re: clarifications asked ...

we, our feelings, the personality of these times, are

indeed reflected in these words below -- and many

reflections of reflections, the rainbow of our complete

heartmindedness.

for though certainly in times of great change and upheaval,

of danger to the Earth, to family and community, and all

our relations as now -- we DO usually wish to find the

strength and clarity and resilience and perspective to

facilitate peace and universal respect, understanding

amongst all involved.

yet too, we have MANY personalities, seven billion of us

here, and all will approach that epiphany from their

differing natures. and this blossoming episong is NOT a

danger to all peoples, or a challenge -- and is to some a

chance to release and be carried to the center of the RIVER

of their and our wondrous change.

many of us will be carried forward simply by our ACTIONS of

love and connecting, 'perspective' present or not.

so these ~WONDERFUL~ words of loving responsibility below,

gift of perspective and calming, are but a great light

revealing of our personalities and these times -- that we

may discover the MANY facets of our refining beings --

and move forward into this great unknown of our new

beginnings ...

in the embrace of ALL our ancestors,

the comforting company of ALL our relations,

Greetings,

With all the frightening upheaval taking

place in our world right now, I journeyed

to the Grandmothers to ask what those of

us who wish to serve at this time can do.

Judith.

"Speak out," they replied, "but speak from

a position of power. Never speak in anger,"

they said, "but hold a sacred space, stand

proudly in it and speak. If you cannot maintain

equilibrium and hold a sacred space, do not

speak," they said. "Do not contribute to the

present agitation in the world. Speak in wisdom,

speak of peace and most important, be peaceful.

But until you are peaceful, hold, live, and

breathe a sacred space and do not speak,

they said.

"Whenever you catch yourself going into anger

or fear, stop what you are doing, retreat inside

yourself and call on us. These times you are

living in are a great test for you," the Grand-

mothers said, nodding seriously. "Everywhere

you look now you see the excessive energy of

the masculine ways running amok. It pulls and

grabs at whatever stands in its path, and it

is greedy, always greedy for more. It would

like to attach itself to you too," they said.

"It would like to whip you into a frenzy too

but being whipped into a frenzy will simply

feed the run away energy of masculine ways

that are out of control, " they said.

"As the energy of masculine ways gets more

out of control it becomes seductive and smart.

But," they each said, holding up one finger,

"whenever you find yourself losing your peace,

losing your sense of rooted-ness, and your

stance of power, retreat!" they said, holding

up their hands. "Think of your original

decision to claim a sacred space and hold,

hold, hold it," they said.

"Call on us," they said. "We will fill and

anchor you until you become a colossus, a

beacon of light that radiates sacred space.

Ommm," the Grandmothers chanted together.

"Your commitment to hold a sacred space is

like the om. The stance you take will resound

deep high, far wide; it will reverberate

within and without. It will anchor the Web of

Life in colors of Light that strengthens the

elements of Being within the planet.

"What is happening in your world now will

test you. All you have previously been taught

and have experienced, " they sighed, "has come

from a out of balance masculine perspective.

Because of this, at a time like this you wish

to do something good. We tell you, 'Be good.

Be good.' Be yourself and live rooted in the

Divine. Be this," they smiled and covered me

with their shawls. "The winds of change will

try to pull you left and right, knock you

this way and that. This masculine energy is

running crazed at this moment and inciting

all to riot.

"Do not blow with the winds," they said,

"but hold, hold a sacred space. When you

feel yourself steady, and then speak. Speak

what comes to you at such times and give

voice to the words that arise. What you say

then will be right. You needn't calculate

or plan it before hand.

"At all times call on the Divine and pray

for all beings. 'Let everyone in all the

words be happy," they said. "Pray this over

and over again or say other prayers that you

love; recite the lines that bring you comfort.

Such prayers hold power and do enormous good.

Hold a sacred space and call on us. We have

told you before and we remind you now that

often what seems to be wrong in your world

bears within itself the seeds of right. Things

are not as they seem," the Grandmothers said.

"An enormous shift is taking place now-the

shifting of feminine and masculine. You are

called to a great work, to help anchor the

message we have brought. As you do this, you

will infuse your planet with the steadying

energy of gentle feminine energy. This will

happen whenever you open to the feminine side

and hold a sacred space. This war is not as

important as the work you have been given,"

they said and I stared. "There have been

thousands upon thousands of wars in the past,"

they said, "and now war has come again. "We

will not abandon you," they said, "but

"hold, hold, hold, and they intoned.

Hold a sacred space.

Do not forget the commitment of your heart,

your commitment to be at one with the Divine,

to live in communion with the Divine. Hold

steady," they said, "and then if you feel

drawn to action, go-as long as you can hold

a sacred space. When you are at a gathering,

pray. The good that goes out from prayers

like this, sent in the midst of a crowd is

immeasurable. But if at any time you find your

self becoming angry and losing your center,

withdraw until once again you hold that

timeless sacred space.

"Each time you choose to hold this space your

stance will get stronger. You'll get stronger,"

the Grandmothers laughed. "At first you will

catch yourself slipping in and out of holding

sacred space especially Slipping out," they

laughed again. "When that happens," they said,

"return to your commitment to be at one with

the Divine, no matter what. This is the Desire

of your heart. This is why you took the vow

to hold the sacred space.

"We will help you develop radar and alert you

when you're getting caught in the coils of

masculine energy. When you become aware of this,

call on us and we will bring you home to sacred

space. This is your home," they said, nodding

and smiling.

"Holding this space feeds life," they said;

"and this is your work." They dusted their palms

as if to say, 'that's all there is to it.'

"Becoming a home place others can resonate to,"

they said, " will help them. When you stand in

sacred space, you create a center of calm. Seeing

your example, others can more easily calm, center,

and come home themselves. But without your work,

without something steady to relate to, they will

be unable to remember who they are."

"Enter into any activity that calls you," they said.

"It is your heart calling you, after all. This work

is our mission, and you have enlisted in our mission.

We love you deeply and we will support you." "We

will always help you." I saw the depth of love in

their eyes and choked up. I was not accustomed to

anyone looking at me like that.

"Be aware that the pressure and pull of excessive

out of control masculine way is great now," they

said. "For a long time earth has known nothing

but this pulling. All your conditioning has taught

you to live in a masculine out of balanced world.

"Recently, however, you have come to know the

steadying power of feminine and now it is time

for you to live more in this place of gentleness

At all times you can rely upon us," the Grandmothers

said; "and upon the deep wellspring of the feminine

within yourself. We bless you. We bless you,

We Bless You."
