crimsoncurrentAN OLD MAN IS ATTEMPTING, WITH A DEGREE OF SUCCESS UNSUSPECTED BY HIM, TO REVEAL THE MYSTERIES TO A MOTLEY GROUP
Commentary:
The ‘Old Man’ is someone who understands many things. He is ‘Attempting to Reveal the Mysteries to a Group’ that don’t seem to understand, or at least they aren’t readily showing that they do. This is ‘A Motley Group’, which means it is made up of people who may be different from each other in appearance, background, interests, etc. However, he is succeeding in teaching them as he’s accomplishing a ‘Degree of Success Unsuspected by Him’. It is likely that the ‘Old Man’, or the teacher, is the one who misunderstands what’s going on with the ‘Group’, or his students. He may see the superficial differences in the ‘Group’ as a barrier to their ability to understand his message. It is more likely that they are actually quite focused, but each in their own distinct or unique way. By imparting his knowledge, ‘The Mysteries’, the ‘Old Man’ has unified the ‘Motley Group’.
Oracle:
It may seem that nobody is paying attention to the advice or wisdom that is being offered, but it is not the wisdom that is at fault. There may certainly be a need to alter the way information is delivered to make it more easily understood, however it is also important not to underestimate the capacity of the listeners to comprehend the messages that are being imparted. Take confidence in the knowledge being given, or received, and have less expectation of how people should behave, respond or look. Remember that “conventional wisdom” does not always overcome the human emotional issues of confidence and self esteem. Be confident that the message is valuable enough to hold the attention of those participating.
Keywords:
The need to try a new approach. Challenging the status quo. Astrodrama. Being way ahead of one’s time. Getting one’s message across in an innovative and creative way. A teacher uniting diverse people in a common cause. Generation gaps. Wisdom given with expectation. Ideas bringing people together.
The Caution:
Exaggerated opinion of one’s understanding of the situation. The mistaken belief that others need to know something. Not being in touch with the “times”. Feeling outdated. Preaching old, possibly outworn ideas. Insecure feelings based on conservative expectations of others.Boris-JUP
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
Henry Brooks Adams
Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.
William Butler Yeats
The more abstract the truth you want to teach, the more thoroughly you must seduce the senses to accept it.
