2017-07-11 15.33.28

Well, we are half way through the month of July and here on the Maine Coast it is a wonderful time to embrace nature and Her abundance.  These two beauties were alongside a road calling out to be photographed.

It has certainly been a very energetic month which has brought me deeper into myself in aspects I was not suspecting. Perhaps all of us have touched some areas which we thought we would never see again.

This process of emerging out of the density to be seen is truly a gift of our evolution.
Each of us are (Re) evaluating our self and the values we have thought were important but no longer can be carried within us into the future Self.

So my thoughts may be a bit random here but at least it starts the Month with Emergence.

Week One...
7.3.17
Emergence is a wonderful reminder of how we are always a part of a greater whole which is in a process of “self-transformation”. It happens through a timeline and is marked by inner revelations and just a moment in the process of evolution.

7.6.17
Careful Consideration of all opportunities appearing or being presented is what is necessary at this time.

I’m reminded of the saying, “All that glitters is not gold” and that what we are offered sometimes is not always what is best for our hearts and souls.

So be wise and know that your true path is what is most important right now and let the distractions be the yellow caution signs that tell us to carefully proceed in full awareness.

Week Two…
7.10.17
Today this the question arose…”Are you feeling Joy or Apprehension in what you are doing?”

The next message was “If it feels like work …it is work!”

Let us all begin to balance better these two energies as we move forward into our New Perspectives of Self.

7.13.17
How our misunderstandings have brought us to this moment is becoming clearer every day. The clouds are dissipating as the waters of the clouds change form once again

7.15.17
Letting go completely we can begin to understand that the energies were never meant to be held captive.

7.15.17
It is funny how we have removed so many of the non-resonant frequencies not only within ourselves but in the greater collective field. Each one of us transmuting back to their original blueprints in so many highly creative ways. Yes we are the placeholders as well as the transmitters and when all is aligned we will joyously rise in love indeed much as we are now by sharing deeply from the heart our divine passions.

7.15.17
We each have a unique place to fill and it takes many different adjustments to have the dance become one with the music.

7.16.17
Wholeness of the Heart is what we are seeking and moving into. The mind has been corrupted and the only way to repair it is through the heart.

7.16.17
You know my passion for the Water and I see it in all its aspects as the delivery system of all life in its purest form.
It is that purity which dissolved the wicked one and we are now dissolving the wickedness that has poisoned the Water.
We are the Purity of Heart and remembering it more every day.

Water Blessings and Dragonflies

Full Moon July 9th, 2017

Full Moon Water Blessings are now a part of my monthly practice which I have committed to as Riverman. Mostly I work with rivers, yet all water is sacred to me as I have reconnected to it in a spiritual manner and at a deeper level than I could ever have imagined.

During this Full Moon evening there was a group telephone call where I joined in heart resonance with others along the shoreline of the Fox River in Illinois.

The next day I was at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire where I did a Water Blessing ceremony and placed crystals in the water near Diamond Island. As I was on the back of a Jet Ski to place them, the driver told me a story… that where I wanted to place the first crystal the US Navy conducted secret experiments in the early 1950’s. One of those later developed into what we now take for granted as laser technology.

I am always guided to place crystals in the water for healing, cleaning and clearing.
So who really knows what happened there!

Royal River, Yarmouth Maine

On the next day my very dear friend Tina and I went to Bless a river that I had asked her to choose.
She chose the Royal River in Yarmouth Maine, which was named after an early European settler and because of the rapid current and falls it became a Mill River in the 1700-1800’s.

The picture above was our first glimpse as we approached the amazing roar that spoke of its history and joy to be free at this spot, where from 1865 to 1923 the Forest Paper Company that turned 10’s of thousands of cords of wood into soda pulp.

The Forest Paper Company

Today a there is a beautiful park where the ducks and geese can live in balance with nature once again. Only some brick and stone remnants of the buildings and waterways are visible as the whole complex burned to the ground in 1923.

And then the Dragonfly appears…
The dragonfly lives most of its early life in water as a nymph. Then one day it finds a plant and climbs out of the water knowing air and sunlight for the first time.

A new life begins as it becomes a creature of the air in a body of which it had no previous awareness… a perfect transmutation of form and function.

This particular Dragonfly landed on my left hand as I was opening the field of resonance for the River Blessing we were about to do.

Calling on the Four Directions, the Elementals and many others and asking permission to perform this blessing I felt it land. I asked Tina to take a look as she was now standing a little to the left and in front to me without stopping my invocation.
The Dragonfly remained there throughout it all as if confirming that our intentions were well received.

I feel the Dragonfly was blessing the waters within Tina and I in a  divine synchronicity, saying Thank You for coming to our river home.

Thank You Tina, for taking these pictures which will memorialize this day for both of us, as one in which we were perfectly aligned in purpose with all of Nature.

Two completely opened hearts uniting as One for the highest good of all.

From these rocks we stood and gave our Blessing and Clearing placing crystals in a Sacred Pattern so that the energy would remain and build its own field of Peace, Light and Love for the future water which will travel this along this way.

~~~~~~Riverman~~~~~~

As a Council member of Loving Waters during the Full Moon we invite those who are able, to create or participate in a Water Blessing Ceremony expressing Gratitude.

Those Blessings that are public we place on our Calendar Page.

Loving Waters

Visit our web page or find us on Facebook but most importantly show up at the waters and share your gratitude for we like the dragonflies began in water before we had new life in the air and sunshine.

After The Thunder Moon

Good Morning World

There are mornings which are perfect and this one is for me.
As I walk out with Lillybelle my Lab/Pointer mix dog and turn at the end of my driveway, the Peace of this morning hits me.

The Birch Tree asks me to stop and receive a message that all things have changed overnight.
The Thunderstorms gave way to the Thunder Moon shining through the remnants, of those heavy laden clouds which carried so much water.
Blessing us with each drop and the wonderful vibratory nature of Sky and Earth embracing.

As I continued my walk everything seemed surreal. The birds singing, the moisture on the blades of grass glistening and the sense of calm and wonder combined.

I looked to the sky and was instantly taken within myself, as I noticed there was not a cloud in sight. A slight haze near the horizon being created, as the moisture evaporates and changes form in this amazing cycle of Living Breathing Earth.

So I took a picture looking Southwest and Northwest with the Sun beaming down on my back and felt such Grace and Gratitude that I knew I had to share it with each of you.

May your day be Blessed in ways that only Pachamama, the Great Mother Goddess can express.
Know you are loved,
that you are love
and that Gratitude and Grace
are like Thunder and Lighting…
The True Light and Sound
which are gifts to be sought
within our hearts
as well as experienced
outside of our bodies.

Emergence

03 Monday Jul 2017

Emergence.JPG
Emergence is a wonderful reminder of how we are always a part of a greater whole which is in a process of “self-transformation”.
It happens through a timeline and is marked by inner revelations and just a moment in the process of evolution.

So I ask myself today…
How am I emerging?
What is emerging?
Can I emerge and integrate into a world which is frightened of evolving?

Now with a deep breath…
Yes, it is just as easy as how the perennial flowers reappear each year with slight variations and yet have somehow moved into a new space in the garden.

We are continually planting seeds within our self which will wait until the perfect moment to arise.
The emergence of which is marked along a wave of time which is not only influenced by the energetic environment yet also has an awareness of its Self.

I’m often reminded that much like Hansel and Gretel we have been this way before and planted seeds instead of leaving breadcrumbs to find our way home.

So let us look for those unique markers along the way which call us to stand still for a moment and catch up to our own evolutionary processes.
Perhaps they will trigger unpleasant memories or energy that is no longer compatible with our present energetic fields.
Perhaps flashes of joy and laughter at our foolishness will come forth.

Yet in this stillness allow ourselves to breath deeply and release it all, to thank it for showing up and reminding us it is no longer in resonance with our hearts.
Then let us transmute it back into its original forms so that it too may evolve once again for the better purpose of co-creative alignment rather than separation.

Emergence is to not only show up, it is to fully embrace who we are in each moment and fully accept the challenges it represents.

Thoughts and Quotes #15

27 Tuesday Jun 2017

2017-06-23 08.52.24
For those of you who now know me a little better it is my purpose to anchor Peace, Light and Love into all living forms here on Earth.

On Solstice 6. 21.17 I had the pleasure of spontaneously blessing some water in Salem, NH at America’s Stonehenge.

Together with friends from distant parts of the USA who had invited me to gather with them, we walked the land and were blessed in the vortex of energy which others walked through but did not feel.

There was not much writing getting done that week as it was all a guided and experiential adventure of energy and spirit. 

So, I present these 2 writings from the day before the Solstice…

6.20.17
It is the waters which are always moving through the cycles of transformation from solid to liquid to vapor which are the channels of our emotions. As we begin to see how all water is crystalline in structure we can effectively change their alignments and free ourselves from the cyclical energies which they both create and represent.

As you record these cycles speak to the water within you as you would in blessing a child who is unaware of what it is creating in its environment.

6.20.17
In the records of time and space
we are gathered in brief moments
crossing and intertwining as gridlines
continually plotting and charting
cleaning and clearing
creating and restoring
the energies of Peace, Light and Love
20170621_133742_resized

Standing in my masculine energy at the Summer Solstice Sunrise alignment stone, in Salem NH, both connecting and acknowledging the center of the Earth and Stonehenge in England.
The lines of connection mimicking somewhat the Stone whose point I rest my hand on as Stonehenge in England at Summer Solstice and the other point as Newgrange which marks the return of the Sun at Winter Solstice.

AM Stonehenge to newgrange and stonehenge.jpg

And so the energies of this amazing and long-held as powerful gateway flowing into and combining with the New Moon played within my own energy fields.
Bringing both ancestral and future evolutionary energies into our awareness at levels that are challenging to fully describe…

6.22.17
Feeling overwhelmed is a natural part of our experience in physical form.

Two questions may arise…

What is it that is being felt and Why overwhelmed?

When we decide to ask for support we are really acknowledging that we have become separated from our True Self and need to be reminded to come back to center.

I now leave you with the last picture taken and I don’t really know how, when or exactly where it got taken.  Other than there it is and other pictures which I took that day were not on the camera when I got home.
Nor of what it is other than an amazing sense of Oneness with so many who I felt were so very near me throughout each moment of the Magical Day on planet Earth.

New Moon and Freewill

24 Saturday Jun 2017

Tags

, , , , , ,

0f545-refractedlightWith the New Moon energies stirring the waters of my E-nergy-Motion this article reminded me of the importance of what we have labelled Free Will.

I say labelled as this it what we have done for thousands of years in our attempt to rule and govern each other by the use of language.

It brought to mind several issues in which all of us are now feeling separation and trying to influence others to align with us without respecting their freewill.

Freewill starts by listening deeply and then finding the source of the other person’s energetic alignment. Then we can process the energy behind the words and choose how to proceed personally.

We are releasing so much pain and suffering from thousands of years of control that it is a serious challenge to not align or be triggered by others.

Yet we must now be diligent in coming back into our center before we take action. Lest we perpetuate violating our own sovereignty for the sake of belonging or being in agreement with each other.

~ Riverman 6.24.17

The Importance of Being Free

June 24, 2017 by

I just see, more and more each day, how critically important it is for me to respect the free will of others.It cannot be that all we’re about is ourselves moving forward with our projects and getting ahead. It has to be that some among us are about helping others to get ahead. (1)

It cannot be that all we’re about is controlling events to get what we want. We have to allow others control over their own destiny.

If you were to ask me which Universal Law I’d like to specialize in, I’d have to say the Law of Free Will.  Matthew Ward defined it as follows:

“The law of free will is a cosmic law decreeing that it is the birthright of all souls to choose their pathway toward or away from spiritual enlightenment.” (2)

On another occasion, he added:

“All souls have free will regardless of their evolvement status, whether living in spirit worlds or physical civilizations, or their location in the universe.” (3)

We violate each other’s free will so often and in such a mundane manner that I’ll bet we don’t notice it. It becomes part of what Werner called the background of obviousness.

Telling another what they should do. Implying that what they’re doing is ill-advised or wrong-headed.  Asking them “why” they’re doing what they’re doing in cases where we don’t like what they’re doing.  Gumming up their machinery, diverting them, withdrawing support – on and on go the strategems of control.

I think of what Hilarion taught us some years ago on the matter:

“Each individual has the right to express and act on their own inner convictions of what they feel is the right thing to do and it behooves everyone to begin to respect each other no matter what the diversity of their opinions and convictions are. Everyone has the right of free-will choice because you live on a free-will planet and that is what it means to live on a free-will planet!” (4)

What exactly does he mean by exercising free-will choice? He explains:

“It is the right of each individual to access their internal sovereignty and use their Divine wisdom and knowledge to make free-will choices in that which they feel is the right and good thing to do. Because opinions differ does not mean that those you oppose are less than you – all it means is that they walk to a different beat. All that means is that they have taken the time to go within and choose that which they believe is the right choice to make.” (5)

In these times especially, it becomes critical to allow others to follow their own star, he says.

“These current times are all about choosing to follow your own star, to walk in joy, to do those things that bring you joy, that bring you happiness. It is not required that you need the outer world to dictate to you what can bring that joy to you, it is all within you and it has always been within you – for that is where the Divine lives – within you!” (6)

I wonder what kind of a world it would be if we paid as much attention to respecting each other’s free will as the celestials and galactics pay attention to respecting ours?

Well, a peaceful world for a start. All dictatorial regimes have taken away free will as soon as they had the barest claim to power. And so many couples in relationships seem to want to saddle each other and break each other to the bit.

When will we let go of all notions of control save those that are totally necessary? (2) When will we see that our advice, “shoulds,” and opinions are not really what the situation requires. Listening would be a start. Respecting the freewill of another? Now that would be an innovation.

There’s a whole new curriculum I’ll be studying in the years ahead. And the very first entry on it is Free Will 101.

Footnotes

(1) Service to self vs. service to self and others.

(2) Like in emergency services.

Thoughts and Quotes #14

2017-06-15 16.32.17
How wonderful our imagination is that every moment can become playful and detachable from our roles and concerns of daily life.

On a walk recently I came upon this tree and it felt almost as if I could wear it as a cloak. That somehow I could wrap it around me and become something unimaginable yet complete and whole.

How much more wonderful is Nature which despite our continued predatory behavior towards it still invites to come and play.
6.20.17

Here are a few more daily messages from my Higher Self to You

6.13.17
In this Newness of Awakening we are to forgive our selves.
We are Love and in that moment
We are each other.
We are not separated by any guilt or pain, fear or suffering.
Find that which is a stone in your hearts and melt it with forgiveness.

6.14.17
Elders and Ancestors are energetically not separable.
As we age in any lifetime we are known as Elders if we share our wisdom and many of you are now becoming aware that You are the Ancestors.
Unleash carefully the secrets you are keeping from yourself and bring them forth to release them.
We Are Love and remembering.

6.14.17
We Are Indeed more powerful and sovereign when we truly open our hearts and unite as the Love We Are.
Walking away from greed and jealousy ends fear and need, all of which are only temporary and illusive blockages to the Light You Are.
Let us all recognize it in its many forms and transmute it within our physical forms.

6.15.17
Your Spiritual gifts are to radiate outward from your High Heart, your Inner Sun.
Allow them to  dance upon the Waters and become the gifts that others will be inspired by.

6.16.17
You are the Magic and We are Love
Every moment is an opportunity
to experience life in truth

6.17.17
Here lie childhood memories
gently held within the water
Return to those places
gently forgiving that very old child
Making peace with the water within you.

6.18.17
Many times we ask for and seek Love outside of ourselves.
It then approaches us in many forms from which we choose and question,
“Is this Love?”.
All the time we hide that We Are Love and deny its presence.
Let us stop playing Hide and Seek!

6.19.17
This morning I was recognizing that we are co-creators of abundance in many ways. That the credit for the abundance is relative to the whole, not the individual.
In the beginning we shared it all without fear or judgment because we were all fully visible to each other.
Nothing was hidden or separated out for individual use or glory. True power is shared for the benefit of all from the Heart not the mind.

6.20.17
2017-06-19 13.00.48
As I now prepare for Summer Solstice…
Let there be Grace and may it fill you with it’s Peace, Light and Love.

Father’s Day 2017

18 Sunday Jun 2017

Tags

, , ,

“Is fatherhood a popularity contest?”
Perhaps some of us fail as Fathers because our own did not teach us by example what fatherhood requires.

My own father was not able to show emotion because he was robbed of his childhood by his father. He was angry at having to become a father figure to his 9 younger siblings at the age of 14, having his education stolen from him to step into a role that was not his to play.

Yet, as I a child I had no real knowledge of that.
I was not supposed to know his pain.

He was 41 and my mother 38 and had they been told that she was not able to bear children.
I was originally diagnosed as a possible life-threatening tumor and in many ways I have been that over my almost 70 years here.

My failure as a father was seeded in this drama as my desire to please and receive love failed repeatedly to reach through the walls he built to protect himself.

I say failure as a father only in the fact that it was not about my ability to love but to live up to expectations that were created by my own wanting to please and receive paternal love as a child.

The damage was passed on in a total state of unawareness with my own daughter being born when I was 18 years old.

As much as I loved my daughter she could not understand that the paternal pattern which she was born into was damaged many lifetimes ago. Nor did I understand that either.

So this is a release for me as I will not win the Most Loved Dad Award
On this day or any day in this lifetime.
Yet I know that I loved you Shannon
more than anything in life
You were the sunshine in my life
until the clouds became too thick
the storms too frequent
the downpour of tears became floods
and the separation could not be avoided
by either one of us

Perhaps in another space or lifetime we will reconcile our differences and be able to listen to each other.

We are not that different from each other and I hope you are at Peace today.
Thank You for all that you are… wherever you are
You Are Love my dear child and can pretend to be anything you want
I honor that in you

Here lie childhood memories
gently held within the water
Return to those places
gently forgiving that very old child
Making peace with the water within you.
~Riverman

Greetings and Blessings to All… As a member of the council of  LovingWaters
I will be adding a category here for Loving Waters which has both a website and a Facebook page so please visit us there as we step into Phase 2 of our journey to inspire others to honor all waters through ceremony and blessings as well as becoming active in your communities for its protection.

This is the Winnekenni Basin where as a small boy I fished and chased frogs and turtles.
This is my reflection in the water listening deeply as I remember those days of  young innocence.

Oh how a 12-year-old boy romps through nature without regard for his surroundings.
Trying on his masculine energy that he was so rapidly moving into.  Seeing little of his future and much less the chaos he was creating in the moment, for his elders were not there to teach him.

Now he is the Elder and must recognize that his teaching others to respect the water was not always held as a value.
As each of us have now grown to be wiser and see our own lifetime of behaviors…
We find that we have collectively led humanity to a dangerous world where Water has now become a commodity. It is sickened and polluted, bought and sold and fought over without regard for its intrinsic value to all living organisms.

So as this Elder was transformed to into a young boy again, the water reminded him of his youthful damage. The water was holding it all in memory just as we do in our own bodies.
The water was not angry but wanted to have that memory released and so the boy forgave all whose actions and understanding failed and was forgiven in return.

In one tiny moment of thankfulness and blessing both the human and the water became whole and could now play as children again without regrets but in a true resonance.

Every time we Bless the Water we are also Blessing the water within us and erasing the memory of separation.
