How I missed my computer.

Well, here I am, eight months later not having posted on any of my blogs.  I have been busy though and I went back to work.  Yes, that is crazy but the government took away my health care and so I thought I might as well go get some more travel money since I have to stay here for six months.
.
I came back the end of Sept last year after having spent a couple of months in South America.  I was there to work with Ayahuasca at two different centers in Peru, Blue Morpho and Ayahuasca Wasi.  Both were great.

When I got home I had no real plan where to live and most of my stuff was in storage. I parked temporarily at my sister and brother-in-laws, Joanne & Bert, at Pike Lake Saskatchewan. That worked well and we decided I should stay all winter. That was useful for them also as they live elsewhere. Pike Lake is not  situated near a 3G network so my Internet use was restricted by a sporadic signal. I was there for five months.

Next I stayed at a friends in Saskatoon to watch her house while she traveled and during that time I found the perfect spot for me. It is a TINY but cheap bachelor apartment and I have been here for a month. I moved most of my stuff from the storage and it is oh-so-good to settle down again. It is just right to have this place to come home to when I wander off again.

I have been making the most of my restored health care with dental work and a couple of minor surgeries.

Today I tried to use my phone for a WI-FI spot and it works perfectly. I am writing this post on my computer through a wireless connection to my phone.

During this time I have also been working on a home study course in Modern Shamanism that is awesome.  More on that another time.

What I am trying to say is that I missed writing my blogs.  I did a blog post every single day while I was traveling the winter before last for six and a half months and I really enjoyed it.

So hello again, or for the first time.  See you soon.

Disipline and Commitment Unplugged

Its good to be back on the page!
I was on another "page" for a while, mostly unwritten but thoroughly experienced.

My year of travelling has wound down and I am home in Saskatoon for the winter. I haven't even put all the photos up on the blog yet but I will finish that off soon.

One incredible thing I did in August this year was attend a 10-ceremony Ayahuasca tour at Blue Morpho in Peru. It was my best tour ever and almost impossible to describe.

Every once in a while though, someone writes something nice which helps provide a clearer picture of what Ayahuasca Shaminism is and why people go there.
Here is an article called Mareado On The Nauta Road . Mareado, is what you are after an Ayauhasca ceremony when still feeling the effects such as mild visual disturbances. The Nauta Road is the road from Iquitos to the Blue Morpho Camp. The article is a guest post by Chris Kilham on the Dawn On The Amazon website. Dawn On The Amazon offer tours and they have a very nice restaurant with outside seating in the shade. Their Captain's Blog contains interesting stories from the region.

Chris Kilham is the founder of the Ayahuasca Test Pilots. He is the FOX News Medicine Hunter, and travels regularly to Peru. He has a web site called Medicine Hunter.

So that's my story. I had great intentions of writing and channelling lots but I guess life just goes where it goes. How do I ever manage to hold a job??? I am home for the winter though and I feel that commitment building again. Wheee!

The lyrics from a Pink song

If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music

If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you're given
It's all how you use it

Question and Answer on Saftey.

This question is from a woman living in BC, Canada. She asks:

"I'm wondering if my two children and I are in a 'safe' place here?"

She says "I just finished reading the amazing story "The Gathering of Eagles" and believe that we're heading towards a new, better world that I hope we will enter peacefully."



Her guides provided this response:

You are asking "are we safe here?" when what you mean to ask is "do we need to fear?"

You are as safe there as you would be anywhere from accidents, natural disasters and the actions of others. You are always held within the love of the creator of the universe, within the whole of the I AM. You cannot be anywhere but there no matter where you might think you are. You are aware that your physical form is not permanent and that it will cease to exist at some point. We cannot give you a time line for that as it is dependant upon many things but you must realize that you will continue to exist even beyond death.

That being said we know that you are longing for the new world. and we know you want to be an instrument in its creation. We assure you that the change which began slowly many years ago is now being accomplished at an amazing speed. It is not possible to stop the changes from completing so you need not worry about that even though there are those who still point to all the darkness in the world. Many souls still have darkness to release and they may create alarming scenarios while they wrestle with those changes.

Your role is to hold space for the light in the world, teach those who come to you for guidance and try to see the light within all people.

For yourself you must locate a group or an individual who doesn't hold fear of darkness within themselves and ask them to show you how to accomplish that for yourself. Your work will be mostly with yourself. You will find and clear judgements and beliefs which are not loving. As you do this you will become a more and more loving person and this is where it is all going. There is nothing but love anywhere in the Universe. We know this because love affects darkness but darkness cannot affect love. The more we realize this the smaller darkness will become, but the more we fear darkness the more it appears to grow.

Do not wait for the new age to come, but invite it now, create it now and be the new age for others.

You can live anywhere and be safe if you solve fear for yourself. Each place will teach you different things and require different things from you. Trust your heart response to choose where to be and when to be there.

So, you see, fear is not helpful. Please let go of all you have heard about how dark the world is. These are judgments and are not true. Each situation has a reason for being so and the individuals involved need help not judgements. You might not be able to do much to change public opinion but you can refuse to accept it yourself. Your actions will encourage others and bring more light to the situation.

We on this side regret that many have been exposed to terrifying situations and even killed in some cases. Realize that you need not be involved in that scenario as it works itself out. Your most important work is with yourself and there is much to be learned there. Those who are working with people who are expressing the dark energy are there to help of course but are also there to acquire the experience and learning for themselves. Realize that we are all learning and growing in different ways."

We assure you that you are both loved and valued and remember that we are always with you."

Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism

Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism

I really love this article. It is presented through Buddhist philosophy but the ideas could stand alone, they make so much sense.

Various traps that spiritual practitioners fall into are investigated -- such as confusing temporary bliss or tranquility with the awakened state of mind.

I particularly like this paragraph:
"We must surrender our hopes and expectations, as well as our fears, and march directly into disappointment, work with disappointment, go into it and make it our way of life, which is a very hard thing to do. Disappointment is a good sign of basic intelligence. It cannot be compared to anything else: it is so sharp, precise, obvious and direct. If we can open, then we suddenly begin to see that our expectations are irrelevant compared with the reality of the situations we are facing. This automatically brings a feeling disappointment.

Disappointment is the best chariot to use on the path of the dharma. It does not confirm the existence of our ego and its dreams."

Releasing fear and healing my soul..

Greetings;

You asked about fear.

Fear is a concept you hold which allows you to name a set of physical, mental and emotional behaviours resulting at times when you feel the absence of your soul strength. When you are in fear, and disconnected from your soul strength, you are disconnected from your heart center and you feel vulnerable with respect to what is happening around you.

Your heart knows there is nothing to fear because it is unified with the one mind. Your human mind knows this too when it connects through the heart, but when it does not it is forced to rely upon old data, beliefs and strategies for its input.

Your mind thinks it is here to master the world and it doesn't like feeling fear, so whenever it does it puts up defenses to banish the threat or the feeling of fear. Since fear has always been so avoided you have never had the opportunity to find and heal the original pain underneath the fear.


The following was an interaction which the guides lead me through. The energies are available to you by reading the words below. Still your mind and meditate a few minuets before beginning. Read one paragraph at a time and pause at the end of each paragraph to meditate and allow the energies to complete before you move on to the next paragraph.


We would like to aid you in that healing by assisting you with a reconnection to your lost soul fragment.

You will be offered an energy which is the fragment of self that departed a long time ago because it felt threatened. We will return it to you if you wish.

1. Begin by holding your hands together in front of your chest and open your system to receive the healing energy which is being delivered to you now.

2. Once you feel an energy moving through you ask to receive it through your system and then open your hands, palm up, in front of you and we will return your soul fragment into them.

3. Once you feel your energy fragment has arrived in your hands, bring your hands toward your heart center and let them rest there on your chest holding your soul fragment close.

4. Continue holding the fragment. Now using another energy we are cleansing old beliefs, patterns, strategies and yes, fears out of your physical, mental and emotional self. You will feel the energy flowing out through the front of your body even as you hold your hands over your soul fragment, protecting it from the discharging energies.

5. Once you feel the flow of released energy has finished, invite the soul fragment to enter your physical body and ask that it merge with all of your other energies.

Congratulations! You have removed interfering energies which have kept you from this aspect of yourself and you have restored it to its natural home.

We are pleased to have been of service and will continue to be so. You need only ask.

What does being in the "now" mean to you?

Are you willing to let go of what you think to do it?
I am loving this piece because it shows how what we think contradicts what we feel.
