This evening I saw a Black swan flying so fast high above me in the sky. As I had spent some hours discussing with a friend, the tribulations of the difficulties in what we experience and how they are probably the patterns showing us How we are programmed to experience life, I thought this must be some kind of message.
The swan is linked to the Northern cross

The Northern Cross is an asterism, or noticeable pattern of stars. It’s within a true constellation – Cygnus the Swan. The Northern Cross and Swan pattern are within a larger asterism, consisting of three bright stars, called the Summer Triangle. Image via Bob Mohler.

Faith and Humility
The constellation Cygnus (the latin word for swan) is made of the same stars as the Northern Cross. It is an interesting synchronicity that the cross, long a symbol of spiritual suffering and undying faith, is paired with the swan.
To endure suffering and imperfection with a fierce faith in the One Who Moves Through All Things turns wretchedness into a gift. Swan symbolism is about learning at the core of your being your ultimate radiance and perfection. There will likely be trials along the way to remind you of the grace and virtue of maintaining a humble soul. For even pride in your perfection renders it imperfect.
If you are currently courting swan spirit animal ask yourself the following questions:
- How do I view my own imperfection? and my own perfection?
- What suffering has come to me to teach me about keeping my faith and releasing my faults?
- How do I appreciate the virtue of loyalty? Who or what am I loyal to?
- How can the swan guide me on the path to enlightenment?
Article by Ralph Miller
I recently had a conversation with a close friend about the way current world events seem to be setting the stage for something really interesting to happen. Something really big! We talked about how the world is going to change in some fundamental way; you know things will change but you can’t put your finger on it to describe what the change would be. You just feel it.
I have felt for a long time now that a great transformation will happen and the form it will take will be something we never anticipated. This article will really be a continuation of some of the perspectives I began discussing in the two articles entitled, The 2012 Problem and 2012 Revisited. Those articles deal with the notion that from the perspective of the Mayans, the year 2012 will herald the ‘end of time’ or at least the end of the Mayan calendar. My belief is that a new human consciousness will go beyond traditional notions of temporal reality. Traditional notions of ‘time’ will no longer be relevant in the same way.
My friend mentioned the theory of the Black Swan and suggested that it was quite similar to the concept of ‘profound change’ that I was describing. Black Swan theory was put forth by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Taleb is a mathematician, writer and scholar in the field of randomness. The theory was described in his 2007 book entitled, The Black Swan. The idea is simply that the collective view was that all swans were white. Since swans were only white, the concept of a black swan was a metaphor. It is reference to anything that is utterly improbable. It refers to events or things which are not predictable but at the same time feel inevitable.
The impossibility of a black swan in Western culture was due to the simple fact that nobody had ever seen anything but white swans. The existence of a black swan would require the world to accommodate its existence; a world where there are both white and black swans. The 17th Century discovery of black swans in Australia transformed the meaning of the concept. What was thought of as utterly impossible actually did come to pass.
The black swan is the harbinger of ‘things’ and/or events that will have monumental ‘culture changing’ potential! It’s the answer to the notion that ‘something’s got to give’. Or, ‘that something big is bound to happen.’

What Is the Meaning of a Black Swan?
A "black swan" is a very surprising and unexpected event that often has profound benefit or consequences. This term serves as a metaphor based on the surprising discovery of black swans in Australia. Black swan is used in finance to describe an unexpected occurrence leading to drastic gains or losses.
