Rainbows

Are fabulous. Love seeing them. One time I even saw one where it met the ground. It was in a field. Oh, I so wanted to break down that fence and just go stand in that energy. I wonder what it would be like. I can imagine that it would be warm and fuzzy – bliss.

I have always loved rainbows. When I see it as a symbol during readings or while teaching class, I believe it to mean wishes fulfilled, good things to come, good times ahead.  

What comes to your mind?

According to the Net, one definition says that a rainbow is a ‘sign of hope, the beauty after the storm, a pot of gold and good fortune at the rainbow’s end.’ Perhaps, I should’ve made a bigger effort to reach that spot in the field.

Noah’s flood, which has been said to be a year-long, worldwide flood, took place about 4,500 years ago. In Genesis, God said to Noah: ‘I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.’
 
The rainbow has since evolved.
 
Although no one ever claimed ownership of the rainbow, the chakra system moved in that direction. Chakras came about in India between 1500 and 500 BC in the text called the Vedas. In 1927, the seven rainbow colors were added by C. W. Leadbeater. In the 1930s six colors plus white were proposed.
 
The LGBT ‘s rainbow flag came about as a symbol of the gay community by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978. The different colors are often associated with ‘diversity’ in the gay community (but have literal meanings), according to the net.

The rainbow is symbolic in so many ways. Regardless of what it means to you, I hope that you now think of it in all the ways mentioned here and more. Be open. I think we can all agree that the rainbow is about hope, joy, beginnings, happiness. . .

Truly, if you are not agreeable, consider coexisting and more importantly Freedom of Speech.
