From
time to time, owls are just mere birds that fly around during the
night and give off the hooting sound. Now, who on earth would believe
that the owl can also be a person's spiritual guide? Well, who knows?
Most of the
time owls are simply symbolized as death or wisdom. From
my previous claims, I
said that owls are not
simply symbolized as death, but rather personalized as death. At some
point, I never thought that the owl may also act as your guide
towards a beginning. Even though it is just a mere bird, still it
contains several mysteries to why is it associated with death and
why is it given to more emphasis towards wisdom.
I found this article
entitled “TheOwl As Your Spiritual Guide” by Peter Boxall from
ezinearticles. From the title itself I thought that it is somehow
associated to religion, but NO it is not. Simply by looking to its
content, the article says that owls may help us see through our
darkness and guides us towards a new beginning. Well, from here more
cultural profiles were mentioned towards the bird; simply describing
it as “the messenger and companions of the gods.”
Another would be that
the bird is categorized as a “guide.” it means that the are the
ones who will lead us to the right path of our life, or simply from
the article's term “The True Path”. At some point, I have
discussed something about the owls an archetype for a person's
rationality. True! That the article has supported my claim that the
bird itself is represented as the human person's rationality; well,
the meaning of “guide” in the article means that “we ourselves
should be choosing the right crossroad for our future. It may be good
or bad still death is at the edge and at the same time behind us.
Thus, that goes the same for opening our eyes towards the reality;
like an owl who can simply see light in the midst of darkness. From
that it is simply meant that the owl is interconnected towards human
rationality.
“Owls are one of
the few birds that can move their heads 135 degrees and some can turn
their heads even further, so that they can look back at the 'Deaths'
in our journey to this 'New Dawn' guided by the owl.with each
'Death' and 'Rebirth' we should both remember and rejoice in the way
each 'Cycle' has helped us become the person today.”
From
that paragraph in the article, it best supports that owls are truly
identified as death and at the same time a person's rationality. Why
death? Simply because that they are the ones who guided us in our
journey towards crossroads;which is somehow applicable to a person's
rationality. Thus, the new claim right now would be that “The owl
is an archetype of a human being's rationality towards his or her
death.” It does not simply mean that owls are guides towards our
crossroads, but simply we are the ones who choose the right path for
our future. Who on earth would accept that the bird will be the one
who is going to choose your destiny? No one right? Well, that simply
entails when we open our eyes towards the truth itself. I do not
simply mean the spiritual truth, but the literal truth which is
against stupidity. Thus, that would sum up a person's rational
personality.
I
did further research about sybolisms or representations in terms of
psychology I found this article entitled “The Concept ofRepresentation in Psychology” by Alberto Greco from cogprints. The
article best supports that the representation of owls as guides in
our crossroads is simply a manipulation and that goes the same to
their cultural profiles around the world.
Well,
in my own perspective when a person represent an object it seems like
he or she intends to make someone believe him or her. Thus, that is
subjective to manipulation; wherein the meaning of a certain object
is definitely different rather
than the given meaning. Well, that goes the same with cultural
beliefs towards the owl, since they are the ones who are claiming
that the bird is associated to death. Thus that gives an impression
that the belief itself is simply just a manipulation; simply because
in the olden times people believe what they actually see. They do not
simply do further research about their claims. Well, representations
about the owl may come from their cultural fears towards plagues and
death associated events. Simply, from the people's beliefs it
conducts representations that is somehow vague in their perspective;
since they only view it from their own interpretation of a certain
object. Form the way a person believes it simply denotes that he or
she is somehow stating what is true or just merely manipulating the
mass.
To
conclude, owls are somehow right now inclined to death, but it is now
an archetype of a person's rationality towards death. At some point
viewing it as wisdom is still not applicable. Well, from time to time
most of these cultures build their own cultural profiles towards the
owl, but that ends up manipulating their succeeding generations and
makes them closed towards rationality in death. Just by sealing away
the truth, that simply denotes that a person is still irrational in
such a way is also ignorant towards the knowledge to death.
