A cycle is ending, purging, and making way for new human awareness
A COLUMN By Frederick Sinclair
Ancient Egypt and Greece conjured the mythical Phoenix, immortalizing the cyclical nature of existence, and strength born through adversity; forged by fire. A symbol of rebirth, the Phoenix is a beautiful and strikingly colorful bird, believed to live in cycles of 500 years. Its song, announcing the day, was reported to be so beautiful, that even the rising sun would pause, mesmerized by its music. At cycles end the Phoenix constructs a magnificent nest of fragrant flowers, plants and carefully arranged boughs where it will lay in waiting, as the sun ignites the pyre, in reverence. From the ashes a miraculously reborn Phoenix then arises and takes flight into a new 500 year life cycle. The association with fire depicts both a destructive and purifying force. The phoenix is such a powerful symbol that both the eagle and the phoenix historically appeared together as alternatives in the design suggested by the Third Great Seal committee. The eagle was the ultimate choice; however, it showed how deep the symbolism of the phoenix was to our founding fathers.
Modern man, as a whole, has lost its brilliance and morning song, metaphorically indicating a cycle ending and heralding a transformation that will dismantle the old and clear the way for the phoenix of mankind’s awareness to rise up from the ashes. The pyre is assembled from the sweet allures of extreme wealth, abundance, high technology, and ignorance, on top of centuries of righteous sacrifice, dreams of freedom, courage, faith, belief and knowledge. The earth is currently being bombarded and saturated by solar coronal explosions, including clouds of highly ionized particles, powerful solar winds. plasma streams and X flares. The pyre is being ignited by the Sun and the myth fulfilled. Humanity is rising up from the ashes of ignorance with new awareness of our connection to the sun, the earth, creation and each other. A cycle is ending, purging, and making way for new human awareness, intelligence and reestablished divine connection to arise.
The earth is also undergoing a transformation. Cosmic synchronicity is occurring as monitored volcanic and seismic activity parallels sunspot activity. The impact of solar storms is affecting geomagnetic fields, the atmosphere, geology and vibrational resonance of our planet. Our awakening to how the sun, earth, planetary alignments, visiting comets, space and all beings are intimately connected is raising our consciousness and revealing our divine connection with all of creation. We are not isolated; nor alone in the vastness. The solar and earth changes and release from the old, that no longer serves mankind, may come to be uncomfortable. However, as burning embers drift away on solar winds; the Phoenix of mankind is rising up from the ashes and taking flight into a new era.
