Oracle for May 2015 – Layers of Illusion

by Darity Wesley

Layers of Illusion – The energies and directions for the month of May are taking us to yet another level in this year of moving through or transcending the illusion. It comes with an exploration this month of the concept that what we are dealing with are like layers of an onion.

The matrix, maya, the illusion, whether it is the collective human illusion, or our very own illusion, is layers, built up over our lifetime and based on our entire belief structure. This is reflected back to us by the illusion, and this month we are challenged to peel a bit more away; and so, do read on….

As a reminder of what we are talking about, maya is a Sanskrit word which is commonly translated as ‘illusion.’ It is defined in The Free Dictionary as the transitory, manifold appearance of the sensible world, which obscures the undifferentiated spiritual reality from which it originates. Now that is a mouthful, but I think we can get it as anyone who has awakened from the dream even a little is prepared to grasp the intended meaning of the word. –And if you are reading this Oracle, it means you.

Remember, as we travel this spiritually enlightening path of transcending the illusion this year, there is always that subtle distinction between the word maya and the word illusion, and that is what we are referring to.

To recap our journey so far this year into exploring the illusion, or maybe the existence of maya if we had not thought of it before, we called forth the Willpower to open our eyes. We take a look to see if, indeed, there is the possibility that this is all just an illusion, the Matrix, if you will. And then, are we caught up in it?

Our next step, in February, was to focus our Attention. Can we realize some experience of the illusion? Can we get a feel for what the Oracle is talking about? This may be new to many of you, yet it is so important to know. These are the steps that will bring a greater expansion of our very own spiritual consciousness as we move to understand what this brings to us.
