These past few days, it feels like Spirit has this journey on the fast track! Things are falling into place, and we are quickly being asked to commit and answer the call! Therefore, let me fill you in on the task (always fun) we are doing and the logistics of being there.
THE FUN TASKS : SERPENT MOUND – According to my Teachers, the Mound Builders and the Pyramid builders were the backbone of all civilizations that have appeared on this Plane of Existence (Earth, e.g. in this Dimensional Reality System). So important was their tasking that as a civilization began the task (or moved onto the path) of unwinding, powering down to outside the visible range, returning to the dust, so to speak, they often were the only representations of another Time Line left to connect one with another. At this point, my Teachers likened it to a community in the old west that over time, lost population, buildings began to fall down, and the only connection with present time was the dusty road leading to the town and the stories told about it. The Mounds and Pyramids are like the road and they are the holders of the stories.
Many years ago, Peter told us to think “generator” when we think of Pyramids, which I took to mean that they are not burial sites (although ancients often used them as such) nor are they just cool places to visit. When we think of Mounds, think of “receivers.” These two constructs – Pyramids and Mounds – provide us with powerful “machines” that are very much a part of who, what, where, when, and how we travel Time-Lines. Now, most of our experience with these Time-Lines and so-called “Ancient” Civilizations has been cast in a Linear display, couched in “Cause and Effect.” And, if there is one thing these”Times”- 2012 and the like - say, it is that Cause and Effect (with its Linear displays) are NO LONGER the basis for creating, observing, noticing, and projecting what is.
Now, if you’ve stayed with me so far, let’s move to specifics for The Serpent Mound… First of all, check out Wikipedia’s info.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_Mound It’s a nice story, but my Teachers got a big laugh at some of the ideas there. Scroll down and on the right hand side, you’ll see a drawing of the serpent shape. Notice the spiral on the tail? I was told a longtime ago and had it reaffirmed when I went to Tucson to find those important petroglyphs a couple of years ago, that whenever we see a spiral, there is something very important there. And one other thing…the story is that the snake is swallowing an egg? No Name Wisdom and Many Laughs couldn’t hold back the laughter! Neither of them told me what it does mean. Maybe a story awaits us for while we are there.
So, we are going to Serpent Mound in June to re-power and connect it – and all it represents - back to the “Grid.” And if you are like me, you can hardly wait to find out just what will happen when we connect the Mound Grid to the 4-Corners Pyramid Grid. And I still want to know about the Sphinx. So much to learn!
LOGISTICS FOR OUR STAY:
We’ll be staying at a place is called, “HOPE SPRINGS INSTITUTE: from this place springs hope for inner and global peace”. The retreat Web site is:

CABINS: are pictured and described on the web site. There are 2 meeting places – round buildings. Fire pits, and whatever we may need for ceremony that they can supply. There is a Labyrinth and wonderful walking areas. We can start the day off with Yoga or Tai Chi (we have folks who can conduct) and soundings (voice and instrument) will be way cool I bet.

Now, here is what I mean by SPIRIT’S FAST TRACK….. I have to know by March 21 (Monday) if you are planning to go, because on March 23 at least 12 of us must commit or give up the Hope Springs location. So you have about 3 weeks to think/feel/meditate on whether this is something you will be doing. If you talk to any of the folks who were in Utah last year, they will tell you how neat it was!
If you have questions, I’ll do my best to answer them. Let me end with a thought I sent out to a dear friend recently… So… “hop aboard the wave of Spirit’s Call and surf with exuberance the days and weeks to come! All Is Well…”
Cowabunga, Dude! Surf’s UP!
Love ya,
Kay and Jan
