Foreword
This book is built as a bridge, both to the Inner Realm of
true self, and to what many have perceived as the Outer Realm
of Spirit. The reader chooses whether to cross, or not cross,
over this bridge. Those who do cross will, along the way, find
a new understanding of what it means to have a right relationship
with self, and a right relationship with communities of faith
whether in spirit or on the earth.
Readers who come to this work from a Judeo-Christian tradition
may feel some apprehension at the thought of people of faith
having friendships with lives in spirit. From the early traditions
of Judaism, much caution was advised to people of this faith
tradition in the seeking of relationship with spirit.
In I Samuel Chapter 28 we read that King Saul felt led to
expel all mediums and spirits from the nation of Israel. Yet,
the same chapter describes how the righteous prophet Samuel appears
to Saul with words of truth, through the vehicle of just such
a “medium.” Never the less, it is also explained in
this chapter that King Saul had first pursued this same truth
in his own prayers to Jehovah, and through the priests of his
own tradition. The words of Samuel, given through Saul’s
medium, only serve to further confirm the truth to him. And then,
the medium ministers to King Saul and his men, providing them
a nurturing meal to send them on their way to what, they have
been told in truth, will be a dark destiny indeed.
Other traditions also teach caution in invitations to relationship
with spirit. Native American traditions offer prayers of protection
from the presence of “confusing spirits” when these
ceremonies begin. The author of this book frequently prays for
protection in preparation for her inner journeys. There is a
specific prayer she has been given to offer up each time she
begins her inner journeys through meditation. In the text of
this book this prayer is highlighted with a unique symbol each
place it appears. The author commends this prayer to all those
bearing a good heart toward “The One.” And toward the
community of faith travelers, in spirit and flesh, for their
own journeys to awaken to their Whole Self.
This book is not intended to supplant or replace the various
faith traditions of its readers. It is intended to teach the
importance of right relations within these various communities
of faith, and the importance of working together with those communities
to bring the “wonder, joy, love, gratitude and inspiration”
of “The One” more completely into daily life. It teaches
a way to bring the Kingdom of God to earth, as taught by Jesus
in the prayer he gave to his disciples.
This book also teaches that the place to begin is within yourself.
In answer to a question of the Pharisees concerning “when
the Kingdom of God would come,” Jesus replies, “The
Kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor
will people say ‘Here it is’ or ‘There it is,’
because the Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 19:20,21)
The author’s spirit friend, Homer, tells her in Chapter
15 that the central key to inner spiritual growth is kindness
to true self. Without this sense of kindness in relationship
to self, there can be no kindness to others. And without this,
the journey into wonder and joy is impossible.
The paradox of this journey within is the simultaneous need
to die to the self, represented by the physical body and what
others have identified (as in A Course in Miracles) as human
ego. The author graphically depicts how she must pass this test
each time a new dimension is reached. Only by facing each “death”
with courage is she able to gather the authentic personal power
to continue her journeys.
And of what practical use is personal power? The author finds
one answer. The personal power gathered from this inner journey,
and its necessary death to illusions of self, provides the means
to conceive and create purpose in our daily lives. “And
what is our purpose?” she writes. “Whatever you create
it to be!” is the answer of spirit. The author makes it
very clear that spirit is made available to us for our help in
this task—not to tell us what to do!! This is the difference
between having friendships with spirit, and what has been considered
“divination” by many in the past. Relationship with
spirit is properly sought to work together toward a proper purpose,
and not to control events for purposes of personal ego or earthly
gain. This means that the most sacred part of this book is actually
you, the reader. What you learn, and how you use it in creating
your life purpose and meaning are what is most important.
The other clear message of this book is that friends in spirit—those
who have gone before us—also need our help. This is a concept
which was widely taught in the early Christian church but in
recent times has fallen somewhat out of fashion. The recent passing
of Pope John Paul II, and the ceremonies celebrating the “biggest
funeral in the history of the world” have refocused attention
on this truth. People of faith from all over the globe found
it meaningful to pray for him in his passing. This book wishes
to leave no doubt that these prayers are being heard. We can
and need to pray for Karol Jozef Wojtyla, that his work in the
next life will serve to heal the church and empower it to successfully
reach out to other communities of faith.
Readers from eastern traditions will find much in this book
which is compatible with their spiritual practices as well. The
art of meditation is a skill which is now reaching popularity
in the West, through works such as that of Lama Surya Das, Finding
the Buddha Within. The masters of those traditions, both in spirit
and in flesh, are also recognized here.
This book is thus dedicated to all those bearing a good heart
toward one another, and to those who recognize a great longing
within to serve faithfully in the service of The One. This day
you have chosen the Lord you will serve.
Love, Inspiration, Gratitude, Joy and Wonder to
you all.

Preface
On 10 April 2003 my life was forever changed. It was the day
Homer Hefty made his appearance into my life, but not in the
usual way. You see, Homer had died in March and this was April,
twelve days after he left his physical body. I teach Conscious
Manifesting skills to a group in Tucson, Arizona, where Homer
unexpectedly showed up one evening during our prayer and meditation
time. It happened when member Margaret Mott put Homer’s
wife, Marge, into the prayer circle for some love and prayer
support because her husband had recently passed away. I immediately
saw (with inner sight) a short, square man at the other end of
the table shaking people on the shoulder as he made his way closer
to me. When I asked the group for the name of Marge’s husband
several group members replied, “Homer.” (see Appendix:
Homer) It turned out that six circle members, out of thirteen
attending, knew both Homer and Marge while I had not known either
of them. My fellow circle members were not unfamiliar with these
kinds of things happening, nor my inner sight. However, what
would become near constant communication with a human being who
had crossed over into the next life was new for me.
After that first night, and the messages I relayed to the
group from Homer, none of us knew that I would develop an ongoing
relationship with him. It was a real surprise when Homer woke
me up in the middle of the night two nights later. It was even
more of a surprise when he continued to show up telling me he
had “networked” with others of like-mind on the other
side. Neither of us knew how long this opening would last and
Homer wanted to make the best of this opportunity saying that
there “weren’t many clear channels” with which
to communicate. I actually begged Homer to “find someone
else to talk to” since he had been an educated and experienced
engineer and a long time metaphysician during his life in human
form. He knew many people skilled in this kind of communication.
I was getting distracted from my own business. I was already
two months behind on a video production, and starting to lose
sleep at night. Consequently my daytime composure, as a businesswoman
and a mother parenting my two sons, began to get lost.
The readers of my first book, Partnering with Spirit: Homer’s
Journey will know that this constant contact with someone who
wanted me to share information from the Inner Realms was new
and stressful for me. I come from a small town in southern Minnesota,
and a conservative religious background. I have always pursued
a spiritual life of meditation and prayer and have had the benefit
of inner teachers from my earliest memories. But this was a very
private thing, shared with only my most intimate friends and
family. I was not seeking what might be called “psychic”
experiences. Yet, as my meditation experience matured, these
are exactly the experiences that began overtaking my spiritual
practice. It has been a difficult adjustment for me, to say the
least, to receive this intrusion into my life in a balanced and
matter-of-fact way. The experiences themselves with Homer and
others aren’t uncomfortable, but I fear what others will
think about them. That scares me. I’m more comfortable now
sharing my growing “inner sight,” but I can’t
say I’ll ever be comfortable “going public” with
this very private thing. People can be very unkind. Homer’s
response to these concerns? “We are only servants to a Higher
Purpose.” What could I say to that?
I lead a quiet and deliberate life in my home in Tucson, having
a daily meditation practice, teaching Chinese energy medicine
(see Appendix: Qigong), mentoring healers/intuitives from around
the country, and producing videos on Qigong and Conscious Manifesting
principles. Having this unexpected company in my normally busy
but secluded life became more than a little annoying. As I developed
more courage in my friendship with Homer, I would tell him, “Homer,
this isn’t my second career. You need to find someone else
to talk to! I’m way past other deadlines so I don’t
have time for this.” I was astonished when he eventually
replied to this, “You’re right. This isn’t your
second career. It’s your first career.” Immediate feelings
of terror whooshed through my body when Homer said this. I was
hit with the realization that I might not be entirely in control
of what was happening. This fact, and the continued messages
from this man I never knew while in the physical, forever changed
me. In a sense, they “broke” me and although I would
never have said this in the beginning I can say now that some
of it has been positive. There is a part of me that “died”
to the illusion of control and my own ego as this has continued.
Certainly, I have become a more humble human being. Perhaps it
could also be said that my own sense of humanity has deepened,
as a result of this contact with spirit.
Homer’s journey on the other side and my spiritual journey
into becoming a Spirit Messenger are recorded more completely
in Partnering with Spirit: Homer’s Journey. That story ended
with Homer’s transformation into what he refers to as his
“Whole Self.” This was around 40 days after he left
his physical body when I saw two really tall, bright beings show
up on either side of him. They told me that they were taking
Homer with them, but that “he’d be back.”
After having experienced the constant interruption of Homer’s
presence for weeks, the silence was deafening. I had tremendous
feelings of ambivalence, back and forth, between relief that
it was finally over and anxiety that I would never hear from
him, or be so consciously in contact with spirit, ever again.
Homer was gone for about eight days. When he returned he was
very different. My inner sight saw him as one of the big, bright
beings, like the ones who had taken him away. Soul Journeys begins
with what happened during that silent time when Homer was gone,
and continues with the inner journeys Homer and others took me
on for the purpose of knowing my true “selves.” And
yes, even now, two years later, I’m still having inner journeys.
What happened next?
Within three weeks of publishing Partnering with Spirit: Homer’s
Journey (October 2003) the book was on four continents—North
America from Canada to Panama, Europe, Australia and Africa.
This was primarily due to the work of Marge Hefty (Homer’s
widow), Brian Disbury (President of the local chapter of the
American Society of Dowsers), and the various national and international
metaphysical communities of which Homer and Marge were active.
(see Appendix: Dowsers; Nine Gates Mystery School) I was asked
to present Homer’s story in Flagstaff, Arizona at the Southwest
Dowsers Conference in October of 2003 to people who knew Homer
and Marge personally. Marge introduced me and through tears and
a lot of shaking I was able to share Homer’s words, relieved
that his story was so warmly received by his peers.
I’m not so terrified now about sharing Homer’s story
due to an unexpected healing I received at that conference by
an incredible healer, Raymond Grace, who uses dowsing as his
tool of choice. A tremendous amount of anxiety had been with
me during this experience with Homer and I had, besides physical
stress symptoms, a nearly constant, irrational mantra repeating
itself over and over in my head. “I don’t want them
to crucify me again. I don’t want them to crucify me again
. . .” The thought of sharing Homer’s messages in a
public way resulted in feelings of nausea, as if I had a hand
squeezing my guts. My knees would shake, my palms became wet
or clammy and I felt like I would burst into tears at any moment.
Terrified. I was literally and totally irrationally terrified.
Being comfortable as a public speaker with audiences of all sizes,
this wasn’t normal behavior for me. In Raymond’s workshop
he asked the dowsing system if there was anyone in the room (of
about 100) dealing with “past life issues that were affecting
this life in non-beneficial ways.” The response was yes,
eleven people. He asked the dowsing system if he could clear
it and received a yes, so he began to clear.
I’d already been through so much it never occurred to me
I would be one of those eleven people. I had never put much stock
in the concept of past lives. I certainly didn’t think that
concept would have anything at all to do with my current life
. . . until a wind or scraping sound brought with it a feeling
that a five-inch diameter core of my chest was slowly being twisted
out. I started hyperventilating with feelings that I was going
to throw up. Thank goodness earth healer, Nancy Cammack, was
sitting next to me (we’d gotten to know each other at the
conference). Having worked with Raymond, Nancy saw that something
was happening with me and lovingly placed her healing hands on
the front of my chest and upper back, holding the energy for
me as I went through this uncontrollable experience. When whatever
it was in my chest twisted completely out Raymond’s dowsing
bobber stopped. He later said to me that everything was “going
to be better now.” I didn’t really believe him, but
he was right. Since that time I have not had that terrified sick-to-my-stomach
feeling when sharing the messages. Of course, this doesn’t
mean I’m not wary. I am cautious, and pick my audiences.
Healing Stories
What keeps me going? Beautiful, healing and transformational
stories that have found their way back to me as a result of publishing
Partnering with Spirit. In one instance an elderly woman was
afraid to die so her caretaker and family began reading her the
Homer story. Over the course of a week or so she became progressively
more peaceful until she crossed over without any fear. I’ve
heard about the story bringing comfort in hospice grief groups.
I’ve received e-mails that simply say, “Thank you.”
“The book changed my life.” “I’m not so afraid
anymore of making mistakes.” “I feel as if I can live
my life with more courage.” “I’m not afraid to
die any more.” The most common comments are, “I’ve
read the book cover to cover three times but it was as if each
time was the first time.” “What did you do to the book?
It has energy. It’s working me.” Or “I read the
book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.” One day
I received an urgent phone call from a father in distress because
his son was dying. He’d heard about Homer’s story and
asked if I could send the book out immediately. He wanted to
read the story to his son as he lay there dying, to this life
anyway. They were both comforted by Homer’s story and messages.
Phyllis Porcar heard my presentation at the Santa Cruz Dowser’s
Conference and later sent me the most beautiful words of healing
about a friend with whom she shared the Blue Light Tunnel Meditation.
(see Appendix) Phyllis has given me permission to share her friend’s
story. “I was visiting a friend a couple of weeks before
Christmas and she started to cry as she told me how her teenage
son had been murdered nine years ago. I held her hand and took
her to the tunnel. Her son was at the other entrance. They hugged,
and she and I returned to our entrance. A few days later she
told me this story. That night she couldn’t sleep, so she
decided to go to the tunnel. Her son was waiting for her just
inside our end. They sat together and she did not want to leave
or go to sleep. Hours later, she decided she needed to sleep
in her own bed. But there was a light on in another bedroom of
the house and she got up to turn it off. It immediately turned
on again. She turned it off again, and for a second time it turned
on again. This happened 4 times! She was so excited that she
is able to communicate with her son, and when she told me this
story she was very happy.”
What is the most often asked question I receive now? “Is
Homer still talking to you?” The answer is yes, of course,
sometimes in the most unusual places. For example, I was on a
trip to Minneapolis visiting friends and family when the Homer
“buzz” happened as I was driving. I said, “Hi,
Homer,” and he asked me to relay a message from the Spirit
World to a friend I was on the way to visit. When I got to her
place I told her what had happened, quieted my mind, went in,
got the message and passed it on. Then Homer left.
Conscious inner partnerships are part of my day-to-day life.
The spirits themselves named my first book “Partnering with
Spirit” because they wanted to convey an understanding that
these relationships need to be NORMAL for us. They want us to
understand that it is abnormal NOT to have these relationships!
It is critical to knowing who we are and our purpose in being
here. Which is what? Whatever you want to create! Spirit friends
are not there to live our lives for us. They reiterate this over
and over again in private readings I’ve given for people.
This was the primary message of Partnering with Spirit: Homer’s
Journey.
The primary mission I’ve been given, besides the writing,
is to teach and guide people how to do personal inner journeys.
I help people develop the skills necessary to have very conscious
partnerships with their own Inner Council. (see Appendix) It
is why they wanted this second book named Soul Journeys. I’ve
been asked not to plan presentations or workshops, even if I’m
doing a three day workshop! These are guided by the Inner Realms
for the needs of each individual group, step-by-step, in-the-moment.
One day I was complaining about this to Homer while I was driving
to an event where I was a presenter. I asked him if, for once,
I could know what I was going to talk about. He said that I could
speak on the Joys of Surrender. I laughed pretty hard at that
one! And no, I didn’t know what I was going to say until
I heard myself talking. I share this with you because building
relationships with those in spirit is not always easy! As I have
written elsewhere, it is a step-by-step process, just as in any
other relationship. Sometimes it comes by fits and starts. We
must choose all our friendships deliberately and carefully; cultivating
those relationships that may best grow into friendships of trust
and respect.
After a time I began to recognize that many of Homer’s
messages were not necessarily from him, but relayed through him
because of our easy contact. Even now it sometimes feels like
Homer and I are an inner-dimensional phone system. Once Homer’s
wife, Marge, called me and asked, “Ellie, is Homer around?
I was with my study group and we came up with some questions
for him.” So I “tuned into” Homer and we had a
three-way call with the Spirit World. Yes, the questions got
answered! Now that I have become more accustomed to this lifestyle
I am struck by the humorous nature of some of these events.
Talk to the hand, I'm not listening
Immediately after the publication of Partnering with Spirit and
speaking at the Southwest Dowsers Conference in October 2003,
I totally ignored Homer and everyone else from the Spirit World.
For the most part I was completely emotionally exhausted. I had
a “talk to the hand, I’m not listening” attitude.
I had to stop meditating for a while because every time I’d
relax someone in the Spirit World was there to talk to me and
interrupt my quietness. I was forced to develop new practices
for my personal meditation and prayer time. I’ve meditated
nearly my whole life so I was really missing this part of my
life, even angry that I couldn’t have some peace during
that special time. It seemed to me that I had become fully “aware”
about ninety percent or more of the time (that is, not only of
my children, the laundry and what was going on in my life on
earth, but also of what was happening around me in the Spirit
World). I was confused. Certainly overwhelmed. I had thought
being “fully aware” was supposed to be enlightenment!
NOT some business about being “awake” all the time,
even fully conscious when I slept. For a while I prayed for my
quiet life back again, for blessed unconsciousness. It didn’t
do much good. I’ve had to get used to perceiving the world
multidimensionally. It makes me think we should be really careful
about praying for enlightenment, because we may not have a clue
about what that might really mean or look like.
While I was ignoring Homer I began reading about the lives
of other mediums including John Edwards and Sylvia Brown. Sylvia’s
Past Lives Future Healing was particularly helpful, especially
after my own past life healing experience. I was comforted by
JZ Knight’s autobiography about her experiences when Ramtha
appeared in her life. I can now say the words “channel”
and “psychic medium” without going into a panic attack
or swearing at someone who might have been foolish enough to
call me that. I prefer the term Spirit Messenger which my own
spirit friends began calling me.
After months of “talk to the hand” something really
funny happened. All day long from very early I heard a constant
buzz but was determined not to “tune into” it to find
out who wanted my attention. It was very annoying and a real
effort to ignore it. That night as I was getting into the bathtub
for a healing soak my resistance finally weakened. I began to
hear the words that were creating the buzz. “The buzz is
Homer. The buzz is Homer. The buzz is HOMER. The BUZZ is HOMER.
THE BUZZ is HOMER. The buzz is Homer. The buzz is Homer. The
buzz is HOMER.” Homer wasn’t even paying much attention
but repeating it over and over again as if bored but determined.
I began to laugh so hard as I was reminded of the movie Ghost
with Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg. In one scene Swayze’s
character sings the song “Henry the Eighth I Am, I Am”
over and over again to Goldberg’s character (as a psychic
medium) until she agrees to help him. Homer realized that I’d
heard what he was saying and said, “Finally! I wasn’t
going to stop until you paid attention!” I told him I was
really sorry but that I’d needed the time to heal from the
trauma of being a Spirit Messenger, especially when it was the
one thing I least wanted to be. He said, “I didn’t
think you’d ever talk to me again.” Then I felt really
bad, thinking I had perhaps hurt our friendship, but I couldn’t
change how I felt about needing some time alone.
Homer didn’t seem to understand, like most people who
hear my story, how much I didn’t want to be a messenger
of the spirits. Whenever I receive a hands-on-healing, it triggers
images of myself being killed in very violent ways for being
a Spirit Messenger. These experiences certainly don’t encourage
my enthusiasm for this work. I later realized this is why I felt
such pure terror when Homer said that this was my “first
career.”
Beginning in January of 2004 as the spirits began asking me
to give people private readings, people began asking for readings
more often. I kept ignoring the requests not wanting to do them
until one day a woman asked (again) for a reading. I received
a high-volume command from my spirit friends to “GIVE HER
A READING!” In a huff I said, “Fine!” I told her
how much it would cost fully expecting she’d walk away.
Much to my horror she said, “Great! When?” After that
my phone began ringing off the hook from people all over the
country.
The readings themselves have now become a gift because of the
spiritual teachings that come through during a reading. I am
intrigued when seeing karma played out, past lives, or what it’s
like on the other side immediately after a person crosses. In
reality, from our limited perspective, what seems like an accidental
death is perfect timing for that soul who has other work to do
elsewhere.
I had expected this second book to be completed in 2004 but
my brain and body seemed to remain in a fog through the end of
December of that year. It felt as if I’d been half asleep
and suddenly woke up. I’m not sure what all that was about
and can only record it faithfully here as part of the experience.
I feel more fully integrated now with this dimension and others—a
truly multi-dimensional, functional (on most days) human-spirit.
And so the question presents itself. Is this another step
in human evolution? |
Spiritual
Pearls
13 August 2003
Note from Ellie: Early yesterday morning, around five, I went
for a walk. August and desert equal early walks if I want to
get some exercise. Well, Homer joined me. We had a long interesting
visit. He spoke to me about his personal spiritual journey, and
the advantages he had of being a quiet, introspective man. I
journaled what I could remember and passed this private conversation
on to Marge not feeling it was appropriate for the book. I’m
only saying this because it’s part of my journey—that
spirits just show up anywhere, even in the grocery store. Anyway,
in the midst of journaling that conversation (before I forgot
it) Homer started to speak.
“Inner contemplation yields great results. Contemplation
is an aligning with either your ego or Higher Council. When you
know yourself, coming from a pure heart and a genuine desire
to learn, it opens pathways to the Higher Council and the creative
records. When you contemplate out of greed or personal power
you align to the Lower World. Both can give you inspiration,
but remember inspiration is always to your level of development.
There is simply no way to get around this principle. Those most
letting go of the ego/desire for personal gain can achieve amazing
insight to help mankind. There is an eccentric or extreme brilliance
that can happen, but others will think it might be the work of
someone mad. In truth it is the contemplation of brilliance.
Brilliance. Brilliance. Meditate on this word and it can lift
you up into these Higher Realms. It is/can be coupled with the
word Wonder. These two words, together, create the most beautiful
sound and light.” I hear a Tibetan bowl chime on and on
. . . The ringing never seems to stop . . . So beautiful . .
. I drift on the sound for a long time . .
“Homer, I have some questions about what is physically
going on with me. Why is it that ever since you showed up I have
diarrhea? And I’ve had near migraine-like headaches almost
constantly, but especially the first two and a half months, whereas
before you showed up I rarely had any kind of headache. My sleep
patterns are off. My taste for food is different. I’ve rarely
eaten red or rare meat and now I literally crave it. My whole
bodily systems are different and feel off. It is like I have
to get to know my body as someone or something completely new.
I know I’ve experienced a lot of energy shifts happening,
but do these energy shifts affect the body like what I’m
describing? Is this all part of it?”
I feel pressure behind my right eye as I write this as if
another energy adjustment is happening . . . But I don’t
remember anything happening to the right side before, usually
it’s on the left.
Homer replies, “I’m not experienced on this, however,
I have one here who is. He/She goes by the name Jones.”
I sense a female energy . . . Yes, female. In a breathy voice
Jones speaks to me. “When you are in the light your whole
body becomes more luminous. It shines. It is why the little babies
and small children are always staring at you. They see this luminescence
and it makes them smile. To them you look like a beautiful angel
or shiny being. When you step into the light it changes your
physiology. Some of the Masters of old, that you may have read
about, simply ascended. It is the perception of the masses that
they left with their physical cloak/body. However, this is misunderstood.
They didn’t go anywhere. This is not true at all. It is
that they were able to be more in their light, moving out of
the normal perception field of that dimension. They lightened
up!” I hear her laughter and feel her humor. She continues
in her breathy voice, “Being grounded helps one to function
within the Physical Plain, certainly. However, when you walk
both worlds, that of the physical and that of the spiritual,
it changes the body. Remember Tilak, one of your spiritual teachers
there, has this same issue where food runs through him. It is
because you are walking two worlds. You access more ‘inspiration’
as your friend Homer here says, but it comes with the small price
of changing your physiology. In recent days you have become less
so because you needed to draw your attention back to the Physical
World in order to accomplish the tasks that you have been assigned
by those greater than myself. And so, in this process you learn
to walk both worlds. You will continue this training until people
on the Physical Plain will think you are both crazy/eccentric
and brilliant, depending on their understanding. Is there anything
else?”
I reply, “Not that I can think of at the moment, but
if I think of anything else I’ll make sure to ask! Thank
you, this has been very helpful, Jones.”
Homer comes in, “Come, we have a place to go to today.”
Homer is looking more serious than he normally does . . .
He leads me off to the right . . . I’ve not ever gone this
way before . . . I’m in the Inner Library, past the desk
and stairs that I know lead to the business section . . . Physically
my eyes are turned completely down and to the right . . . Accessing
a different part of my brain? . . . I have to hurry to stay with
Homer . . . Taking the time to describe this is creating a stop
in the flow . . . I have a feeling that I’m in Egypt, in
or under a pyramid? And a feeling of South America, also? This
is confusing. Oh, it helps when I don’t turn my head . .
. I hadn’t realized I had until Homer brought my chin back
around to face forward . . . My eyes start looking down and back
to the right and everything comes into focus . . . It is much
clearer . . . We are in a chamber made of natural stone, it is
dark here . . . We stay here for awhile then a stone wall opens
and we walk down a dark hallway made out of this same natural
stone . . . The floor is dark colored sand . . . I don’t
know what is going to happen next . . . All of a sudden my head
swirls around like I’m at the chiropractor . . . The head
adjustment makes it easier to view . . . Homer adds that “it
is good to get regular adjustments at the chiropractor. It helps
the energy flow better in the body.” He tells me this while
we are waiting . . . For what I don’t know . . .
After a while the sand in the floor begins to dissolve. Will
we fall? No, I guess not. I see that we are over a huge open
plain with a city far below . . . A large condor calls as it
flies by . . . My companion makes a condor call back to the bird
. . . My companion? Where is Homer!? Homer walks back into the
chamber. “Where have you been? I thought you were standing
beside me!” Homer laughs, “I was standing beside you,
just not all of me. I left a part of myself here to keep you
company until all was ready. I was busy elsewhere. Just as you
leave yourself (your ‘selves!’) all over the place,
you just don’t know you do this!” By the stunned look
on my face Homer says, “I’m sure we’ll come back
to this discussion in the future, but for now,” Homer points
to the city below and says we have a “meeting of minds to
go to.” What does that mean? Instantly we are simply floating
down to the city as if we are on an invisible moving escalator.
Is this where all these biblical images came from? Did people
with inner sight see this kind of thing? “Descended into
heaven,” or “Descended down to speak with Moses in
the burning bush.” I’d better pay attention again.
My mind seems a bit wobbly these days from lack of sleep and
too much to do.
We descend down . . . We are moving toward what looks like
a church . . . Yes, a church . . . Very old . . . Through the
roof, into the sanctuary. Homer explains, “Sacred places
where prayers have taken place, such as spiritual structures,
are portals to travel between dimensions.”
I ask, “Why is that?”
Homer says, “Study this one and you will know.”
I look with my inner sight and see the rooftop of the church
ceiling is transparent. To the physical eye it looks just like
a regular ceiling found in any building, but with my inner sight
I see it is transparent.
Homer interrupts my study, “There is one here who will speak
to you of this. He says he resides at this particular church
and is the ‘resident ghost.’ He thinks this is funny
because some think of him as the ‘resident ghost’ while
others think he is their ‘benevolent church guardian.’
I look to see who is here . . . Definitely a male . . . Old
but spry, lively, happy . . . slightly round . . . bald on top
and dressed in old monks robes. He’s dressed like and looks
like he’s a friar from Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forest.
“Call me William. Hello, and thank you for your visit.
Not many come to speak to me consciously! It is a rare thing
indeed. Many come through here in their sleep/dream time, and
so don’t usually remember being here.”
I ask William, “Can you tell me something about yourself?”
I point up, “And why is your ceiling transparent?”
“You have been told many times that the world as you
know it is not real. It isn’t that your reality there isn’t
real. It certainly is. It would be more accurate/helpful if we
explained it differently to you and said that your outer reality
isn’t all there is. It is only ‘all there is’
to one who puts all his attention to that world/dimension. What
is real is whatever you put your attention on. For some the only
thing that is real is football, sex, and beer. For another, family
and motherhood. For another, career and playing the money market
games. These are all realities. As you spend time in any one
of these realities you access energy portals associated with
them. Worlds within worlds. And that is only what you perceive
in the Physical Dimension. As you have come to observe, it is
a very small part of life. I’d say maybe one millionth of
your life is physical. Very small. It is why there is so much
curiosity about these Inner Realms. People have a sense that
there is something more. Your information about this will be
widely read because it will ring true to people. Why? Because
they know it is true, they come to the Inner Realms in the nighttime.
Most only surf the Lower Realms very close to their reality,
but if you could teach people to meditate for a brief time before
going to bed, as you do, it would help them greatly to surf deeper
in the Inner Realms when they sleep and dream. It is what you
have done for years and years, so you take for granted the healing
and spiritual benefits you receive from this practice. You always
notice the difference in the quality of your sleep and dream
experiences as a result of this twenty minutes or more of quiet
sitting before bed. Here, let me show you something.”
He turns me around and we go to the baptismal font. He reaches
his hand into the water . . . It doesn’t have a bottom .
. . He reaches deep in and pulls out a pearl. About five or six
inches in diameter . . . It is a lovely soft pink, my favorite
shade. “Here hold this,” William says as he hands it
to me.
I very carefully take it from him . . . It hums! It sings!
I look at Friar William and ask, “What is this?”
“It is a Singing Pearl. In your Chinese studies, in Qigong,
it is called the Pearl of Immortality.” When I ask him what
it’s for, William responds, “It is yours!”
I pause, stunned at what he has said, “Ah, does everyone
have one of these?”
William tells me, “Yes, of course, but I show you yours
today because you have been working with the concept of power.
Inner Power. You now have a visual image of your Inner Power
or dan tien, as you speak of it in your Qigong training. This
one resides in your heart. It is very large, which is not usual
to your dimension unless the spiritual work is done. Just as
a pearl grows, layer by layer, so does spiritual work, real work,
grow your Inner Power.”
Yes, in my Qigong training, dan tien translates as Sea of Energy,
found in three locations, the center of the head, chest or heart,
and lower belly. I didn’t know these centers would be concentrated
balls of inner power.
William reaches into the water again . . . Now he holds a
blue pearl . . . He hands it to me. I hold it and it also hums,
but it is different in tone. The pearl is transparent, the color
of the blue diamond light I saw last year in my meditation time,
almost bluish purple or a clear periwinkle. It feels colder,
not as comforting as I felt with the pink pearl. But it also
lifts me up as I hold it; I don’t understand it as well.
William says, “You don’t understand this one as
well because you are still learning it. It is your access to
the Inner Realms. It resides in your upper center (head) and
has been activating for a while now. This was the blue diamond
light experience you had while in Yuma last March. You knew your
life was going to change as a result of this, but at that time
you didn’t know when or how. We had been talking to you
for nearly nine moths before that experience until we finally
got through to you with your psychic friend to ‘open up
to us.’ You were very resistant. The more you access the
Inner Realms, the brighter and deeper in intensity this pearl
will grow. Your headaches were the result of this pearl adjusting
within you. It is still adjusting within you.”
I ask him, “Then the green light I saw last summer, the
one I call the Living Light, is this in the lower center? In
the belly?”
“Yes, it is. Green diamond light you could call it for
it has the same transparent qualities as the blue diamond light.
It holds the energy polarity down in the lower belly. These pearls
are why your Qigong Master and you see colors differently in
the body’s energy matrix than the rainbow colors that are
taught for certain energy centers in the body. Those colors are
easy for people to remember. However, the colors within a person
are distributed according to their spiritual development or understanding.
It is not so simple as rainbow colors from the light spectrum.
To force a color frequency where it does not belong, well, this
is not a good thing if done with power. However, the awareness
of most makes it trivial. But from one with power, they would
not do this anyway. If they did it would create illusions within
them and so they would stop doing so. Early in the writings you
were told to let the children choose their own meanings and locations
of colors in the body. I will repeat this here and remind you
of this importance. Colors/frequencies are a very individual
thing because each individual has their unique spiritual development
and so frequencies will affect each one differently depending
on what that development is. These will change over time as more
understanding/spiritual development happens throughout a person’s
life.”
As I focus on the green light I begin to see the green spread
into a large, open-branched tree in an open field that I’ve
dreamed about since my earliest memories . . . Today I see children
playing in the tree. It feels wonderful. It represents my connection
to nature and the whole nature realm . . . It heals and nourishes
me to keep my attention on this . . . My heart swims with feelings
of deep contentment . . . Joy . . . Inner peace . . . Almost
heart-fully erotic . . . Full . . . Uplifting . . . I never want
to leave this feeling . . .
I turn to Homer. “Thank you for bringing me here. I would
like to come back again.” I turn to William, “Thank
you for showing me these Pearls of Immortality, Pearls of Power.”
William corrects me, “The pearl in the heart, the soft
pink one is the Pearl of Immortality. The other two are your
ability to move within the dimensions, blue for the Inner Realm,
green for your dimension. Your true essence is within the pearl
in your center, growing as you grow. If you meditate on this
it will help you center into your true heart. We have talked
to you before about having a pure heart. That is love, and that
is your connection to others of pure heart.”
Golden Light Infinity Bonds
“A few years ago you received a vision of three golden light
infinity symbols connecting or surrounding you and one other.
You did not understand its meaning. This is not only your connection
to one other being. It is what a connection looks like between
any two who have pure hearts. It was represented as a handfasting
or marriage, and so in this way you thought it was about one
other. Where two or more are gathered who have pure hearts, pure
intention, wonderful energy radiates out affecting all those
who come within that field, whether in your dimension or any
other dimension.
The three golden light infinity symbols have their own meaning.
The first, that is around two hands as they touch, is felt when
two souls with pure hearts recognize one another. The second,
between the two heart centers, is felt when two recognize each
other as equals and so know they can trust each other. You have
the ability to work side-by-side holding each other in spiritual
love and support no matter where you are within any dimension.
This golden bond connects you, holding and supporting both/all
who are in that golden bond. The third swirls around both people
and is felt by others and affects the larger field around them,
from the smaller community to full dimensions. Imagine what this
field is like when there are many bonded together in this way.
It is this field that impacts any dimension to a higher vibration/frequency.
We bring groups of pure-hearted people together to create these
golden light webs. It is the impact you will have on the world
when in these relationships.”
“Thank you for explaining this vision. It has confused
me. I’m sorry but I need to go now. Thank you for all you
have given me this day. I’m glad I came in today and didn’t
miss this journey!”
Homer and I leave the same way we came, floating up an invisible
escalator in the sky . . . Back to the stone chamber in or under
the pyramid . . . And back to my room. Wow, if I didn’t
have so much to do today I’d have liked to visit with William
for a while longer. I’ll have to go back and visit now that
I know he is there! |
