First,
find a quiet place in your mind. This can be difficult in these times. Noise
is all around. But close your eyes, and go inside yourself. Find that quiet
room. It’s in there. It might take a little time to find. But it can be done
if you have control over any part of your thoughts.
When
you feel you are in the Center, imagine a light coming down upon you. It’s
golden and filled with glittery dust. It will sparkle and enfold your spirit.
Mentally raise your arms to meet it. Keep your earthly eyes closed and open
our spirit eyes. Your earthly eyes cannot behold the place. It’s too
beautiful to perceive.
You
are surrounded by cool, thick shadows and enormous trees. There is a path that
vanishes as it curves into a forest. The trees appear to make a canopy,
sheltering this walk.
Enter in.
As
you walk, you will feel the air embrace you. There will be the smell of rain
and wind. The earth is cool under your feet. You can smell the life below the
soil. The only sound are your footsteps on the leaves. The further you walk
into this grove, the more Autumn appears. The light is waning, but isn’t
dark. It’s as if an October twilight is upon you. As you walk deeper, you
can feel the forest air embrace your skin.
There is a faint aroma of clove,
cinnamon, perhaps burning leaves and smoldering wood.
Then you
enter a Grove.
It’s
a clearing with light shining down.
The trees form a circle.
And here you can sit down right in the middle on the cool ground.
You
will only hear your Guides.
They
will tell you what you need to hear at this moment.
Beyond
these trees are several paths. I’m not sure where they all lead.
The
path to the West leads to the Gates of the Autumn Sisters.
The path to the North leads to the Gates of the Winter Brothers.
The path to the East leads to the Gates of the Spring Sisters.
The path going South leads to the Gates of the Summer
Brothers.
If
the One you seek is sleeping,
you
can still hear their whispers in their dreamscape should you desire.
You know their names.
They know yours.
Listen…
