My heart is going out to the world today, for Eastern Oregon, for Hawaii, and for Colombia. For all those affected by natural disasters. I know the feeling of waking up to the destruction of a place you lived, played, and loved. We are in the time that many wisdomkeepers prophesied, a time of Earth changes and renewal. This is the Pachakuti, the end of Kali Yuga, the beginning of the fifth flame. A time when things must come to the surface, a time when things must change. To move through these changes with less suffering, we must see that an open heart is more powerful and wise than a clenched fist. We must understand that what happens to one affects us all. This is everyone's home. We cannot allow what has dominated this Earth plane to continue in relentless destruction. The Kogi say that the more we desecrate and degrade our sacred sites, whether it is by industry or politics, it does not matter; the more we will experience worsening storms and catastrophic events of nature. This is because we have disrupted the natural functioning of Gaia. This is the Earth Guardian wisdom to know how to become an agent of restoration and a force for harmony. The Earth Guardian wisdom will not stop all the changes coming our way, but it can support a healthier ecosystem and sow seeds for a deeper understanding of sacred ecology, so perhaps we can teach others how to build in harmony with our sacred planet. I say this because I have seen how quickly the environment can restore under sacred ecology stewardship; this is why it is my passion to share the shamanic wisdom. We have power when we align with nature, but we must see what our minds are creating; who are we trying to destroy? When do we feel senseless anger? When have we turned our hearts away from those suffering? Each thought adds to the collective force of our intention. To calm the storms, we must calm ourselves and our relationships with all beings. If you feel the call to become a wisdomkeeper, an Earthkeeper, I hope you will feel this is a calling from the heart, an invitation into right relationship, and a placement of the locus of control back into the hands of the Earth guardians who knew and could predict these things. An act of compassion and empowerment for the generations to come.
