6th Gate Activation of
the 11:11, Dingle, Ireland, 29 May, 2004
A letter about my
experiences in Ireland and Scotland following the 6th gate
activation:
Well, I will try to share some of my experiences since we all left Dingle. Most of my journal as I look back gives consistent examples of the miracles that happen on a daily basis as we allow things to flow in our lives and let go of control; things manifested constantly for me whether it was a ride I needed, a place to stay, meeting people that led to profound experiences, ending up in a place I hadn’t planned on and having more profound experiences. It was simply an amazing six weeks.
As far as the 6th gate
energies go, it wasn’t until my return to Wyoming that I was finally able to put
into words what’s been happening. For weeks, I had been feeling that topsy-turvy (right-side up one minute,
upside-down the next) experience from the gate. I also had quite a few OLD behavior
patterns from childhood and adolescence surface that I wasn’t aware were even
still a part of me. When I put it all together in a brief synopsis, I realized that at this stage the universe is
throwing oneness and duality at us constantly. This will enable our conscious
minds to see and crystalize the difference between the two, because it will be
our full being (conscious and unconscious) that has to choose to step onto the
spiral of oneness. It is also forcing the resurfacing of all old aspects of duality that we have not truly let
go of, so that we have conscious recognition that we are still holding onto
something and have to be totally free of ALL aspects of duality within our
beings in order to make the shift into oneness. It
was quite a joyous moment of revelation when these words spilled forth from my
mouth to reveal what’s been going on for me.
Outside of the gate energies, I
was led to travel through Ireland and Scotland as sort of a spiritual
pilgrimage. I had to return to Scotland to do some soul retrieval work and was led in Ireland to some places
where the veil between worlds is very thin. This facilitated some wonderful things
for me. Scotland was fascinating, as I had previously thought I knew which past lifetimes
were being healed. I was shocked to be hiking along Loch
Lomond and have a whole different set of memories gush in of a lifetime I hadn’t
remembered before. This happened on Iona for me as well. I knew about a
lifetime as a monk there and thought this was the main reason for my return
there. In fact, I have had two lifetimes there and it was the much older druid priest
memories that surprised me as they surfaced. It was these
that needed to be reawoken and rekindled within my deepest being I guess. I’m not really sure what all of it was
about. My spirit guides have told me to allow assimilation of everything that has happened over the next few
months and that clarity will come as time moves on and things play out. I do know that I felt very whole or
complete somehow, moreso than I ever have in this lifetime, as I left
Scotland. It was almost as if a huge homework assignment was finally done.
In Ireland, I had my first
experiences communicating with stones. I left Dingle and went first to Kenmare where there is a Druid stone
circle. There are 16 stones there: one in the center and 15 around the circumference with one open space.
(Evenly spaced with 4 to each quarter circle like a clock with 16 hours). I started by standing at the open space,
which I considered to be the entrance and asked permission to enter. This was granted and as I moved into the
circle I asked what would be the most appropriate action to proceed with. I was instructed to circle the center
stone four times. As I allowed my footsteps to be guided, I found myself walking in a spiral to the center and
spiraling back out– one turn to go in, two turns to go out again, one turn to go
in again, which made four. It felt like the spiral of oneness moving in and the spiral of
duality moving out. As I stood at the center stone, I felt complete stillness and just meditated there
for a bit. I then was led to do all six mudras of the gates. This was very powerful
as I finished the sixth gate mudra!! Then I circled back out, once again it felt right to take two full
circles to spiral out. I was then told to complete the circle by becoming the 16th stone in the empty
space at the entrance. As I became the stone and closed the circle, four druid priests came in from each of the
non-cardinal directions (NE, NW, SE, SW) walking straight through the stones to
the center. They performed some kind of ritual at the center, circled and retreated by the four cardinal
directions (N, S, E, W). I remained seated and for the first time felt a heartbeat deep within the circle as if
something had been awakened. As I opened my eyes, four ravens were cavorting around in the sky h
eading off to the skyline and I felt strongly that these were indeed the four priests shapeshifted.
This was obviously a powerful
meditation and a completely new experience for me. I had the revelation that this was part
of our task as Golden-Winged Lions to take the gate energies all over the planet
and realized many of us were indeed all over Ireland at the moment spreading the
one heart. The other fantastic aspect of this circle was that another American woman showed up to also talk to
the stones. I knew I was supposed to connect with her and so began a conversation when the moment was right.
I found out that she had been part of a group working with stone cirlces in Scotland. This
conversation led me to a friend of hers on the isle of Iona that really
facilitated my healing processes there!! There are no accidents!!
The next circle I went to work
with was southwest of Cork in Roscarberry. This one was very different. Its energy was very dark and there had been a lot of bloodshed
there. One of the stones had been used as a sacrifice altar and even though the stones had not been part of the
acts, they still held the energy of them, as they had been witnesses. I did not feel like this place was ready
for all 6 mudras and so was led to simply open the one heart with one particular
stone that held the highest vibration of the circle. I sensed that this stone would be able to
uplift the others and hold the energy in some fashion to raise the vibration of the place and
begin it’s healing.
The other really profound series
of events for me were at the Hill of Tara after my return from Scotland. A friend of Mark’s, John Graham,
facilitated a wonderful experience for me there. I got to connect with the ancestors, the
angels, the fairy realms and the nature spirits (in particular the ancient
trees). It is hard for me to share a lot of this experience, as there really are no words for some aspects of
it. For other aspects they are too personal and will lose something if I try to enunciate them with words. I
will say, though, that the veil is extremely thin there and I was gifted with communication with ancient, ancient
tree spirits at an altar that serves as a transmission zone between the
worlds. For lack of a better explanation, it was very similar to the Ents of the Lord of the Rings in that
their language (if it can be called that – rather their communications) were the
most glorious song expressed ever so slowly: pure light and pure love. As I stood there, it was as if I was
buoyant and free of gravity. I could have stayed there eternally.
In my experience, the activation really started the morning of the 28th with the lunar eclipse around 8:30 a.m. in Udaipur; the sun and moon coming into harmony exactly opposite each other. We felt the shift first in the earth group which for 2 days had no cohesion, no groundedness, no stability – (This makes sense with the realization that the earth star in the core of the planet is no longer deep within, but just under the surface since the 6th gate.) and then on the morning of the eclipse we found a loving unity immediately. For the first time, the earth element dance was soft, loving, supportive and silent; a sharp veer away from the heavy, primordial, rhythmic chant style of dance it typically portrayed. This felt right as we are in the process of shifting into new ways of doing things and breaking out of old patterns.
The rest of that day and the next felt lighter, more peaceful and more joyful with new spectrums of lightness to my being. The day before the activation, as I lay by the pool, 7 huge eagles came in over the lake-bed from extreme heights up in the sky. As I watched them circle, I realized that energetically they felt like the winged lions arriving.
The day of the activation: Magnificence, refinement, splendor, ease… all the way around. It started with the “procession” from the hotel to Jagmandir, complete with marching band, elephant, camels, white stallions, horse carriages and camel carts (this part was even an hour long TV program for the locals!!) to transport us. Then came the palace itself. Solara had me prepared for roughing it. My bag was full of water bottles, extra sandals to dance on the “dirt/rock” surface, extra clothing, toilet paper, flashlight… I was even chiding myself for forgetting my pillow. What a surprise beyond my wildest imagination to discover the wonder of Jagmandir with lovely gardens, flower mandalas, candlelit courtyard, fountains, birds, a pavillion of pillows, blankets and soft cushions... It felt like Disneyland!!
And indeed it had so much magic in store for us. The evening began with the starry processional, which was followed by a stunning elements dance complete with a sun and moon dancing. Shortly after, we were served an exquisite meal in five-star style with waiters pushing in chairs and lighting the real candle-abras. And then the energies really started kicking in. We began the greater central sun dance and I think everyone felt the energies starting to build softly. The ensuing lotus dance felt them pouring in more steadily. Finally, when many people were pulled away from the circle for whatever reasons, the remaining 15-20 people rocked softly, rooted to their spots, unable (and unwilling) to move because of the magical energy flowing in at this point. In retrospect, it was almost a divine formation of so few that somehow intentionally created a magnifying lens effect for the energy flow. It was like being in the flow of a river that you can’t swim away from – powerful yet subtle, SO loving, refined, tangible – like being showered with grace and lasting several minutes.
We were off the map now – no leader, no direction, just swaying together softly, arms around each other feeling this gentle energy pouring through us and filling the earth. With my eyes half open, I lifted my hands to the sky as we transformed into the smaller circle and for the first time in my life, the blinders were lifted, the dust cleared and I could behold the vastness of the universe. For the first time, I could see the infinity beyond the moon, thus making the moon feel close enough to touch. The color of the sky was deeper and more brilliant than ever before and my being was ecstatic with expansiveness and joy. As I looked around the circle to the faces of beloved family, I could tell they were feeling it too, but part of me wanted to shout out loud “Do you see what I see?” And the nods as they caught my eye, the knowing looks on their faces, the joy beaming through their expressions told me that indeed we had just activated the 7th gate; the Diamond of the Unseen.
The energy continued to (and
still continues to) ripple in all night in a softer, more subtle way –
especially each time we danced the lotus dance. The whole palace became a dance moving
softly with these energies; people sleeping and dreaming, drifting to the tea
table, gliding over to replace guardians, being drawn to a spontaneous dance in
the circle, sitting huddled silently together in blankets watching the dancers,
the stars… the grace. Above
all of this was a magnificent moon and our guardian Orion ever present through
the whole of the night.
8th Gate Activation of the 11:11, Mallorca, Spain, 11 February, 2007
It is always so difficult to reflect back on a Master Cylinder week and find the words to
adeptly share it with others. The 8th Gate was very different for me than the
6th and 7th Gates, at which I experienced the most intense infusions of energy
during the actual Activation ceremonies when the new energies were so tangibly
anchored into the planet. During both, I was acutely aware of the actual moments
that the Gates activated. This time, however, the best way I can describe it was
that it was more of a peripheral experience during the actual “Activation”.
My breakthroughs and transformations came throughout the week of preparation with the most focused Master Cylinder Group I have yet had the pleasure of working with. I was amazed at the instant cohesion of over 130 people from over 35 countries; I was entranced by the waves of sound through the room as simultaneous translations in 6 languages echoed around us; I was in awe of such a diverse group being so intently focused and holding the energy with each dance or activity performed… They always got it the first time… and they didn’t just GET it, they brought the energy in with it… incredible. This allowed me to experience the following highlights throughout the week:
A personal breakthrough as an outside Guardian during the ever so powerful Earth-Star Dance for the first time. Each time I have been in this dance, it has been incredibly powerful and a true merging within myself. Being on the outside, though, it was like an exponential merging shared with everyone within that space. And it allowed the last piece of blockage that was in my heart, keeping me from really living in the Greater Love all the time, to disintegrate. I felt the shift with tears streaming down my face as I held the space around the dancers. That shift gave me the ability to teach from a totally different space in my Being. So, I thank each one of them for that…
I was one of those who for some reason was given information in dreams and meditations about the new form of The Elements Dance and the addition of the dragons. So, I got to experience the joy of co-creating something new with this group and like a proud parent got to watch it not only become manifest, but become a key element of this activation.
My experience on the Activation day of The Elements Dance was very different than those in the center Lotus, some of whom I heard really felt the energies anchoring in a sublime, tangible way. For me, the Water Dragon came into my body and I could feel him / her breathing and feel myself start breathing deep, raspy dragon breaths over the shoulder of the Lotus petals, wanting to see into its Heart where the White Dragon was being dreamed into Being. My head and upper body were moving like the Water Dragon would move, trying to see and trying to blow its breath to the Heart of the Lotus, as if the breath were part of the dreaming, part of the birthing. I knew each of the Dragons was present and awakened for the first time in eons for this very reason. And it was very obvious that this is part of the reason the 8th Gate will not be completed until the second half in 2008, which I am very much looking forward to.
