MT Shasta On It's Own Terms


Mt Shasta On It's Own Terms   


Stories abound that 14,000 foot Mt. Shasta in California is "the" place to visit if
Mt Shasta
you're on a spiritual quest. Many consider it akin to a sacred pilgrimage to go to the mountain because on the mountain one is sure to experience UFO's, Ascended Masters, Lemurians or Atlanteans, the White Brotherhood, Elders, Crystal Cities, Vortexes and every New Age idea you can imagine. And so, we did our own research about Mt Shasta, called "spiritual leaders" and tour guides living there, then investigated everything we were told. 

Some of what we were told felt prickly; a few were clearly selling tours; and some we talked to were downright incorrect. One person gave us useful information about dry conditions and fire hazards and said, "Go to the Visitor's Center before doing anything else."  That was worthwhile!
Panther Meadows Springs
For decades we've read all the stories about sightings and vortex energy spots and "beings" appearing here and there on the mountain. Those things are still very important to many who visit the area as they clearly want to see or feel that which they've read about. But we left all that behind as it was no longer relevant to what we wanted to experience. We decided to visit the mountain without guides or any preconceived ideas and allow Mt Shasta to speak to us On Its Own Terms. This is that story.
The town is about 7 miles to the trail-head of the mountain which dominates the skyline. The town is very small with not much to show for such a major destination. We used the Best Western as a base for the surrounding area because of its location and convenient restaurant. Especially as most restaurants in town were closed by the time we came down the mountain. 
With the map provided by the  Visitor's Center and a small guide-book created by local shops as a form of advertising we set off on our own expedition.  After passing
Grandmother Ponderosa
a few campsites we walked well-marked trails leading up the mountain. Its year-round snow covered face looms over all approaches like a watchful guardian. 
The climb is demanding but spectacular. At 7,500' the trail opened to an extraordinary meadow filled with brilliantly colored flowers. The border of the meadow was surrounded by tall firs and pines. It was like stepping into an Impressionistic painting and becoming part of the scenery. With no one else around we reverently breathed the serene pure feelings of Panther Meadows in homage to the mountain. Then we heard the sound of running water and soon discovered it was a spring bubbling above and below the meadow. The Native American Wintu tribe believe humans first bubbled into creation at this spring. It was easy to agree with that because the meadow made us feel we'd stumbled upon the water kingdom in the Garden of Eden.

Everything on the mountain felt immense, historical, grand in scope, and waiting to tell a story. As we continued to climb the mountain we entered groves of towering 180' Ponderosa Pines. They grew in circles with the long dead great-grandmother tree stumps standing witness to the newer growth of daughter and grand-daughter trees. Respecting the burnt out shells of the ancient trees, we placed stones found at their base into a circle and entered a meditative communion with the trees. The sweet smells of the trees carried on the winds of the air kingdom as we gently chanted to the glory of what they had been and what they'd left as a legacy.

We continued to climb above the tree line, meeting only one or two people on the trail. Eventually we entered the domain of the lava fields of volcanic stone deposited over centuries of eruptions. Here the mineral kingdom was displayed in its most base condition. Fire and explosions had formed the mountain with the deposits of rocky stones leaving a visible imprint of the power of earth, creation, and destruction. The now cold stones left a crunching wide path across the face of the mountain begging for visitors to reflect on what the fire kingdom had created there above the tree line. We did.
This visit to Mt Shasta was a reverent tribute. So, what did it share  with us during those days on the mountain? As if aware that someone was really listening, it conveyed its 593,000 year old life story. Observant of what it was showing, we
Lava Fields
experienced its extremes in temperatures - warm below and cold above. We felt the heat retained in the enormous boulders we leaned on even as the air cooled us. We drank ice-cold water from its pure springs while butterflies danced around us. While walking its many trails it shared its violent volcanic past while regaling us with its present peaceful beauty. In its groves and meadows and lava fields it told us stories of death and resurrection and death again. It reminded us of the ever changing cycles of nature and that nothing is permanent. And it suggested that in this natural cathedral, all the history of the earth could be found, including the arrival of humans from its watery depths.
We met the mountain on its own terms and were well served in what she revealed: The majesty of life, death, rebirth and continuity!

Mother Earth Speaks!

Mother Earth Speaks!

Mother Earth always gives signs to humans, but this year her voice has been
Iceland Volcano
much louder than normal. It's as though she's finally fed up with the abuses heaped upon her by human ignorance and greed and has decided to get our attention in much more powerful ways. Since January, seventeen major earthquakes measuring at least 7.0 have occurred around the planet - the most devastating in Haiti, Chile, China and Samoa. Worldwide, flooding has taken a toll on every continent and volcanoes are actively erupting in Iceland, Russia, Ecuador, Chile and Guatemala.

Before his death in 1945, psychic and "sleeping prophet" Edgar Cayce predicted significant earthquake activity in Iceland and on Mounts Vesuvius and Pelee. As of this writing, the Icelandic volcano continues to disrupt air travel all across Europe and now the Americas, and to impact the delivery of salmon from Norway to the rest of the world. In a reading in 1934 Cayce said "There will be upheavals in the Arctic
Edgar Cayce
and in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of volcanoes
." Could the melting glaciers be contributing to these "upheavals"?

Cayce continued, "The earth will be broken up in many places - South America will be shaken from its uppermost portion to its end." "If there are greater activities in the volcanoes on Iceland, Vesuvius or Pelee, then the southern coast of California and the areas between Salt Lake and the southern portions of Nevada, may expect within the three months following, inundation by the earthquakes - more so in the Southern than the Northern Hemisphere." Following the eruption in Iceland, there was an earthquake near San Diego, and major flooding not only in Chile and Peru but also in the south central parts of the United States, in Europe, in Australia and in China.

He said that those people being born in this period of time (late 20th into 21st century) are purposely returning to the geographic areas of earth where they

previously lived or migrated to after the destruction of Atlantis. Some went to Peru or "west to what was called Yucatan or Mayan Land." These individuals have returned to incarnation to rectify the effects of their atomic, laser and technological inventions which contributed to the destruction of the world tens of thousands of years ago. They have settled in the same regions of the earth because they intuitively knew where their behavior had previously caused such great devastation and how they could use gentler ways to live in harmony with the earth. It is significant that the Mayan prophecies and messages from the Mayan elders have much greater visibility around the world with 2012 looming.

In another reading, Cayce told an individual that he was in Atlantis in the "second period of disturbance, or 28,000 years ago." He said the individual and his companions "left Atlantis to build up the Peruvian lands because the Atlanteans were
PumaPunku Temple
becoming decadent" as disputes between the "children of the Law of One and the children of Belial (evil) continued
." This reading clearly supports the theories of archaeologists who said the precise creation of the ancient stone walls at Tiwanaku and Aramu Muru were done by ancients who had highly developed technological capabilities. Some archaeologists have called Pumapunku, home of the largest stones of Tiwanaku, the "most important ancient site on earth - even greater than the Great Pyramid of Egypt." Archaeologists who have studied these highly polished diorite monuments date them to around 20,000 BC but said they are probably much older than that.

As modern day governments and politicians bicker over fossil fuel and energy policies, the dialogue often turns to the pros and cons of nuclear energy. The fears are that nuclear energy is not safe or can be used as weapons. The stories in the
Mahabharata Story
Hindu Mahabharata indicate atomic weapons may have been used on earth tens of thousands of years ago. This ancient Hindu "bible" reports that the world was destroyed by a nuclear war in the region between India and Pakistan when a "terrible weapon was launched." Even though Krishna deflects the missile it manages to "turn the sun around. The universe is scorched with heat as elephants and other creatures of the land, scorched by the energy of the weapon, ran in fright, breathing heavily and desirous of protection against that terrible force..." It continues, "A thick gloom suddenly shrouded the host. All points of the compass were enveloped by darkness. Inauspicious winds began to blow." Oppenheimer, who was creator of the atomic bomb and head of the Manhattan Project, believed that nuclear weapons were used in ancient India based on the description given in the Mahabharata.

So what does all this mean to each of us? It means that while there are ancient documents and prophecies that tell the stories of the planets cataclysms, the earth has managed to survive. It also means that the predictions of the ancient Maya and Hopi who looked to the stars to predict greater cosmic changes, or the more recent earth-change predictions of Edgar Cayce cannot be ignored. This is especially notable as the Hopi describe the destruction of the first, second, third and fourth worlds because "the people forgot their Creator."

Yet, while all the prophecies spoke of times of great trial, tribulation and destruction, they also offered signs of hope. These trials offer us an opportunity to do things in a different way and to consider alternatives instead of repeating the mistakes of the

past. Cayce said the earth changes would herald a new consciousness on earth. He said it would be a time when we would learn to "treat thy neighbor as thyself" and to know "all nations are of one blood" and that "those who are to be the greater are to be the servants of all." He said that the "Children of the Law of One" did group meditations, prayer or focused concentration together which promoted deeper knowledge and understanding that resulted in them "entering into a fourth dimensional consciousness - where they could use Universal Forces that were guided and directed" by the angelic realm.

The "Children of the Sun" or "Children of the Law of One" who he said would return to rectify the sins of the past do so now as "servants of all." When dire events happen on the planet, there is an immediate response from them. The ongoing Gulf
Ceremony Gulf Oil Spill
Oil spill is a perfect example of this. Responses to the initial reports of the spill focused on blame, fear, and greed. As the oil continued to flow from the bottom of the ocean its real impact slowly became more evident. There was a growing awareness that the entire food chain in the gulf could be affected along with the livelihoods of fishermen and the tourist industry.

With hurricane season approaching and the potential of the oil moving into the Gulfstream, it was clear this was not just a Gulf problem, but one in which the entire world could be affected. While engineers, technicians, government officials and volunteers sprang into action to stem the oil and protect the wildlife, so too did those who "use and guide Universal Forces of the fourth dimensional consciousness."

Situations like this unfold continuously around the world under the watchful eyes of a coalition of "mindfulness organizations." In their vigilance, they see the potential
Patricia - Crystal Bowls
for bringing people together to solve the problems through heart-centered activities. The Global Consciousness Initiative asked its worldwide membership to go into their heart centers and to visualize the Gulf region, the land and the sea, as vibrant and thriving and to feel as if the highest and best outcome for all had already taken place.

In synchronous time, when that directive was set in place by GCI, local leaders of the spiritual community in southwestern Florida were already in action. The community immediately responded to a call to meet on the famous white crystal sands of Siesta Key Beach. In less than thirty-six hours and with minimal notification, fifty people joined the sunset gathering. Many who felt paralyzed with anxiety over the oil spill, or fearful of what would happen to the Gulf, responded quickly to being in service.

With the tones of the crown chakra and third eye chakra crystal bowls as backdrop, Rose Lettiere led a guided meditation to visualize and anchor an ethereal barrier reef around the spewing oil. With the group joining in heart coherence with the Global Consciousness members, the barrier reef was constructed from fourth dimensional consciousness. Through the grace of the angelic realms and the focused intentions of the group, it was asked that the ethereal reef remain in place until the physical barrier is safely erected.

As we witness the prophecies unfolding, we know there are always greater solutions that can be brought forward by the "Children of the Sun." We no longer have to remain in fear or anguish. We can proactively move to the heart center and create the solutions we wish to see. Especially as each of us must own the blame as well as create the solutions for what happens on the planet. And so we did in southwest Florida and around the world.

Balinese Ceremony
On the other side of the earth a Balinese group responded to the Gulf oil spill in tandem with us. A man named Nuadi came forward. Nuadi has few earthly possessions, has never gone more than five kilometers from his home and lives a life in service to others. He offered this prayerful benediction for all of humanity. His simple wisdom is shared here with all who might reflect on their own role in earth's disasters.




We are here to learn how to live.
When things we do not like are in our life
We can't get angry or push them away.
We have to bring them into us.

As Nuadi said the last line of his prayer, he reached out and wrapped his arms around the bad thing pulling it into his heart with a giant smile.

May we all wrap our arms around the bad things and smile from the heart!
