Personal accounts of Native Americans and “Star People”

@GoodeTXSG,

I was wondering what your feelings are about the Terra Papers.


excerpt;

In time, the Star Being would come to trust the six.

By using a small crystal to create images, the Visitor began to communicate with the young men. Calling him the Star Elder, the youths sat at the knee of their Friend, examining all of the crystalline images with great care, piecing together the incredible history of our Solar system and Mankind itself.

Star Elder's message was simple m Star Beings have been here since Earth was a barren rock. They were here when Man was created and have been here throughout his evolution. In some cases their involvement was benevolent, in some cases, it was not. Man has been guided...and he has been misled. The Star Beings have been our Gods...and our Devils.

They have always been here, and they are still here now.

When pressed to explain his presence on Earth, the "Star Elder" stunned the six. There was a war in the skies above, his ship had been downed by enemy forces!


I am called 'Morning Sky'... Robert Morning Sky.

My grandfather was one of the six young Indian rescuers. When I was young, my grandfather told me the story about his Star visitor. He and his friends called him 'Star Elder', a name given out of respect. But as time passed, his name was revealed to the youths. He was called... 'Bek'Ti'.

This is his story...and mine.

I just read most of it and skimmed the rest, it is interesting and contains some truth in my opinion, but it is clearly a very one sided history, I would suggest it was propaganda of sorts.

In my understanding, based on evidence that is difficult to transfer in full, this ignores the opposing force of `progressive thinking´ in our galaxy, the alliance centred around the Pleiades region. The wealth of evidence and tribal lore support the telling of an additional aspect to the wars of the Reptilians. There have been many notable victories for the combined forces of `progressive´ races. A great number of ethnic groups claim ancestry from the Pleaides, not from Orion or Sirius, though both of those are known to be locations within alien empires and seen as extremely important to Earth history. The galaxy is not only home to evil empires. Though I readily admit that I understand the Pleiadian alliance lost the last major battle for Earth, they are back here working to free this world and our seemingly an equal match for the forces currently controlling our space. The Pleiadian alliance have played every bit as much of a role in Earth history as have the Reptilians, Geys and other Archonic forces. That document seems intent to suggest humanity has only the hope of being controlled by one blood thirsty empire or the other, that is quite untrue. The Pleiadians are not here on some suicide mission, there is a real chance of the good guys coming out on top in the very near future.

Also contrary to the claim in the article, the Pleiades is not home to Annunaki separatists, it is a base of command for an alliance of positive races, including evolved humans, lion people, bird people and others.

ALTHOUGH A LITTLE OFF TOPIC...
I often see people make strong statements of fact about this or that Alien Group's History, Origin or Involvement in Human affairs or creation. It seems that (Though I know its true) the ancient alien theory has become a guarded religion to some.

Some people follow certain channeler's or contacee's writtings or web sites and read what they have written about groups and that is now their Gospel. I have even seen the Luciferian beliefs (Shared with me many times by followers) seep into some of the stories here and there.

It would be nice if we are debating or correcting someone to have a context or source that a person is referring to. Just my opinion. I am not poo poo'ing Channeling all together as I found the Ra material and a couple others interesting. I just thought it would be nice to foot note a statement like this with your source maybe even a link so the person can go and research for themselves. No offense.

Thanks for this thread! It greatly interests me!

My maternal Great-great grandmother was Cherokee.... Eastern Tribe, from the foothills of the Appalacian Mountains, North Carolina. Many of my relatives still look very Native American.....

As I child, I would see shadow people, one in particular, all the time. I've also had a past life regression where I experienced a brief episode as a Native American woman.

I don't have any stories to tell, really, because for my grandmother to talk about the "indian" part of our family history was "taboo".

All I know is that I am very inclined to be "Earth" oriented and love the American Native culture and when I ever get back to the States, I always have to head for the area (Rutherford County and Asheville area) where I feel "at home".

Excellent,,, the mountains of North Carolina have long held a mystery that was first embraced by the Cherokee tribes of that area. In the foothills of the Brown Mountains there is some sort of 'light phenomenon' that emanates. The Cherokee share a legend of the lights being the spirits of ancestors that remain on the mountainside, remnants of a battle of long ago!!! Geological survey groups have studied the phenomenon, and it remains a mystery!! The Brown Mountain Lights.

The Brown Mountain Lights are one of the most famous of North Carolina legends. They have been reported a dozen times in newspaper stories. They have been investigated at least twice by the U.S. Geological Survey. And they have attracted the attention of numerous scientists and historians since the German engineer, Gerard Will de Brahm, recorded the mysterious lights in the North Carolina mountains in 1771.

"The mountains emit nitrous vapors which are borne by the wind and when laden winds meet each other the niter inflames, sulphurates and deteriorates," said de Brahm. De Brahm was a scientific man and, of course, had a scientific explanation. But the early frontiersman believed that the lights were the spirits of Cherokee and Catawba warriors slain in an ancient battle on the mountainside.

One thing is certain, the lights do exist. They have been seen from earliest times. They appear at irregular intervals over the top of Brown Mountain - a long, low mountain in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. They move erratically up and down, visible at a distance, but vanishing as one climbs the mountain. From the Wiseman's View on Linville Mountain the lights can be seen well. They at first appear to be about twice the size of a star as they come over Brown Mountain. Sometimes they have a reddish or blue cast. On dark nights they pop up so thick and fast it's impossible to count them.

Among the scientific investigations which have undertaken from time to time to explain the lights have been two conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey. The first was made in 1913 when the conclusion was reached that the lights were locomotive headlights from the Catawba Valley south of Brown Mountain. However, three years later in 1916 a great flood that swept through the Catawba Valley knocked out the railroad bridges. It was weeks before the right-of-way could be repaired and the locomotives could once again enter the valley. Roads were also washed out and power lines were down.

But the lights continued to appear as usual. It became apparent that the lights could not be reflections from locomotive or automobile headlights. The Guide to the Old North State, prepared by the W.P.A. in the 1930s, states that the Brown Mountain Lights have "puzzled scientists for fifty years." The same story reports sightings of the lights in the days before the Civil War.

Cherokee Indians were familiar with these lights as far back as the year 1200. According to Indian legend, a great battle was fought that year between the Cherokee and Catawba Indians near Brown Mountain. The Cherokees believed that the lights were the spirits of Indian maidens who went on searching through the centuries for their husbands and sweethearts who had died in the battle.

There are innumerable stories of the lights. But perhaps the best description is that the lights are "a troop of candle-bearing ghosts who are destined to march forever back and forth across the mountain."

The lights can be seen from as far away as Blowing Rock or the old Yonahlosse Trail over Grandfather Mountain some fifteen miles from Brown Mountain. At some points closer to Brown Mountain the lights seem large, resembling balls of fire from a Roman candle. Sometimes they may rise to various heights and fade slowly. Others expand as they rise, then burst high in the air like an explosion without sound.

Late in 1919 the question of the Brown Mountain Lights was brought to the attention of the Smithsonian Institution and the United States Weather Bureau.

Dr. W.J. Humphries of the Weather Bureau investigated and reported that the Brown Mountain Lights were similar to the Andes light of South America. The Andes light and its possible relation to the Brown Mountain Lights became the subject of a paper read before the American Meteorological Society in April 1941. In this report Dr. Herbert Lyman represented the lights as a manifestation of the Andes light.

The second U.S. Geological Survey report disposes of the cause of the Brown Mountain Lights by saying they are due to the spontaneous combustion of marsh gases. But there are no marshy places on or about Brown Mountain. The report also states that the lights from foxfire would be too feeble to be seen at a distance of several miles.

The report rules out the possibility that the lights are a reflection of mountain moonshine stills. "There are not enough such stills and they probably would not be in sufficiently continuous operation to produce lights in the number and regularity of those seen at Brown Mountain."

St. Elmo's Fire, that electrical phenomenon familiar to sea voyagers, was dismissed by a scientist from the Smithsonian Institution. He stated that St. Elmo's Fire and similar phenomena occurred at the extremity of some solid conductor and never in midair as in the case of the Brown Mountain Lights.

Some scientists have advanced the theory that the lights are a mirage. Through some peculiar atmospheric condition they believe the glowing balls are reflections from Hickory, Lenoir, and other towns in the area. The only drawback to this theory is that the lights were clearly seen before the War between the States, long before electricity was used to produce light.

In recent years scientists have been more concerned about exploring outer space. Perhaps they have forgotten that there are mysteries on our own planet still unsolved. The Brown Mountain Lights are one of them.

I just thought it would be nice to foot note a statement like this with your source maybe even a link so the person can go and research for themselves. No offense.

Personally I take no offence from such a request, I did mention in my previous post https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post684724 that there is hard evidence of Pleiadian involvement in human history, but our main source is dozens of direct abduction experiences and revealed past life information, a result of these abductions, that both of us were among a crew of Pleiadians that arrived here one million years ago. Then beginning genetic enhancement of Homo Erectus in Australia following destruction of our craft due to traitors giving help to the Reptilians. At this point we have had dozens of conversations direct with Pleiadians, this is not channelling or wishful thinking, it is extremely full on phenomena. What we did not get told directly I am getting from the only two sources I know to be genuine for Pleiadian information, the channelling work of Barbara Marciniak (the Pleiadians told me she is a genuine channel of them) and the various pat life regressions revealed in a book called Alcheringa, by Valerie Barrow, that reveal numerous other reincarnated Pleiadians from the Australia incident having the same memories as us - we did not know of her work until after writing our book in collaboration with two researchers in Australia that actually did know her work, hence realising that what we said to them was factual it being the same story they had already heard, and that it matched the physical evidence of the `Gosford Glyphs´.

A few links here for you, the first is from my own website but gives the videos of our co-authors from ForgottenOrigin.com detailing the decoding of the ancient glyphs describing the destruction of the Pleiadian vessel over Australia and subsequent landing of escape craft.

http://2012rising.com/article/forbid...r-100000-years

This is the homepage of Barbara Marciniak - the only genuine Pleiadian channel I know of, two of the books can be found as Youtube audios
http://www.pleiadians.com/

Lastly here is the site of Valerie, specifically a free sample of her book
http://www.valeriebarrow.com/books-a...revisited.html

I will add again that our own source is face to face conversations with Pleiadians, not channelling or ancient writings, and our reincarnational memories are also secondary data to the conversations.

Hope this helps & I am happy to discuss or debate as required. It is not a religion of mine, if anything I am a Gnostic Christian with Buddhist overtures, and I had almost zero interest in channellings, Pleiadians or exo-polotics prior to the abduction events that began in 2012. I say almost because I have been aware of and involved in almost every aspect of the supernormal during the last 20 years, but these areas were long since put to a side for me in favour of my primary subjects of psychic and supernatural events and my work on the Maya calendar and related subjects. Among the hundreds of articles I have written I can´t recall any being on channelling or Pleiadians prior to 2012. By all means take a look in my archive. I personally think most channelling is either fake or engineered by the CIA, and I found things down here on Earth interesting enough that I could not free up time to research deeply into aliens and UFO´s. Of course direct experiences have changed that.

I do not expect anyone to just take this all on faith from me, a virtual stranger, in fact at this point it would be a bit rash to do so. I think though it is a conversation worth having and the onus is on me to provide more and more information as required. That said of course if someone has already done research that supports my claims then I guess believing this would be far easier. I am not a member of any channelling cult and I agree with Bill´s position that usually these are full of happy happy thinking but precious little fact or useful data. I discovered Barabara Marciniak and found her to be one of a very small number of channels that I `choose´ to believe, due to overlaps with things I already knew to be real and the verification of having asked the Pleiadians if she was genuine. They stated most Pleiadian channelling was fake beyond hers. As for Valerie´s information from regressions and spontaneous past life memories, these are phenomena well investigated and shown to be provable as real, see the work of Dr Ian Stevenson for example. In her work she encountered a number of unrelated people in Australia that had memories of the Pleiadian crash, they were drawn to her as though she were a hub...which she is. Steven Strong & Evan Strong (forgottenorigin.com) have provided the science information for our project, as academic writers with 3 books out via University Press of America, the hard data is probably where most people will begin to take our position seriously unless they have supernormal experiences of their own.

This is just a fascinating thread. I also have Cherokee and Scottish bloodlines. One of the persistent rumors about my family is that we are descended from Druids. My last name is even a reference to sacred trees. Most of my family has more than just a pinch of psychic ability, although we were taught to suppress it. And all of us have ET encounters.
There seems to be an awakening happening, and I suspect that it is being fostered by higher (or different) beings, because whatever their purposes are, we will be no use to them if we destroy the planet and ourselves in the process. I look forward to watching some of those videos soon.

"Civilized Tribes" indeed. Sounds almost like it came straight out of something the founding fathers wrote doesn't it?

This is the kind of think I would like people to elaborate about. I have withheld a specific race that may sound odd to most as it is not described in stories as most are of "Tall Blonds", "Reptoids", "Types of Greys (Some being robotic Avatar suits", Tall Whites"... the list goes on. There is a lot of NA lore of Moon People/Little People and "Aquatic's" described much like the being in the movie "Hell Boy". Actually several beings in that movie are similar to some old NA Legends. One hint is this race comes to you prior to your offspring choosing you as parents and briefing you on your future responsibilities... end Hint (VERY Sensitive in nature so PLEASE discuss this race once ID'd in PM).

Please also keep sharing any other details of your stories, family stories passed down or abilities that you believe are related to your blood line. That does include visitations not only from the race I just mentioned but others, abductions by other races, MILAB's or other ODD encounters or if you have noticed surveillance (Could be paranoid, but maybe not... Heightened Sense of Awareness is a gift as well, don't shun it).

I have been experiencing a massive, personal transformation - especially lately. I hope it is for good... it feels that way.

In this process, I have come upon strange "fantasies" as to who I might be and, well... who some folks in my family might be in regards to a grander drama. The details are not important. Even more important to that is that I believe this may very well be manipulation by nefarious third parties so do not get the idea I am falling for this "You are special" BS.

Here's the reason for the post.

A few weeks back I experienced one of these revelations and I went into a strange daze for about a day. During that day I went to a park to read and take a walk. While there, I noticed a black Chevy Suburban that drove up and parked and just sat there. Soon I decided to go for my walk and I walked by this car. As I got closer to its rear I noticed the license plate was not Texas and so I went right up to it. It read - Cherokee Nation.

I then walked onto the street to pass by the driver's window to see who might be inside. As I got near the driver's window, the window started to come down. I found myself looking at a human being who had a bald head and dark sunglasses on. He had a look of annoyance but said nothing. I felt compelled to speak because I had this feeling he wanted to know why I was acting as I was and scoping out his car. I told him apologetically that I was intrigued by the license plate and wanted to know what it said and that I was surprised it said Cherokee Nation. He just looked at me with the same straight face, no expression though I sensed he was not happy, turned his head to look forward as the window rolled back up.

Of course, in my paranoia, I secretly thought this car was there because of me... but that would be nothing but paranoid fantasy right? I mean, who the hell am I? Just someone who has taken the red pill to some extent? There are millions of us who have done so now.

But I cannot rule out this "man" was not just some earth born human. He seemed like more and he seemed like he was there to "send me a message" perhaps that I needed to change something about my "reason to be here."

I thought, could this be a "star being?"

This experience (I believe) occurred on May 27th... well before this thread was started. I know it occurred on or before June 1 because I came back and did internet searches all about the Cherokee and relearned about the terrible "Trail of Tears." I also "was led" to a link that was about Native American creation myths. The Cherokee creation myth can be found in this link.

I felt terrible, terrible ancestral shame and guilt through this experience. My grandfather on my Dad's side was born in Childress, Texas just west of Oklahoma where the Cherokee ended up after the Trail of Tears event. My grandfather may have been a KKK sympathizer and/or participant by the way... I guess most white folks back then in this part of the world would have been.

My bloodline in this lifetime is Welsh, Scottish, Irish, English and German.
I am not aware of any Native American blood, but I know I have had N.A. past lives.
I had a good friend who is a blond Apache (there have been blond Apaches for a long time and the theory is that somewhere back in time, Apaches interbred with Vikings), a fifth generation medicine woman, and we have shared a lot in our spiritual journeys.
I'm certain I've been incarnating on this Earth for many lifetimes, and stories about Native American spiritual traditions and about Atlantis awaken deep feelings of deja vu.
My Dauphin Island experience brought in another piece of information about Atlantean times and a connection with Native America which was very meaningful for me.
Here is a description of the experience which I shared on the Here and Now thread at:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...nds#post654386

When we left Missouri for a week in February 2008 for Dauphin Island, a small vacation island off the coast from Mobile, Alabama, there were 5 inches of snow on the ground, but after the 10 hour drive, we were in a sunny, balmy climate; certainly a welcome change at the end of a long winter.
Dauphin Island is quite small, but there is a powerful, ancient and sacred Native American site there called the Shell Mounds, which was especially treasured by the women.
There are Post Oak trees there, some over a thousand years old, all gnarled and festooned with Spanish moss.
Long ago, different tribes from all over Turtle Island gathered there in peace, and their most powerful Medicine Women were brought there to be buried.
Some of them were buried standing up as it was thought that their spirits would be better able to remain alert for the guardianship of the sacred island.

Since the site is close to the beach and shellfish were one of the main sources of sustenance to the people, there are countless empty shells intermixed with the soil, thus the name “Shell Mounds”.
At night, the shells glow in the dark and are strewn all along the paths, so you can actually walk there on a moonlit night without flashlights.
There is a peaceful calm pervading the park, and the presence of Spirit is palpable.

On the day after my first visit to the Shell Mounds, I was sitting alone on the beach, soaking up the sun and watching a shrimp boat trawling past, followed by a group of dolphins who were feasting in the boat’s wake on the catch of the day.
I was sending a telepathic request to the dolphins for a “hello”, hoping they would come closer to shore( on the condition that they weren’t too busy or too hungry to greet me, but they were evidently more interested in lunch...).

I was soon to discover that my call had been answered by a different creature, however.
First I should explain that I had a friend who is a fifth generation blond Apache Medicine Woman.
Some years ago, knowing that I revere Native American spirituality, she asked me if I would like her to give me a sacred name, to which I agreed.
She consulted her Spirit Guides and they said my name was “Dancing Crane”.
The reason, she said, is because I move like a dancer in spite of my limp (just one injury resulting from a near-fatal car accident), and because I love to dance.
( I took Sacred dance classes for 5 years with a world class dancer named Youkta, who had a lot of Native American blood, and I’m sure she had been N.A. in past lives, as have I.)
Also, my disability inclines me toward standing on one foot a lot of the time...
(One leg is actually shorter than the other due to bone loss, so I have had to work on balance.)

Cranes often stand on one leg and are amazingly graceful and balanced.
Their mating dances, in particular, are spectacular.
So Crane naturally became for me a symbol of my disability, and a teacher of the way to work with my wound, both as an artist and as a wounded healer.
At first, I didn’t feel a strong connection with Crane and I didn’t especially resonate with the name Dancing Crane.
I wanted something more poetic sounding, but my experience at Dauphin Island changed my feelings about my name and about Crane Medicine.

Back on the beach, after I had given up on a dolphin connection and had laid back on my beach towel to meditate for awhile on the perfection of the sun, the surf and the warm sand, I sat up again after a bit to look through the cache of shells I had collected from the beach.
I began to pull them out of my jacket pockets and brush the sand from them so I could get a better look at each object’s delicate perfection.
After a moment, for some inexplicable reason, I turned my head all the way to my right and to my amazement, saw a crane standing there very calmly, perhaps 5 yards away from me.
It seemed completely settled and at peace, and I had the impression it had been there for some time, though I had neither seen nor heard it arrive.
I didn't know then what kind of crane it was but it was grayish, brown and white and had an ivory bill.
It was perfectly poised standing there on one leg, facing the ocean, but since a bird’s eyes are on either side of it’s head, it must have had me in its sights, though it appeared not to notice me at all.

I actually couldn’t see at that time whether it was standing on one leg or two, because it was facing the ocean and so I was seeing it in profile.
I watched it for perhaps 10 minutes, sighing restlessly and shifting around rather uncomfortably on my beach towel, yet it didn’t move a muscle.
I found myself wishing it would move, so that I could see if it was on one leg or two, which I knew was of significance.
Presently when it did, I could see it had indeed been standing on one leg, as it brought the tucked up leg effortlessly down to the sand and turned to face me.
Then it slowly opened its beak wide and closed it again almost with a snap, as if it was yawning or making a commentary.
felt perhaps it was finding my restless, impatient company a bit vexing!
(That yawn was rather a humbling element of the overall experience…)
It fixed me with its placid, golden-eyed gaze for a long moment, blinked once, then turned unconcernedly towards the ocean and tucked its leg up again.

After another 10 minutes or so of the bird standing perfectly poised and immobile, with me, the rather unwilling birdwatcher, trying unsuccessfully to be patient and get comfortable on my towel, I began again to wish that it would move, if only to break the monotony.
Of course, I knew that the crane was there for a reason, and I understood that it certainly had to relate intimately to Crane Medicine, but the contrast of the unperturbed bird and my increasingly restless state caused too much discomfort for me to have much perspective or insight at the time.
(...Which was precisely the lesson, I was later to conclude...!).

Presently, however, it turned again and began to walk directly towards me, as though I weren’t even there, which I found extremely disconcerting.
It was about 1 yard away when it abruptly veered towards the ocean instead, tracing a path in the sand, perhaps 1 yard in front of the edge of my towel, and then continuing on to my opposite side, to a spot about 6 yards away and somewhat further back from the beach.
It stood there calmly for about 15 minutes or so more, with its back to me.
By now I was ready to jump up and do somersaults, I was so restless, but suddenly the crane flapped its wings effortlessly a few times to lift off from the ground and took off, flying sedately along the shoreline until it was finally out of sight.

In the mood I was in at that moment, I was more relieved than anything else.
The part of me that was programmed at an early age to disregard unfamiliar things like Native American shamanism was very much in the forefront of my being on that day.
I wasn't sure why, but I thought perhaps it was because the surroundings were still so unfamiliar.
More likely, though, is that the old programming was up for revision and cleansing.

In time, as I had a chance to reflect more on my experience, I felt this was a significant instance of powerful animal medicine for me.
I think I had reached a kind of stasis, where I needed once again to change my attitude about my disability.
I had been growing accustomed to perceiving it as a hindrance, preventing me from feeling peaceful or from living in balance and harmony with myself and with Nature. It is an issue I have been working with for years and I have gone through different phases with it.
At other times in my life, my disability has seemed more like a gift, and I think the Crane’s visit was meant in part to make it possible for me return to that more positive point of view.

Thanks in part to my friend Sunshine, Crane had become both a teacher and a symbol for me of my disability, and so seeing the crane standing so gracefully, patiently, peacefully, perfectly calm and in balance, really brought the message home to me of what the necessary shift in my consciousness had to be, and it was about more than balance.
The very nurturing energy I felt from Crane also had a shamanic message for me as a “wounded healer”.
I felt that Crane was not only showing me what I needed to incorporate more into my being, but was also healing me with its presence and imprinting its message deep in my being, and I was later to have dramatic confirmation regarding that.

March 2009 Update

The women’s spirituality group who sponsored the Dauphin Island retreat had a conference call, which Don Bland participated in.
Don is a N.A. elder who was asked many years ago by several elder N.A. women to become the caretaker of the Shell Mounds, and so he moved there and for about 35 years without any remuneration, spent much of his time gathering the history and lore of the Island, guiding people through the park, sharing its history with them when he felt it was appropriate, and helping to maintain the park.
He's retired now and no longer living there, but is still very much in touch with the spirits that protect the Island.

On the conference call, I told Don about my encounter with the crane on the beach, which he said was actually a type of Blue Heron, and he told me its name in his traditional tongue, which sounded like "Unkashalah" (not sure of the spelling), meaning "cryer of the famine".
He said the medicine of the Blue Heron in his tradition has to do with alerting and teaching the people in times of famine about how to eat sustainably and healthfully. My jaw literally dropped, because a big focus in my life has been learning and teaching the healing powers of food as medicine; of sprouting, juicing and eating organic, and of using super foods like algae, aloe, maca, probiotics, etc.
It really is a time of famine here in the US because so much of our food is lacking in any nutritional value, due to processing and commercial and factory farming practices.
Not to mention the way that animals on commercial farms and in slaughterhouses are fed so unnaturally and treated so inhumanely.

And Blue Heron medicine is about patience, achieving balance and harmony, and about the gifts of individuality and of the power of standing alone.
Heron's gaze is very receptive, penetrating and clear, so it also has to do with the third eye.
I was amazed that for most of the 30-45 minutes of my encounter with the heron, it was standing in such a balanced, calm, patient manner; motionless, radiating the most peaceful, nurturing energy.
When it looked at me, I felt it was seeing me fully, as both an individual and as a part of the All.
Attaining those same qualities has been the major focus of my life, so Blue Heron Medicine was certainly validating.

Don added that herons sometimes fly as a group in the sky and do a very graceful kind of spiraling dance when they are mating).
When I was taking dance classes, my teacher often portrayed her dance as being spiral and when I performed, I was told that I radiated a very tangible harmonious, healing energy.
I would often go into a trance while dancing, so for me it was definitely a part of my spiritual and healing practice, and my way of grounding into shamanic energy.
Don said that although herons are primarily solitary, when they come together as groups to raise their young, their colonies are extremely peaceful and well ordered. So in addition to having the medicine of standing alone as an individual, they are also about living harmoniously in community, which has been another major theme in my life.

Don also told us some of the history of Dauphin Island.
He said that thousands of years ago, when the Earth was going through the last huge Shift (he thought it was when Atlantis sank) there were many places on Turtle Island that were submerged or destroyed, and consequently many people of the various tribes were displaced and had to relocate.
He said that people from various areas and tribes came to Dauphin Island, and learned to live together in peace there.
There were some women who were different looking, blonde and blue-eyed, very tall and strongly spiritual, who spoke an unfamiliar language.
Don said that they blended in spiritually with the other people very well and were considered leaders.
He didn't know their precise origin, but many came from up the coast.

All the women came together and agreed that they were going to form a matriarchal society, because the conflicts caused by patriarchal hierarchy had caused so much unnecessary suffering for so long, and had ended in major cataclysm.
So women and children had their own space and lived separately from the men to a great extent, and the women called the shots.
The result was that there was peace and abundance for all for a very long time.

Dauphin Island became renowned on Turtle Island as a sacred place and the power of the Grandmothers there still feels very potent; the ancient Live Oaks help to anchor that energy.
I later discovered an article online about a place called the Moody Garden Pyramid Hotel Complex, which is on Galveston Island, Texas, just up the coast from Dauphin Island.
See:
http://www.globalmeditations.com/earthkeeper1.htm

The Three Pyramid Alignment

Now the three Pyramid complex on Galveston Island was indeed built in a strategic alignment, and for philanthropical and frequencial purpose.
One unit is an aquarium eterically guarded by Master Dolphins, another is a bio rainforest with a geological cave containing massive clusters of quartz crystal, and the third is an academic museum pyramid, glassed in copper tone.

Appropriately constructed and spiritually intended pyramids on the Earth plane become living conscious energies, capable of myriad properties that are unrecognized or disavowed by your mainstream academia.
And while the intent for which they are employed affects the interface of these conscious living geometric batteries, their very design will not allow for denser energies to culminate or expand within them.
Yet when approached with appropriate intent, the energy within pyramids stores and transmits data similar to quartz.
According to how they are aligned both terrestrially and celestially they can create electromagnetic anomalies, an aspect that alters gravity and dimensional time.
Both weightlessness and a time distortion occur at specific frequencies within them, both slowing and accelerating light and fluxing the ionic ratios within and around them.

Ancient Atlantean Pyramid

Now, approximately 5 miles from the area of Galveston Island, an ancient ceremonial Pyramid complex existed in a coastal region, now submerged and covered in the sedimentary silt and slime of the ages below Gulf waters.
The (ancient) Crystal Skull now called Max , indeed of extra terrestrial origin) was among the 13 skulls located within it.
The Moody Gardens Pyramids have taken on the multidimensional energies of the submerged Atlantean complex, which were transferred in place by the ancient skull recorder, and are now fully formatted to play a major role in the Cosmic Trigger.

The Moody Garden Pyramids are axialtonally attuned to the energies of the Giza complex and to a potent degree to the Yucatan Pyramids.
We tell you that Pyramidal Temples exist in timelessness and co exists in parallel dimension within the timeless void.
This is why the Pyramids at Giza can never be accurately aged because once constructed they surmount linear time and the nature of their energetic geometries supra-impose in parallel and emit etheric doubles in multi -dimensional timelessness. The paradox is that once built, they always existed.
It is in fact this aspect and locale that inspired the philanthropical reconstruction of pyramids in this precise location for the Restitution of the Sanctuary and Sanctity of the Dove.

( The Dove, according to Tyberonn and others, extends from the coast at Galveston inland to the crystal country of Arkansas, which is known as the Heart of the Dove, which will be, in certain prophecies, a center for spiritual reawakening in the coming age.)
There are 3 huge, beautiful pyramids there, one of which has an aquarium in it (which at one point at least, was home to dolphins), another is a kind of greenhouse containing a rain forest garden, and the third has a crystal cave in it.
According to the article, written by geologist/sacred tour guide/channeler James Tyberonn (who was born in crystal country in Arkansas and has connected with many indigenous elders on his travels) there is an ancient submerged pyramid complex just off the coast there, which was built and used in Atlantean times to help hold the crystalline energy grid of those times.
The article maintains that these new pyramids are going to be holding the energy of the new grid that is being created now during this next big Shift into the New Age. It seems likely that is where those blonde, blue-eyed women came from to Dauphin Island long ago, and that all seems to tie into the Herstory of Dauphin Island itself.
I had the oddest, most tingly sensation of revelation and deja vu when I read that, and it has never quite left me...

update: On my last trip to Dauphin Island, I spent about a half hour watching a blue heron standing in a pool, waiting for a fish to appear. It was still standing there when I finally left, and I was wishing there had been more interaction, but on the way back, I found a truly breathtaking piece of driftwood that has an amazing resemblance to a crouching heron, with eyes and feather and a long, loopy neck.
I have no doubt it was a medicine gift. It sits in a place of honor now on my bookcase along with shells, crystals and feathers.

After reading some of this thread, I regret that I dont have alot of knowledge of my native culture. I am Chippewa Indian from my mothers side and Spanish from my fathers side.

Although I was born in AZ, I spent some time in Minnesota as a child with some of my Native American family but for some reason dont remember very much of it. Being that my mother was an alcoholic and we moved around alot I didnt get much education on my Native American culture. I do remember something that has always stuck with me though, Im not sure exactly how old I was (under 12 yrs) I had been living with a foster mother who took me to a sweat lodge ceremony that was interesting in that during the ceremony an Indian chief had asked for the animal spirits to connect with us and I remember feeling birds wings flapping on my shoulders....Later when I asked what it meant, my foster mother told me that mine was the eagle and it was making itself known to me...

I still wonder about that and wish I could remember more or would have gotten more educated on these things but I appreciate this thread for opening that up for me to do my own research.

I also now am wondering about my dreams that I know I have had since childhood, not sure how long as I dont remember details on the ages I was but I have always had dreams of flying and have a couple confirmed experiences of OBE's. Its hard to determine if many of those flying dreams were actual OBE's. This is probably one of the reasons why I am so drawn to regression hypnosis. I have been wanting to do regression but just cannot afford it right now. I think it would connect more dots to remember more of my childhood and the many dreams and OBE's I have had.

I want to mention that one particular dream of flying I had was interesting in that I was flying around an old building of some sort that was partially run down and decaying and I saw two live gargoyles flying near me. I was obviously a little scared of them and tried to keep my distance from them but they were alive and watching me. It was interesting to say the least !

Something else thats been nagging at me for quite some time is that I feel such a strong connection or you could even call it a longing to "aliens". I have often throughout my life felt I am being watched and observed. I dont know what to make of it but there has been many mornings I wake up and feel like I have been busy all thru the night and not 'here" in my body. Its so strange to feel that I wasnt in my sleeping body and wonder where I went but cannot remember.

To give you an example of this feeling of always being watched, I was sitting on my patio after I got home from work the other day and got that feeling again of someone watching me, and look what I saw up in the sky !!


It was plain as day to me but my cell phone made it a little hard to see so I darkened the pic incase you cant discern what it is ....

PS. Wanted to add, while looking at this alien in the sky for a good 20 minutes, all the clouds around it were moving and changing except the obvious face of the alien. Wierd, right?

Thank you for all this great info, I will try to get through the rest of it soon. And when I get some more time will try to research and contribute more on the Chippewa Ojibwa tribe.

Bless,

[onawah]

If you haven't read the novels by Louise Erdrich about the Ojibwa people, I think you would enjoy them.
She is a prize winning author, and you should be able to get her books from your public library.

Well, seems like it's time to share some of my Native American story here as I said I would in a previous post...thanking CD7 on Jimini's thread opened the door : )
https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post689265

...and THAT is the gist of the matter that we are upon now...
up-on-spirit, as no other time/non-time, imho CD7 : )
Critical mass has duly and truly occurred...the metamorphosis has taken hold!

I could be nothing but sincerely and overwhelmingly grateful for that happening on that Nipmuc Indian Hill in 2007...for I simply profoundly was given a gift of a higher crash course along these rhythms. Yes, my Son's passing a few years prior put me on target to work towards and then accept this gift...all spiritual doors were opened by my intent, I found it was delivered so that I may deliver the message to all that were opening to it in front of me, real personal experience to help Others heighten Their Own real personal experiences now.
Three mornings of sincere and intense sunrise meditation, vibration gone sky high, experiencing things that were beyond my 3d comprehension on that hill, seeing and sensing and experiencing other worldly things right here, a shamanic death and rebirth, a full recap of personal inventory, Danny's Spirit speaking to me for 2 days as though He was right there with me, being a spiritual conduit of balance and cleansing and connection helping all of this 'correction' now taking place...just listening and doing without question or doubt after I got over the questioning and doubting real quick as there were too many wonderful higher spiritual synchronicities and anomalies occurring back to back to back...gaining a knowing that Anyone could experience these things in Their Own Ways by simply consciously decisively opening up to it and having a higher intention...whatever that may be personally.

Thank You again Jiminii and CD7 and All here at Avalon!
.......

And following through with Onawah's Dauphin Island "Animal Spirit" re-post and also 4evrneo's alien 'twist' with a Native American Connection is significant to my happenings and Justoneman's Cherokee "Trail of Tears" and William's sharing His Connections and Messages(listening to and acting on) and Everyone else that has been sharing, Thank You
and again Thanks to GoodeTXSG for starting !

...
This is an original post of mine on Celestine's forum I made at the end of 2007 when I started sharing openly on the internet....please excuse my 10-year-old-type excitement and delivery on the post...much of what happened to me did indeed make me feel like a child in awe and wonder of what was going on within and in front of me.
http://www.celestinevision.com/celes...er=asc&start=0

Hello All!
Wonderful to be aboard!
Love and Light and Harmony to Each and Everyone Here at Celestine!
Read The Celestine Prophecy years ago and loved it!

I have had one heck of a beautifully energized year. I am sharing a brief outlay of my "direct and personal" experiences so that anyone can "look" into this for themselves if they choose : )

There are many, many, many good things on the way...and each one of us can help the goodness along by simply being the best we can be and the co-creation of love will unfold!
.....
In Synopsis Form:

-Since a child I remember feeling strongly that something was very wrong with the picture in front of me.

-Was immensely distorted by the way many people treated others demeaningly in day to day life.

-I had the inherent eye to eye philosophy...never talk down or look down to anyone.

-Had major issues with what most folks conformed to.

-Jumping to the present, My Mom(83) and My Son(21) went to the other side in June and August of 2003.
Mom went within a month of lung complications...My Son went in a deep sleep of basically choking from snoring apnea.

-Made a conscious decision to turn 180 degrees from energy-input- work-life as I knew it in 3d after the anger subsided from that summer of loss.

-From research on healing, holographics, eastern philosophies, light therapy(man-made)--- I simply decided to start taking in the sunlight visually at sunrise in January of 2007. This intuitive move was made because I basically shrugged my shoulders and accepted that it would simply be a focused benefit regarding 'making a connection' by doing this...even if I were actually putting myself in a guinea pig situation...it did not concern me...I jumped right in on faith and intuition and because I had worked outdoors most all of my adult life building and had had plenty of sun exposure...and I hardly ever wore sunglasses throughout life.

-Three days after starting visual sunrise intake for about a half hour or more I came across Dr. Mitchell Gibson's interview on the Conscious Media Network site.

http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com...rs/mgibson.htm

From that interview I was led to other indigenous culture solar tradition and healing research...and well..the rest is history...making adjustments to my method of intake...as in barefoot-earth-contact, sunrise and sunsets, and re-building the time in increments, and taking wind-down gratitude walks afterwards : )

http://www.solarhealing.com/sgprocess.htm


-Now...that first few weeks following my initial solar meditation was, well, rather wild : ) Everything in front of me began to vibrate at a high intensity...colors around me seemed to almost glow, especially in nature. I began to see holographically by simply focusing for just seconds and playing with the contrasts of light. Mostly animal spirits and faces(human and animal) and some human figures and biological-type-glowing figures. Most all felt good and made me smile with enhancement...some darker images(not feeling right to me) appeared very rarely...if I turned away they would simply fade.

-I am on an old farming hill in a town/area in New England where the Nipmuc Indians have a strong history, especially on the lake nearby. [I had said all of my life that the Indians 'had it right' for the most part...and everyone that knew me knew of this feeling of mine.] The area across the street from me (mostly developed now) was actually an Indian cemetery/burial ground. The owner of the home across the street shared with me that he is right at the old entry way...he actually saved the granite pillars that use to mark the entrance and put them on either side of his driveway as respect and honor for their memory. You can see the old pathway to the grounds at the left of his front yard. This is a SACRED HILL. When I first started taking in the light I had a mind-blowing beautiful dream of my Son and Mom and Loved Ones...when I woke from it I was drawn across the street to the entry of the burial grounds.
A path was highlighted in front of me and as I followed it I was taken on top of a rock wall that went thru the woods and was brought to my knees on that wall and spouted out all the names of the loved ones in my life and that brought me to tears...breathing as if I were running a race. When I looked ahead the rock wall went left and right and both directions were highlighted. I had to make a decision of direction...I instinctively chose to the right after that spiritual connection on my knees. I came to a grassy area in the opening and simply fell into a large bowl-type depression in the ground and passed out for a couple minutes. Do not know if this hole was where body remains were dug up and moved or simply someone's backyard where they had dug earth for landscaping. When I came to I gazed at the small tree in front of me and saw an image of an antique "key" glowing in the branches and contrasts. I simply said to myself I am being told "I have the key"!

-A few days after this happening I had a session with a healing therapist an hour and a half away from me. She is connected to the processes(Re-Connective Healing) passed on by Dr. Eric Pearl who also has an interview on the Conscious Media Network site.

http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com/members/epearl.htm

Debbie was tuned in entirely to what had gone on with me and when we met there were very few words but many smiles...I had shared none of what had occurred that day with her prior to this meeting. When I laid down on the table to start my session I automatically put my hands together at the navel touching the thumbs and index fingers and creating an opening as is done in the lotus meditation position. And folks, I was never into any kind of meditation prior to these happenings...never went to a healing therapist never put my hands together for reception of energy...and so on. About a minute into relaxation on the healing table I felt an immense surge of energy coming in thru my hands and into my body at the navel area...and I mean an unbelievable thrust...it actually made my chest expand and my head push back against the pillow. The whole experience was immensely uplifting...as I had talked out loud and connected to My Son, My Mother and other Loved Ones...once again.

-A couple days after that session another intense dream and that "key" was revealed. And Y'All know what it is because You All know what it is...it is that simple. "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE" For Ourselves, For Others, For the Spirit World that is here to help Us if We ask and take Loving Action. Later that morning of that dream I was in the backyard chanting "Unconditional Love" jumping up and down like a little kid facing the sun...laughing out loud...saying..."Ok..ok..I get it...I get it...HaHaHa! I had to show Unconditional Love and acceptance towards this energy and enlightenment I was receiving because I was having doubts along the way regarding much of it too.

-When I went inside the message machine on my phone was blinking, played it back...
guess who? : )
It was Debbie, checking in on me, actually laughing in the message while asking, "Are You OK, Dan...just wanted to check in...give me a call if You feel the need.." And then She went on to confirm our next session appointment. Wild and Wonderful Stuff! : )
.......



I had a powerful vision dream, that January 2007, that had me floating above my bed in full Indian feathered head dress and deerskin clothing...it was so beautiful I tried to go back to dreamig 3 times to finish it...the 3d try I was told by Spirit to "go live it', 'go write the script'..if I wanted it finished. My son Danny's voice was fading at this time but I got a whisper from him, "Dad, go, go, go!"
Well, to my surprise I finished that vision dream 3 1/2 years later in the jungle in Peru....I thought it was going to be the rest of my life finishing... I was given a gift for listening to promptings and doing without a 2nd thought...Spirit has been my Guide since all of this occurred in 2007. I had many daily promptings and 3 major promptings that I had followed through with without hesitation. The culmination of that dream included a powerful symbolic 'reversal' of the Cherokee "Trail of Tears" and my past Native American lives and how my Son was an integral/powerful part of that and the Tribe we belonged to.

I will share some more details here later, chronologically...in smaller posts.

Thank You!
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin!

[eaglespirit]

It all started at the oldest farmhouse on that Nipmuc Indian Hill, known as Brandon Hill today. This is in Dudley, MA... right over the line from the town I was born in and had been away from for years, Webster, home of the Nipmuc Indians, as it is called...Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is the Nipmuc name for Webster Lake. The high school I went to before we moved to the Cape was Bartlett...yep, the Bartlett Indians(Nipmuc).

I moved into the lower portion of this old farm home that Mike and Jane owned, Mike was Micmac Indian lineage and Jane was a bit of a clairvoyant and healer with a twin sister with healing gifts that had had many interesting personal alien incidents...
I knew none of this or them when I began renting in the fall of 2003, the year my Son passed on.

I was still smoking cigarettes at the time and each early morning I would smoke and have my coffee at the rear of the yard which had abandoned railroad trunk lines there. I would pace back and forth and up and down the trunk lines thinking of Danny's passing and working out my anger about every morning for some time.
Their yard was basically a nature sanctuary they created...it was beautiful and full of tree and flower and garden and bird life...it was what they did for enjoyment, nurturing the yard.

That next Spring I came home from work and went into the far backyard where Mike and Jane were busy with some new landscaping. right where I spent many a morning...there were new trellises over a pathway Jane was laying flagstone on and planting flowers. I asked her what she was doing..she looked up at me and smiled and said "This is for you"...I about fell over in surprise...they cleaned up and prepared that area as a quiet sanctuary for me...and this is exactly where my morning sungazing started and where my vibration began to soar and my Indian Spirit happenings came to life.
I need to note that the farmhouse had had active spirits/ghosts, as I later found out from Jane. Her young daughter actually talked to the little boy regularly that appeared to her in her room...and the boy's grandfather startled Jane in the house many a time. She had tried to get them to leave but was unable to....they vanished when I moved in...Jane and Mike did not know whether it was because of me moving in or because they had just finished extensively remodeling the upstairs. The history of that farm was looked into and the young boy died of an accident...they presumed the grandfather felt responsible...something along those lines that kept their spirits there with unfinished business.

Those first nights I would go to the middle of the sanctuary and sit on a bench facing south that Mike had put there. My peripheral vision brought up strong lights and caused the whole area to glow...the left side was a strong ruby red and the right side was like a vivid aquamarine. I was just simply awestruck by this and there were many more things to follow. One of the very first things I noticed while looking at the older trees were Indian figures/faces and writings and symbols appearing quickly in the contrasts of light on the trunks of the trees when I would gaze at them.

I'll continue every other day or so : )

Thank You, GoodeTXSG : )

Been a bit busy with things lately...will be sharing my journey as I can.

...but...

Just had a current wonderful synchronistic connection last week at the tobacco shop here on the Cape I frequent.

I was on my way out and saying thanks to Rick the owner and I had said something with a Native American theme to it and the Woman that had just come in heard this and said, "Excuse me but can you recommend tobacco I should get to make offerings on a trip I'm taking to connect with the past on the Trail of Tears of the Cherokee?"

As is with most of the things that have gone on in the past 5 1/2 years....I could not make these things up that are in musical rhythm with my direct experiences!

She was going with a Federation of Women's Group to walk parts of the Trail and make stops along the way to honor the Cherokee.
She shared with me that she is lineage of the settlers from that area that had contact and relationship with the Cherokee.
She said the 'tears' were mostly shed by the settlers that had wanted to stop the forced exodus but could not...and that the Cherokee basically handled it all stoically.

She was astonished by my personal happenings relating to the Cherokee...we had a wonderful talk.

I told her I had immense honor and respect for what they were doing.and that they were embarking on an act of profound service and bringng spiritual balance to that tragic happening, "The Trail of Tears"

She said, " I like that, balance, yes."

A Big Hug and Smiles before we parted!

[eaglespirit]

I did not share alot of this openly anywhere, as You may well understand why...reactions, I did not want to cause jealousy or envy or, well, questions of my intent or sanity : )...this should not be an issue now and here, at least I wish it to be so. I am sharing because I feel it needs to be out there now for those of You that may get some good of and from it.
.......
For those first few weeks of January 2007 I was basically vibrating sky high and we had very unusual weather...it was spring-like, so much so that the rhododendrons in the yard were actually trying to bud blossom. I could gaze at the smaller trees and the buds on them would actually glow and grow to upright candle flame like lights, there were things going on with my visual contact with everything to do with my natural surroundings in front of me. I put my hand over a young tree trunk nearby my entry walkway and my hand felt vibrations coming through and then a soft heat...all I could do was smile and take deep breaths when these things continually occurred. I was mesmerized by the birds in flight constantly, the underside of their wings would glow with flickers of light and I felt I was getting some kind of spiritual download from them too. I could and would create almost instant holographic images in the contrasts of light and color wherever I focused. Spirit images and life forms and biological type formations appeared everywhere. I looked up into a tall pine tree and a waving flag with a dark insignia on it I did not recognize began coming towards me...it did not feel right and I simply turned away and it faded, that is one of the few negative things that happened, most all of what went on was positive and uplifting. I often wondered if that flag had something to do with the darker going-ons on that hill when the Indians were forced to move from there. It may also have had something to do with the lineage of the Grandfather and Grandson's Spirits that had been encountered continuously by Mike and Jane and Their Daughter before I moved there.

Whenever I had time I walked and hiked the whole area relentlessly...I could not get enough of any kind of nature connections daily. I was sungaze meditating at every sunrise and sunset whenever it was clear. After my second session with Debbie, the healer, I remember telling her I was staring at the sun every day I was able and she simply smiled and shook her head in agreement... I said I was going to continue doing it intensely and she nodded her head up and down agreeing with a big smile...interesting confirmations like this I would get all the time.

In the PBS series, "We Shall Remain", the Native American story put out a few years ago...the Wampanoag Elder would sit with the sun at the shoreline at sunrise and greet it and look at it and talk to it...I was so happy to see that they had put that in the first episodes.

Also, David "Tall Pine", the Nipmuc Leader I had met in the Summer of 2007 at a nearby Reservation Gathering,

did all of the language work for that series. He opened the Tribe's arms and hearts to me. He and Other Tribal Members became Dear Friends. I had many meetings with Them and Him and went to a number of his Nipmuc-Algonquian language classes and Spirit Gatherings.

One of the many vision dreams I had during this time that I actually woke up and went outside and continued the dream, the whole night sky lit up the backyard...the four directions each glowed stronger and seemed to vibrate up and down towards me while I was facing north and looking at the house and seeing all of the People in my life come out from behind it and I was laughing out loud and greeting them one by one, now, mind you, this was about 10:30 or so at night, They were all saying basically the same things to me..."What a ride, huh? It's all a journey of love and learning and sharing and we're all together for each other in this story" ..with big long hugs from each of them as we met up. I looked up in the sky and thought I was going to be taken to a starship to see Danny, I mean it was so real, that feeling, I felt it was going to happen any moment.

I do not know how long I was out there but Jane and Mike came out from behind the house and I smiled and greeted them and thought they were in my dream....They kept saying " Dan, Dan...come here" I motioned for them to come to me...They said, "No Dan, come on in the house with us...it's late and you may wake the neighbors"....it took me a while to snap out of it but I finally went over to them and went inside.

That night I slept at some friends of mine down the road, Mark and Joanne...who became an integral part of all of this...the small Nipmuc Reservation was right down the street from them. And that night I stayed there on the couch another dream pre-empted the prompting of heading to the woods east of their home to a property called "lightning rock" that had never been touched or developed. It was a huge boulder split into 3 parts by lightning and where I would have a powerful life changing encounter a few days later.

The Native American Medicine Wheel became my powerful Connection and Gratitude symbol...I would create one wherever I was prompted to. They became like a mini-vortex for me and my ceremonies.

[eaglespirit]

My Vision Dream of 2007 on that Sacred Hill that prompted my travels to create it and culminate it by...
"writing the script and go-go-go live it"...
was concluded 3 1/2 years later in personal ceremony vision in the lower jungle in Peru and revealed that the Native American Tribes of Oneness Spirit are actively 'stepping out of their misery' and reversing/balancing the 'trail of tears' in real time moreso than ever through upbeat actions of the Heart together around the world!

this became an integral part of this vision conclusion a couple months later...as I came out of the jungle from the deepest covered tent after a night of torrential downpour (good thing because I was howling my head off chanting) I stopped at the circle to make offerings of gratitude and re-birth at the center where we had fires and I was basically crying my eyes out there and all the way out of the jungle (reversal of "The Trail of Tears" : )
My son, Danny's Spirit was with me powerfully...the Woman, Annette, that had done ceremony at that tent the previous night could not find her wooden staff after looking all over for it...I found it under the tent and it was meant to be, representing Danny being with me, having 2 staffs on the way out...
the other part of that vision finale included
showing me a past life as an Indian chief and Danny being the protector/coordinator of the tribe and basically my advisor and bodyguard...I would not make any important tribal decisions without consulting him...I called him the Chief's Chief : )

...
Just wanted to add that the trees I used for the circle were already downed well before I got there. All I did was chainsaw them smaller and plane them and sand them to make the benches and legs. And yes, it was a bit tedious getting to the trunks I wanted and the bugs and the heat...and the, and the : )
I always thought it interesting when I asked the Shaman how many benches...his response was 21... without hesitation : )

I'm not going chronologically....going back and forth and up, down and around as prompted, but I'll get the gist of my Native American story here!

In 2006 I made a commitment with a friend, Rick, from Washington state, to help him build a townhouse duplex. We met over the internet on an investment site and we simply wanted to show others it could be done without knowing each other at all... and we did it.
I flew out there early summer of 2007 and had given him a hint of what I had been through in January. Come to find out he was Sioux bloodline and originally from North Dakota...his personal Native American history came out as we shared more when we met in person.

He had a car available for me while we were building and I wanted to connect to a local Tribe. That tribe was the Lummi Indians of Puget Sound and the Carvers led by Jewell James. The first evening I went to the reservation I took in a sunset at the jetty and met Scott walking some dogs there. He was a carver/sculpturer and he connected me with Jewell from that meet up. Jewell James had led the Carvers in creating a Healing Totem Pole for the victims of 9/11. That Healing Pole was brought cross country and made many stops along the way at Indian Reservations for Blessings. The government wanted Jewell and the Lummi to leave the Totem at the pentagon, but it was not to be. Jewell had already planned and arranged to leave it at Arrow Park in the Sterling Forest in New York which was considered a Sister Spirit Energy Forest of the Lummi's Sacred Arlecho Creek Forest in Washington near their reservation.

I looked into the history of the Lummi at Rick's on the computer and somehow found a link to The Sacred Earth Network in my own state of Massachusetts. This became a spiritual rhythm of this part of my journey. I made a commitment with them to go to Chaco Canyon in the early fall by phone from Washington.
Bill, of Sacred Earth, had a strong connection with all of this. His Father was caretaker at Arrow Park for years and became a part owner there and Bill knew Sterling Forest well as a child. When I told him my story when we went to Chaco Canyon that fall he basically said, "Dan, I think that Healing Pole is at Arrow Park, we'll have to look into that when we get back, I have a meeting to go to there and You can come along if you like."
Well, I did, and it was there. I made a 'powerful and wonderful connection and offering with it".
Bill and I walked the forest at the park after his meeting and we found countless young pine trees that were planted for each of the victims of 9/11 with pictures and notes attached...it was a humbling and emotional spiritual connection and healing for us and those happenings in New York in 2001.
