Encounters With The Natural World Of Physical And Nonphysical

I recall once going into a shop years ago when I was living in Southern California. I was very young then and I don't really recall why I went into the store.

It was a very small store and I believe it was somewhere in Hollywood or in that general area. I walked in and the owner was nowhere to be seen nor was there any helper so I slowly walked towards a counter where there was a cash register and other items that you'd see that a cashier or helper might be available but instead of a helper coming out - somebody else came out.

It was a very big dog - question mark - no - it was something other than a dog and the dog being looked at me and suddenly stood up and put his front paws on my shoulders and I have to tell you - I felt like he was towering over me. There was the biggest so called dog I've ever seen.

He was huge. Sort of a charcoal grey - not really black but almost. The owner came out and chuckled and said, "I don't think I've seen him do that for years - not with somebody he didn't know."

I asked him if it was okay to pet him and the owner said, "No, he's acknowledging you and in a particularly friendly way. He only occasionally does that with me now" and the dog-being got down and wandered back behind the counter again.

I realized he was very old. I hadn't realized that right away. I asked the man what kind of dog he was and the man said he was a wolf. I asked him of course how in the world he had obtained a wolf to live with and he said that someone had given him the baby when they had a few cubs - I would assume perhaps a hunter who realized that he'd shot a wolf that had cubs - I don't know. Anyway, this was my encounter with a wolf in physical form.

There was another occasion though where I encountered a wolf in spirit form. I think I'll tell you about that next time.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

A Lesson From A Dog I Met In The Forest

I recall a time when I was living in the canyon that a neighbor who lived well up the hill used to walk her rather frightening looking dog and much as I love dogs, that dog was really scary looking.

I have to say that she seemed to take an inordinate pleasure in letting her dog run around and frighten people and she had been warned numerous times by various neighbors and government groups locally that if she didn't stop that behavior they'd have to take her to task which they did on several occasions.

Well on this one occasion when I was out for a hike in the woods near the trailer park where I was residing, the lady started walking down the hill with her dog and sure enough - she couldn't help herself - looking back at it I can see that this is something that she had become addicted to not unlike we might become addicted to smoking or something else like that.

She let the dog go and the dog raced right for me. Now I've had that occur before and it wasn't a wonderful experience then but I recall when somebody's wolf dog was racing right for me that I did something else that was similar and that is that I asked for energy to come in and I blended with the energy of the land, the trees and all that was around me.

I can't explain why I did that because it wasn't a mental choice. It was that the energy was present and I just blended with it.

What occurred was a interesting situation and that is that the dog - I felt the dog right next to me and I looked down and the dog was looking up at me in the most friendly manner. I reached down and patted the dog and it was as if the dog and I had come to some agreement that the dog didn't have to be aggressive with me - that I was a member of the forest and therefore was in the dog's world.

The lady came down and got next to the dog and said, "Oh that's fun. I love to see him scare people."

I remember at that moment looking at the dog and the dog had this expression in his eyes. You know they express their feelings in their eyes exactly the way we express our feelings in our eyes and there is no question that the look in his eyes was apology and embarrassment.

We've seen that look in people's eyes before - dogs do the same thing. Well she hooked him to the leash and she walked off chuckling. I looked at them walking off and the dog gave me a quick glance back, again a sort of acknowledgment as a fellow of the forest and a last parting slight apology. I nodded at the dog and they walked down the trail.

I thought I'd mention this to you because the experience was one that wizened me to the ways of the world while at the same time I felt that this was something that the dog and I were doing together. The dog was showing me how to be a member of the community I was in and it just so happened that the community in that specific case was the forest.

Is that not a strange tale and yet it may have some advantage for some of you out there. I'm not saying that you should do this or you should do that. I'm just reporting on the happenings of my life here. Goodlife.

More On The Deer Walk

There was a time once when I was working with a particularly talented student.

I remember that we went up to one of my favorite spots - a place that was special. It's in Flagstaff Arizona but I don't want to say exactly where - and this student was the sort of person who was a quick study. She was the sort of person that you could show her something once and she would get it. I admire that quality and it is not something that I necessarily have myself.

What I wanted to show her since she was fond of the animals and they were fond of her was how to do the deer walk. The deer walk can only be successful if you have a benevolent energy and no agenda that might harm deer or their friends and family and that you would actually like to see or be around deer.

I taught her how to do the deer walk which I can't really explain here because it is so visual and did it as an example for her suggesting the energies to request - and it would be up to her what she wanted to request but to feel as a deer as best she could and to move like a deer as best she could and after seeing my example she did do it.

It didn't last too long and then we stopped and she said quite reasonably, "What next" and I said, "Lets wait a while."

We waited not very long and we heard a rustling amongst the trees and along came a deer. The deer was nibbling a few leaves as deer will do to survive and we didn't move at all - just stood perfectly still.

The deer looked right at us, nodded just the way you or I would nod to another person and continued to walk near us though it was not necessary - the deer could have walked a different direction but walked near us roughly around our auric fields.

So given that we were attempting to make space for the deer - the deer walked in an arc about twelve feet away from us and continued past us and on into the forrest and on with deers life.

I'm mentioning this to you today to let you know that the animals are really quite prepared to embrace us even though the deer have good reason to be afraid of humans.

We were both putting out an energy of welcome and thank you for being and she said later that she had invited a deer to come if it would be comfortable for that being to do so.

The animals do love us and care for us even though they might have not met us as individuals - is that not wonderful. Goodlife.

Blessing The Land

I recall once after a flood - it was when I was living in the canyon in Arizona. The place I was living had a creek right there and as creeks do - it flooded.

This was a particularly strong flood and it was so strong it rolled rocks and boulders along the creek. If you stood near it during the flood in a safe place but near it, you could hear the clicking sound of the big boulders being moved by the surge of water.

I recall when the flood receded that the trees all looked badly damaged. I was concerned that some of them would not survive.

I recall that I stood out on the bridge - it was a low water bridge which allows the water to flow over it during a flood so even though the bridge was beat up a bit it was still possible to stand on it. I remember standing in the middle of the bridge and inviting benevolent energy to be present to heal the trees and to bring healing energy to the creek bed and to the places where the animals lived and to support the people who lived along the creek.

Within just a few seconds I was surrounded by gold light. There was a twinkling in the light as well and I could see when I looked at the trees a sort of glistening effect.

I feel that it helped the trees because within a few weeks the trees looked so much better and they were already showing new branches with new leaves. I'd like to think that the animals and the people may have benefited as well.

I'd like to suggest to you who live in and around flood areas that you try that as well. Make sure you are standing someplace safe or if you need to, sit someplace safe and ask that benevolent energies come in to support that area.

If you like you could say a Living Prayer which is similar to the one I said. You might say, "I am asking that the most benevolent energy come in now to support and sustain this area and all its life be it plants, animals or people to bring about the most benevolent healing and comfort to recover from this recent flood and may this all occur in the most benevolent way."

You could if you like say that Living Prayer and then if you notice something thats fine. If you don't try to be quiet for a few minutes afterwards because you are the one that is requesting this and so the energy when it comes through will ground itself through you.

You are not necessarily the only source of this energy but as a human being living on Earth you act very much like a lens through which this energy focuses and that is why before, during and after you say this it's good to be quiet and allow the energy to pass through you.

If there is sound around you there's not much you can do about that but see if you can avoid reacting to the sound. It might then be necessary to say this at a time and place when it is less likely that you will have to react to the sound. Thats what I recommend.

Goodlife.

Addendum

I just wanted to let you know that all of those of you who have interacted with or attempted to apply or are working on this - Giving A Helping Hand To A Needy Spirit - that I have engaged with energy and benevolence the following Living Prayer and that is, "I am asking that all those who work on, apply or interact with giving a helping hand to a needy spirit be insulated and protected from harm in the most benevolent way and that all those who may cause harm or wish to cause harm or accidentally might cause harm also be insulated and protected."

You might wonder why the last part of that Living Prayer is there but you see, Living Prayer works because it involves all of the living and even those you may not consider to be living are still living in their own form. So all must be insulated and protected for everyone to co-operate.

This is just a little addendum because of a worthy comment someone posted anonymously on part 2 of that last post of mine. It was a worthy comment even though they chose to post it anonymously and I want them to know that I have not ignored the value of their comment.

Goodlife.

Giving A Helping Hand To A Needy Spirit, Part 2

I want to help you all to learn how you can help beings , as I said in the last post who may be stuck on this planet. Usually they are beings who have been incarnated here - how to help them to move off to other places where they need to go.

It is not difficult. I'm going to give you one of the techniques I have been taught. In this technique many of you will see and have visions in your minds eye or will come to be aware of things other than in this world but others of you will simply feel the touch and feel a sudden cool breeze perhaps - as I said in the last post or feel some sensation that is otherworldly. You will have to experiment to know what that will be.

Then this is what you can do and this is what I do. I say out loud or if there are other people around you can whisper it which is not usually the case - you're usually approached when you are alone so that these beings feel safe - I always say, "Is there something I can do to help you?" I say this out loud because I have to assume that they are confused and will need an out loud voice to sort out what are my intentions and sometimes I get a word in a way that I know helps - meaning I will get a word that says, "Helping" meaning they are here - they have come from far away and they are here to help, as I said in the last post and their contact will bring some help to me even if a feeling of love and support or maybe more.

Then I simply say, "Welcome" or "Goodlife" which is a blessing, a salutation and a greeting. Then if you are not sure but you get a good feeling from that contact then assume that they are there to help but if you get a feeling that is a little uncomfortable or doesn't feel good to you then automatically assume that they are approaching you to be helped and this is one of the things that I have been taught to do.

I have pictured a staircase. It is not a physical staircase but it is essentially going from wherever I am - and it goes right through whatever exists there - walls, trees, whatever and it goes up into the sky and I tell these beings, "If you can will you call for someone that you know, to be at the top of those stairs" and they will call and you may or may not see - if you see the stairway - you may see someone approach. Don't question their appearance no matter what it is.

Then what you do is you reach out your hand and you're going to put your hand in a certain position - that hand is - well many of you know the victory symbol or the peace symbol - thats not quite it but it is those two fingers aimed out - you start with that and then you put your thumb - yes on your other two fingers and hold it - you don't separate the two fingers right now.

Then you simply relax that position (see illustration at the top of this page) where the two fingers are still out but somewhat curved - the two fingers being your first two fingers - yes and your other two fingers are curved in and your thumb is curved in but your hand is relaxed - you see. That is that position that I have found that is the most comfortable to do this work and many, many other things that I will talk about here on this site in some point in time.

Then what you do is you point your hand in that position - I use my right hand - you point it very gently in the direction of that energy or that being and if you do not see or do not get an impression that there is someone at the top of those stairs you call - you say out loud, "Is there someone who will come for this being that they will know and feel comfortable with."

You wait for just a few moments not more than say twenty or thirty seconds because it will happen almost instantaneously and you may see something. If you see something than assume that it is that which is good for them.

Then pointing to them you move your hand - in this case I will see the staircase moving up you see. You point your hand towards them in the position I described and you move your hand up the staircase - you see - going up towards those beings while you use your breath - I've talked about the breath before and will continue to do that from time to time on Mystical Man and on my other blog, Benevolent Magic - you blow gently out with the breath - not until you get your hand - you're going to move your hand in a sweeping gesture up the staircase and because you had it aimed in the general direction of where you felt that being initially, it supports that being to go up the staircase to the beings who will welcome them and take them to their most benevolent place beyond this planet.

They will be escorts and most likely, one of them or more than one will be a guide for that person you see. So by the time you get your hand at least part way on that staircase, just at the beginning or part way up the staircase you are exhaling a breath - blowing out gently - not firmly - blowing out gently because that supports the motion of them to go up that staircase beyond - to move beyond the planet and be rescued.

I am not calling upon you to do this if you do not feel to do it but if you feel to do it, it is a way you can help lost souls who are on this planet crying out for help and other times it might be beings who are approaching to help you as an individual - to encourage you, to nurture you. If the feeling that you experience when you are contacted in some way feels good they are probably there to help you. If it feels troubled and uncomfortable they are seeking you out to help them. This is what I recommend.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Giving A Helping Hand To A Needy Spirit

In my experience I often find on a daily basis that I have interactions with beings who are not physical in this world and yet they leave traces of their existence - perhaps a cool breeze because that is the course or transit method they use to either pass through our world on their way to wherever they are going or to come to our world.

My understanding of the cool breeze is that their culture exists in a different form of existence. It's not cold, it's just that in order to get to our place of existence they have to traverse a place that is cold.

Science tells us that space - where our astronauts and cosmonauts go is cold. This cold at such a level, I have been taught, is there to insulate different cultures both planetary and on the basis of personality characteristics from each other if these cultures are not compatible and yet for those who are allowed, because of their natures or because of what they may have to offer, to traverse from one culture to another they travel through this cold space in energy and when their energy arrives to touch us in some way - to bring a gift of benevolence which is almost always the case and in my case is almost exclusively the case for what I feel and who I interact with from other places - this cool breeze is an after affect of their travel.

I wanted to share that with you today because I think its been misunderstood at times.

I know you've all heard about ghost stories - of beings who are unhappy or need help. I have been trained to help these beings who are unhappy - who are stuck perhaps after having had a life here and being attached to remaining here even after their life - or other people who were attached to keeping them here even after their physical life was over and they are unhappy and trying to get help, attention by any means necessary to be rescued.

It is my intention here on Mystical Man to teach you in the next few posts how to rescue beings who are stuck here on this planet most of whom will have been living here with the occasional one who may have been stuck here from some other culture.

I will teach you the signs. I will show you the simple thing you can do to help these beings out. I will speak more of this in the next post.

Goodnight and goodlife.

Passing On The Energies Benevolently, Part 2

I spoke to you last time about breathing in benevolent energy through your head and blowing it at something that would improve the energy in that area as in the case of a room for instance that didn't feel good. Now I want to give you part two of that.

I have at times seen visions of cars crashing or even planes in desperate straits - always this is something at a great distance. I can tell because very often the planes look old - meaning the type of planes that might have been flown during World War Two that are still being flown here and there around the world but no place around where I live - and the cars frequently look a bit unusual - for instance it came up just the other day where I saw a couple of cars - it looked like they were going to crash and at first I didn't know what to make of it because it was a vision - a vision in my case meaning like a waking dream - seeing it but being wide awake.

Then I remembered to do the energy and so the energy came in and I felt it very benevolently at the top of my head and I breathed in slowly and I consciously made the effort to blow that energy towards the picture I had seen - the vision you understand and I also requested that it be gold light and when I do this I always see it as gold light spreading towards that.

I've done that also in situations where I felt that a plane might be in trouble. As I've said I always seem to see it with these old cargo planes that may be operating in some distant part of the world.

I don't do it as a rule with things that I see in person physically but I have done this a few times with human beings who are not feeling good - individuals - people I know and when I do that with this beautiful energy they always feel better. I do it also with myself and my own physical body and it helps me to feel better.

I am hopeful that some of you will notice that you have this benevolent energy and learn to recognize how it feels and try that thing with your breath. Always practice on yourself first so you know that it is something that feels good. Learn how to do that.

Never blow at anything if you're feeling a discomforting energy. This is not good for you and it's not good for them and I simply don't recommend it. It may and probably is the case that they won't feel a thing but it could come back to you in some way that isn't good. That's what I recommend based on what I've heard experiences others have had - it's not something I have done so I can't speak about it personally but it comes in the training you know - that to do it this way not do it that way so I'm passing on the training as well. I'm not to worried about any of you doing that kind of thing because I don't think you're interested in that. Nevertheless it's good to mention it - yes.

So - a little further about a plane I once saw. I saw this plane and it looked like it was just flying along but I had a flash as if something - I call it a flash meaning - a flash is an image or a vision that is so briefly available it's like a split second so I call those things a flash and the flash looked like the plane was in trouble so I breathed in the energy and I blew the energy and gold light towards what I'd seen.

I don't know of course and I probably never will know in this life whether it did any good but because I've had good experience of such energy blown with positive energy and good feeling and love and gold light towards human beings and with myself with positive results I believe it helps wherever that plane may be and wherever those cars may be and I hope this inspires you to consider that you may have these capabilities as well.

Look in to it, practice slowly and carefully, try it out on yourself first and maybe good friends to see if it works and if you feel it does work - if you get visions then try it. Perhaps it will be good and just to be sure you can say the following Living Prayer if you like. You might say, "I am asking that all energies I blow towards any and all beings wherever they may be have only benevolent results and develop into the most benevolent outcome."

Goodlife.

Passing On The Energies Benevolently

I've been trained to do something that I want to share with you. I often feel this wonderful energy at the top of my head - sometimes on the side of my face. I can tell it's really a good energy because one of the things I've been trained to do is if I go into a room that does not feel good - the energy is discomforted - perhaps something has happened there - perhaps somebody has left some uncomfortable feelings there - then what I do is I breathe in through that part of my head, I know there's no mouth there :-) yet I breathe in and this is something you can learn to do also.

I just take a breath and I focus on that physical part of my body and I take a slow breath and it's as if I'm pulling air in from that place or pulling in energy - you see. Then I very slowly blow it out in the direction of that room, obviously not if there's other people there but even if there were it would make them feel better. I know, I've had the experience. Then I blow the energy into that room, then I walk away from the room for a few minutes. When I come back the room feels fine.

I'm mentioning this to you because I feel that some of you might feel these good energies at times also. If you feel them on your head - on the top of your head - try that. Just take in a breath, concentrating on that part of your body and breathe it in and blow it in the general direction of the space that doesn't feel good. If there are people in there, you might wish to wait and not do it then.

If there are no people in there thats the time to try and experiment with it you see. Then go back into that room or that space after - say a minute or two or even five minutes and it will probably feel better. If it doesn't then continue to practice until you are sure that it is safe and the room or the space always feels better.

Then if there are people in there you could try it but try to do it only if they are people that you know so that when you practice there will not be any harm - you see. Thats what I recommend.

Give it a try and see if it works well for you. End part one.

Life Goes On

I've been taught how to see things that are not always obvious to everyone though it is my intention here on Mystical Man and on the Benevolent Magic site to teach and remind you all of how to do these things for yourself.

I recall recently looking outside of the apartment I'm currently living in and seeing a purple light. It is not round as we think of a light but a - just an unusual shape and it moved from one place to another and I recall noticing a most benevolent energy. There were other times when I have seen blue lights like this as well and I think some of you are seeing these things.

Always notice - if you feel an energy that feels good - gentle - perhaps even giving you within your own body a warm feeling - a good feeling, feel free to say, "Goodlife." These beings may not be able to speak words to you but they are there to remind you that life goes on and that immortality is a fact of all existence.

I know we are constantly reminded that life changes around us and that life is always evolving - meaning changing form. There are young ones born and old ones pass on but we are all immortal from the largest whale to the smallest protozoa. This I have been taught and this I believe.

I have seen and felt so many different types of beings and I have been taught also how to communicate with life forms that we see around us.

Talking to the animals has given me a great deal of wisdom. Remember that they are here to teach us - they are not here to learn anything. Granted, a baby bird must learn how to fly just as a baby squirrel must learn how to gather food but they are not here to learn any lessons. We are here to learn lessons.

I encourage you to learn how to communicate with the animals as best you can. They have so very much to teach us. I will find a way if I can to pass on knowledge to you from the animals.

I have put out a book some time ago of what I have been taught from the animals and it is my intention to - working with my publisher - bring out another book as soon as she is able to do so. I am not trying to plug anything here but rather to encourage you that if I can do it perhaps you can find a way to do it as well.

The animals love us and they want to help us and many of them are determined to stay here that they can teach us things that we need to know. Life is immortal, we are all immortal and yet we must honor, have faith in, appreciate and support mortal life as well.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Contacting Auric Fields

I recall a friend of mine once was having headaches on a regular basis and he got to the point where he just didn't tell anybody about it because there wasn't much he could do about it and he was just kind of worn down by the experience.

I recall once when he was visiting me at the trailer park that he casually mentioned that he was having one of his headaches. So I asked him to stand up and I reached towards him without touching him in the general direction of his head and suddenly he stood up straight and said, "Oh - headache had completely gone away." It came back slightly but then it felt so much better he didn't want me to do any more.

Now I'm bringing this to your attention because at the time I wasn't entirely sure what had happened because I was functioning spontaneously. I had not done to much work with people in what is often called healing but what is really from my perspective, the removal of discomfort for a time and sometimes it's permanent but thats the way I prefer to look at it. I just touched his auric field. I didn't touch his body and I recall I was no closer then about - oh maybe a foot away from his head when it felt better.

I'm bringing this to your attention because I feel that some of you may have this capability and I'd like to suggest you try something. Reach your hand out and gradually move your hand, palm facing your body, towards your body and see if you notice a little resistance or a very slight feeling in your physical body.

When you have that feeling it probably means that you are contacting your auric field. The same can be done with another person but I recommend that you explore the parameters - meaning the distance of your auric field from your body - for a time. This will give you an opportunity to observe a phenomena that is a real thing for us all and also will give you an opportunity to enjoy a capacity that can be used in other ways.

For instance, not long ago I recommended to a friend that when his cat was busy - and he's very fond of his cat - or his cat was not feeling well and he wanted to pet his cat to soothe it and calm it that he could pet his cats auric field by moving his hand towards his cat and when he felt a slight resistance or a slight feeling in his own body that that was as close to his cat as his hand ought to be. Then with the palm of his hand facing his cat he could follow the contours of his cats body just as if he was petting the cat from head to tail. In that case it would be good to make strokes from head to tail, pull your hand back and then move your hand towards your cats head and go head to tail. This way you're not pushing the energy back and forth.

I'm not suggesting that you pet yourself from head to tail but I'm giving you an example of how this can be used and I will build on it in the future.

Goodlife.

Another Day In The Trailer Park

I remember there was an occasion when I was living in the trailer park where there had been a great deal of rain, much of it unexpected and it being towards the later part of winter there was also snow further up the canyon and then with the alternating rain and snow and the creek running very high indeed the prediction came from the weather people that they were expecting a huge storm to arrive and they were predicting anywhere between four and five inches of rain for the city itself and for us up in the canyon of course it was always more. So people were very worried especially those in the first few rows of the trailer park near the creek.

I remember wondering if there was something I ought to do about that as I had been taught how to work with the weather and yet I had made a friend in the park and she and I were discussing it one day - this at about - oh maybe a day to a day and a half before the storm was scheduled to arrive and I suddenly had a flash of insight as it was something that I'd worked on once before in such a manner.

I remember saying to her even though there was absolutely every bit of evidence to the contrary that the storm was going to miss us to the north. She looked at me. She said, "Okay?" I said, "Now, the storm is going to miss us to the north" and I remember requesting that she go around and tell people in the park that the storm was going to miss us to the north.

I don't recall exactly what she did but I know I told one or two others who I was quite certain were the sort of social type of people who would tell everybody else and thats what I did.

Well, I don't have to tell you do I - the storm missed us to the north much to everybody's amazement. Now I'm not trying to say that I am some kind of magician but rather it occurred to me that this was an occasion in which people could express a sense of welcoming the sun without actually knowing that this is what was going on. It is not manipulation when it causes relief and happiness - keep that in mind when it comes to the shamanic and mystical world. Sometimes when people are frightened and don't know what to do they get upset easily - we can all understand that - and so this was not a psychological suggestion either.

It was a statement made with energy - I felt the energy come in when I said that to my friend and she felt it too as a sensitive person. It just so happened that I had some little reputation in the trailer park and a few people knew that I was a spiritual person and one particular friend - an elderly man who had insights about such things understood when I told him that the storm would miss us to the north - what that meant - and when he told others - as he told me later - he said it in such a way - in some cases very nonchalant and in other cases a little more firmly that everyone in the park believed it and expected that when they got up the next morning that the sun would be shining brightly - and so it was.

Sometimes the littlest things can bring about the best things. This was not a case of allusion or delusion. It was not a case of wishful thinking. Everyone went to bed expecting and welcoming and feeling relieved that the sun would be out brightly the next day which it was. Well, thats my short story for today. It worked out well.

Goodlife.

With The Assistance Of Mother Earth And Greenstone

I remember once when I was living in the trailer park that the waters of the creek rose high, very high.

I had been given a piece of greenstone by some friends from New Zealand who were Maori. Greenstone is something very precious to the Maori people and it is something that is found in water and my Maori friend who is a Mystical Man and Shaman said that it worked well with water especially.

Well the water was up very high and I decided that since it was threatening the first two rows of the trailer park and some damage had already been done - my trailer was back several rows - that I would perhaps try the greenstone. I hadn't been sure whether it was alright to try the greenstone before that or whether it was alright to interfere with nature because floods are part of her way of cleansing herself.

Still I was concerned for my neighbors - while none of them was in any danger they were frightened. So I took the greenstone and went with a friend who was someone I was teaching and we went over to the water. Granted the water was not clean but I felt it was necessary to stand in it because I had to address the water as an entity.

I took out the greenstone and encouraging my student to observe but not stare I placed the greenstone in the water. It seemed to glow a little bit - purple. Then I said a Living Prayer requesting that the water be higher on the side that the trailer park was not on.

I realize that sounds ridiculous perhaps, to you since water will be flat across its surface but I asked for what I felt was needed. The greenstone then showed - I could see it and so could my student - a purple image of itself which moved around in a particular cycle above it.

We glanced at it since we did not feel it was appropriate to stare at it doing its work and we stayed for about five or ten minutes saying prayers. Well, what happened next was something that I'm sure many of you will say is not possible but what occurred is that even though the water was predicted to rise it did not rise on the side where the trailer park was on - it rose on the other side where there were no trailers, no people and only the lands of nature.

Granted the only explanation could be that it was rising on a slanted pattern - meaning higher on one side than on the other and I could clearly see that the marker we all used to check how high the water was - which was a post on which the mailbox for the trailer park sat - was covered but that on the side where the trailer park was, that the water had receded.

I thought I'd share this with you not to suggest that I am so grand or anything like that but just to suggest that there are things in nature and in life that we do not understand all the time but which are benevolent and love us and will work with us at times when requested.

Goodlife.

With The Assistance Of Grandmother

There was a time many years ago when I had an opportunity to get to know somebody better after their death then during life - does that not sound strange?

I was living in a trailer park that was in a particularly nice area of Arizona. It was however an area that was prone to floods from time to time - not generally devastating floods but just rises in water.

The person I referred to was my neighbor - lived nearby me. Oh, we would wave - you know how it is - you wave at your neighbor and then you go on about your business. We never really had much of a chance to say anything but, "Hi, how yah doin?" You know, like that.

One day there was an unexpected flood and my neighbor being unused to the area and the way things went there did not know or perhaps forgot that the water would roll over the bridge that led from one place to another and that even though it may not look like very much it could be more that it seemed and it was the case on that day.

It was enough so that her small car which was not very heavy was floated over the bridge and into the water and while my neighbor was strong and athletic she could not fight it and disappeared downstream. Heroic efforts were made by other neighbors to rescue her but it was not possible. Such tragedies happen often and when we read about them or hear about them we are sad and perhaps we say prayers as I often do.

Still this was somebody that I knew, not well granted but a neighbor - quite a shock. Something happened shortly thereafter though that was an unusual event even in my life.

I remember that there was a search on for (I'll call her) Ronni. It was a search and rescue for a time and then it became a recovery for a time. I was sitting in my trailer pondering the suddenness of my neighbor's disappearance when all of a sudden I saw Ronni walking cheerfully along the path that led past my trailer to hers and she looked perfectly joyful, perfectly happy the way she always did - even more cheerful actually.

The thing about it is that she was - I could see her in complete form - she was a light being - beautiful white and gold and I jumped up and looked at her. She glanced at me very surprised but not upset, smiled and continued on her way.

I suppose you could just call this something like a ghost experience but it's not frightening at all. She looked wonderful. I had never seen her look so cheerful. She walked around her trailer, walked around the park a bit and then came back and sat in another part of the trailer and looked at me and she said, "You can see me" and I said, "Yes" and she said, "I had heard that you had gifts and were a Shaman. It's true isn't it" and I said, "Yes."

She said, "I wish we had gotten to know each other better but I don't know how long I'm going to be here" and I said, "You're welcome to stay until you feel the need to move on or you can come and visit anytime you like."

So for the next sixteen hours she would come and go and when she would come by she would sit, though I didn't get the impression she was tired - just putting me at ease perhaps and we'd chat about this and that. Never anything about after death experience. It didn't seem right you know.

She would talk about life in the park and how beautiful it was and how she never had really noticed how beautiful it was during life. It was a pretty place. Many trees, friendly neighbors - a nice place to live.

At one point though and it was about at the sixteenth hour - she was talking about something - I don't remember what and all of a sudden there was a white light behind her and she said, "Oh, Grandmothers here" and I saw with the light - two arms of light reach out and reach around her as one might see someone hug another person from the back and pull her gently towards the light and then there was only the white light and then she was gone.

It was a magical time. I was comforted by seeing her be so happy and heres the postscript - at almost the same time - the recovery operation was successful and she was found. I'm not saying that there was an absolute connection between the recovery and the coming of Grandmother but it seems like there may have been and I'm happy I could be there for her after her passing and I'm feeling it's alright to share this story with you now. I'm hopeful that if any of her friends or relatives read this that they will be comforted to know that she was happy and moved on with the aid of Grandmother.

Goodlife.

Another Brasilian Adventure

I remember a time when I was in Brasil visiting with friends and working. We went for a ride to a small town. On our way though, one of my friends saw a person that she knew and we pulled over in the car and she talked with them briefly and then we started going in a different direction.

She said that she had heard that there had been an unusual event at someone's house nearby and that they were allowing a few people in and so we drove over there and we came to this home that had a fence around it and we were let through the gate. It was a large property but it was not opulent - simply a considerable amount of land and a few structures on it.

We drove in and it looked like a nice place and we drove up to the main house and got out and my friend there who of course was a native of that country began speaking to the resident and it turned out that they had had a strange phenomena the night before and as a result many of the people who lived there including the owners favorite dog were acting strangely and he was very concerned.

He spoke to my friend as if they were old friends because many people there are - I've discovered in Brasil were quite friendly and had good hearts often open to each other - and they walked around and I walked with my friend from the States after them and after she had had a lengthy conversation with the owner of the property who lived there she reported to us that during the night everybody had slept very deeply - much deeper than usual except for the man's son who had stayed up to watch tv and that he had, the owner that is, had gone in to see his son that morning and could not wake him. The doctor had come out and said that the son appeared to be alright but that he was sleeping so deeply he could not be awakened and the doctor had left.

Well they had left everything exactly as it was. They checked the house and the property over and nothing had been stolen or apparently disturbed and they were quite baffled.

The woman that I had gone to Brasil with, my friend, had walked around the property during this whole conversation and she called me over at some point and said, "You've got to see this" and so I excused myself from the group and walked with her over to a portion of the property that was near one of the outer boundary fences and there on the grass, for it was simply relatively short cut grass, was something that I had heard about and read about but never actually seen was a Crop Circle and while I grant there was no crops there to speak of since it was grass it was quite clear what it was.

My friend reported that as she came close to it that the energy was overpowering and true enough - I knelt down beside it and held my hand out over it and there was no question that there was a wonderful energy radiating from it - the type of energy that is very comfortable to me - something I often refer to as being magnetic.

Well it had a distinct pattern which I wish I could reproduce here for you but I don't know how. I can only say it involved certain segments of circles and arcs of a type that created a pattern that looked familiar to me. If I can reproduce it and put a picture up here someday I will - and then my friend - whom I shall refer to as N that I went to Brasil with - during my study of the Crop Circle had walked over and came to me and said that the owners dog was behaving strangely and that the owner appeared to be very concerned.

The dog was a young German shepherd - according to the owner was only about eight months old, was quite large and was normally full of pep and exuberance as any young dog might be but I observed the dog - he would get up, walk a few steps and then lay down, get up, walk a few steps and then lay down.

The owner said that he was very worried that the dog was ill but had checked him over and the dog did not appear to be sick in any way. My friend asked me could I help the dog and since I have been able to help animals sometimes I walked over to the dog who was just laying there and I knelt down beside him and he looked almost like - picture a human being who was somewhat drugged.

The dog genuinely looked drugged but I was quite certain that the owner who loved the dog would not do such a thing and I reached over with my left hand and held my hand in a certain way and reached towards the dogs nose slowly - not the tip of his nose but what you might call the bridge of his nose and suddenly the dog hopped up and at the moment the dog hopped up I also at that moment had a complete understanding of what had occurred.

Apparently the dog had been left with the memory of it because when the event of the night before had occurred the dog was the only one who was wide awake and in full possession of all of his senses and I would like to relate to you here what I received from the dog.

It had been the middle of the night and sure enough the son was watching television. While he was watching television he had fallen asleep but then he would wake up every once in a while and continue watching his program as many of us do.

The dog became bored with this activity and walked out of the house since the door was open and walked around the property being somewhat bored and also looking around to see what was happening as any dog might. And then there was a light in the sky and the light got brighter and brighter and suddenly descended directly to land on the property and the dog was barking furiously and ran back to the area where the son had been watching tv but the young man was totally asleep and the dog could not awaken him even though he pulled on his sleeve as a dog might and the dog ran around to the other houses and was barking furiously to get people to wake up but nobody would wake up and come out. So the dog ran back to the bright object and was barking at it.

Then the object grew less bright and there was like a glass dome on the top. Someone stepped out of the dome and looking at the dog, reached in the general direction of the dog and the dog grew very calm and was then just a quiet observer. The being who looked to the dog like any human being - perhaps a little taller and perhaps with fingers just a little longer, got out and walked over towards one of the other portions of the fence that went around the house and right about that time I started to understand from the beings point of view as well.

It appeared that somehow the being was able to calm the dog and that the dog actually understood what the being was thinking and this is what I got from the dog's memory - that this being who was from a distant planet had come to visit a place that he had visited once before with his mate - his wife yes - and they had enjoyed the area.

It was some seven hundred years before. They had come and landed - there was no house there at the time. It was just open land - and they had walked over to an area that had some trees and they had sat down and apparently, it looked to me since I had the picture of it, that they had something to eat and then they either spoke or sang to each other - that wasn't clear to me - still isn't but it was quite a pleasant scene. Then they had been affectionate in some way with each other, then had gotten up, walked around the general land, went back to their ship and continued on their travels.

So this being had come to visit that spot since his mate had passed away not long ago and he was traveling with his companion around to various places where he had visited with his dear one and even though there was at that time a house - I didn't mention it was a house in the country so it was a distance from any city - a house on the property, he was visiting those places.

They had the capacity to very gently calm life in the area so that animals and humans alike would either sleep or be in a calm restful state. The being wandered around the property a bit - not harming anyone but the dog tagging fairly close along - the being walked and went over and touched one of the walls of the main house which was made of brick - touched it to feel the consistency of the brick apparently. Then walked over and touched a lawn mower - didn't exactly move it but shoved it a little bit the way you'd touch something that was flexible.

Then walked over - and the door was open - where the son had been watching tv and the screen of the television was fuzzy the way they get when the show goes off the air. The son was sitting in a chair sound asleep and the being then continued walking around the property until they had returned to the ship. Then as the being was going to get back into the ship, the person stopped, walked back to the dog who was still standing there and reached down with one of his hands and not touching the dog but apparently coming close to the same spot that I had reached for at the front of the dog's head did something which apparently allowed the dog to remember everything that had happened - not just in the details of what the dog could see and sense but also in the details of the beings memory leaving essentially the story of the event - and then getting back in the ship and leaving and the mark left on the ground was a mark that their vehicle would leave.

Interestingly enough I knew after, essentially if I can use the term - downloading the dog, I knew that the mark on the ground was the shape of the way they built their cities on their home planet and it was an interesting pattern. There were rows of dwellings shaped in an arc pattern - picture arcs that would make up a circle in four arcs alright - and that there would be gaps in between them and the gaps would lead to a central park that was also a circle - very attractive - and then of course there was the outer boundary of the circle that the ship left and that was sort of a map of how they lived.

I want to let you know that after I suddenly had all this knowledge the dog jumped up very spryly and started running around the property happy again with occasional barks and very cheerful and the owner was thrilled and was so happy and I might add that the people started waking up around the household and were able to walk around. Apparently the dogs state of condition was somehow linked to other people on the property and everybody got up and started walking around and asked, "What happened" and so on.

For some reason the owner was not effected to the same extent the others were and was perfectly able to get around and talk and ask for help and so on. Then the Press showed up and they wanted to interview somebody but of course since I didn't speak the language I asked my Brasilian friend if she would talk to them and she did and shortly after that we left.

I thought I'd report this to you. I know it's a lengthy story but I thought I'd report it to you because it was an interesting experience and I was quite intrigued since I had never been exposed to a crop circle and it was kind of a fun thing. I was glad I could help the dog and help the people and I thought perhaps you might be interested in this particular experience I had. Goodlife.

Just Another News Story...

There was a time when I visited a country that is a very beautiful place. I remember several unusual things happening there. One of the more interesting things that I'd have to say that happened there was something that I don't see in our country - at least not reported as a normal news story and that is that the newspapers reported with color photos on the front page and articles written just as if it were any other news event without any derision at all, of UFO's seen over the country and even reported some anomalous events happening on the ground. People saying they saw something or heard something that was directly correlated to these UFO sightings.

That country is Brasil. Clearly one of the more spiritual countries I've ever visited. I found the people there not only delightful in many ways but profoundly spiritual and well connected to consciousness.

I couldn't help but note the completely straight forward and candid way that such stories were reported there. I know that in our country the Press feels pressured to be derisive simply because of constraints they feel upon themselves or perhaps editorial policies that may have nothing to do with news gathering services. I do not know the real reason - thats just my conjecture. Regardless of their reasons to report or not report such news I found it profoundly refreshing to experience such reports in Brasil as if it were just any other news event.

I know this is not a big deal but I will report other bits and pieces of my experience here as time goes on. Goodlife.

There Is A World...

Once when I was walking down a road I came upon a clearing on the left side of the road that I had never seen before. I had walked down this road and back many, many, many times - I had never seen that clearing on the left. It was quite a surprise.

I remember walking around in it as if it weren't real and there was a strange sense even of deja vu but I couldn't put my finger on it. I remember the next time I walked down that road which was about a week later looking to see if that place was there and you know, a funny thing, it was there but it was most definitely smaller. Have you ever had an experience like that?

I'm not talking about a dream. I'm talking about a physical occurrence. In my life when oddities like that occur I often ask the question, "What was that" and I'll tell you what the answer was and that is that it was an overlay of another world that I walked into.

Do you know that there are portals and passages all over the surface of our planet. They are disguised and hidden from us so as to protect those on the other side if we were able to step through those portals and to protect the portal itself. Remember, everything is alive.

We are not evil beings by nature but we have discomfort within us - almost all of us at all times. It is that discomfort that we use to motivate ourselves to make our lives and the lives of others better, but there is another world almost like this one - though totally benevolent. I feel it is right here in this space and that we will find it very soon.

I know this simple story may seem made up to you - I assure you it's true and I have had moments when I've had glimpses of that world. It looks much like ours but the feeling that is omnipresent is peace and calm. I feel that we have come from this world and that we return to it and that the reason we are here on this planet is to see if we can recreate that in some benevolent way. I feel we are all making the effort and we will find the way soon.

Goodlife.

Understanding Your Auric Field Through Your Pet's Needs, Part 2

You have had the opportunity now to perhaps touch or pet your favorite and beloved pet at a distance along the lines of their auric field and perhaps you have also experienced contacting your own aura with your hand. Now I'd like you to try something again and thats to experience your auric field in relationship to something else.

This is best done with a blank wall and by blank I mean not to much going on on it - nothing to distract you such as a painting or a television set or something like that, just a blank wall if you can find one thats at least five, ten, maybe even fifteen feet away from you.

Stand in front of the wall and slowly, very slowly walk towards the wall or move towards it in some fashion. When you feel even the slightest amount of contact, even though you might be many feet away from the wall, stop. This contact is most likely your auric field touching the wall but there is more to it.

The wall itself has an energy also so it might very well be that your auric field is contacting the auric field of the wall. I know this may seem to be very esoteric but there will be opportunities to use this and to learn how to use it. Thats why I want to get you started on it now. I will build on this more in the future.

Goodlife.

Understanding Your Auric Field Through Your Pet's Needs, Part 1

Greetings. Today I'd like to talk to you briefly about something you can do with your beloved pets.

Sometimes you have noticed, people who have cats eh, that you go to pet your cat or you want to pick your cat up to pet it and cat runs away or lets you know that it doesn't want to be petted then and it can be disconcerting. I'd recommend this - for some cats they will be involved you see, in meditations. You have seen this sometimes - or they will be in a light state of concentration connecting with their peers perhaps or the home planet - who knows. Cats are mysterious and are clearly designed to be in our lives to support our quest for the unknown besides being a comfort as they often are.

This is what I recommend and it can be applied I might add, to dogs or any animal that is otherwise distracted or in pain or elderly and cannot receive touch comfortably. First observe the contours of cats body since I'm using cat for an example here today. Then once you've observed that, approach cat from a distance.

Don't get much closer than a few feet away with your hand - don't touch cat. Perhaps you'll be standing over cat, and do not make like you're going to touch cat or even think about touching cat because cats are perceptive and so are dogs I might add and other creatures as well. Then standing about oh, a foot or two away from cat or whatever is your arms length reach towards cat with your right or left hand as if you were going to pet cat but pet them slowly from a distance of about two to even as much as three feet following the contour of their body.

You might say - well, what comfort is there in this - but I will get there - and see if cat has any reaction. Cat might look at you, might seem comforted, might enjoy the experience but you see - what you are doing is that you are petting along the general lines of the cats auric field and cat will be comforted - feeling safe. That is the key to understanding this process.

We all want and need to feel safe and your cat or your dog or other being that you love needs to feel safe and such petting is an honoring of their personal space and whatever they are engaged in even though it may not be obvious to us at the moment.

Now for the second part of this brief talk today I'd like you to practice on yourself feeling your own auric field. So extend your right or left arm, whichever you're comfortable doing, and have your palm facing your body.

See if you can heighten the sense of feeling - meaning really be inside and on the surface of whichever hand is facing your body at that distance and move it very gradually and slowly toward your chest or solar plexus - anyplace that your hand would be most comfortably moving towards.

You can sit or stand or even lay down - thats fine. What you're looking for here is not resistance so much but a slight sense of contact or touch. It will be very slight for most of you though for some of you there might be some - perhaps a little more feeling - and see if you can notice it. Thats all for today - just notice it. That is your own auric field and I will build on that knowledge in the future.

Goodlife.

Communion With Other Species, Part 2

Today I want to continue what we started last time and thats Communion With Other Species.
Last time I suggested how you could feel your physical body and extend your physical awareness into a piece of wood or a stick or furniture and notice the change of density. This preparation is going to be helpful for what I suggest you do today.

If you have a dog or a cat or a horse or another pet - someone who is familiar with you that you've been around a lot who likes you and you like them - that is essential. Or at least someone, some being you understand, with which you feel a rapport - not another human being because we're attempting to learn here - are we not - communion with other species.

This is what I recommend you do - this works best with cats but it can also work with dogs and other creatures - I recommend that you become aware of your physical body in the way we practiced last time. First you will touch your chest with your hands and feel touching your chest, then you will be in your chest feeling hands touching your chest - see. So go into your body that way and be in your physical body - moving throughout your physical body as you choose and when you become in that heightened state of physical awareness I'm going to encourage you to extend, don't go out of your body, extend into your cat or dog or other creature and notice what they do. Don't do this while they are asleep but do this if they are at a distance - not touching you.

Most animals will acknowledge in some way that this is alright or it is not. If your dog or cat suddenly moves away from you or looks at you in a way that is disapproving for those of you who understand their looks then stop immediately. Say, "Goodlife" to them which is a way of honoring them and wait to do this at another time when they approve or do so with another dog and another cat - you may have more than one. What I recommend then is if they approve they will either not look at you or they will relax and even appear to be, in some cases in a slightly altered fully relaxed state.

I'm going to choose a cat as a model. If you're extending from your physical body notice the change of density - you might actually have somewhat of a sensation of the cat's tail moving, or the cat moving its claws slightly in the carpet or rug or dirt or grass. If the cat is moving about a little bit see if you can feel it. Remember, you must stay in your body physically so that you have your own sense of physical touch about you.

Then if the cat is accepting this and has eyes open, then see - try - see if you can see out of the cat's eyes. You may have to close your own eyes to have that experience. If you do - go ahead. Some of you will be able to see out of the cat's eyes and your own simultaneously - that could be confusing but if it works for you go ahead. You will see things through the cat's eyes that you do not normally see.

Many of you have seen cats suddenly look at something and you look and you don't see anything. This will give you an opportunity to see what they see. It will not be frightening. The things they are looking at are things that are present in your world and are benign but are of other worlds. For many of you this will give you a chance to have that experience you've wanted to have for so long where you can see other worlds in your own world. If you see something that is confusing or unsettling then open your own eyes and look with your own eyes. This will automatically pull you back a bit from cat.

This is what I recommend that you do in order to experience other species. For those of you who have dogs - try that with dog and see if you can see through dog's eyes. Dogs have great heart and you might see things that move you and cause you to feel very strong in feelings.

Try this out with different creatures and after you have done it with your own pets who know you and feel good about you then if you like you can try the same technique with a living tree. If you can, pick a tree that is not a sapling - not a young tree but one that is older and wiser. You might feel the sense of the wind rustling the leaves or the sun or the rain landing on the needles or leaves of the tree.

Don't try to speak or have communion with words. Just experience the feelings and the extension of your own feelings and senses. Thats what I'm going to suggest for now. I will build on this in time either on this site or on Benevolent Magic site.

Goodlife.
