Whispers From Spirit

We offer you this page with great joy. Every day, we listen to our Spirits and they provide us with: unconditional love, a deep calm, practical support for our work and unimaginable bliss, and more…. To be able to directly share some of the messages we receive pleases us tremendously. We trust that you will get whatever wisdom you most need right now (And we update this page regularly, so keep checking back for what you will need next).

We do offer a suggestion first. Words from our Spirits speak to each of us on such a profound level, that it feels very respectful to be ready for that. Before you read on, relax.
Shake out your shoulders.
Let yourself be undisturbed (no phones).
Gently roll your neck back and forth; let those kinks just drop away.
Shut your eyes and breathe fully for a minute or two.
Then open your eyes and your heart and come back (we'll still be here).
Allow yourself the luxury of feeling the love in the words,
in between the words
and all around you.

Blessings
always blessings!

When you come here to listen to your Spirit
(for that is what will talk to you here)
Allow yourself to witness you.
See the divinity that you are.

Surround yourself with it.

It is so and we are one.

What an amazing, incredible season you walk in.

Take a quiet moment, close your eyes
see the events that have touched you.

How do you feel?
Peaceful?
Angry?
Whatever path your emotions take you on,
recognize them for the kind and generous teachers they are.
They walk inside your learnings
They find the truths that want affirming
and they affirm them.
They find the blocks in your own compassion,
the places where you said, "I have no more love to give right now."
They encircle them with emotions
that will show you your way back
to these places that ask for your love
that need your love now.

What could be kinder than that?

Thank your emotionfriends.
whether you appreciate them or not.
They carry on with their duties
and serve you endlessly and freely.

Go through the emotions to the service
Feel the gratitude, too.
Then you will find more precious teachings,
your emotions will deepen your understandings
beyond what you could have expected.

Life comes to you sweetly
even when you think not.

It offers you what you need
without judgment, without fail.

You know this.

You truly know this now
when change falls upon you all so dramatically
so powerfully
so constantly
that you understand nothing.

All you will be left with, then, is
your truth.

For those of you who are participating in our yearly cycle of the Rituals of Manifestation Deck, we started anew with Alchemy on Saturday, December 30th, 2006. This is our 3rd year in a cycle of 4 years of doing the Deck one Card per week, 52 weeks in the year. We invite you to continue on with us and the community of others who are participating in the same way around the world with the Deck in this fashion.

If you find this way of experiencing the Deck a bit too intense, we welcome you to utilize the Deck in a cycle of one card a day, 52 days in a row and then repeating that cycle until you feel more aligned with the one Card a week practice. If you choose to do the Deck one Card a day instead of one Card a week with the rest of us, we still invite you to participate in the one Card a week cycle. You may simply want to focus less on that practice and more on your concurrent one Card a day practice. Even just a simple Ritual of connecting with the Cards as others are in the weekly cycle can potentially supply you with a support system and a family far greater than yourself, even if your main focus is on doing the Deck one Card a day. If you do choose to do the Deck in this concurrent manner, be clear about your process and keep it simple so that it is about regeneration and clarity and does not engender confusion. Again, if you are doing the Deck in the one Card a day cycle for 52 days, we recommend starting over at the beginning again if you “miss” or “forget” to do your practice one day. After all, some of the most powerful tools you can embody in this practice are focus, commitment and responsibility. (We assume that if you are doing the Deck one Card a week for the full year, that you are committed and responsible for maintaining that practice over the full year.)

We are finally getting around to writing the Rituals of Manifestation Workbook. It will go over in depth these various cycles and alignments and link them all together in the myriad web of life. We have been practicing the Deck all these years in these many cycles as our own way to gain greater insights and open hearts about these processes and we continue to use this tool to consciously evolve and to ground our divinity ever more in and through our physical bodies and actions. When the Workbook will appear in print is anybody's guess, but we look forward to it manifesting within the next year.

So as it is a New Year and a new cycle of the Rituals of Manifestation Deck, we offer you these words below to welcome in all that is new and to give thanks for life upon this glorious EarthStar.

Do you know what happens when you become a Healed Shield? You are here as a vessel of Great Spirit and Great Spirit lays out its hands and creates. It creates others who will be creators. Surely you have heard of Grandmother Spider spinning her web all around the world and making the connections between all beings.

Healing your Shield means that you have been a cracked Shield and have experienced the ways of death and then you come around the circle of your own freedom to choose the ways of life. Now let me be very clear about this. Many 2-leggeds will experience the ways of life and death but do you know what they will not experience most of the time in that? They will not experience death as a conscious choice that they leaned into, that they dived into, so that they could know the release of everything fully. Yes, they will experience the gift of life but most of the time will they feel it consciously? Will they feel it pass through all of their cells, one by one lighting them up and affirming that they are a sacred vessel of life?

To heal your Shield does not mean that you are perfect. It does not mean that you are done. It does not mean that there is not more to heal. We are blessed by the Great Spirit who is a creator, ever endlessly creating. To heal your Shield means that you choose to consciously experience every level of creation including life and death and more.

A Healed Shield is a being who has been through the most difficult journeys that their body and soul could endure, and then, they used that as sacred fuel to accept it all and to consciously experience more of everything that Spirit offers. A Healed Shield is intimate with all things because a Healed Shield chooses to be utterly intimate with Great Spirit and all its ways, wonders and creations.

When you know what I have said, then you will not hesitate to walk into the world as a Healed Shield for it is simply your fullest choice; it is your intent in the Center Stillness and the motion of the exponential waves of life and death.

In this cycle of "Alchemy," you can realize that as you realize yourself, as you realize your healed Shield you know that you hold a vessel that shapes the patterns and the flows of eternal lifeforce according to the intent of Great Spirit. In this first ritual of the cycle of Rituals, we are being invited to consciously welcome the birth of a new year, a new cycle and a new life. It will not look like your expectations. It will not match your perfections – it will surpass them. It will answer your needs and it will release your desires.

Consciously welcome this birth. Make your body a ready home for lifeforce. Freely choose to clear away distraction, confusion and the subtle defenses of the old ways. Welcome these teacher friends. Distraction and separation are part of the welcoming party of this new cycle. Clearing them away does not mean sending them away or burying them. That is not the way of a conscious being. That kind of death is unconscious and it will siphon away lifeforce instead of multiplying it.

To clear your fear and separation means to be utterly conscious of them, to be clear with each other, to recognize them, to know that it is there, to fully, freely see the reflection of all parts of your self within them. You go to the welcoming party of life and Alchemy, with all parts of yourself. If you cannot welcome all that you are graciously, then how can you welcome life who bestows all the gifts upon you including death and separation.

Today our ritual is to make way for the new Alchemy and the New Year. Welcome it with our heart and body and soul. You are creator vessels, children, of Creator Spirits. Make your bodies ready to hold the space for more life as respectfully as possible. That means give all of your creations as beautiful a road to walk as you can.

Welcome. Every day we listen to Spirit, and every day, we receive such rich nurturing through that— it carries up the mountains of life. Words from Spirit come to us like good friends who don’t laugh when we fall down……again.
They smile, they wait patiently (even when we can’t).
And they never, never take away our learnings; they respect our freedom completely— maybe more than we can know.

These words are incredibly sacred. Because it’s the most we can give right now, we share them with you, too –
in just the way they were shared with us—
freely, respectfully, and patiently:

Today is a day of sweetness.
Wherever you look, really see.
Place every sense carefully, completely, into your sight. Look around you at everything or anything that pauses your eyes, for as long as you wish. Breathe with every breath.
Let your sight and your breath join in a single, perfect rhythm that echoes the heartbeat of life within you.

I will wait while you go look at the world – until you come back to see these words, and their life jumps out at you and you can breathe more life with them.

Welcome. I am a spirit that travels with the wind, the water, the fire and the earth……just like you. You travel with all of these things all around you. (Do you see them? Look again. I will wait.)
You travel with all of these things within you. It is a day of sweetness because we see; we know that the life that we hold inside of us is the same life that beams through the sun watching the flowers grow and the rivers that smooth out rocks. Can you see that? As you see it, can you feel it? Can you feel it outside of you and at the same time, inside of you?
Watch the flowers.
Watch every color that makes them up.
Watch the bugs that inch up their stems on their way to feast upon their sweetness.
As you admire their wonder, let that love come from every look of your eyes, every turn of your senses.
Admire them because they are there for that, for you.
Feel the sun admiring them at the same time. You both offer up the warmth of your love to the beauty of the flowers stretching from the earth to the sky. Your love helps them to grow, to stretch their limbs out into the new, spring air, to breathe. Breathe together — you, the flowers, the bugs, the sky, the earth and the sun. Breathe in a single, warm, mingling breath…………… over and over.
Watch a river swim over rocks in its bed. Sit on a boulder letting the waves splash over every part of your body while you watch. Let every part of you be an eye. Your senses and your eyes breathe as one. As you feel the caress of the water on your rough edges, watch …… know……... how every droplet refreshes you……how each one belongs seamlessly, softly, to the river and this moment. They laugh as they dance over you endlessly, while you and the rock hold each other, drinking it all in.

Watch everything, until you are an echo of what you see.
Where is your sun?
Where are your flowers, and your boulder in a stream?
Watch until you know each other
and breathe the same breath,
right now.

From Grandmother April 6 , 2003 -

Today is a day of peace. I know that that word has many strong connotations in this moment in your world. To me it means this: It means that this moment invites you to go all the way into your center; to feel that, to know that so well that it comes with you in every act, thought and feeling. The center is where you are undeniably connected to all life and one with spirit. If you breathe that fully right now, then you will witness everything else with trust. That is peace.
To me peace is not the end of war. It is not settling the fights. It is the constant commitment to going to the center in every moment and acting upon the truth. It is the natural state of those who live with love.
You may find great pressures to fight those who want to end the fighting. In elemental language it is simple. It is adding more fire to the fire. Eventually it will go out, but only after it has consumed every bit of fuel the earth mother has to offer. If you fight war, you enter into a karma that feeds it and makes it look inevitable.
Feeding karma is supporting an old paradigm that is instead ready to die. If you listen to your heart and not to all of the other distractions, you will know what I am saying. Whenever there are disturbing things happening in your world, you have the opportunity to go into yourself and find why these things disturb you. Ask for each of the voices that is uncomfortable, in pain, and afraid. Those old wounds and voices are the places where you still resist peace. The only way to live with peace is to identify the old wounds that you still keep festering and embrace them. You do not fight them, you do not argue with them, you do not bully them into understanding why they are wrong. All of these things just increase the fighting in you and the fighting in the world. Resisting love in any way and in any form is the source of all war.
If you choose love as your way of life, then the great, and perhaps the only, gift you have to offer is to be wholly responsible for every moment and part of your reality. If you witness violence, then it is your responsibility to see where you are violent still. All of your outer violence echoes from an inner battle. Somewhere within you, you fight and resist embracing some part of you. If you did not you would completely surrender to all things and moments without thought and need. You would know that everything is a gift to grow your field. This is trust.

Trust is in your nature instinctual. But when you hold yourself separate from life itself, it is hard to remember trust, let alone respond to it. **You may wish to teach yourself your instincts. You can do this by choosing to act with trust every single moment.**

It may be most useful to realize that in these bodies, you are sponges.
You come here to absorb all the experiences.
You choose to experience separation and love both.
And it is up to you to choose what you will focus on.
This is the way of a two-legged with spirit.
Feel all of the earth walk and then stand in your freedom.
Then choose the earth that you wish to live with.
You have responsibility.
It is your great gift.

(And a few additional words from Turkll.)

Addiction is a habit that you bond with that will kill the organism (you).

Humans will take the active ingredient out of everything because they are habituated to separation and processed life.

So, life, as you wake up, becomes more uncomfortable because you don’t have your habits to protect you (and eventually kill you). Humans only really die because they choose with the majority of their being not to accept all of life.

It takes the majority of a humans lifeforce to process their own intake of inefficient fuels. This is not regeneration.
