Rainbow

The Inner Way of each human Being is a Rainbow Path.

Those of us who walk the Rainbow Path are called by many Names– Witch, Shaman, Taltos, Heyoka, Volva, Mudang, Nuru, Ngakma, Machi, Miko, Satkhu…

The Names don’t matter really, because they all describe the same thing: a Being who is smart enough and skilled enough and open enough to walk the Rainbow Path, to connect with the Energies and Presences she meets there, and to bring help and knowledge from the Inner World into exterior manifestation.

Walking the Rainbow Path can sometimes be a little tricky, but it is not difficult. In fact, all human Beings are physically and psychically set up to naturally walk the Path. Oh, and I can hear the questions now– ‘Why don’t all people then walk the Path? Why isn’t every person a Witch/Shaman/etc.?’

To which I respond, ‘What did I just say? Every person already IS a Shaman…’

Let the Water of this understanding seep down a little and then take a sip. The fact of Universal Shamanism is why all religions have at least partial functionality. It does not come from the ‘truth’ that any individual religion teaches, but rather from the innate Inner Connectedness to Source that is in each individual practitioner. This is why heartfelt prayer– the Sacred Inner manifesting to the outer– can heal illness, as well as why one will never see miracles in churches– which invest ‘authority’ in the outer (priests and preachers) and waste time and energy following the external at the expense of individual Inner Connectedness.

Remember that I observed that the Rainbow Path is not difficult to walk, yet it can be tricky. It is pure Power that cannot be perceived– let alone accessed– via a power-trip; great Energy which, when approached energetically, vanishes utterly. It cannot be lied to, twisted, or controlled. S’He just IS. And when one ’stops the outside’ to go within, the View is astonishing.

‘God’ and ‘Devil’ are little human lies.

GODIS (Generating Orgasmic Divine Intrinsic Source), on the other hand, is Everything/-place/-one, and is so ubiquitous and fundamentally weirder-than-alien that S’He requires…

Every blade of grass, every flower, every seed on every individual wheat stalk growing in every farmed field that has ever existed on Earth,

Every individual bird, fish, dinosaur, elephant, sea anemone, squid, sequoia tree, human, turtle, lemur, bat, emerald crystal, flatworm, barnacle, and cricket that has ever existed on Earth,

Every drop of rain that has ever fallen in every single storm that has ever blown across the Earth,

Every river, every mountain range, every particle of dirt, every grain of sand that makes up the Earth,

Every individually unique snowflake that has ever drifted down since snow began to fall on Earth,

Every individual blood and skin cell of every individual living creature/Being that has ever moved upon the Earth,

In order to begin to fully express Hir uniqueness, and that’s just on this planet, for starters. S’He also requires…

Every other habitable planet and complete biosphere in every galaxy in the Cosmos, every star in every galaxy in the Cosmos, every hydrogen molecule, photon, x-ray, oxygen atom, plasma-cloud, comet, and asteroid in space, as well as the structure of spacetime itself in order to begin to fully express Hir uniqueness in just this particular Universe. And there may be many, many other Universes out there besides the one in which we currently exist as corporeal Beings. That is how vast, fractal, inconceivable and fundamentally non-Earth-human GODIS is.

And yet, if one is troubled or in need of help, and one sets foot on the Rainbow Path, S’He is there waiting within you, willing whatever form– or change of form– you need for your sustenance and wellbeing. You don’t even have to ask, because S’He is perfectly Self-Aware, waiting to Play serenely with you, to Co-Create…

To have this wonder, there is one thing that needs to be freely given up, and no, it is not your Self, because S’He gave that to you in likeness of Hir. It is simply that you give up looking for Source anywhere but within yourself, that you must relinquish self-held ideas and self-performed actions which block the full expression of Divine Source to– and through– you.

From where I sit, Jesus was a powerful Shaman. He knew something very important and he brought it out into this world from within himself. The second-rate con-artists who call themselves his ‘followers’ in this day and age have focused on endlessly recreating the trauma of his murder so that some very important things he said, and which were/are inconvenient for power-trippers of all stripes, could be swept under the rug with no one the wiser:

When Jesus worked miracles, he did not say, ‘I am doing all this because I am so great and you are all just worms compared to me.’

He said, ‘All this shall you do, and more,’ and ‘Go Thou and do likewise.’ He knew, as a Shaman, that what made him able to do what he did was the Divine hardwiring to Source that is present in each and every Being that exists, because GODIS made EVERYTHING that Way.

And this is why religions, governments, and assorted other rapists rant and abuse and kill– they try to make their victims Self-afraid, so that they will fear to turn within, because if people do, they will leave the way of pain and step onto the Rainbow Path. They will be Shamans, and they will be free, and the ones who abuse and are afraid to go inside themselves will be alone in the world, because the only way to go to Source is by yourself, within yourself.

No one else but you can get your ego-Camel through the Inward-facing Eye-of-the-Needle of Existence.

The shedding of blood brings no power, no salvation. Killing two doves and a white bullock in a temple, or burning witches at the stake, or nailing an inconvenient and Spiritually awakened individual to a cross does not erase bad karma. It increases it.

Those who have the most material goodies are in the most dire trouble; the ‘I am rich because I deserve to be’ mantra of the meritocracy is third-rate cargo-cult superstition and a lie.

There is but one Truth waiting for each person on the Rainbow Path. It is both Complex and Simple just as each person is both Complex and Simple.

GODIS is waiting for You.

S’He is Complex– in Hir limitless Bodies, Minds, and Experiences– just as You are Complex in your individual Body and single Mind and personal Experiences. It’s a fractal, a hologram, and yet, it is also Simple:

You and S’He are old, old Lovers going way back.

You and Source are Equal.

This is why most people instinctively understand that all Being is fundamentally Sacred– Everything that is, is Source. And it is not grandiose to assert You are GODIS, because the fact is, You are. It is only grandiose to assert that You are the Only One Who is GODIS, and then attempt to forcibly deny access to Hir to anyone else by labelling as ‘evil’ the Divinity each person carries, and which mirrors Your own.

The Shaman’s Truth is that Everything is Alive, Sacred and Related.

A Rainbow cannot be killed.

Song in my Hand

Light Turtle Friend drew a picture on my left hand while I was in meditation this morning. The lines he drew were beautiful, shimmering and pulsing with blue lights and fleeting rainbows of color. Turquoise triangles flitted outwards along my fingers, and in the center of my palm was a circle with triangles around it, resembling a lotus. I asked Light Turtle Friend why he had drawn what he did, and he said that all he had done was to trace the path of the energy that was already there. He said that the Water in my flesh was singing, and that all he had to do was to follow the song. ‘That is what you are seeing,’ he said. ‘It is the Healing Song of Water, which you always carry with you in your left hand.’

I turned my hand over, and the lines flowed over the back of my hand, making the same design that Light Turtle Friend had drawn in my palm. The blueness and the rainbows flickered, and a Flower of Light opened out of my hand in two directions: through the back and through the palm.

Light Turtle Friend smiled at me, and said, ‘Remember, Akkarri, you are Working from a clean slate. You have discovered that just about everything that the people of Earth take for ’self-evident knowledge’ is utterly wrong. This understanding applies not only to the external sciences, but also to the Inner Cosmos. Just because a philosophical tradition is old, that does not necessarily mean it is correct. Just as you now understand that trying to correlate any two pairs of oppositional or complementary qualities in the world around you is meaningless, it is time for you to apply this same knowledge inwardly, to the microcosm of your body.’

I looked down at the roiling, sheeting rainbows pouring out of my left hand, and I suddenly understood. ‘The idea of Yin and Yang is just as wrong inside of me as it is outside of me,’ I said.

Light Turtle Friend smiled broadly. ‘And so you come Home to the Star Turtle-People within as well as without, because you understand that you give with both hands, and you take with both hands. Healing cannot be accomplished by dividing the body or the Consciousness. Being is Wholeness, and any ’system’ which attempts to impose a rigid dualism of order on it is both practicing delusion and fostering illness. While it is true that pairs exist, there is no stasis of identity involved in the pairing– they may be pairs of opposites, complements, or identicals. There is also no stasis of position. Everything moves, turning– electrical currents, galaxies, tornadoes…’

‘Which is why my DNA spirals?’

“Yes. And just as your DNA has two mutually interconnecting strands that cannot be understood as ‘one active, one passive’ or ‘one female, one male’, so does the energy-flow that makes up your body spiral also. The idea that ‘half of your body’ is ‘active’ and ‘the other half’ is ‘passive’ is incorrect. Equating the two ‘halves’ to sexual duality doubles the error, and attributing a static position to ‘channels’ so labelled squares the fallacy.’

‘So it’s all dancing– everything, including me– I am Wholeness-in-Motion.’

‘And your Wholeness is singing…’

‘But what is the Song?’

‘It is the Song of Water, the Song of Divine Love and Healing. Understand this, Akkarri, all Energy sings the Song.’

‘And that’s why AUM, and mantras, and singing bowls, and drums, and human music, and birdsong, and the sounds of water splashing are so primally appealing and healing?’

‘Yes, all Energy sings the Song so that the rainbow of all Beings may dance the Dance. And now I will ask you a question. If you carry the Healing Song of Water in your left hand, what do you carry in your right?’

‘The hands of other Beings, so that the Song may be passed to them and shared with them in Peace. And when I hold another hand in my right hand, the Song of Water passes into that hand to them. Then my left hand will be free to reach for another hand to hold and to share with, and the Song will pass back to it. In this way, I will take with both hands, and give likewise.’

‘You have Sung the answer of Sentience, Akkarri. May you have Peace this day.’

As the rest of my day unfolded today, I ran across the following article while visiting LiveScience.com. I have redacted the article slightly by removing the obligatory debunking-opinion of the ‘regulation’ mainstream scientist the writer of the article felt it necessary to include. In my reading of the article, it seemed to serve no purpose other than passing an unneeded dismissive judgement upon the content of the new theory because it didn’t square up with the ‘official version’ of The Way Things Are. I removed the commentary in the interests of allowing the proponents of the new theory to have their say without ‘officialdom’ interrupting every two seconds to say why ‘this just can’t be so’. If you, good reader, feel the need of parsing the article with the editorial commentary added, you can visit the LiveScience site. Anyway, here is the article in all its synchronicity, given the subject matter of my meditation this morning:

Nerves Transmit Sound, Not Electricity

Nerves transmit sound waves through your body, not electrical pulses, according to a controversial new study that tries to explain the longstanding mystery of how anesthetics work.

Textbooks say nerves use electrical impulses to transmit signals from the brain to the point of action, be it to wag a finger or blink an eye.

“But for us as physicists, this cannot be the explanation,” says Thomas Heimburg, a Copenhagen University researcher whose expertise is in the intersection of biology and physics. “The physical laws of thermodynamics tell us that electrical impulses must produce heat as they travel along the nerve, but experiments find that no such heat is produced.”

Nerves are wrapped in a membrane of lipids and proteins. Biology textbooks say a pulse is sent from one end of the nerve to the other with the help of electrically charged salts that pass through ion channels in the membrane. But the lack of heat generation contradicts the molecular biological theory of an electrical impulse produced by chemical processes, says Heimburg, who co-authored the new study with Copenhagen University theoretical physicist Andrew Jackson.

Instead, nerve pulses can be explained much more simply as a mechanical pulse of sound, Heimburg and Jackson argue. Their idea will be published in the Biophysical Journal.

Normally, sound propagates as a wave that spreads out and becomes weaker and weaker. But in certain conditions, sound can be made to travel without spreading and therefore it retains its intensity.

The lipids in a nerve membrane are similar to olive oil, the scientists explain. And the membrane has a freezing point that is precisely suited to the propagation of these concentrated sound pulses.

The idea from Heimburg and Jackson, if it were proven true, could have implication for anesthetics, another mysterious process.

Oddly, scientists don’t understand exactly what happens when a patient is anesthetized. While the goal of an anesthetic is to prevent the brain from feeling pain, the drugs can affect a patient’s heart rate and breathing. So a better understanding of how it all works would allow development of better drugs.

Researchers do know that the proper doses of ether, laughing gas, chloroform and other anesthetics are all based on their solubility in olive oil. But how the nerves are turned off is a mystery.

Heimburg and Jackson offer an explanation.

If a nerve is to be able to transport sound pulses, they say, then the melting point of its membrane must be close to body temperature. Anesthetics change the melting point so that sound pulses can’t propagate, they conclude. Nerves are put on stand-by and a patient doesn’t feel the knife slicing into his body.

Of course, experiments will need to be conducted and so on, so that mainstream types can get their heads around the ‘new paradigm’, which mockingbirds, symphony orchestras, chanting monks, splashing fountains, keening winds and my doorbell all naturally and holographically express:

Everything Sings the Song.
