In the FlamesThe intent I had with the horses here was a different one. But your contribution Michael drew my attention towards something that was underneath I guess, more in the ashes of it all. Appreciated...
So the vision attached to the intent I had was that these 10 horses could be adopted as forms. I have chosen one of the horses/ the phoenix-horse as it seems to match with the butterfly medicine focused on this thread and the general nature of it. So the other 9 horses were more of an unsaid expression of the other present contributors here to adopt one. Hence we would have 10 Warriors on horses all moving together into the day orientation or north totem. This being my own intent of course before the energy of that integrates or not to the collective group intent.
The horse is the symbol of Divine. The sacrifice of the Horse, is the symbolic representation of how the Divine sacrifices itself in manifestation (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad):
When a spiritual person performs the horse sacrifice, it means s/he reverses the process - sacrifices the body of the horse, the conditional manifestation, for pure divinity.
Ten is the number of a complete cycle.
The esoteric meaning of the ten horse sacrifice, the dashashwamedh, is the final consummation of a full cycle of incarnations. Burning with the fire from within in its ultimate sense of personal cosmic completion.
It is the highest sacrifice that can be performed. Are you ready Danyeldo?
In the ashesI hadn't heard any of that before. Thanks.
This all relates to a few years ago ( I mean in what I am describing). But I don't see it as what you describe as the final fire. The horse in my own symbolism is not the dawn or rising but is the risen, the daytime, carrying the spirit of the day on its back - lightning on a horse
There was a sacrifice that took place at the time that Venus eclipsed the sun, can even remember if it was 2004 or 2005. Around May time. But what occured in a death was the collapse of the day or orientation of the medicine wheel that is north. This as far as I know is not glabal but just the collapse of my own north total sphere being my own perception, energy and story of what the world is. North being one of 9 segments within that overalll sphere.
The butterfly is representing the choice of life after making the choice that made everything collapse.
But now I am in a different cycle, where the milky ocean and sky is being generated out of the south.
As the dream of fire was sacrificed, it became lightning. It was sacrificed for the sake of the rainbow.
My point is... if there was a horse sacrifice then it took place then, in May 2004 I think.
But to be honest, I feel nowhere near cosmic completion...
