I saw a black bird tormented by menacing spirit, carelessly diving and pecking at everyone it saw. It was a unique bird, there was no other like it, and it meant to harm as many that came within its realm. Taking it with my left hand, it tried to free itself any way possible, constantly pecking its razor-sharp beak upon my hand, but I would not release it. “Quick, put it in a cage,” someone suddenly said, but I searched long and arduously for one and found none. I looked for bags, boxes, envelops, furniture drawers, anything that could possibly contain this feisty bird, but it was futile.
Suddenly, a tiny bird came off from this bird and it meant to also hurt others, so I grabbed it with my right hand. But in seconds, it grew to full size and it too pecked painfully at my hand. Still, I found nowhere to cage both birds and tired of holding on to them. Immediately, both birds calmed down the moment I realized I didn’t have to secure them unto myself for it is not licit to deprive others of a lesson’s menace. Short and long term, I was not doing myself or anyone else a favor.
I thought about this dream all morning until I realized its meaning. The first bird was my past and the negative inclinations of this world, the second are my future lives, my grip on them is my consciousness struggling with “savior ego.” The bird’s menacing spirit will regenerate into my future and those I try to protect as long as I continue to “hoard,” hide it from myself, or deprive it from others for there is no hiding from frequency association until it is “recognized,” “admitted,” and “worked out.” No one can run from their problems for birds are not outside but in each of us, and thus will follow wherever we go—energy seeks its own kind, and level.
Possessing another soul to “protect” is more than sufficient evil unto itself. Don’t assume someone else’s birds for these seek someone to enslave and will bind unto you, they are contagious! Each soul must confront and overcome their own birds, learn to be strong, and decline their negative pecks. Let not fear be reason to hide, justify, or clarify actions, for we protect not the real us but the one we’re firmly grabbing (encasing) with our soul, the past, and should release for good. Don’t hold on to or protect birds, don’t “cage” them, let them roam to their ends but be not a part of what they do. If someone else is troubled by birds, remember: bird attacks are “survivable,” reincarnation is proof of that. Just remind stressed people about, “The Black Bird” 🙂

Peace and Love, Roberto,
What a beautiful dream! I have been reflecting on it, and I’m ready to share “what is in it for me!” Of course, the most radiant message was that the unresolved past creates blocks in the consciousness–does not allow objectification and discharge of negations. Then I remembered the large vulture-type, black bird I’ve been seeing since the first quarter of 2000, perched in a dead tree in a near-dark, barren land. The only understanding I had of him, and others, was that “they create blocks,” and once visible, the block is released.
Since then black birds have appeared often. In two of my short stories they prevent the Light from shining into the lower nature of suffering individuals. In IF I LET GO, they can be seen flying over the head of Salia Kasna (in a dream) as she walks home down a peaceful road to prepare the evening meal for her family. In NO PLACE TO DREAM, a large black bird carries a death warrant that their leader, Roon, claims Rook demands. Shem walks in darkness, and there Kane walks with him, made visible by a Band of Light that surrounds him. Kane is shielding him from the Saffro(the black birds); Shem can’t see them.
I was reminded that I will be able to see my involvement in ancient civilizations–something I had questions about, if you recall. Your dream also speaks volumes on personal responsibility.
I’m seeing veils of darkness shifting (like massive sheets of paper) being lifted for removal, and other Birds are singing, “Bye, Bye, Black Bird.” I love this!
Thank you, Roberto
More Light,
Na’imah
How could I forget this? Roon pecked Shem, hard, on his right hand as he walked beside him. Later he vomited on the same hand, like a vulture, to make it fit for consumption.
Just days after I responded to The Black Bird, I knew that I would be returning here because I continued to see them flying and drifting, aware that their presence had, or would have, significant meaning for me. So today, because of an ongoing disruption(by a family member)in my personal life, I finally settled down and got the answers that I needed. Wondering what the black birds symbolized for me personally, I took a walk down memory lane and re-viewed those I’d experienced in my dreams and visions for the past 16 years. With the assistance of the Brothers, I saw them darkly–as representations of intrusions, challenges, barriers, discomfort, and realized for some that they could even be imperiling. This brought to mind, a friend’s recent unwitting account of a black bird in his life, living in his home, and more of these birds in other people’s lives, as well as the many that have passed through my own.

“Don’t assume someone else’s birds….”
“Each soul must confront and overcome their own birds…”
“Don’t hold on to or protect birds…roam to their ends, but be not a part of what they do.”
I realized that in the past, I’d done these things without the knowledge I now have. But, now I’m going to watch this black bird fly to his destination, though not his preconceived one, and he will never disturb me in this way again. This I see from within the Light.
I’m grateful for the Spark in The Black Bird; it fanned the Flame in me. Thank you, Roberto, for sharing this. Love and Light to you and the Brothers.
