DREAM OF THE BLUESTAR
As I have travelled this Blessed Earth I have been touched by the Dreams and the Soul of the many lands I have walked, the Hearts of the People I have encountered on these travels. The sanctity of the lands, the wisdom that is held within the stones, the Ancient Temples of the Ones who have gone before, the songlines of pahts of dreaming, and the generosity of the giveaway of the lands. Man of the people I've been blessed to encounter during my joureys have shown a great willingness to look at themselves, to engage the Sacred in their own way, to make the Sacred a part of their homes and hearths, to dance and to pray, not from the mind but from a deeper space of the Dream of their Soul.
I am strongly connected to the Dineh (Navajo) and Mayan teachings. The summer of 1996 I was honoured to be able to bring over with me a Dineh Elder. She is 'Grandmother' Elsie Wilson who is one of the daughters of 'Grandfather' Tom Wilson who 'crossed over' some time ago. She is the one, from my understanding, who has carried one of his bundles since his death, and who carries much of his wisdom and teachings. She has known that she has been dreaming with people from across a body of water, she knows that they are not necessarily within the United States. I am not a carrier at all of Dineh teachings, because I'm not Dineh I don't know the Dinehlanguage, and I would never presume to teach their teachings. What I feel I do carry of theirs out into the world is what has been passed to me. Grandfather has dreamt with me all of my life and the essence of the Beauty Way is what I carry and have been given, though it is not necessarily uniquely Din6, but more global than that.
The part of the Mayan traditions that I draw from are teachings of the 'Temple of the Morningstar', for me it is the Temple of the 'Sacred Covenant, of the bringing of a new dawn; a birthing of the seeds that are sown in this tinw. The Mayan teachings were also a part of the reasons behind the 'Harmonic Convergence' a few years ago, the event that brought people from around the world together to recognise there was an earth shift and a shift in the consciousness of humanity.
If we can embrace those changes, and heat ourselves, it then allows the earth to heal. So we can co-create with the earth for that next stepping stone into our own evolution and the planetary evolution.
For me the Mayans carry the beauty of the drewntime. They are beautiful, in that, we project on to them whatever is unfinished with us. If we are sacrificing, heart-ripping, we see them as having done that. If we see the beauty in ourselves, we see the Mayans as carrying beauty. Maya (in sanskrit) means illusion. The Mayans are the masters of illusion-, they hold this illusion, this web, this weaving up to us and say "Here you are, what do you see? What do you see of us and what we've carried?" And we see what's in ourselves, they are a perfect reflection for us that way. I see this reflected in the teachings of the 'Fifth World' 1. What these teachings mean for me, personally, is that there have been other worlds upon Grandmother
Earth, other collections of two-legged forms, at least. These were perhaps from other star nations, who came to Grandimther Earth to learn here. These other worlds, but did not listen to what the Creator or Grandmother Earth asked of them. In the Hopi and the Mayan way of thinking, the people 'fell off the Web'. They created worlds that became out of control and so something happened. There may have been natural disasters, perhaps polar shifts, but whatever the natural phenomena were, these worlds ended. At these 'ends' there were the seed- carriers who carried a thread into the next 'World of Creation', into the next phase of evolution, the next 'turning of the earth wheel', to try it again. For the Mayans this is the fifth world that we're in. The question is, have we learned the lessons this time, do we walk through the gateway into the new dawn?
There is a term I use which is 'The Earth Alliance'. For nie, the term means that 1, as a human, marry my soul to the soul of Grandniother Earth and all of Her worlds. I do this, so that I walk in one-ness and unity with the sanctity and sacredness of Grandmother Earth's dream. So instead of being on the outside, living apart from that, I'm actually within the Gaia principle. This principle says that the Earth is a dynanuc, co-creative inter- active field; if I am not a part of thal I am not alive. The Earth Alliance is a going back and co-creating, being part of that dynamic inter- active field of Grand-niother Earth; knowing that anything I do to myself, I do to the worlds of Grandmother Earth.
There are many ways that people can bring themselves into alignment with the Earth Alliance. First of all, we must clearly know who we are, and accept the sacredness of ourselves, acknowledge the sanctity of ourselves, keep our homes and hearths, (which are our parts of Grandmother Earth that we have been given in trust), sacred for ourselves, for the Earth, and for our children. We need to quite literally marry, bond to the Earth and to her worlds and know the pulse of her heam know what she feels like, how she's changing, how she's shifting
