Sharing Spirituality
|
Oracle of Love
Hexagram 45
|
|
A social gathering has spiritual significance.
That everything in the universe is connected to everything else is the Oracle's paradigm for spirituality. The
universal spirit
is sentient and feels its connections but does not control or restrict them. The spiritual presence
in the world is a mindful but unobtrusive connection of everything.
Some of our social gatherings are more significant for the universal spirit than others. These gatherings enjoy an enhanced spiritual presence and offer opportunities to enrich the spiritual feeling, while we can share our deeper
feelings of Love
with each other more easily.
The gathering may be of a large group of people, a few friends or with an intimate partner. It may take the form of a simple enjoyment of nature and togetherness, a sharing of ideas or experiences, or a glorious expression of theatrical splendour.
The spiritual presence at the gathering will be experienced differently by each participant. For most it will be an imperceptible backdrop to their activity but some may become aware of it and even recognize others being aware of it.
Ceremony and ritual may supplement a social gathering or guide one's attention to spirituality but cannot compel a gathering to have spiritual significance.
