The Great White Owl symbolizes the incredible guiding intelligence behind life. The Honey Bees are the Great White Owl's loyal servants.
They symbolize the active forces and myriad influences and coincidences that guide us through life. Some bees buzz around us to attract our attention. Some lay trails of honey, sweetly encouraging us to follow. Some carry messages. Some sting us painfully, and by so doing test us and force us to react. Some bees will lead us astray, some will guide us truly.
Its all about making good choices aided by intuition.
The guiding influences of life the bees represent encourage us towards action and movement, and thereby life changes and spiritual growth.
They intelligently guide us along life's highways and byways. They teach us and test us, and in so doing they encourage us (sometimes they even force us) to move and evolve towards our ultimate purpose and destination in life. The point to Robert's teachings on Bee Following is that everyone has an optimal life path.
But finding this, what could be called one's destiny, is not always easy. We get sidetracked down one-way streets and dead ends and many of us get lost or trapped in unhappy life situations along the way. Bee following involves creating your own reality. But sometimes we don't know what we want, or even how to get from A to B.
This is where inner guidance and spontaneous opportunity comes into play. We must have faith that there is a greater intelligence inside of us, and that this is intimately connected to the great intelligence that is behind all life.
Bee following involves getting these two great forces to work together - to get your own inner spiritual intelligence to work in synch with the powerful guiding forces of life. The secret to Bee Following is to have faith that life has a plan for each of us, and then take action based upon this faith.
If allowed, the guiding forces of life will create the means for you to discover your optimal life path. The journey, however, may not be easy. It can be an exciting trip, but it can also be painful.
Spiritual lessons often involve overcoming great difficulty.
To work with the greater life process that you are a part of, you must open yourself up to and tune into the spiritual guiding forces of life. For most of us this takes a huge mind flip. But it can be done.
Learn how to tune your intuition into the greater reality and follow your heart and conscience. Logic and reason and experience must be listened to at times, yes, but one must also look for 'signs' and 'coincidences'. These can indicate that bees are at work.
When bees are at work around you, spontaneous opportunities for new experiences will always appear. Where these will lead you is not always clear, but once you start moving this 'movement' allows the forces of life to guide you.
It is impossible to steer or guide a rock that is stuck in hard earth. But prise it out and roll it down a slope and it can then be guided. Sometimes multiple choices are given when bees appear and the end result of some choices may not be clear at the time.
It is here that one's intuition comes into play. What most people do is to make choices based solely on logic and experience. This is common sense and common sense will help keep you safe and protect you from making mistakes.
But this can also hold you back from taking risks and opening yourself up to new experiences. What you do depends on what you want out of life. Do you want predictable safety and security, or do you want to dig yourself out of a rut and then roll down wild slopes with the hope of finding exciting life changes and spiritual growth along the way?
Life is all about taking risks and having new experiences. Its all about digging yourself out of holes and rolling down hillsides. The young thrive on taking risks and embracing spontaneous challanges and experiences. We all know that the young can take this a bit too far. But there is some natural merit to the wildness of youth.
As we grow older, logic and reason and common sense begin to inhibit us more and more. We want to be safe and have a stable life. But how much do we sacrifice for this stability? This is where we can begin to lose touch with the guiding forces of life.
The guiding forces of life, the bees, continually approach us. They come at us from all angles, often when least expected. Finding a good bee and following it, just for fun, can be an amazing adventure if you keep on rolling.
What do you really want out of life? Do you want to live your days safely and securely and then, at the end of your days, gently enter the next reality virtually intact.
Or do you want to roll into the next reality all tattered, bleeding and bruised, saying 'Wow... what a trip!'
The meaning and purpose of life is to 'experience' all that life has to offer you. For it is only through real life experience in the physical dimension that we can evolve as spiritual beings.
Life is not about suffering, although sometimes suffering is required. Life is about experiencing 'everything' that life has to offer.
You may not think life is offering you much at the moment, but if you follow a few bees, anything could happen next. Enjoy the journey of life, as this is way more important than the destination.
Live the journey and, at the end of your days, you will pass into the next reality bursting with the fruits of life experience.
