My 'waking up' happened while
with my friend Joan (who was already well in tune with other realities). Our
meeting was not coincidental and we instantly felt a very strong connection. The
first three to four months of our friendship was spent having lots of incredible
multidimensional adventures. Before I start I should say that although prior to
this I had one or two strange experiences (as most others have) none of them
could prepare me for this.
For many years I was repeatedly
drawn to spend time at particular spots out in the woods local to where I lived.
I took friends to these places but most seemed not to feel the same 'depth' as
me which disappointed me to a certain extent. When I met Joan it seemed natural
that the first thing we do was to explore these areas so this we did.
The first place I took her to
was out in the woods beside a place called Hexham (A market town in
Northumberland). We set off walking through the forest, it had been snowing so
there was about an inch covering on the ground which was just enough to give it
that 'blanketed' feel and that special quietness.
It was about a mile walk to my
'spot' following an ancient wall and trees in almost a direct line through the
woods, we were about a quarter mile from our destination when we spotted two
fawns. We fell into silence and started to gently track them. As we did this I
noticed a bubble of energy fold up around me completely surrounding and
'sealing' me. I realized that somehow I was within the energy used by the
ancient trackers and hunters, I knew that no sound could get out and that to a
certain extent the 'energy' was moving me through the woods. My senses
heightened and I could even smell the fawns that we were following.
We padded through the wood like
this for about 15 minutes getting quite lost away from our original track until
eventually we emerged from the woods at exactly the place where I would sit. I
pointed this out to Joan, who excitedly kept asking me if I could see what it
was. Well, unbeknown to me I had been sitting in the middle of a huge tree
circle. It was not only very large in size but it was also made of eight
separate rings of trees all encircling this one spot where I would spend time.
We then moved into the center
of the ring and Joan got us to hunker down and place our open palms on the
ground so that we may 'feel' the energy. It didn't take me long to realize that
something was not right as I have skied for years and I know the feel of snow,
it doesn't feel warn to the touch - but this is what it felt like in this spot.
I was moving my hands to different places around me and feeling the same thing.
Joan then asked me if I could see the energy. Well as part of me was thinking
'what is she talking about - seeing energies' I actually did start to see them,
they appeared as cones of flame coming out of my hands that then went down into
the ground to a depth of about two meters. Again when I moved my hands around
the 'flames' moved with them.
Then just as Joan is asking me
if I can feel the energies of the Earth coming up and into me a huge beam of
white light (about body width) comes down from above, through the top of my head
then down through my body. It zips down my arms, then my hands, then my fingers
until eventually about four to five pencil beams of white light are leaving each
finger and linking up with all the trees around us. This energy kept coming
through for about three minutes, by which time everything was a brilliant white,
it was as if we were very small people standing on a huge light bulb and I could
only make out the trees because they had a faint black outline.
Joan was aware of what was
happening to me and could feel the energies. We stood up and made to walk out of
the circle, this proved more difficult than walking in as the combination of our
own heightened sensitivity and the build up of energies seemed to have resulted
in very strong 'energy field barriers' at the junction of each ring of trees. We
had to push our way out through all eight rings. Just as we had exited the last
one Joan asked me to 'look' into the center of the circle. What I saw and
described to Joan was a black knight on a black horse - huge horse and huge man.
The horse had the full 'curtain' gear draped over and around it and the knight
had a black helmet and black gloves and boots - black everything. At the same
time Joan was seeing and describing a 'man' of medium build wearing a thin chain
mail top suit and dark breeches. He was standing tall and was holding point down
a huge 'light' sword. The point of this sword was right on the energy center and
the real give away as to who he was were the 'twig' antlers that he had on his
head. After some time we swapped over and I saw and finished describing the
chain mail man (Pan) and Joan finished describing the black knight (this was how
it was to be for the next four months - I was never to be given any opportunity
to doubt what was happening). We then had a woman in blue appear. As this was
happening I was also getting information directly (just coming into my head).
So, I knew that the chain mail man was Pan and that he was responsible for the
energy points, the black knight was a ranger - he passes information between the
nature spirit groups as well as protecting places at a distance and for me the
woman in blue is the highest 'fairy' form. She is in charge of all the lesser
fairies who look after all the plants and vegetation.
After about fifteen minutes we
had finished and started to walk off down the path, as we did so we became aware
of another 'form' behind us and to our right. It seemed to be tracking us. It
followed us on a converging path - getting closer and closer to us as we walked
along. Eventually he got so close that Joan and I stopped and turned to each
other to 'tune' in more. As we did this he came in very quickly and stepped
right into Joan (who immediately put on six inches in height and six inches in
breadth). This Being then 'spoke' to me through Joan. Now up to this point I had
been OK with all that had gone on - somewhat bemused to say the least but fine.
This part however was really frightening - I did not know what had happened to
my friend - was she OK - what was happening to her. It was also more worrying as
I was relying on Joan's experience and understanding of these realities to keep
me steady.
So, in a now very anxious
state, this Being starts to speak to me. I tells me that they have seen me here
a few times and that I have obviously been touched by this place (I came here
regularly to 'feel' it). He said a few other things which I cannot remember and
then he passed me (in energy terms) a beautiful half sphere of liquid to drink.
It took me ages to decide to take this (what seemed like ten minutes, but was
probably two) and then it took me a while longer to realize that I had to drink
it (I did and it was very cold). When I passed it back he then passed me a small
dagger - again it took me a few minutes to decide to take it. When I did, he
then stepped out from Joan (who then regained her normal proportions) and I
could properly see this Being for the first time. It was Hern (the Being with
the dear skin over the back - dear head over the top of his and the huge stag
antlers) - a huge guy. He looks after the nature spirits that look after the
animals.
Joan told me that the bowl was
a 'cup of knowledge' and that all the nature spirits around fell about
laughing when I drank it because they then realized that what they where trying
to give me I already knew I just did not know it myself - this greatly amused
them.
Commentary: This
walk immediately and profoundly changed my perspective on many things. It made
me have to chuck many of my preconceptions out. It forced me to restructure my
model of reality to include this new information. For example;
- That other energy levels,
dimensions, planes or whatever exist.
- That in some way it is
possible (and under the right circumstances easy) to see, feel, sense
energies and have access to other energy levels and be aware of the Beings
residing there.
- That information could
somehow be placed directly into my consciousness without the use of my
normal senses.
- That 'Nature Spirits'
exist, that they are entirely coherent and can interact and hold their own
at least as well as we can. Please understand that I do not believe in the
existence of 'Nature Spirits'. Belief is only required when experience is
lacking. They exist whether we believe in them or not. Imagine if you can
some 'Nature Spirits' sitting around in their tea break discussing whether
humans exist or not and whether they believe in us, would we cease to exist
because they decide we didn't? I think not.
- That something much
bigger than I had initiated all of this - it was no coincidence - it was a
set up. Something had switched on the energy that came through me, and then
directed it to the trees. That same something set the whole experience up.
- In an overall sense I was
quite accepting of what happened. This was most definitely a wake up call in
every sense of the word. The alarm clock had gone off and it was not going
to fade into the background under any circumstance and in many ways even
though parts of me wanted to go and run screaming over the hills I wanted
more, this was more interesting than anything else EVER.
- In fact the next few
weeks, months and even years have conspired somewhat to make this starting
point seem entirely normal and mundane in comparison.
