Earth Heart




Without the beat of her heart we do not exist.

The Medicine

In This Moment
Do You Respect You Without Question!
Do You Trust You Without Question!
Do You Accept You Just As You Are Without Change!!!

Hi I am Jim TwoFeathers and beside me is my wife, Lorraine.

I am a member of the Mvscogee Nation (Wolf Clan)> I am also Cherokee and Ishwa Catawba. I have been an artist and writer and have walked the Medicine Path for many years. These pages are about Native Medicine, Spirit, Poetry and Art. Through my Native Medicine teachers and visioning, I came to understand and walk my Wolf/Coyote ways.

Lorraine, has the ability "see" what's going on inside you physically and Spiritually. We sit in the circle together with our prayers and seeing!

Holding a place for The Medicine.

Sometimes while setting alone late at night Spirit walks into the room. My body reacts in many different ways. Sometimes my eyes flood with tears. Sometimes I shiver. Sometimes I am excited. Sometimes I just sit and listen. But every time I am in awe of the power of it. Spirit enters the room, how can I say it?…”Constant”. I am always flooded with emotion. In that moment my vision clears and from this place I can see great distances. I use to see that if only we could all see from “here” the Earth could be right. But you see, over time, the more I understand the breadth of my vision. I have come to understand my job was never to bring that clarity!

The Old Ones have come to me with their message. “Hold a place for The Medicine”!! What is this….Medicine you ask? It is walking with The Constant Spirit! Not as the world sees fit but with the rightness you truly know in your heart. Trust you now! Respect you now! Accept you just as you are now!!! Honor The Earth Mother and ALL upon and within Now!!! Because Death is always only one heartbeat away, All you really have is Now!!! And why would Creator ask any Less of us. Because only you, can see as you see, which is your gift. And my “Gift” is to hold a place for The Medicine!

Post Eclipse


So…………..how is everyone. The night of the eclipse was a wild night indeed. I watched until the moon was dark and that lovely rust colour….then I got too sleepy to stay up, so I went to bed. Even though I was tired, I laid there for a long time feeling the energy pulling on my feet and legs and all the way up to my head. I could feel the energy on the crown chakra, the third eye tunnel and the throat chakra. I could feel it in my hand chakras, and feet chakras and in the base chakra. I could feel it in the heart chakra, solar plexus, navel and abdomen. I felt like I was being lifted off the bed. It was so wonderful and soon I drifted off to sleep with all this going on.
When I woke…….woah…………I was stuffy, and had one big head. Most of the ache was at the base of my neck and into the shoulders. It’s been a rough day after the eclipse and made a bit more difficult with my dog getting sick. He is so sensitive to all the changes and energies flying around. He’ll be okay though. Mommy is looking after him.
The energy that came with this moon was so powerful. It felt as though the head, heart and the base chakra were being all lined up in a row.
Each time we move through one of these powerful stellar or planetary "gates", we move into higher levels of personal and planetary evolution. For here, in the Fifth Dimension of Consciousness, we are all connected. We are all One. The movements of the Planets and the Stars are a part of us. They are the energies that are expressed in our Galactic Lightbodies. The more we are "awake" and connected into our Multi-dimensional self, the more we will be aware of the flows of Cosmic Light and how these flows assist the development of our Personal and Planetary evolution. Events like this Total Lunar Eclipse are the outward "signs" of the Great Heart of the Cosmos moving in us and through us. The beautiful cycles of Light and Energy unfolding on Spirals of Light into further aspects of the Becoming of All That Is.
There is another solar eclipse coming latter this year, and the opening of yet another gateway.
My diet has changed drastically over the years. I can no longer tolerate meat in my diet. It does some nasty things to me. I can tolerate only unbleached white flour as the rest just about do me in. I have tried the gluten free flours…but they are so expensive. I exist on raw vegetables and fruit…..no citrus, as it has me flat out too if I do. I drink herbal teas and lots of water. I also indulge in nuts and seeds. I am looking forward to spring as I will be out there learning how to live without a grocery store on what Creator has provided for us. This is something that I know I must learn for the not so distant future.
Our new Lightbodies will not be able to tolerate the heavy foods much longer and indeed mine already does not.

“The great teachings unanimously emphasize that all the peace, wisdom and joy in the universe are already within us, we don’t have to gain, develop, or attain them.
We’re like a child standing in a beautiful park with his eyes shut tight. We don’t need to imagine trees, flowers, deer, birds, and shy; we merely need to open our eyes and realize what is already here, who we really are…..as soon as we quit pretending we are small or unholy.”

Oneness and Co-creating

Do not walk behind me; I may not lead,
Do not walk infront of me; I may not follow,
Walk beside me; that we may be as one.
Unknown


The time for oneness has arrived. Can you feel it?
The time to stop thinking with your mind is coming to an end.
The time to start thinking with your hearts has arrived.
Creator has gifted us with the ability to Co-create the new world.
If you truly want a world of peace, joy, and abundance for all, then now is the time to jump in and start creating that world with positive thoughts and positive actions, and positive emotions.
Spirit Bear

For those of us who are stuck on idle while we wait for more people to catch up to us at this time of Co-creating our new world, we are experiencing much in the form of neck and shoulder pain and fluctuations between pure joy and crankiness. My husband would agree to the cranky I am sure and so too the dog who covers me in slim in his efforts to cheer me up…..so, for your reading pleasure today I will share this story written by Jim Two Feathers:

Water Prayers

The old Medicine Man stops along side the stream and takes in his surroundings. He takes in the trees and boulders he has learned to know and respect so well, remembering thoughtfully this place and how many times over the many years he had stopped here to rest on his journey to the Gathering of Elders. The stream, full as usual with the spring rains, fills the air with the familiar sounds and smells of the Water Beings rushing over the boulders on their way to the Great Water. He walks over and steps onto his old friend, a large flat boulder at the edge of the stream and begins…

He takes his well worn backpack off his shoulders, reaches in and pulls out his Medicine Bag and opens it and pulls out his tobacco pouch and pipe bag and lays them gently on his old stone friend now warmed by the morning sun. With a painful grunt and creaking bones he sits cross-legged with his pipe bag and Medicine bag spread out in front of him next to the water. . Out of his Medicine bag he pulls a worn folded square piece of red wool cloth and places it unfolded on the stone. With practiced hands he reaches into his Medicine bag and pulls out his old abalone shell with it's smoke darkened inner bowl. Then he pulls out a small bag full of white sage and cedar mix and lay them on the cloth. He opens the bag and sticks his nose at the opening and inhales deeply taking in the familiar fragrance of the sage and cedar. With a prayer of thanks to the Sage and Cedar beings he crumbles them into his abalone shell and sits it on to the cloth. He pulls his pipe bowl out of its deer hide pouch and his pipe stem out of its pouch and lays them respectfully onto his cloth. Out of his shirt pocket he pulls out a small box of matches out of which he pulls a match and lights it and gives thanks to the Fire Beings for bringing light and warmth into his life and then picks up the shell and lights the sage and cedar mixture while blowing the breath of life gently until it glows and a wisp of smoke rises Skyward. Out of his Medicine bag he pulls an eagle feather. While holding the smoking shell he waves the smoke over his head and his body He then picks up each of the other sacred objects laying there and waves the smoke over each of them, his lips always moving in his prayers of cleansing for all. He then pulls out his tobacco pouch and picks up his pipe bowl and begins to fill it with small pinches of tobacco. Each pinch with its own prayer to the Tobacco being. He takes out one final pinch and offers it to water beings and puts it into the rushing water and watches them race off to the Great Water. Holding his still unconnected stem and pipe bowl he holds them to the seven sacred directions: East, West, South, North, then touches the Earth Mother, and holds them up to the Sky Father and then to himself, each with their own prayers. He then inserts the male symbol of the stem into the female symbol of pipe bowl with the prayer of the union knowing the pipe was live and ready to give birth to the smoke as prayers to the Great Spirit. With another fire stick he lights his pipe and gives his final prayer, the Water prayer because he was here to honor the Life-giving Water Beings. For some years this part of the ceremony brought him sadness because he could not do what he had been able to do in his youth during this ceremony. Drink the Water! So this part of the ceremony had changed and the prayer was changed to; “May this stream one day run clear cold and pure as it once did”. As he smokes his pipe he reflects on his past years in this sacred spot doing this ceremony again with sadness knowing this simple ceremony was done by so few. And knew that when it had been done by many the Water did run clear, cold and pure! In his head he hears the voices of all the Tree, Plant, Stone, Animal, Fish….All of the beings saying, “Remember us and all will run clear, cold and pure”.

After finishing his pipe and ceremony the Medicine Man repacks his pack and stands and gives a small bow to all and turns and walks on to the Gathering.

Remember!!!!!

Anomal Totems


About Animal Totems

In earlier days we understood that we were simply a part of the earth. We knew we were only one small part. Now many think humans are the greatest and most important part. But still, we are only a part of the earth, only a part of nature, only a child of Mother, only a part of Spirit. We used to know respect of Nature and killed only what we ate and used only the skins of what we killed and ate. We did not waste life nor disrespect spirits but honored and thanked them for providing us with life, nourishment, and comfort. In earlier days we gave recognition to the power of the animal spirits by wearing skins, masks, mimicking, singing praise, and prayers to specific animals. We painted the animals on our homes, caves, death chambers, and asked the Spirit to guide us to the animal that we consumed and bless the spirit of the animal we kill for we are a predator in the part of Nature and we honored the spirit of our prey. These acts allowed us to remain linked to the animal guides and to accept the power they offer us in lessons, in life, and in death. It reminded us that all animals, were our sisters, brothers, and cousins and most importantly our teachers and our friends. It reminded us that we too are animals with spirit.

The Natural Power of animal totems has not been lost. They still hold the power and the knowledge we can use. Only we must remember how to be One with Nature and all that is, has been, and will be. Cultures of the past understood the connections. We must not lose this connection now that we are 'cultured'. For what was will always be and all those cultures could not have been wrong. There is a reason that Spirit has put all of us together, has given us so many healing stones, and has given us medicine, for the body and the spirit. We are all one. Using Animal Totems will allow you to see and love the earth better, to know life better, to know yourself better, and to commune better with Mother and Spirit. You can be healthier and happier physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in understanding and honoring your animal totems.

Animals come to us because they have a lesson we need to learn a power they are willing to share with a friend. They seek to give us a gift of understanding, universal love, energy, and knowledge (ULEK). In general, animals remind us that we are part of the earth; that each creature has a place; that each creature has a skill of it's own; that we have instincts given to us from Mother, wisdom born to us that we must awaken. The Animal Totem that comes to you offers you power and wisdom if you will learn to communicate with it, with respect, trust, and understanding. Developing a relationship with a live animal totem takes time, practice, patience and could be very dangerous. Having an animal totem does not mean that you are to pet the animal or even be with it physically. Having an animal totem means that you have lessons to learn and a powerful spiritual friend.

Each animal has it's own special power and message, for each animal has a powerful spirit and an inherent skill. Animal Spirits choose a person to be a companion to, a friend to, not the other way around. You can not think, 'gee a bear is cute or powerful and I like what it represents so the Bear will be my Animal Totem'. No, the animal will choose you and make itself known to you. You will only need to pay attention to discover what your totems are. After you define the types of animal totems you can go to a questionnaire to learn what animals are your totems.

Mistakenly people often think of animals as non-spiritual, uncultured, and less intelligent than humans. Some people do not even think animals have Spirit. Not so - an animal is close to Spirit, is Spirit because they have never been taught differently. They know the truth of ULEK for they are ULEK. Animals are wondrous happy creatures - think of these things to remind you....

Could you, for your whole life without tools or weapons, even survive in the wild?
Could you weave a bird's nest or spider's web?
Could you catch a fish with your hands?
Would you know how to migrate without a compass? Or even when it was time to migrate?
Can you carry things ten times your own body weight?
Do you know what you can and can't eat in the wild?
Can you go through life happy like animals do?
Can you experience the moment like an animal does?
Could you get along with five to twenty other beings for your entire life and remain in the herd?
Could you for hours simply resting and in contemplate (meditate perhaps, perhaps talk directly with Spirit)?
Do you take hours a day to just be with your family and to simply play and hug like most mammals?

Types of Animal Totems

When discovering totems you must first understand if the totem is a Life Totem, A Journey Totem, Shadow Totem, or a Message Totem. All totems are powerful but the meaning that the totem brings will vary on your action depending on what type of totem has come to you.

Your Life Long Animal Totem works with you throughout your entire life or until such time that you no longer need that animal totem. It is always there when you need it's powers. Always reminding you of your power and connectivity. You may have only one or a few Life totems. They may become your Life totem at any time. But the primary Life Totem will be our focus at this time. The messages that your Life Totem brings are a hard reminder from Mother. Your Life Totem is always there for you and generally reflects your inner spiritual nature. Many call your Life Long animal totem your Spirit totem. For example if your Life Totem was a Penguin you would be a person who should be very spiritual since the penguin moves better in water (the symbol of the astral plane - which is were we go when we dream) than it does on land. Being able to leap out of the water (up to six feet) represents the ability of out of body experiences. It is also important to understand which type of penguin is your animal totem since some have additional characteristics that are important to consider, like most penguins life in tropical conditions not arctic ones.

A Journey Animal Totem reflects a period of time. Not just a day but weeks, months, or maybe year s- the time it takes you to walk the path that the Animal Totem is reminding or guiding you on. During this journey you will find that this animal is always showing up in your life or that several animal totems will appear in your life all to guide you on the path. When you find one, two or three animals all of a sudden making an appearance and their nature all has the same basis then you have found the basis of your path. The difference between the Journey Animal Totem and the Message Animal Totem is a period of time. A Message animal Totem will bring itself to you quickly and impartially where a Journey Animal Totem will slip in and out of your life over the course of a period. Looking into the cycle of the animal also can give insight to the length of the journey.

A Message Animal Totem usually is bringing you a self growth, spiritual message, or a cautionary warning. It is often a wake up call or slap in the face. It will usually be a very unusual experience making it very powerful at that time and very impartial. A Message Totem is a brief period of time, a day, a week, and occasionally as much as a couple of months but can be immediate for just a few hours. Sometimes a Message totem is not bringing you a message but causing a delay in your life. This delay, such as when you are trying to leave to go somewhere, is often in assistance for you; to be sure you are not in a place at a certain time so that you avoid an accident or can catch a phone call or meet someone you are supposed to run into.

A Shadow Animal Totem are those totems that test us. They have great power for us but will put us through tests before they will let their power work with and for us, instead of against us. In all of nature there is prey and predator. In the spiritual or Shadow World there is the same. A Shadow Animal Totem is one that initially you fear. The Shadow Totem often represents inner fears that you must overcome. You may have even been attracted by the animal; a very vivid test to see if you are ready to accept the power of the animal totem. Until you face the fears of the Shadow Animal Totem it's powers will work against you, not letting you soar high. When you overcome the fear of the Shadow Animal Totem you bring it into the Light World as a Spirit animal totem and they become one of your most powerful Animal Totems. Your goal with a Shadow Totem is to learn the lessons and incorporate that animal into your life. If you are scared by something over and over then you still have not accepted the lesson that animal has for you.

The Dream Time

Grandfather
Look at our brokeness.
We Know that in all creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the sacred way.
We know that we are the ones
Who are divided,
And we are the ones
Who must come back together
To walk the sacred way.
Grandfather
Sacred One
Teach us love, compassion, honor,
That we may heal the Earth,
And heal each other.

Ojibway prayer


Did you know that dreams are very important to us all. They help us release old useless baggage and work out our daily problems. They also tell us our future, and it is the future I wish to share with you today that has been shown to me in a dream that has been recurring since childhood. The dream changed slightly over the years to accommodate the changes in my life. It changed to include my husband and my children. I had this dream again last night, and I think that it is time to share it with you.

We are sitting in a restaurant, my husband, our children and I. We are eating our salads and talking about the projects we have been working on. The grass in this dream is the greenest I have ever seen it and there are flowers everywhere you look, and the sky is so blue and clear and clean. I am facing the window and suddenly I see a huge black cloud pop into view. It is moving fast, like it has a jet engine attached to it, and as it gets closer I see that it is not black, but a purple grey, like the big storm clouds you see in the summer. It suddenly stops over the south west corner of the town, right over an old church steeple. By now everyone has noticed this cloud too and all eyes are watching it. As we watch the cloud, small pieces begin to break off the cloud and they move away from the bigger one and they stop just infront of certain buildings in the town and spread out beyond the town too. There is one right in front of the restaurant that we are sitting in. We all go outside to see these clouds. As I look around I see that everyone in the town has come out to see what is going on. As we watch the clouds they suddenly become furry looking. They look like the wet clumpy hair on an animal when it has been caught in the rain, and then they begin to roil and boil about and now the people are becoming frightened and some of them leave and go back inside the buildings. The wind comes up strong and it almost knocks us off our feet, but we stay. The boiling goes on for a time and suddenly bolts of pink lightning begin to shoot from the clouds and now people are bolting for cover and my husband and I pull the children in close to us to make a shield around them so that they won’t be trampled in the stampede. As this is going on, the wind stops as suddenly as it started, and then I see a huge pink ball come shooting out of each cloud and that is followed by two angels, and they are followed by animals of every kind, and they are followed by birds, and they are followed by butterflies and dragon flies and there are flower petals falling from the clouds and herbs, and as I look around I see that only my husband, children and I remain outside the restaurant. I watch as the big pink ball becomes a huge blossom, and as the petals unfold I see that it is a woman. Her skin is so white, her hair is red, and she has big green eyes and the petals are not petals they are pink butterfly wings, and they have a black trim on them. She stops right infront of us and smiles at us. The angels are male and female, the male is on her right side and the female is on her left and they smile at us too. The animals are in a circle all around us. They are not vicious. They are lying in the grass or playing together. The birds are on the grass too or flying in a huge circle around us and the butterflies flit about us and the dragonflies hover about us too. We are filled with so much love at this point and as I look around the town I see that there are a few people who stayed outside at each building too and they are from every race of people on earth and I was filled with so much joy to see this. And I knew that soon we would all be together as we should be.

Great change is coming. Indeed it has already begun. The time of peace, joy, harmony, and abundance is coming.
Are you ready?

Searching for Home


We are all searching for something we know as home, something that we feel is home. Home is not necessarily a particular physical place. Rather it is a place of connection in the heart that is full of belonging. Home is something that changes as we change. It is a place where we are at peace with things, where we are safe and open to whatever needs to happen. Sometimes we stumble across home without meaning to. Home is a feeling of warmth; it is a moment of truth that transcends all time.

As we live our life, we learn about home and we learn about ourselves. Home is a story. Home is a way. Home is a Medicine Song carried into the night by the Moon and further along by her lover, the Sun as they come together in harmony and balance. Home is all that feels familiar and comfortable, it inspires us to always and forever be more. It is the silent dream of a child, wishing, hoping, creating......unlimited by the fears and emptiness of those who turn away from the earth’s energy.

No matter what, home is the ground upon which we walk, which has always been there for us and always offers herself to us tenderly. The land and the people are one. The spirit never dies.

The way of the Shaman is the way of life; it is the way of humility, of giving, of loving and of thankfulness.

As you walk your journey do not forget to touch Elohino, Mother Earth. As you walk let your footsteps fall lightly upon the ground. Come down upon your knees press your hands gently upon her body, feel her heart beating. Do not forget what she feels like. Listen closely to her humming, her smells and sounds. Listen to her ancient song that needs no words. She will never ask you to come to her, that is not her way. She asks for nothing and offers everything.

Whether you have found home or you are looking, it is good to be thankful. Thankful for what it is that has power for you. What holds beauty for you? What gives you peace and joy? The Sacred Fire glows eternally in our hearts and for this, we have much to be thankful.

These are my words of life; these are my words of truth. I speak the words, and this is my breath of life, take it in and offer it forth.

Ogedoda Galun' lahi
Ogadosji
Osada Nuwati
Elohino
Yolda
Hoyona
Wah doh

O Great One
Who dwells in the sky
illuminating all that is,
Giving good medicine of life
and the Great Creation,
our Mother Earth
Knowing that all things are as they should be,
We give thanks for the
beauty of all things
O Great One

We Give Thanks

Whoa....What a Ride


So………..how is everyone today? If you are as sensitive to Mother Earth and all the changes going on then the eclipse on Thursday probably knocked your socks off.
I have been having difficulty just trying to think, let alone function properly. This morning I took my husband a cup of tea while he worked away on his computer and we talked for a bit before I picked up his mug of tea and was going to head off to get started on my own work.
He very gently informed me that it was okay if I left the cup of tea there for him. I looked at him in puzzlement and he nodded at the mug of tea in my hand. I set it down and laughed at myself with him and then headed off to get started on the things I wanted to get done before sitting down here to write my blog.
I have been doing things like this ever since Thursday morning. My fingers have a mind of their own too now it seems. If I were to try to make a living at being a typist this week, I would really be in trouble.
I do not expect this to improve too much this month as there are some really powerful things happening at various times all this month.
So hang on tight and try to enjoy the ride.

A Message From A Friend


Some manifestations of the rapidly changing energies;Why we are near the end of the transition;Why miracles and surprises are unfolding daily; and my miracle re-union with Phil.

Such a turn of events I have never seen thus far in our spiritual evolutionary process, with new twists and turns at any given moment, great surprises, and miracles abounding!

This transition phase from one dimensional reality to another, as we enter into the land of prosperity, new beginnings, and the life of our wildest dreams has been an eventful one, to say the least. It seems that we just complete one stage, and then we are into quite another, as we begin aligning with the best of us, aligning with what it is we truly and deeply want, aligning with what we are now a better match for, and aligning with our own particular versions of heaven.

Being that we are aligning and shifting at different rates, although pretty much all on the same page now, we may find that we are a match for something one day, and not a match the next. So much is shifting as we are settling into our higher states within, that much is being created in regard to a vast array of choices being offered to us. And in addition, what was a given one day, can suddenly become moot the next.

As we see-saw our way into a very new reality, it can be unsettling, challenging, and interesting at best to hold a line when so much seems to be changing at any given moment. It can seem that we make a permanent decision at one phase of our settling in process, and then everything changes and a new decision is then called for, as the matching up process has dictated a very new scenario indeed. But ever so slowly, we are reaching our final destinations for this transitional phase, even if we have had to tick tack our way there.

Here in the US, we just had the Super Bowl…a football game which decides the champion team for the year. One team, the Patriots, was undefeated for 18 straight games. The opposing team, the Giants, had lost a few games. The odds makers predicted a 12 ½ point spread, with the Giants losing. My first Super Bowl…it was truly amazing.

Neck in neck for most of the game, at the very end, the Giants scored a touchdown and won the game much to everyone’s surprise. A team that had held a consistent winning streak, or a consistent energy for months, very suddenly experienced a change. The energies are changing so rapidly now, that about anything can and is happening. Energies which had been lagging behind are now catching up…as there is still opportunity for all to come on board.

Our presidential elections here in the US are reflecting the same. One candidate may have held the lead for many months with the expectancy of a win, and then very suddenly, another takes the fore-front as the energies are changing. The see-sawing begins, and then eventually, the dust settles.

In this regard, expect to see a big surprise in the final results. We are heading for a very new beginning, and this energy will dictate much in regard to future manifestations. Our Barrack Obama reflects the energy of the new, and we will see him catching up and creating great changes of hearts in the minds of many. The new energies which have lagged behind as they were not yet a match for the new energies during previous predictions, will suddenly explode, catch up, and dictate a very new scenario.

And this is what happened in regard to my marriage as well. I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams that Phil and I would re-unite (or I would have never announced it to my readers, and believe me, it was the most difficult energy alert I ever had to write), but oh so suddenly on the last day of January, the shifts within us finally “gestated” to their final levels, and we were once again an incredibly perfect match. I don’t believe that he or I remotely resemble the people we were when we first met a year ago last February…we were total opposites in every way, and as 2007 was the year for creating balance, it is indeed occurring for many of us.

Phil has always said that it has been interesting being married to someone who always knows what is coming. There were never any surprises for us. But I have to say that I love it when Source surprises us! There have been so many exciting surprises in the past few weeks, it has been like opening Christmas packages, never knowing what may be inside. We may think that the old patterns of what usually occurs will indeed occur again, or perhaps that things are always set in stone, but the “predictors” have been way off this time, and how divine it is!

This is because we are entering very new territory, and it is the territory of the higher vibrating energies. We are our best and truest selves now, with so much having been purged in 2007. This is when miracles abound, as like energies continue to attract like energies, but the energies which have remained are vibrating so much higher that it will soon feel as though we have indeed entered the gates of heaven, as we attract to us so many awesome miracles.

Yesterday, the 5th of February, marked the point of our lowest ebb. On this day, some of us may have felt that we could take no more, that we had had enough disappointments, that nothing might ever change, and our spirits might never be rejuvenated again. The energies had to go as far as they possibly could in regard to hitting the bottom, or in regard to having nothing really manifesting for us yet except losses and the old. This is as far as they needed to go, even though it may have felt as if we were deflated, lethargic, sorrowful, greatly disempowered, and severely disappointed.

But this stage has reached its final destination, and is now over. It is over now because of the solar eclipse which is due to arrive tomorrow, February 7th. Solar eclipses always bring in a very new beginning. The sun is blocked for a time, and when it re-emerges, it is a very new day. The old stops and the new arrives after the standstill or “end” has completed itself. And as any cosmic occurrences and energy shifts have been increasing their power and effects exponentially as we continue to evolve, this event will be a big one indeed.

Our beloved inhabitants of the land down under, have asked over the past months, if the energies affect them the same as they affect those in the northern hemisphere. Generally speaking, they do indeed. We are all going through the ascension process together, and are thus affected the same. Of course there are variances to the degree in which we are affected, as some of us are more sensitive than others, and some are more tapped into energies than others.

In addition, North America is the fore-runner for most of the planet, in regard to the fact that it embodies the energy that the rest of the planet jumps off from. Of course there are many countries and other areas that embody a much higher vibrating energy and reality, but North America holds the energies for change, for embodying what needs to change, and so forth. It is hard to describe here in words.

So then, we here in North America are much more affected by various changes that those in other areas of the planet may not be. Phil has provided some input here, as he speaks in facts, and I speak in terms of energy (the same way we give our tours), as I couldn’t figure out how to explain this: “The bushmen of the Kalahari, for instance, really aren’t affected by a stock market crash, as they are so far removed from the source. The bushmen of the Kalahari may be more affected by the weather. McDonalds began in the US. Now they are all over the world. You can now go to Madrid or Moscow and get a Big Mac. So then, the US has an incredible global effect. Whatever happens in the US has an effect then, all over the world.”

The US has much to change in regard to systems, or perhaps embodies more of what is to fall. There are those who have recently visited here, and strongly felt a need to flee. When they returned home to their native land, they felt much better. And this is how it is. There are more channelers and the like in Northern America as well. This continent embodies the avant-garde, and because of this, it has much to “un-do,” even though there are many here who embody the energy of the new world as well.

As far as being in the beginning the stages of living in community, each community embodies its own specific purpose, and each community will be separate from the whole, but all these communities will connect with each other and create a whole as well; a much higher vibrating whole. All energies here on the planet are not vibrating at the same level right now, so in this way, these separations will occur, even though they will also create unity. Higher vibrating energies cannot reside in the same space as lower vibrating energies…this is simply the law of how energy works, and this is what creates the hierarchies that comprise the order of the universe.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those in the southeast of the US who have recently experienced such great loss from the powerful and tumultuous tornadoes. Our thoughts and our love are with you.

Creation and Life Experience


What are you thinking……right now……..at this very moment? Are those thoughts good thoughts? Or are they negative thoughts and feelings? Did you know that your thoughts become manifest? If you are thinking that you job sucks and you wish you could work else where. You have just set in motion the ending of the job that sucks. It can happen just like that……except that you have no control over how this will happen. Suddenly you could find that you have been fired and now you have to find a new job.
So choose carefully what you want to manifest in your life. You are in control of your own life. Be careful what you think at all times. Don’t let your mental body rule your life, because your emotional body will suffer for it. Try to choose things that will benefit all four bodies, mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical, and remember that you will experience the manifestation of your intentions, in what ever way they are manifested for you.
See your life as a new adventure with every sunrise, and learn as much as you possibly can every day.
Be grateful for all that is.

Two Horses



Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it.
From a distacnce, each looks like every other horse.
But if you stop your car, or are walking by,
you will notice something quite amazing.
Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind.
His owner has chosen not to have him put down,
but has made a good home for him.
This alone is amazing.
If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell.
Looking around for the source of the sound,
you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field.
Attached to her halter is a small bell.
It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.
As you stand and watch these two friends,
you'll see how she is always checking on him,
and that he will listen for her bell and then
slowly walk to where she is,
trusting that she will not lead him astray.
When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening,
she stops occasionally and looks back,
making sure her friend isn't too far behind to hear her bell.
Like the owners of these two horses,
Family and firends do not throw us away
just becuause we are not perfect or
because we have problems or challenges.
They watch over us and even bring others
into our lives to help us when we are in need.
Sometimes we are the blind horse beeing guided by
the little ringing bell of those who
family and friends place in our lives.
Other times we are the Guide Horse, helping others see.
Good friends are like this.
You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
Please listen for my bell, and i'll listen for yours.

Aho
