Letter from Mom

March 18, 2020

My Dearest Child,

I’m writing to you because, as always, your Mother is worried about you. I’m hoping that you’re safe, healthy, and still have the abundance of life in front of you; Just as I have always wished for all my kids. I’m also writing to let you know how your elderly mom is feeling and what I’ve had to do to cope with the current situation going on around the world.

I have literally given everything to you, and I do love you, but the time has come that you need to start acting like a responsible person. It might seem like I’m sending some tough love at you right now, but it is not just for your own good, but for all my children. I’ve been trying to knock some sense into you for years (decades) now about this utter denial of yours to show how your actions affect me. Your ongoing crazy spring break partying and behaviors needs to come to an end. Your gaslighting must stop. I’m not sure what this meme thing is, but I’ll look it up on my AOL account later. I know my sweet child, you thought your old mom was just being out of touch, and you ignored me when I keep telling you I’ve been hurting. I’ve been sharing with you my teachings all along. I was trying to let you learn on your own, and like most teenagers, you were sure you knew it all. So, I’ve had to take some drastic steps, which I can clearly see if causing much heartache. I needed to put you in your room so you can get some much needed quite time and reflect on what is important, not just what you think you’re entitled too. Call it a collective timeout if you want, but it is the only way that I was able to get your attention.

Sure, it might seem scary at first to be in your artificially sustained room, but I know you have everything you need. When you were a baby, I’ve wiped your ass enough times with enough things, to know that you will not run out of toilet paper. Remember that time the whole family went camping and needed to use the leaves from the trees? Sure, it was funny, your Aunt Birch laughed so hard and told that story for years…but it worked! You’ll have air to breathe, enough food to keep you nourished, and water to drink. Try to remember that I’m always here even if you can’t see me as you find your way in the dark.

Remember the time you got lost in the mall and got panicked and scared cause you couldn’t find me? Well, it’s the same panic you’re feeling now. Make sure you do what I taught you then…stay put, and the compassion of a nice person or just your own actions will bring you back to me. You will find me again. I have learned through my years that we all need to help each other, or be the one that needs the help, at one point or another. I needed the help and just today, I was brought fresh air, less pollution, cleaner water and some beautiful spring flowers. All this bounty came from just a couple of weeks of my children being forced to stop grabbing my resources for their play factories.

My children, all my children, I can only hope that you see the error of your ways and that you can’t keep taking more than you give back. I’m running out of time to be able to replenish my resources for you. I will always be here to take care of you, how can I not? You were birthed from me and will always be a part of me.

I have no judgement of my children, only justice.

Well, it’s time for me to go deep clean my house; some chores never change. I couldn’t find any more hand sanitizer at the store, so I called your cousin, the Sun, and he’ll be here shortly.

Be well my child, don’t forget to give your Mother some love.

Eternally yours,

Mother Nature

P.S Don’t forget to send your brother Spring a card; It’s his birthday in a few days.

2019 Monthly Community Conference Calls


Winter’s Robe Series
Renewable Wisdom Trails Community Outreach

The upcoming outreach is in honor of the many keepers of earth’s history before organized social systems and laws became necessary. One such person was an elder keeper and personal friend. She recently crossed to another existence. Her name was Grandmother Shanidi Crosby. These teachings and writings are being guided to the public by her hands and blessings. Please be respectful of the privileges that knowledge includes. It is in her words that she said “we are always learning”.

The Winter’s Robe series in our continuing community call outreaches will be focused on the exploration of the Trail of Existence using the cosmology of the Renewable Wisdom Trails. Calls take place once a month for two and a half hours. Each call includes an introduction, selected teaching, and group discussion. The calls are recorded and provided to those that participate.

Using traditional environmental knowledge (TEK), order is maintained by guiding environmental laws, disciplines, and principles illuminated by each species relationship to the great mystery of Nature. This is a key distinction of the Renewable Wisdom Trails, in that it is not being organized or driven by economics, commerce, cognitive or other forms of human-focused participation. Some might find the lack of policies and specific participation requests unsettling, there is no advancement of any agenda. It is left up to each individual to find the self-discovery and internal motivation along the journey. This will be reflected to each participant by the additions, subtractions, and outer relatedness present and revealed in their everyday lives. This is how the mystery of engagement evolves, opens, and presents itself though not just the human world, but all of the worlds.

The Renewable Wisdom Trials is a living cosmology and continues to emerge with the involvement of each participant. Participation opens the ancient disciplines, ethics, principles, and accountability to nature as a whole system and the existence of human interdependence. The Renewable Wisdom Trails cosmology is alive all around us.

If you would like to participant in this upcoming series of teachings and learning for a complete experience on the Trail of Existence (and whatever else is navigated), contact to arrange for additional information on how to participate.

Educational Research and Releases of Knowledge preparing potentials of Dreaming a Sustainable Future

Course Offerings Jan 2018

Renewable Wisdom Trails Shield
Renewable Wisdom Trails Shield

We’re excited to be offering both course 01 – Seeding of the Dream, and course 02 – Fire in the Womb starting in January 2018. Both will be offered through teleconference calls to be inclusive of all participants, where ever you are located.

Our ancestors help us to reclaim ancient knowledge and wisdom, much of which has been forgotten in contemporary times. Using the science, art, and craft of the Renewable Wisdom Trails library, we will be exploring and discovering our connection to the natural worlds by awakening and bringing this forgotten wisdom forward. It is lived through the oral teachings and a conscious lifestyle. This reclaiming is needed to bring the balance back to Mother Earth, as she once knew it.

Seeding of the Dream, the introduction and orientation course, will be using firsthand observation, experience, and the teachings of the Renewable Wisdom Trails,  as the first of an ongoing series and prepares each student with the solid foundation necessary for any of the further courses.

During these powerful phone conferences, you’ll discover:

  • Our role as humans within the Renewable Wisdom Trails Cosmology
  • Protocols and guidelines in alignment with nature
  • How symbols and experiences are archived within our body and consciousness
  • Ways of bringing consciousness to our sensory surroundings and our capacity of this awareness
  • A keen sense of community, and how we create that global connection with all species

For more information or to register, visit the Upcoming Events page.

 

Fire in the Womb, the second course, will make a pass through the Renewable Wisdom Trail’s Twinning Cosmology with special emphasis on the fires of Stars and Suns designated by the numbers 11/1. We will gather seeds (intentions) and plant the qualities of awareness and presence.  These qualities are characterized by the consciousness inside and outside a body. Where the first course is an introductory orientation to the Renewable Wisdom Trails Cosmology with a focus on the Zero and twinning numbers and qualities, Course 2 takes the class into the study and work of how to discover the whole cosmology within each section of the Turtle’s Shell.

Fever in the Oceans

What if you ran a temperature of 102 all the time? It would not be long before your body would just shutdown and die off. We’re not meant to function with a fever of 102 degrees. The coral reefs are trying to survive a fever in the oceans. I just finished watching  Chasing Coral, the recently released documentary on Netflix about the Coral reef disappearing at an alarming rate. Bleaching events are taking place all over the world, and this exceptional film takes the adventure underwater. The journey is a testament to commitment and love of the oceans and filming is amazing, so that anyone, not just divers and marine biologists, can see the bleaching impact and what it means for the planet. Being a diver myself, I was literally in tears watching it because I have seen first hand both the beauty and the death taking place at places around the world. To see it in timelapse real-time is another experience. It is a film well worth watching, among one of the many reasons, to witness the interconnectedness  of everything, large and small, on this blue planet of ours. This is a must watch wake up call, before all of the reefs and the ecosystems are gone, and at that point, humans wouldn’t be far behind. It is my hope and prayers that is truly is not to late. #ChasingCoral #CoralReefs #GlobalWarming

An Iceberg and a Blade of Grass

Icebergs

By now you have probably seen some news outlet post about the giant iceberg, some 2,200 sq. miles, that has just broken off of the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica. If you haven’t, here is an informative post on the history of it from National Geographic. Most of the 7.5 billion humans that live on Mother Earth, think Antarctica is some far away place that has no relationship to them. That can’t be farther from the truth. I’d propose, that the the ramifications of what just happened, and is accelerating, in Antarctica are as close to you as the blade of grass you see right in front of you. Our world is changing. It is changing for people, for plants, for animals, the oceans, our air. Most of these changes are happening in such a continued way small and tiny, that it almost becomes imperceptible, unnoticeable, to our daily needs, wants, and lives.  It reminds me of the the boiling frog parable.

Nature, however, maintains her balance, always. There is no judgement, justification on how, or why, or the causes, she will always maintain the balance. I have been fortunate enough to have been one of the very few people of the human population to actually set foot onto the Antarctic continent. It is the harshest place and the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. It was humbling and overwhelming. I was able to bare witness to the natural process, in real-time,  of balancing with the changes taking place on the planet. You can see here a small part of a photo journal gallery I took while I was there. The enormity and scale is truly indescribable. Yet, the smallest of mosses exist on the ice, there is sea life that feeds on the smallest of krill, the penguins gather, birth, and go about their lives. There are now areas on the peninsula that are ice free, the temperatures have been rising the fastest of anywhere else on the entire planet. According to some of the biologists and scientists on the expedition ship I was on, the actual number is closer to 15 degrees Fahrenheit, not the 7 or 8 that is reported. As if 7 or 8 degrees was no big deal. The mosses are now appearing on rocks, not ice. The krill populations have been decreasing causing changes in feeding column and cycles of the whales and other sea life. The penguins are moving their colonies farther and farther south, to try and get the colder climate. They have no place left to go. They are literally out of space on the Earth in order to survive.

So what does all of this have to do with the blade of grass? The bulk of a blade of grass exists out of sight, in the extensive root system below the ground. We only see a small portion of the grass plant itself. The blade is just a tiny part of the plant, but without it, the whole plant can die. What we are witnessing happening in Antarctica with the iceberg the size of a small state breaking off is only the smallest portion of what is actually happening. The waters are warming, the ice canyons are being carved out at a pace that we have no understanding of, and life is changing. As a technologist, I am fully aware that the so-called ‘climate models’ being used to report are only as good as the algorithms, and we have no idea how to write the proper algorithm because we have no reference point to use. Otherwise, the algorithms and the data coming from them are meaningless. We simply do not have the data to write an accurate model, however that is not going to stop the changes from happening, probably at a rate the exceeds any of the most liberal of models. Nature will balance as she needs.

What can each of us do? First, let each of us realize that we are related to the farthest, smallest part of the universe and the  that each and every action we take will play a role in that evolution. It is all inclusive. Make wise choices and dream for the good of all (people, plants, animals, earth), not just for our own personal need at the time.  It is my hope, prayers, and actions for Mother Earth that she is able to maintain the human assault and remain in balance before it is truly to late for her. Dream big folks.

Free Conference Call and Upcoming Santa Fe, NM Workshops

You are invited to a free conference call
Thursday, March 9th at 7:00pm EST

You are invited to a free conference call

Led by Guy Lone Eagle, this call will be an introduction to some advanced curriculums on studies that address our Commons: our clean air, clean water, and the rights of all species to co-create. Commons also refers to an environmental theology based on the oral and academic traditions of hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies. The goal of the dreamers is to access renewal wisdom from our ancestral history and from partnership with nature.

Some may ask: Who are the dreamers? They are spirits/seekers of knowledge in various forms that unite magic and science.

The conference call will also lend insight to the Ways of the Dreamers and Lighting the Eighth Fire, a workshop being offered in Santa Fe April 7th.  “Lighting” is a symbol of awakening. Lighting the 8th Fire was interpreted by the Elders as a unification of dreamers to dream “in” a new way of experiencing this planet.  (For more information on the workshop, click here Ways of the Dreamers and Lighting of the Eighth Fire Santa Fe Workshop)

Ways of the Dreamer

I’ve been involved in a Circle called the Dreamers’ Cosmology with some comrades in the Four Corners area of the US. We have been exploring a set of guidelines for the Dreamer to be used for those looking for common, nature-based teachings, that will help us navigate through these current times. It is rooted in inclusiveness and honoring all of the Natural worlds. Those folks who are interested in working with these guidelines and exploring the mystery surrounding them are showing up at gatherings that have begun to help the movement forward. We are exploring various formats for delivery, and they will be evolving…like we all are! I thought you might like to get a sense for this exploration. Attached is the transcript from a recent gathering that took place in Silver City, NM given by Guy Lone Eagle where he is sharing the Lighting of the Eighth Fire prophecy that we’re working within and a flavor for the medicine wheels. There will be longer, more in-depth lodges and discussions taking place in the upcoming weeks in Silver City, Santa Fe New Mexico, as well as in Durango, Colorado and possibly Moab, Utah. We are also being prepared to take these teachings anywhere they are being called, so if you are drawn to sponsoring a lodge, feel free to get in touch with me and we can discuss further.

Medicine – The result of coming into the Magic

Recently, my good friend, mentor, teacher and Traditional Wisdom Keeper, Guy Lone Eagle gave a radio interview on KZMU in Moab, Utah. I wanted to share it so folks can get a flavor for what a medicine bundle and the Oral Tradition is about and get a taste for making that connection with nature. This interview was given prior to an introductory class called ‘The Art of Intimacy’ which gave a broad overview of a very powerful teaching called the Qualities of Truth. Hope you find this interview insightful and you can always get in touch if you’re interested in hosting such a gathering in your location.
