all about integrating
into yourself everything you learned about from 9-16. There were many complex
things going on then and there is little time during to bring them all
together into one concept with your own individual understanding of life. Now
is the time. Sit back with yourself and take a really good look at who you
truly are right here and now. The reason for doing that is to not only
integrate everything you learned but to truly get a proper perspective on the
whole subject of who you are and where you will be going next. Are the many
very complex stuff you have learned about during the time is highly important
since after all those eight lessons are the center point to you truly knowing
yourself. Here is the opportunity you need in order to move forward with
yourself and truly build your wildest dream. You learned how to identify.
You, learned how to go within yourself and start the inner creation process
and you learned how to apply your talents, your skills, and your
understanding of life to the world your community, yourself and now it’s time
to bring everything together to learn how to apply everything you have
learned about yourself and become a valued member of a society. [how you find the society in which you need to be in
depends on how much you learned to pay attention to everything that was not
you. Laguz. The flow of the universe. Here we learn the value of seeing the
big picture. The big picture is the concept of being able to sense and see
there is a greater whole to everything in life. There actually is a non-diets
rested plainer plan. Chat Conversation End Type a message... |
