The Latest Utah Adventure

 

For the past few weeks, my friend Elz has been staying with our friend Peter here in Cedar City.  We have had some marvelous adventures, and a few days ago, Elz and I did a road trip north of here into west central Utah.  Our destination was the Fremont Indian State Park, which is located in the Clear Creek Canyon along Interstate 70 near Sevier.  The Fremont Indians were contemporaries of the Ancestral Puebloans of the Four Corners area, and perhaps inhabited this area a bit later. 

The park and museum opened in 1987 around the time that interstate 70 was built.  It features camping, hiking and lots of trails.  The highlight is the absolute abundance of rock art that is all over the place, consisting of petroglyphs and pictographs. 

Now, I am used to seeing rock art mainly on sandstone in the southwest, but this rock art was different.  Many millions of years ago, local volcanoes erupted, covering this whole area with tens of feet of volcanic material in the form of tuff.  Tuff is fairly soft as far as rocks go, and it is easy to carve into.  Unfortunately, because of this, it erodes very easily, too.  So some of the petroglyphs were easy to see, and many others were pretty rough because of the erosion. 

Elz and I stopped in at the park museum at the end of our first day to get the lay of the land, before checking into our hotel in Richfield, east on the highway.  With an early start the next day, we methodically drove from site to site and covered as much of the rock art sites as we could.  Most of them were along Clear Creek Road and involved short hikes and scrambles up steep slopes.  The effort was certainly worth it!  Below is some of the rock art that we saw. 

On down the road was the Sheep Shelter Site.  Archaeologists excavated down to the bottom of this alcove and found a hearth dating back to 3700 B.C.  Wow!  The rock art below consists of bighorn sheep and a scorpion.  It was not visible from the front of the shelter.  To photograph it, I had to stick my arm and camera through the bars of the fence and shoot angled upwards and back towards me.  You can see a bit of the top of the fence in the photo.

Across the road and way up the slope was the pictograph called "Indian Blanket".

The next site was called the "Arch of Art".  Below is a video of the very extensive rock formation that is just covered with art!

Here is some of the rock art that we spied on the flat surfaces, nooks and crannies.

We then crossed over Clear Creek and under the interstate to the "Cave of 100 Hands".

We had been driving along the road towards the museum from the east, looking at all of the sites, and decided to stop there for some shopping and a snack.  There are numerous hiking trails leading up slope from the back of the building, and we decided to take a trail up to what was labeled as a meditation spiral.  I have to say that this was one of the highlights of the whole trip!  After hiking quite a ways above the road below, here it was.  Elz and I both did a walking meditation in the spiral, and I definitely felt the spirits of the ancestors of the land while I did so.  I do not know how old this spiral was, but it definitely needed to be fed energetically by people walking it in a sacred manner.  It felt a bit depleted.  We were very happy to energize it once again!

After saying goodby to the delightful ladies at the museum, our final stop was at Newspaper Rock. BTW, there is also a Newspaper Rock at Canyonlands south of Moab, Utah.  The hallmark of these 2 sites is the dense amount of rock art packed into a relatively small space.  To see this here, we had to look across the road and very far up the slope.  I have a 30X zoom on my camera, and I needed every bit of that to see the petroglyph panel. I've cropped and enhanced the photo on the bottom so that you can see the density of the rock art.

On our way back to Cedar City, we stopped at the Crazy Cow in Beaver for some lunch.  Needless to say, I was pretty tired after 2 days of adventure, and skipped my Zoom Zumba class that evening! 

New Link for Workshops

                                       

Rise Multiversity has  hosted quite a few workshops since I did my "Tools for Transition" series for them.  A while back it had come to my attention that my workshops may have been hard to find in their store.  Adrian, who handles all of their website changes, provided a link to all of my workshops so now they are easy to find.  This link is also now on my web site, www.QuantumStargate.com, on the workshop page.  Here is the link! 

Ceremony in the Desert

 

A dear friend of mine, Elz, is visiting here from the west coast for a few weeks.  Yesterday was our first opportunity to go hiking, so I took her to one of my favorite trail systems, where there are clear indications of the ancestral Puebloans that lived there many hundreds of years ago. 

The trailhead is for the White Reef Trail, and it is about 30 miles south of Cedar City.   We ended up hiking on 2 additional trails in the area. 

I have written about this route before, and about the big rock art panel and the other nearby ceremonial sites.  When I hiked there a few weeks ago, I really made an effort to tune in and tie all of this into an energetic ceremony that I could take people to.  Elz is the first one to partake.

The first stop was the rock art panel.  It sits high up on the White Ridge, which is a white sandstone formation.  The actual rock that the petroglyphs are located on is orangey sandstone, with a large overhang above, creating shelter from some of the elements. 

Once up there, we could see why the petroglyphs were where they were.  One can see for miles and miles north, east and south.  My impression is that this was a lookout and a signaling area to alert and attract people from the surroundings to come for a gathering.  There are some ruins of habitations in the immediate area, but not on this ridge. 

After admiring the view and tuning into the energy of that place, we proceeded to climb back down onto another trail, the Leeds Reef Trail.  I have written about the sites here before, but I have now clarified the energetic impact of each one and combined them into an energetic process.  They are also located across and slightly south of the rock art panel, with a small valley in between.

The next stop yesterday was at the propped up rock with the band of caliche around it. 

Clearly, one side (left) had been laying on the ground with the other side (right) exposed to the elements.  Who propped it up and when, it is hard to tell.  Interesting that it is the only rock like that in the whole area.  So I tuned in the last time I was there, and determined that symbolically and energetically, the side that had been in the dirt represents our unconscious shadow self, and the exposed and craggy side represents our conscious self.  The band around the middle is the limen, or the border between the two. 

So Elz and I simultaneously stood at either end of the stone and put one hand on the unconscious side, and one on the conscious side.  Intents were to bring the shadow to light to be easily accessible for processing, and also to balance the dark and the light within our own energy fields.  This process felt very solid and positive.

Then on to the next site, which was an area of exposed rock surface on the ground encircled by smaller stones.  Interesting, that from this angle, it looks heart shaped.  You can see the trail to the right, so clearly it is not hidden from public view.

I had tracked this spot on a previous visit as having a vortex in the center that came up from inside the earth.  In addition, the energy from the sun gets drawn down from above.  This is a recharging station for the energy field.  I stepped in, and then Elz took her turn.  A feeling of clarity and higher vibrational energy was felt there. 

The last location that we stopped at was where the male (right) and female (left) stones that I had discovered last year were located. 

One of the tip offs for me last year that this was a sacred site was the bowl shaped depression that was carved into the top of the female stone.  I encountered a similar pair of boulders in SE Utah, with the same depression in the female stone.  As I always did in that other place, I left an offering here at the female stone yesterday.  Elz and I took turns placing our left hand on the female stone, while at the same time, placing our right hand on the male stone.  Clearly this spot was for leaving offerings to the Earth Mother, but also to balance the male and female within one’s own energy field. 

Now, I do not know if this is exactly how the ancients used these sites, but I am certain that if I am able to bring more people there to experience these rituals, that will enhance and exponentially increase the energy, and make it more potent for all. 

I am also convinced that something marvelous yet subtle happened there, as I woke up this morning in the best mood ever. I joined Paul Smith's current class of remote viewing students for a field trip and lunch later in the day.  Tired but still feeling good!  

 

 

 

 

April Launch

A few hours ago, our on line group gathered for our monthly launching.  There were 4 of us, including myself.  We still plan on having our May launch, which will be during Memorial Day weekend. 

We started out with a lively discussion on the issues with the COVID 19 vaccine.  In particular, we talked about how to handle things energetically if one chooses to or is required to get it.  First of all, make sure that you are grounded and with your core essence fully expanded before you get the injection.  You can also project yourself to the actual chemical to neutralize it so that you are merely getting an injection of saline.  That is what one of our launchers did, as she was pressured to get it for her job.  Keep yourself expanded during the actual procedure.  Afterwards, you can also push the energy of that chemical out of your body by expanding your core essence and raising your vibration as high as it will go.  If you think that you have been exposed to the virus, and that your immunity is not that good, you can use the above method to push the patterning of the virus out of your body, too.  

I was required to get a yellow fever vaccine before my trip to Bolivia in 2015.  Here is the link to how I handled that event. 

The thing to remember is that we are totally in charge of us.  We are totally in charge of what happens to us, and how we react.  This is one aspect of our lives here that we really need to acknowledge if we are intent on having this be our last incarnation in the 4 D arena!

So on to the launching.  After each person is launched, that person gives a report, and the rest of us add anything else that we experienced while tracking that person.  This time, I was launched last, and my intent was to gather information regarding some difficulties with interpersonal interactions with others. 

Keep in mind that each launchee gets visuals, body sensations, emotions, etc, during their journey, and they interpret this information in their own way.  I always get mainly visuals.  Today, it took a bit of effort on my part to really get going, too.  Once I was on my way, I looked behind me and noticed that I was dragging many people behind me as I flew upwards.  They were attached to me via very thin thread like strings.  The strings quickly dissolved, and as I moved upwards, the people fell behind.

Then, I found myself in a realm where there were many others positioned side by side to me.  We were all on the same level, and their energy fields were multicolored in various ways.  Cool!  That felt very nice. 

Finally, I found myself soaking in a pool of somewhat thick dark grey liquid.  It was dark outside, and there was a glowing orb in the sky.  The pool was composed of individuals that were merging into and separating from each other, including me.  This is where I spent most of my time during my journey before being called back.  It was quite a unique feeling to be merging with others, and to have parts of them merging with me.  It was actually quite pleasant. 

So getting back to my original intent, I realized that I can relate to other individuals on several different levels.  There is the arena where we are all separate from one another, and act and react to others from that viewpoint.  I also saw that there is the “me” that wants to drag others along on my path.  That definitely does not serve me!

Then there is a level where we are all separate but equal at the same time.  That felt good.  And finally, there is the me/us that is one being, merging and separating with the flow.  I realized that by honoring the “others” as parts of me, every interaction will be productive and harmonious.  That is a great way to relate to the world. 

Happy Earth Day

Today, April 22, 2021 is Earth Day.  Hope you can go outside and put your feet on the ground.  Honor the Earth Mother today and every day, because she provides everything that we need for our embodiment here.  If not for her, our souls would have ended up in some other reality having a very different experience!  Below are some photos of botany trips that I have taken in the past few weeks, from the Mojave Desert to Zion National Park and beyond.

Our local birding festival is going on this week, and I will be participating the next 2 days.  In the mean time, here are 2 of our local desert birds that are singing their hearts out during mating season.  Mockingbird and rock wren.
