The phrase "cloud scrying" refers to Nephelomancy, an ancient form of divination involving gazing into cloud formations to interpret shapes, patterns, and symbols. Cloud Scrying - also form of Pareidolia - involves watching cloud formations and interpreting what you see in terms of objects in physical reality.
Most of us watch cloud images at one time or another. It is as if we are guided to look up and watch the patterns unfold at a given moment.
Formations can start as stationary images - then become animated - as they float by speaking to us as if messages.
Fluffy cumulous clouds bring messages, which sometimes seem to tell an unfolding story.
While flying on an airplane, it is fun to watch from above as if celestial messages portrayed in clouds.
Throughout history symbols of political or religious importance have been seen in the clouds. In A.D. 312 when Emperor Constantine was marching against the army of Maxentius at Rome, both he and his entire army saw a shining cross of light amid the clouds. It was said the cross contained the Greek words "By This Conquer". Later that night Christ appeared to Constantine in his dreams bearing a cross in his hand ordering Constantine to have a military standard made in the same image. Under this standard his outnumbered army was victorious. Down through history entire military battles have been witnessed in the clouds.
Like many people, I enjoy watching clouds drift across the sky, forming shapes that seem to connect with my consciousness - almost as if they are speaking to me.
There have been moments when I've asked a question in my mind - only to see what felt like an answer quickly appear within shifting cloud formations.
On several occasions - while teaching a workshop - my students and I have looked up at the sky and I've asked the clouds to manifest a specific message - or answer to a question for us - after which the answer manifested.
I've also described to my students the image I wanted the clouds to manifest ... and voila there it is a minute later.
Whether coincidence, intuition, synchronicity - or something that allows me to know my place in the creation of the universe - or the simulation of reality - it's part of who I am.

This looked like a scene from a movie where the sky opens up,
rays of light stream down, and a UFO or God-figure descends.
From my perspective below, this formation reminded
me of looking up at the bottom of a UFO.
