The Journey...

The Journey... 

Lay your journal by your side,
Let us take a walk outside.

Down a twilit path of earth and stone,
Know you do not walk alone.

Through a field as you stride,
A guide appears pacing at your side.

An old bridge crossing creek,
Throw your troubles in before you seek.

Water burbling down below,
Away your worries now do flow.

Blessings,
Blessings,
Say you now,
Free of fear you are guided how.

Into the dappled light of wooded trail,
Your heart is light as you travail.

A hill with mighty tree atop,
Below a cave into which you drop.

Creep,
Creep,
Caverns deep.

Soon you walk ancient stony halls,
Mysterious carved symbols on its walls.

Opens up a world below,
Filled with all whom you once did know.

As with ancestors you converse,
Secrets once covered now reverse.

....

Across this land you now pace,
No hurry nor worry 'tis no race.

To the other side you now go,
Climbing up from the world below.

Out into open you now walk,
A glowing world where everything can talk.

To trees and stones you can relate,
Creatures and even waters tell it straight.

Take your time and hear them well,
For awhile we here will dwell.

--------

Soon enough you become a raven,
Hawk, or dove,
Into the air which whispers you fly above.

High straight North there is no cold,
You remember each secret you were told.

Far above the ice and snow,
To what seems a great mountain you now go.

As you near you see,
It is no mountain,
But the greatest Tree.

Atop the pinnacle perched your eyes look up,
Your wings again hands which you cup.

The world spins 'round a mighty star,
Auroras light the night both near and far.

Milky way and stars wind slowly around and around,
You hear their voices without a single sound.

Now a Spirit you soar above,
To hear the Universe's song of eternal love.

To the Moon or Mars you might go,
Even to the center's great Black hole.

-------

Back to Earth you become a bird,
Remember deeply every word.

Flying South or East or West,
You return to home and human to now rest.

Waking,
Waking,
To your town,
You pick up your journal and write it down.

Finally,
Finally,
Lay down down your pen,
Give thanks to each whose wisdom you now ken.

Nimoy Arrives...

For some reason I had a recurring daydream about a crystal skull joining my altar.

Being a self-described "shamanic tech geek," I have named him Nimoy.

Yes, he is named for the actor who played Spock first. \\//_

Nimoy is currently charging under the LED Desk lamp in my office. I also plan to give him some sun as well.

Once the photonic charge is completed, Nimoy will join my raven altar and receive periodic sonic charge from Zing, my Tibetan singing bowl, and also from Thrum, my Autumn drum. 

What I like about Nimoy is his unique set of imperfections and inclusions. There are flecks of Mars orange in his crystal, and many uniquue microfractures.

The bwst is the rainbow mandala he presents when lit.

Portable Didgideroo Imported From Japan

This is my new digideroo, Digzy. She just came home today.

I'm impressed by the seller.

Now to watch and try learning a ton of Youtube video on learning to play. 

The didgideroo is a truly ancient instrument in its original form. The Alpine horn is very similar and also ancient.

These instruments possess a strong meditative quality when played well.

Wish me luck.

As With All Good Things...

There is always Ebb and flow to the facet of a life.

For me, the Spirit World is never far from mind, yet I rarely get to spend time there. The quandary of modern life is it's ingrained separation from inner life by the daunting business of being busy "making a living."

Still, wonderful things happen on occasion. One such is an amazing project just completed by Nicholas Breeze Wood and his team from Sacred Hoop Magazine. Sacred Hoop's crew has completed a major guide to the basics and nuances of Shamanism, and they are giving it away for free download online.

"The Sacred Hoop Guide to Shamanism...

128 pages of wonderful, Image-rich shamanic information


Available as a completely free pdf download


Or as a Print-on-Demand full colour paperback book

(This is produced at cost price, but actual books unfortunately can not be free)"


You can find it HERE: http://www.sacredhoop.org/Pages/FreeGuide.html



http://www.sacredhoop.org/Pages/FreeGuide.html
 


  I have read Sacred Hoop for years. It's one of the best magazines out there. Produced in the UK, it's relatively ad-free, and the articles aren't broken up into bits like U.S. Magazines do.

I'm currently reading my copy of the guide, and so far it's excellent.

I hope the Spirits are helpful to you - and that you appreciate the amazing gift Sacred Hoop is giving the world here.

A Knack For Clickety-Clack...


34a362211710361fc96c63996113044aa203125b

It all goes on in our heads,
If anywhere at all,
You don't need a crystal anything,
Not a ball,
Not a skull,
To know that the mystery of future and history,
Is anything but dull,
But it's easy to forget to track,
We're the ones making it right now,
So keep the gears all meshed and spinning,
It's not a matter of losing or winning,
Put your ink-pen back on track,
Like a freight train,
You need to keep a knack,
For making it roll on clickety-clack.

The Eleventh House - Astrology.com

http://www.astrology.com/eleventh-house/2-d-d-67383

No wonder that Moonring in the 11th house felt good. That's the house of friendships and social and professional associations, and is ruled by Aquarius, my sign in spades. (I have 5 planets and the Sun in Aquarius.)

With it being well into Taurus, that speaks to me of money and comfort.

I love the energy in that view of the Heavens I saw last night and yesterday morning.

Keep beating the drum,

Dan

Reaching Out To Touch The Sky...

There was a large cloud ring around the nearly full Moon about 23:00 CDT in Chicago (60610) this past evening, ( 10/09/2014) the same night as the Blood Moon eclipse at 15 Aries. (That eclipse was early in the morning on 10/09/2014)

The Moon ring was at 9 degrees Taurus in the 11th house at the time, as best I can tell.

I felt really good with that energy following the eclipse for some reason.

Keep beating the drum,

Dan

  NEW VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE                       

                

Two exciting new programs by Dr. Eben Alexander have been added to the Theosophical Society's YouTube site:
Dr. Eben Alexander is a neurosurgeon and author of the best-selling book Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife. In these two programs Dr. Alexander gives a powerful re-telling of his story by looking at the past two and a half years of his life spent in trying to reconcile his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. He is convinced that his spiritual experience is totally consistent with the leading edges of scientific understanding. 

These two presentations were part of the 128th Summer Convention of the Theosophical Society in America. The theme for the conference was "Science and the Experience of Consciousness." 2014.

Is God A Quantum Spider? (9)

A theory of a quantum-entangled universe by Daniel A. Stafford
