"RITUALS IN SACRED STONE", to be published by the end of March.
It's been a some time since I wrote an entry. I've been busy with the publishing process of the book. (And Christmas and my birthday.)
It is now ready for the first printing, and I'm feeling like a squirrel running up and down trees. I'm of course excited about this development, but I'm also scared to death. The research and the writing of this work has all been a very private process. Now it's all becoming public. I'm birthing a baby. I'm on the outward journey after an inward one, where I've retreated to my little room and dived into my story, walking with my characters and feeling their emotions through this dramatic story. It's been a heartwrenching experience. Mary Magdalene's life was filled with danger and heavy decisions. She was burdened with her heritage and her knowlegde. They led her to make crucial choices at difficult crossing points leading her to secretly carry a lot of information she would rather not be privelieged to have.
I've always felt that the story of the head of John the Baptist was missing some crucial elements. Young Salome wouldn't have the desire for a man's execution. There is more to the story. In one version, she consults her mother, before she presents her wish. I looked up her mother, and found that her name was Herodias, the widow of Herod Philip, who upon her husbands death was forced to marry his brother, Herod Antipas. Now the plot thickens. I also found that John the Baptist had protested against the behavior of Antipas, who had divorced his previous wife to marry Herodias, and was trying to get into the council at the Temple of Jerusalem. According to the Jews, divorce was not allowed, and only Rabbis could be on the council. What was Antipas trying to do, being a Roman with no Jewish connections? Now we have a political hornets nest which the good Baptizer put his religious nose right into.
As I researched Herodias, I found that she was educated at Ephesus, famous for it's oracle, and that she had a following of admirers. Now we have a much more interesting set up for the story.
The more I looked into the mystery schools in function at their time, I found that they all respected each other and students traveled between the different temples to learn the different traditions. The druids had their universities, the Egyptian temples had their temple schools, and the exchange of information was welcomed.
There was a different focus for the religious centers. They weren't focused on worshiping the Gods. They were working with the Gods, in the focus of the temple in questions. They were all presenting different paths to relate to the unseen forces functioning between us, whether you used them for healing, to communicate with God or to take the journey of Osiris. All the different ways were valid and seen as different paths to God.
And today we are fighting over which way to worship God, to the point of disagreeing on which hymn to sing.
It is very likely that Mary Magdalene was a highly educated priestess of rank in several temples. There were things happening around Christ which shows that they worked across many traditions and used elements from the Egyptian Journey of Osiris, the healing thechnique from the Therapautae group, the wisdom of the Nazareeans and the Essenes, and older wisdom of the Torah.
I found that the temple of Serabit on top of Sinai knew how to make monoatomic gold and how to work with it. It could be ingested to produce enlightenment from within, or it could be used as an advanced architectural technology to build pyramids.
I was now introduced a world very different than our own, and very very different than the passive church going of our time which passes as relationships to God. To these people, God was a concept that lived inside you. It was a force you learned to work with. The world behind the veils was somewhere you could learn to visit and come back from.
Did Herodias know how to create an oracle? Was the head of John the Baptist presented at the birthday party of Antipas not the product of a brutal and gory exectution, but a product of a planned operation creating an oracular head which could be woken up by an educated priestess from Ephesus? And why did Herodias want it? Or did she want it back? What happened to it afterwards? And why do we have two places, one in Spain and one in Turkey, that claim to have the head of John the Baptist on display?
On my pilgrimage through France finding the footsteps of Mary Magdalene in the Languedoc and Provence, I visited a church in a mountain town between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille. This cathedral was dedicated to the Holy Balm, and I wondered what significance this herbal product could have. In their crypt they had a head on display. They claimed it was the skull of Mary Magdalene.
I was full of questions as I descended the stairs. Did someone desecrate her grave? Did they dig her up at some point and give a bone to various different churches that qualified? I actually didn't run across any other relic of her body in my travels. So why was this head saved, prepared and put on display? It was a skull with some skin still on it and some hair on one side. Was it prepared as an oracle by an expert priestess from Ephesus?
The book is coming out by the end of March. See what I found out over eight years of research and pilgrimage, both in interesting landscapes and in my own inner worlds. "Rituals in Sacred Stone" became a controversial interpretation of one of the most mysterious and compelling women in history; wife, priestess and queen, Mary Magdalene.

"RITUALS IN SACRED STONE"
This is the title of my book which is in process with Balboa Press. It will be out December/January, I am of course hoping for a Christmas launch.
Balboa is promising that it will be available on Amazon, offered to "Barnes and Noble" and numerous other bookstores. We will create a press release and I hope to make some waves with this.
Mary Magdalene's immense historical importance has been suppressed and ignored for more than a thousand years. It is time to separate the Biblical Jesus, the historical Jesus and the persona surrounded by dogmas by the Catholic church. They really are three very different entities and people have very different relationships with them.
Many are familiar with the Biblical Jesus and the stories in the New Testament. They are somewhat repeated four times, and are short with relatively little additional information about his life. The saviour presented by the Catholic Church is floating in a sea of concepts connected to symbols that have attached themselves to peoples DNA through the centuries of systematic insistence on their importance. Most of them are constructs to install a true fear of stepping outside the accepted realm of the church. It has been extraordinarily effective in creating good sheep instead of free thinking people encouraged to continue their own inquiry.
The historical Jesus is starting to take shape as he is uncovered from historical dust and intentional coverups. Many great authors have done some remarkable research and written great academic books that give a vivid picture of his time and culture. We are fleshing out the story, making Jesus a person who lived a life on Earth and changed history.
As we are finding the man who's teachings shaped Western civilization we are insisting on discovering more of his human side. Afterall, he lived a life as a human among other human beings, in a culture that was bustling with political strife, bombarded with influences from all the different nations within the Roman empire and with his own struggles to define his role in a religious world in turmoil. What makes me stand in awe at this process we are tumbling our way through, as we separate what is belief and what is more likely historically true, we are somehow managing to allow his humanity and his divinity to coexist. Yes, he was human in his life among us, but he was also extremely conscious of his divine side and in close connection with God, angels and the unseen forces that guide our lives.
And as we are defining Jesus as both human and divine, we are finding our own divinity. We are also both human and divine. This is becoming a more conscious thought among us and expanding our view of ourselves. And like Jesus said; we can achieve the same state of consciousness as him. We might still have to recognize our shortcomings and in all humility take an inventory of ourselves, and then set out to do some serious inner work. But by finding His human side, we are finding our own divine spark.
The greeting of Namaste is such a beautiful way of recognizing our fellow citizens of this planet. The true meaning of the greeting is; "The spark of God within me recognizes the spark of God within you." If we all could greet eachother with this in mind, there would be PEACE on earth.

New historical novel; "Rituals in Sacred Stone".
I've taken a big step forward. I'm going to publish her book. This is a manuscript I've had as a work in progress for seven years. I've wanted to give birth to this baby, but haven't been able to, haven't had the urge, haven't wanted to part with her, haven't felt she or I was ready.
Well, all that has changed. The time is right. This story needs to be out among people.
I'm working with Balboa Press, part of Hay House, to publish my historical novel "Rituals in Sacres Stone". Hopefully it will be out by Christmas. This is the story of the life of Mary Magdalene interpreted after I submerged myself in the world of Egypt, Judea and Gallia 2000 years ago. I started by studying church history from I was very young, looking for scriptures outside of the Bible. It took many decades before more useful information became available. Over the last twenty years or so, a lot of great research has been published. Notable authors like Henry Lincoln, Laurence Gardner, Graham Hancock, William Henry, Philip Gardiner, Elaine Pagels and Karen King have done academic research that caught the public attention and couldn't be ignored. There is now a body of material about Jesus as an historical figure that is accepted next to the Jesus presented by the church.
I've read everything I could get my hands on that had even the remotes connection to Mary Magdalene and her time. I've studied the most obscure hypothesis and the most grounded statements about the Roman Empire. Along with that, I've measured what I've learned with my own physical experiences. I learned to meditate at the age of nineteen which changed my life and stayed with me as a daily focus. Coming from a country with a small population and a lot of forests and fjords, my connection with nature was developed at an early age. Having given birth to four children made me very aware of the functions of my own female body. Studying human self discovery brought me to the conclusion that enlightenment is a very physical job. Studying alchemy taught me how.
With this packaged background, I went to France to follow her footsteps. I walked the footpaths along some mountains, I found castles, cathedrals and grottos that claimed a connection with Mary Magdalene. In Provence I had a profound experience in a crypt which displayed her skull.
Only then could I write her story.
My late friend Richard claimed that this was channeled material when he edited the book. I'm honored to be chosen to reveal her story the way it was presented to me.
This is a controversial interpretation. There are severed heads featured as important characters. John the Baptists fate gets a new angle. There is a background story to the head the Temple Knights are referring to. Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and had a deep understanding of the physical union between husband and wife. There were rituals performed that anchored their profound knowledge and high frequency in the sacred stones of the temple of Jerusalem. There are stones in France still vibrating her song.
"Rituals in Sacred Stones" is a big book about a big story featuring a powerful woman history has done it's best to bury under the stone floors of old cathedrals. But old stones don't forget. They are whispering that there is so much more to know, as historical facts, as intuitive visions and in the very juices of your own body.
Our DNA vibrates all of human history. The water we drink has circled through other bodies, other lifetimes, other cities in other countries in another era of human civilization. Every one of us vibrate the story of everybody else. There is so much knowledge to be found inside the cells that keep us alive every day. The same sun observes our evolution all the way back to green soup that carried all possibilities.

Viking lore.
I have been studying the viking culture for years, after all I was born in Norway and grew up with all the magnificent things they left behind. The celtic snake pattern is recognized as a common thread between the centers of the viking world. Many of the central figures of Norse Mythology is showing up in popular culture in our time. In fact, so many have appeared to me recently, it is time to take notice.
I am finding that the powers that be, the unseen world that surrounds us, are superbusy getting the human population and the earth itself ready for the big event of 2012. As far as I understand, we are talking about a frequency change, not the end of the world, but maybe the end of the world as we know it. We are heading for an alignment with the Galactic center, our sun and a bunch of planets. This will result in a strong field of a new frequency eminating through our known galaxy. It will be like getting used to a new sound which reverberates through your body. I feel like we're going to experience something like the radical change in the music scene in the 50's, when the parents truly couldn't stand the sound of Rock'n'Roll nor the movements of Elvis. Nevertheless, the young got it, and the world has never been the same since.
Well, we're all like the parents who didn't get it and had no framework to understand it from. So we're being helped, ever so gently, by our unseen winged friends.
Back to the Vikings. Do any remember the story about the bridge BiFrost? In Norwegian, often called Bivrost. It was guarded by Heimdall. If you saw the movie "THOR", you might remember the rainbow golden bridge guarded by a powerful golden armed warrior. According to Viking lore, Norse mythology, the bridge was dismantled and the gods were separated from the humans at some point. In "Thor" it is caused by him misbehaving, and the direct connection between gods and humans is broken.
I have it from good authority that the Bifrost bridge has been reestablished. It started in the very north of Norway, where Norway and Finland meet, in Finnmark the land of the laplanders, the country of the Sami. The Sami population has many similarities to the Native Americans here. And apparently, it is the indigenous people that has kept these connections intact and the bridge is now open in most areas of the world. There is again direct access between humans and the Gods.
To make this work, we have needed some sounds to be emitted to prepare us for the big soundwave at the end of the year. The creatures responsible for the sounds are the dragons. Now find all you know about Chinese New Year dragons, Puff the magic one, MidtgarsOrmen, Oroborus, snake power in the earth, leylines, Merlin's red and white dragons guarding the hill, the green dragon slain by St.George, etc etc. These beautiful powerbeasts have been part of our global culture for quite some time. Wheather you think they ever existed is beyond this discussion. They have existed as an archetype for millennia. Also, if you go for the existence of powerlines in the earth, Feng Shui, or have felt the power in your body at old sites, there is no doubt that dragons as a magnetic field exist.
It is important at this point that we acknowledge this. It is important that we are willing to communicate with these beings. Whether you feel attracted to dragons in the earth, dragons in mountains, dragons flying in the air, pet dragons, or have the ability to stand in one spot and call the powers of the earth up and send it through your body to connect with the Galactic Center, is up to you. It is all real, it's all good, and it all helps.
I have started to understand the power of imagination and intention. Anything you can imagine and put intention behind achieves it's own form of reality. And we create these intentional etheral life forms together with our unseen helpers. So why not help them and ourselves along a little bit. Befriend a dragon. Create a power rock. Infuse it with your intentions for the changes we are all going through.
Magic occurs when you take a piece of reality, a rock works well, send into it a thought with a strong intention, and then do something physical with it; bless it, breath on it, pour your favorite wine over it, and then place it in a special spot. It works the same way a computerchip can hold information, encoded in the matter itself.
Is this witchcraft? (I probably would have had a lively fire around my body by now, if this was 100 years ago.) Then watch your language, observe what you say throughout the day, and find how many times you send out an intention with words, a spell if you will, whether you intended it or not. Take responsibility for your own thoughts. This is like cleaning up the airwaves. Yes, I know we are surrounded with waves of all sorts, but at least we can make sure that the ones created by humans are clean. Besides, a machine cannot put intention behind their vibration. Only humans can do that, and so far we have intended a whole lot of not-so-well-thought-out thoughts.
Was this what Jesus and Mary Magdalene taught their students? Love thy neighbor and watch out what spells you cast?
The Rainbow bridge is open. How does your color combination look? All the angels can see you now. All the angels can feel your sounds. Is the patchwork of you pleasing to look at? A few more I love and I like, even if it is honestly icecream, would brighten it up a bit. How is the symphony of you? How does it sound to yourself? How well do you vibe with everybody around you?
So did the vikings have something to teach us? Are we reliving some part of history of our distant past? It seems like all the indigenous cultures have a message for us. It is all spoken through their own mythology. What does the Condor and the Eagle mean to you? Why is it important that they unite? Look at all the dragon lore that is surrounding us today compared to some few years ago. Do they have something to tell us? How to tame your Dragon was a beautiful film. Do you remember the wise old tree in Avatar? It is time to plug in your ponytail in Yggdrasil, the world tree.
There is a lot plug into. The angel world, the dragons of the earth and sea, the wise old tree at the center of the material world. It is time to learn about the many unseen worlds that surround us. They are trying their best to teach us as they descend down Bifrost, the Rainbow bridge, with welcoming hands to meet us.

Love is a force to be reckoned with.
The message of Jesus and Mary Magdalene was love. Jesus introduced the new age of the Pisces with a new logo; Love is a force in the universe. It put the previous belief system on its head. Social justice was being replaced with compassion, a radical view in his time.
It is still a radical view. We're still practicing the importance of social justice, even to the point of invading another sovereign country or suing for minor offences. Jesus taught forgiveness and inclusivity, but it seems like the people who announce their religious fervor the strongest are the least forgiving or inclusive. I'll let that be a case for their own conscience to consider.
The church has over time taught us that being meak and humble was a sign of love, only to use it to create good sheep for their flocks who were easier to control. Physical love was called sin to create an over reaching guilt over a natural need for closeness. This was a very effective way of taking the teachings of Christ, turning them upside down and establish the hegemony of the church.
Having studied the Cathars, the Gnostics and the early church, I've found that the true teachings of Christ and his main disciple who continued teaching after he left us, Mary Magdalene, taught love from a different perspective. They taught purity of body, mind and spirit, so that the love you sent out would be more powerful. They taught that physical love between husband and wife in the bridal chamber led to union with God. (Now, love is love, and husband and wife refers to male and female forces, which are present in any combination of lovers). They found that love sent out as a loving field would diffuse a conflict, would provide protection, would create a field of inclusion in a community.
We can talk about romantic love, forgiving love that turns the other cheek, paralyzing humility taught as love, parental love, love between friends, etc. All these topics deserve their own chapter. What Jesus talked about was different.
Together they taught the idea of Love as a forcefield in the Universe. Love is a forcefield we can tap into and send through ourselves and direct towards a situation. It does require humility, a loss of ego, and pure intentions, but once you get the mechanics, it's a force with great power.
Love becomes less personalized. You don't have to love the person or the situation, justifying why you love them, or even like them. You generate a field of love, because anything in creation is made of Gods love, and you need to infuse the situation with more of it. If you have a conflicted situation, it is because love has been removed from it, so to calm it down, you reintroduce it.
This is an active use of the force of love. It is not like romantic love or parental love, which acts upon you, or love in response to kindness. This is a way of establishing yourself in the field of love, knowing how it works and then utilizing it as forcefield in your surroundings.
I'd like to give you an example. I was standing at a trainstation in Chicago at 2am. There was a group of young men waiting for a train as well, and I positioned myself some distance from them. I am generally not afraid of people, but I have great respect for the effect of group mentality, so I looked in a different direction and found a more stable footing in my boots. One of the men came towards me and said something. He was so dark he almost disappeared in the night sky. His face told me he hadn't met much kindness in his life. I thought that this could turn into a not so good situation. What could I do? I smiled my most polite and welcoming smile as I turned towards him, still very much on the alert. He was perplexed and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?" This was my chance. I assembled all the love I could attract from my surroundings and showered him with it, as I said slowly and in my most reassuring and gentle voice, "No, I'm not afraid of you." I stood there, smiling and holding the lovefield, as I watched the other young men observe the situation. The young man in front of me was bewildered for a moment. Then he drank in the lovefield like a thirsty camel who had been in the desert for too long.
The train arrived. He sat down next to me and leaned his head on my shoulder. During the ride I managed to switch sides with him, so I sat on the aisle side. I waited until my stop, and left quickly to catch my corresponding train. On the next train, another passenger who had seen the entire passage of events said to me, "It was a brave thing you did there." I noticed that a couple of other men on board seemed to have observed what was going on as well. They were ready to intervene to prevent anything from happening, to protect the young man from doing something stupid and to protect me from a situation I possibly could not handle. I felt that I had stepped into a protection field I had no idea existed. All because I decided to respond with love instead of fear. And to my surprise, I discovered how powerful, inclusive and protective it was.
This entry is an introduction to a wide topic. In the following blog entries we will discuss how to infuse yourself in the existing field of love of creation, the laws of physics that govern this work and how to use human intent and imagination to wield the force.
It is still a radical view. We're still practicing the importance of social justice, even to the point of invading another sovereign country or suing for minor offences. Jesus taught forgiveness and inclusivity, but it seems like the people who announce their religious fervor the strongest are the least forgiving or inclusive. I'll let that be a case for their own conscience to consider.
The church has over time taught us that being meak and humble was a sign of love, only to use it to create good sheep for their flocks who were easier to control. Physical love was called sin to create an over reaching guilt over a natural need for closeness. This was a very effective way of taking the teachings of Christ, turning them upside down and establish the hegemony of the church.
Having studied the Cathars, the Gnostics and the early church, I've found that the true teachings of Christ and his main disciple who continued teaching after he left us, Mary Magdalene, taught love from a different perspective. They taught purity of body, mind and spirit, so that the love you sent out would be more powerful. They taught that physical love between husband and wife in the bridal chamber led to union with God. (Now, love is love, and husband and wife refers to male and female forces, which are present in any combination of lovers). They found that love sent out as a loving field would diffuse a conflict, would provide protection, would create a field of inclusion in a community.
We can talk about romantic love, forgiving love that turns the other cheek, paralyzing humility taught as love, parental love, love between friends, etc. All these topics deserve their own chapter. What Jesus talked about was different.
Together they taught the idea of Love as a forcefield in the Universe. Love is a forcefield we can tap into and send through ourselves and direct towards a situation. It does require humility, a loss of ego, and pure intentions, but once you get the mechanics, it's a force with great power.
Love becomes less personalized. You don't have to love the person or the situation, justifying why you love them, or even like them. You generate a field of love, because anything in creation is made of Gods love, and you need to infuse the situation with more of it. If you have a conflicted situation, it is because love has been removed from it, so to calm it down, you reintroduce it.
This is an active use of the force of love. It is not like romantic love or parental love, which acts upon you, or love in response to kindness. This is a way of establishing yourself in the field of love, knowing how it works and then utilizing it as forcefield in your surroundings.
I'd like to give you an example. I was standing at a trainstation in Chicago at 2am. There was a group of young men waiting for a train as well, and I positioned myself some distance from them. I am generally not afraid of people, but I have great respect for the effect of group mentality, so I looked in a different direction and found a more stable footing in my boots. One of the men came towards me and said something. He was so dark he almost disappeared in the night sky. His face told me he hadn't met much kindness in his life. I thought that this could turn into a not so good situation. What could I do? I smiled my most polite and welcoming smile as I turned towards him, still very much on the alert. He was perplexed and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?" This was my chance. I assembled all the love I could attract from my surroundings and showered him with it, as I said slowly and in my most reassuring and gentle voice, "No, I'm not afraid of you." I stood there, smiling and holding the lovefield, as I watched the other young men observe the situation. The young man in front of me was bewildered for a moment. Then he drank in the lovefield like a thirsty camel who had been in the desert for too long.
The train arrived. He sat down next to me and leaned his head on my shoulder. During the ride I managed to switch sides with him, so I sat on the aisle side. I waited until my stop, and left quickly to catch my corresponding train.

New focus.
I'm back from the Alchemy conference in L.A. with new inspiration. I realize that I'm not ignorant in these matters. I've lived a long time, I've experienced a lot and all this time I've tried to create my own framework of reference to understand my own process.
I've listened to a lot of good people with a lot to teach. Kathleen McGowan, the author, was there, showing me her parallell path to my own, with a lot more success to show for herself, which I can admire, or be envious of, according to which route I want to take. Dennis Hauck is always inspiring with his long and extencive personal dive in all subjects of Alchemy, from the mathematical theories, to the lab, to our spiritual progress. William Henry showed us how to build our own light body. Sonia Barrett gave us her crystal clear insight in the mechanics of evolution without any New Age Lite statements. She is profoundly honest and says unless you're willing to go into new places that are uncomfortable and difficult and willing to put your world view upside down, you're really just at your own favorite spa talking bumpersticker statements. Which I feel a lot of people are, including myself from time to time. Granted, there are things we need to heal, and for some that means finally finding some comfort after a harsh life. For some that means finding the last statements that are "in" and restate them in the right context.
To analyze my own belief system and challenge my own limitations, that's a challenge that requires some real thinking. I'm finding where I've been lazy, complacent, and seeking comfort because anything else have scared me. It's time to stop being scared.
Well, to pick up Gales challenge, what do I know? Why do I feel this pressure that it's time? Time for what? I feel like the white rabbit with the big watch in his hand who knows perfectly well that he's late, late for an important date. Oh, where's my favorite spa, I need an oilmassage. No? I am scheduled for a trip down the rabbit hole into unknown territory.
I watched Kathleen McGowan describe her traveling in France in the same places I've been, drawing the same conclusions. I watched her give a brilliant presentation of her work, of her dedication to Mary Magdalene and promoting her message. I listened to her describe her life, traveling, writing, giving lectures, and I almost cried. This is the life I wanted to live, the message I wanted to give. Where did I leave it off? Where did I lose track of my own mission? What happened along the way where I got distracted, got lazy, didn't go further, didn't attract the attention that I needed?
There aren't any answers to this. She deserves everything she has accomplished. She has worked hard, is an excellent writer and has excited her audience with new material that brings the message forward. Kudos to good work.
My work is different.
I have decided to start a mystery school. My friend Richard, who died in May, told me that I'm not a novelist, I'm a teacher. A young man at the Burning Man Festival I attended in 2008 told me the same thing. I've been trying to ignore the message I got. I guess it's time.
I want to teach what I know, what I've learned over a good long lifetime, from my studies, from my experience, from my children, from my granddaughters. But most of all from my guides. I've been in close contact with them for a long time. And they have gently told me the same thing.
In 1994 I was given a challenge. I was told that my work was to balance the relationship between the male and female forces of the planet. Everything I've done since then has been in preparation for taking on this work. Everything I've done has been doing this work.
I've studied it, I've experienced it at work, I've been in deep profound connection with it, I've learned what powers I'm dealing with and whatever I've done, Mary Magdalene has been close by watching over the process.
Now it's time to start teaching others.
The school will be called Mary Magdalene's Message. This blog will be the forum to start the school. I will available over a new email which I have established for this specific purpose. You will only recieve an email from me if you write to me on this email address first and request to be included on the mailing list. It will not be shared.

The previous entries on this blog will stay here. They show some of my own progress along the way, some of the signposts where realizations have occured.
The first lesson will be:
"Love is a force to be reckoned with".
It will appear here in this forum by Friday.

I attended a webinar Sunday which gave me an enormous energy down load.
At first I didn't even sense the energy field we were working with and Simeon's information was filling out things I was familiar with. This field was extremely subtle, but when I invited it into my body, it filled me with a gentle, loving, healing smoke.
I am still trying to understand the mechanics of how this works.
It seems like the "gods" need to anchor their vibration into physical matter. They can only do this with humans, since we are the connection point between spirit and matter. And they can only go through us if we volunteer for the process.
The energy field that they need to anchor is hard for them to explain in terms that we would understand. They try their best, but if they told us how powerful and important this actually is, we would be afraid and run and hide. So they treat us like scared lion cubs, who have all the potential power of a full grown lion, but who have no idea of who they are.
So I am present through all the initiatory time where I feel as if I'm being calibrated to recieve the full load of what comes later. What we talk about is good, but the most important thing is that we are present and open to being informed.
When we open for meditation, and I freely invite the "gods" to use my vehicle, I feel their field flow through me from my head to the bottom of my spine. They connect with the spark of God I carry inside and let the new vibration spread through my electronic system, my meridians, my chacras and my tissues, bones and muscles. I feel their love for me connect with my love for creation and expand to vibrate in each cell of my body. Light is permeating through my whole system.
After the meditation, download, is over, I need to rest. This time I slept for two hours. I wake up, still seeing light behind my eyelids and shadows of light in the room.
Today I still feel drunk on spirit. I use the techniques I have for grounding energies, and wonder if I really want to. This state of consciousness is very pleasant, as long as you don't have anything you need to do that day. Daily life takes on as much importance as moving stones from here to there and back again. What is important is to keep this state of consciousness long enough for it to affect my environment, my neighborhood, my city. I tell myself this as I connect with Gaia at the center of the earth with a light beam and feel her create a cone shaped field aimed back at me. Light through stone. Spirit through matter. Golden lightfilled bodies vibrating love.
