Hawks and doves

[3D Sunset]

ever since i started studying the law of one, i've made a point of looking for, and invariably seeing, hawks slowly circling in the sky whenever i'm outside. recognizing this as the totem of ra, i always get a warm feeling throughout my body as i watch them gracefully patrolling.

we noticed one hawk in particular that's been nesting in our back yard for about three years. interestingly, this summer, we've also noticed a huge influx of doves, probably 10-15 of them, living the back yard as well.

i was just wondering if other people have had similar experiences lately with symbolic animals.

living in the vast metropolis that is la, i always love it when nature still finds a way...

i too have noticed more hawks in the last couple of years in the area where my son & i work. i love to see them riding the air currents, it gives me such a feeling of peace, serenity and freedom all at the same time.

i had forgotten that the hawk was ra's totem - very interesting.

i've had auspicious experiences with people who resemble hawks - related to their brow and nose features...and i wondered if these people appreciated hawks as one of their totems.

about a week ago i began reading 'seth speaks'. a few days ago i was reading the chapter about symbolism and realized that i need to start paying attention to symbolism in my dreaming and waking states. as i sat thinking about this i remembered something that happened the day before.

there is a big spider living under the eave of my shed. he has a huge intricate web that comes off the eave and is anchored all the way down on the ground. anyways, every time i see the spider i automatically get goose bumps as i have always had a primal fear of them. they facinate me though and lately every time i walk by the shed i grab a stick and vibrate his web just to see him scurry out of his hiding spot, thinking his web has snared a meal. well, yesterday i found a big fat beetle crawling on the ground and had the impulse to catch it and put it on the web. the spider came out and quickly started wrapping it up while at the same time biting it which produced ample amounts of venom, some of which dropped to the ground. he has been feeding on the beetle off and on every since.

i have interpretted this event as a symbol of me feeding my fears. this really is an issue in my life and the timing could not have been more perfect. magical really!

one other thing about the hawk mentioned above: this morning i went outside and the clear blue sky was filled with activity. i counted and there were four hawks being harassed by 9 crows. it was an amazing spectacle. the crows were squawking like crazy and being very aggressive against the hawks. eventually, the hawks retreated in one direction and all the crows in the other. not quite sure what to make of that.

the most common animal symbolism i see is butterflys, this i intepret as a symbol of change or rebirth or just simply a positive sign for me. i have seen other animal symbols that have been used to literally tell me im going in the wrong direction, i saw a small coopers hawk being chased by a bigger one one day, i also saw a dog chase a fox right when i was trying to make a phone call.
i saw lots of cockroaches in my parents basement for a few weeks and as soon as i began to set my boundaries better they disapeared completely in one day. i never killed any of them

[moderator: the hawks and doves thread seems to fit better in general discussions and will be moved there]

one of the great sentances that the questioner offers:
it goes something like, "...i would certainly appreciate the return of the golden hawk..."

i've noticed a lot of hawks and doves in my area as well. more than usual for me in the midwest, usually when i walk to work there's a dove sitting on the electric wire outside of my house, and i often see hawks gliding in the sky circling above, i stop in my tracks just in awe of its beauty.

yes soup, that's perhaps my favorite interraction of the series (and interestingly the last comment made by don directly to ra at the very end of session 106). i particularly like the part of ra's response to which i've added emphasis below. this is indeed what comes to my mind each time i see a hawk.

law of one, book v fragment 56 to session 106

questioner: i would just ask if there is anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or to help her and to improve the contact, and what would be the soonest that ra would recommend the next contact? i would certainly appreciate the return of the golden hawk. it gave me great comfort.

ra: i am ra. you have complete freedom to schedule workings. we suggest the nature of all manifestation to be illusory and functional only in so far as he entity turns from shape and shadow to the one. i am ra. we leave you, my friends, in the love and in the glorious light of the one infinite creator. go forth, then, rejoicing in the power and in the peace of the one infinite creator. adonai.

i read this thread a while ago, but didn't have anything to add. yesterday i went out to hit the grocery store, and outside nearly directly above my apartment were two to three dozen hawks circling. they were black or really dark with red heads. i'm no bird expert so they could possibly not have been hawks at all, but they soared as i remember other raptors, and had that shape. when i came back from the store they were gone. that morning i had received an email from a friend in russia, at 2:22am, that said just what i needed to hear, and i had been in general prayer (i used to call it intersecion as a christian) all that morning.
anyways...it only leads me to my favorite ra line,
