Awakening the Promethean Spirit

<.......I want to know more about the Promethians. This clicked another trigger with me as I have just begun a series of gourds with the twelve feats of Heracles. I identify greatly with his determination. Point me in the direction of where you found your relationship with Prometheus. Feeling like I'm off on the greatest adventure of my life! :-)

Hi GypsyWitch;

It appears that your focus on Heracles is the Universe's way to direct you towards the Promethean Spirit. After all, it was Hercules who unlocked the chained Prometheus.

It is great that we share our dialog. This way others who have these same questions arise from within them, get to read it. This is new to me as well; I would never have asked myself the question, "where I found my relationship with Prometheus."

To me personally it is not "the Promethians" or "Prometheus"; it is "The Promethean Spirit", the essence of Prometheus, so to speak. I perceive it as a group consciousness, not as a personality, but more as a stream, a stream that can bring forth endless sparks or facets for me to relate to. The earliest recognition of the Promethean Spirit I had when I was about 9 or 10 years old. It was in the German Democratic Republic where I grew up, after World War II. Whenever there were political or holiday town parades, in which we school children had to participate in our Young-Pioneers uniforms, I felt a force joining me and pouring into my heart a tremendous Love for Humanity. It was totally overwhelming and I always immediately burst into tears. Of course I had no way of verbalizing to anybody what was going on, I just tried hard to suppress the tears and hide the foreign feelings that were flowing through my body. It always happened when I participated in events and situations of Good Will, whenever people came together to express the best of being human beings.

These experiences were such a contrast for me as the shy girl, still in deep slumber, and trying hard to fit in. As time went by, I met with the Promethean Spirit in many places. In the mid sixties, when the first few people in my hometown got a television set, their living rooms filled up with neighbors to watch events like the Tour de France on tiny screens in black and white. I myself could never relate to any sports, but I could always feel the force of the Promethean Spirit present there.

In school one of my favorite poems was "Prometheus" by Johann Wolfgang Goethe. Later, when I got interested in classical music, the force wa there in concert halls and drama theaters. I found that within the realm of music the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven carried and conveyed the Promethean Spirit like no one else, in his music and in his physical embodiment. In the Ode to Joy he sums it all up: "Seid umschlungen, Millionen! - Diesen Kuss der ganzen Welt!" - "You are embraced, you millions! This Kiss for the whole World!"

I always love to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. As I said, not for the sports, but to attune to the renewal of the Promethean Spirit that is happening there so magnificently.

You, GypsyWitch, may experience the Promethean Spirit in a totally different way. One of your guides could come forward as a historical figure that carries that energy, or in whatever other way; it will be an 'individual thing' for each person.

So much for right now. Let's continue....

May your awakening be smooth and joyful!
