4/15/05: A Journey to investigate a Dream a friend had in which she, her sister and her deceased brother were together in a room. The Girls are yelling, “We have to stop this” while her Brother slips off to the side and out. Since Sacred Space was already in place, I went right into the Drum Loop after Smudging and Lighting the Sacred Candle. I immediately saw about 10 Owls spiraling down in a narrowing cone toward the edges of my Shaman’s Mirror, lying on the ground with the edges glowing blue. I then remembered, I had forgotten to put on my Mirror for protection while out of my Body! So I got up and grabbed it, and placed it on my chest for protection. As I lay back down, Owl met me in the branch of a Tree and said, “that’s better!” We looked up in the Sky, and saw a green Ribbon of light..it was the “River of Dreams.” We zoomed up and into it. As we went through the Ribbon, we were passing pieces of other Dreams..fleeting images. But soon up ahead I saw my friend standing there, and knew we had reached our destination. As we reached my friend, we were suddenly in a small bedroom with her and the other two in the house. The bed was behind the Girls, a dresser in front of them A closet was to their left. I saw as the Brother slipped out of the room through or near that closet. I went with him to see what he was doing. He had shape-shifted into a Red-Tailed Hawk. He flew up and out of the house, and lit on a Tree Branch. I was following right along with him. Suddenly a very bright light appeared on the horizon. It looked like the Sun, but had black light and white intermingling on its disk..unlike anything I had seen. It was as if it was boiling with a mix of the two opposite “colors.” I saw a fleeting appearance of other figures near this “opening.” The disc was somehow beckoning to the Brother, but he was resistant..he grabbed his branch tighter and tucked his head down into his chest Then, a man figure appeared nearby, and lifted the brother up onto his shoulder and walked toward and then into the Orb. I followed. Once through, the Hawk (the brother) was back in the back yard of the House..but this was the Upper World representation. He met up with a female Hawk and the soared around together, quite happy. He then landed in the field and began keeping watch over the house, as if waiting for someone. Soon he looked down and his talons and saw a small, fabric, stuffed Doll lying there. She had coarse yellow threads for hair and wore a blue body covering. The Doll was perhaps 4 to 5 inches long. He picked up this Doll in his beak and flew it over to the house chimney, and dropped it in. The scene then shifted back into the bedroom. The Two Girls were staring at this same Orb of Black/White light, and saw the brother, as himself, walking into it. That’s what they were trying to stop. But once he was gone, the Sister turned to my friend and said, “He’s so happy!” Both Girls stood there beaming! I then sensed the Doll going by them within the chimney. It went right through the ground and into the Lower World, where it transformed into two small Hawks. These flew back up to become Guardian spirits for both Girls as they were growing up. The scene then shifted. I rose above the house and saw a very threatening gray sky approaching. But then, sliding along the bottom of these tumultuous dark grey blobs of cloud, came a round blue disk. It stopped over the house and produced a blue cylinder of light that completely surrounded it. It protected the house from the passing rains and winds. The house was lit as if in sunshine even though the area outside the cylinder was a raging storm. The scene then shifted for the last time. I saw my friend’s more-grown lower leg..and on it was a sock that had the image of the doll embroidered into the top. The Call Back then sounded. Journey over, I thanked Owl and returned to my Robe.

4/15/05: A Journey to check on a Dad, who passed away in 1998. Sacred Space was already in place, so after Smudging, I was off. I came to a Lake area, and it was a Sun-filled Day. Owl, my Upper World Guide, and I were floating along in the very front of a small pointy-nose Boat (like a large row boat) that seemed to be under its own propulsion. Off to the left we saw an inlet where it was very dark, and the boat headed straight into it. Once within, we were suddenly immersed in Darkness. Owl had shape-shifted into his human form, Eagle Claw. On each side of the river we saw Shadows running amidst small fires. At first the Fires were from Torches lining the Bank, then they graduated into small camp Fires further up. On occasion we saw some eyes glowing from the Beings sitting around or running between these Fires, themselves barely visible in the darkness. I looked down at our Boat. It was glowing an translucent blue, as were we! In the rippling Water ahead of us, I saw a very bright Star reflecting. But, as we looked up, there was no corresponding Star in the Sky. I took my Shaman’s Mirror and pointed it straight ahead, so that a narrow beam of this blue Light was piercing the Darkness. Suddenly an image of the father appeared, but as a younger Man. It began leading us, and shrank as it moved ahead faster than we were traveling. Suddenly our Boat ran aground. Up the side of the River bank we could see a small Cemetery with its Headstones glowing with the same blue Light. We got off the Boat and as we walked up the Bank we noticed it was very thick and gooey. We made it into the Cemetery, and found the Stones were made only of Light..no solidity whatsoever. We came to one and I saw the name of the father flash in front of me. THe daughter had said that was her Dad’s name, and so I assumed it was he. We turned to behold a very large inverted Cone made of white Light with Rainbow hues moving toward us. Within the veil was an image, quite transparent but sill coherent, of her dad as a younger man. He knew who we were and why we were there. He told me to say “Hi to my daughter. I love her. Remind her that Mountains are very different from the Heights..but both must be climbed.” He then leaned forward, a bit out of his Aura, and said, “Say hi to my son, also.” This took me aback for I had forgotten at this point that she had a brother who had passed. I began wondering who this son was. But soon I was taken off this subject when the Father held out a small, square Picture. It was he and his daughter, who was quite young, sitting on a picnic table near a Lake. I sensed this was one of his favorite times with her. The scene transformed into reality, and I sat with them at this picnic table. The Father and I both looked up at the Sky and saw a small Tunnel forming there..we knew it was the Tunnel of Death slowly but surely lowering down toward him. He was not afraid, but preparing, even at this age..resolving to enjoy the time he had left. The scene then shifted again. I saw him at a coffee table, still as this younger Man, perhaps in his early 40s, drinking a Schaeffer beer and holding a cigarette. He was speaking, saying, “Man, I’ve head a good life! I’ve been so lucky!” We were then back in the Cemetery. The Aura was still there, and the Dad leaned forward. He held out his left Hand and showed me a box ring of Gold, with a dark or black Stone embedded. It was as if he were giving it to me..for the daughter? The Call Back then sounded, and Eagle Claw and I quickly hopped back into our boat and moved down the river, onto the Lakes and back to the local area, so I could merge back into my Body.
Notes: The Dark River seemed to be a River where Souls first enter on their way to the Other Worlds, and many of the Souls there seemed to be quite recent. They seemed as if they were just waiting.. The fact that the Dad came to this dark place brightly lit with his Aura meant he wanted to meet us away from where he lives as a Spirit..and chose this area as the place least likely to bring us interference.
He already knew I was going to Journey also for his Son. Once I was back from the Journey I realized what he had meant.
The Star’s reflection in the Water with no corresponding Star above is very curious. Mongolian Shamans, however, as well as other Shamanic disciplines, recognize that the Earth Soul sits on top of the head in the Crown Chakra. It is a very bright Star-like entity. No doubt we were seeing the Dad's Earth Soul approaching, for shortly after that we saw him floating in front of us, leading us to the Cemetery. The fact the Stones were made of Light and had no solidity implies that the daughter should realize that there is no such thing as true Death. Headstones just make us miserable by making us believe that…
The transparency of his Body within the Aura told me his Suld soul was already well on its way to transforming into a Nature Spirit, the usual progression for Earth Souls well after their Death. This may also be why he wanted to meet “in private.”
The basic message was that he truly enjoyed his Life here, his daughter, and was very comfortable now moving into Nature. Keep in mind the two other Human Souls go to the Upper and Lower Worlds, and maintain their identity. Earth Souls, though, after time, change into Nature spirits where they help people, and especially, Shamans.
The picture I saw of the Dad showed no rings on his fingers..so I’m not sure why he held out that Ring that I saw..
5/5/05 Follow-up. Turns out this ring is real. The daughter has begun wearing it! It is indeed a box ring of Gold, with a dark blue square Stone. It did indeed belong to her Dad. This was an obvious validation move by the Father, to ensure the daughter knew that I had indeed been in contact with him. This sort of match still gives me excitement chills! :)

4/15/05: A Journey to check on this woman's brother, who passed in 2002. I took this Journey right after the visit with her Dad. Only now I found Owl and I zooming along at cloud top level over a bunch of puffy white Clouds. The sky was a bright blue above. Sticking up out of the Clouds a good distance ahead was a single, cone-shaped mountain with a very sharp peak..almost like a pyramid. The mountain was lit brightly in yellow, oranges and gold, and was made entirely of Stone. But before we got to it, we sank beneath the Clouds. We came down to the ground next to a large cabin. It was misty and dim, not dark. Colors were muted, but still quite nice. We looked over at the covered porch of the cabin and saw a solitary figure sitting there, leaning back as if in a rocking chair. There was a large, lazy medium-brown dog lying asleep on the edge of the porch next to the yard. I went up to him and ascertained it was indeed her brother. Owl and I told him who we were, but he immediately began complaining. “It’s not fair. I wanted more time. I had plans, I wanted to run a business..” This was obviously an Earth (Suld) Soul that had not yet come to terms with his passing. I interjected and told him that I had just come from his Father, who said to say hi. I told him how he had adjusted to his passing, and was happily merging back into Nature to serve all of Life as a Helper Spirit. I then asked him if he ever had visitors. He told me that some Spirits would walk slowly by the Cabin without a word or glance. Others would stop and say hi for a few minutes. One had come, a female and actually sat at his feet and became a companion for a while. I then told him his Sister had given me the picture of him and Daddy that I now showed him. I suggested that perhaps his Sister could use his help, if he decided to leave his regrets behind. I told him Owl and I could rejuvenate him Spiritually. He agreed, and we took him up to the peak of the Mountain. There, on the other side, was the Sun on the horizon, a brilliant Gold. I told him to stand there and drink in that golden light until his windhorse (Spirit Energy) was completely restored. As Owl and I left him and flew away, we heard him shout out that he indeed promises to guard and support his Sister from here on out. We flew back beneath the Clouds to where we had found him, and the cabin was gone..just black ground where it had been. The final image I saw was of a woman standing in a mechanical arm factory saying, it works perfectly, as she flexed one of the arms.
Notes: This means that the Sister will soon be getting assistance directly from her Brother as she walks the remainder of her Earth Walk.
The fact the Cabin was beneath the Clouds and in a mist reflects the intense emotionalism felt by the brother at his passing.
The Brown Dog: In ancient Greece, Dog was the companion to and the guardian of the Dead. They also reflect faithfulness, which the Brother showed once we let him know his Sister was still out here on her Walk. The color brown is effective in stabilizing overexcited states. It calms, and also grounds emotions and extreme mental conditions. The Dog was no doubt there to keep the Brother from flipping out completely as he contemplated his early demise.
