You find yourself on a path beside a lake in the middle of an ancient forest. As you turn and look at this large tranquil lake beside you, you are amazed at how calm and peaceful it is ... the lake looks like a large mirror in the pre-dawn light, reflecting the misty mountains and forests that surround it. You breathe deeply, letting the quiet coolness of the air fill your lungs ...
Suddenly, you see a flash of white feathers fly past out of the corner of your eye. You turn around and see, just behind you, a beautiful white owl perched on the branch of a gnarled tree. You cautiously approach the tree, wanting to have a closer look. Soon you are standing right in front of the tree, staring at the bird. The owl peers down at you, it's wise, unblinking eyes staring into yours. You start to feel as though it is trying to communicate with you, but then it suddenly swoops away deep into the forest ...
You swivel your head to look in the direction where the owl flew, and notice a path leading into the forest. You follow it, full of curiousity, and wonder where it might lead ...
The trail on which you now walk leads you deep into the misty forest. Around you, you can hear the whisperings of the trees as a light breeze moves through them. Occasionally, the sound of an awakening bird pierces the cool silence. You breathe deeply, inhaling the scent of the dewy foliage and moist earth. Although the sun has still not yet risen, the shadows are slowly disappearing, hiding until darkness comes again...
Presently, the trail fades off...but as you peer through the mists, you can see an opening through the thick undergrowth. Passing through it, the mists lift and reveal to you a secret grove ...
The grove is no more than nine metres in diameter, and is surrounded by a circle of ancient trees. The thick undergrowth and drifting mists prevent you from seeing outside of the circle. But inside it is clear, still, and silent. Beneath your feet is thick, green grass, that compels you to lie down amoungst it...
Upon rising, you notice that there is also a circle of low grey stones in the middle of the grove, about three metres in diameter. No higher than footstools, the rocks are covered with patches of moss. You can feel a sort of power emanating from them, and the closer you walk, the stronger it gets. With no hestiation, you step into the center of the circle and close you eyes. The power of the grove fills you with an uplifting whirlwind of magic, peace, love, awareness, and wisdom that flows through every part of your body...
As you slowly open your eyes, you finally understand the true magic of this grove. You look around you, aware of things that you never knew before. The rocks surrounding you were glowing with energy and life. Standing beside the ancient trees were tall, wise beings smiling lovingly at you ... they were the spirits of the trees...
Your awareness stretches out further, and you can feel the sun rising. Listening carefully, you can even hear it ... the light of the dawn ... a strange, strong, calming chorus of divine voices. The light which you felt in your blood can now be seen ... a ray of light pierces through above the trees and shines on the dew, sending dancing rainbows everywhere...
At the same time, a tall, graceful being appears in front of you in the circle. She radiates a warm, peaceful, and loving presence, and upon looking into her deep blue-grey eyes, you feel that her wisdom is great. Her inner radiance shines brightly...and looking down at yourself you're suddenly aware of your inner glow. You realise that she is only human, yet she has been awakened, like you. She nods, aware of your thoughts ... "Yes, we are both awakened ... we are Dreaming Angels... not angels, still human ... yet we are remembering the wisdom the earth has to tell ... Now come with me, because we must learn..." |
