Spirit Animal - Phoenix

On December 29th, I was out walking my dogs, when a shadow passed over us. I glanced up, and there was a very large bald headed eagle flying over us. I was thinking about what spirit animal to write about. I asked if it was Eagle. The answer was “No, think bigger!” Immediately, a vision of a very large Phoenix popped into my head. A writer named “Phoenix”, who writes on Elftown.com, had this to say about the bird. Picture from www.elftown.com “The Phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird. Said to live for 500 or 1461 years, the Phoenix is a bird with beautiful gold and red fiery plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the Phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young Phoenix arises. The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe (hence the expression rising Phoenix-like from ash or ruin), thus being almost immortal and invincible — a symbol of fire and divinity.” I asked then, what message Phoenix was bringing, and if it was for me, or for everyone. The answer seemed to include everyone. Here is Phoenix’s message. This is a time of great cleansing, the way that the cinnamon fire cleanses and renews me. The material things that weigh you down need to be cleansed either in energy or physically removed from your nest. Negative feelings and energies are now to be released. This means shaking your heads from all of the thought/mind control that is pushed at you each day. Radio and TV contain many experiments that affect people (even the very young) with a mind numbing inertia. This world is about moving and changing. Inertia is described as when a mass remains inactive. As you look around you, see all the people that are inactive, that is, are stuck in only one way of doing things. This is not a natural state. Every being moves. This is a time of looking at what is truly important to you. If your life and health are important, then cleanse your cupboards of harmful goods, and move forward into a new level of body health. If your free will is important to you, turn off the TV and radio and video games, and pick up books on different subjects. If your job is not to your liking, decide what it is that you want to do, and it will happen. This is a time of very fast response to what a person is thinking or wanting. Humans are calling it manifestation. It is however, more precisely described as revelation. What you have been thinking and feeling are now coming to the surface for all to see. This change is part of the necessary clearing (fire) to allow us all to begin joining together in mind contact. When all thoughts have been purified, then telepathy may be fully possible without need of hiding anything.
