Understanding the Omens in Life Robert Svoboda, BAMS November 12 – 14, 2010 An omen is a message from Reality, written in the Book of Nature, a dispatch composed in the language of events like the flights of birds, incidents occurring during travel, the streaking of meteors through the skies, and other such synchronies. We who are literate tend to believe that all knowledge worthy of the name can be consigned to print, when in reality the deepest, most meaningful truths are those that cannot be put into human language. Though information is freely delivered today to all who can read, veritable knowledge has become harder than ever to procure. Even India’s classical vidyas emphasize what can be conveyed in words, when what is most real, and most important, in life can only be verbalized indirectly. Join us this weekend as we explore nimittajnana, the knowledge of omens, and exercise our intuitive sight to read and heed the signs that mark our paths through life. Please Note: Dr. Svoboda will be embarking upon a three-year-long sabbatical from public appearances beginning Mahasivaratri 2011 (March 3). As such this will be the last time that he will be lecturing in New Mexico in the near future.
