The event
Time: During the day
Date: 31 October 2023
Place: The Südautobahn between Wiener Neustadt and Baden
I was 67 years old. I was driving on the A2 autobahn north toward Baden. It had been raining earlier. Around km 40,0 (we use the decimal comma here) a rainbow’s end appeared at the front of my car, seemingly touching the car. Then it moved away to a couple of metres in front of my car, then it moved to the other side of the autobahn, then it moved back to the front of my car.
I was driving quite fast and the rainbow’s end moved with me of course, because it’s a light phenomenon that I’m seeing, not a tangible object.
After a little while, the entire rainbow disappeared.
The takeaway
I read on the Internet that it’s not possible to see the end of a rainbow. Let me tell you — it is.
Background
Some days earlier when walking up the Heugraben at Alpl, I searched for a solution to an attitude problem that I had, and I found one — affirmations.1 I started using this solution daily. It worked very well.
Thoughts and theories
By using the affirmation I gained a small piece of spiritual wealth, and that gain prompted me to see the rainbow’s end — itself a spiritual moment, so I theorize.
Was there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Yes, there was. It’s spiritual wealth.
Many people have gained spiritual wealth like me, in small increments, so finding yourself at the end of the rainbow should be an experience that many have had. Yet readers might say, “I’ve made spiritual gains on some occasions, but I’ve never seen the end of the rainbow.” — But remember, I met the Lesser Guardian when young, and such a meeting gives a person more rights and more responsibilities, according to Rudolf Steiner. Maybe that’s why I received this right — to see the end of the rainbow and to find that pot of gold. I say “maybe”.
Furthermore, it was Halloween. Could that be significant? Hmmm, I don’t know.
There were other cars around me, on my side of the autobahn, driving in my direction. Could the other drivers see the end of the rainbow? I was alone in the car. If I would’ve had a companion, would we both have seen the end of the rainbow?
Can it happen more than once? Yes. Years ago I saw the end of the rainbow for the first time. I didn’t record it back then and to begin with could write nothing here. But since first writing this, I’ve made an effort to remember the event and have finally succeeded: I was driving past a field, and the rainbow’s end was in the field. It was ahead of me but off to one side, not directly in front of me.
Can we see the rainbow’s end if we’re on foot? Yes, I suppose we could be walking and see it. We can’t walk into it, of course, because it moves with us.
