November 21, 2011.
So the Council Grove dowsing and soil rejuvenation event finally happened, and I’m still swirling with all of its implications and unfoldings. I have known for two months how important this weekend would be.
David Yarrow, my mentor in dowsing and earth energy engagement, arranged for this “final exam” day-long event as the culmination of his month-long work in eastern Kansas. On November 20, 2011, David and I drove down from Pat Embers’s house in Manhattan and had a great talk, as we always do, solidifying an amazing friendship brought down through the ether.
After our opening meeting and ceremony, David spent a few hours providing us with key information regarding the importance of sea minerals in the rejuvenation of agricultural landscapes—a kind of giving back to Mother Nature. We spent awhile familiarizing ourselves with the nature of the earth energies at White Memorial Camp and Retreat Center.
After several hours of instruction and centering both outside and inside the meeting hall, we prepared ourselves for our search for power spots in the earth. I knew before we even left the building exactly where I was supposed to go to start my own part of the ceremony. Through the walls of the meeting house I could actually SEE three spots glowing in the field outside. I have learned (I’m not sure that learning is really the right process here; I think heart-opening is truer) how to let my guiding spirits guide my body so that my entire body acts as a dowsing rod if I just open myself up and go. Just like my automatic driving that took me to Council Grove back in October, my automatic walking has profound results and implications. I spread my sea minerals in the sacred wheel pattern that David had suggested. I then moved on to the second spot and repeated the ceremonial process. Then I moved on to the third spot.
This spot held much more power and meaning for me than the previous two. It was quite a bit larger, maybe fifteen feet in diameter. I performed my sea salt blessing and then was told to lie down in the center of the spot, so I did. I was immediately projected into my mystic state. I was told to attend to the fact that my body formed the coordinates of the sacred wheel, my arms pointing north and south and my head and legs pointing east and west. As I took the profundity of this into my body, the wheel’s circle lit up the electrical charge of the entire wheel. The grasses on either side of my head were caressing my face as the wind blew over my body. I was then told to open my eyes and as I did I saw a beautiful train of geese flying directly over me from north to south. Their pattern shot through my body and charged every fiber of me and the circle (I guess we were one by this time).
I was then told to close my eyes and stare at the sun through my eyelids as the Egyptians did in their ceremonial days (and still might, for all I know). I wasn’t aware that they did this before this instruction. I was told that this provided for a direct link between the heavens and the pineal gland in order to open up the third eye into a galactic communication, just as the humans did in the hieroglyphs depicting Horus’s beam into the human skull. As I was trying to comprehend and process this in intellectual and bodily terms (I’m realizing that the knowledge that I’m downloading in these processes is far more bodily than intellectual) I suddenly felt a bolt of energy skewer me through the heart and I saw that the usual heaven-earth spindle that shoots through my sitting meditation body was now shooting through my chest and back as it passed through my heart chakra. The dark beam extended deep into the earth and the light beam shot brightly into the heavens. Then my body started spinning like a carnival ride on this heart chakra axis and the entire wheel hummed and lit up and projected massive light into the sky.
After this heart chakra projection, I was told to get up and look forward (east-southeast), where I saw a large bird’s nest in the tree at the edge of the field. I started walking towards the tree, assuming that the bird would either sit up and fly out of the nest or land back in it from the skies. But I realized as I got closer that the tree was simply a compass arrow and not my destination. I was supposed to walk down to the lake shore. So I did, following the right hand edge of the cove in front of me. I was drawn to the opposite arm’s shore, noticing the rocks and knowing that I was to get a rock from here for the medicine wheel I will build back in Topeka. But for some reason I kept walking on the right side rather than circle back to the left. I then noticed a tree that had been chewed down by a beaver. This seemed profound in ways that don’t yet register in my consciousness.
As I was picking up some of the shavings from the beaver work, I noticed a black rock, roughly fifteen inches long and twelve inches wide, filled with tunnels. I was told that this was my rock. As I looked at the tunnels I was told that this is my Constellation Rock and will be very important in future medicine wheel ceremonies. I was told that it was a physical manifestation of the infolding torus wheel system that I’ve been learning about in my visions. The matter of the rock itself is the inverse of the open night sky while the holes and tunnels are the inverse of the stars and other orbs in the sky. This inversion impression is critical for the understanding necessary within the torus vesica. Meditating on this rock will aid in people’s ability to engage in this psychic inversion and enter the fifth dimensional space (as I currently understand it) of meditative vision. [In my many moves since this moment, unfortunately I have lost track of this stone.]
Later that night David and I had a wonderful conversation. I could intuit that were meant to meet in order to synthesize our visions and to create a more profound vision for the future of this human project than anyone could have arrived at alone. I am so humbled to be a part of this unfolding and grace. Truly thankful.
