The Free Radical

For synchronicity buffs, the last DFR– which I labelled the most significant one yet– was the 222nd post on this blog.

The last full moon of this transformative year occurred already in the wee hours this morning. Its energy and illumination will linger for the next few days. It’s time to get things right!

I’ve been called out. It has become clear that I am invited to organize and co-ordinate a collaboration among the various Animal Nations… to test and demonstrate a new solidarity in creating a New World that works for all of Earth’s inhabitants.

After our spectacular brush with Cougar, Sitka and I returned the very next day to the place of the encounter. Sitka had to face her fear. She was visibly nervous as we re-entered the dense forest where Cougar had earlier visited us. She sniffed out the prints– ours and the lion’s– to briefly relive the sudden angst of the day before. I talked her through it the best I could, and she seemed content when finally we moved on.

What became clear as our journey progressed was that the Animal Nations (the totemistic archetypes) have been trying to garner my attention. Very consistently they continue to overlay significant portions of my path with their footprints (invitations).

This print belongs to Moose. In the past two weeks he has travelled all portions of my regular route again and again.

And this is a new path laid down by Mountain Lion on top of the Mesa. Mountain Lion’s prints were all over the place… but especially prominent on the Mesa. I’ve spoken of the Mesa many times previously. Every human whom I’ve taken there has remarked upon its special energy– its sacredness. I refer to it as a power spot. Others might call it a sacred site or a multidimensional portal. Whatever; it’s a special place; I know it; the animals know it… even the plants know it! (The ashes of my former dog companion Jazz are buried there– in a hole she dug herself while she still lived.)

Cougar’s voice was clear and powerful today:

“You have been called… to this Sacred Partnership… because of your obvious willingness and lack of crippling fear.

“Humanity has played the role of the masculine to the Earth Collective’s feminine. To date, it has been overplayed– something we allowed for your own growth and development. The time for balance is well nigh.

“It is the Divine Feminine who taps into the Void. She holds the access to the raw energy of Creation. You could say that She holds the keys to the kingdom.

“It is the task of the Divine Masculine to give shape, structure and purpose to the raw energy of Creation. It is the male prerogative to define (to make finite; to establish limits and boundaries) for the actual expressions of the infinite potentials offered through the female.

“In our interspecies reality, humanity plays the part of the male; the Animal Nations and Plant Kingdoms take on the role of the female. We hold the access to raw power; you will give it shape. It will be done now in such a way that honours and respects all who dwell here.

“If humanity still insists upon an agenda of domination and control– a paradigm of elitism– access to the raw power of Creation will be swiftly and irrevocably denied. Such is not currently foreseen. The time for balance is gaining recognition.

“You have been called… think well on your answer.”

One thing that was very clear from our encounter with Cougar a couple of days ago was that if Cougar had had a mind to take our lives, there’s absolutely nothing Sitka or I could have done about it. Again it’s been suggested to me that I should carry a gun for just these types of occasions. Believe me, a gun would have made no difference; there simply was zero time to react; the whole thing happened so incredibly fast!

I have known for many years already that I move through this forest with permission. This isn’t luck or coincidence– two worthless concepts in the reality I inhabit. I am accepted and wanted here… and for that I am very grateful.

Today I will head out to the Mesa again. I’m not a very ritualistic kinda guy… but I intend to conduct a little ceremony, affirming this “new” allegiance with my Forest friends. You are free to join your intent to mine– in whatever way makes sense to you. I hope you’re beginning to realize that we really are all in this together.
