Net of Light for Mother Earth

This is a new video expressing what
came from the Maori Peoples....

A Call for Prayer
(please click on here)

I will be going to the Mighty Rock
River tonight, so I will not be on
Blogger this weekend as I will be
focusing my attention on sending
Healing Prayer to the Water, Mother
Earth, and All Living Things.  This
weekend with the Solar Eclipse is a
wonderful portal for us, as old structures
fall away and new beginnings take
hold, so I hope you are able to take full
advantage.

My Love and Blessings are with each
one of you....

Mitakuye Oyasin!

The Ancient Ones Are Calling...

I received this call for support from the indigenous people of New Zealand, please participate as you are able. The new moon and solar eclipse provide powerful energy for this work!


Many Blessings

Grandmother Earth is bleeding to death What we can do now?

Turtle speaks: ** "Our Mother Earth is in urgent need of immediate love and support. Her core has been breached and she is bleeding. Unchecked sulphur, oil, and toxic gases in the Gulf of Mexico are giving way to widening fissures that threaten life as we know it, on all the lands and in all the waters we love. ~ It need not be so ~ The Ancient Ones are calling on humankind to go to the waters." *

For the sake of our dear mokopuna and generations of grandchildren to come, the time is critical. And so, Dear human kind.. All Our Relations.. Let us answer the call of the ancestors and join our hearts in intention to curtail the hemorrhage, address the underlying grief and wrong-thinking, and send love to our beloved Grandmother Earth.

THE TIME IS NOW: July 25 through 30, astrological likelihood for further breakdown of old structures such as we have seen is ripe. However, on July 12 (New Zealand time) the sun sextiles Mars, and Venus and Regulus are aligned. We experience a solar eclipse crossing through the Pacific and directly over the emotional, naval center of the earth (Rapanui / Easter Island). We exit the tunnel, which began at the lunar eclipse and Grand Cross on June 26. This will be the opportune window to avert further injury and to begin restoration of our beautiful Mother.

~ We Are Water ~ All things are alive and connected through water. Water is a conscious conduit and instantaneous transmitter of intention. Our intention is that we not go again the way of Atlantis, but to replenish and rejoin our Mother in truth, beauty and harmony. *

We call for prayer-gatherings over local waterways This Sunday July 11 at dawn and at dusk in preparation for the great shadow eclipse, and again gathering on Monday the 12th at the actual time of the eclipse: (7:35am NZ time.) Go to www.timeanddate.com/worldclock for your local time. Those nearby are invited to come to Waikirikiri River at White Cliffs Domain, out of Christchurch, New Zealand at 7:30am, and again at 6pm, both days.

Please share this timely intention worldwide via e-chains and websites. And individually.. beginning immediately, with every morning and evening star.. Let us send from our hearts, messages of deeply felt apology and love, through bright Venus to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Let us re-imagine, with our hearts, her waters once again crystalline and shimmering with life and light. We need not try to understand how this will be accomplished, but envision it so, with great love. United in purpose, the will of the highest good shall become manifest. Let it be so.

In gratitude, and in service to our beloved mother Papatūānuku / Gaia Makere, Mareikura o Waitaha (Waitaha Grandmother), Juliette Peck, Loraine Web, Rua Pick, Michelle Croft, Dianne Cutler, Remy Kiehn-Lindsey, Barry Mathers

How to Make a Rain Chain

There is a cool article on Ehow that walks you
through making a rain chain.  I had suggested
these to my landlord last year before we took
out the wheelchair ramps, as in winter time
the snow melt would pool on the ramp and
below it, and overnight would freeze, making
the ramp quite treacherous to those using it.
Namely Me!  So anywho...there is a good
article over there to show you how to make
them and they can drip right into your rain
barrel!  How fun is that, plus you can enjoy
the tinkling sounds they make...nature's
music!  Just follow the link!

Hummingbird Medicine...

This is one phenominal video!  I have
a deep love for Hummingbirds and
when this came by way of my email I
knew I had to share it with all of you!

This truly is Mother Nature in Love
Action.  I have long held that these
exquisite creatures communicate with
us on a supreme heart level.

Isn't that something?  Ahhh be still my
heart!  :)

P.S.  Is anyone having problems posting
You Tube Videos on Blogger?  I have not
been able to post them for two days!
Drats!!  I tried putting up the whole video
again just now but it would not allow it.
Give me a shout if you are having problems
too, please?   Thanks Bunches!!!

I'm just sayin'....

I've tried posting several new videos
this morning but it was a no go, so rather
than fight technology I'll just post some
links and you can go and check them out
at your leisure?  The first one being the
Alaskan Natives speaking out about the
Gulf Oil Rape...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkcO5kLt5Mg

and then one which really spoke to me is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lntLbNOPZE4

and last for today is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLdgj5XtZPE

I know some of you may be growing weary of
me posting about The Oil Rape of Mother Earth
but I have found a purpose and passion through
this happening.  I have been called to be a
Water Keeper.  The ways in which I can do that
is to post these videos and links to help inform,
to ask you to continue to pray and hold intention
for the Water...Water is Life!  In those moments
when you get a glass of water for yourself, stop
and say the prayer of Dr. Emoto...which is
I am sorry!
Please forgive me!
Thank You!
I love you!

I have taken to talking to the Water moment by
moment as I go through my day...when I am
doing my dishes, showering, doing laundry,
watering my plants, drinking, I am reminded
that life is a Circle and my prayers that are
being said in those moments of my using this
Life Force, are being heard by Mother Earth and
Father Sky.  I will not give up until Her Body is
Restored to Perfect Health.  I truly believe that
when I say prayers for Herself I am as well
bringing Healing to Me.  To You!  I am doing as
the Grandmothers have asked, and that is to
continue to hold The Net Of Light for The Gulf
and all Living Bodies of Water in prayer three
times a day.

Living Water International says this about
Water...WE are living with Water Crisis!
It is at the heart of a daily crisis faced by a
billion of the world’s most vulnerable people—
a crisis that threatens life and destroys
livelihoods on a devastating scale.

Unlike war and terrorism, the global water crisis
does not make media headlines, despite the fact
that it claims more lives through disease than
any war claims through guns. Unlike natural
disasters, it does not rally concerted international
action, despite the fact that more people die each
year from drinking dirty water than from the world’s
hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, and earthquakes
combined.

This is a silent crisis experienced by the poor,
and tolerated by those with the resources,
technology, and the political power to end it.
Yet this is a crisis that is holding back human
progress, consigning large segments of humanity
to lives of poverty, vulnerability, and insecurity.

At Living Water International, we are addressing
this most basic of needs by helping deprived
communities acquire safe, clean water. Our goal is
to substantially ease the global water crisis while
addressing root causes such as injustice, oppression,
and abject poverty. As this happens, communities
and worldviews are transformed—both among those
in desperate physical need, and among those who
have been blessed with much.

These are just a few...I will be putting up more
links as time goes by.

I have also made a commitment to myself to
go to our beautiful Rock River right here where
I live, to do a personal ritual/ceremony to bless
The Water...all life flows to the sea!
Here is a view of The Mighty Rock as viewed
from Big Hills Park which has been a part of
many a family picnic in my family.

You too can do the same where you live?

Something that has been in my awareness
for a long time now is how women love to
dye their hair to get rid of the grey that is
coming in or to change it up to give life to
a new look.  I am asking you to reconsider.
There are alternatives...
I had bought a box of Nice and Easy months
ago and it sat on my counter for a long while.
This was long before the Oil Rape...at any
rate the morning I was going to put the
color in my hair to cover up my grey I heard
in my spirit...'are you going to put more
chemicals into my earth?'  I immediately
stopped what I was doing and decided at
that point that I was going to make a huge
shift in my endeavors as to what was going
down the drains at my home.  I will not be
a part of poisoning the waters of Mother
Earth if I can help it.  I have slowly been
switching over to using Earth Friendly soaps.
Yes, they are a bit more expensive but my
heart doesn't lurch each time I reach for
something either.  So all of you Lovelies out
there who read my words I hope you will
reconsider what you are putting into the
waters where you live.  It takes many steps
to get where we are going but I believe
together WE CAN DO IT!

With that, I leave you to enjoy your lovely
day and pray that each of you are spending
it the best way FOR YOU!  :)

Mitakuye Oyasin!

Happy Birthday America!!!

America The Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain;

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood,

From sea to shining sea.



O beautiful for heroes proved

In liberating strife,

Who more than self their country loved,

And mercy more than life!

America! America!

May God thy gold refine,

Till all success be nobleness,

And every gain divine.



O beautiful for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years

Thine alabaster cities gleam,

Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!

God mend thine every flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self control,

Thy liberty in law.

A Beautiful Sharing...

I wanted to share with all of you this
most beautiful Water Ceremony as it
was shared with me.  I asked for
permission to reshare it here and
Rev. Vajra Ma graciously gave that
permission, so I thank her profusely!

If you would like to use it you must ask
permission to do so, as in ceremony or
ritual all things are Sacred and Honored.

The beautiful poem shared by Persephone
Wolfshadow is very moving and touched
me to the core.

Thank You!

Water ceremony at the Southern Oregon Temple of the Goddess Sunday, June27, 2010, in solidarity with ceremony held in New Orleans, Minneapolis and around the world— “Apology to the Spirit of the Sea, for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill” (photo--Yoruba altar with Yemaya, at SOTG)


Eight congregants and presiding Priestess Vajra Ma did ceremony with fresh local spring water that had been gathered that morning, contained in a brilliant blue altar chalice. First, Priestess Vajra Ma sprinkled some of the water on a sensually curved dried seaweed she had recently found at the ocean: Water returned to its source. Then she took the seaweed to the Temple’s Yoruba Altar and offered it to Yemaya, Goddess of the Ocean. She held up the chalice into the center of the circle while Persephone Wolfshadow read her devotional poem of apology and adoration to the spring water and the Waters of the World:

[excerpts] "…Sweet water, coming from the deepest earth…sweet and energizing as you are to us, we must treat your mother the ocean far better than we do…I’m so sorry my dear love water…I have seen your beauty dear sister. I have felt your purity wash my soul of sadness . Your ocean surges and purges the hate of the world. You connect us to each other, all religions, water encompasses all. You nourish us in the womb and stay with us to death…we must protect you."

Vajra Ma then poured the water from the altar chalice into individual cups which each participant held to their heart, imbuing the water with gratitude and love, (knowing that water crystals respond as per Masuro Emoto's research and photographs).

We meditated on the countless times in our lives when we were blessed by water---drinking it, bathing in it, weeping and sweating it, cooking with it, seeing it in lakes, rivers, ocean and the sky, eating it in food, and in the many other ways water is part of our lives. We reflected on how we were mindful or unmindful of the blessing and interaction with water over the years. We sent gratitude and awareness to the times when we were not as mindful as we now know to be.

After imbuing the water in our cups with love and gratitude, we sent this same intention and vibration into the waters in our town, the pipes of the building we were in and the homes around us, into the streams and clouds and into the waters in the Rogue River that runs nearby. Into the water in our bodies and in all the human, animal and plant bodies in our region. Then we expanded this to the ocean and waters around the world into all countries, homes, creatures, plants and people, with special awareness of the waters and creatures which are poisoned from the oil-bleeding wound in the Gulf of Mexico.

Persephone read another devotional poem of praise and healing to the Mother Waters.[excerpts] “…O wondrous water dance with us, we will give you energy

to heal the wound we have created. We pour our magic at your sacred streams that course to the rivers which surge to the ocean. Our magick and intent will help nurse the ocean to health, without you life is impossible…”

We then handed the cup to the person next to us, acknowledging how our love and gratitude affects and flows to those around us. Then, one at a time, around the circle each person dipped their fingers into the water and anointed the forehead of the person to their left, pronouncing a blessing upon them, whatever words and feeling flowed from our heart---like water. And so nine blessings were spoken. Priestess Vajra Ma then brought the empty altar chalice to each person who poured their water back, refilling the chalice in offering to the Great Mother Water. What we offer is already and always Hers—Source--flowing from Her to us and back to Her. Water is one. (end of ritual)

WATER is the DIVINE MOTHER in action and She calling us to awaken. WATER is the MOTHER and MIRROR of the SOUL of HUMANITY and She is calling us to unite as one human family, to remember who we are. Along with my grief, I take heart in how all the degradation, disrespect, ignorance, greed and destruction humanity has perpetrated over the centuries is presently being reflected in WATER. Water is the final place, we can go no further, for SHE is LIFE. We must awaken or die. She is calling us to awaken. So be it!”
~ Rev. Vajra Ma ~

Good Morning!

As we move into our celebrations of
Freedom this weekend I hope we can
all remember that word specifically.
Freedom...within and without.  Not
giving a voice to being safe, which I
had been saying until I listened to a
meditation earlier which reminded me
that our focus should be instead on
Freedom...that we need to connect
that with our core essence instead of
living in that 'safe' mode.  It is when
we step outside of our comfort zones
and live in our Freedom that we truly
find out who we are and the courage
that we find when we do so.  That is
truly Independence.

I am off and running today as I've a
million things to accomplish before
the heat returns to my neck of the
woods this weekend.  I've been
spending lots of time outdoors
with my Daughter and Grandaughter,
getting the weeding and trimming
done for another period of time, watering
from the rain water I've been collecting,
and watching all of the things I have
growing in my 'garden of sorts.'  I put
everything in big pots this year to make
it easier for me to garden as I am not
ready to give that up just yet, lol.
Everything seems to be doing exceedingly
well and I am so happy about that!  :)

So let's see...I should be picking my first
crop of Cherokee Wax Beans this weekend.
The Swiss Chard is about 3 inches tall...I
got that planted later this year but it is
coming right along.  The cucumbers are
flowering so I should be seeing those
little babies coming in soon.  I have lots
of tomato blossoms as well as tomatoes
that are getting quite big and I cannot
wait to pick the first one and sit there
with a salt shaker and take my first,
big juicy bite!  I put in more beans last
week and they are already up.  With all
the rain and heat we've been having this
summer everything is doing very well.
I usually have everything in by Mother's
Day each year but this year it was
several weeks past that before we could
plant as we were still having killing frosts
at night.

My flower gardens are doing quite well too!
I have many different colors of Daylilly and
I have been taking pictures of them in the
early mornings and after the rains...they
smell so sweet and fresh and bring me
much pleasure.  I have a new geranium I
bought from a woman last year at her
rummage sale that is a purplish blue and
has the most delicate little flowers on it.
It spreads, so it is creeping through the
flower bed this year and looks so pretty.
I divided up my Bleeding Hearts this year
so now I've two very big bushes of that
and I see they have now seeded under
my deck so in the fall I will transplant
those and put them somewhere too. 
The picture below is the first year I had
lived here and doesn't even look like it
does now...we are minus the broken
windmill out in the middle of the yard
and everything is much more defined
and culled out with more new plantings,
but you can get the general idea.
Along the fencelines out back I've
culled out lots too and have begun
planting ferns and some different types
of grasses.  It had been neglected quite
badly back there and will take me a few
more years of planting new things and
making it more pleasing to the eye and
spirit.

Firekeeper gave me a raspberry bush he
planted at school last year and it is really
doing well.  The cane is nice and strong
and shooting right up there.  In a few
more years I will have nice raspberries
to make jam with, and I love them in
a bowl of cream with a little sugar
sprinkled on them.  My Grandmother
used to serve berries that way to us
when we were young and it was the
best treat ever after being out picking
in the hot sun all day.  Even after we'd
eaten just as much as we picked?

So...I am off and running to get my day

started...I do hope you all have a great
weekend celebrating Independence Day
with your loved ones or however you
choose to celebrate the many wonderful
Freedoms we have in our country. We
truly are a blessed people living here.
We enjoy so much more than other
people in other countries and I never
lose sight of that.

Don't forget to keep sending up your
prayers for the waters, all the creatures,
each other and a getting a fix to the
bleeding gash of our Beloved Mother
Earth. WE All have to do Our Part.

There is a beautiful prayer over at
Spirituality and Practice by Medica
that I just found if you'd like to take
a peek and pray it...here is the link,
just click on it:
http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/quotes/quotes.php?id=19960

Until next time I wish for you a day
of happiness and joy in whatever you
endeavor and peace along the way.

Happy 4th of July!

A Channeling from the Akashic Records for July

A Channeling from the Akashic Records of July 2010


What energy and experiences can we expect in July 2010?

This month has a lot of forward momentum. This month also has a time warp element, which is that it is like double or triple the amount of time is packed into the month. A lot of you are going to feel like more is happening than you can keep track of. This time warp operates in an interesting way. The best way we can describe it is if you imagine yourself on a very fast moving train. As you first begin to pick up speed and you watch outside the window, you see things going by faster and faster and it feels like you are moving really fast. Once you reach a certain speed, everything seems to go by in a blur and there is kind of a strange sensation that can occur at that point when you feel like things slow down. You will feel like things get quieter when you actually reach such a high speed, almost as if you are not moving. That is the way July is likely to feel.

Many of you will feel at times, that there is so much happening in just a moment or just an hour, it will feel like a whole day goes by. At other times of the month, you are going to feel like you are moving through molasses. Like everything is so slow and peaceful that you will wonder if you are missing something. How you experience this time warp will depend on you and your path and what you are working on in your personal life right now. Overall, every single one of you will experience the time warp in one way or another. For most of you it will be both ways at different times in the month. This month, be aware of that dynamic and do your best to go with the flow and work with it.

Let the really rich, intense kind of packed times be what they are and just take them one step at a time. During those times when you are moving so fast you cannot even tell that you are moving, let yourself rest your mind. You are not missing anything or if you are missing something that is important, it will come to your attention later on. Let yourself have these moments of rest when you feel a sense of calm amidst all of that momentum.

This month seems to have a lot of potential for social change. This month seems to have potential for a lot of public events that draw the attention of the world. These are the kinds of things that show up in the news. Be aware of that potential and many of you will feel that potential all month. Like you are just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

How can we best work with the energy this month?

Relieve yourself from being task-oriented. In any given situation, your attention focuses on one particular aspect of the situation in order to keep you oriented to what is happening. Some people are naturally aligned to be task-oriented. They get things done, they are aware of what is happening in the material world. Some people are people-oriented. Whatever is happening, they tend to be aware of what people are saying, how people are feeling. This month, do not get distracted by the tasks at hand. Do not get too distracted or too focused on the tasks that need to be accomplished in your life this month. Keep your awareness on the bigger picture. Keep your awareness on your relationships and how they are developing in those moments." It will matter less this month, whether a certain task is done and it will matter more how people feel about doing it and how well you connect with each other.

There is a tendency because of the discomfort in that forward momentum and just all of the extra energy and information this month; there will be a tendency for many of you to go into survival mode. Where you do not pay too much attention to the people around you. Ultimately the way to benefit from this month is to stay grounded in your social, loving relationships. To keep yourself aware of other people and what they might need or what they might be experiencing. You are going to find that because most people are losing track of that, most people are slipping into being task oriented this month. You are going to find that if you are the only person paying attention to the relationships, it is actually going to give you a lot of power -- not power over people, but power to shift the energy of the situation. To bring a certain lightness or optimism or to help answer people's deeper needs when they are not really taking care of themselves. If you can be there and do that, you have the power to make the situation go a lot more smoothly for everyone, including for you.

Where if you get pulled into task oriented and you lose track of that social sphere, you will find that situations will not go as well and when they are not going well, it will be difficult to solve them or resolve the situation. The key this month is to stay aware of your social relationships, stay aware of the social dynamics around you and be willing to make adjustments in order to smooth those situations in the social realm. You will find that all the tasks at hand eventually get done anyway. What people will walk away with is a further development or devolvement of their relationships. That is a key for working with the energy and the experience of the month.

The other thing to know is that because things are moving so fast, it will not be useful to try to stay focused on a single goal. That being said, it is likely that all of you are going to get a lot done this month. It might be the kind of process that feels haphazard or chaotic as you go, but then at the end of the day, you are going to look back and realize that you actually got a lot accomplished. Be flexible with your to-do lists, be flexible with your goals, but keep finding something to be engaged with. It is not a good time to disengage. It is a good time to stay awake, engaged and active in your lives, but know that it will be nonlinear.

Are there any important days for us to be aware of this month?

July 7 is like a glittering star. It packs a punch and it will be a day when you may feel jolted awake -- when you are forced to face things you were not facing before or you are finally able to see the solution to a puzzle in your life. It is a day for “aha moments.” You may find metaphorical light bulbs going off in your head. Take some time on this day to stop and look around at the bigger picture of your life and consider new possibilities. If you will just take the little bit of effort to pay attention, the Universe will provide signs all around you to give you the information that you need.

July 13 and 14 are days that may be difficult for many of you. It looks like a turning point and it is like this feeling of suddenly walking through mud. Many of you are going to feel like you have been humming along and suddenly things get really slow. That can be frustrating. You may see a lot of people losing their patience on these two days and it is important that as many of you as possible bring a sense of loving, kind, compassionate energy into those two days because there will be so much frustration. Those two days get so muggy and sluggish that people will become volatile because they will be frustrated. Just bring a cooling, peaceful energy into your life during those days and you will be able to help everyone else out a lot.

July 17 - 21 are especially productive days. It is a good time for you to plan productive activities.

Is there anything else the Keepers want to tell us about this month?

Yes. There seems to be something about animals this month that is important for many of you. The animal world is communicating with the human world in all kinds of ways right now. The animal world is very much involved in all of your Enlightenment process and they are giving you messages both by representing themselves as metaphors, but also there are personal animals appearing to you on an individual level to get your attention.

It is important this month, especially if you feel connected with animals, it is important to pay attention to what animals come into your vision. They might come physically like physically in your presence. They might appear on the television or they might appear in your dreams.

Research the totem meaning of any animals that appear to you. Consider in your heart what that animal represents to you. Look for messages and meanings in the animals around you because the animal kingdom has kind of stepped it up a notch. They have all together, increased their contract with humanity, made it more potent and they're working more or showing themselves more to you in an effort to help you wake up to yourselves. Pay attention to animals this month. Do not ignore them or disregard them -- even the insects that come into your house or crawl across your desk. They have a message for you, so pay attention.
***************************************************************
A Channeling from the Akashic Records of the USA (in its entirety)


What is Barack Obama's karmic role in leading the U.S. at this time?

Barack Obama's karmic contract is to be a leader for the world, not just a leader for the U.S. His legal contract is to lead the U.S, but his karmic contract is to be a leader for the world. His karmic contract is to be a catalyst for enlightening change in the world. A catalyst is a substance or an object that facilitates change. It does not make the change occur – instead, it initiates and enhances a process and that is precisely what his role is to be. In fact, his contract to be a catalyst for a certain process has already been accomplished. His initial contract was fulfilled during and just after his election campaign. The changes he was meant to facilitate occurred in the hearts and minds of people across the world.

With his initial karmic contract fulfilled, he is now working to support the changes that are only possible if they are created and upheld by the citizens of the world. A catalyst is a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction, or a person that inspires an event or change to take place. A catalyst can signal a process to begin and it can enhance or speed up a process that is already underway. Barack Obama is doing both. He helped initiate a process and he is also helping to enhance or make more efficient a process that is already under way. The process is human empowerment, which is both a result of and the driving force for healing of the human family.

Barack Obama is not the only catalyst and he is not the only leader involved in this work. There are many other world leaders, both official and non-official, who do this work. The catalyst that he provides is unique. This role can be seen most clearly in what was fulfilled during his election campaign, where most of his karmic contract was fulfilled. The speeches that he gave and the particular way that he ran his campaign catalyzed a process inside millions of people across the world. The messages and actions that took place during his campaign initiated and activated a process within millions of individuals, and a process across many societies, by which human beings are becoming empowered enough to dismantle oppressive forces and create more light and love, effectually making the world a better place. (As you might imagine, this is the dramatically short version.)

In a sense, Barack Obama’s karmic contract was to be a catalyst for hope. Hope only works in the individuals who choose to carry it or act on it. The effects of his catalytic process were most outwardly apparent in the ways that people were activated to vote or to make changes in their communities. But the greatest actual effects occurred within people’s minds and hearts. The massive shift toward hope and empowerment cannot be measured but rest assured, the world is a more peaceful place and more people have moved forward in enlightenment based on the role he has played. Now, the work and the way forward are yours to determine.

Once Barack Obama entered the presidency, his role as a catalyst has been somewhat diminished because people have a tendency to cease their own empowerment when they turn to a powerful leader. This occurs because people, through the dynamics of oppression, have learned to turn their own authority over to their leaders. People in nearly every culture on the planet have learned to wait for their leaders to take decisive action, and in waiting each individual forfeits their own power to affect change.

Citizens in the U.S. have exhibited a tendency to imagine that once Barack Obama was in an official leadership position that he would take care of things. When you wait for your leaders to instruct you, or you sit back and blame others for their missteps, you lose track of your own power, and it becomes easy to lose faith in your own ability to create positive change in the world around you.

Remember that all of you have been oppressed in one way or another. It is not your fault that you have been oppressed, but it is your responsibility to actively choose to reassign your personal authority to yourself, to re-determine and revitalize yourselves to make positive changes in the world around you. This reclaiming of your personal power, and it’s collective potential, ultimately is the process that Barack Obama was meant to catalyze. His calling is to inspire all the citizens in the world into action. He will not make the world a better place through his actions; instead, he inspires all of you to make the world a better place.

As long as each of you is taking responsibility and doing what you can to improve the world within your sphere of influence, then you are using him positively as a catalyst. If people do not use his leadership role to further inspire and empower themselves into action, then the usefulness of his role will expire. It will no longer be useful for him to be in the role of a world leader officially if the role of catalyst is not being fulfilled. It is vitally important that all of you continue to remember that he is not here to make change, he is here to inspire you to make change. That is the role he came here to perform, that is the karmic contract that he signed up for. Most of this has been accomplished on his end of the contract. Of course as a president he has legal and societal contracts to fulfill, but outcome of his karmic contract now depends upon you. (January 2010)

Will the Keepers comment on the New World Order and what it means to personal freedoms?

The term 'New World Order' was coined in the service of a political agenda. Its evolution, its use, and all of the energy people carry about it is infused with that political agenda. The term was coined in order to cultivate fear. For the most part, the New World Order as it was initially foreseen has already occurred. The word for it from here with hindsight, as you have seen it occur, is globalization. Globalization has already occurred and the new world order is emerging. The term as it was originally coined is no longer an accurate representation of what globalization has come to be.

Instead, what is emerging is a new set of values, ethics, practices, communication styles and power dynamics based on the inevitable fact of globalization. You are seeing this now. So many of the diplomatic engagements occurring between countries are occurring in ways that have never occurred before. Take for example World War I or World War II, it was possible and even natural that two sides of an argument could each be intriguing enough that if a group of countries would take one side or the other so that you would have a world war that involved one group against another group. What you will find now is more consensus in regard to values, ethics, and practices amongst countries so that instead of having groups of countries truly divided, instead of having those kind of ally relationships, what you will have is a kind of general consensus as modeled by the new united nations and what you might call rogue countries or countries, governments or groups who deviate from the ethics, values and the practices that have emerged as part of globalization. A great example of this is North Korea. What you are finding now is that different countries are deciding whether to join the consensus or whether to operate in a rogue fashion. The new world order, all those things you were taught to fear in regard to losing your personal freedoms are not really accurate any more. That sense that there will be guiding principles and even governments that oversee the entire world is accurate. That has been in place for a long time. The United Nations was an early version of that. It will continue to grow.

What the idea of the new world order and the fear it engendered did not take into account is that through globalization, all the individual people would be moving around and becoming connected to one another. Millions of individuals migrating from one country to another, billions of individuals coming to recognize the value of diversity, the importance of personal freedom, the value of every human life. As so many of you have adopted those values and let yourselves open up to people who are different from you, you have developed more empathy and understanding for one another and for the connections between you. It becomes impossible for your personal freedoms to be as severely limited as they would have been in the past. While it is not perfect, for those of you who are concerned about the new world order, you might consider laying that chapter to rest and asking yourself instead what do I see in globalization and what actions are there for me to take in regard to globalization. You will find more and more that there is no way you can just move to a more comfortable place.

It has become so important that you make the place where you are as comfortable as you can. Meaning that it is so important that you fight for the rights for those around you that are oppressed rather than trying to corner yourselves in a so-called safe place with those who are similar to you. It is important that you connect with those who are different and fight just as hard for their personal freedoms as you would for your own. As you do that, the new world order that will continue to emerge will be based on a system of values and ethics that supports personal freedom in a way that is even greater than what was initially idealized by the founders of the United States. It all depends on you as individuals. No government at this point is as powerful as you as individuals when you collect yourselves. This is only beginning to be understood, so watch for the story to unfold. (July 2009)

BEAR QUINTUPLETS

Black bears typically have two cubs; rarely, one or three. In 2007, in northern New Hampshire , a black bear Sow gave birth to five healthy young. There were two or three reports of sows with as many as 4 cubs, but five was, and is, very extraordinary.



I learned of them shortly after they emerged from their den and set myself a goal of photographing all five cubs with their mom - no matter how much time and effort was involved. I knew the trail they followed on a fairly regular basis, usually shortly before dark.



After spending nearly four hours a day, seven days a week, for more than six weeks, I had that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and photographed them.



I used the equivalent of a very fast film speed on my digital camera.



The print is properly focused and well exposed, with all six bears posing as if they were in a studio for a family portrait.

I stayed in touch with other people who saw the bears during the summer and into the fall hunting season. All six bears continued to thrive. As time for hibernation approached, I found still more folks who had seen them, and everything remained O K . I stayed away from the bears as I was concerned that they might become habituated to me, or to people in general, and treat them as `approachable friends´. This could easily become dangerous for both man and animal.



After Halloween, I received no further reports and could only hope the bears survived until they hibernated.



This spring, just before the snow disappeared, all six bears came out of their den and wandered all over the same familiar territory they trekked in the spring of 2007.



I saw them before mid-April and dreamed nightly of taking another family portrait, a highly improbable second once-in-a-lifetime photograph.



On 25 April 2008, I achieved my dream.

When something as magical as this happens between man and animal, Native Americans say, "We have walked together in the shadow of a rainbow". And so it is with humility and great pleasure that I share these exhilarating photos with you. Do pass them on!
