Recently, I purchase several books using money from my Birthday. On a lark I purchased an amazing book from 1998 by Jamie Sams called Dancing the Dream The Seven Sacred Paths of Human Transformation. This is the first book that I ever read that talks about Initiation by Spirit. I was blown away as I read about things that have happened to me in my life and so many things were explained. I actually found myself crying at one point as an epiphany hit me hard about one of the 'mistakes' that I was making my own life.
I was even more surprised that I've had a Oracle Set, called Animal Medicine Cards, that Jamie Sams co-authored for over a decade now. In fact, I just recently bought them for my mother who was curious about Animal Medicine. For those of you not familiar with Native American teachings, Each Animal represents a specific field of information or teaching...that is called Medicine. Each person also has their own medicine...so when we say, "I gave her a taste of her own medicine," it's a reference to a Native American belief. As I said, I am only human and I am just following the path that is before me. I am in no way perfect or 'know more' than others. However, I must say that I have experienced moments of tremendous synchronicity (a term originated by Carl Jung by the way) and I have an ability to see the connections in various field of work and weave them into a comprehensive easy to understand presentation. There was information in there that really caught my attention that very few people have been talking about that correlate to other sources including my own intuition. I'm so excited about these new discoveries that I wanted to share them. They are topics I plan on revisiting soon. 1998 I previously stated that what is happening is something I first perceived as having a potential to happen around the late 1990's, again in the late 2000's (around 2007) and it's happening now. This feeling that I had did not come from any sources that I read but a gut instinct. In doing the research for my next Shift Post I discovered a bit of information in the John Van Auken's book 2038 The Great Pyramid Timeline Prophecy. Here is what I really didn't notice before found on page 93: "He (Edgar Cacye) explained that record in the pyramid 'is from that as recoded from the journey to Pyrenees [The escape from sinking Atlantis] and to 1998 from the death of the Son of Man as a man' (378-14). From Cacye's perspective the year 1998 was a "milestone" in the journey of our souls. It marked the beginning of a New Age, an age of enlightenment and rapid soul growth. The biblical book of Revelations identifies this age as being a time when "Satan is bound" and lasting roughly 1000 years. Cacye also correlated the begining of this New Age with a shifting of the Earth Poles, something scientists have recently confirmed. The magnetic poles of the Earth are in the process of shifting, a process that began around 1998." Further, upon reading Jamie Sams book that contains information that I have come across nowhere else I found this: "The ancient Native American Wisdom of the Crystal Skull and White Buffalo Dreaming societies, both of which I have been a part of has been held in secret for centuries. These two dreaming societies are comprised of Dreamers, Seers, and healers from many of the tribes from Mexico and a few members from southern tribes in the United States. Our teachings are sacred, and due to the prophecy we have held for centuries, we knew the information regarding the seven paths of initiation and transformation was not to be revealed until the nine hells on the the Mayan calendar had ended. Since the late 1500's, with coming of the conquestadors, practicing the spirituality of our ancestors was punishable by death. Native Americans North and South of the border between the United States and Mexico were forced to keep spiritual ceremonies secret and our ancient wisdom out of the hands of those who would misuse the information. In the United States, the ceremonies of Native Americans were officially banned for over one hundred years. In Mexico, the torture rendered by church officials and political regimes was present until 1989 when the first inter-tribal Native American ceremony was allowed to be held in public. Finally, the nine hells ended in January of 1997; now it is time to share the wisdom that my teachers taught me." Then on page 231: "My personal experience on the sixth path took seventeen and a half years. That is not to say that it will take others as long as it has taken me. Many of the initiation experiences come easier today than they did eighteen years ago because of the lowering of the Earths magnetism and the increased electrical cycles per second, or hertz. The electromagnetic systems of the body are responding to the shift in the Earth Mother's electromagnetic energy system. We are experiencing 9 to 9.9 hertz in 1997, and it will increase to 13 Hertz by the year 2012. Many people have now blazed the trails...allowing others to find and follow the paths." 7's We all know when you see three 7's in a row it symbolizes a jackpot. What few people know is the importance of Seven's in most cosmologies or human belief systems. From Laird Scranton's The Cosmological Origins of Myth and Symbol: "Part and parcel of this cosmological tradition are concepts that are expressed in relation to the numbers 7 and 8 that are key to the cosmological symbolism as we understand it." (pg 25) "Like modern string theorists, the Dogon say that, conceptually, prior to existing as these particles, matter exists as primordial threads, which are effectively woven into matter. Each thread is said to pass through a series of seven vibrations inside a tiny egg, which the Dogon call the po pilu and which take as a likely counterpart to the tiny, wrapped up bundles of seven dimensions in string theory or torsion theory called the Calabi- Yau space. It is this component of matter that the Dogon priests call the egg of the world and describe as a pivotal component of matter to be found in the world just 'below' ours. The vibrations inside this egg are conceived of as seven rays of a star of increasing length and are represented by yet another Dogon drawing. The figures of this drawing are read from right to left, like Egyptian glyphs as they are arranged in some inscriptions or like the letters of a traditional Hebrew text." pg 36 In Dancing the Dream by Jamie Sams: "Other cultures and philosophies have outlined the same seven paths of human initiation... In the Catholic tradition, seven sacred sacraments are used to embody faith and to develop the attributes and compassion of Christ-like understanding. In the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, seven energy centers called chakras within the human body allow the life force and spiritual energy to travel through a person, bringing enlightened states of awareness. The Hindu and Buddhist traditions contain different practices and spiritual disciplines but both acknowledge the personal spiritual journey that allows a person to attain a sense of wholeness. In the Muslim tradition, Hagar, concubine of Abraham, was cast out into the desert with her son, Ishmael, when Abraham wife, Sarah, became jealous of her. Hagar had accepted Jehovah, the God of Abraham while living with the tribes of Israel. When she ran out of water in the desert and Ishmael was near death, Hagar called upon Jehova. God appeared to her and told her to have faith and that she and the child would be saved. God commanded Hagar to run between two hills in the desert seven times in order to show her fain in one God. At the end of the Seventh path, a spring came bubbling up from the desert between the legs of her son, where he lay in the sand, creating an oasis. In the Jewish tradition, the number seven is very important. In Hebrew, seven is shivah. Jehovah or God created the world in six days, and on the seventh day he rested. The seventh day is the Jewish Sabbath or Shabbat, which as its root int he word seven. Shabbat begins at sunset on Friday night, which is considered to be the begging of Saturday by the Jewish people. During that sundown, the feminine aspect of God descends upon the people. From then until the following sunset the people worship, pray and rest, doing nothing that would keep them from being receptive to the feminine aspect of God, which they consider to be spirit. When a person dies, there are seven days of grieving, called sitting shivah, which also stems from the word seven. These end with the family going to the cemetery to release the loved ones spirit. The first harvest of any type of fruit or vegetable is marked with a holiday called Shabouth, which is the plural of the Hebrew word for a week composed of seven days. The sacred day of Passover always falls in the seventh month of the Jewish calendar. In Seneca and Cherokee spiritual traditions, the seven sacred directions of the Medicine Wheel represent the seven paths of human initiation. The first six directions are represented by the East path, the South path, the North path, the Above path, and the below Path. In the Seneca spiritual tradition the seventh path is called the Within path; in the Cherokee tradition it is called the NOW." (Pages 5-6) The Dream Weave The final thing I want to leave off with is the Dream Weave: Jamie Sams in Dancing the Dream: "Imagine a road map or blueprint of lines of energy connecting all things; you would be visualizing the Dream Weave. The colors and textures of the intersecting lines of energy differ according to the individual viewing them, because each person has a different perspective on life. For centuries, our adept Native American Dreamers and Seers have been aware of this energetic web connecting all matter, energy, space and time. Physicists have called the elementary particles or the connecting energy between atoms gluons. The Southern Seers see these elementary particles as forming a web of energy connecting the seen and unseen worlds of our universe. Our Ancient legends say that Grandmother Spider weaving the web of the universe to show the inter relatedness of all things. The Southern Seers perceive the web of energy as made of Spirit or divine life force. We begin to see and feel the energy web of the universe when we heal our fears and released old wounds,lifting the (7) veils of separation that were created by how we previously viewed the world." pg 10 "We are constantly being touched by spiritual influences that alter our perceptions. We don't usually recognize it until we have encountered it many times. The two worlds of the tangible and intangible come together like a busy intersection, one world contains matter and unwittingly uses the energy of the other world without understanding it or accurately perceiving the forces contained therein. As we grow, we become more aware of how those two worlds affect our lives moment by moment and decision by decision." pg 63 From Laird Scranton The Cosmological Origins of Myth and Symbol: "...For example, in ancient Egyptian cosmology, the great mother goddess, Neith (also known as Net), is credited with having woven matter on a loom with her shuttle, while in Dogon cosmology, the spider Dada (sometimes called Nana) is defined as having woven matter from threads int he form of a web. Although we might first see these as irreconcilable differences between two cosmologies, when we dig deeper we discover the likely truth of the matter. First, we find that in Dogon language the word Dada means, "mother." so it can be seen to agree with the Egyptian concept of a mother goddess. Second, when we look to ancient mother goddesses from other cultures that are traditionally equated with Neith, such as Athena in Ancient Greece, we often find evidence of spider symbolism. These references hel us to reconcile Neith in Egypt with the Dogon spider references. Then again, this same example demonstrates the importance of ultimate preseverence on the part of the comparative cosmologist, because we eventually compare the Dogon and Egyptian cosmological systems with Buddhist cosmology, we find a tradition that defines matter as having been woven in a web by a spider as if on a loom or shuttle." pg 17 Understanding One of the things that I have come to understand as well that has been a bit of a revelation is that the people who are not ready for certain things will not understand what I say or write. These people are simply on different paths in their own lives then the one that I am on. I've learned, I'm a bit more advanced then others when it comes to this path for no other reason than I wish to serve humanity and I'm willing to investigate. In the bible it says, "It is God's glory to conceal a matter, and the glory of kings to investigate a matter." The thing is some people are not ready for some information. I think that's why some people can't "get" this stuff. The reason information is 'hidden' isn't because people shouldn't know it or it is kept quite on purpose by some mysterious conspiracy. It is simply that to those who do not want to know, who prefer a particular belief system...it sounds like nonsense. This appears to be done on purpose in a divine way and nothing man made. I have observed this in my own life when I tried to share an advanced teaching with someone and they heard something totally different. No path is wrong but I've learned that God does hide certain knowledge from people until they are ready for it or it is presented in the right manner for them to grasp it so they can apply it in their own lives. Conclusion So, I've sketched my recent journey here. This is where things are starting to make sense not just from an intuitive point of view but also through a framework that's easy to understand. Heck, its even backed up by science. I will get into the three 'worlds' or what might be considered dimensions in a future post. The first world is water or waves (perhaps light), the second is our Dream Weave and the third is our physical world. There does seem to be a single cosmology. I'm sure you can see how the teachings I've provided connect. The Dream Weave is something we interact with every day, we charge it with our actions. If they are negative then we put negative energy into the Dream Weave. That Dream Weave will eventually give us back that negative energy in a larger amount. Understanding how the dream weave works, that there are 7 veils within it, is very important to my path right now. Those 7 paths of initiation are shared by most cultures. However, we have to understand that we help weave the Dream Weave with our thoughts, our imaginings and our dreams. Therefore, we interactively create our own reality. There is much more, that the former age that we have been in has been the world of Separation (from God) and that we are now entering a 5th world of Peace. All of that, however, will continue to unfold as I continue with the Shift blogs. I apolgoize for the deviation but I leave you with some homework. You really should read this: http://www.manataka.org/page495.html and watch the two videos at the end about the Warriors of the Rainbow Propehcy and The Prophecy of the Rainbow Bridge. Again, these are positive messages I don't see many focusing on so I want to share them as right now everyone seems to be so negative because of the uncertainty caused by the election.
