Touched By All Life

Do you know that one of the greatest hazards on Earth these days is that people, human beings yes eh, all over the world may not be having a good life - and that seems to be obvious to a great many people but what are the ramifications of that.

There is the key you see. Here is the issue and you know I am not a doomsayer but I am putting this out here for those who may understand global implications and wider circles of co-operation.

If people are striving for a better life and have the hope and belief that they can have that better life, generally speaking the world goes on and even thrives - but if enough people are suffering so much that they don't want to live anymore and would just like it all to be over with as quickly as possible then you have a serious problem. This is obvious as well.

First let me put you in the picture. Right now a great many animal species and even some plant species do not feel welcome on the planet and because they do not feel welcome they, in many cases, would like to "go home" and what this simply means is to no longer incarnate on the planet - meaning that no succeeding generations would incarnate either no matter how hard people are trying to bring that incarnation about.

So lets just say that these species while not having a death wish per se are nearing a stage where they might have that. This does not mean that they are going to plunge off a cliff, ala the idea of lemmings but it does mean that they are feeling hopeless and would just as soon that it be over with as quickly as possible.

This is part of the reason you are seeing certain changes in your global weather patterns as well as increased volcanism and yes to a degree a greater melting of the polar ice caps and melting of ice masses in general.

This is not because they want to take the whole world with them but rather simply every individual when you count them up - millions of individuals within the animal species are not feeling welcome, not being allowed to be themselves or being wiped out for one or other reason.

I am not here to accuse anyone nor am I attempting to change the world by myself but I am suggesting that we learn from that phenomena. If these Earth changes are being caused or even supported by all of these individual animal beings feeling unwelcome and because of mistreatment as they perceive it which only an individual can understand, you know when you're being mistreated but others may not know, then if we apply their situation to the human being that would not be good would it.

Suppose human beings start to feel the same way then I think we will have even more rapid Earth changes. So I am suggesting that we consider not only this state of affairs for human beings but the state of affairs for animals and plants. Lets consider that everyone and everything is alive and has feeling.

This is what I believe and I believe this on the basis of my learning, my teaching and my experience. If we consider that then we can consider perhaps treating people better, treating animals better, treating plants better. It's something for you to think about. Please consider it.

Goodlife.

Creation Lessons

Creation is not that difficult - we all create all the time.

Consider for a moment that our physical bodies are us and that we are our physical bodies.

Do you know that the means by which Creator has created this universe is simply to allow all the mass of energy to pair up with all the other masses of energy that each portion is the most compatible with. When you consider it that way, that is how material masses come together and stay together happily.

One might reasonably wonder - simply as a child perhaps - why don't planets wear down, why don't they gradually disappear over time, why don't they simply go away as people do? An innocent question and not an unreasonable one.

It is because of that energy communing with happiness and a desire to be together. When energy desires to be together and is happy to do so and does so of its own accord it is then most easily, almost totally immortal.

It goes on forever because it's happy connecting to other portions of itself. Now, what about us? Why don't we go on forever? Look at our lives.

How do we use the materials that we consume or that we use to build our homes, houses and offices and factories?

Do those materials all volunteer to be used in the way they are used? No, of course not but then we are here to learn how creation comes together most benevolently.

It is in the true nature of this type of creation that we are learning that it naturally takes time and because every portion of our body that we experience now is not completely volunteering to be connected to every other portion due to the nature of the way we grow our food and so on, then our bodies are not immortal but we are learning.

We will learn over time how to grow, how to reap, how to consume in ways that are benevolent for us and benevolent for that which we grow. We will learn that when food is grown benevolently and lovingly - harming nothing and encouraging it to experience its most abundant and loving life that when we consume that food it will take very little to satisfy us, to enrich and nourish us and to support a more permanent and welcome physical structure in our bodies.

I know it may seem like a huge task but it can begin on a small level. Consider your garden. Consider talking to the plants encouraging them to live their life to the fullest and to - when you bring in the crops - to do so as gently as possible and as in an honoring way as possible.

Be thankful to the plants as well as to Creator in your prayers and in your acknowledgment physically with the plants. It is a good way to start and I recommend it.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

There Is A Message..

Have you noticed the overwhelming sense of urgency all over.

It is a physical feeling even though it can be justified by thought but you see - my feeling is that that feeling - the physical feeling eh - is coming first and then as reasonable, thoughtful people we glance around to see - and we usually don't have to look to far as to why we are having that feeling of urgency but I'd like to talk today briefly about other reasons why that feeling of urgency is present.

There are those on this planet that are essentially messengers. They are here only and exclusively to give us messages. Guides yes, angels yes of course but there are others.

We are not alone on this planet, we are not the only form of life. There are the animals, there are the plants.

In my experience they are ripe with messages for us and they are not admonitions but rather it has everything to do with who we are but given that we have no eternal history - by this I mean a capacity to write, tell or sing stories about truth associated with us that are absolutely transferable from generation to generation globally and can be counted upon to remain intact - however the animals and the plants do not have such restriction. They teach their young the stories verbatim as they have been taught and so they have been entrusted with who we are, where we're from, why we're here, what we're doing, how we'll get there and when.

I have experienced, and I know many other mystical people and medicine people as well have experienced, these conversations and these conversations with the plant world and the divas of plants and animals and the animal world and their spirits and guides and yes - angels have given a great deal in messages - some of which you may have read here in one way or another or on my other blog that you know about and some of which have been passed along in various forms other ways.

You all know that I do channeling which - in the way I have been taught is a clear, deep connection to provide wisdom without any editorializing on my part. This has taken years and years of training and can be accomplished if one is willing and applying oneself to achieve it. I recommend it as a means of true communion.

I will be having another book coming out soon with messages from the animals. I've had some messages along these lines before and have attempted to pass them on here or in some other books that I may have.

Still - the reason I'm speaking to you about this today is that the feeling of urgency that we are having is entirely about the animals who are leaving. Yes, some of them are leaving or have left because of things that human beings have done or are doing and the same can be said about the plants.

So where are they putting that important information that will help us to eventually yes - discover our true natures, capacities and abilities.

Some of it of course is being passed along in these blogs as well as the blogs and teachings of others but some of it is being put in a place where the co-ordination of capacities is omnipresent.

What do I mean by that. It is very simply being put into the stone. I have spoken here extensively recently about soil but if you look at some portions of the soil it is broken down rock and stone. The best place to store something when it may have to be there for a time is in the stone.

So a little extra credit homework if you like. Find a stone, preferably a boulder or someplace on a mountain. Reach down - don't touch it with your left hand or your right hand just get close to it - say within 4 to 6 inches with your palm towards the stone - either hand, whichever feels more comfortable to you and make sure you pick out a place on the stone where you feel comfortable.

Try to have no other human being touching you at that time but some mothers holding babies may be able to do this. Then ask the stone if there is a message, not personal for you but a message for all human beings that will feel physically good to you and provide you with some insight as to human capacity and ability to wrought benevolent change. Ask that it be given to you in an inspiration of that moment or in a dream that you will remember. That's what I recommend if you'd like.

Remember the feeling of urgency has everything to do with the message keepers moving on but they have found a place to leave the message.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Messages For Us

Awakening from a long sleep is what is going on - not only for human beings as I've discussed on these blogs before here but also many animals and even plants.

Now you might ask - since I've said before that they are conscious - the animals, the plants and since I've spoken so much about the animals here and for example these posts about the plants and that they remember who they are - you might ask what I mean by that.

What I mean is that, for a long time most animals and many plants have been in a condition where they were determined to pass on their messages to us but such is the level of their suffering that the desire by them has been to move on and by moving on I do not mean just dying suddenly but rather to not reproduce - and if you look around you'll notice that many nonhumans in the wild are reproducing less in many ways.

There are some who are exceptions especially in the nonhuman world and occasionally, very occasionally in the plant world.

They have decided and come to an agreement with Creator that what they will do is leave their messages in the soil for us and that is why the soil is so important.

We grow our food in the soil - yes. We walk on it but we rarely walk on the soil barefooted. Oh we'll walk on the beach barefooted and children will sometimes run and play in the grass and adults sometimes too but I feel that it's important to suggest to you that you find a spot where the dirt is safe to walk on - no broken glass or anything like that - and you go there someday and just stand on the soil barefooted if you can or walk around if you like - whatever feels safe and comfortable - and while you're doing that, if at any point you feel a very good and benevolent energy you can if you like just breathe normally.

I'm not going to suggest that you breathe in through the bottoms of your feet as I've taught. I'm going to suggest rather that you breathe normally and allow that good energy to be present for you until it fades or until you have to move on for some other reason.

After you have that experience then if you can put on your shoes shortly thereafter or if you prefer you can sit down for a time - it's up to you but what will have happened is that a message left by nonhumans, essentially animals - perhaps insects as we call them or others, which may be very important for human beings to know will have been left there with that energy because when they leave that energy there there are always angelics present so that the message is preserved.

It may not go to everyone, it will just go to those who feel good in that spot - and of course there will be many different places and some messages are attuned in such a way as they'll be just right for this person or just right for that person. So don't feel funny if you don't get that feeling right off, it might happen in time.

After that keep an eye on your dreams and see if you get any sudden inspirations that are benevolent for you or others or some startling insights into your awareness of what humanity is all about.

I feel it's important to not only allow the animals and plants to be released from their duty to us, as they have seen it in the past but also it's important to thank them for carrying that wisdom for us for so long.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Understanding Mother Earth: Soil And More, Part 2

What if all of the cures to all the diseases that we have were in the soil itself but where in the soil and in what combination with other parts of the soil. Might it be possible that that could be found.

The worlds greatest laboratories are searching and perhaps they will find. If they don't find the cures it won't be for a lack of looking for they are in all honestness seeking but there may be right now - is there - there may be right now a means to acquire those cures.

I believe and I have been taught that some of the ancient teachings of earth through to the peoples of the Earth have survived or been rediscovered by those who are also in earnest pursuit of relief for the ills, aches and pains of others. Sometimes these people are called Medicine Women or Medicine Men because they know the ways of the plants.

Do you know that almost all plants we classify as weeds have this capability. They have learned to survive on a combination of nutrients that defy, very often, the experts as to how they can survive.

How can they grow practically in rocks? They have learned to survive not only for their own sake but for ours. They have within them, very often, the combination of elements that will cure many diseases not just one - that's the key to look for for those of you who are looking and very often they have the key or even the ability in some part of their form as we see it or that which is underground - the roots - to cure all diseases not just one.

It's important though to honor them when acquiring any parts from them - a leaf, a flower, even a small portion of root and don't destroy the plant even if you are a researcher medically.

The plant will not be able to accomplish its purpose to help us if you grow it in a laboratory because it's all in the soil you see, not just the plant itself - did you know that? It has to be acquired in part in the wild.

Try to go for that part that is offering itself. You might see a portion of root for example, that seems to have been moving above the surface. If so, try to have a sensitive person with you so you'll know if it's alright to acquire that part.

This may all seem to be a little much for those of you in science world but remember, very often the reason you went into science world - remember - was to help and also remember that even though we might not consider plants to be the same as human beings they are creations of Creator and remember that Creator has created a planet here that has microcosms and macrocosms.

The circle of life is intended and we must try to remember that all things support all other things and that all has feelings. Acquire what you must to experiment and seek with honor, appreciation and kindness.

Never take without permission. Ask for permission in the most benevolent way and if no plant gives permission, and they will not say yes or no you understand, you must go with feelings. I've spoken about this before so use that method in order to ask the plant if it is volunteering a portion of itself then use that method and see if you feel warmth.

If you do not feel warmth then it is not volunteering a portion of itself. Use that method to interact with all the plants whether they are co-operating in offering a portion of themselves or whether they are co-operating in offering only their energy. If no plant gives permission to take a portion of itself then you must utilize the energy of the plant while it is alive.

How to do that as a Scientist? Bring with you a petri dish that has a version of growing culture from that disease. With the sensitive person who has volunteered to come with you - alright - you hold the dish, using an extending tool of some sort - if it is made of wood that would be best, behind some portion of the plant or plants that you have found may be influential to cure this disease. You hold it behind or set it on the ground behind the plant exactly where the sensitive person says it's alright to put it.

Then ask the sensitive person to blow with their breath through the plant or plants towards the ground where the petri dish is sitting. Then wait. You ought to be able to see some differences in the structures in the petri dish within 12 to 15 minutes. Give it a try. It is my intention to help you find the cures in such a way as you can prove it to yourself.

Remember - everything is alive, deserves our respect and honor and remember - those cures are offered with love from plant beings misnamed weeds that are really plant doctors.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Understanding Mother Earth: Soil And More

Now comes a further understanding of the nature of Mother Earth's personality.

Mother Earth knows that she is a school for us all here and therefore she has created, with the guidance and support of Creator, the means for us to learn by creating a complete and closed system on Earth. Closed in the sense that, while there is influence from other planets and of course the sun and the moon, the functions of our bodies and of Earth happen exclusively here irregardless of the visitations of the occasional astronaut.

We come from the earth with a spark of soul within us and we return to the earth and everything that we need comes from some way by way of the earth and not just Earth as planet - in this case earth as soil.

How would you say could there be all these diseases that we get. Not just that cause death as we all must move on through the veil but all the suffering, all the pain. Within the soil there is the cure for all diseases but how to deliver that cure?

How else - either through walking on the soil and when one finds the exact right energy of a place on the land for an individual - breathing in through their feet that energy of that land and that soil but if one cannot find that than perhaps one can trust that the roots of a tree or the roots of a plant or a bush or yes what we call a weed might have found that exact soil and is touching it.

We do not need to uproot the tree or the bush or the weed. We only need to find that plant and stand in front of it and if it is the right plant we will know by the energy we feel - that warm feeling in our body or that good feeling of calm and peace.

We do not pick up the plant and tear it out of the soil, we simply look at it lovingly and in a very natural way while we're looking at it we take 3 deep breaths and exhale in a direction away from the plant for when we breathe in we breathe in that nurturing for our bodies that may support us through our difficult times and when we breathe out we blow gently away from the plant so that the pain and discomfort is blown into the air where it will be dispersed and returned to its natural energy.

I know this may sound simplistic but it is what I've been taught and what I believe through my experience. Let us now begin to assemble, those of you who are doing this or those of you who can, not just the names of plants that can help with this or that but the good places on the Earth that still have benevolent energy.

Let us remember that breathing in through parts of our body is possible. Of course we use our lungs and diaphragm and mouth to breath in but practice when you feel safe and comfortable wherever your feet are by imagining that breath coming in through the bottoms of your feet and you might even feel a sense of energy moving up your body. And if you feel the need to release energy from your body than you can lie down perhaps and aim your feet into the sky as best as possible or away from where people and animals are as best you can and simply allow yourself to push energy out through the bottoms of your feet by blowing out and letting that energy or discomfort be dispersed that way.

Remember if you cannot do anything else - the Earth curves so imagine that energy blowing out of the bottom of your feet and going 10, 20 miles. When it does that it will surely be in the sky.

Mother Earth means to provide this closed system so we will learn our natural magical abilities and what we consider magic now may simply be what is natural for us as natural beings. Yes in this age of technology - and support from all directions that is available at times we can still use what is natural to us, what the animals use, what the plants use and we must also remember we are here for only a certain amount of time because this is school and when recess takes place and our body returns to Earth we then continue on in our benevolent natural cycles. It is like breath. We breathe in, we breathe out and we go on indefinitely.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Welcoming Life That Welcomes Us, Part 4

Now with the preceding parts of this I have encouraged you to welcome, now it is time to transform.

The roots of plants - life giving plants yes, on this planet are crying out for this planet to be more benevolent and encouraging to all life forms.

For now I'm going to encourage you to transform by experiencing a moment of transformation. I am placing for you all now in a reservoir in the roots of all trees a moment of such energy.

I would like it if you would extend from your bodies - don't go out of them just extend into a tree that you feel compatibility with and that you receive the signs, as I've taught here before, to know that such compatibility is acknowledged by the tree.

You'll know by the way the tree moves or most importantly by the feelings you have in your body whether the tree has accepted your extension of yourself into tree.

This is not to be a sapling, it must be a mature tree. First allow yourself to feel the change of density and move up the tree in your consciousness to feel the branches and the sun or the wind or whatever elements are present - perhaps the moonlight or the rain on your leaves or needles or simply branches or parts.

Then move back down again, always moving slowly so it is comfortable for the tree, move back down into the roots and feel around - be in the roots until you feel the most comfortable place in the roots of the tree.

The most comfortable place for you personally will be that place of that energy that I have stored there for you. Go into it and feel it as much as possible, all the while maintaining the connection in your body so you can feel treeness and roots and be in your physical body at the same time. I didn't say it was easy but it can be done.

Then while you're in the roots I recommend you do this - picture quickly or slowly the sun, the moon, any stars you're comfortable with - could be just the night stars - all the while being in your body, being in the tree, being in the roots. Picture it as well as you can. Give yourself time so you can do it as well as possible. Overlays are acceptable and hold that for at least as long as you can - 5 seconds, 10 seconds or more.

That will help to create welcome, a reminder to the trees where they are from, how they got here and will help Mother Earth to re-energize her capacity for balance.

I thank you for your efforts on behalf of plants and other that exhale oxygen. I thank you for your efforts on this site to improve the quality of life for yourself and others. I thank you for being participants.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Welcoming Life That Welcomes Us, Part 3

Alright, let us move on now to part 3 of our project to encourage the beings who exhale oxygen.

It is a challenge is it not - how do you welcome a life form that only can move in a limited fashion. Trees limbs can move in the wind yes, and if you've had the opportunity it is possible to be with a tree and without a breath of wind it can move - you may have tried that which I wrote about some time ago. So if you have and you've been doing this work as well perhaps you'd like to try todays project.

I'm going to suggest that you create a zone in time where trees and anything that exhales oxygen can be safe. First of all lets say the following living prayer. You might say, "I am asking that all those beings who are harmonious with us by exhaling oxygen as part of their natural process feel welcome and be safe on this planet to interact with us and to live with us in the safest and most benevolent way."

After you've said that wait a few minutes and then I want you to try something else if you like.

Imagine for a moment a experience that you might have with the sun - and imagine yourself as a sun but not hot. Rather as a light source you might conceivably function to broadcast the transitional element for plants.

Keep in mind that photosynthesis actually helps plants to acquire the necessary capabilities to perpetuate themselves. So for a moment see if you can be a sun on the Earth in the most peaceful, bright and in this case cool way. Now travel or see yourself traveling on the surface of the Earth anyplace you'd like to go and what you leave behind you is a pathway that encourages, supports and plants in the earth the capacity of a sun's photosynthesis giving power.

After you've done this for a time - relax. I know this may seem like a normal creative visualization but for those of you who've been reading and doing the work on this blog and perhaps on my other - Benevolent Magic you have by now developed capabilities that can allow you to feel the combined energy of each other doing this work.

It is my intention to leave this planet some day, as we all must, and to leave you here until the end of your time here to carry on this work and I believe you can do so by interacting with each other yes - and by interacting most benevolently with the Earth. I am hopeful you shall do so.

Goodlife.

Welcoming Life That Welcomes Us, Part 2

Last time I discussed the need to create a welcome on Earth for plants. Today I'd like to suggest that we take that a step farther.

First of all I feel it would be good for you to invite all the benevolent energies, angels, beings, deities to be with you in the most loving way whether you are indoors or out and say - after you feel a sense of their presence or perhaps that energy - say the following Living Prayer to start with.

You might say, "I am asking that all plants in the world feel welcome by humanity and by Mother Earth herself to grow, to thrive, to seed and to live in the most benevolent way now."

After you say that, look around if you are outside. See if you can see a tree - perhaps one that has grown on its own, not one planted by human being but if that's all that's available - trees planted by humans then see if you can feel a sense of persona with the tree.

You can, as many of you have done, use a meditation but see if you can also extend - I've given instructions on that - to extend from your body into the tree. Make sure it is a tree that you feel good about and that the tree has accepted your energy to be extended into it and then feel the tree's roots.

While you're in there feeling the roots, move from the roots into the surrounding soil and focus on the physical feeling of welcome. Stay in the soil in and around the tree as long as you can feel the feeling of welcome.

I feel this is most important because it not only welcomes the roots into the soil but it infuses your physical energy of welcome into Mother Earth herself and I feel that she needs that.

She needs our help now to supplement her own capacity to welcome all life. Given the redistribution of life forms largely accounted for by the growth in the population of humanity we need to take over or at least supplement some of Mother Earth's life giving qualities and I feel this is a good way for you to start.

Thank you for your efforts in loving Mother Earth. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Welcoming Life That Welcomes Us, Part 1

Now it's important to begin a series here. As I said some time ago we were going to intensify the training here and with my weather series that was really the beginning of that. I've continued in some other ways because I feel it's important to use the tools that I have available at the moment to reach as many of you as possible with these skills that many of you can adapt into your own life in some form and perhaps discover your own true magical capabilities. That is my intention.

Today I want to talk to you about creating a harmonious environment for plants and other life forms that exhale oxygen.

Scientists have been concerned for some time now and many of them have reported this in their own journals and that's that the oxygen percentage in the air we breathe is steadily dropping. Granted, some of it is a problem associated with pollution but there are other problems and that is that the life forms that provide the oxygen are decreasing in number.

I do not claim to be a scientist nor do I have any particular scientific knowledge but you can research this yourself if you don't already know about it. So today I'd like to encourage you to think or research for yourself of one or two forms of life, plants come readily to mind, that exhale oxygen.

What a wonderful design yes - to have us who exhale, amongst other things, carbon dioxide - plants who inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Certainly the invisible hand of Creator is available for our appreciation with such a design amongst other things there yes.

Let's do something today - I feel that plants, while they breathe what we exhale also are looking to feel safe. We all want that don't we - we need to feel safe so that we can live as well as possible but with the expansion of our own human population plants are decreasingly available.

We think that plants are ubiquitous don't we. It seems like they're everywhere but think about the plants most especially that are not planted by us.

I believe and I have been taught that anything that has been planted and watered by human beings where we want it feels nervous because those plants assume that they are not part of the natural environment on Earth. Therefore since they did not pick where they would grow and their seeds did not travel naturally by the way Mother Earth distributes seeds with motion, water and wind and sometimes through animals and other that those seeds do not necessarily feel safe and comfortable and this is not surprising.

One person has a yard with plants they love and cherish in their garden and over the years those plants are well tended and yet another person moves in and they decide that those plants are not to their liking.

Think about it. If you were that plant you would be nervous quite often because you knew that your life was entirely in the hands of a human being whom you might not consider to be quite as magnanimous as Creator.

So, it is not my job to blame anyone no do I want to suggest that Landscape Contractors are doing anything other than helping people to create beauty and to improve their environmental surroundings. However I feel we need, as those who wish to participate in these things, to welcome plants and to welcome seeds in nature and encourage that welcoming in the soil of Earth itself.

So today I'd like to say that the energy of welcome can be visited on the earth. I want you to consider that and next time I'll give you more details.

Goodlife.

The Welcoming

Where have all the beautiful creatures gone? There has been concern for some time now about many different animals and plants species dying off. Recently - on news programs has been reported an alarming decrease in the number of bees.

This is something I have known about for some time. We all know that bees can be a little bit annoying sometimes and for some people actually dangerous and yet when you consider how, by their very needs and existence, they provide food for us by pollinating plants that we eat and through that pollination gather what they need to keep their fellow bees going and new generations to arrive we can see how valuable they are for us and simply to live in existence with each other.

How can we encourage the bees that we welcome them - this is the key.

If we are going to experience a thriving plant community so that we can eat and that other species can thrive because of the interconnectivity we have with bees and other species we must learn how to welcome them.

It is not sufficient to simply say - well, there are Africanized bees and they frighten us. We cannot simply dispose of whole colonies of bees and groups of other animals simply because we do not understand how they fit into our lives.

What can we do though - I am not here to point fingers at anyone saying that they are bad. What can we do to welcome the bees?

This is what I recommend - you have perhaps been welcomed somewhere or you have welcomed others to your home, to your office or to your life.

See if you can capture that feeling - meaning imagine being welcomed or imagine welcoming as you have welcomed before.

Hold that feeling within you and while you maintain the feeling - it is vital that you maintain the feeling - simply say, "I welcome all species of beings on this planet who are interdependent with human beings and with whom human beings are interdependent with."

It won't be easy because you will have to speak while you maintain a physical feeling. The words do not have to be precise but it is helpful.

I do not recommend that you have a picture of a bee or you imagine a bee. It is more important to say some version of the words while you maintain the feeling.

Now - in order to do this in the best possible way I recommend that the words be said outdoors where bees in energy might live, if not in the season that you are in, perhaps you are experiencing winter - then at some point.

If there are bees or other stinging creatures around and you are concerned for your well being you can say it indoors - that's also alright. This is what I recommend though in the case of bees.

Now there may be other animals or even plant species that you feel a kindred spirit with or that you feel because of their no longer being, many of them, that you feel their loss. You can do the same thing but you see - the need to do it may not be necessary there.

The request that you are making out loud and the feeling of welcoming welcomes all species. So I'm going to say that it will work for all species for which the species themselves might be interdependent with human beings but also and perhaps more importantly here in this case, for which human beings are dependent upon.

Give it a try, see if it works for you. Goodlife for you all and goodnight.

The Student And The Teacher, Part 2

Last time I was talking to you about feelings as compared to
intelligence and I referred to days gone by in the distant past where someone would be approaching a plant.

Now - as you would have approached that plant did you simply go over and pick a bunch of leaves and gobble them down - no, of course not.

If you were fortunate you'd have amongst you a medicine woman or man and they would have understood plants better then you, having had knowledge passed on to them but if that was not the case and most times it wasn't the case in ancient times you would have approached the plant as an equal.

You would have honored the plant - saying something - perhaps sounds, sounds are always acceptable to plants if they are soothing and you would not have been hunting or stalking the plant. You might have asked the plant in some way using sounds or your own language of the time whether it could spare some of its leaves to nourish you and if you'd had a good feeling the plant would have been acknowledging that it could do that.

Then you would - by moving your hand around 3 to 4 inches, up to 6 inches away from the outer perimeter of the plant - you would have moved your hand very slowly starting in any place or a place that felt good - not pointing your finger towards the plant - just moving your hand - palm towards the plant around the plant and at some point you would have felt great warmth in your physical body.

This then would have been the area of the plant where you could pick some leaves. Then you would have pointed your finger in that area and moved around from leaf to leaf.

Now you might reasonably be asking how many leaves would it take to feel satisfied. There is another point here.

In these times, our times, one feels that one is not full if one does not have a certain quantity but in ancient times one would approach a plant like that and the plant would be telling you literally not only what part of itself was the safest for you to eat but what part of itself would have been the best part for you to eat.

You would then - moving around that area that felt the best because your physical body reacted to the physical body of the plant which would be speaking to you physically in that language and you would point and you would find 1, perhaps 2 leaves and those you would move closer to and if it had continued to feel good you would have very gently removed them from the plant - not at the same time. First one, then the other.

Then you would have thanked the plant, perhaps performing a blessing of whatever was native to your culture at that time and you would have backed slowly away from the plant thanking it for its great gift of a portion of its body to your body but you would not have eaten the leaves in the presence of the plant. This would not be considered polite.

You would have moved away and tried to get out of sight of the plant. If there was some cover you would have consumed the leaves back there or divided them up amongst your family and friends and you would have eaten them very slowly.

You would have chewed them very slowly all the while giving blessings and thanking the plant and life and perhaps a deity if you had one at that time - but it is the plant you see that is offering of itself - so that was thanked first - and while you were chewing the leaves - the energy, the strength and the vitality of the plants body would have been entering your own.

It wasn't to chew it and swallow it. You chewed it many times and you did not swallow it until you felt no more vitalization - no more - it was like a subtle vibration. You did not swallow it until that feeling went away - and when that feeling was no longer present through chewing and swallowing your own liquids in your mouth, then you would have taken on all the vitality and you would have then swallowed the leaf. You'd be surprised how very much energy was derived this way.

I will say more about this in times to come. For right now, I do not recommend that you do this unless you have that wisdom in your culture - then speak to the wisdom keepers of your culture in order to understand how you can go about this.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
