Gray Hair
by White Feather
We all know that physical puberty occurs usually during one's teens. Spiritual puberty, however, usually doesn't happen until one is in their late thirties and early forties--right about the time the first gray hairs start appearing. This is followed by spiritual adolescence and culminates in spiritual adulthood--usually in one's fifties or sixties.
In times long, long ago, back when we had lifespans of hundreds of years, we really weren't considered fully mature until we were close to 60 years old. At this time our hair was fully gray--which in those days was a sign a maturity. If you lived to 600 years and your hair furned completely gray by age 60, then your hair would be gray for 90% of your life. You would consider it your normal color and any color it may have been before it turned gray would be considered a sign of youth, just like baby whooping cranes are born brownish-orange but turn white when they mature into adults.
But then we stepped deeply into a denser vibration and to our horror we realized that our lifespans were cut way down in size. Now, just as we were fully maturing and our hair was turning gray, instead of beginning a long life as a mature adult, we were suddenly faced with something completely new: something called aging. In the olden days, the way you looked when you were 60 was basically the way you looked for the rest of your life, meaning hundreds of years. Aging didn't happen. Getting gray hair wasn't about aging way back then, it was about maturing. Now, though, it became a signal of aging instead. Once we start seeing the signs of aging--and gray hair has become such a sign for us--then we believe we don't have much time left, and therefore we don't.
Once we start seeing gray hair as a sign of maturity rather than a sign of aging then people will stop coloring their hair, and not only that, but it will take us a long way in overcoming this dis-ease called aging. Of course, it's pretty hard to change the beliefs held collectively in mass consciousness. All we can do is change our own beliefs and be an example.

Soul Waves
by White Feather
Every year, Harley bikers from all over meet in Sturgis, South Dakota to convene their annual whoopjamborie. Graduated high school classes have reunions every five or ten years. Soldiers who fought together will reunite in their old age to reminisce and share what has happened since the war. Families everywhere have reunions. Large groups of people with common interest have this instinct to come together in reunions, and these reunions often become markers of time for that group. It is no different for the Asamee soul-group.
The last big whoopjamborie that the Asamee had was in the 1950's. Family reunions have age groups; there are the old folks, the middle-aged folks, the young adults, the teenagers, and the smaller kids. Soul groups are the same way. They form groups that reincarnate together so that they are in the same group together in the physical plane. The soul-group can carry on its work more smoothly if they reincarnate in these groups, so that the work can be passed down through the physical generations. It wouldn't make much sense for the soul-group to all incarnate at the same time and die all around the same time. It needs to be staggered. It works for families, so soul-groups use it, too. So soul-group subgroups incarnate in waves that are designed to fit into a pattern with the other soul-group subgroups.
The 1950's Asamee whoopjamborie brought together the entire soul-group in spirit. In the first half of the 1900's a subgroup of Asamee had progressed significantly in creating a framework for subsequent subgroups to carry on the Asamee work. This subgroup came in from 1875 to the 1890's, and they began dying in the 1940's and 1950's. The next oldest subgroup was in their forties in the 1950's. The dying subgroup turned everything over to the new subgroup in the 1950's. The new subgroup's duty was primarily to keep things going until the dying subgroup could be born again and mature enough to take on the work again. So to make the timing work right, a lot of Asamee needed to die in the late forties or early fifties so that they could be born again in the late Fifties/early Sixties, so that they would be in or near their forties around the turn of the millenium. There was another subgroup that were teenagers in the Fifties. Some of this group were the ones who gave birth to the new group being born in the late Fifties. The subgroup that took over things in the Fifties were planning to come back in a big wave in the 1980's, so most of them did their dying in the Seventies and early Eighties.
In their spiritual states, the Asamee knew about the upcoming shift in time virals and the accompanying shift in consciousness. They all wanted to be there for the great event, but they had to time their birth so that they could be a certain age or maturity level for the event. When the shift happens, there will be four main age subgroups; one around sixty and older (the ones that were teenagers in the Fifties, one in their forties to early fifties (the ones who were born in the late Fifties/early Sixties), one in their twenties (those born near the Harmonic Convergence), and one group of small children (who have been coming in in recent years).
Through the centuries, this chain of birthing has accomplished its goal of keeping a vibration going. It has allowed for a very slow and steady evolvement. This changed in the 1950's, though, and that is what the Fifties whoopjamborie was all about.
In their get-together, souls were reminded that a quickening of vibration would begin in the 1950's and accelerate from there right into the new time viral of the next century. Souls were reminded that the rate of evolvement would increase significantly and exponentially. This means that more issues would be dealt with in a lifetime than usual.
Picture this: You and your group are at an amusement park. SomeONE blows a whistle or something, and you all gather together for a little meeting. SomeONE reminds everyONE that there is only so much time left before everyONE left that amusement park for the next amusement park. It had been agreed upon by everyONE that they would ride every ride in the park and then move on to the next park. EveryONE is reminded of this at the little meeting so that they can search out those rides they had not ridden yet. Once everyONE had ridden all the rides, then everyONE would meet one more time for another little whoopjamborie before rushing into the gates of the next amusement park--which, rumor has it, has some really cool rides. Perhaps this helps to illustrate the nature of the 1950's Asamee whoopjamborie.
The 1950's Asamee whoopjamborie was held in spirit. EveryONE attended, whether they were in the body of a one-year old baby, a 60 year old, or not even in a body. The Asamee have been holding whoopjambories for a long, long time, but this 1950's one was special, being the last one before we all changed amusement parks. It was also the last whoopjamborie to be held in spirit. The next one (around 2012), will be held in the flesh! By then, the spirit and the physical will be reunited in one dimension, and the whoopjamborie will be unlike any other. Twelve and a half thousand years of whoopjambories were all in preparation for this next one. It is what we are all looking forward to.

Dreams and Creating
by White Feather
How can we remember and learn from our dreams?
The same way we remember and learn in the waking state. We must be conscioussly aware in both states. Even in our waking state we are not fully conscious most of the time, and we don't always remember everything. Our brains scan all the information we receive during the day and filters out what is important for us to remember and the rest seems forgotten, lost in our subconscious. It is the same with dreams. We remember only the informaition that we have programmed ourselves to remember. We do this programming through our beliefs in the validity of dreams. What we expect from our dreams helps determine what we remember.
Our conscious recollection of our dreams is often proportional to our conscious recollection in the waking state. Being more consciously aware in our waking state helps us to be more consciously aware in our dream state, and being more consciously aware in our dream state, helps us to be more consciously aware in our awake state.
Joy is found through out the universe. To follow your joy is to become the universe.The key to any universe is through joy. All the universes big and small can be entered through their own vibrational patterns of joy. Universes await your visits, which are made possible by aligning with that vibrational pattern of joy. All it takes is an adjustment in our vibratory frequency and we can visit the universe held in the head of a pin, or the universe that holds the universe that holds the universe that you are in. There are countless universes going on right now in the very space that you are in. Like a radio, we only need to adjust the frequency to tune in to any of these universes. To turn the dial, we must first be aware of the frequency in which we operate. We cannot let go of that frequency if we are not even aware of it. We are afraid, though, to let go of our frequency, for we are afraid we will not be able to get back. But to get back, we merely have to turn the dial back, and that is easy because our intense focus on our present dimension creates a default setting for our consciousness to come back to. We visit other dimensions in our sleep every day, yet we are not generally afraid of not coming back.

Ramble #7
by White Feather
One's safety is determined solely by one's perceptions. WE CREATE OUR OWN REALITY.
A fault line opens up between two neighbors. (This a quake prone neighborhood) Both houses fall in. The Smith's house is crushed along with the Smith family. The Jones' house is crushed, but the Jones were away attending a wedding in Cleveland so they survive. This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with luck or coincidence.
Two homes sit on the prairie of the land that is considered the safest in the world. The inhabitants of these homes have spent their lifetimes searching for the safest place in the world. Now that they have finally found their safe spot, they no longer have anything to fear, and are besides themselves. They don't know what to do. Then a meteor comes streaking out of the sky and wipes out both houses. Since they were so remote, no one else died. This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with luck or coincidence.
There is a fault running underneath a beautiful sleepy valley. The tension created by this fault is tremendous, and growing with each day. The tension creates an electromagnetic charge that gives a surprising lift to some people that were going through the valley one day. They felt so super-charged with energy in this spot that they build a little town and invited people from all over. Within a short time, people from all over came to live in this town. They liked it there because the energetic vibrations were compatible with their own, which were vibrations that liked being on the edge of danger. They liked that energetic spark and fed off of it. As more and more people came and fed off that energy, that energy began to diminish and the big earthquake never happened (although they had a few itty bitty quakes). Finally, a lot of the people left because they were no longer being fed as high a charge, so they left to go live on the side of some volcano. Years later, the tension began building again along the fault. Soon the population, after a period of decline, began increasing again and a second wave of prosperity ensued. This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with luck or coincidence.
Our safety is determined by our thoughts. Vibrations attract like vibrations. How you vibrate determines what you bring into your life. The best way to increase our vibrations is by experiencing love and joy. It is the mechanical repetitive patterns of consciousness that we hold on to that keep us from experiencing love and joy. Most of the time we operate on a sort of programmed default consciousness, which does not allow for love and joy. Breaking down these patterns of consciousness, releasing them, and then going after love and joy with all our heart, our vibrations will increase exponentially. Our vibrations will eventually get to the level where nothing at all can hurt us. Safety will no longer be a relief from our fears, but rather an expression of our love and joy.
And this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with luck or coincidence.

Persecute
by White Feather
How do you define persecute? The American Heritage Dictionary, published by Dell Publishing, defines it thusly:
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Persecute - 1. to oppress or harass with ill-treatment, 2. To annoy persistently. (page 511 of the paperback edition)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In light of this definition, how many people have you persecuted lately? And how many times have you been persecuted lately?
Persecution is something we do to criminals. Why do we oppress, harass, and annoy them? What does that accomplish?
How many times have we been oppressed? Harassed? Annoyed?
Is this a duality we're stuck in? What's the difference between persecution and forgiveness? Is forgiveness what stops this dualistic treadmill? Or is the answer a conscious ceasing of persecution? Or a combination of both? How do we gain a wholeness of understanding of this duality so that we can initiate movement towards new ideas?
Like so many verbs, persecute has its opposite polarity; being persecuted. How can we go beyond this duality? Could it be true that every ounce of persecution we project outwards comes back to us exponentially? Could it be true that every ounce of persecution that we feel is being perpetrated against us is projected outwards and comes back to us exponentially?
What happens when you start walking faster on a treadmill?
You go faster; that's all.
One last question: What is the word cute doing in persecute?

Ramble #6
by White Feather
If we truly create our own realities then we create all the people in our lives. That includes our parents. In addition to our mother there may be others in our lives who express a mother energy. But they are all our creations and they all mirror the mother energy within us. When we need a mother to take care of us we take part of the mother energy within us and project it out, manifesting a mother. As we mature we learn to take care of ourselves and don't need the mother energy outside of ourselves so much. No matter where we place it, the mother energy is still ours and any mother problems in our physical reality are a mirror of any problems we are having with our own mother energy. Mother energy is far more than just being taken care of but that is how most think of it. Mother energy is also about trust. Any trust issue is a mother energy issue. The level of our creative abilities is reflective of our level of trust in our selves. When action (a male energy) is guided by trust (a female mother energy) and the two are in balance, then one's creative abilities within that duality are nothing short of divine.

Embracing the River
by White Feather
You know, writing is a directional thing. It is a flow. It is an interpretation of a flow of energy. Let's look at it like it's a river since rivers are famous for flowing. You, the writer, are sitting on the riverbank at the very edge of the water. What you are going to do is embrace a snippet of river as it flows by and in so doing, you imprint your vibrations upon that snippet of river flowing by.
And then it's gone. That snippet of river is downriver and out of sight before you know it. So what you do is focus on another embracement and imprinting. Of course, it's gone pretty fast, too; being swept away by the river. But that river carries your imprinting far, far downstream and a lot of people sitting on the riverbanks downstream will see your embracement go by and they will feel the joy and love that was imprinted in it and it will help awaken the joy and love in their own hearts. Your embracement floating by may influence a lot of other peoples' embracements. People may end up sitting by the river and waiting for one of your embracements to come floating by.
The important thing to remember is that everything that you write is an embracement of the life-giving energy that flows through you. But once you embrace something it is no longer yours! Once it's embraced and imprinted then it's flowing away down the river. It's gone. It is a tendency for us to try to hold onto those embracements because they're "ours" and we don't want to see them float down the river away from us. This is both damming and damning. What are you doing when you don't let a river flow naturally; when you try to hold back the water? You're damming it. This, in turn, damns your creative efforts, so instead of having a constant flow of new river to embrace you've just got a pool of the same water. And stagnation sets in.
We don't own our writing creations. I'm not talking about copyright or anything like that but rather I'm speaking in universal terms. Of course, in universal terms we really don't own anything (yet everything). Anyway, our writings are our "creations" but once created they are no longer ours. It's like childbirth. Yeah, the kid might be ours but once it shoots out of the mother's body it is its own divine being and is not "owned" by anyone. But like with kids, we tend to hold on to our creations because of this perception of ownership we are stuck in. Ownership dams the flow. Some parents never let go of their children and some writers never let go of their creations.
So put yourself back at that riverbank. You're watching the river flow by. You've got pen and paper handy and you do an embracement and that embracement produces a poem. Once the poem is fully embraced, throw it in the river. Just throw it. You no longer own it. Just toss it in the river. Now you're free to enjoy your next embracement.
What will happen as you send embracements, one after another, down the river is that other people sitting on the riverbanks downstream will pull your poem out of the river and "read" it. If the poem sparks love, joy, or beauty within the reader then that reader's embracement of love, joy, or beauty is fed into another flow of energy that flows in the opposite direction of the river. This one flows through the air over the river and is a collection of energy from the accumulated embracements of all the readers downstream.
So there you are still sitting by the river. You are making lots of embracements and sending them on down the river. Meanwhile, as you breath in the air you are filled with that other flow of energy that includes all the energy of those downstream. So you've got a double flow going. But if you dam one flow then the other one stops, too. So embrace and release. Embrace/release. Don't hold on to anything. Just feel....and release.
You see the more appropriate way of "owning" something is to feel it; to embrace it. But we tend to view "owning" something as holding it within our grasp. We can't own anything until we've felt and embraced it and released it.
When we hold onto something and don't throw it in the river, so to speak, because we're worried about what people downstream might think then we're damming the double energy flow that we need to further "create." But this is why we won't let go of our stuff and throw it in the river because we have fear of that energy flow coming back towards us. It's a tough fear to walk through but it's also as easy as throwing a piece of paper into a river. The important thing to remember is that we cannot fully embrace our creations if we are judging them. That's not feeling. That's mental dam-building.
So perhaps you've already thrown a few pieces of paper in the river but you are not yet accustomed to the double flow of energy and your fears and judgments are all that are preventing an unimpeded flow. But you're new at this and your beginner's apprehension will evaporate further with each new piece of paper thrown in the river. So relax and enjoy the river. Keep your focus on the river in front of you and don't let your mind wander to those downstream. The river directly in front of you (the NOW) is the only place in the river where you can embrace/release/create.

You know, writing is a directional thing. It is a flow. It is an interpretation of a flow of energy. Let's look at it like it's a river since rivers are famous for flowing. You, the writer, are sitting on the riverbank at the very edge of the water. What you are going to do is embrace a snippet of river as it flows by and in so doing, you imprint your vibrations upon that snippet of river flowing by.
And then it's gone. That snippet of river is downriver and out of sight before you know it. So what you do is focus on another embracement and imprinting. Of course, it's gone pretty fast, too; being swept away by the river. But that river carries your imprinting far, far downstream and a lot of people sitting on the riverbanks downstream will see your embracement go by and they will feel the joy and love that was imprinted in it and it will help awaken the joy and love in their own hearts. Your embracement floating by may influence a lot of other peoples' embracements. People may end up sitting by the river and waiting for one of your embracements to come floating by.
The important thing to remember is that everything that you write is an embracement of the life-giving energy that flows through you. But once you embrace something it is no longer yours! Once it's embraced and imprinted then it's flowing away down the river. It's gone. It is a tendency for us to try to hold onto those embracements because they're "ours" and we don't want to see them float down the river away from us. This is both damming and damning. What are you doing when you don't let a river flow naturally; when you try to hold back the water? You're damming it. This, in turn, damns your creative efforts, so instead of having a constant flow of new river to embrace you've just got a pool of the same water. And stagnation sets in.
We don't own our writing creations. I'm not talking about copyright or anything like that but rather I'm speaking in universal terms. Of course, in universal terms we really don't own anything (yet everything). Anyway, our writings are our "creations" but once created they are no longer ours. It's like childbirth. Yeah, the kid might be ours but once it shoots out of the mother's body it is its own divine being and is not "owned" by anyone. But like with kids, we tend to hold on to our creations because of this perception of ownership we are stuck in. Ownership dams the flow.

Ramble #5

Intuition is neither positive nor negative; neither good nor bad, neither male nor female. It just is. It is unconditional.
Where do we receive intuition? Through the solar-plexus mind, and we receive it in the form of unconditional feeling-tone vibrations. We receive it as feelings, and we then proceed to come up with a brain story to explain those feelings. It is in this process that the feeling-tone vibrations become fractured and polarized and take on perceptions of duality. (Of course, it is just our perceptions that are polarized.)
The ideal situation would be to let the intuition feeling-tone vibrations in, but to leave them as such and not put them through the brain process. The second we judge an intuition it is no longer unconditional and it becomes polarized. The second we doubt an intuition it is no longer unconditional and it becomes polarized. The same with fear. Once we have polarized an intuition we then spend our time trying to categorize those polarities and aligning ourselves with one or the other. This keeps us from understanding the totality of the intuitive message. We're so busy judging things as either good or bad that we've set up a mental block which prevents us from feeling the feeling.
Intuition is feeling! It is not a thought process and it is not a brain process. We process intuition--and all feeling--in our gut, not our heads. The very second we judge(brain) an intuitive feeling as good, even, we have polarized our perception of that intuitive feeling and therefore block ourselves from the full message of that intuitive feeling.
Good and bad are dualities; they're two sides of the same coin. If we only see good, then we're only seeing half the picture. If we only see bad, we're only seeing half the picture. Our attempt to intellectualize intuition is our attempt to find the full meaning of the coin by looking only at one side. Naturally, in this dimension, the coin of good and bad would be spinning furiously so you couldn't hardly see either side of it. You'd see it as ONE object. It is our brains that try to stop the coin from spinning so that it can align itself with one of the two polarities.
If we see the coin as spinning and ignore the polarities in order to see the ONE-ness of it, then we can feel all the information contained in that coin in its totality without getting caught up in one or the other of the polarities which prevent us from seeing the totality. Our solar-plexus mind is specifically designed to do this, but we have trained ourselves to rely on our intellectual brains to translate feeling-tones. Like computers, the intellectual part of our brains is binary or dualistic. Our brains interpret and categorize according to polarity alignments. Everything has to be either good or bad so the brain knows where to file it. Because of this, we can never see the totality and wholeness of anything just using our brains.
