Voice of the White Lodge

A long time ago all races were known to form a cross where all people were one.  All differences were respected, revered. We are all one family here.  Attempts to divide out one group from another happen all the time, but we are all of one blood with many currents with that blood. Let us revere those currents but also not get hung up on the differences.  For surely, those differences we have at some time worn.

Amongst the People of this land, it has been long known that the earth moves through cycles.  This is why the circle has been so important a symbol.  Instead of seeing a beginning and end, sort of like how a pencil has a beginning and an end, if we see life as a circle, then endings become beginnings, and beginnings share something with endings.  These points on a circle become these transitional points were we move upward through the circle of life which is itself like a spiral....round and round we go and upwards we travel as we grow and learn and become.  We all have these cycles in our bodies, our spirits and minds.  The earth has her cycles too.  I was told that there was going to be an event here on this earth a very long time ago.  It was funny how it was given to me, but it was a message from a past life to a future one.  I literally peered down through time in a kind of portal that took me to a past life event where I was sitting atop a mountain doing something called "crying for a vision."  This was what many different native groups did to seek guidance in their lives. They sought the guidance within that place where the creator, the Great Mystery, emerges in the self.  Often, this means a kind of disassociated state, like a trance.  Some would fast and drum and pray.  Some would dig pits to sit in to act like a cradle but also a way to deprive the senses of feedback.  This often would result in visions and guidance from the spirit world. 

I was shown by beings in a large storm that the world would be going through a cleansing, a shift in its energy.  It has taken me a long time to reach a place where I have been able to better understand this experience, this vision which was also a memory from the past.  The Thunder Beings revealled something not just about the world, but also about myself.  It has been a very long-lived puzzle, but has pointed to what is there for me to realize within myself.  It was itself a hidden gift that I could not see until now...and like buds on a tree that have been long silent and seemingly dead, the leaves begin to grow and branch out....

Our world is going through a change.  The Native people have spoken of this as a time of cleansing.  Others, like the Hopi, speak of a shift from one world to another.  There are stories of the earth actually moving in its orbit to be closer to the sun.  Further, the Hopi have explained that this is what has been happening for a very long time....There are numerous stories that seek to conceptualize this change which will happen with Mother Earth.  What needs I think to be understood is that as the earth goes through changes, so do you.  And in the same way, your own change further pushes her change.  We are a part of this.  By choosing joy instead of fear, we can be a part of a more vibrant energy that we are being steered towards by forces much stronger than we.

It is time to forgive yourself for seeking something that you were never able to find.  Its time to let that past go and seek a new future.  This new future will have you finding the love that is in the universe inside of you.  When you let go all the things that tie you to a love THROUGH another, you will best be able to become invested in this inner love.  This love will help heal you of the parts that tell you that you need a love from another.  By doing this, you can shed generations of pain and hurt that have become a part of you.  You will be shedding something that the earth is shedding.  This is perfect, for as the teaching comes to me to pass on to you the result is something truly remarkable.

In a way that we cannot quite understand right now through our lenses of hurt and pain, and fear, we are getting ready to slough off an old cocoon.  See, the thing is, the reason why so many are waking up is because the earth herself is waking up.  She is shedding all of this old stuff.  She is having to shed this stuff that we have ALL helped to create, and now she is going through a very real physical change.  The effect is also energetic.  Its at all levels that she is doing this. The way through this healing is with the alchemical action that is within each person for healing.  By bringing the masculine and feminine within to a unity, there is healing.  The masculine within can bear something that the feminine needs....in order to "conceive" of and understand.

In the old vision atop that hill, the Thunder Bird cleansed the earth of a dark cloud that hung around it, a kind of stain that was cleared.  The masculine brings a pure vibration of electrical energy that strikes to the very center of the earth and renews it, creating the means for it to slough off the old veils of conception.  When we can reach that place where we can feel the love within us that is the universe, we do not need to create such powerfully negative karmas in our lives that can be so hard to deal with.  Life will not be perfect because we are all learning.  Being compassionate and careful for all life here is a grace.  We are all learning to throw off this veil.  Some know this, while others are dreaming it.  It comes closer and closer to us each day.  There is a lot of talk about 2012, but this is merely the end of a long-cycle event.  We are all here for a reason, and we need not fret over what that all means.  The more you can find the peace within, the more you will understand what this time is all about.

By allowing old karmas to fall like old blankets, we will be more vulnerable, more naked than ever, but also no longer shackled by shame.  This is important.  We will find in our awakening that the earth will appear different.  And there is a reason for this.....

Earth is waking up.  She is pregnant.  She is going to give birth to a new consciousness.  It is what you are becoming inside.  We are all now swept by the current of this to greater and lesser degrees.  Some are here to witness.  Some are here to participate.  We all play parts.  We are all related.  We are all one big family.  This wont be merely a time of rainbows and light.  People will need to stand up for what they know is right, and to hold those powers that be responsible for coming along with them in this new journey.  The more we can help our brothers and sisters in government to understand that we are no longer fearful but ready for this leap, the less they will feel the need to hold onto the old ways as much. There is a great deal of fear being sown still, and we each should seek to heal that hurt and fear when we can. 

Every voice is important.  Each race is important.  Each tree and squirrel and bug and plant is important.  We will be able to see things in a very different way, and it is happening NOW.  There is a new earth waiting to be birthed.  The voices of each race, crossed, together, are more important now than ever.  The voices of the Yellow Lodge in the East, the Red Lodge in the South, the Black Lodge in the West, and the White Lode in the North.  We are all one family.  We are all one earth. 

The yellow lodge are those people who are the Asian races, the black lodge are those dark races from Africa, the red races are those who were native to North America, and the white were those races who were white. It has long been known that there were four of these lodges just as there are four directions.  It makes up the totality of our experience as a species. For a long time, the White Lodge has sat empty. It was said that the White Lodge would draw back its children into a cooperative hoop of being as all peoples would begin to learn to live at peace with the earth.

A New Earth


As I drove from my home in the blue ridge mountains into an area called the Piedmont, I was given a view of just how incredible this world can be.  The rolling hills of the blue ridge gave way to a very different kind of landscape, one which I knew for years before moving back to the gentle mountains of my home.  As I drove on thoughts moved through me as my drive became like a moving meditation.  Powered by gnosis, the brilliance of awakening showered me with questions and considerations about the nature of the world, of reality, and how we are able to see what is around us.

The big question was over what world we live in.  Is it really as solid as it all seems, or is it like some suggest, an illusion?  A dream within the divine?  As I thought about the old notion of how we see and respond to things, I was reminded that some very much see the world in a very matter of fact way.  Like a large canvas, we have seen what others have seen for aeons.  In the picture I snapped as the day was waning over the first big ridge of the Blue Ridge on my return to them, there is not a person to be seen, or building.  Was this the same sight that the Shawnee and Cherokee saw hundreds of years ago?  Or, is it possible that while there is a place we all agree upon as being the same place, still resolves differently for those who are able to see into some new dimension?

The suggestion was nuanced.  It was so packed with everything that it felt like a giant closet of possibilities.  There is an earth, but she is evolving.  We are evolving and we pick up on new things as we do. And as we do, the earth literally does change, does offer up a new version of itself, realizing itself through each individual's eyes and hearts.  This place was a series of earths, all depending on who is doing the perceiving.  What I sensed rising deep within is that every moment is like a flower blooming.  As each petal is pushed back by a new one further inward, we see something new.  But we don't just see it, we feel it. The added dimension is in feeling, in consciousness itself.  This alters everything.  Dirty city streets can resolve into hidden paradises.  The same old mountain range becomes a new range never seen before.  The dimension of knowing, feeling, seeing, and being, all merge in that moment to create a new synthesis and as that happens, it feeds back into us with wonder, joy, and awe.

I wrote recently about an experience I had early on before I had my first full-fledged awakening in which I felt myself drawn into the world of plant life.  All of life changed in that moment.  Before, I had seen the world in a certain way, almost like an outsider, not fully connected.  With this new experience, everything did change for me as I felt the pulse of life all around me locally and remotely. While I had had the notion that plants were intelligent creatures, much more aware than we gave them credit for, I hadn't felt it.  It was an experience in what I can only call direct cognition.  There was no way my senses could apprehend all of this, but my soul could.  This was the new dimension of awareness, and it changed how I saw all of life forever.  Suddenly the world was more than just a hive of activity.  It had a soul, it had a presence, it had a life beyond what most presume to think they know.  I stood in my back yard then, kids over for a birthday sleep-over, and we burned a bunch of sticks for a nice bon fire  As I watched the flames lick up into the sky it felt as though some invisible line had crossed overhead in the heavens.  I knew I had changed irrevocably.  It was at once a little sad and a little scary.  What on earth was I embarking?  it felt undeniable, impossible to change.  I was on this new ride and there was no changing it!  The heavens had clicked off in some new direction for me.  A new timeline, a new probability was forged in that moment.  Since then, life has been nothing but a series of changes and challenges and hurdles.  In her slumber, the earth awakens as if on cue as do we all.

As I drove up that long mountain from the Piedmont back into the Blue Ridge mountains, it became ever clearer that the world indeed resolves into countless earths, a collective earth, the earth as she is, and the earth as we all participate in.  All versions were valid.  One layer was the same earth, other layers were also the same earth, but different versions or aspects of material just waiting to be picked up on.  It was possible, they said, to see the world anew and to be utterly changed by it.  We are all doing this.  We are coming back to the earth as a very vital part of our lives, and this is a good shift to have happen in this day and age.  Its as if the old pagans are coming back for another round of worship, and this time its with the stamp of an expanding knowledge that includes quantum physics, string and brane theory.  The world becomes so many things because its limitless.  Why, it asked, would I consider that we were limitless while the earth remained the same for all?  That's because it too is limitless and just like us, is also evolving in its own way.  For a brilliant moment I held all of this inside of me and it felt so full, so hopeful and perfect, that I felt like I had seen a view no one else had before. Within each of us is that bud that is waiting to open up.  As we open, so does the earth.  Yes, we see more of what was always there, but in seeing it, something happens.  Something is changed.  There is a stamp made upon the species, upon the earth.  Earth is reminded of who she is in fullness when we can begin to see it and feel it.  We are reminded of what we are when her life force fills us as our first mother, and cradle of life here on this blue orb spinning through space.

This felt like a real expansion of something, and while I do poorly to explain precisely what happened and the amazing richness of it (none of this was an academic mental exercise as I was experiencing it as it all unfolded much like some kind of real world multimedia presentation that was also a classroom exercise in learning about reality and the world around me), what happened was so significant in its own simple but complex way that it resulted in a kind of snapping back of consciousness.  I actually felt a kind of fear or shadow following the next day.  Once I realized this was some kind of egoic compensation, I relaxed and everything normalized.  I wondered if others do this and I thought surely they must. It made sense to go easy on ourselves, to simply watch as all this happens, note, but not get too caught up in it.  Its almost like when one old layer is removed, we tend to pull out of in a reflexive way.  We are funny creatures....on our way to the promised realm.

The world can resolve into a wonderful display.  The world, changing and shifting inside of us is the world that is shifting outside of us.  How beautiful is that?  And coming over the mountains I saw this vast expanse of forest that went on for miles and slowed the car down long enough to snap the picture above.

I hope that as you notice the world changing right in front of you, you can feel into this and sense the great possibility on offer in such moments like these.  Every moment seems packed with them, like seed pods waiting to burst and become.
