The study of the four seasons is an illuminating spiritual experience because it reveals knowledge that can be used in all aspects of ones life. I started studying the seasons almost seven years ago and it has made a profound improvement in my intuition and prophecy. I have been able to predict the outcome of problems and situations that normally would have left me anxiety driven and frustrated. The flow of the four seasons can be applied to any situation including the current candidacy for the democratic nomination.
Spring brings birth and newness of things. Though filled with life and new energy there is certain vulnerability about this season. Seedlings are vulnerable to harsh weather such as frost or too much rain which can beat it down and there is also the vulnerability to birds and other animals who feed on small seedlings.
When Obama first came on the scene he was like this little seedling, kind of weak, vulnerable when compared to the more experienced candidates. In our own life as infants we had to be taken care of, fed, bathed, clothed and tended to because we were not capable of doing this for ourselves. The latest fashions come with a newness and vulnerable to being rejected instantly. Problems in our life often enter in a small way seemingly not detrimental or a priority at the time. Spring is like the gentle wind.
Summer is when things reach their peak, the height of things and the ultimate climax. During this season we bask in the sun and enjoy ourselves. The seedling grows into a beautiful summer flower or delicious vegetable giving off fragrant flowers, vivid colors and lush green leaves.
Obama experienced his season of summer with a succession of wins in several states primaries and the media danced merrily around him as if he was the sun himself. In our own life we grow from a vulnerable infant and childhood into adulthood and experience love, sex and all the wonderful things that makes being grown-up so good. That latest new fashion is accepted and is no longer vulnerable to being rejected but is now the latest craze everyone is buying it and talking about it. Unfortunately, the problem that came into our life like a gentle wind is now a hot blistering sun and it feels like we are about to get burned by it. Summer is like the high burning hot noon day sun.
Fall brings us back down to earth and is the season of contemplation and soberness. The little flower dries up and turns weedy looking, losing its color.
Obama is presently in a state of fall in which the media no longer dances around him; he has become like the moon, unpredictable and illusive. Fall can be seen in the continuing aging of man as we move from adulthood into our senior years and we contemplate our lives the years we have left. That hot fashion that was the latest craze is scrutinized and the kinks are being pointed out it’s not as hot as it use to be. The problem that threatened to burn us is studied and contemplated for solutions. Fall is like the earth upon which we must fall if we slip.
Winter brings dormancy and the death of things. The flower is now a clump of dead leaves and dormant bulbs sleeping silently in the ground until the next spring arrives in which it will spring to life again and complete the cycle of the seasons again.
Obama will reach a low point and it will look as if his campaign is about to die but there is always hope that his campaign can go back through the seasons and experience a rebirth and a renewed summer of success. Sadly, man moves to the last stage of his existence as he makes that step from an senior citizen to death but all is not lost he will reborn to repeat the seasons of his life in new form, some say as a mortal and others say as an immortal. The hot fashion has fizzled out and no one is buying it but it too has hope, somewhere down the road several years later a new generation will bring it back just as they did the bell bottom pants. That problem that we studied and contemplated for solution has been solved and is now dead but we have to be careful because problems have a way of coming back to haunt us in the future. Winter is water that can either bring life or take it.
You can take the secrets of the seasons that I have share with you and apply to any part of your life such as relationships. If your in the middle of a heated love affair with someone whom you can't seem to get enough of just remember that soon the decaying leaves of fall will come down on you and bring a reality check. The relationship will move from hot to cool and will experience a form of death but it doesn't mean that the relationship cannot go back through the seasons and love reborn.
In your career if you are just starting out or still in a budding form don't give up because soon your summer of success will be on it's way. No one knows how long it will last but one thing is for sure enjoy it while you can before the sobering season of fall enters.
Always remember that a season in spirituality can last for any time period, it can be 60 seconds or years, it's not the same as our calendar seasons. Learn to identify the season of a thing and you can predict it's flow and outcome.
The four seasons are more than just equinoxes and solstices they are sacred cycles that flow and touch everything in creation and cosmos. Learning to identify the seasons and being able to move with their flow will bring great understanding and success in your life. Nature is more than just birds and plants it includes many unseen phenomena that have tremendous impact upon our lives.
