Excerpts from The Quantum Awakening Newsletter by Gillian MacBeth-Louthan October 2017
I love the lush descriptions expressed by Gillian as she weaves her abstract, multidimensional web! ~PB
Excerpts from The Quantum Awakening Newsletter
Excerpts from The Quantum Awakening Newsletter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From your Hostess of Light
As dimensional Rifts become an everyday flotation device we find ourselves saline/sailing down new corridors of time as well as spacial expansion. What was long sought within self, within history, and within land, now slowly erodes by passing earth law and comes to the surface. We have become light Navigators in striations of light that we never knew existed. We are at a cumulative point of coming face-to-face with many aspects of our self on a DNA ancestral level that we personally do not want to admit to.
Days and nights dance together as 24 hours seems to have shorten itself into a more concise pinpoint of energy. Like lights slowly dimming in a great hall, one does not always feel or sense the change or shift when sitting in the swings of time. . What we see in this new sea of light is yet to be formed like a Loch Ness monster that seeks refuge. Each human has developed bifocal lens Allowing them to see dimensionally, allowing them to see into the past and future riding the time slips as earths restorative resonance is changed to fit incoming shifts. Each experience is deciphered with a different code a different program a different index. no two can be compared, like roses in a garden, each has a unique color and scent. Many have become prickly pear of nature as what was one stuffed Rises to the surface to be seen in a sharpness and Clarity that may be too much for most humans.
Love and forgiveness are a great Salve for anything God has created and should be applied generously. Like a wounded lion any criticism could be dangerous, as humanity sees its old wounds and battle scars in the light of a fresh day. The Child of Light that lives within each person seeks to float to the surface effortlessly like an island that has been birthed in the night. The skin of the soul is sensitive, seeking solitude. The being of Light within wishes to come to the surface, like a message in a bottle it wants to be found and opened. Save our souls, SOS, means so much more than what one can write in the sand. For without the souls of the human species a great part of the universe would be void of life
For it is not a lie that is written that you have the grace of creation, the love of the creator, a great light that lives within as a guideline. All species are aligned with creation but not all species have the developmental ability to love, to weep, to pray, and to mourn. Humanity is truly and deeply loved by that which first gave it light and life. Even though parents would never admit it there is always a favorite child amongst the siblings and the children of earth are just that.
As the good within humanities heart flails about in its own Sea of Confusion, ancient codes come to the surface, codes of Honor, codes of Truth, codes of the heart and great promises to be kept. The very word promise itself has the vibration of two joining hands joining hearts and joining lights in a comradeship that should hold Through Time. Promises we made to ourselves from Years Gone by now fly by higher than our ability to see. No longer are we bound to what we once promised our god and ourselves. We are set free to ignite a new line of light, a new passion a new creative fire and Drive.
We all come around the blind corner face-to-face with all dimensional aspects of our own learning and teachings. Everything now mirrors what we need to address. Most days would like to just stay home and board the window shut but life demands and she always gets what she wants. Is seeing believing or is the believing in the seeing? So many truths from so many times come forth to show themselves. All are Full of Truth and proof but still most do not believe. Humanity is in a Hologram of its own making. Everyday humanity slices and dices that picture thru every thought every word and every action, changing the format, coloration and saturation of the pixels of one’s life..
As we come closer to the holy days and the holidays of 2017 we are in a place to receive and give blessings. The skins of so many are newborn of nature everything has been rough on the human senses causing sensitivity and biological upheavals. The holidays comes to heal with the Salve of the season infused with love and kindness. For the Holiness that walks the Earth increases exponentially offering a multitude of Miracles and appearance of light-filled beings. Humanity does not believe as it once did, this causes a deterioration in the soul. Believing is a Powerful feature of humanity. The ability to believe in the Invisible, to believe in miracles and to believe and trust in each other, is a powerful medicine for personal and planetary healing.

Teaching of Lake Quashita Crystal Lake, Mt Ida Arkansas
Teaching of Lake Quashita Crystal Lake, Mt Ida Arkansas
This Lake of many Mysteries and a deep unknown Beauty houses entrances and exits to all the sacred Lakes Through Time. From Lake Titicaca to Loch Ness to the isle of Avalon. For all sacred earth portals, entrances and exits through time and Circumstance are hallowed and will open when One fully Believes fully in their heart and Realm.
All of life responds to your intention, to the pulse of your blood, to the beat of the love that lives in your heart. Whether one walks through the woods, flies through the air or walks Upon a Shore, every living aspect is aligned with each step that you take knowingly and unknowingly.
This Lake that shimmer and Reflects, rippling through time and space, offers you entrance into a sacred doorway that you have not experienced since living in the stars. like one that is baptized you need but one contact with this sacred lake in order to wear the blessings and codes that are needed for healing. High priestesses and sacred ones of old always knew of these intersecting Realms of magic and mystical undertakings and under tows. You have been beckoned to align with something that is of a truly liquid Holy vibration, a matrix of magic, power and strength
You have been coated with this armor of Truth, which often seems a burden, since birth. The time now Proclaims for you to relinquish the need to keep the Old Mission floating on the surface of the tumultuous seas. the needs and wants of Earth and her inhabitants have changed in their circumference and demands creating a new design. Mankind has surpassed that was foreseen in past prophecy. Many of the Realms and choices will continue to play out and play through the dramas of life and Earth herself. However the very crystalline grid of earth shifts in nature, as what is below, upon and above adjusts their encodings to fill the cup of a new creation.
In upcoming times multiple Threats will come from external sources, both natural and manmade. the inner crystalline structure of earth when fully activated will create a faraday type of effect extending itself around the planet protection network. Taking life both serious and with a deep reverent love is necessary at this intersection of time. Life has been sketchy, glitchy & unpredictable life and is to be honored in all of her colors and choices
The gifts of the Creator are abundant on Earth and are to be seen as such. Everything is precious every thought is a consideration and every heartbeat is important. The ladies of the lake that are magical of appearance and belongings come forth gliding like an avatar from realm to Realm allowing the mists to carry them in an otherworldly way that both protects them and allows them to be seen.
See your light and heart and intention burst into a beautiful light, as they look at each that stands before them. Sisters of old and Sisters of the future are bound together in goodness and light. .Face to face you come with that which seeks to know you and that which you seek to know as well. Holding the higher vibration of a magical understanding allows it to be cemented in the cloud so to speak held in stasis until another wishes to visit the place of magic. The magic of all that is feminine through time and space will issue itself, like a cloak of invisibility or a Shaw of healing it wraps around you issuing a decree of sovereignty through understanding.
When you enter this sacred lake this Sanctuary and Liquid Cosmic Gateway you must enter with a humble heart in a place of giving and receiving simultaneously like a vessel that is empty and filled in the same moment of time. Expectations should always be grand of light, hosting all avenues of possibility, yet humility is needed as what you seek is below ground, below water and below your soles.
A lifting shall occur and like an island that is lifted up by a lost continent all will be seen like magic. The Mother Earth takes from her children with great regret like a teacher disciplining children that have gone astray. Discipline is needed when in uncharted waters, as that which is invisible comes to the surface quickly. Don’t judge the landscape or watery terrain by maps of old for the lines of light are living in nature and restructure themselves in accordance with geometries that the earth heart needs to repair herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Birth a new world from old wants and needs
As the thickness of earth starts to lesson it is a wise and formidable thought to act as if you have landed upon a dessert isle far from the land of plenty, A place where you are parched for nourishment. What was once plenty has dwindled in size and does not have the ability to recreate itself as it once did. As Earth becomes a star her matter will diminish as its DNA shifts into a higher particulate. Earth will become curious in nature not reproducing herself in the same way. Matter in its densest form is released to the ethers where it will seek to become stardust again.
Each earthly element awakens from a long sleep of discontentment forcing humanity into a corner of slim pickings. Wanting more is habitual of nature doe the 2-legged ones. The essence of more has left the planet as it too seeks to become more.
You have asked to be in the moment – not in the past, not in the future. In this earthly now so much comes at you that you can neither move forward or back like one who is caught in a riptide. The now fits like a dress too small squeezing the very life out of you as your very light expands. The Earth herself grows weak and weary now as she changes matter into light.
Humanity needs to embrace the quality of their individual light – in doing so new thresholds of invitation rewrite themselves announcing the innate ability to take thoughts, encircle them in light, and bring them into matter form thus replenishing the dwindling resources. The resources will not come from the Earth herself as she readies for her new role as a star. The resources come from the minds and the needs of humanity.
Like a great magician you have the ability to call into matter what is needed. Once upon a different time your Mother Earth fed your needs now you are called forward to feed the needs of many in a deep creative form of manifestation.
Treasure each element, each drop of water, the shade from a tree. Treasure what was once thought of as plenty and live accordingly. Your needs grow deeper and the land is fiery and dry – from whence will the light and nourishment come.
The solution lies within your heart and thoughts. Birth a new world from old wants and needs. The Mother that once sustained you moves away from you. Left in this dark forest of thoughts how will you survive the night of the soul. Look for new possibilities, see with an open heart and create always from a point of love. The future, dear child, I leave with you Love Mother Earth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You have come undone and in that discharge you have seen yourself
Welcome daughters of the land, daughters of what is yet to come. We see your exquisite light as it shines brilliantly upon the earth like a star. We are the Pleiadian frequencies. We are your future, we are your past and we are everything in between. You are sculpted from our vibration as we are integrated with yours. We are brothers and sisters of light. Who you once were and who you will become are dancing partners that are destined to meet. Each of you unfolds as the origami of your soul expresses new characteristics.
You have become undone and in that discharge you have seen yourself exposed naked and without boundaries. You have seen the possibilities that exist for you as you mourn the loss of the old you. You mourn who you once were, who you were supposed to become.
You ask, ‘what about my light work, what about my soul mate, what about my mission?’ Your mission is not something that you become; it is something that you are. Stop separating yourself from this beautiful world for she needs your frequencies; she needs to know that you yearn for light as does she. She needs to know that you too do not find the fullness of time in a day to take a breath and pause and give thanks. Within you is a portal of creation. Each one you is a mirror reflection of the potential of the other. And as you embrace each others unique configuration of light. it is in this fullness of time that you shall navigate the light of your future.

Ailia Mira: Your Mind Can Be Open, Radiant, and Stabilize Your Life -AA Michael
Your Mind Can Be Open, Radiant, and Stabilize Your Life
Message from Archangel Michael & the Council of Radiant Light ~ Channeled by Ailia Mira
Hello, Divine Ones,
We greet you in love. Today, we are so happy and excited to talk with you about your mindset, and today, we want to invite you to consider that the real way you create your life and you engage light skillfully is by creating the state, the conditions, the environment of your mind.
You create your experience of your mind. Your mind has the capacity to be and to express in many different ways. Think of your mind as the combination of your brain and your eternal consciousness. It's the way you know your experience, and the experience that you have depends on how you create your mind or your mindset.
The reason it matters to do this intentionally is that your mind can be something which gives you pleasure or pain. You've all experienced this. You've all had those nights when you wake up, and you're stressed about something, and your mind makes you crazy. You tend to attribute your experience to your mind less when you're feeling positive, but when you're feeling incredible, that's because in your mind too, it's because of your capacity to receive an experience based on your mindset, and all of this is within your control.
Today, we want to talk about this because your mind can be open and radiant or congested and depressing. Your mindset is developing all the time and it's completely of your own making so you can shape it any way you like. Creating a mind that is shiny and open and available to high frequencies and discovering what it's like to live with that is way to know who you really are.
What if the way you think shaped your mind? What if, what you paid attention to shaped your mind? What if what you invested your energy in became established in your mind? What if what you stopped paying attention to just fell out of your mind, was no longer active or present? Well, that is how it works.
You create your mind, and your mind entirely shapes your experience. There's two aspects to your mind that we want to speak about. There's the autopilot part that happens without effort, and there's the conscious, intentional part, and we want to give you an example of how that might be beneficial for you and what you can do to shape both parts of your mind in ways that elevate your life.
This morning Ailia saw this ad on Facebook. It was for a retreat with the Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön, who she likes, so she watched the video, and the video for the retreat had Pema telling a very simple story. This is the story she told.
She was talking about how your viewpoint can change, and we're going to build on this, so let us tell you this short story.
You wake up, and you're in bed, and you're inside a house, and it's raining, and because you're inside the house, you hear the sound of the rain on the roof. It's a very beautiful sound, and you've just woken up, and you hear the rain, and it fills you with peace and joy.
Then she says, "Now, if you have an outdoor wedding plan for today, wouldn't your response be different?"
Yes, and this is where what you've invested in matters. If you have an outdoor wedding plan for today, and you wake up to the sound of rain, you might be inclined to be upset or unhappy or angry, and as Pema pointed out in the video, you discover how the way you think shapes the way you feel.
We want to take this further. Of course, in this example, your viewpoint relative to what you had planned for the day and what you woke up to is part of what's going to be in play. This is where it gets really interesting and has to do with your mindset because if, if you're a person who has been practicing a mindset of ease and cultivating thoughts that things go your way. If you've been building positive ascending momentum, you might find that you enjoy the rain and expect it to stop before the wedding, leaving the air clear and fresh and everything sparkling and clean and beautiful.
See the difference? If you've been feeling and thinking that life isn't going your way, if you've got descending momentum going on, and you haven't been cultivating the environment of your mind, you might very easily get very angry, and also use this manifest experience as fuel to further that unhappy pattern of thought by thinking, "Oh my gosh, here's yet another thing that isn't working out for me."
Do you feel the difference in the momentum that gets furthered by your response to this, and do you see how your existing momentum might come into play automatically or intentionally in every moment of your experience? Of course, you do because you're smart.
You realize now that only you can create this momentum in your life, and that you're doing it. You're creating your mindset in the state of your mind day in, day out. The state of your mind has to do with your frequency and how you're focused in your state of alignment, and you can change this. You can change it. You can change it at any time in any moment.
We've often made the suggestion to interrupt things and to let go of what's going on, to interrupt what's not feeling good, to reach for anything that gives you a little relief. We go further with this right now by saying any investment you make in a positive mindset benefits you.
Any time in your day, you can tell yourself something nice, something positive, something cheerful, something uplifting, something unconditional, even. Every time you do this, you are fostering beneficial ways of using your attention, and you're investing your focus in ways that create your mind in open, spacious, elevated expression.
Your mind can be a temple. Your mind can be a temple, a beautiful light-filled space in which divine, high-frequency light flows in, and when your mind functions like this, you feel nourished and held, loved, supported, connected, resourced, abundant, free.
Your mind can be this sanctuary of incredible steady empowerment. Your mind is capable of that. Your mind can give you a feeling of safety and stability. Your mind is capable of being created in a way that elevates and inspires you consistently. It can be the source of you feeling fabulous moment after moment after moment, and you can achieve that kind of state and that experience by investing in our mindset in ways that feel good.
Your mind can be your ally, but like all relationships, your mind thrives when it's treated with respect. When you respect and understand the power of your mind, you use it to create an environment that is receptive and in accord, in harmony, in resonance with elevated frequencies, and you do this by thinking elevated thoughts.
You honor yourself and your mind by no longer giving into lower frequency patterns of thought. Even though they might come up and even though they might seem so easy and familiar, when they do come up, you refuse to invest further in them, and when you notice they come up, you pivot. You withdraw your attention from them. You turn, instead, toward something that serves you a little more, something that really honors and respects you, in your thinking.
This is wisdom, dear friends, and this is loving yourself. This is honoring yourself and using what you've remembered and your know-how to be the best version of you here that you can be. This is taking excellent care of your mind because your mind creates your experience, and the environment of your mind matters. You can shape it for yourself in a way that's extremely beneficial, and it's a tremendous gift to everyone else when you respect and honor yourself in this way.
Of course, you're free to live in whatever way you choose, but we feel certain that given your tendency to co-create with us that you, too, are interested in being here as a conduit of clarity, as a beacon of light and joy, as a presence of fulfillment and love and coherence and clarity. We know that you want to have a wonderful life and that you aspire to even better experiences.
Well, all of that can happen. It's all possible. It's not even hard. It's not even hard because no matter where you are and no matter how it's going, and no matter how it's been going, or no matter what has already happened, what's happening next is all about what's happening right now.
What is happening right now in your mind, and how are you going to feed your mind today? How are you going to relate to your mind today thinking about and understanding what we're sharing here?
What kind of momentum are you going to build? What are you going to create? Every moment is a fresh start. Use it that way. Use it that way. Use your mind to encourage and support you with positive thought. Understand that you're free to choose whatever you want to think about and what you invest your energy in.
When you say even the simplest elevating things to yourself such as, "Hey, we're doing really great. Let's keep going. Let's stay with it." That alone is so simple, and it makes your life better, and it fosters a more positive mindset. It's really so simple to live, enjoy, and create unconditionally. Light flows at your command, but you have to do it. You have to embrace your freedom of focus.
Now, you've learned this, you felt it, and today, we invite you to realize your mind is of our own making, and when you not only invest in thinking positive thoughts in the present, but realize what you invest in creates patterns and habits that serves you, you make life so much easier because this is how things change and improve in big ways.
Imagine how far you can go when the thoughts you think intentionally are positive and encouraging and hopeful and aligned with what you want. AND the thoughts that happen on autopilot start to be the new ones you're establishing and also building through positive patterns of thought.
That is liberation, and that is living skillfully and wisely and letting the way your beautiful mind works work for you, allowing yourself to create a mindset that stabilizes your life and serves your joy. If you've never considered this a priority before, we invite you today to do so.
We are complete.

Managing Fire of Emotions -Feelings & Tensions Riding High- by Selacia
Managing Fire of Emotions
-Feelings & Tensions Riding High-
by Selacia
Feelings and tensions are riding high in these moments ahead of Equinox. The emotional content of conversations, on and offline, is escalating as people from all walks of life attempt to cope with our changing and increasingly unpredictable world. Continue reading to understand what this means for you, and some things you can do now to ease the tensions.
Background
Energies have become more intense in recent days, in part because of planetary line-ups but also related to the accumulation of emotional distress felt across the planet. Some of this distress is directly linked to natural disasters occurring in places like the USA, Nepal, and India.
When we have large-scale disasters such as these, you can feel distress even if you live far away. You don't need to have lived through such a disaster to feel empathy for others coping with them now.
DNA-Level Memories
Here's another factor. Seeing what others are coping with after a hurricane also can stir unconscious DNA-level memories of a past life when you faced a disaster. You don't need to be consciously aware of the memory for it to impact you in the present.
We've all had experiences with disasters in some lifetime, and when memories of these get triggered in present time, they bring up our very basic survival issues. As we process those, we can feel anxious and on edge. When our brain processes thoughts and memories, a chemical reaction happens in our body - regardless of whether the thoughts and memories are real in the moment, something we imagine might happen to us in the future, or something that we experienced in a past life.
When I'm working with someone in a private DNA session - processing survival issues as noted above - they will show up in the akashic field around the DNA. Brought to awareness, they can be understood and healed.
Helping Yourself, Helping Others
Consider this. At the mass consciousness level, we are interconnected in a quantum way.
That's one reason why when you heal something in yourself, you can help heal your ancestors and even the whole of humanity.
Similarly, when humanity's ancient survival issues are catalyzed by disasters and wars, you sometimes can feel these survival issues arise within you. The feelings, which may not make logical sense, can seem to come out of nowhere and throw you off track.
Emotions that you didn't even know you had can erupt like a volcano, sometimes at a very inconvenient time.
One way you can help yourself and others is by being more mindful of thoughts. A disturbing or unsettling thought can stir a whole pile of destructive emotions like anger. Strive to self-censor thoughts more during these volatile times. Only you in the moment can notice a thought and censor it before it backfires in your emotional body - becoming a weapon that can hurt you or someone else.
When destructive emotions arise despite your best efforts, take the time to diffuse the feelings before you speak or send your next text.
The more that you can find your calm zone on any given day, the greater help you can be to others around you. Most likely you have noticed that tumultuous emotions like anger, when expressed 1-on-1 or within a group, can be "catching." Ever noticed after spending time with someone expressing anger that you feel an emotional disturbance?
Couple Share an Angry War of Words
Here's an example of something I experienced in my usually quiet neighborhood - I live at the top of a high hill with homes down below. Sound carries, so sometimes I can hear things far away.
I was meditating one evening during a recent Full Moon. A couple living in a house below me began having an angry war of words. I don't know the couple. I couldn't see them, but I could hear them. I'm sure that they didn't realize anyone could hear them. While I tried to block it out by shutting the window, the shouting was very loud. I could intuitively sense that the man and woman in the argument were partners and that they had had the very same argument many times.
The woman said, for example: "You never change. You leave me a mess to clean up. I pay all the bills and you just ran up my credit card to the limit without asking." The man, who said very little the whole time except expletives, at one point said: "I won't take this, I'm leaving." And he slammed the door with a loud bang.
I could sense that before the argument began, both the man and woman were upset - most likely in part because of things having nothing to do with one another. The more angry words that were exchanged, the more intense things became. It was like a fire out of control.
This is an example of emotional outbursts that can arise during these crazy times. A couple like the one referenced above may already have some incompatibility issues. However, the intensity of energies can escalate things, amplifying the distress people feel.
If one or both of them had become mindful during the exchange of angry words - self-censoring and changing the dialogue - there could have been a better outcome.
Here is what I did to regroup energetically after witnessing the angry couple, disturbing my peaceful meditation. I closed the door to the room I had been in, going to another room away from the sounds from neighbors below me on the hill. I applied spiritual practices like I teach in the Divine Changemakers courses, then did some meditation. I came out of my process calm and peaceful, then had a restful sleep.
The Big Picture
Always keep in mind the big picture. There often are energies playing out having nothing to do with you personally, yet they can impact you.
The people you engage with regularly have the same dynamic occurring. Your partner, after having had a stressful day at work, may be more sensitive than usual. Things can be taken the wrong way. Things can be said that cannot be taken back.
All you can ever do is your part. What you can do - and what you must strive to do in order to create harmony - is to do your best in each situation. Be mindful, open, and willing to allow for mistakes you and others make.
If you feel judgment arising within you, acknowledge it, then let it go. You cannot proceed in a positive way when you judge. If you feel anger arising within you, acknowledge it, then let it go before you act on it. This will save you countless hours of needless confrontations and re-dos, and help you to avoid suffering.
Factor in the energies of a day. We live in times when energies of a Full Moon or Equinox can bring intensity along with mega opportunities for spiritual transformation.
Come back in your focus daily to the love that you house at your core. Focus on this love and do your best to apply this love to yourself and others. This is how you change - yourself, dynamics with others, and the world.

On Being Your Authentic Self, Part II: The Path of the Sun | The Druid's Garden
In last week’s post, I explored the importance of finding ways of living and being your authentic self. I suggested that there were at least three pathways to doing this work: the Path of the Moon, which is the quiet path of living one’s principles and showing the what while not necessarily discussing the spiritual path or why. This is a good path for those who feel restricted in sharing their spiritual path fully in various contexts of their lives; there are ways of still living one’s path while being very implicit about your inner spiritual life.
The path of the sun!
Today, I’ll explore the second path, shining path of the sun. The sun path refers to us being more being more out and open, more explicit, about the fact that you are a druid—radiating this truth in the world like the sun on a warm summer day. As I mentioned last week, both paths are useful to understand to do the work of integrating our outer life with our inner spiritual paths, but both are inherently different kinds of work. Today, we stand in the summer sun!
Path of the Sun: Coming Out and Radiating Brightly
I think there is this idea that certain people are out, radiantly and brilliantly so, all the time and in every way. And while it is true that some folks manage this, the degree to which druids are “out” and open about who they are seems to fall along a wide spectrum. Few of us are blessed with having life circumstances that allow us to be out fully and unabashedly, at least here in the USA. Truthfully, I know of very few druids or who are out and free in every aspect of their lives. Rather, I have found that being out is a matter of degrees. Maybe you are out to a select group of friends, or your family, but still “in” at your workplace. Or maybe you are out and publicly known in the broader druid community, but life in a conservative community means you keep your beliefs quiet around town. Or maybe you feel you cannot be out at all, you are new to the path or exploring on your own and aren’t ready to defend practices you are still beginning to understanding (if so, my post last week will be relevant to your position). In acknowledging this spectrum, I acknowledge that each of us must find our own place along these paths.
I think that it is, however, important that at least some of us take up the “path of the sun” work. Given that, I’m now going describe two reasons for doing so.
The Path of the Sun for the sake of the land. At many points of human history, spiritual considerations of the land and its sacredness were are the forefront of public discussions. Here in the USA today, and in many other parts of the world, this is no longer the case. And I think that being more open, and public, about the sacredness of the land can help us, on a larger scale, shift things. I spoke about this extensively in my “earth ambassadors” post from last year: how the land needs ambassadors, full of knowledge and rooted in a sacred relationship, to speak.
Being hidden about our spiritual practices means we are not able to engage in dialogue, discussion, and action on issues of the land from a directly sacred and spiritual perspective. I believe that druids and other earth-centered folks are in a good position to do this work and to support others who are already doing this work, but only if we are confident and able to find our voices, as humans and as druids. This directly leads me to my next point.
The Path of the Sun for the sake of our traditions. I remember being present for the dialogue between Philip Carr-Gom (Chosen Chief of OBOD) and John Michael Greer (then Grand Archdruid of AODA) on the differences between druidry in the USA and druidry in the UK (you can listen to this discussion on Druidcast (Episodes 68 and 69)). Philip shared stories of how UK druids are now consulted to bless forests and parks and to be a source of spiritual guidance when it came to human-land interactions. Meanwhile, in the USA, we have far, far to go. I think so many folks stay quiet about druidry here, at least, for fear of rejection, intolerance, or misunderstanding on the part of others. And this is a serious, real fear. I recently spoke to several women at a Samhain celebration here and town who shared stories of how a small magical shop had bricks thrown through the windows and quiet threats–it forced the shopkeepers to close. Certainly, being out and open as I now am, I do wonder and worry about these challenges myself.
Sunflowers embrace the sun!
One key issue, in my mind, in addition to those I listed above has to do with the core spiritual practices and experiences that we have as druids. Many of the spiritual experiences that are validated, acceptable, and important in our druid community are considered to be mental health issues by the broader establishment. And yet, many spiritual traditions all over the world see and hear spirit communication; its just the present one I happen to live in that utterly rejects this and instead sees it as pathology or worse. Some good writing on this topic has come out recently from the shamanic community, but it is very far from the mainstream. There’s a reason I don’t talk about my work with plant spirits to most people (although people certainly know I’m a druid, but they don’t know the details about what I do).
The Path of the Sun for the sake of ourselves. Beyond the reasons that we might engage in the Path of the Sun for the sake of the land and our traditions, there’s also the inner reason: living an authentic life. Its important for many of us to feel like we can be open and accepted for who we are, that we can be free to express our spiritual paths and not stay hidden. When I think about this issue, I’m reminded of the line from the Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby song, where Eleanor Rigby “Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door, Who is it for?” Many of us don’t want to have a face that we wear that we keep in the jar by the door (or at the edge of our grove, the edge of the spiritual gathering, wherever that edge is). I think this is particularly important to those of us in certain Western cultures where the current of individualism runs strong. For certain people, being anything less than exactly who we are, title and all, resonates with an inauthenticity that we cannot abide. For these kinds of people, the Path of the Sun represents the only possible path towards wholeness of body, mind, heart, and soul.
Walking the Path of the Sun
Now that we’ve established some reasons we might want to walk the Path of the Sun, how can we do so? This next section offers some suggestions for the process of coming into the sun. I’m drawing a lot from my own experience here, and the slow movement I had from being completely quiet, to moving into the Path of the Moon, and later, into the Sun in many aspects of my life.
Coming out is a process. Coming out is not a single process that you do one time and then is resolved; rather, it is a continual process that we are always cultivating. Timing is so critical with this coming out process; once conception of time in ancient Rome was “kairos” which loosely translates as the ‘right time and right place’ for a particular thing to occur. And so, as we think about coming out more fully into the sun, we need to attend to the process and timing of doing so.
I’ll also add that a lot of the process of coming out as a druid comes down to issues of our own identity: who we are, who we want to be, and who we socially construct with others (the face in the jar by the door). This has a lot to do with how comfortable we sit in our skin, and how that comfort changes based on the contexts in which we find ourselves. Each moment, we make decisions about who we are going to be, how we share our path with others, to come into the sunlight and shine. Each time we have an opportunity, we choose to act upon it or not to act upon it.
Having Key Conversations. One of the ways I believe that the sun path is most effective is in key conversations with individuals who are open to such conversation. I like to show people that I’m not some [enter your stereotype here] fringe lunatic with a crazy spiritual path, but rather a typical person with a job, a home, and the same hopes and dreams and fears as everyone else. This is why timing is so important; I rarely come out and say “I’m a druid” in big bold statements when I first meet people, but I also don’t keep it a secret. I find that its easier to have conversations with people after they get to know you just as a person, rather than someone who has a weird spiritual path (which may color their whole perception of you).
Once those conversations are ready to take place, framing and definitions are critical. Most people completely and totally lack a frame of reference of who we are and what we do. If I tell people “druid” they think I might be a World of Warcraft character. The questions immediately begin, “Is that like a witch or something?” “Is that some kind of video game thing?” or “Are you a pagan?” The person asking the questions is trying to fitting new experiences and concepts into their previous sets of knowledge and experience bases (it is how we learn as humans). This means that, if you come out or someone finds out you are a druid, the very first thing they try to do is to fit who you are and your path into their existing knowledge base. However: it is extremely likely that they don’t have an existing knowledge base that is an accurate representation. Simply allowing them to fit what they understand of my path into their own knowledge base encourages and perpetuates ignorance.This is because we don’t have spiritual paths or practices that are well understood; recognizing that people’s existing knowledge base either is absent, or it is present but insufficient, is an important part of moving beyond stereotypical or absent knowledge bases.
The Path of Druidry
Of course, key conversations often begin with those closest to us. I remember the difficulty of the first key conversations I had with my own mother, whom I am very close to. They occurred just after I felt empowered by placing the Awen stone in my office as my first act of “coming out” (see last week’s post). I sat her down deep in the woods and spoke to her about my spiritual path; I showed the parallels between her own Christian path (which involves praying in the woods each day and seeing signs from God in nature) and my own path (which involves meditating in the woods each day and seeing signs from the spirits in nature). She was very quiet, and afterwards, did not say anything for a long time. I didn’t push it, and finally, nearly two years later, I asked her if she had anything to say. She looked at me and said, “I didn’t say anything because I didn’t know what to say.” After that, the ice was broke and I was able to occasionally share things with her that had seemed impossible before. Still, even into my second decade as a druid, the conversations with my family are still challenging, and the process of coming out to my family, still presents a lot of difficulty because of the issues I raise above–people think they know all there is to know about me, without ever having a single conversation about me, and it is difficult to find how to fill that gap.
The Quick Statement. A second part of the key conversations, I believe, is what I will call the “30 second elevator pitch.” Imagine yourself in an elevator, and someone comes up to you and says, “Hey, I heard that you are a druid. What exactly does that mean?” I have found it helpful to prepare–and practice–a 30 second or less response to this question. This will require massive oversimplification. But a simple, yet accurate description is better than a winding and complex description that is hard for someone to wrap their heads around. Mine goes something like this:
“Druidry is a path of nature-based spirituality that honors the seasons, works with the cycles of nature, and finds spiritual guidance rooted in the living earth. Modern druidry is inspired by the Ancient Druids who were astronomers, philosophers, teachers, and diviners. The modern druid movement is about four centuries old and includes practitioners from all over the world, including many here in the US.”
Feel free to use this statement or adapt it for your own purposes. As someone who is fairly in the path of the sun at this point, I find myself using something like this more often than you might think!
Community Work. IF you have a group of people (grove, study group, seed group, etc), it is often helpful to do the Path of the Sun work together. One of the things a group of us did while I was still living in Michigan was to pair up with the only other non-Christian group in the area (a Buddhist group) and do some joint community service work. We let ourselves be known and open, and showed those in the community that we were part of it, there to do good work for the benefit of all. That worked really well, and I’d encourage it for others!
Hemlocks in the Path of the Sun
Other ways to shine. The Path of the Sun is often one of seeing opportunities and choosing to take them on, rather than deciding to retreat. For example, some NPR folks found my blog post on Hemlock a few years ago and asked me to talk about the Hemlock tree mythology. I was terrified of this and thought, “Oh no! People will know I’m a druid! Nobody actually reads the stuff I write on this blog!” After some meditation and reflection, decided to go ahead and do it. It ended up being a great deal of fun and I think I was able to share my knowledge of the trees with a much wider audience. This is all to say that each of us can find our own opportunities to shine and do our own Path of the Sun work in the world.
Closing Thoughts. Whether you take the path of the moon or the path of the sun, or perhaps walk the dawn or dusk that sits between them, the ultimate goal of this two-part series is to explore how we can be more authentic and comfortable in our own skins. Because that’s part of what a spiritual path is meant to do–to illuminate the path before us, to show us the ways to go and the ways not to go, and to help us feel like more fully actualized, vibrant people. May you walk your path, sun, moon, dawn, dusk, or otherwise, in peace and fulfillment.

Message from the Andromedans – All is in perfect Divine Order by Vera Ingeborg | The Wake Up Experience
“Accept
what is instead of reacting or fighting it. Reacting to fear with fear
will create more of it. Reacting to fear with love will transform it
into love.”
---to that, I would add, we are not victims, we have the co-creative power to transform this reality for the better, regardless of who we perceive to be in power. The people have the power, like Dorothy, we always have. We just didn't know it. ~PB
Message from the Andromedans – All is in perfect Divine Order
by | Nov 9, 2016 | Awakening, intuition
Our beloved brothers and sisters on planet Earth,
Yes, many are in shock right now. Cannot understand what has happened. How did we end up here? We are telling you, that what you experience now is a very good thing and very necessary. Humanity is healing. The deeply buried wounds and fears from the past that you share collectively are coming to the surface. Triggered by the events of the last days: The suppression of the feminine, the persecution of minorities, the fear of losing control, the fear of losing security, the mistrust, the loneliness, the feeling of separation.
“We are here to congratulate you. Unconsciously you have voted for your deep healing. For your return to authenticity. For your return to freedom.”And we are here to congratulate you. Unconsciously you have voted for your deep healing. For your return to authenticity. For your return to true freedom. For your awakening to a new reality. For your expansion of your consciousness. You have been kicked out of your collective comfort zone to find back to unity, oneness and compassion. This is all that counts now. CommUNITY. You are about to find out that you don’t need any leaders but that it is each and everyone of you leading this process and change. From within. You will rediscover that you are all part of the same organism and that all of you play an important role in its healing and growth back into the true human, free of fear, illnesses and pain.
Yes, you are afraid, many feel like ailing on the floor like a wounded deer, not able to run away from what you fear most any longer. You feel naked, vulnerable and incredibly angry and sad.
And we are here to tell you: Embrace your vulnerability. It is your greatest gift. Your vulnerability brings you back in touch with your feelings, with your ability to sense energy, with your own existence. The real you. This is a time for deep healing. Relax into the unknown, care about and love yourself and others, see how everything around you is a mere reflection of your current state of being. That is true for you as an individual as it is for the collective.
This is a time to not longer hide from yourself or others. With an attitude of openness and acceptance, you heal. Not only yourself but everyone and everything around you.
“This is a time to not longer hide from yourself or others. With an attitude of openness and acceptance, you heal. Not only yourself, but everyone and everything around you.”Get out of your head, drop all worries, don’t let your ego take over. Get into your heart, feel how these events unite you with everything and everyone around you and what a great opportunity this offers to take your power back. You are not a victim of your reality, you are the creator of your reality. Creativity comes from your soul and heart. Access it and use it for the greater good.
Yes, you cannot believe that yet. Nevertheless, we ask you to give this new perspective a chance. You are still hurting and carrying around your wounds. With your ego, your whole being is a wound. Nobody intends to hurt you. As long as you are still in the illusion of separation, each one of you is just protecting your own wounds and projecting them onto those that trigger you. This is the difference to the enlightened ones amongst you. Those that have dropped all fears and choose love every day. Those that have moved beyond separation and the sensation of duality, those that have healed their wounds, those that embrace everything as is and see the purpose in all that is. They cannot be hurt. They have healed. They are whole. So instead of judging or blaming others, be aware of your collective wounds. Don’t let it grow by going down the road of fear. Instead, allow yourself to feel the emotions without attachment. Let them go with gratitude. Embrace them as an old acquaintance that you wish farewell forever.
“Accept what is instead of reacting or fighting it. Reacting to fear with fear will create more of it. Reacting to fear with love will transform it into love.”Accept what is, instead of reacting on or fighting it. Reacting to fear with fear will create more of it. Reacting to fear with love will transform it into love. Calm down and find your inner balance in the here and now. That is your only reality. That is where you are always safe. You will be surprised how quickly things will change and fall into place for you. As an individual, and for the collective.
Yes, it seems frightening. But if you could see what we can already see so clearly, you would be very calm. You would be so at peace. You would feel the intense joy of the higher dimensions and feel the energies of heaven on earth already: This is the beginning of the Golden Age. New Earth. You are growing so much in such a fast manner. All is in perfect Divine order. We are incredibly proud of you. We are always with you. We love you.

Equinox Gateway Preparation ~ a message from Selacia
Equinox Gateway Preparation
a message from Selacia
Thursday, 5 March, 2015 (posted 6 March, 2015
This month’s Equinox may be one of the most potent experienced in recent years. Here’s a snapshot of what you can do now to prepare for beneficial spiritual openings available at this gateway. What you say yes or no to at this juncture could have long-term implications in your life.
Background
As a reminder, we’re sitting in a very powerful energy month. Highlights include a rare culmination Pluto-Uranus planetary lineup happening March 16, sure to catalyze long-lasting waves of changes on both personal and collective levels. Added to that is the total Solar Eclipse with New Moon (a supermoon) at the March 20 Equinox.
Any one of these energy events, but certainly all three, can lead to significant turning points – for humanity as a whole and for you personally. Adding to the intensity, we have a powerful Lunar Eclipse at the Full Moon on April 4.
These types of planetary events tend to shake up the status quo. Whether you were born in the 1960s or the 1990s, times like this bring to light needed transformational changes – often with an element of surprise.
If there was a Geiger counter to measure fluctuations in your nervous system, imagine how it might be going off the chart as your body processes these volatile energies.
Your nervous system doesn’t like surprises very much, so when things get like this, there’s a tendency to go into either fight or flight mode.
Making decisions in that state can lead you down a path of redos and regrets.
This is just a sampling of the volatile energy undercurrents impacting you and everyone you love. There are more, of course, including this week’s Full Moon (March 5) amplifying things, but this summary is more than enough to ponder right now.
Foresight and Advance Planning
As mentioned in my recent article, foresight and advance planning go a long way during times like this. Having a heads up of what’s to come, and consciously intending how you will respond, can make a huge difference in how you weather the intensity and what benefits you receive at this energy gateway.
Sometimes when you want something and you’ve done all you can do, you must be patient as the universe assembles things. Other times, such as in March with the Equinox and planetary lineups, you need to make yourself available to doorways of opportunity that can appear seemingly out of nowhere.
Prepare for the Equinox Gateway
Here are some tips to prepare for our Equinox gateway. The idea here is to find the inner harmony and balance needed to not only weather the cosmic storm but to be ready to step through a new doorway allowing you to have a wonderful new start.
That’s the jewel available this Equinox, a profound opportunity to set in motion a new direction.
This is the potential of seeing yourself in a brand-new way, catalyzing a significant shift in some area of your life.
The change may be something you have thought about or wanted for a long time. It also may be something totally outside your radar – something so new or radical that when you say yes to it, everything in your life experience changes! Here are some things you can do now to be ready.
FIRST: Remember that high-intensity days will amplify feelings and reactions to everyday things. Breathe often and ground yourself in the here and now. Rather than complaining or worrying, focus your mind on being open to the nudges from your Higher Self. When you bring spirit into your everyday reality, everything will flow better and you can avoid needless side trips. Another bonus: when you are fueled by spirit, it’s easier to find compassion for others having a meltdown.
SECOND: Intend daily to be open to the windows of opportunity available at this gateway. Then remember your intention as you navigate the day, acting on your heart’s wisdom. Opportunities often are disguised as something else – like a challenge you must meet before a life-changing event occurs or a random person who annoys you so much that you finally realize you must stop being a doormat.
THIRD: Do some form of meditation daily to clear your mind and reset your energy. You must have quiet and stillness in order to hear the helpful voice of your inner wisdom. Quieting the mind, too, helps you to be present. You must be conscious and awake in present time to benefit fully in these moments. Meditation can help you reduce overthinking and worry about the future, too.
As a divine changemaker, you are encoded to be here now. You have much more strength and preparation than you can possibly realize! After all, this is not your first lifetime here. Keep this overall picture in mind as you move through this cycle. Trust that spirit is right by your side.

~Sirian High Council – Awaken to who you are – Message to the Ground Crew ~by Anna Merkaba on May 22, 2014
~Sirian High Council – Awaken to who you are – Message to the Ground Crew
~by Anna Merkaba on May 22, 2014
"Some of you do not know that you are you do not consciously understand what significant roles you are playing in the ascension, in the changing of the world organizations for you are not to consciously to know who you are, you are not to reveal your identity and hence we do not wish to inform you in person that you are who you are, but those that are going to read this message and feel within their hearts that they are being spoken to directly, are the key persons that are indeed involved in the reorganization and change. You are who are reading this message, you are who are heeding the words of this message are the ones that are in control of the destiny of the humanity .
Know this that those who are in power are being brought into the chambers of light for healing and transmutation, know that the new world government is about to unfold before your very eyes and you are going to be in awe and in shock of the changes that are about to occur, know this that it is indeed so that we are speeding up the consequences of everything that you are believing to be true, and know that we are by your side, we are descending or rather you are coming to us, many of you are going to be seeing more of us, for we are in your territories right now, and in the next few weeks you are going to see many more of so called UFO’s appear in the sky, and many more such stories being reported for we are making ourselves visible for the time has come and we are going to be showing ourselves to you, to the key ones that are playing this game with fierce heart and open mind, we are spreading this message far and wide but know that those of you who are going to be reading this message and feel a zing or feel a shiver go down your back, those of you are the key leaders of the new earth.
You will not know this in your waking hours and you will continue to believe that you are not In fact the ones controlling the outcomes of the entire civilization but it is not so, for you are merely being protected and you are to stay under cover, for many years must pass before your identities will be revealed to you completely, before you will be able to walk into the light and take your righteous place amongst your brothers and sisters, but for now, your souls are doing all the work, while your body remains anchored on earth as if nothing is happening but that is not so, for you are great indeed.
Removing the debris, and making room for new informational frequencies that are sent into your bodies. The disc holds the representation of both polarities, of your creation selves allowing your sub consciousness to OPEN to the divinity within you. Allowing your own frequency to change the disc and thereby interlace your frequency with the frequency of mother and father god. Forming a triangular decree of energies within which the truth and divinity of self can be found.
http://www.metaphysicalascensionpowertools.com/product-p/sundisc.htm
Many of you are wondering whom we speak of, but those to whom we are speaking right now, are the ones that are to remain calm, all of you light warriors, are the ones in control of your destinies, and the destiny of humanity, but here are those amongst you who hold a special key a code within their DNA, that is enlightening the world, a code within their DNA that is waking up the humanity without them even realizing that it is so, for that is how it must be, for that is how it is to be and so it shall be, for now.
For you know who you are deep in your hearts you know who you are, deep in your hearts you know you are being called to rise up and take control over the shadows, you are hereby announced, you are hereby reinstalled, you are hereby given the kingdom of light and you are hereby to take control over the shadows and bring your people into the light, bring your people into the light, for when they will be in the light your job will be completed but for now, you are to lead the way for them out of darkness and into the light.
We leave you with this message of love, unity and hope, for the new earth is coming to you, and you are to do your part and you are to rise up and spread your love love love for love is truly the only way to solve all that has occurred on planet earth, we are not going to be using violence to assist earthlings, for there is plenty of it already, we are going to use the love frequency to not only raise the vibration of the earth but also to break the barrier of those that cannot hear, and this frequency will cleanse those all that stands in the way of love.
We love you, we leave you with a message of strength and love we love you goodbye for now.
