That cloud looks like an infinite awareness having a mystical experience on planet earth.

The problem is, the human brain has an extraordinary ability to find patterns in everything. It can cross-reference all manner of possibilities to find a relationship between the most obscure of situations.

The brain also works well with logic, so when it thinks it has found a relationship, it equates it to discovering a truth, the owner of the brain naturally takes the relationship as reality. The process of scanning for relationships and then accepting them as a truth, can be a matter of moments for the brain.

When you look at a cloudy sky, you can see all sorts of imagined pictures, especially images that are related to your current situation. These can be easily seen as omens by the ever-obliging, ever-justifying brain.

Omens from whom? From a god sitting in the sky? From your higher self? Why doesn’t it just tell you the message instead of confusing you with symbols and mystical innuendos? Or are the omens from some other secret source that is too subtle for anybody but you to understand?

Why the great mystery surrounding these higher messages? If they are really from some form of higher intelligence, doesn’t it speak English? The use of obscure omens seems a dumb way to impart a special message.

Can’t this source just whisper in your ear or perhaps give a you a good old-fashioned clear vision in a dream? And what’s wrong with emailing? If the hidden power that gives us these wonderful messages is so great and intelligent, surely it can find a clever way to send an email?

Omens? They are all in your head, created from a brain that is always busy finding relationships, meanings and purposes amidst all of the daily jumble that surrounds you. Stare long enough into the dark and your brain will soon start to create images and omens for you.

You are probably some sort of awareness in some sort of infinite existence, the number of possibilities at any moment is infinite. The number of relationships that your brain can find is endless and the number of signs, omens and secret messages all depends on your imagination and willingness to believe in it.
