Eagle's vision: a shamanic journey

What is the eagle's vision? what does the eagle stand for? Seems to fit right in, the eagle, with the shaman. Is it that we all know that eagle's have the best sight? So, if a shaman has an eagle's vision, what does it mean?

Drawing by Keith Powell

We all have visions, dreams, daydreams. Those of us who dedicate our lives to seeking, following and understanding these visions, are called shamans. And we use the eagle for this purpose, invoking the great sight of the eagle, flying as high as the eagle. This sacred animal also represents the highest dream, the highest vision, the highest purpose. A shaman with an eagle vision, an eagle protector, what is his vision?

First we must speak about  nagualism, a toltec variant of shamanism, where the eagle is the representation of all of creation. A creation that covers all realms of perception, all dimensions. Under this vision, the highest purpose of a human being, rather, the only purpose, the only real thing he may accomplish in this life, is to free himself from the physical realm and be able to fly freely throughout the rest of the non-physical universe. This is the same thing that the Buddhists know as nirvana, freeing oneself from the cycles of reincarnation.  The difference from the monks is that toltec naguals, or shamans, have continuously achieved this freedom.

This vision hasn't been like this for the  thousands of years that naguals have existed. Toltec Naguals and shamans of equal line of accomplishment have grown into what now is becoming to be seen as a "masculine" vision. This is because times are now changing, a more feminine energy is beginning to retake balance to the earth. The eagle's vision is joining with a more forgotten condor's vision, a vision that is essentially more feminine and that is now beginning to retake it's place.

Masculine and feminine visions, eagle's and condor's, sky and earth. What are the differences. Let's state them.

Masculine, sky vision.

Masculine, eagle, sky vision is this great spiritual accomplishment of nirvana. We say spiritual, but naguals where able to take it into a very real physical reality, transforming their bodies into beings of pure light and leaving this physical realm for thousands of years of freedom travel through the universe, the great eagle, only to be eventually devoured by the eagle, returning to oneness with the whole.  What happened with the rest of the people, with the earth, was not a greater concern. Masculine sky energy looks up, into the sky, seeking to go beyond, to return to the origin. This vision sees beyond time and space. What may be happening right now, today, to a person, to a body, was not a greater concern. The eagle universe is seen as of a predatory nature, survival of the fittest. Shamans under this eagle masculine energy embody also a feminine side, but this feminine side is not as developed as the masculine. Nagual shamans are from the north, where this eagle vision was created.

Feminine, earth vision.

So you have the feminine vision, called if you want condor's vision, although the true feminine power heart is in the Amazon, not quite the Andes. Being that the feminine vision is not predatory, is on the contrary, community-oriented, it has received less attention, since it doesn't try to stand out above the rest. As a women, the feminine vision embodies the masculine side. It's perfectly aware of the sky and its importance. The feminine is like the body, and the masculine like the head. The body is always aware of the head, through the head. On the other hand the head, at times, may forget it is attached to the body, or may think it's above the body, more important than it, and may try to "lead the way". It most cases it should, but there are occasions where following your head may lead into sickening the body. That is what has happened now to the earth.

The eagle shamans of the north have developed great power. They have opened the realms and allowed inorganic, dark beings to enter our mother earth in exchange for power and wisdom. This is humanity's greatest mistake, it is what has led us into the era of darkness we are trying to come out of today. Hunger, war, destruction, extinction,  that is all a result of the inorganic beings taking over people, thanks to the first shamans that opened the realms.

A lot of time has passed since, and modern naguals are well aware of this and work to correct this mistake. The have discovered that beyond power, exists freedom, and to achieve freedom, one must free himself from power. The head has learned the lesson, and is actively guiding us in a different way now. But the body has suffered the consequences, we all have, we all do.

The feminine vision always knew that the path of power was a wrong path. Contrary to the masculine eagle, that believes in arriving to its goal as fast as possible, the feminine believes in the way of the turtle, where the speed doesn't matter as long as you get there. The masculine used to see this as a weakness, and that's why it hurled into gaining power and wisdom, knowledge that is now using to repair the damage. The masculine as I said has learned, and now admires the way of the turtle, now a days, the feminine side is gaining her place again.

So the new eagle's vision, is the one that includes its feminine side. Having this in scope, achieving ultimate freedom is not enough accomplishment in this life. We must also correct what is wrong in the world, the physical things, the social things. We must be compassionate of others, help others, include our own transcendance in a context where the transcendance of the rest of the world is also possible. For years, and to this date, to powerful shamans, this may seem as a weakness, for they believe in the predatory nature of the universe. What they may ignore, is the power of the human effect in the universe, and how the universe can be transformed into a human, communitarian nature, replacing the less evolved predatory nature. It's basically the difference between seeing, and making. We can see the universe is predatory, but we can make it more human.

No shaman or spiritual leader has been able to turn this earth into a world of peace and balance.

Wouldn't we want this? Isn't it time?

It is time, that this becomes a reality, That this world finds balance again. This is the eagle's vision that has come to me, in the north, in the sky. I've flown high, I've sought to the highest realm, to the highest beings, and that is the answer they have given me. That is the vision they have granted me. It's not about my own transcendance, about my own path of freedom, that comes along. What I must put my attention to is to restore the balance, to become a rainbow warrior.

Rainbow Warriors read the prophecy

They must use the nagual term "warrior". Only this path may grant them the strength and wisdom to accomplish the great feat. Being ecological, is good, but not enough. Like I say, they must seek the highest strength and wisdom to accomplish this feat. They must turn into the way of the spirit, of nagualism, of shamanism, that is the path that will lead them to success. The rainbow warriors prophecy is a native american spiritual path. The name may be borrowed to take on ecological actions and awareness, but to get to the end of the path, one must become the path, one must become a native, incarnate the native's way, the native's vision.

On the other hand, being a shaman, offering workshops, writing books, blogs, helping others find their own freedom, is not enough for a rainbow warrior. If doing all of this means that you plan on living a occidental, modern lifestyle, a lifestyle that depends on fossil fuels, of interacting with the corrupt, death producing system, then that path is still an ancient, masculine-sided path. If the path a shaman is following, doesn't lead him to a renewed lifestyle in nature, where his sustenance doesn't require hurting the environment, then he or she is not embodying the call of the condor, the arrival of the new era, the spirit's call for the rainbow warriors.

This text has a greater purpose. I don't know how much my path will grant me fame and recognition. That is some way could be helpful, because I can reach out to others and share this vision. And the vision is not only masculine, is not only a vision, a dream. I am making this dream possible, for others to join. I am creating a ecovillage, a place to create a new education system, a new spiritual-philosophical-scientifical system. I have lot's of help from the spirit, who has let me know that I can lead the way, humbly, authentically, successfully. The spirit has given me the place. Now I must find the other fellow rainbow warriors. This text is an invocation into the different realms, dimensions  It speaks of the truth, and may work in mysterious ways. It has an intention, a purpose, a spirit. May this spirit go far, and reach the hearts, and allow the eagle's vision to become a reality.

I make you the invitation to join the rainbow tribe. Be it a external supporter, visitor, and beneficiary or be it a member of the circle of rainbow warriors, established in our ecovillage in the bolivian amazon. I invite you into the new shamanic journey.

Seventh Prophecy

"With the coming together of Nations around the world in support of the Idle No More movement, I am reminded of the Prophecy of the Seven Fires. The 1st to the 6th Fire prophecies have already been fulfilled and we are currently in the 7th. Here's an excerpt describing the 7th Fire:"
- Thatehwentsyawakon Dave Barberstock of the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Ontario

"The Seventh Prophet was younger than the others who had come and there was a glowing light from his eyes. He said that there would come a time when the waters had been so poisoned that the animals and plants that lived there would fall sick and begin to die. Much of the forests and prairies would be gone so the air would begin to lose the power of life. The way of the mind brought to the red, black, and yellow nation by the white nation would bring danger to the whole earth.

In this time there will be a new people who will emerge from the clouds of illusion. They will retrace their steps to find the treasures that had been left by the trail. The stories that had been lost will be returned to them. They will remember the Original Instructions and find strength in the way of the circle. Their search will take them to the Elders and the new people will ask for guidance. But many of the Elders will have walked the Path of the Souls to the Star Web. Many Elders will have forgotten their wisdom and they will not be able to help. Some of the Elders will be silent because no one has asked them for their wisdom.

If the New People will find trust in the way of all things, in the circle, they will no longer need the selfish voice of the ego and they can begin to trust their inner voice. Wisdom will be once again be found in dreams of the night and of the day. The sacred fire will once again be lit.

The Light-skinned People will be given a choice between two paths. If they choose the right path the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth Fire and final fire of brotherhood and sisterhood. If they choose the wrong path, remaining on the path of the mind, then the destruction they brought with them will come back to destroy them. The people of the earth will experience much suffering and death." 

Shamanic Healing with the legendary Kallawaya Medicine Men of the Andes

Town of Curva, With sacred Akamani peak of the Apolobamba Mountian Range in the back

The Kallawaya (also known as Callahuaya, Kolyawaya, Qolla Huayu) is a culture native from the towns of Curva, Chajaya, Khanlaya, Huata Huata, Inka and Chari, in the surroundings of the town of Charazani, in the Bautista Saavedra province of the La Paz Department, Bolivia.  This natural setting is one of the most spectacular, unexplored and unexploited natural regions that remain on the planet. The Kallawayas are the guardians of a practically undisturbed biological corridor that runs all the way from Titicaca lake, up the glaciated peaks and lakes of the Apolobamba Mountains and down the steep ravines into the most remote mountain and flood plain rainforests of the Madidi National Park.

Kallawaya shaman 

Immemorially, the Kallawaya culture has centered itself in the study and practice of traditional, itinerant medicine, and its healers travel through the Inca roads in search of medicinal plants and taking their healing practices to those who need it in the farthest reaches of the continent. They have been known to travel on foot as far as southern Argentina and as far north as Colombia. It is known that the Inca royalty had Kallawaya healers in Cuzco to attend their health issues, and they became most famous when, in  the 1900’s, were taken to the Panama canal to help treat the Malaria pandemic for which only they were able to treat and successfully heal using only plant remedies. The UNESCO declared the Kallawaya culture as a masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Patrimony of Humanity in 2003.

Theories about the origins of the Kallawaya culture point out to similarities with the Mollo Empire that originated on the steep valleys of the central Andes. Kallawayas speak Quechua, but their cultural traits and practices are more of similarity to the nearby Aymara. Spanish is their second language and some have Aymara as a third. Those that are initiated into the healing and shamanic practices are taught the sacred and secret Kalliwayai language that is only used in prayers and ceremonies. The few linguists that have been able to study this language state that it has a Quechua grammatical base, but that it integrates words of Pukina, a lost language that is thought to have been spoken in Tiwanaku (the most remarkable civilization that flourished in the central Andes according to official anthropology from 1100 B.C. to 900 A.D).

Kallawaya Ritual offering

Kallawaya medicine shares different practices, viewpoints, beliefs and knowledge marked within a sanitary system that includes plants, animals, minerals, amulets, based on ceremonies, spiritual rituals, hand-applied therapies applied in singular fashion and/or a combination of all of these to help the wellbeing of their patients. Their diagnose methods are as varied as the types of therapies they apply, which  can go from physical examination of the patient, to magical and ritual divination techniques used to diagnose not only the ailment, but its source. The Kallawayas drew attention to themselves due to their extensive pharmacopeia, believed to be the most complete of all indigenous nations. But Kallawaya healing goes far beyond from herbal remedies and therapies used to treat the physical body. This is where the badly used term “shaman” can be applied to these medicine men. Not only are they well-formed doctors and physical therapists, but have an extensive use of shamanic ritual, psychological, and ceremonial healing. Their role of healers and shamans is crowned by their social function as “priests” of the Andean world. Different ceremonies that have nothing to do with healing are carried out by the Kallawayas, like weddings, baptisms and funerals.

A Kallawaya shaman can be hired to be the spiritual spokesperson if you desire to communicate with the spiritual realms of the Andean world. Their fluid use of their sacred Kalliwayai language is used in constant prayer along with an elaborate symbolic ritual employment of amulets as a dialog to speak to the sacred power places and spirits, calling their attention to help a patient in need, or a young fellow looking for love. Those skeptics that have studied this extensive shamanic ritual practice have come to the conclusion that independently of the magical and spiritual effect these rituals may have, if any, they have a profound psychological therapeutic use, and this by itself is enough to make this practices effective and recommendable.

Modern Kallawaya doing a coca leaf reading

Modern day Kallawayas continue to exist to this day without mayor changes in their ways and lifestyle from the days of the Incas. Native to Bolivia, it is in this privileged country where you may find a Kallawaya healer permanently stationed in every mayor city. La Paz is a good example, where up to five Kallawayas have their private consulting room to attend people indifferent of their origin. The price of a consultation which can include divination with the use of coca leafs or cards (depending on the day) will cost only around 3 American dollars, a price accessible to even the poorest people. In case a herbal therapy or ritual is needed, then the price will be set according to the amount of items used to carry it out. In the most complex cases, it will be necessary to travel to the Kallawaya’s village where he will have easier access to the items and energies necessary to carry out the healing therapy or ceremony.

Although Kallawaya medicine men normally attend mostly indigenous people who believe and respect all aspects of the Kallawaya practice, these medicine men are open to heal and treat people regardless of their origin or spiritual belief. The main reason why travelers to Bolivia and foreigners don’t take advantage of this unique healing opportunity is because they don’t know of its existence, and because of the language and cultural barriers. Having spoken to a Kallawaya medicine man, we have agreed to begin helping build the necessary bridge to be able to offer people from all over the world the opportunity to heal all imaginable ailments with the Kallawaya wisdom. In retribution, the Kallawayas can expand their client list which each day becomes shorter, and thus their existence becomes endangered due to the every expanding and self-imposing western medical practices and pharmaceutical remedies.  In addition, the Kallawaya culture’s magical and medicinal practice is strengthened by taking healing success stories to other countries and thus helping their heritage and cultural recognition gain respect amongst different people and cultures. Native Journey is the intercultural translator and national operator that is beginning to build these cultural bridges, offering you the opportunity to travel to Bolivia and experience and understand Kallawaya healing practices regardless of you speaking Spanish or having previous knowledge of the Andean culture or any type of shamanic exercise.

How I began my path of initiation

This is the story of my initiation. It is hard to think how something you don’t know exists, can become something you seek to learn and experience. Irrefutable proof of the non-existent, of the ignored, of the occult, presents itself when knowledge, the spirit, a living being, comes to you and unravels your first out of this world, miraculous experiences that are made to prove to you the existence of “it”. That’s when “it” becomes the only real thing you can seek in life.

That is how I felt. That is how strongly my first shamanic experiences were so they could prove me what my true destiny was. Let me tell you friends, how it is that in my life began, presented itself, the sacred spirit. How it is that my ordinary life since changed, and the sacred path begun.

When I was eleven years old my mom and I decided to leave Mexico City for better opportunities in the United States. My mother had re-established an old relationship and married with an ex-boyfriend that was now living in Eugene, Oregon. I set out on this adventure to find not what I was expecting.

Four years went by trying to adapt to a new culture and society that to me was never very welcoming. On the other hand my mother felt much more tranquil with the more polished social system available in the U.S.  But we found no tranquility.  A painful story of verbal aggression, treason and cheating developed in the small family. After a few years I became unable to deal with such painful situation at home and with the system that to me was so unfriendly. Forcedly in the United States, a teenager has to fit in within one of the different “stereotype” groups.  As a Latino I developed relationships and adopted the behaviour common amongst the “black and Latino group” at school.  As it is predictable y began skipping school, drinking socially and smoking marijuana. I had no notion that the system creates these situations intentionally to catch people into different ways of dependence. What was different for me is that the experience resulted as a light that led me to escape the prison.

I had to live the experience of escaping first. A friend that lived the same unbearable aggressive experience with his step father and I elaborated an almost perfect escape plan with Mexico City as the final destination. We were able to unnoticeably leave our houses and reach the Mexican border when they finally caught us and stopped our plans. My friend returned to his house; my plan to escape the system as I tried to failed, but at least I was able to return to Mexico City and live there with my  ex-step father.

The system in Mexico turned out to be more bearable, but living with my other step father wasn’t quite what I wanted.. There I met friends from whom I  heard that if you were to drink a bottle of cough syrup, you get very high. As a normal system educated boy I followed my curiosity and tried this powerful hallucinogen a couple times. These experiences though may seem negative, had their positive effects where I began to develop a feeling that something wasn’t quite right in the world.  I wouldn't learn anything serious until I drank the cough syrup for the third time.

I had returned to the US by then, hopelessly trying to finish school. My step father there had been coincidentally “fond” of the cough syrup and would drink small gulps a few times a day. Having realized that he had a more unhealthy behavior towards the syrup (being addicted to it, drinking it every day) I thought why not try it one more time. But this time everything was different and my life changed. The syrup my step father used had twice the psychoactive compound concentration the other ones I drank before had. I overdosed and very quickly became very ill.

The illness turned into pain, and the pain knocked me down on the ground. I couldn't stand up. I continued crawling on the ground trying to reach the phone to call 911, but was unable to do it. I felt I was going to die and my last resource was to almost involuntarily, pray.

-Somebody please help me- I formulated within my deepest self.

That same instant that in my mind and most especially in my heart I formulated that thought, I felt immediate relief. I opened my eyes and felt baffled by the sudden response to my prayer: I no longer felt ill. I could still feel the presence of the hallucinogenic substance in my bloodstream, but I no longer felt sick and dying. I felt as if someone had laid a healing hand on my stomach and soothed me. I rose and looked at where I had the warm sensation, and there were three tiny, coloured feathers, one blue, one yellow, one red.

I looked up trying to imagine how a bird could have dropped the feathers on me, but I was inside the house, difficult thing for this to happen. I immediately thought of the coloured feather dusters that are very common in Mexico. I searched the house looking for one but there were none. Still doubting the authenticity of the feathers I put them in a film container and would check them every day for the following months.

I was sixteen years old when this experience unleashed a never ending journey of discovery and self-transformation that fifteen years later is still happening as I write this.  It was those feathers that began the quest for answers to the mystery of that miraculous experience.

A place called the Saturday market became my new school. Alternative people of all kinds offer their goods like organic produce, crafts, alternative healing, and other curiosities in this interesting, light-hearted, alternative street market. I was there every week, looking for people with answers and was able to quickly find them. My newborn sense of seeing guided me to people that had some higher knowledge and state of perception.  One of them was a weird looking man that would hang around the market, in the area where skaters would recreate and different types of youngsters would gather.  In between the punkish, gangish bunch I noticed him and felt the call to speak to him. He was a Native American of the Lakota tribe.

Not your ideal native teacher, this young but quickly aging man was a dedicated drunk. In spite of drinking, wearing dark clothes, behaving and hanging out with “bad guys”, this man  kept some of his ancestor’s wisdom and spirit within him and I noticed it. In my newly developed state of perception and spiritual openness, I approached him. My presence quickly took him out of his common state of being into a more sensitive and spiritually connected one. He looked at my soul through my eyes and heard what I had to say. I told him my story and then he said:

-The spirit listens when the soul knows how to ask-

His words were sacred to me. A man I just met understood perfectly what had happened to me, and I even felt he knew who I was. He quickly reassured that. He grabbed my arm and took me to who seemed like his best friend: a tall, thin, aged man that sat on the edge of a short wall. Wearing a dark leather suit with white, long, straight hair; dark glasses and an extremely pale white skin color, this man was quite a sight.

-Show him- said my new teacher

Calmly this Indian looking white man opened his leather jacket to reveal a precious silver jewel that hanged from his neck. I approached to see what I thought was myself: a white silver wolf with emerald eyes. I saw myself as the wolf and felt like these men knew the same. Next thing my native friend instructs me:

-now you have seen. I must teach you how to heal- he paused and continued -go to the Native American store and buy either one or two bundles of sage, or sweet grass braids, whatever you choose. You must also buy a red string, and bring this back to me-

I did as he told. I went to the nearby Native American products store and bought two braids of the greenest sweet grass I saw and a red and black shoelace, and brought them back to where he was.

-You have passed the test- he then said once I returned. –You have chosen two not one, and sweet grass instead of sage. If you’d have chosen otherwise, it would mean I must not teach you, but you have passed; now I will teach you-

He showed me how a sacred bundle must be made, tying one of the braids in a circle to the thick end of the other braid with the shoe lace. Then he showed me how to use it, holding it and burning it to the four directions. One I learned he instructed:

-You must now go to the top of that mountain and do what I just taught you. You must look for two women to help you and you must heal this city-. Straight away I hopped on a bus and went to spencer’s butte park, a place with trails to the highest summit next to town.

I spent more than an hour in the parking lot, talking to women trying to invite them to accompany me to the summit for a ceremony, but everyone refused. It was getting late and most people where leaving, so I made the difficult decision to continue by myself. To save time I climbed directly to the summit, through the forest, rather than taking the more time consuming trails.

As I arrived to the summit, a large, rounded rock outcropping, so did two women, each coming from a different side of the mountain and arriving to the summit the three of us at the exactly the same time. Nobody said anything, we three looked at each other calmly and then I said:

-You know what we are here to do- both girls agreed.

We three carried on with a brief, powerful, tranquil and silent ceremony, burning sweet grass to the four directions. I continued cleansing each of the girls and allowing them to cleanse me. We hiked back so peacefully that I remember it as if we had suddenly appeared back in the parking lot. The girls had a car and gave me a ride back to town. As soon as I got out of the car a black homeless women saw me, shouted –It’s you- and then ran to me.

 –Give me what you have- she said as I pulled out my sweet grass and cleansed her. She gave me a hug and continued on. Seconds later another person felt immediately attracted to what I had to offer and approached me, and then another and so on. My life would never be the same after that day when I began healing and when I plunged into the sea of wisdom inherited by the natives of this continent. That day I learned the meaning of the red lace: it is the red path, the path of the people of this continent called today by its invaders North and South America, preferably to be called Abya Yala.

It is this path that I have followed, exponentially richer than the imposed “path of modern people”. My life before that moment was a terrible, invisible prison with no known escape. After that event, a light showed me the way to freedom.  Freedom didn’t come easy, and it still hasn’t completely arrived; the first years where tangled in an intense magic incomparable to the more experienced, softer magic I lived later on. This was certainly a time that shines brighter than any other time since it was the moment when I took the firm decision to permanently remove evil that had been subconsciously planted in my mind and body. 

My first days were an exciting time. A time when I was to be convinced of the existence of another reality. Miracles became the everyday thing, and “warrior” became the best word I could think of to describe what I did. I met with many healers, sorcerers, wise men, women and shamans that taught me and guided me along with my newly learned capability to listen to the sacred spirit. I began to receive constant teachings from the spirit manifested in the elements of nature.

My journey has continued since through many places in Mexico, Guatemala, Chile and Bolivia, living at times with different indigenous nations and always following the sacred spirit and the red path. With ups and downs, I have made more than one attempt to leave this path. Following the path of shamanic, and/or spiritual enlightenment is true work; it’s easier to choose a modern zombie life that everyone thinks they’re enjoying. The attempts never worked. For what may seem like easy happiness is only a vague attempt to not feel the pain of an empty death-producing life.  Learning has one price: learning.  I have received missions, and I must accomplish these missions as a warrior.

Times have changed when this type of learning was a privilege. Now it becomes an obligation. Today we arrive to a point in time when everyone must choose this path, since it’s the only path. It is the path of the heart, of mother earth and father sky. My experience is just a mirror of the awakening that must proceed in every person, and is proceeding with the universe as a whole. We are one with the universe and with mother earth and whatever happens to you, to me and to the earth, will happen to everyone. We must choose if we desire to continue on the path of life or stay in the stage of death.

The spiritual truth revealed

Spiritual Truth Revealed

Mother of God

 Hermaphrodite God separated; he made itself man and women. Then they decided to re-unite. After that, they decided to recreate themselves in a unit, made just like them, that was subject to free will, to a physical reality, to a third dimension. So he made man and women to this semblance and put them on the earth. But first they created the earth, and the earth was, the mother of god. Humans are, the sustenance of god, because he recreated himself in us and we are the ones that feed the experience of being god. Earth is our mother, the one that allowed us to be created, and us being god, the earth is the mother of god.

Earth’s true history has been hidden, but the earth is the mother of god, thanks to her, god has the experience he now has. Thanks to her god has been able to experience himself in a body, in a human, and searching for the control over the earth has been the reason of many cosmic wars that have occurred and still occur today. The war is between human spherical, balanced light, based on love; and the luminous, elongated, mechanical energy, based on the ambush of power. Part of the strategy of these beings of power is to keep humanity far from the truth, so they remain asleep, unconscious about their origins, their purpose, and their place in the universe and so they can be easily dominated by the beings of power and so the earth may also be under their domain.

The truth that the earth is the mother of god is one of the most buried truths and so is the truth that humans are the sustenance of god.

The great revelation, the great gift.

We are in an era of awakening and changes. Many people are becoming conscious and discovering so many truths that have been hidden from them. We are coming to the end of the great cosmic war, where the beings of power will return to their place and allow evolution to continue. But the last battles must yet be fought and we are facing the final battle: the personal struggle for spiritual evolution. Many people are receiving little pieces of information and are discovering the truth. Nonetheless, the dark beings are very powerful and have managed to infiltrate into this truth and this awakening.  Personal capacity to discern is limited and messages are confused. Many of the things people believe are people or messages of light are really the dark beings that are passing as light beings and giving messages that confuse people. The great revelation, the great gift, is the one that will allow you to discern between the dark beings passing as light beings and the true light beings and their messages. The message of light given by the dark beings is as follows: Everything is ok. Everything will change. You are doing much to listen and awaken. Your consciousness is awakening and that means a lot, that’s doing already a lot. We are thankful; soon, everything will get better.

All of this is true. The lie comes in the silence after the message. The person who listens to this message rests thankful, satisfied, and full of hope. But they have been told to ignore their responsibility, their earthly responsibility, their karmic reality. Salvation according to this message resides in faith, not in action.  This is the message that the true beings of light want to transmit to you, that change is in your hands, it is in you, you are the ones that have the power of god to change reality, and reality will not change by itself until you make it change. Darkness will not be beat by an act of god. You are the god that must act and beat darkness and injustice in this world.  You are the ones that must work physically to radically change your lifestyles and work spiritually to overcome your egos, your fallacies; you must join and seek planetary change, and with it definite spiritual awakening. This spiritual work is reflected in physical reality, on the earth, and is quite simple: you have to detach from material dependence, you have to leave your current lifestyle and seek a more spiritual one, one that reflects in your everyday chores, In the detachment of commodity, of an unsustainable globalized life, a detachment from the system in all of its manifestations.

The dynamics of karma on the earth.

We live surrounded by a masculine, celestial reality where the feminine, earthly reality is little considered. The feminine earthly reality is quite simple and can be resumed in this phrase: God forgives but the earth doesn’t.  It’s a scientific and mathematical reality.  It’s the reality of earth karma, where it is not the intention that counts, but the facts. Mistakes committed must be paid for, even if forgiveness has been sought and you have learned from your mistake. Learning from your mistake will serve so that you don’t make it twice. It’s a dynamic of action-reaction, a mathematical reality as I said, that can be scientifically studied, measured and understood.  

Physical awakening.

So besides waking up spiritually, we should awaken physically. This means that we should stop making the same mistakes. We should stop producing and accumulating karma. This means that a wholesome awakening does not come until the person is not only free from past karma, but from creating karma in the present. To stop producing karma in the present means to stop damaging others, to stop damaging our bodies and to stop damaging the earth. Using fossil fuels, consuming industrialized products, participating in money exchange, all of this feeds the monster and the evil that is destroying you and the earth, and participating in it creates karma. Full spiritual and physical awakening will not be complete until the individual has detached completely from the karma producing modern system and lifestyle. It is after this that we may achieve the real “ascension” that has been promised to us but obscurely not told how to achieve it.

The best we can do

To understand this message and what it means is a great step. This message does not come from me, it’s out there, you only have to listen to it. The best we can do is to focus our energy, our resources and our actions to seeking the liberation of physical karma which means seeing in which way you can free yourself from the system. But not everyone will be able to achieve that. Not everyone can quit their plans, their cities, their expectations, their vices. We now face a wonderful opportunity to straighten our actions, an opportunity to change, to leave addictions, to leave the cities. But there will be a moment when the earth will charge us her bill. The reaction of the action will come, when everyone will have to pay for their karma, and it will not be the same if you choose now than if you wait for later.  The best I can do now is to send this message, and then to take action, to seek for a better place where I can live and invite my family, friends and anyone who wishes to awaken physically. This message and this action I take comes from my consciousness, which is in pain seeing all the people who believe they have a future in the city, and that cities have a future, and that the system has a future. And that if they believe that change is possible, they are waiting for it to come and be obligated to act, without the capacity to react now based on the consciousness that is already so evident.

 The stolen Paradise

There is a place where there is no injustice, there is no war, and there is no chronic illness. There is a place where kids are happy, families are united, life is balanced with nature; where water, air and food is clean, where  there are no lies, there is no cheating, no deception; where the soul, the body and society are unpolluted. This place is not very far away, it’s possible, it’s close, it’s easy to make it happen. But you’ve been dragged from that place into a world of slavery, of lies, of war, of pain. Your stolen paradise is so close to you, but you are so trapped by your enslavement that you cannot escape to it. The enslavement is financial, is political, is cultural, is educational, is medical, and is spiritual. You could so easily free yourself from that enslavement, but your master has made you believe that you are happy where you are, and that an utopia is unreachable, is far-fetched, it doesn’t exist. But that’s a lie. It’s a lie that has been rooted into the deepest part of your subconscious through education, through beliefs, through perceiving your jail as the only thing that exists. Your master has made it so your cell is more comfortable than your neighbor’s so that you believe you’re in a better place, and that you are happy. But how can you live with that? How can you be happy seeing people die of hunger, of war, of injustice, seeing our planet being raped, destroyed? Is your cell so comfortable? Is it so sealed away from reality that you don’t notice other people’s suffering?

I know your suffering; I know that even if you say you’re ok, you’re not. I know there is a human in you that feels for other humans and for other living beings and wants to do something. And that something you can do is freeing yourself from that slavery, freeing yourself from the system. When you achieve that, you may then be strong enough to help others, and you may discover the paradise you have been missing for so many lifetimes.

There will be many ways that the prison will manifest and try to drag you into it when you try to free yourself from it. It is so overwhelming that you may not even imagine how to do it, how to become free. And if you find a way to free yourself, you may believe it is a lie, that it is impossible, because your life has been based on a lie, one that has made you believe that it is impossible to be free. But if a tiny piece of this information, of this light, has passed through the guards of your cell, and reached your heart, and you wish to free yourself, please allow me, someone or something to help you.

About shamans, wise men, healers, warriors and wizards.

It is hard to define a person that stands out from "normality" and classify them into these very few names commonly given to them. While two different people may call themselves "shaman", the difference between them can be great. Accepted etymology of the word shaman is that of a Russian background and describes a person that has the capacity to contact spirits and heal people thanks to a special connection. But did anyone know that in the Maya language there is the word "xamen" that means "man of the north"? Cultural groups from around the world -"natives"- seem all to have shamans in their tribes or a tag for a person of similar description and while their culture's beliefs and cosmology  are different, they all share common traits.

 We might easily think that a shaman is related only to tribal lifestyle and that it would be a farce to find a shaman that for example is fluent in English or has knowledge of computers or modern things. When we find a person like this, we can be stepping into the other side of the line that divides the description of "shaman" from "wise man". If we think of a wise man, a sage, we might imagine a person that has great knowledge, but of a philosophical type and might still seem strange if we see that person in an internet cafe or at a disco. Luckily, those are all stereotypes, and stereotypes exist to blur us from reality. There are hundreds of shamans and wise men all around us, in large cities, on the bus, on the plane, dressed like us, of any race, speaking any language, doing anything and everything. Wisdom does not discriminate, and what  apparently might seem  not very wise, like drinking a beer on the street, can have a transcendent purpose in an ignored context.

Wisdom and special perceptive and shamanistic abilities can be profoundly obscured by a complex human trait called ego. The battle against this apparent enemy of the wise and enlightened is carried out by people who for that purpose call themselves warriors. In this context, the relation that the word warrior might have to physical aggression, violence or war is completely nonexistent. The battle here is carried out solely within the self and for purposes of enlightenment. Hence great wisdom is achieved and perceptive abilities that might give this person the traits of a shaman and a wise man.

Then we have wizards. People with special abilities to transform people and objects, time and reality. Not to be confused with magicians, who only create the illusion of doing these feats. Only until the last years has modern occidental science achieved to understand that physics can be "bent" and thus these feats are theoretically possible. Modern anthropology has also proven that people with these abilities exist. For wizards there are infinite traditions and types of wizardry. These types of wizardry are normally labeled by colors: "white magic, black magic, red magic" etc.  When the consciousness reaches a certain degree of wisdom and enlightenment, lineal, two dimensional -good and bad-, -before and after-, -better or worse- perspective is lost, and the consciousness enters a multi-dimensional understanding where different things are simply different and don't have to be defined by a line or by a two dimensional way of thinking. Here the self understands that reality is  beyond -good and bad-.

For thousands even millions of years humanity lived in harmony with nature in a state similar to what the bible describes as "paradise", or the garden of eden. This chapter in genesis actually happened in a less metaphoric way. Ancient shamans, by taking plants that took them into alternate states of perception, where able to contact inorganic beings. These inorganic beings tought them incredible powers of what can be called wizardry. Wizards and shamans then, lost themselves to an enemy of the light warrior called power. They dedicated themselves to have more and more power, and with  it they tricked themselves and cursed humanity into a prolongued dark era from which we are barely coming out of today. Later, the same wizards discovered that there was something beyond power, called freedom, and began to search for this freedom, liberating themselves from the curse of power. Today we might still find many wizards who are caught in the ilussion of power and practice great wizardry feats. But these feats are completely unecessary to accomplish the ultimate purspose of a warrior of light, or a shaman wise man: Freedom.
