The Black Horse represents a complete
reliance on our “human” intelligence. Consider how many worships at the altar
of intellect. To be fair, they don't see it as worship, but is there really a
whit of difference in commitment or passion between the minister preaching from
the pulpit or the self-assured professor, scientist or politician speaking with
fevered conviction, condemning anyone who disagrees with them? Consider the science
textbooks of just the last 40 years, regardless of discipline, that have had to
be rewritten due to new discoveries, old theories making way for new. History
is very illustrative on this point, for every generation believes they have all
the answers. To wit:
A few hundred years ago if you argued the Earth was not the center of the universe as Galileo did, you could be jailed, even put to death. In the late 1800’s most in the scientific community believed man would never fly, for if he were meant to fly, he would have wings, so the “forces” of flight by any means would “naturally” prove fatal they believed. At the turn of the last century the head of the US Patent Office suggested it be closed, since everything worthwhile and of importance had been invented. As late as the 1950's many of the most prominent scientific minds believed man would never survive a trip into space since they were certain passing through the Van Allen radiation belt was not survivable. Since the 1970's everything science thought it knew about dinosaurs has been turned on its head, while revelations in Quantum Mechanics in the last thirty years has shaken physics, the basic laws of everything, at its foundation generating more questions than answers.

Is it not the height of hubris to
think that “now” (or more accurately “this time”) we have all the answers in
any area of study or science, let alone Spiritually? We ride the Black
Horse when we close our minds to growth and greater inspiration and begin
collecting and carefully herding sacred cows, shutting ourselves off from the
fresh winds that drive our higher selves, stagnation in demonstration,
dismissing any contrary thought or belief out of hand because just like
Galileo‘s jailers, the issue, the science is settled and there is nothing left
to learn or discover.
