The Journey

Filed under: musing — rabbit @ 9:35 am

My runes are speaking again with a very consistent message. Three times in the past week, two days in a row, I have placed the rune back in the bag, stirred them around, and drawn out; Raido - Communication, Union, Reunion. Journeying in consciousness, an evolution of your spirit.

“This Rune is concerned with communication, with the attunement of something that has two sides, two elements, and with the ultimate reunion that comes as the end of the journey, when what is above and what is below are united and of one mind. The journey is the soul’s journey. Moreover, the approach of that which is above and that which is below is realized from inmost sentiment rather than through the force of circumstances. A simple prayer for the soul’s journey is:

I will to will Thy will.

Such a prayer of intention is proper on almost any occasion, and is particularly suitable as a preamble to healing. Raido is another of the Runes in the Cycle of Self-Transformation.

Inner worth mounts here, and at such a time we must remember that we are not intended to rely entirely on our own power, but to ask what constitutes right action. Ask through prayer, through addressing your own knowing, your body knowing, the Witness Self, the Teacher Within. Once you are clear, you can neutralize your refusal to let right action flow through you. Not intent on movement, be content to wait, keep on removing resistance. As the obstructions give way, all remorse arising from “trying to make it happen” dissapears.

As always, the journey is toward self-healing, self-change and union. You are concerned here with nothing less than unobstructed, perfect union. But the union of Heaven and Earth cannot be forced. Keep within your limits, Regulate any excesses in your life. Material advantages must not weigh heavily on this journey of the self toward the Self.

Trust your own process - that is the essence of this Rune. Keep on cutting away illusions. Stand apart even from like-minded others; the notion of strength in numbers does not apply at this time, for this part of the journey can not be shared. Innermost feeling, spontaneously expressed is what is called for now. Raido urges you to undertake your journey, your quest - and if you already have begun, to continue.”

~ Ralph Blum, Book of Runes

And so I continue…already fording.
