SEVEN STARS
Today, I will talk about the stars on my front page. As you can see there are seven, count them, seven stars Stars Homepage.
I was told a story about the seven stars. Basically they are the doorway to the spirit world. They are located in the heavens above, clustered so close together they look like one star.
I could never find them when I look up in the sky at night. I just have faith that they are there.
I was told that things can go through that doorway. The ones that passed on to the spirit world pass through this doorway.
Some ceremonies I attend, participate in or perform use this doorway. I find it fascinating that things can be done. Alot of times we concentrate on the 'reality' of every day life.
What we are taught with our eyes and ears. What we were told as children. What we are told by governments or even the churches....propaganda. We see that people are controlled in one way or another.
This prevents many to 'see' the spiritual side of this 'reality'. Our scientifically trained western thought processes.
I have seen this doorway in my mind's eye. I have dreamt of it. I have met some people there. I was trained how to come back to this body on this earth.
I have seen people healed from someone travelling to the spirit world. Questions can be answered by travelling into that doorway and returning. A person can be amazed.
Some people have the ability to do this and some people do not. I think everyone can, if they are trained properly.
When I was a baby, my mother took me to a medicine man to be blessed with an Indian name or 'Spirit name'. Pegamiigahboo as he was known by the area Ojibway. He was also called Billie Archie. He was my grandfathers uncle. The one who brought up my grandfather.
Anyway, during the ceremony. He held me in his arms and 'saw' a hole in the sky. But my spirit name is not Hole in the Sky. He gave me another one instead, Standing Strong and Tall.
During my teenage years my mom told me this. I often wondered why he did not call me Hole in the Sky, after all it was what he saw. Was I supposed to find out for myself? I still use the name he gave me,
I also use Hole in the Sky to see what the spirits will say as I introduce myself to the spirits. The hole in the sky and the seven stars are one in the same.
It was not until I learned to meditate and use my mind to 'travel' that I realized that I was weaving in and out of the hole in the sky at will. I am still practising this today. I am getting more used to what I see in there.
It is not like I cruise around and check things out, I usually have a purpose for this spirit travel. Sometimes the spirits will literaly take me from my sleep and force me to 'see' something. I used to be so frightened because I thought I was being taken into the spirit world for the last time and stay there.
The spirits always bring me back after they show me what I need to see... I wake up and continue my day. Sometimes I the spirit will show me things that are pretty darn scary, sometimes it shows me how to avoid danger, sometimes it shows me where I will be going in the days to come. I am so grateful that the spirit always brings me back to where I may be.
I asked some medicine men about this and I was told that I am connected to this earth and that I will not stay on the other side. I should not be afraid of it. That I should let the spirits take me, because they will always bring me back.
One time, I was in the spirit world on one of my meditations, I met this guy. I do not want to mention any names, but he is a pretty nice guy, he is not a movie star, but he is famous in his own way. I was feeling terribly depressed. I thought a quick meditation to the spirit world would do wonders for my complexion.
I envisioned myself zipping through the universe and heading into this thing (the seven stars). I did not even have to spend chillions and chillions of tax dollars to build me a space ship. I was waiting there talking to some people that I knew when they were still on earth. I was so happy to see them... my grandparents, my friends, even my brother.
I had a nice visit with them. I thought of my troubles back on earth and decided to stay. I felt better over there. I was so happy. Then the guy I mentioned earlier, the famous non-movie star, came toward me. I knew exactly who he was, but he told me who he was anyway. He knew I wanted to stay, but he told me to go back. I felt tears coming from my eyes and I was sad because he told me to go back.
He gave me something. He grabbed my face and blew his breath into me. I felt even more happier. I felt good enough to decide to return to my body. So I did. I opened my eyes and they were spilling with tears. I was lying back on my bed, at my house, in my community. I felt VERY good.
I have come to see that he sent me back here for a reason. People will make fun of me, gossip about me, even hate me, but I still carry that breath and his face with me. It is so freakin hard to deal with the negativity of the people around me and around this earth, I find it a terribly hard job to keep this negativity from entering my mind. It seems to be poisonous and contagious, I will fight this negativity.
I still return to see this guy and just like a gas station, he fills me up with his breath.
When I have the urge to help some one, I will blow my breath to them also, maybe I can help them out a little bit.
I see this internet as sort of a spirit world. A computer is the doorway into it. A pretty cool analogy.
I will write more in a few days.
