Your Guardian Angel Wants You to Have an Orgasm

What?

Why?

So they can communicate with you easier.

If you think masturbation is simply an animalistic, self-centred pleasure, think again. Sex, especially when ('done'? 'performed'?) experienced by yourself opens you to your Guardian Angel's messages.

One of the ways it does that is by stilling the chatter in your mind. Let's face it, as you're having an orgasm, you're not exactly capable of thinking about anything else, are you? Whether male or female, we all get caught up in things that concern us; we're predisposed to preoccupy ourselves with things we feel we have to 'do'. Masturbation can automatically bring us into balance - it opens us to our capacity for Receiving as much as our propensity towards giving /'doing'.

(Sex in general) helps us to enjoy and be in the 'Now' moment. There's the blissful emotional and physical enjoyment of it (at least, I sincerely hope it's that way for you), but there's also a bonus, in that it balances out our energy such that we're better enabled to give to the world in a much more grounded and centred way.

Sexual energy is a powerful expression of our creative force. Your physical body is a medium. Orgasm activates your chakras, your lower ones especially, your creative and manifesting centres. Allowing your sexual energy to flow causes your creative energy to flow. It connects us to our own Divinity in the sense that it strengthens our intimate connection to the energetic Universe in a profoundly powerful way.

If your third eye is somewhat open to begin with, clearing out your energy system through orgasm can stimulate greater clarity in that respect. For others though, it's the tantric stimulation of the chakras that help facilitate communication. Through empowering this connection, you make it easier for messages to manifest in (what you perceive as being) your physical surroundings.

Following an orgasm, keep your awareness open for signs and synchronicities, in whatever way your guides might communicate to you. Whether it's via a poster, a radio conversation you overhear, a found object, a cloud formation; whatever it is, keep your awareness open for messages from your Guardian Angel, both immediately after an orgasm and for the next day or two.

If you're experiencing your orgasm through sharing sex with a partner rather than alone and you intend to check in immediately afterwards to see if you're aware of any Divine Guidance, maybe let your partner know ahead of time that you might seem a bit 'distant' afterwards. I suppose it would hurt for you to tell them they're helping you connect to angels!

It came to mind that some of you might also have had the experience of connecting to specific spirits tantrically (in a way that feels very physical). With the practice of orgasm for receiving messages in mind, I posed the question, "Are there any dangers associated with this method of receiving communications?"

As puzzling as what came was to me at first, I trust what messages I'm given. I was assuming beforehand that I'd receive something about making sure your messages are actually from your Guardian Angel, and not from some other entity trying to take advantage of your juicy energy, but what I was guided to communicate as a more pertinent danger is: "working too hard".

On the one hand, I take it to mean that working to hard will kill you much faster than enjoying (safe) sex will! Hahaha! But also, 'don't try too hard'. Allow answers to come to you, rather than chase after them. It's kind of the whole point of the method.

I was also provided with an astral vision, to go along with what I've been guided to write about here:

white collar
(becomes) origami bird /wings

In other words, if you need a way to relax from your 'work' (or whatever it is that gets you fired up), you could try origami, but sex will give you wings!

And hey, if it's possible this can help develop your intuitive gifts, is it going to hurt to try?

If you have an orgasm and still find yourself frustrated (in receiving messages, I mean), I'd be more than happy to help (my reception works regardless): Meet Your Guardian Angel

Healing the Waters of Japan: creating an ‘antidote-frequency’ wave

'Rainbow Wave' image courtesy of Teri Gilfilen

It’s so easy to be angry about what’s happening as a result of Fukushima. If you could use your energy to remedy the situation, would you?

Our anger arises out of helplessness, but are we helpless, or do we just perceive ourselves as being so? People are Hugely capable energetic beings, YOU being one of them!

Just telling the-powers-that-be that they should do things differently isn’t in and of itself going to get it done, and neither are well-intentioned physical efforts, not if a significant segment of mankind continues unconsciously being led by motivations that don’t truthfully serve the planet and humanity.

I heal people with what it is that I do in my healing vocation. And while I’m aware that healing ourselves as individuals does indeed bring healing to Gaia, myself and many others have been hearing a Divine calling to help “bring healing to the waters of Japan”.

How to do this ‘Big Work’? For my part, I’m to do a vision quest and create a ‘script’ from it that can be used to produce a frequency cancellation wave to counteract the impulses that have been causing these harmful, self-destructive actions. What you follow up with from there is between you and Spirit.

Simply reading – in other words, 'observing' – an antidote-frequency script like the one that follows will cause your mind to create the energetic impulses needed to produce the desired cancellation wave. As an Immensely powerful energetic being, what you project out into the Universe as a result of this experience will have an affect on said Universe.

In the next day following (two at the most), notice any environmental ‘good news’ or related synchronistic events that come into the sphere of your experience, as confirmation of positive change taking place. ACCEPT what’s presented as a gift, AND SHARE it with others.

For some of you, the images this script brings up in your mind will seem silly or unrelated to the change you’d like to see happen. Consider though, that the images themselves are in a way actually irrelevant; it’s the resulting frequencies that you’ll be transmitting that are of significance, and they will be slightly different for each person. While this is a collective undertaking, every individual makes a unique, Essential contribution.

[If you’d like more information on how this process works, you’ll find a description of how it applies (on an individual level) in this article: http://blackfeathermedicine.blogspot.pt/2013/08/life-is-music-but-what-if-your-theme_13.html]

Here’s the script that’s been channelled to me. Whether you’re inclined to just read the words, make a recording of them and play it back to yourself, or do both simultaneously [preferred] is up to you (sing and /or dance them, if you’re moved to!); you Know best!…


black man /woman with a lei around her neck,

(her) red lips,

[yellow] kerchief wrapped ‘round her head

fish mouth (no,) tube of many cigarettes (~ ‘toxic’)

they’re burning

in the flames, a (divine) being, reaching round, enwrapping all

…Release!

(give:) “thanks for the help”

What to do next? Use your intuitive abilities in whatever way you’re feeling Called to. What you have to offer is Much needed! If you don’t feel confident about that, contact me, and I’ll do whatever I can to help you ‘out’.

Life is Music: but what if your theme song Doesn't fit your movie?

All ‘things’ are energy. In the case of (seemingly) physical objects, our senses give the illusion of form to those energies, and the form they take depends on what frequency the energies are vibrating at and how our senses perceive them.

When I say All things, that includes our conscious and unconscious thoughts. In fact, what you perceive as being your life is an expression of frequencies, like a song. Whatever melodies your own energy puts out into the world will translate into what appears to you as the production of your perceived reality.

Actions you take and conscious thoughts you have constitute notes, but your song is also made up of residual notes from (things like) past life experiences. In other words, many of the notes being played are ones that you’re not consciously aware of, and this ‘noise’ can alter the show by creating things you might not want in your dreamed-of theatrical production – the curtains don’t open when they’re supposed to, none of the other performers are where you’d want them to be, and the box office isn’t drawing!

When a movie or play starts, you typically notice the music of the theme song, but as the show continues, your attention is drawn to whatever actions and forms are in front of your eyes. Your brain still hears the soundtrack and is influenced by it, but it’s been relegated to that etheric cauldron of don’t-need-to-pay-attention-any-more, and you stop consciously hearing it.

That melody that you don’t hear in your life energetically affects not only what appears, but the Quality of your experience. If it has discordant notes in it or if musicians in the orchestra pit are playing from a page of a previous (~ past life) production, you won’t be aware of it. It can ‘bring the house down’, but not in a good way!

Sure you can mitigate the effects of negative thoughts as you become aware of them by changing where you’ll allow them to draw your attention, but what to do about these notes playing in your lifedream’s soundtrack that you’re not aware of? How do you get everyone playing on the same score?

What to do?

If you haven’t heard of noise-cancellation technology, this picture gives a basic run-down of how it works:

If you play a frequency of an opposite wavelength (~ ‘anti-noise’) against the noise you don’t want, the effect of that unwelcome noise gets cancelled out.

Okay, great, but how to do that with your life?

Create an anti-noise – or ‘frequency cancellation’ – wave for it.

…? Okay, whatever – same question!

As I alluded to earlier, frequencies you’re no longer ‘hearing’ from past lives (among other things) affect this one. As concerns the stuff you’ve carried over that isn’t doing you any favours, you can have someone recall what’s in those past lives that might be screwing things up for you, but it won’t do just to hear a description of events (personally, I’ve always had a bit of a cheese on for past life readers who tell you ‘you were this person, you lived here, you did this, and then this happened’, without providing you the means to actually resolve anything). The issue being, unless you totally change your karmic intentions based on what they reveal (not any easy thing to do), hearing a litany of your past lives isn’t likely to do anything for you. In all likelihood, it’ll actually amplify the undesired wave.

But if you receive a reading done with the intent of creating that anti-noise wave, you can mitigate its effects. Now, wouldn’t something like that be Worth a Look?!

Because your angels and soul-guides have the Divine where-with-all to Know exactly what will uniquely work for you, having such a reading done can present you with information that will translate into the desired anti-noise score for you.

That said, it doesn’t matter whether the information you’re presented with in a reading is actually in the form of sound. After all, it is all energy. Reading an anti-noise script to yourself will cause your mind to create the energetic impulses needed to produce the desired cancellation wave. And hey, if it’s entertaining in the process, that can’t be a bad thing, now can it?

In my humble opinion, I believe your show’s due for a blockbuster run. People are already lined up, expecting to hear the sound of music!

You’re the director. Cue the orchestra; draw the curtain?

The Gratitude ‘Love Boat’: free yourself!

This post actually started out as a Soul-Medicine reading that I did for someone. There is information about a relevant past life of hers woven into it as well, though I’ve been nudged to edit it a little. The message from Spirit was a simple one, really. That said, it can be a most difficult one to understand, probably because it’s so simple. Apparently, I was to communicate information about ‘Gratitude’…

Most people attach the word ‘giving’ with ‘Gratitude’, as though it’s some form of action. Well, it isn’t. Feeling that you have to ‘work’ at giving gratitude is a concept borne out of an outworn paradigm, and it’s a drain on your power.

No one can sell you anything unless you’re convinced that you need to be or do something different. If I were the cosmetics industry for example, I’d be trying to tell you that you’re somehow not ‘enough’; the ultimate motivation being that I’m able to line my pockets. In the case of cosmetics, it’s disingenuous. And as concerns the ‘act’ of Gratitude, it’s disingenuous as well.

There’s no "Law of -" sales pitch coming here – Gratitude is something that’s entirely intrinsic to our Nature.

Our bodies, our beings, our spirit, automatically want to be in a relationship of Gratitude (actually, they already Are, but let’s go with this as a premise for now). It’s only that our minds – our egos – are not aware that this behind-the-scenes Love-Fest is just that ‘normal’ to us. In truth, all we need ‘do’ is allow for its existence.

For example, we want the tree- and plant-spirits to know how much we appreciate our ongoing symbiotic exchange. We want the star-stuff that provides us our bodies to know that we’re grateful for the embodied, interactive experience it facilitates. And (for those of us who are ‘water-talkers’ especially) we desire that water-spirits receive our signals of Blessed recognition (the communication of which they actually help make possible). Etc, etc, etc.

There is indeed a constant flow – or for all intents and purposes, a constant potentially ‘full’ flow – happening all the time. The kink in the chain, if there is one (and there is), is within our egos and our ‘conscious’ minds. I emphasize ‘conscious’ because, well, for ninety-nine percent of us, it’s a misnomer. There are indeed many strong influences actively working on thwarting our conscious energetic output by circumventing it towards erroneous thinking.

For instance, an intergenerational influence from an ancestral spirit might be influencing us towards believing we have to Fight to earn respect – in another sense, that spirit could be another past incarnation of ourselves, a soul-fragment we’ve left behind.

In the case of the woman whom this Soul-Medicine reading was initially for, one of her soul-fragments was still in chains in a past incarnation: a male prisoner, being taken by boat to be sold as a slave. His situation felt especially unfair to him because he was in love. Feeling that the longer he stayed on the boat the less were his chances of ever seeing his beloved again, he attempted an escape.

There was an aspect of the story that involved someone being knocked unconscious, but Spirit suggested it wasn’t necessary to know whether it happened to him or to someone else. In any case, the relevance of the karma that was caused to play out echoes a desired ‘escape’ from restrictions on consciousness in this woman’s present incarnation, as well as a desire for the emancipation of others, Gratitude-consciousness being one component of that. As was her escape in that life, this Divine mission of hers is also motivated by Love, in part facilitated by the sharing of her story.

As I was saying, there are many unseen influences that inhibit this flow of Gratitude. Many (but not all) can be described as being manipulative in that respect, but the truth of the matter is that they’re – to all intents and purposes – receiving Divine instruction to do so. The irony of it is that they don’t even know it; you could say that they’re unconscious in that respect. For the sake of simplicity, it’s helpful to think of them as ‘dark angels’.

Send a thought message out to whatever dark angels might be putting constraints on your own consciousness. Let them know that they’ve served their purpose, but/ and that their time here is done, and send them on their way. They’ll move on (or be moved on) to create another space for Love and Gratitude somewhere on the edges of Creation where there isn’t one in existence yet.

Get on with your natural tendency of Allowing the space they’ve created and vacated to be filled in. Allow the Body, Spirit, and Mind (/ ~Consciousness) connections to All link together, as Love intended.

Call yourself a Shaman (…?)

I don’t. At least, not any longer, and it’s about time I got away from playing that old record for myself, stop living as if my past is still here, and Be the future self I Am.

Don’t get me wrong; I highly respect shamanism as a truly profound and miraculous healing art.  After all, I’ve been a traditional shaman in more than one past life and uphold tenets familiar to the practice in my present incarnation as well.

For instance, I continue to have a deep-level awareness of and respect for how Spirit interacts and communicates to us through animal messengers (and innumerable other manifestations) in this lifedream we perceive as our physical ‘reality’. I communicate healing messages by accessing unseen realms. And through connection to Source /Spirit /God /whatever-you-want-to-call-it, I energetically facilitate multi-level healing. But ‘shaman’ doesn’t describe ‘me’ (at least, not any more).

For lack of knowing how else to identify myself, I’d gone (along) with what other people were identifying me as, based on what they perceived I was ‘doing’ in my healing mission. And it made sense, in that the success of some of the methods I employ – like soul-retrieval or mitigating the influence of unseen spirits – are often attributed to the shamanic tradition. As providence would have it, I’d taken the proverbial ‘easy’ route; one that I thought would by association provide people an accessible recognition of how I might best help them.

In truth, though, I want to make sure I’m not doing the worthy practice of shamanism, myself, or You a disservice. While I’d rather not use another label at all, I’ve been inspired to refer to myself as a "lifedream illuminator". While I believe it invokes a more apt description, it doesn’t just describe what I do; it’s what (rather than ‘who’) I Am.

So, what does it mean to be a ‘lifedream illuminator’?

Spirit is suggesting that a better first question might be ‘why’, as in ‘why would I /someone /you refer to yourself as one?’

As awareness of it in this dimension goes, part of ‘Being’ involves a letting go of or ‘moving away from’. While shamanism is indeed enjoying a revived appreciation world over, many people who’ve been taught to fear it as something (how to put it?...) ‘untoward’ will continue to be frightened of it, and miss out on the help on offer to them.

On the perceived other end of the spectrum (to all intents and purposes), persons that could benefit from healing but whose channels get scrambled by the mention of words they’re inclined to associate with religious doctrine  (like ‘Saints’, ‘Father’, ‘Jesus’, ‘Krishna’ or what-have-you) will either disregard what’s on offer to them outright, or perhaps worse yet, hold it in ‘too’ high a regard. What’s the danger in that? It’s been my experience that certain spirit-beings take advantage of ‘adoration’ energies, in much the same way as others feed off ‘negative’ or fearful ones.

In other words, I believe Spirit’s motivation here is one of ‘accessibility’; making Heart-centred healing available to persons who won’t access it through other modalities as they’re presented. In other words, why should anyone miss out? If you’d like to enlist the assistance of Loving, helper energies to bring more Light into your thoughts and your life, you’re not alone. We’re all here to help you be who you’re truly meant to be.

If you’re looking for a shaman specifically, doing a search online will bring up names like Sandra Ingerman, Michael Harner, Nicholas Breeze Wood, and a host of others highly qualified in the art. There are many I could whole-heartedly recommend.

But since you’ve found yourself here, consider that it's where you’re ‘supposed’ to be, and contact me to find out what enlisting the help of a lifedream illuminator can be of benefit to you, personally. blackfeathermedicine@gmail.com

Or if you feel an authentic call towards recognising yourself as a lifedream illuminator, consider this an invitation from the Universe to do so – you have at least as much a right to the moniker as I do. I advise though, that it’s not a trademark or to be used as a marketing gimmick any more than is the word ‘shaman’.

Big Love,

Who's Holding the Reins?

You don’t beat yourself up over things all of your own accord. You wouldn’t wrack yourself with guilt, feel anguish, confusion or remorse, despair, doubtfulness, hopelessness or (blah, blah, blah, blah) all on your own either. You have help. We all do. We have our dark angels for that. And yes, I did just say ‘our’.

Taking a larger view, the world is a bit of a mess, and they’ve helped us get it there. While it seems that they’ve robbed us of our ability to live our lives joyfully and lovingly, they’re actually helping to facilitate it.

Have you noticed that breakthrough follows breakdown, expansion follows restriction, etc? Who hasn't questioned – if there is a God – why S/He would allow ‘bad’ things to happen in the world?

Imagine for a moment being ‘The’ original creator (or call yourself an ‘aspect’ of, or ‘intrinsically connected to’, if you’re more comfortable with that). You’ve broken up aspects of your supreme, omni-Consciousness into infinite little bits of yourself and separated them (‘Not’) from awareness of each other, as a means of expressing the ever-expanding nature that is your creation: Love, of which you are part-and-parcel.

For your creation to ever-expand, you ‘pave the way’ (as it were). For all intents and purposes, you can picture this as your Creation expanding itself into the black nothingness of space. From the blackness, shapes start to differentiate. The blackness becomes individual shadows. For the fact that you are the Source of Love, you could say that these individual (darknesses) are beings that are ‘not Love’. Without them, Love doesn’t get a space to ‘Be’. With them, well, as it follows.

We’re at a point in human evolution where we’ve been under the influence of beings of ‘not Love’, but (I believe) they’ve been helping in the ever-expansion of Loving Creation. There’s no judgement necessary; you could say that they’re just a ‘first differentiation’. They make what we are – as Source – more evident.

Do you ever have those moments of unparalleled lucidity where you realise, ‘Hey, I’m not diminished by externals; I’m not a slave to whatever happens to me from the outside’? Do you notice those moments happening more and more often?

There’ve been dark angels taking advantage of our energies for thousands of years now, but as Source, it’s ‘we’ who actually hold the reins. They wouldn’t exist at all, were it not for the ever-expanding nature of the creative process that is Love. And in truth, they’re becoming aware of that.

Be kinder to yourself. Realise what you are. You’re paving the way, and you’ve got quite the machine to do it with.

Sure, it’s a lot more complicated than that, but it doesn’t have to be.

Is your life crashing, or is it that you’re flying for the first time?

There’s some kind of disconnect between the Lion you’ve got inside you and what you feel will (energetically) work in the ‘outside’ world. There’s no point in presenting yourself as a leader with anything other than something that is ‘soul-level you’. It’s obvious to me that you’ve got strength, you’ve got courage, but how to connect you to it …? Don’t worry; I won’t make this sound any more ‘new age-y’ than it has to be! gol (‘giggle’ out loud)…

Okay, well, maybe it is going to sound a little ‘woo-woo’, and right from the start, too! I was on a very brief shamanic earthwalk this morning, and while my guidance suggested that it was on behalf of a specific client I was working on, I believe it’s also relevant to ‘us’ as a whole.

In case you’re unfamiliar, to give you some idea of what a shamanic earthwalk is, there are a couple of examples of what might happen on one in this post: http://blackfeathermedicine.blogspot.pt/2011/09/octopus-medicine-do-you-realize-how-big.html

Basically, you could relate to what I mean if you ever consult oracle cards or the tarot. How is it that we can pick a deck up, randomly shuffle, and yet we manage to either pick the exact card(s) we need, or they drop right out of the deck for us?! Long story short, this apparently solid physical existence we’re experiencing is actually an energetic one that we perceive as having (material) limitations. In truth, our Überverse energetically and physically orients itself into exactly what we need for the growth of our soul /spirit. For the fact that cards get oriented in this seemingly ‘magical’ way, what’s to say that the same doesn’t happen with other elements of the lifedream we live? Answer: it does.

Moving on…

While ordinarily, shamanic earthwalks are much longer and more ‘involved’ (I have to say I’m relieved that this one wasn’t, in comparison!), there were (only) three significant signs that showed up in it. The first sign was the black flight feather of a crow.

The way I’d describe the Crow totem’s ‘main’ medicine is by saying that Crow is the keeper of Sacred Law. If you can imagine the difference, it’s related more to what Spirit /God /Source /whatever-you-want-to-call-it holds as ‘right and wrong’ than to what hu’man’kind does. In other words, because the Divine Masculine has been so dysfunctionally perverted for the majority of our known (or at least, ‘talked about’) history, the ‘laws’ our civilized societies have fashioned – some even ‘in the name of God’ – haven’t exactly reflected a ‘for the sake of Love’ agenda. In truth, they’ve been fashioned for the sake of taxing our (monetary and) energetic bodies for the benefit of other energetic beings that have been taking advantage us as a species. I’d include links to information about those beings, but that might be too large a scope for this post. I will say, though, that in psychic illustrations I do for people, they sometimes show up as ‘Sharks’, I believe that’s because they (used to) think of themselves as being at the top of the energetic food chain.

That said, their influence has made it much harder to get to our own individual, soul-level Truths. After all, we’re a species geared for acceptance and approval, and how do you gain that approval if you’re not involved in playing the same game the rest of society has been unconsciously coerced into playing?

For the fact that this was a ‘dropped’ flight feather, it’s a sign that the reign of these other energetic beings is over, or at the very least, coming to its end. The ‘problem’ now is, though, what to do with our new feathers, this newfound freedom that we have? It’s not like we’re exactly ‘used’ to it, after all. Part of what’s been happening as these beings are leaving is the collapse of our financial systems. For the fact that we’ve based our ways of living (and gaining approval, among other things) on that, how to come to terms with that, and what potentials are available to us /you now?

The second sign that presented was stuck upright in the gravel road I was walking on. Firstly, features of the road itself are significant. From a *dream dictionary I sometimes reference, gravel is “…a sign to walk cautiously and take each step mindfully. You may be feeling as if you are on unsteady ground”. On a more positive note, though, gravel is also road-building material. To all intents and purposes, that’s what’s happening here – while it might appear there’s destruction taking place in your life, consider that a new path is here being ‘made’ for you. A lot could still be said about the fact that this was an old road that’d once been used to extract forest resources, but hey, I’d be here all day if I got started on that as well!

But I haven’t quite gotten to that second sign I mentioned yet, have I? I noticed a little, very black shape sticking up on its end out of the road just ahead of us. Before I got up to it, I’d thought it was a piece of flint. Actually, the word ‘schist’ came readily to mind. Unfortunately, I don’t remember my way-back-when college geology course well enough to consider the symbolism! Ha! I do know that it’s a metamorphic rock, though, which would indicate something formed under a lot of pressure. Thinking about it as flint though (which as I said it wasn’t, but I’ll get to that), would make it a ‘point of ignition’, so to speak (~ a description of what’s happening in our lives at the present time). What it actually was was a piece of rubber, symbolizing “…[your willingness to] allow emotional upsets to bounce right off you. Perhaps this dream is showing you that you will bounce back quickly from an upset and become your buoyant and flexible [self?, or ‘new’ self]”. Don’t worry, as I say, it was not a metamorphic rock, meaning that while it can sometimes feel as though we’re stuck in a certain spot or a moment in time forever, the prophecy here is: your situation won’t take ‘geological’ time to change!

I tried consulting my  guidance to further clarify what this second sign of the piece of rubber ‘means’, and was presented with a message to convey about the importance of NOT compromising yourself, regardless of how confusing things might appear in your lifedream at the moment. As when you set out on a journey from any new crossroads, there’s bound to be a moment of confusion. Do you go back the way you came, because that’s a way you ‘know’? Standing where you are now, the first next best thing to do is to plainly acknowledge that you’re confused, and ask yourself a couple of questions. Try this one on, for example: “What is it you’d be trying to gain by ignoring your own personal truth?” Or put another way, “What would you choose as your own path, were you not worried about anyone else’s approval or ‘influence’?” Once you’ve got that sussed, take a step forward.

The third sign was just a very short distance down the road from there (which can be read as: a very short distance down the road from ‘here’). There was a little, tattered piece of blue nylon ‘netting’ protruding out of the road.

So, what the heck does that mean? Blue signs often appear on shamanic earthwalks that I undertake. I can be in the middle of some no-man’s land, and still be pretty much guaranteed to happen across a piece of azure or cobalt or aquamarine something. It’s incredibly fitting, in the fact that while the signs that present can seem incredibly obscure from the outset, they provide – as the colour symbolizes – “…clarity, peacefulness and truth” (…and I’ll remind you that I said it’s just ‘a short ways down the road’, another confirmation of change coming quickly).

The fact that the object was a net references the energetic net that’s been cast over us for so long by this alien influence (yes, I did say ‘alien’ influence). For the fact that this net is indeed in ‘tatters’, though, we’re coming to realise that we can be in more conscious control of our own energetic capabilities. That’s not to say that we fully know it or what to do with them, having gotten used to being ‘flightless’ for as long as we have been. Rather than being competitive or individualistic now, we /you have an opportunity and the freedom to be ‘participatory’ instead, to participate in your own life, to participate in a Universe which you could not even imagine being better.

Earlier in the walk, I’d pulled on the second sign – the piece of rubber that I’d thought was rock – and it hadn’t come out of the ground. For the fact that 99% of the little square was sticking out of the road, it didn’t seem to make any sense at all that I was unable to dislodge it. On the return trip, though, I’d tried it again and it just came right out! Is it any surprise that the sword ‘Excalibur’ comes to mind?

So, what’s the ‘opportunity’ for you now? It’s to live without reacting to your life in an ‘established’ way, to engage with the character that is You underneath that and act spontaneously. Open your Heart to your questions, and respond from it as well. Live your life as a mystery to be lived; not as a business to be managed.

Be gentle with yourself, and recognize your own authenticity. I can wholeheartedly say (from the benefit of personal experience), there’s no better choice of direction to take than the one that’s essential-ly yours!
