A few days ago I had an experience that I can't find anywhere else to share it. It must be regular stuff for you, but it means more than I expected for me...
As it goes, I'm performing the Sphere of Protection almost daily. And some meditation on occult themes, almost daily except on weekends. However, I'm lacking behind in divination: it exhausts me. Since I'm doing everything I can to keep my practices secret, my divination consists on interpreting dreams whenever I can remember them reasonably well, and scrying, then meditating on the images, and that's taxing for me. Last Thursday I was scrying on the outcome for a soon to happen travel. We are going to the village of my grandparents and there's family there, with some drama I will spare you. Just say t's always akward to visit. But we buried my father last year, and we wil be staying in an appartment this time, so things may be different this time.
In my scrying I asked: How it will come these holidays? And I got three images: A carnival mask (the same that decorates my aunt house), an hybiscus and a big dragonfly. Meditating on it, I matched the hybiscus with my mother and the dragonfly with my father. My mother gave me an hybiscus long ago and I'm trying to give her back some seedlings from it. The hybiscus is also called the pacific rose. The dragonfly comes from one of the happiest memories I have with my father, when he took me to the river being a child. My parents divorced when I was a child, and it was not a friendly divorce. But the symbols also mean "peace". I've come to realise that the scrying is multifaceted, so many of the second meanings are there 'in addition to'. So far, so good. That's a good insight forecasting a peaceful travel, and after my father's death, probably there will be less drama.
However, right the next day, in a pot plant just in the front door of the office where I work, I saw for the first time in more than twenty years, a big orange dragonfly. The exact same dragonfly I saw in the scrying. It was seeking shelter from the heat and was very still on the plant. So still that it was very easy to see. I took pics and send them to friends, who were also happy for seeing such a big bug. Ok, the dragonfly is real, the pics and the messages are still there to prove it happened in Friday. Then I checked the diary: The scrying page was written on Thursday, as I remembered, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't making it up.
Isn't this a marvel? I am sure I would have remembered if I had seen this dragonfly before the scrying. As I said, it's more than twenty years since I saw one outside of a zoo. I dream of one and then next day here it is! Good thing is that I didn't freak out. But it gave me some to think about, seriously.
I later meditated on the experience itself. It seems to me that by scrying I was telling the universe that dragonflies are attached to the memory of my father and in response it sent one real dragonfly, maybe it's a shade of my father's spirit who sent it, or the bug just felt the pull from the image I created in the astral and came to fill it. Or both.
An alternative explanation is that the future can actually be seen in advance, but this contradicts how I think forecasting works. I think we input the images of known facts and speculations, consider how they might evolve without the conscious mind prejudices, and get a stream of posible scenarios. I find it easier to accept that a living being is attracted to an astral form than to accept that reaction precedes cause.
I am just grateful for being able to speak my mind on this topic, and I would gladly read your thoughts, if you may.
