3/28/05: A Journey undertaken at my dear friend and co-worker’s request for a fellow by the name of Emmanuel, who has recently passed to the Spirit Camp. She feels his wife will be made more easy if she knows how Emmanuel made the transition. I went in with no assumptions, but was hoping things went well. But as I was beginning my preparation after Smudging, Rattling and lighting the Sacred Candle, I got a strong sense of blackness that I tried to dismiss, in case it was my tiredness or some other mental imposition making itself known versus the actual start of the Journey. I concentrated on my purpose some more, and soon saw a Forest before me. I saw Owl swooping in from my right, and he was a brilliant, glowing green. He landed in a Tree ahead of me that was an equally brilliant, glowing red. When he perched, though, veins of green began running along the Trunk and Branches. I approached the Tree, and as I began to climb as instructed by Owl through thought suggestion, I noticed the Bark was very edgy, pointed. It was very painful to climb up the Trunk, but I noticed that the sharp points did not cut me, even though the sensation was there. Once with Owl, he asked if I wanted to go check out Emmanuel’s status, and of course I said yes. So he grabbed me and up we went above the Tree Line. We saw in the distance a very black circle low on the horizon, encircled in a purple ring. I knew this was the tunnel we would be taking, but since it was so low and sloping downward, I was not sure if we were heading to the Upper, Middle or Lower Worlds. We flew quickly and were at the mouth of the Tunnel in a second or two. We entered, and I noted that the Tunnel was very dark, warm and moist..almost a Tropical feel. I was told by Owl to be patient with this one, for it would take longer than normal and I might be tempted to introduce imagery of my own. So I waited, listening patiently to the Drumming, and we eventually emerged from the darkness into an equally dark Land. All there was to be seen were small orange campfires, with Spirit Beings around them. They were just black outlines against black, with the red eyes. I knew we were in the Cave of Lost Souls. But one Fire to my right had an older man, sitting next to it, seemingly shivering in a daze..confused. His hair was thinned and combed back, and was white with almost a trace of blonde in it. I thought about Emmanuel’s name and possible heritage, and wondered if his hair would even be this color. But I went up and asked if he was Emmanuel, and he seemed very glad to see someone who knew who he was and why he was there. He then became very animated and said he was quite upset at having been taken from his Life. He seemed to run against the Tunnel entry in anger. At this point, I went into a deeper state, and recall seeing a Chinese man fighting with a stunningly beautiful Chinese woman, who at first seemed quite fetching and happy. But soon the smile turned to aggression, and she lunged at his chest with a long wooden pole. His look was one of expectation and resign. The next scene I recall was of Owl fluttering around me, recommending to me that I take Emmanuel to the World River so his Soul could be sent on. But first Emmanuel wanted to visit Cathy one last time. I went with him as he went into their bedroom and wrote his name in some dust on a bureau. I then asked him to blow a portion of his Spirit into her Heart and Crown Chakras, so as to bring her peace of mind. That breath would deliver her enough of his essence that she would cease to feel lonely..that the would feel him with her. He did so. We then went off to the River, and as he reached the edge where the river drops to the Lower World, I saw his Soul split onto two pieces. The one went down, the other up to the Tree of Life. Both his Ami and Suls Souls had remained together after Death! No wonder the poor guy was so lost and confused. He has now been released, and will move onto his next lives..but he has left enough of his Love with Catherine that she will be able to live in peace.
Notes: The Green and Red reminded me very much of the traditional colors of Christmas. The fact the Tree so lit was causing me pain could be working on several levels, but was probably the result of Christmas being the favorite time of the couple, and now the time when the pain of separation will be felt the most.
The confrontation between the Chinese couple may be a metaphor that Emmanuel felt guilt about an argument he might have had and never apologized for.
The fact both Soul Pieces were still united was new to me. We were probably in the upper World when in the Cave of Lost Souls, but we may also have been in the Astral Plains. There seemed to be a very horizontal feeling to this Journey. We never went up or down, and all motions seemed to be lateral.
I don’t know the wife will actually find Emmanuel’s name written in dust. It may have been a metaphor for his finally accepting his passing. But his new presence within her Chakras, and therefore within her Spirit Being, will no doubt bring her greater ease with time than would have been the case.
Based on the close relationship this couple had had, I am now not surprised at the tenor and pathway of this Journey. He obviously did not want to leave as soon as he did..
Journey #2:
3/28/05: A non-drumming Journey undertaken to meet the spirit of the piece of Meteorite I bought a few weeks ago. I used my Hollow Bone technique to move into the Spirit World. I lit my Sacred Candle and lay in the near-dark. I was wearing my Shaman’s Mirror and placed the tiny Meteorite in the center of it as I lay on my back. I whistled in my Hollow Bone and was soon within it. I saw numerous meteors flashing across the sky-roof of the Bone. I sensed suddenly that my Mirror was expanding beneath me, and soon I was standing on a very large and ancient plain. A shot distance ahead was my Meteorite piece, now a fairly large black stone hill but in perfect detail. Dinosaurs were running around. At first they ignored me, but soon one picked me up and placed me atop the black hill that was now my Meteorite piece made large. I sat and waited to meet the Spirit of the Meteorite, who was very quick in coming. He was an older Being, with very long and wispy white hair. His face was the shape of a light bulb, and he had the black eyes so common among the Spirits. I kneeled before him and told him I was honored to be in his presence, and that my name was Four Hawks. He told me he knew who I was and that he had chosen to come to me. He told me I was going to be a great Healer for my World. He said once I had soaked the Meteorite piece in a bit of alcohol and drunk it, his spirit would be there for me at my will. I asked his name. He sat and said nothing, and then started waving his arms. It may have been a trick of time, but it seemed as if he had four of then, two on either side, and they waved in opposition to one another on each side, up and down. Think two Birds flying right at you with their wings beating at the same speed but one with high wings and the other with low. He then lifted me up onto a Meteor that was floating up in space. I watched as he took two of his hands and held them out toward a planet we were passing by. Incredible bolts of Energy flew out of his hands and began covering the globe below. It was being filled with Life spirit, and I got the sense that this Planet would develop all forms of life, much as Earth had. I also sensed his name was Holds Out his Hands. This Being went around to selected planets and populated them with Spirit on behalf of the Great Spirit. A very powerful Shaman Spirit indeed! I asked if he had done Earth, and he said now, there were others like him. But he did say Earth had had to be “restocked” several times due to the immolation of Life by advanced Beings there.and that it looked as if it would happen again there. He then told me that once he was part of me..merged with me..I would likewise be able to use my hands for pouring life into People and things. I was awestruck. He then merged with me and told me to try it. I lay in the dark and held my hands out in front of me. I could barely read the imprint of the Energy outline of my hands on my visual cortex. But it was there. But as I concentrated on sending out rainbow light from them, I was just not able to see it. However, after trying for a minute or so I could feel the tension in my cortex from trying. Obviously this is something I must develop further. We then separated, and I held the Meteorite up to my Third Eye Chakra to see if I could see anything more, but outside a few outlines in blue there was nothing much. I then came back down off the black hill and left the Hollow Bone and returned to me room, still honored that I will have such a wonderful Helper Spirit.
