Luke 21:27 Meaning Then They Will See the Son
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
What does Luke 21:27 mean?
The higher self appears within a person as the mist of the lower mind begins to part. The Son of man is the awakened consciousness born inside the human being, and it comes in a cloud, the veil of unclearness and unknowing that still surrounds it, so its arrival is first seen through the thinning fog of the ordinary mind.

The higher self appears within a person as the mist of the lower mind begins to part. The Son of man is the awakened consciousness born inside the human being, and it comes in a cloud, the veil of unclearness and unknowing that still surrounds it, so its arrival is first seen through the thinning fog of the ordinary mind. Power and glory are the felt force and radiance of that presence when it dawns, not a figure in the outer sky but the inner light rising into view as the obscuring vapor lifts.
Within a person this is the moment the divine nature, long hidden behind the cloud of a dim and busy mind, becomes visible in its own strength and brightness.
Son of man: the awakened divine consciousness born within the human being Cloud: the veil of unclearness and unknowing in the mind through which the higher self is first seen

Live Luke 21:27 today
- Sit today with no screen and no task and let your thoughts thin out for ten minutes. Do not chase clarity. Let the fog settle on its own and see what is still there.
- The next time you feel a flash of real kindness toward someone, in a checkout line, on a call, with your kid at dinner, stay with it a second longer instead of moving on. That warmth is something in you showing through.
- When your mind is busiest today, mid-meeting, mid-commute, ask yourself quietly: who is watching all this noise? Do not answer. Just let the question sit.
What has been there in me the whole time, waiting for the mind to go quiet enough to be seen?

Zen
Clouds move across the sky and the sky is never touched. What you are looking for is behind the weather, not beyond it.
Sufism · Rumi
The light was always there, the dust in the air was yours. Clear a little of it and the brightness seems to arrive.
Hinduism · Upanishads
The real self is hidden under the noise of the mind like a face under ripples. When the water stills, nothing new appears, you simply see.
