THE SHAMANIC VIEW OF MENTAL ILLNESS

The Shamanic View of Mental Illness

.

In the shamanic view, mental illness signals “the birth of a healer,” explains Malidoma Patrice Somé. Thus, mental disorders are spiritual emergencies, spiritual crises, and need to be regarded as such to aid the healer in being born.

What those in the West view as mental illness, the Dagara people regard as “good news from the other world.” The person going through the crisis has been chosen as a medium for a message to the community that needs to be communicated from the spirit realm. “Mental disorder, behavioral disorder of all kinds, signal the fact that two obviously incompatible energies have merged into the same field,” says Dr. Somé. These disturbances result when the person does not get assistance in dealing with the presence of the energy from the spirit realm.

One of the things Dr. Somé encountered when he first came to the United States in 1980 for graduate study was how this country deals with mental illness. When a fellow student was sent to a mental institute due to “nervous depression,” Dr. Somé went to visit him.

“I was so shocked. That was the first time I was brought face to face with what is done here to people exhibiting the same symptoms I’ve seen in my village.” What struck Dr. Somé was that the attention given to such symptoms was based on pathology, on the idea that the condition is something that needs to stop. This was in complete opposition to the way his culture views such a situation. As he looked around the stark ward at the patients, some in straitjackets, some zoned out on medications, others screaming, he observed to himself, “So this is how the healers who are attempting to be born are treated in this culture. What a loss! What a loss that a person who is finally being aligned with a power from the other world is just being wasted.”

Another way to say this, which may make more sense to the Western mind, is that we in the West are not trained in how to deal or even taught to acknowledge the existence of psychic phenomena, the spiritual world. In fact, psychic abilities are denigrated. When energies from the spiritual world emerge in a Western psyche, that individual is completely unequipped to integrate them or even recognize what is happening. The result can be terrifying. Without the proper context for and assistance in dealing with the breakthrough from another level of reality, for all practical purposes, the person is insane. Heavy dosing with anti-psychotic drugs compounds the problem and prevents the integration that could lead to soul development and growth in the individual who has received these energies.

On the mental ward, Dr Somé saw a lot of “beings” hanging around the patients, “entities” that are invisible to most people but that shamans and psychics are able to see. “They were causing the crisis in these people,” he says. It appeared to him that these beings were trying to get the medications and their effects out of the bodies of the people the beings were trying to merge with, and were increasing the patients’ pain in the process. “The beings were acting almost like some kind of excavator in the energy field of people. They were really fierce about that. The people they were doing that to were just screaming and yelling,” he said. He couldn’t stay in that environment and had to leave.

In the Dagara tradition, the community helps the person reconcile the energies of both worlds–”the world of the spirit that he or she is merged with, and the village and community.” That person is able then to serve as a bridge between the worlds and help the living with information and healing they need. Thus, the spiritual crisis ends with the birth of another healer. “The other world’s relationship with our world is one of sponsorship,” Dr. Somé explains. “More often than not, the knowledge and skills that arise from this kind of merger are a knowledge or a skill that is provided directly from the other world.”

The beings who were increasing the pain of the inmates on the mental hospital ward were actually attempting to merge with the inmates in order to get messages through to this world. The people they had chosen to merge with were getting no assistance in learning how to be a bridge between the worlds and the beings’ attempts to merge were thwarted. The result was the sustaining of the initial disorder of energy and the aborting of the birth of a healer.

“The Western culture has consistently ignored the birth of the healer,” states Dr. Somé. “Consequently, there will be a tendency from the other world to keep trying as many people as possible in an attempt to get somebody’s attention. They have to try harder.” The spirits are drawn to people whose senses have not been anesthetized. “The sensitivity is pretty much read as an invitation to come in,” he notes.

Those who develop so-called mental disorders are those who are sensitive, which is viewed in Western culture as oversensitivity. Indigenous cultures don’t see it that way and, as a result, sensitive people don’t experience themselves as overly sensitive. In the West, “it is the overload of the culture they’re in that is just wrecking them,” observes Dr. Somé. The frenetic pace, the bombardment of the senses, and the violent energy that characterize Western culture can overwhelm sensitive people.

Schizophrenia and Foreign Energy

With schizophrenia, there is a special “receptivity to a flow of images and information, which cannot be controlled,” stated Dr. Somé. “When this kind of rush occurs at a time that is not personally chosen, and particularly when it comes with images that are scary and contradictory, the person goes into a frenzy.”

What is required in this situation is first to separate the person’s energy from the extraneous foreign energies, by using shamanic practice (what is known as a “sweep”) to clear the latter out of the individual’s aura. With the clearing of their energy field, the person no longer picks up a flood of information and so no longer has a reason to be scared and disturbed, explains Dr. Somé.

Then it is possible to help the person align with the energy of the spirit being attempting to come through from the other world and give birth to the healer. The blockage of that emergence is what creates problems. “The energy of the healer is a high-voltage energy,” he observes. “When it is blocked, it just burns up the person. It’s like a short-circuit. Fuses are blowing. This is why it can be really scary, and I understand why this culture prefers to confine these people. Here they are yelling and screaming, and they’re put into a straitjacket. That’s a sad image.” Again, the shamanic approach is to work on aligning the energies so there is no blockage, “fuses” aren’t blowing, and the person can become the healer they are meant to be.

It needs to be noted at this point, however, that not all of the spirit beings that enter a person’s energetic field are there for the purposes of promoting healing. There are negative energies as well, which are undesirable presences in the aura. In those cases, the shamanic approach is to remove them from the aura, rather than work to align the discordant energies

Alex: Crazy in the USA, Healer in Africa

To test his belief that the shamanic view of mental illness holds true in the Western world as well as in indigenous cultures, Dr. Somé took a mental patient back to Africa with him, to his village. “I was prompted by my own curiosity to find out whether there’s truth in the universality that mental illness could be connected with an alignment with a being from another world,” says Dr. Somé.

Alex was an 18-year-old American who had suffered a psychotic break when he was 14. He had hallucinations, was suicidal, and went through cycles of dangerously severe depression. He was in a mental hospital and had been given a lot of drugs, but nothing was helping. “The parents had done everything–unsuccessfully,” says Dr. Somé. “They didn’t know what else to do.”

With their permission, Dr. Somé took their son to Africa. “After eight months there, Alex had become quite normal, Dr. Somé reports. He was even able to participate with healers in the business of healing; sitting with them all day long and helping them, assisting them in what they were doing with their clients . . . . He spent about four years in my village.” Alex stayed by choice, not because he needed more healing. He felt, “much safer in the village than in America.”

To bring his energy and that of the being from the spiritual realm into alignment, Alex went through a shamanic ritual designed for that purpose, although it was slightly different from the one used with the Dagara people. “He wasn’t born in the village, so something else applied. But the result was similar, even though the ritual was not literally the same,” explains Dr. Somé. The fact that aligning the energy worked to heal Alex demonstrated to Dr. Somé that the connection between other beings and mental illness is indeed universal.

After the ritual, Alex began to share the messages that the spirit being had for this world. Unfortunately, the people he was talking to didn’t speak English (Dr. Somé was away at that point). The whole experience led, however, to Alex’s going to college to study psychology. He returned to the United States after four years because “he discovered that all the things that he needed to do had been done, and he could then move on with his life.”

The last that Dr. Somé heard was that Alex was in graduate school in psychology at Harvard. No one had thought he would ever be able to complete undergraduate studies, much less get an advanced degree.

Dr. Somé sums up what Alex’s mental illness was all about: “He was reaching out. It was an emergency call. His job and his purpose was to be a healer. He said no one was paying attention to that.”

After seeing how well the shamanic approach worked for Alex, Dr. Somé concluded that spirit beings are just as much an issue in the West as in his community in Africa. “Yet the question still remains, the answer to this problem must be found here, instead of having to go all the way overseas to seek the answer. There has to be a way in which a little bit of attention beyond the pathology of this whole experience leads to the possibility of coming up with the proper ritual to help people.

Longing for Spiritual Connection

A common thread that Dr. Somé has noticed in “mental” disorders in the West is “a very ancient ancestral energy that has been placed in stasis, that finally is coming out in the person.” His job then is to trace it back, to go back in time to discover what that spirit is. In most cases, the spirit is connected to nature, especially with mountains or big rivers, he says.

In the case of mountains, as an example to explain the phenomenon, “it’s a spirit of the mountain that is walking side by side with the person and, as a result, creating a time-space distortion that is affecting the person caught in it.” What is needed is a merger or alignment of the two energies, “so the person and the mountain spirit become one.” Again, the shaman conducts a specific ritual to bring about this alignment.

Dr. Somé believes that he encounters this situation so often in the United States because “most of the fabric of this country is made up of the energy of the machine, and the result of that is the disconnection and the severing of the past. You can run from the past, but you can’t hide from it.” The ancestral spirit of the natural world comes visiting. “It’s not so much what the spirit wants as it is what the person wants,” he says. “The spirit sees in us a call for something grand, something that will make life meaningful, and so the spirit is responding to that.”

That call, which we don’t even know we are making, reflects “a strong longing for a profound connection, a connection that transcends materialism and possession of things and moves into a tangible cosmic dimension. Most of this longing is unconscious, but for spirits, conscious or unconscious doesn’t make any difference.” They respond to either.

As part of the ritual to merge the mountain and human energy, those who are receiving the “mountain energy” are sent to a mountain area of their choice, where they pick up a stone that calls to them. They bring that stone back for the rest of the ritual and then keep it as a companion; some even carry it around with them. “The presence of the stone does a lot in tuning the perceptive ability of the person,” notes Dr. Somé. “They receive all kinds of information that they can make use of, so it’s like they get some tangible guidance from the other world as to how to live their life.”

When it is the “river energy,” those being called go to the river and, after speaking to the river spirit, find a water stone to bring back for the same kind of ritual as with the mountain spirit.

“People think something extraordinary must be done in an extraordinary situation like this,” he says. That’s not usually the case. Sometimes it is as simple as carrying a stone.

A Sacred Ritual Approach to Mental Illness

One of the gifts a shaman can bring to the Western world is to help people rediscover ritual, which is so sadly lacking. “The abandonment of ritual can be devastating. From the spiritual view, ritual is inevitable and necessary if one is to live,” Dr. Somé writes in Ritual: Power, Healing, and Community. “To say that ritual is needed in the industrialized world is an understatement. We have seen in my own people that it is probably impossible to live a sane life without it.”

Dr. Somé did not feel that the rituals from his traditional village could simply be transferred to the West, so over his years of shamanic work here, he has designed rituals that meet the very different needs of this culture. Although the rituals change according to the individual or the group involved, he finds that there is a need for certain rituals in general.

One of these involves helping people discover that their distress is coming from the fact that they are “called by beings from the other world to cooperate with them in doing healing work.” Ritual allows them to move out of the distress and accept that calling.

Another ritual need relates to initiation. In indigenous cultures all over the world, young people are initiated into adulthood when they reach a certain age. The lack of such initiation in the West is part of the crisis that people are in here, says Dr. Somé. He urges communities to bring together “the creative juices of people who have had this kind of experience, in an attempt to come up with some kind of an alternative ritual that would at least begin to put a dent in this kind of crisis.”

Another ritual that repeatedly speaks to the needs of those coming to him for help entails making a bonfire, and then putting into the bonfire “items that are symbolic of issues carried inside the individuals . . . It might be the issues of anger and frustration against an ancestor who has left a legacy of murder and enslavement or anything, things that the descendant has to live with,” he explains. “If these are approached as things that are blocking the human imagination, the person’s life purpose, and even the person’s view of life as something that can improve, then it makes sense to begin thinking in terms of how to turn that blockage into a roadway that can lead to something more creative and more fulfilling.”

The example of issues with an ancestors touches on rituals designed by Dr. Somé that address a serious dysfunction in Western society and in the process “trigger enlightenment” in participants. These are ancestral rituals, and the dysfunction they are aimed at is the mass turning-of-the-back on ancestors. Some of the spirits trying to come through, as described earlier, may be “ancestors who want to merge with a descendant in an attempt to heal what they weren’t able to do while in their physical body.”

“Unless the relationship between the living and the dead is in balance, chaos ensues,” he says. “The Dagara believe that, if such an imbalance exists, it is the duty of the living to heal their ancestors. If these ancestors are not healed, their sick energy will haunt the souls and psyches of those who are responsible for helping them.” The rituals focus on healing the relationship with our ancestors, both specific issues of an individual ancestor and the larger cultural issues contained in our past. Dr. Somé has seen extraordinary healing occur at these rituals.

Taking a sacred ritual approach to mental illness rather than regarding the person as a pathological case gives the person affected–and indeed the community at large–the opportunity to begin looking at it from that vantage point too, which leads to “a whole plethora of opportunities and ritual initiative that can be very, very beneficial to everyone present,” states. Dr. Somé.

The next time I saw a park ranger after seeing this, I asked her why the carvings and other ancient likenesses of UFOs which are scattered over southwestern USA were never talked about. She said that it was because the Amerindians were a big help with antiquities and they didn’t want the UFO matter discussed.

I don’t know whether all these figures were carved in the same time period.

SHAMANIC EARTHKEEPERS AND THE HOMO LUMINOUS BEINGS … James Gilliland

 

PARASITIC GLOBAL ELITE : War and Genocide is used as COMMERCIAL negative energy food sources

COMMON CORE IS COMMON PURPOSE

Manipulative Extraterrestrials seduce elites into selling out members of their species through a capitalistic ethos.

This ethos promises everlasting power through their providing of highly technologically advanced technologies, which can be used in campaigns of military expansion, and to pursue commercial agenda in a terrestrial marketplace of "buyers and sellers".

The elites become addicted to their newfound "sense of power", and are now open to the psychic manipulation techniques of the "demons".

Arguably, the current path of human self-destruction on Earth has been caused from a context of enforced ignorance about the human identity. Who are we as human beings in this universe; where did we come from; and where should we go, toward a path of mutually fulfilling Human Development?

If humans were actually aware of their true identity in the universe, then, they would not be led into a path of their own self-destruction. On-going cover-ups of the UFO phenomenon and of Extraterrestrials, are apparent attempts among greed-driven elites to enforce existential ignorance. This ignorance, in turn, enables the ability of elites to continue to perpetrate the objective of social control, exploitation, and oppression inclusive of violence, war and genocide.

Gnostics and indigenous people, were able to detect attempts by Manipulative Extraterrestrials to exploit, oppress, and control humanity, because they had made themselves aware of the presence of the operations of Extraterrestrial demonic consciousnesses.

Gnostics, were persecuted by the greed-driven organized Christian Establishment, because of their cosmic spirituality. Similarly, indigenous peoples continue to be persecuted by those Earthbound human elites, who allegedly operate as some scholars impute, as scapegoats on behalf of these reported demonic consciousness.

If human beings expect to be able to correct and recover from this path of self-destruction, they must collectively begin to make themselves aware of the human identity in relationship to the broader universe. Humans having allowed themselves to be controlled by greed and by "blind faith" and allegiance to organized religious, to political, and to other elites, have also allowed themselves to be controlled by Manipulative Extraterrestrials.

Humans who remain ignorant of the human identity in relationship to the UFO phenomenon and to Extraterrestrials, will not have attained a higher consciousness that would enable them to "take back our planet Earth". Humans need to critically awaken their consciousnesses to the demonic forces which aim at enslavement, and instead toward a rejuvenated path of empowerment.

Indigenous peoples and the Gnostics, provide critical insights into human and Extraterrestrial contact on Earth, which modern society that is driven by greed continues to deny, alongside of on-going experiences which people have continued to report. Based upon insights from the Gnostics and indigenous cultures, this denial process has allowed Manipulative Extraterrestrials influences to parasitize Western modern society.

The result is,

A prevailing culture of violence

Wars including genocide

Worsening Global Warming

Other corresponding paths of human self-destructiveness on Earth 

FRACTURING THE MIND

Based upon Gnostic and Indigenous cultural wisdoms, Manipulative Extraterrestrials constitute a "parasitic demonic skin" on human culture, which manifests itself in social, cultural, political, and economic self-destructiveness.


Humans must become aware of this "skin". Humans, having made themselves aware of that "skin", can then seek to remove it, in a process that would enable humans to re-assert their spiritual vitality, associated with a path of peace, wisdom, and empathy.

There are two fundamental insights that Gnostics and indigenous peoples provide in particular, that humans in modern society must make themselves aware of, in order correct themselves from a path of their own self-destruction. Understanding these insights require one to have an open mind to illuminating ancient insights brought together from Gnostics and indigenous peoples, which point out that the universe is both physical and spiritual.

With this in mind, the first insight is that Earth is a microcosm of a cosmic God. Humans can in fact observe and experience God, by choosing a living path of peace, wisdom and empathy with each other, and for the Earth, by having reverence for Nature.

 

"God dwells in the Heavens", is a mass-deception strategy which has been perpetrated by Manipulative Extraterrestrials, through organized religion


"Jesus the Savior" or "Jesus of the Messiah" is also apparently represented by the Gnostics to be a corresponding mass-deception strategy


Specifically, Gnostics identified "Salvationism" à la Jesus, as an attempt to disempower and divert away humans from having social responsibility for each other and instead into an alleged "Son of God" or a Messiah


In so doing, the apparent idea was for humans to be lulled into a stupor to pray to an "impostor God" to be saved.

While this occurred Manipulative Extraterrestrials and their allies could then pillage, plunder and loot the planet, as humans prayed to an "impostor God", created in the image of Manipulative Extraterrestrials..

Capitalism is cultivated in our 
planet Earth by demonic consciousness 
through Earthbound elites.

The God presented in organized religion, is in fact an apparent "impostor God" of "blind faith", that has been responsible for so many atrocities that have been committed on Earth in the name of various organized religions.

The second vital insight which Gnostics and indigenous peoples present is that Earth is surrounded by planets in our solar system with intelligent inorganic life forms which visit Earth in manifested UFOs from time to time. Gnostics specifically suggest that these life forms parasitize humans by feeding on negative energies that these life forms apparently instigate on Earth.


These fostered "negative energies" apparently provide as a 'food source' for these Manipulative inorganic entities. Supposedly, some of these inorganic Manipulative Extraterrestrials are able to take human form, in order to facilitate their objective to use organized religion and other controlling institutional mechanisms to exploit and then destroy humanity.

Furthermore, because these intelligent life forms are inorganic, and don't rely on environmental features like access to clean water, air, and the stability of ecosystems for quality of survival, these life forms can lead humanity with impunity into a path of self-destruction.

Suppressing human critical faculties of reason and analysis

Credo Mutwa, a renowned Zulu elder, had elaborated on African tribal experiences with Manipulative Extraterrestrials, and how African tribal communities detected some Manipulative Extraterrestrials which could shape shift into human form in order to attempt to infiltrate and conquer communities.

The apparent nature of these Manipulative Extraterrestrials is to deceive humanity with impunity, into surrendering the free will that humans have, over their own destiny. Human ignorance about Extraterrestrials only serves those groups which seek to use that ignorance to perpetuate the ability of these Manipulative Extraterrestrials and their reported Earthbound human elite allies to perpetrate a self-serving agenda.


This agenda could include denying the importance of vital planetary issues like Global Free Energy, while maintaining at the same time global war and genocide that is used as negative energy food sources.

CARLOS CASTANEDA : THE FLYERS MIND - Active side of infinity

How the Shaman are able to understand so much about our universe without ever taking a physics class. The values and experiences shared are powerful enough for one to rediscover Life and take a whole new perspective on what is going on around us.


"Ordinarily, events that change our path are impersonal affairs, and yet extremely personal." 

Don Juan Matsus

"I suggest that you gather a collection of the memorable events of your life.

The shamans of ancient Mexico conceived of the collection of memorable events as a bona-fide device to stir caches of energy that exist within the self. They explained these caches as being composed of energy that originates in the body itself and becomes displaced, pushed out of reach by the circumstances of our daily lives. In this sense, the collection of memorable events is the means for redeploying our unused energy."

"The prerequisite for this collection is the genuine and all-consuming act of putting together the sum total of one's emotions and realizations, without sparing anything. The shamans of our lineage were convinced that the collection of memorable events was the vehicle for the emotional and energetic adjustment necessary for venturing, in terms of perception, into the unknown."

My teacher, Don Juan Matsus, said this is guiding me as his apprentice to collect what I considered to be the memorable events of my life.... Don Juan described the total goal of the shamanistic knowledge that he handled as the preparation for facing the definitive journey: the journey that every human being has to take at the end of his life. He said that what modern man referred to vaguely as life after death was, for those shamans, a concrete region filled to capacity with practical affairs of a different order than the practical affairs of daily life, yet bearing a similar functional practicality. Don Juan considered that to collect the memorable in their lives was, for shamans, the preparation for their entrance into that concrete region, which they called the active side of infinity."

In this book written immediately before his death, anthropologist and shaman Carlos Castaneda gives us his most autobiographical and intimately revealing work ever, the fruit of a lifetime of experience and perhaps the most moving volume in his oeuvre.

THE FLYERS MIND-

Carlos Castaneda-Don Juan 

 

There is culture that is true and then there is the ego-culture a parasite on the true but supressed culture that we share. The parasite is greater at present. Love is total attention for what you do. Love defeats the ego. The quality of greater love is highest possible precision and vital general truths. Find the general vital truths and the parasite suffers a major defeat. Accept the general lies, and the "beings" rule us -- the Bible called them demons and the like, or just 'evil spirits'.

It is our fear that they are after. It is what sustains them. They are harmless to us otherwise. Don Juan would control them by dolling out his fear a little at a time. If you are aware of them but do not fear them then they are harmless and in fact will steer clear of you. Remember that love is simply the absence of fear. They can't handle love.

Much of Castaneda & Don Juan is very compatible with many of the teachings of Gnosticism. Inorganic beings = Archons

 

SUPERNATURAL by GRAHAM HANCOCK

''Supernatural''

Due to or manifesting some agency 

above the forces of nature, outside of the 

ordinary operation of cause and effect.

 .

• The evolution of modern humans has taken more than five million years but until less than 50,000 years ago we had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no creative and innovative thinking, and quite possibly no language. Then, a dramatic and electrifying change overtook our ancestors in every part of the globe, and all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves today appeared suddenly, already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. Scientists describe this change as “the greatest riddle in human history”.
• The first art of mankind, in the painted caves and rock-shelters of southwest Europe and South Africa, dates back to the time of the great change. Why do these ancient paintings, tens of thousands of years old, depict beings of a kind that are never found in nature – strange and eerie hybrids with the heads of animals and the bodies of humans?
• In the depths of the Amazon rainforest tribal shamans drink a powerful hallucinogenic brew called Ayahuasca (“the vine of souls”) in order to induce visions. When they return to normal consciousness, after experiencing what they believe is out-of-body travel in the spirit world, they make paintings of the “intelligent beings” they have encountered. Why are many of these beings also depicted as uncanny hybrids with the heads of animals or serpents and the bodies of humans? And why do the shamans say that they have taught them everything they know about how to live in the jungle, and about the medicinal value of rainforest plants?
• Why do Western lab volunteers, placed experimentally under the influence of hallucinogens such as DMT, psilocybin, mescaline and LSD, report visionary encounters with “beings” in the form of animal-human hybrids – beings identical to those the Amazonian shamans claim to meet and to those painted by our ancestors in the prehistoric caves?
• What is the significance of the astonishing similarities between the entities known as “aliens”, ET’s” or “greys” in modern popular culture, the entities known as “fairies”, “elves” and “goblins” in the Middle Ages, and the entities that shamans in surviving tribal cultures know as “ghosts”, “gods” and “spirits”? Why are such figures depicted in prehistoric art as far afield as Africa, Europe, the Americas and Australia?
• Why have eminent scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research, especially those who study the ways that hallucinogens work in the brain, recently begun to question long-established theories about the nature of reality? Why are some now even ready to consider the possibility, long ago embraced by shamans, that, far from being “false perceptions”, what we see in the strange imagery and experiences of hallucinations may be real perceptions of other “dimensions” and the beings inhabiting them?
• Why did Nobel Prize-winner Francis Crick keep concealed until his death the astonishing circumstances under which he first “saw” the double-helix structure of DNA? And why did he become convinced that the DNA molecule did not evolve naturally upon this planet but was sent here in bacteria by an alien civilisation?
• Why does the 97 per cent of DNA that scientists do not understand – so-called “junk DNA” – contain chemical “sequences” arranged in patterns and frequencies that are otherwise only found in the deep coding of all human languages?
• Could the “supernaturals” first depicted in the painted caves and rock shelters – and still accessible to us today in altered states of consciousness – be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be they who first ushered us into the full birthright of our humanity? And could it be that human evolution is not just the “blind”, “meaningless” “natural” process that Darwin identified, but something else, more purposive and intelligent, that we have barely even begun to understand?

These are some of the mysteries at the heart of the quest Hancock unfolds in the pages of his book Supernatural – a quest that takes him on a journey of adventure and detection from the depths of the Amazon rainforest, to the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric Europe, and to ancient painted rock-shelters in the remote mountains of South Africa. This is a book of page-turning story-telling with electrifying descriptions of the daunting journey that Hancock must undertake as he drinks hallucinogens with tribal shamans in the Amazon and self-experiments with DMT, psilocybin and the African visionary drug known as Iboga – “the plant that enables men to see the dead.”

But Supernatural also has an exciting basis in the latest science – much of it so far largely unknown to the general public. Thus, although the book takes readers into unusual and daring areas of enquiry, and investigates extraordinary possibilities about human origins, and about the nature of consciousness and of reality, the argument is underpinned throughout by the discoveries and views of eminent scientists doing cutting-edge research.

How "supernatural" beings interacted with human consciousness from ancient to current times.These entities, who have been known by such names as spirits, fairies and aliens are always "interpenetrating" with our world but normal consciousness is tuned into everyday reality and is not typically aware of them.

Less than fifty thousand years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind. "Hancock's work is a welcome exploration and celebration of the mystery inside our skulls" The Guardian "As gripping as any thriller, but with profound implications for the values and future development of humanity"

TRANSFORMATION .. Merkabah ... Kundalini Ascension

Our lives are changing at the speed of light! We can all feel it in our soul and in our bones.

It's all moving so fast that sometimes it seems like a blur.

But our souls are still the same as they were in the beginning, One with Great Spirit. And as this world accelerates, so does our approach to the Light.

Love is more than an emotion, it is the beam of energy that guides us Home into the arms of Infinity.

And compassion is the nest that protects us from the unknown and our fears.

The Sacred Space in each of our Hearts is the key.

There, beyond the mind and its insistent thoughts that never tire, is a pool of calm clear water that is older than the most distant star.

THE FORGOTTEN HEART ... NEW HUMANITY

The Maya, the Hopi, the Kogi and the Arjuaco all say that they are descendants of the lost continent of Atlantis.

Although 2000 years ago Plato spoke about this continent, the world does not know what to think of it, since no material evidence of its existence has been found.

Enter the ancient continent of Atlantis, because this is where our story starts. All our problems today originate from here. A long time, over 13 thousand years ago the grids of human consciousness started to collapse and humanity began to lose its higher consciousness. This is what the Bible calls "the Fall". Something had to be done otherwise humanity would have sunk to the level of animals. As the axis of the Earth shifted and Atlantis sank into the ocean, the Maya, the Kogi and the Arjuaco set off in their ships to find new lands.

Humanity sank below the level of consciousness it had once achieved. The women and men who had once been more advanced than we are soon became hairy barbarians, ignorant of even the secret of starting a fire. Their Mer-Ka-Ba fields, their light bodies shut down, leaving them defenseless when the magnetic field of the Earth disappeared. The memory of humanity was erased.

This was when the decision was passed in a faraway place and a global project was started here, on Earth, with the purpose of returning humanity to its due level of consciousness. This took 13 thousand years, right until the present time. Life knows that it is not always possible to save a species in this was -- but this tie it was successful.

This is the true story of how certain people who were unaffected by the Fall stood up to the challenge and started to create a geomancy strong enough to restore the grid of human consciousness that had once surrounded the Earth so that humanity can return to the level of consciousness previously achieved.

All life forms on Earth need a grid of consciousness which completely surrounds the Earth. Without these grids there is no consciousness.

When you understand the scientific facts underlying the story, you will be amazed.

And when you understand the result of this 13 thousand-year experiment, your hearts will be filled with joy.

Because what has happened is no less than the birth of a New Humanity.

YOU will see this, because you have been granted to witness it.

ELENIN AND THE TIMELINE OF CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION

GRANDFATHER MARTIN GASHWESEOMA

Traditional Hopi Elder and Guardian of the
Sacred Stone Tablets of the Fire Clan

DREAM MASTERS

ABOVE: Eldest Elder Grandfather Martin Gashweseoma
in front of the Prophecy Rock.

The interpretation of the picture above is:


The large human figure on the left is the Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand represents his instructions to the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical line to the right of the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. The point at which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return.

The "life path" established by the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow path of continuous Life in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white man's scientific achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is the coming of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the cross represents the continuous Path of Life.

The four small human figures on the upper road represent, on one level, the past three worlds and the present; on another level, the figures indicate that some of the Hopi will travel the white man's path, having been seduced by its glamour.

The two circles on the lower Path of Life are the "great shaking of the earth" (World Wars One and Two). The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent the two helpers of Pahana, the True White Brother.

The short line that returns to the straight Path of Life is the last chance for people to turn back to nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates. The small circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great Purification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the Great Spirit returns. And the Path of Life continues forever...

The Hopi shield in the lower right corner symbolizes the Earth and the Four-Corners area where the Hopi have been reserved. The arms of the cross also represent the four directions in which they migrated according to the instructions of the Great Spirit.

The dots represent the four colors of Hopi corn, and the four racial colors of humanity.

Below are illustrations of the Hopi tablets that were given to the ancient ones by Musawa. The story is told as follows:

The Hopis also have in their possession the stone tablets that Masaw gave to them. These are not ordinary stones that could have been made in America, but ivory stones with hieroglyphs cut into them with strange figures... like those carved in Egypt on the temples.

Figures of headless men, swastikas, and snakes. One corner of the Fire Clan Tablet has a corner missing. It was broken off when Masawa gave the stone to the Hopi, and this piece was given to the White Brother as proof that he could return and join in the Ceremonies, finally completing the Cycle making this a paradise on Earth.

HOPI STONE TABLETS

There was the cycle of the mineral, the rock.
There was the cycle of the plant.
And now we are in the cycle of the animals coming to the end of that and beginning the cycle of the human being.
When we get into the cycle of the human being the highest and greatest powers that we have will be released to us.
They will be released from that light or soul that we carry to the mind.
But right now we're coming to the end of the animal cycle and we have investigated ourselves and learned what it is to be like an animal on this earth.

MAYAN ... Perceptions In Concept

In how the world may soon change in astronomical proportions that will effect the world dramatically and all living things on earth.

MAYAN ELDER ... WANDERING WOLF

13TH GENERATION MAYAN HIGH PRIEST SPEAKS TO THE WORLD 


FLOWERS OF THE EARTH


Deep inside the heart of Mother Earth, in sacred Mayan Caves in Guatemala, Wandering Wolf shares some of the prophecy he was taught by his Elders.

Walking through an ancient Mayan city, Tata addresses misconceptions surrounding ancient Mayan ceremonies.

The atmosphere has lost its control. The Maya see it with much sadness that we will see hunger and drought. Plagues will invade the fields and affect the agriculture; new illnesses will appear and will be difficult to cure. The sun rays are getting stronger and stronger as time goes by.

The recommendation to avoid more suffering is this: No more nuclear testing, no more wars, no more mining and other explorations, no more use of chemicals. This is the only way the human race, the animals and the ancient trees could survive and see the new Sun*. If we do not change, few will be the ones to survive and see the arrival of the 6th Sun.

Let’s reconcile with our Creator and our Mother Earth, each one in our own way. For us the Maya will be with our Sacred Fire.

Apocalypse Or New Sun ?

In the ancient cities of the Maya, Grand Elder "Wandering Wolf" talks about 2012, the end of the world, the New Sun and the ancestral knowledge of the Shift of the Ages.

According to the ancient Mayan Calendar we are living in the last days of a great cosmic cycle known as the "Long Count". Traditionally this is labeled as the Death of the 4th period of the Sun and the Birth of the new 5th Sun. The Maya kept accurate and detailed records of Earth's past transitions, and the civilizations that experienced major adjustments in their collective realities. 

It's no coincidence that the majority of the indigenous traditions and world religions mark our phase of existence as one that harbors a radical adjustment in the perception of reality. This transition to a new era has become known as the "Shift of the Ages".

At this time light-workers are unifying, forming alliances and underground networks to assist the mainstream with this great human transition. One emissary of light is Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, a 13th Generation Quiche Mayan High Priest. To the indigenous world he is known as "Wandering Wolf". Don Alejandro, in behalf of the Mayan Council of Indigenous Elders in Guatemala, has commissioned a film to be made to reveal visions, concepts, and subject matter previously concealed from the masses. According to Mayan prophecy, we have entered into a period when it is safe to release this information to the public.

The Ancient Ones left stories, glyphs and prophecies to be considered by each successive generation. "The Shift of the Ages" gives expression to the voice of the ancient ones who have known of this period of time for eons. "Wandering Wolf" and other indigenous elders are now sharing their message with the people of our planet. Hear their words, feel their hearts, and see their visions! Positive seeds are being sown for the future. The "Shift of the Ages" is a heart warming, soul inspiring, and mind blowing experience.

Elenin : The Serpent Of Light Now Uncoils

ELENIN: The Serpent of Light Now Uncoils!

 Introduction:

September and October are being heralded as mega-energy months which could very well reveal the “something really BIG entering” that many of us have been deeply sensing. The internet is buzzing with all sorts of speculations on approaching occurrence including a comet-like energy field that teams of researchers seem to agree on something… it IS approaching the Earth.

Children of the Sun Foundation is viewing all outplay as a divine opportunity to deepen our union with each other and our celestial body aspects. Based upon what we are experiencing within our own bodies, we feel that whatever is approaching is an outer reflection of an immense energy field, already within our own body, as one with our DNA.

This expected Comet Elenin is a visitor from the far reaches of our solar system and we, as a planetary species, won’t be seeing it again for a very long time. Let’s open our hearts wide and welcome the blessings that Elenin is purposed to deliver. It does comes at a most auspicious time of planetary shift.

Summary of Dates:

The Dates of Elenin’s approach are across the board. What is significant is that Elenin is here now. Even if Elenin is an “outer event” does not matter. What matters is that we embrace this comet from the inside as the serpent of light (comet tail) uncoils and our DNA has an opportunity to fire its new strands.  It is always about the Divine Plan unfolding. This could be one of our greatest tests of mastery yet, to remain out of fear and see this for what it truly is, an INNER event. After all, we are the pathcutters.


Considerations of the Mayan Calendar and Prophecy: 


It is recommended that everyone do their own research and contemplations concerning the approaching energy. We feel that the following is worthy of consideration.


Comet Elenin is now approaching the Earth and will make it's closest passing at the very end of October coinciding with the date researchers have been saying is the more real closure of the Mayan Calendar. According to researchers like Ian Xel Lungold and Dr. Carl Johan Calleman, the true Mayan end date is not December 21, 2012, but October 28, 2011. The researchers claim that the Dreamspell or 13 lunar-month calendar upon which original calculations were based does not take into account the leap day of February 29 introduced into the Gregorian calendar whereas the true Mayan calendar does.

“My intuition tells me that Elenin indeed is the Blue Star, which according to the above seems to imply some kind of near impact. To be certain of this we will have to wait and see what color it has. It is however already noteworthy that the ninth and last sign of the Hopi Prophecy corresponds to what is produced by the ninth and highest wave of the Mayan calendar. Maybe this comet is in fact also a sign of the returning Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent, of Aztec/Toltec prophecy.”

Visions from the Children of the Sun Oracles ….


We are riding on the Wings of Comet Elenin as the new Strands Fire!


Elenin enters our inner Solar System with wonderment as the sounds of her breath lure open the firmament of Heaven and Earth with vibrations of a mighty purpose. As a glorious celestial body of light, embodying the codes of Christ Consciousness, she comes to bless all who are in resonance with the unified field of Divine Love.


The moment has arrived and as one body of light we welcome our celestial visitor with gratefulness and joy as we continue to activate the codes of light to help actualize our new DNA structure. All are invited, and as Children of the Sun we have all focused diligently in preparing the body temple to be receptive to the new codes of light, to be conduits and channels of the expanded field of Unity Consciousness.


May our hearts open wide to receive Elenin’s blessings as we honor her light that tones through our hearts the love and wisdom of the “Christos”. Allow her grace to move through you, and as we merge as one, her heavenly body spawns a glorious heat that transcends the void completing the Holiest of Holy’s, “the birth of a New Sun”.


The result can be a spontaneous rejuvenation (the rapture) to all that have a receptive kundalini channel and an open pineal gland. We must be willing to accept the changes and enter the state of Grace.


The Return of Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Fiery Serpent

The Collective Kundalini Rising

With the cosmic waves of Comet Elenin rippling through the planetary field, many are feeling a resonant stirring within… an inner awakening from a long slumber as the Cosmic Serpent that makes it sacred home at the base of our spine responds to the clarion call of the long hailed return of Quetzalcoatl... the Christ Consciousness.

This Cosmic Serpent is none other than our Divine Kundalini. This is the coiled energy that rises through our central channel along the spine, destined for the Pineal Gland where it then bursts forth from the crown chakra, culminating in the profound experience of raptured enlightenment.

As this potent life force energy makes its way through our Group Avatar Body, we arrive at a long anticipated milestone in the evolution of human consciousness - the birth of our androgynous blueprint.With this fiery serpentine energy flowing freely, we begin to witness our unlimited creative potential and the manifestation of miracles in our service to the Earth.

The I AM Avatar - Androgynous Blueprint Emerging

It is with such gratitude that we open our hearts and minds to welcome the unifying cosmic energies from the Great Central Sun emanating from the Comet Elenin. This will continue to greatly support the complete integration of our Yin and Yang, the Shakti and Shiva, the Divine Mother and Divine Father within us all.

Before this integration can take place, it is imperative that we recognize the importance of fully embodying the sacred feminine principle of Divine Love through the full activation of our heart chakra. It is only then that we can work in tandem with the masculine force of Divine Will with grace and fluidity. As our old programming of separation is rebooted into one of absolute unity, we will walk this Earth in our glorious Christed Bodies of Light, releasing all sense of differentiation and ushering in a true marriage of equals.

Accessing the Crystal Palace and the inner “City of Light”

As our Kundalini rises to become one with our pineal gland, the “eye of our soul”, we may experience a profound sense of Divine Remembrance. Through the merging of the masculine and feminine channels, the circuits surrounding our central column, we will experience the two hemispheres of our brain becoming one WHOLE operating system.

The pineal gland is the centre piece around which all of this unification takes place. This is a pine cone shaped endocrine gland that sits between the two hemispheres of the brain, a location which corresponds to what in Taoist practice is known as the "Crystal Palace” due to part of its make up being crystalline. It is the City of Light within giving us access to the holographic universe.

Who and What is Quetzalcoatl?

For those of our beloved Global Family who are unfamiliar with the word and energy of Quetzalcoatl, we would like to take a moment to elaborate on this incredible forcefield awakening within our beings at this time.

Throughout history, ancient civilizations such as the Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians and Sumerians have referred to a "sky-god" who would return from Venus at specific times to again instruct humanity when the hour of liberation was at hand. According to the Mayan calendar, we are NOW in the time of Quetzalcoatl's much anticipated return.

That being said, there has been an expanded awareness that has graced our Group Soul, that has allowed us to perceive this "return" not as an individual being or deity but as an expression of our Divine Self. The energy is the same energy held and radiated by Jesus the Christ, Krishna, the Buddha and the other beloved Avatars who selflessly paved the Path to Liberation.

Quetzalcoatl was also known as "the Feathered Serpent" which many know as the sacred metaphor representing our human DNA and it's foretold activation and uncoiling. As many wayshowers across the globe begin to sense the rising of our collective kundalini, the spectacular revelation that WE are going to BECOME the living incarnation of Quetzalcoatl will begin to circulate through the unified field. With this powerful presence being born within us, we can share in the cosmic joy of co-creating the most incredible vistas of the New Earth.

It is our daily practice of attuning to the Group Soul, building the rhythm of oneness, that will ensure our transformation into the physical expressions of Quetzalcoatl. As a race, we are piggybacking on a planet that is undergoing the very same activation!

This provides us with an unprecedented opportunity to share in the divine energy coursing through the living matrix, supporting the unification of our divine masculine and feminine energies as well as the complete hemispheric synchronization of our left and right brains. From this point of sacred merging, we solidify the reality of Quetzalcoatl in our lighted beings and reserve the privilege of ascending with our beloved Earth Mother.

Is the Quetzalcoatl Energy Activating with Comet Elenin?

There is some rather incredible similarities between the Comet Elenin and the fabled return of Quetzalcoatl.


Quetzalcoatl is composed of two words: Quetzal + Coatl.

Quetzal refers to feathers and the sacred bird that connects earthly power with the heavenly realms. The stunning Quetzal bird, with comet like tail feathering, resides in Central America and is considered one of the most beautiful birds in the Western Hemisphere. The males have extraordinarily long tail feathers and resplendent coloring unlike any other bird. A bird that flies across the sky with a really long tail is a logical choice if the Mayan and Aztecs intended it to represent a comet.

Comets sailing across the night sky often have the appearance of a feather!

In the Aztec language coatl means snake or serpent. Snakes appear to only have a head and a long tail just like a comet. Interestingly, in the Mayan language the word for snake and sky are the same. Thus Kukulkan, the Mayan name for Quetzalcoatl, could be translated as “feathered sky serpent.”

“Coatl” can be seen as a sacred serpent energy whose movements mirror the way that Kundalini energy moves up the spinal column awakening the wheels of light that surround each of the major body centers. When this serpentine energy reaches the crown chakra at the top of the head, we are one with the Universal.  This is a direct representation of our collective kundalini activation!

Together the Quetzal and the Coatl are the creatures that are closest to the earth and heaven as well as representing the sacred balance of female and male.

Through this stream of thought, we are able to draw some rather convincing parallels that the Comet Elenin is bringing in the activating energy of Quetzalcoatl. This benevolent comet is gracing us with the avatar energy that we require to fully anchor the Christ Consciousness on Earth. Let us continue to keep our hearts and minds open as we remember and reclaim our birthright as fully Christed beings.

It is interesting that one of the biggest crop circles ever seen in England looks as if it symbolizes a Cosmic Serpent, DNA Activation and Earth's Kundalini Awakening.
