Hello All
Happy Friday
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You’ll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away . . .
Humanity has worshiped the sun and moon since our beginnings. We have warmed ourselves, sunbathed to distraction and often been changed from feeling sad to feeling happy simply by the rays of sunshine around us. We have gazed at, howled below and dreamt our dreams in the soft glow of the evening moon.
Here comes the sun . . . and warm summer days.
The sun symbol is found in all cultures throughout history. Considered by most peoples as a cosmic power, it’s not surprising we see the sun emblazoned upon countless artifacts and writings.
Ancient Chinese culture recognized the sun as the Great Male Principle – the ultimate Yang. These symbolically appreciative people also personified the sun as a cosmic eye viewing out upon its dominion during the day.
The sun resonates with male energy in most cultures. However, Celtic perspective places feminine power within the sun’s rays. Likewise, ancient African, Japanese, Germanic, and some Native American tribes all hold the sun as a feminine energy.
Alchemically, the sun is sol and is esoterically symbolic of the mind or intellect. Gold is considered the material of the sun in outwardly symbolic practices of alchemy.
According to the teachings of many of the Native American tribes in central North America, Grandfather Sun, the “one who brings morning”, gives light and warmth to his children every day. The first of all the mothers, Grandmother Moon, lives in the heavens near her daughter, Mother Earth. From there, Grandmother Moon keeps watch over her children, gently leading them through the night. Mother Earth nourishes and cares for all her children in the plant, animal, and human worlds; and just as life comes from Mother Earth, it returns to her, completing the circle of life. Together, Mother Earth and Grandfather Sun provide the gift of life to all.
Worshiped widely throughout Egypt for centuries, Ra was the principal sun god. Ra, also know as Re, was the almost universally-worshiped king of the gods and father of all creation. A sun god, he was said to command the chariot that rode across the sky during the day. As a king, he was the patron of the pharaohs. He was considered the only god, apart from Osiris who is definitely said to be not of the earth. Ra, it was said, was an aging god, still powerful, but too old to deal with his children any longer, so he went exclusively to the sky to watch over the world.
In Christianity the sun is the house of Archangel Michael, and is also a symbol of the Christ, and is used to represent Christ-like attributes.
We see the sun symbolism in association with eyes or vision as the sun is the eye of Zeus in Greek mythology. Likewise, in Hindu mythology the sun is the eye of Varuna, and is also considered the “divine rejuvenator.”
Animals can also be considered as sun symbols. For example, the eagle was a symbol of the sun rising in its glory and power over their cities. The tiger in some cultures is thought to symbolize the sun in its setting aspect.
It is Godsign to me that we have the term ‘Son’ that sounds exactly like ‘Sun’. Our sons and daughters on earth are very precious to us indeed. I also do not believe or feel that it is mere ‘coincidence’ that millions call Jesus The Son of Man. He is also referred to as the Son of God. His teachings and life lived are praised, worshiped and studied as one of the most influential and Sacred of master teachers, Wayshowers and Divine Prophets. He shined and still shines a sacred Light, as do all the master teachers of the Sacred.
Whether you worship our Sun, Grandfather Sun, the Egyptian god Ra or give worship and praise to Christ the Son please know they all can bring you great joy, profound warmth, contemplative pleasure and if you add in enough sunscreen, help you keep a healthy body and smiling Spirit.
Happy Birthday dear Aunt Helen!!! And many more oxoxo
Here Comes the Sun
by The Beatles
Here comes the sun (doo doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
It’s all right
Songwriters: George Harrison
