Journey 15 - Spirit Landscape at Local Church

I Journeyed this morning to see what Spirit powers live at a local Church I've been attending, after smudging the room with Sage and Sweet Grass, and a few minutes of Shamanic Breathing. I self-drummed versus using the CD. I went to the lawn outside the building and invited my Lower World Guide Crosses in Front to come with me. But Crosses seemed reluctant, as this was not really a Journey to the Lower World, but to the Spirit presence in this one. While I was beginning the Journey, a scene of a large collection of Tipis flashed before me, as did my visit to the Tree of Life and the image of my Upper World Trainer, Eagle Claw. These passed by very quickly, and I refocused on the task at hand. So Crosses went with me to the far Woodchuck opening by the woods, but we did not gain access through there. We went to the opening by the bush near the building. Again, as I went in, I felt Crosses resisting, so I went in alone. At first it was just dark and claustrophobia-inducing. I asked for another Guide to be with me, and came out. Two Feathers came to me, and we went back into together. This time the tunnel led to a small, well-lit room, with a table. At the table sat a white man, dressed in traditional Christian ceremonial garb. Seated at the table with him were a couple of black, hooded beings, with black faces that spoke of normal facial features but didn’t really have any that were identifiable as such. Two Feathers and I walked around this table looking at the beings. They were motionless, as if frozen in time. It seemed apparent that the dark beings were NOT in harmony with the religious man. We then noticed a large Bible sitting on a stand in the corner of the room, and went over to it. When I got there, I saw the title John 3: 6,7 flash before me. It comes from the part of the Gospel where Jesus is teaching the Pharisee Nicodemus about being born again. I have since excerpted it and print it below:

John 3:

6
Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven.

7
So don't be surprised at my statement that you must be born again.

Two Feathers then came over to the stand with me. The room had gotten noticeable darker, as if being lit only by candles versus the appearance of electric light the room first had. As we looked at the Bible, we noticed a large Golden Feather acting as a bookmark toward the back of the Bible. We opened it, and were shown the title Matthew 24: 6,7. It is reproduced below, and comes from the portion of the Gospel where Jesus is speaking of the end times.

Matthew 24:

6
You will hear of wars and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end.
7
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place.

Right as we looked at that part of the Bible, it began to disintegrate. It splintered into tiny bits of paper before becoming a single flame of fire hovering over the stand. Shortly thereafter, the Flame disappeared and in its place was a single, large and perfect pink Rose. Flowers.com reports that “pink roses in general represent happiness, gracefulness and gentleness but if you really want to get specific, light pink symbolizes admiration and sympathy while deep pink symbolizes gratitude and appreciation.” It seemed to me that the rose on the Bible stand was in between light and deep.. The Golden Feather was still there. I took both to my Spirit Totems collection, as they were gifts to me from the event. We turned around, and all the figures who were around the table had disappeared.

I then asked if I might see who was living in the Church as Spirits. I found out the Native Spirit in the High School room was guarding his village’s gravesite. Perhaps that is why I saw the numerous Tipis when I first began. I then asked about the ceremonially dressed Spirit in the Sanctuary and was shown that he was a single figure who was from the Norse visits many hundreds of years ago. He apparently had been taken in by the people in the Native village and befriended them. He has never left them since. I then saw another room sitting beneath the building that had several (at least 4) blue Spirit Shapes moving around inside. I could not be sure if these were presently there, perhaps people who have passed but are still involved in the area..or perhaps Spirits from another age.

I then was taken above the grounds of the church and shown that there is a thin layer of blue Spirit Life hugging the grounds of the entire area like a moonlit blanket of snow. I got the sense that there might be a parallel world present at this site, complete with other races and events. This might tie in with the Spirit Shapes in the room mentioned above.

Finally, while still above the site, I saw that a strong and very bright beam of rainbow colored light is pouring down into the pastor’s house. I then saw her come out and go to her deck, and she herself has a Spirit Aura that is a very bright rainbow, as it should be. My final images was of her face elevated in a church that was quite different from the one we have now. This was very large, all wood and very Middle Ages looking, with lots of wood carvings and the like. At first I sensed this meant her Spirit would be present in the current church for years to come. But then I realized this wasn’t our church. Again, I was unable to sense whether this was a past, alternative or future image. It seemed as if it might be the future..

I thanked my Guides and returned.
