According to Merriam Webster's etymology of the word dating to 1606, it means: Latin inauguratus, past participle of inaugurare, literally, to practice augury, from in- + augurare to augur; from the rites connected with augury.  Augury means "divination from auspices or omens" dating from the 14th century.  And Omen means nothing more than "an occurrence or phenomenon believed to portend a future event".


Simply put, the inauguration is the occurrence of the event leading up to the "future state" of a new individual being president (I guess technically the inauguration ends after President Obama takes the oath of office). But it is interesting that the roots of the term have to do with "portents", "divination" and "omens" of future events, and interesting that the very word we use in modern society to usher in the Highest Office of the Land, has strong connections and connotations to practices of the occult and alchemy.

In fact, there are those who feel the usage of such words (by those who know the full potential of the power and meaning of words) is beyond being just interesting but entirely intended and appropriate for the purposes to which they aspire or act towards.

The question that comes to mind is "What ARE those intended actions (EVENTS)?"

President Obama rallied a demoralized nation that collectively felt as if hope for a better future was fast slipping through their fingers.  At the same time, the prior established polarization of those who react in fear continued such that the sales of guns, in an economic time of consumers cutting back, actually increased after Mr. Obama won the election.  (Sales apparently fueled by those who fear our civil liberties will be further eroded; that the buying of semi-assault weapons and handguns will be restricted or eliminated.  Note: I am not taking a position here, only noting that the polarization fueled over the past many years, continues.)

Our "One Nation under God" has long been led by leaders that do indeed have a very specific intention and design for how they will rule and govern.  As it turns out (with the more accurate vision of 20/20 hindsight), such intentions have not always corresponded to what you and I, as ordinary benign citizens, would have interpreted as supporting "the best and highest goodwill of all involved".

Again, I am not waxing political here, nor taking sides.  Or more accurately, I am taking YOUR and MY side.  There are many individuals who actively became engaged in the process of this election for the specific purpose of supporting the energies of HOPE and CHANGE.  I would go on to say that the change desired was a change for " the better" versus what they had experienced under the prior President Bush's governing.  It stands to reason that they were voting for the "better something".

I leave it up to you (just as President Obama and his team did) to interpret for yourself the exact definition of those words and what actions they will lead (create/manifest) into being.  These words I write are intended to get you to really think about, define and then "occultly and alchemically" advance the manifestation of the intention and purpose of your words into reality.  Because if you leave it as a blank, then you allow the knowledge of how all this really works to others who already know.  Create your own omen my friends, continue to be a co-creator of your destiny.

For myself, do you know the title of the 1984 Tina Turner hit song, "What's Love Got To Do With It?" 

Just like the augury of President Obama looks toward the future, this line from the past is also of great "portent" in that it holds the answer to the HOPE and CHANGE I personally seek.  For me, no collective of humanity, as defined as a united group of individual states, or a united group of individual countries, or a united group of individuals, can exist without holding some common central truths to be self evident.   Are there multiple truths?  Yes, but some are more universal than others. 

Is LOVE a central truth of yours?  If it is, I would ask you to begin (or continue, if you have already begun), to co-create that LOVE by actively (and daily - this is very important at this time in our collective destiny -  to do so daily, everyday) by praying, meditating or just actively imagining a life conducted IN and OF LOVE- where there is a drastic increase in the POWER of that LOVE in your life and in the lives of all others.  (By the way, just "hoping" it will happen is not the same as placing your intent and actions into making it happen...)

President Obama did not define what he meant by "change" specifically, because to do so would limit the power of the words to just what he said, to his vision only.  Take a cue from him, and do not place judgements and "should, could, woulds" onto how you define that LOVE.  Allow it to be pure, from your heart to the collective heart of humanity in unity "for the highest good and most loving outcome of all".  Putting it out there to the universe that you give love to your ex, your boss, or your political leaders, and including the energy of "that they wake up and understand what I am saying" has more to do with manifesting your own good rather than the good of all involved.  And isn't adding that personal energy kind of what we can see has gotten us deep in our current economic and political situations? 

Instead, try something new...release your attachment to the outcome as an exact prescription.

Use your personal energy to CREATE THE ENERGY OF CHANGE, in LOVE, not in personal prescriptions for what love should be, but in personal UNITY (that is that you are declaring you desire to bring in, to create, a world where LOVE of your fellow man DOES matter, where you believe "how can more love be a bad thing?", where you support and place your individuated spark of the Divine in collective unity for the highest good of all.  There is a difference and you can make it.

The "omens" of our future are not at all secured.  Adding your personal, individual sovereignty to this common vision is indeed a great collective power. 

Try this: As a way to declare your commitment to make this a truth for you (and as a reality for many), add your first name and comment in the link below to show you join together with all of us who declare the same.  (Doing so solidifies your intention to have your personal declaration join up with the personal declaration of another person and collectively to unite them together as ONE energy.)

" I Declare My Intention to Bring the Power of Love into My Life and the Lives of ALL others for the Highest Good of ALL. " (And remember to reaffirm this TRUTH everyday - in your conscious individual sovereign power.)

P.S.: Okay, so Mike what's THIS have to do with "business" you say?  I believe I mentioned in one of my other posts: there is no longer anything as "hey, it's just business, nothing personal"... your personal intentions ARE what will create the energetic spin that effects (and affects) everything in your life in the new earth energy, especially how you "do" business!
