Introduction
I don’t know much about salmon, besides its flesh being an unusual
red colour and which when poached tastes delicious, is that when it is time for
the salmon to spawn they swim upstream taking great risks and consuming great
amounts of energy to find a quiet space of still water to spawn and later die.
Return to their Origin
The salmon return to their birth place to spawn and later to
die, they in effect close a cycle, they return to their original point of
departure.
They show us how birth, life, death and new life are all
connected. They show us also that in being able to close the cycle sacrifice
and effort is needed.
A Lesson from the Salmon
We are like salmon we leave the absolute and we enter into creation
and to return we need to swim upstream using our sexual forces.
On a smaller scale, to die or return the trapped essence it
to its original unconditioned state, we after having fed it in life, need to
make great sacrifices to go against its conditioning (swim upstream) until the
trapped essence is free and then with the death of the conditioning new life in
us can be experienced.
Conclusion
Nature or creation hold before our eyes such marvellous
esoteric lessons.
