In my case, I first encountered both symbols through my twin, and ever since then they keep showing up for me constantly.
With the peacock symbolism, it started a few months ago when my twin posted a photograph of a peacock feather. A few months later, some weeks ago, he commented on something I was wearing in a video and used the word peacock.
After that, I started being completely flooded with peacock symbolism. For example, a few days later a Facebook memory from several years ago popped up, showing me standing in front of a pattern that looks like a peacock fan. Even in the likes, there was a woman whose last name was Peacock. Then I kept seeing peacock feather patterns on random fabrics in a market, or in random images shown to me on social media, and just yesterday I even saw a video of a raccoon riding on a peacock.
It’s similar with pine cones. I had chosen to record an old Donovan song that includes the line:
“I cut me a young pine cone and I gave it to the river deep, it sailed away by your window, where you lay so long in sleep…”
That made me curious about what pine cones actually symbolize, and I found out that they’re associated with the pineal gland. Then I realized that my twin had already drawn pine cone a few years ago, as a logo. Since then, almost every song I’ve randomly chosen seems to include the word “pine” somewhere.
I didn’t have any particularly strong emotions during all of this, I just noticed that these symbols keep appearing on their own, again and again, almost effortlessly, especially right now… and sometimes I do think: universe seems to be hilarious, how it delivers synchronicities at times.
And, yes, maybe we won’t reach union in this incarnation, that’s absolutely possible. But I’ve only recently come to the realization (or the knowing) that, at least for me (I don’t know how it will be for my twin), there won’t be any further incarnations on this earth. I feel like I’m really done with the human experience…that’s trusting my intuition and what I do wish for.
