Thesis: Humans are incomplete without the higher powers that intervene; punish us when we’ve sinned, reward us when we’ve done right, and help us when in a dilemma. We need their help in order to escape from our world and experience a higher level of consciousness.
Greek literature is big on the concept of higher powers- mainly gods and goddesses. ...
In the Odyssey, Odysseus starts his journey with a big oversight. ... ”(Page 92-94) Although Poseidon was harsh and cruel to Odysseus, and you wouldn’t think of this as a higher power intervening, I think this is the biggest and most powerful intervention of the entire Odyssey. ... His voyage would have been pointless, and he wouldn’t have encountered all the other forms of higher power. ...
Throughout the Odyssey, there were many other signs of higher powers intervening. At the very beginning of the Odyssey, Odysseus is stranded on Calypso’s Island. ...
An example of how higher powers helped him see past reality was when him and his crew stopped by an island where a witch by the name of Circe lived. ... On his last day there however, the higher powers once again interfered, this time, in the form of a dream. ...
Higher powers intervene in everyone’s life, not only mythological characters and heroes. ... The most common form of a higher power is a dream. ... You see it in movies all the time, and those are the higher powers helping us through difficult times.
