New Earth Wisdom

I was in a dream-like state but awake when I suddenly found myself standing on bare Earth, surrounded by mountains, wilderness and sky. Seeing no one, I asked, “Hello? Is anyone here?”, and the response was an echo of my voice that was very clear, like it had bounced back from the sky.

Suddenly the sky darkened as the sun grew an odd color of gold and I saw a giant crack in the Earth, spreading from miles before me but coming straight for me. Assuming it was an Earthquake, I realized I didn’t know what to do because part of me knew I was having a vision. (However, what you do in a vision can reveal more and more depending!)

I just stood there as the crack arrived violently and split right between my feet. There was no time to run, so I decided to jump to one side which felt unstable, so I held onto the side of the Earth with all my might.

Suddenly I had an inkling: Fall. Just fall. All the way down. Why? I don’t know, but you need to let go, I heard my heart say.

So I did. I let go and I fell wildly and landed, eventually softly on a rock surrounded by a forest.

I felt calm here, and realized letting go was the right decision. Here, deep beneath the Earth I felt safe.

I noticed I was sitting on a rock that felt like truth itself. I felt the first truth come from the rock. The rock told me that my partner and I had crossed fates 20 years before we were together and ten years before we met. That our life paths, at that point, were destined to cross.

I had heard something similar before: “You are the same spirit age”, whispered in the forest once by the trees.

I looked around on the rock. To my right, I found a guitar and began to sing to what looked like a beautiful canyon beyond. As I sang, I felt empty and wondered why.

A voice behind me came out: “you are singing to an illusion”

I turned to look around and there were animals that lived in the forest and spoke, mostly cute looking bears and upright rabbits. One of the bears walked over to toward the canyon and pushed a button that turned off what felt like a projector, which snapped back on a few seconds later. “See, it’s fake”, he said.

I realized I was singing to an illusion. I realized that in my actual life somewhere, maybe, just maybe I had been singing in the wrong direction.

I turned to the animals to try to sing to them. At first, it was okay. Then, my voice couldn’t fully express and the pitch was off. The animals looked like an unamused crowd, as they should be.

I put down my guitar, and began to sing: first, to the illusion, which made my voice sound beautiful. Knowing that didn’t matter, I sang to the bears. They heard me singing from my heart and lit up in their hearts, slowly lulled to the music and beamed. Then, my heart wasn’t in it.

What was going on? I thought, as the animals all booed me.

I found a harp and began to play. My fingers delicately traced the strings and the whole forest lit up with beautiful music. I enjoyed this so much.

Soon after, I sat on the rock. To my right was the illusion. To my left, the bears. Behind me.. was the darkness I had been avoiding, mixed with the future.

I slowly gazed behind me at the dark night and forest and said, “okay, what are you?”

The answer didn’t come back in words but in feeling. The darkness told me I had been in fear of danger as was the pattern my whole life as I was in survival. It told me the darkness was the worry. Underneath, everything was going to be okay and work out.

From behind me, I felt a warm wind blow through me with the feelings of contentment coming from the future, allowing the darkness to integrate so I could stop looking for danger. A whisper repeated: “everything is going to be okay. Feel the future winds blowing safety and allowance”

I looked down once more at the rock and I saw my partner’s name with mine in a heart. The animals said that we came down in 1996 to make this happen. I asked about how that was possible but spirit guides.. they aren’t big into questions. They did tell me, however, that we did this from the future. And that shut me up.

I turned around to see the dark forest and walked into it asking all darkness to reveal itself and come home. I planted a seed in the dark, in the cold night, by a soft tree and padded the Earth with all my heart. I then clung to the tree for hope, and because I was so cold here in the dark.

Suddenly I heard a commotion to my right. My son was running through the dark and as he did, he lit up along his legs.

“Follow me”, he said.

So I did. I had to run, as he was running fast and giggling, zig zagging this way and that through the forest as if he had done this many times before.

Finally, we got to a beautiful mountain with sunlight.

“See?” he said, ten years old and beaming. “I can get you to the light easily and quickly! Watch!” he said, and disappeared at full speed back into the forest.

Within a few moments, he was back and had run all that way! Or was it a long way? I wasn’t sure.

“Let me show you something”, said my son. He had me open my left palm. “Here”, he said, “we have invisible knobs and I am going to adjust yours”.

He pulled out a device of sorts that started to read my hand in symbols I couldn’t understand.

He drew my hand toward him and turned the place between my pinky finger and ring finger like a dial that I felt in real life. “This brings back your vital energy”, he explained. He turned several other knobs on precise locations on my palm. “This one is so you can always see clearly”, he continued, “and this one is so your repair functions are working top notch”, he said, “and lastly, this one is for your heart to hold onto every experience”. He smiled before zipping away into the dark forest.

I realized I was learning a lot here, in this level under the Earth. However, I knew somehow there was more. I sat down and started digging until I could pry the Earth apart and come through the top of yet another world.

This new world was covered in mist. This meant I wasn’t relaxed enough in my body for the vision to give me more so I let go in my throat where holding had been for too long. I was ready,

Castles, floating angels, lush lands and bubbles of aura and others of a weird, congealed color. However, I noticed my partner standing on the edge of a cliff on a rock, like he had been there for years. He looked happier than I had ever seen him.

First, I inquired about the weird aura bubbles. This inquiry was okay. “That was the hard, tough part of life you had to go through to get here. Both times”, he said.

“I don’t want to go back to those”, I said as I saw a storm appear within one which spooked me a bit.

“But, you are the storm”, he said.

He was right, I was the storm. I came into this life through a bolt of lightening and I was that spark. I remembered my storm nature and felt stronger.

I noticed I was floating in the sky, unable to come closer to my love but I was okay just floating there somehow.

“It took us a long time to get here Nayah, but we did it my love”, he said, gesturing to something covered in mist.

He continued on. “None of it was easy, but it was our mission and our legacy and we completed this part of the mission. When this life ends, our mission is not over. But I want you to know that we did it, we had dreams and we achieved them. And we did it all for the kids. But what’s more, we did it for humanity, and in the end, all we do is for love. We made this dream out of love”.

I still didn’t know what the dream was but let that go as I realized I was coming to my love, floating ever closer before landing with him on a rock that felt so sturdy and safe somehow.

A storm gathered in the distance and I still hesitated.

“Press your palms against mine”, he said. So I did. And then I noticed his tattoo. His tattoo of a lightening bolt on his right palm. Just like.. all my dreams of being lightening.

“That’s how you found me”, he said. “Once you met me, it was destined. This is how you felt it”.

I agreed whole heartedly. I felt the warmth of his palms on mine and my palms were radiating heat where I was lying as well.

We held hands and he turned me to face the storm. “We face the storm together”, he said. And I wanted to cry, not brace, but just melt into the idea that I now knew I would brave any storm with him. I’d never felt safe enough to do this before, but it was happening from our future.

Suddenly, I was drawn into the valley I always dream of. I never see people here, just a place where I know I lived at some point.

I was entering from the water, which I would usually find strange but in the vision I chose to plunge into water, feeling the valley after leaving my love. I arrived on the shore which had the most beautiful, perfect round white rocks.

I noticed the whole tribe was there. Our home, it was intact. I felt myself a stranger and then I knew I was to wear our tribal clothes. Once they all recognized me, they hugged me as though they had missed a part of themselves. I never realized a tribe felt like this: so communal that it’s integral, essential, and there are enough people to hold each other accountable but not too many. And this, was my family, I felt.

All this time I imagined my life as a Native American as well as my ancestors as lonely, like Western culture lonely. However, a tribe feels like protection, love, purpose, and takes away no freedom. What a feeling.

I was suddenly in limbo for about a half an hour before I could fully open my eyes.

What preceded this opening to spirit.. will come next
