Lion's Gate

 

This coming Friday, August 8^th, 8/8, will be the peak of the energetic alignment called the Lion’s Gate.  This is an annual alignment between the Earth, our Sun, and the star Sirius.  This alignment creates a potent portal for spiritual transformation and spiritual growth.  Even thought the 8^th is the peak, this alignment started on July 26 and will end on August 12. 

The energy from Sirius will be amplified at this time.  The ancient Egyptians had a strong connection to Sirius, as evidenced by their temple art and ceremonies.  It was the celestial manifestation of the goddess Isis.  When it first rose above the horizon in early August, after being below the horizon from the middle of May, it indicated the start of the flooding of the Nile.  A very special time indeed for the ancient Egyptians. 

I was on Malta a few months ago, and all of the ancient megalithic temples there were built with their central passageways pointing towards either the rising or setting of Sirius as seen looking south across the Mediterranean Sea.

Whatever your connection with Sirius may be, this will be a very potent day for meditation, introspection, and setting intentions.  There will be increased spiritual awareness, enhanced intuition, and a deeper connection to one’s inner self.  Please take some time for meditation or ceremony on Friday.  Take advantage of the powerful energy that will be available.  I am assuming that a few days before and a few days after will be quite powerful, too. 

I have a strong connection to the Sirian High Council, and hope to unite with that group on Friday.  In fact, during one of my visits to Egypt years ago, I traveled to them while laying in the sarcophagus of the King’s chamber in the Great Pyramid.  That was quite an experience. 

If you have any interesting experiences, feel free to comment below.  Perhaps you will hear from me again, too! 

The Cosmic Web

 

Lately, I have been mulling over the concept of “time”.  It is of course a construct of the 3rd and 4^th dimension.  When we work with past lives, ancestor patterns, traumas of the past, memories, cause and effect, history, etc, from our perspective, we are dealing with the stream of time.  Once one takes a perspective that is above all of that, time no longer exists.  Can we live from that higher perspective on a daily basis and still lead productive lives here?  I am not sure. 

I do a lot of walking, and quite often get into an altered state while doing so. The other day, I asked to be shown what it is like to be totally in the now moment and outside of time at the same time.  I then watch as my physical reality faded away to be replaced by what I am calling the “Cosmic Web”.  I was floating in a space that was full of these very thin and translucent crisscross threads that formed a grid like pattern.  I briefly looked down at my body only to watch it fade away.  Because I was walking, it was impossible to hang on to this scene.  I did get a good glimpse and impression of it, though, and plan to explore further. 

One might also call this the web of consciousness.  There are connections all over the place.  Thoughts can travel instantaneously from one place to another without the constraints of time.  Quantum entanglement cones into play here, too, where what happens to one particle is reflected in the identical reaction of the other and entangled particle. 

There is a concept of the “Time Weaver”, as someone who can sense, stretch or collapse time lines at will.  The concept here is that time is malleable and can be manipulated and shifted for one’s own uses.  Imagine what life would be like if one had that ability. 

Back when I was training students in the practices of Peruvian Shamanism during classes in Cortez, Colorado, the topic of “folding the road” came up.  Several students had described instances of traveling from point A to point B on the highway in a time frame that was much shorter than would be expected, sometimes by many hours.  They had no idea on how that had happened.  I now surmise that their Time Weaver archetype had been activated.  BTW, alien abductees often describe the same thing.  The time between when they were taken and when they were dropped off does not equate to what they perceived as an actual time frame.   I suspect that there are many off planet races that have mastered the manipulation of time, in addition to using the fold the road process to move from point A to point B instantaneously.

An example of this would be if you take a piece of paper and mark an X on one spot, and mark another X on another spot.  If you then fold the paper so that the X's connect, you have folded the road.  There is essentially no space between the connected X's!  

Years ago, I read a book entitled “Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness” by Itzhak Bentov.  It was first published in 1977, and then republished in 1988 by his wife years after his death.  I still have my 1988 copy.  Amazingly, Amazon still has this book for sale!  What Bentov wrote was pure genius, and he was way ahead of his time in the study of consciousness.  He was killed in a plane crash in 1979, and unfortunately the world never got the chance to find out what other cutting edge information he would have imparted.

Considering my level of evolution and understanding back then, I probably did not get most of what he wrote.  I do remember one thing after all of these years.  When describing the pendulum that is referred to in the title of the book, he determined that at the end of the pendulum’s swing before it started its motion in the return direction, there was a millisecond of no motion, which caused a no time event.  During this no motion/no time event, the whole cosmos opened up.  It is during this millisecond that one could experience their infinite and omnipresent nature.  In other words, experience who we truly are as creator beings.  How powerful! 

So, I encourage each of you to do your best to be in the now at all times.  This is your no time zone, where past and future are not concerns.  This is when the omnipresent you can create your divine life in the here and now.

Annual Car Show

Yesterday, here in Cedar City, we had our annual Jamboree and antique car show.  In past years I posted photos of some of the more interesting cars.  Just for kicks and a change of pace, here are the very fun license plates that I saw.  Enjoy.    

 

Fireworks

 

This past July 4th, I was invited to view the fireworks from a friend's back yard.  I was much closer to the action than in previous years, so the photos were better.  Here are a few.  Hope your holiday was fabulous!  

Summer Solstice Part 2

 

After experiencing 2+ days of high winds here, I finally got out to the Parowan Gap to do my Summer Solstice ceremony last night, Sunday the 22nd.  There were quite a few people out there as well, probably also waiting for the weather to calm down.  There is a forest fire burning in the mountains southwest of Cedar City, and the prevailing winds have been sending the dense smoke right into town.  Fortunately, the Gap is northwest of town, and the smoke in the air there was minimal.  You could still smell it a bit.  It reminded me of being near a campground with cooking fires burning.

Here is a photo taken from my back yard on Saturday night, the night before.  Quite dramatic.

As I usually do for the Summer Solstice, I prepare a medicine bundle as an offering to bury somewhere on that sacred ground.  My intent is to call in the monsoon rains, which is what I suspect the Fremont and Paiute Indians did there, too.  When I got there I just wandered around until I was guided to the correct spot to bury the bundle.   Imagine my surprise to find a sturdy post under a juniper tree with a metal box and a metal sculpture of Kokopelli on it!  Even though I have visited this area frequently, I had never seen that before.  Of course, that is where I buried my medicine bundle, under that juniper tree. 

Here are a few pronghorns up on a nearby hill.  BTW—they are the second fastest land animal in the world! The cheetah is number one.  

Further wandering as the sun began to set led me to a place where some intrepid soul had left an offering of flowers the night before.  I am happy that I am not the only one who honors this sacred place on this occasion.

Here are some photos of the progression of the sunset.

The real magic of this place involves the sun going down into the Gap, for solstices as well as equinoxes.  This whole process serves to concentrate the sun’s rays to make them more powerful.  As I was standing there, I called to me the powerful energy of the sun.  One of the newer members of my “team” then just showed up.  I had seen this being several times recently, but now I had more details.  He is a solar being from the center of our sun.  He is here to assist me in radiating my own solar energy out from my heart area to everyone and everything around me.  So nice. 

Finally, the sun slipped behind some clouds at the horizon. 

Happy Solstice everyone!  Hope you had a good one.
