(Music: Shaman’s Way by Soulfood from the album Shaman’s Way)

I call to all spiritual contracts that exist within my past, present and future beings, selves and existence in this dimension and time-stream and all time-streams above and below the Earth-centric sine wave of coexistence.

At this exact moment, in the ever-present co-creating moment, I summon all DNA-lineage ancestors to create a unified-proper spiritual court of equity, so I may find remedy and resolve with all contracts that have inserted fine print during the pre-birth and birth process.

I call forth the proper spiritual court of equity to hear my decree of contract removal.

I revoke all spiritual contracts with Earth-based religions, cultures, belief systems and industries that dominate and control the divine feminine power in our world and create an energetic imbalance that effects every man, woman and child on the planet.

I call forth all ancestors of all soul-relations to hold space in this spiritual court of equity.

I call to Earth Mother and all her light denizens within all inner and outer space to come forward and occupy this spiritual court of equity. Oh great mystery who is the source of all power, I call to you.

Come with your sacred synchronicity so all beings may hold space with unity consciousness.

I hereby revoke contracts of all religions and cultural belief systems that place the feminine in a dominated position of inequality. These include the projections of unequal pay, the inability for a woman to earn a living, own land or a business, or receive an education of her choosing.

I do not consent to the feminist movement that was created and funded by the CIA to separate a woman from her divine feminine power, foster a hatred for men and create separation and division in the soul-family unit.

I hereby revoke all cultural belief systems that create the expectation of a “woman’s duty” to hold an unrealistic burden alone and suffer in silence.

I do not consent to all social-policing systems that have been put in place to make a woman feel like she is too sensitive, too emotional, or out of control in the attempt at gas-lighting a woman’s soul to make her feel like she is unstable or insignificant.

I hereby revoke all contracts of cultural belief systems where female children are murdered at birth, sexually mutilated as a supposed “right of passage”, sold off into a billion-dollar child pornography industry, or trafficked as sex slaves.

I do not consent to the porn industry that has been the breeding ground for sexual-perversion spiritual contracts and the exploitation, degradation, victimization and bastardization of the divine feminine power.

I hereby revoke the following spiritual-sexual-perversion contracts that are targeted at separating a woman from her divine feminine power:

-all group sex and polyamorous programs that are all a perversion of divine sexuality aimed at making a woman feel that she is somehow “not enough.”

-all double standards in cultural belief systems where recreational sexual promiscuity, multiple wives, harems and mistresses are allowed and celebrated for a man, but cause social ruin for a woman.

-all programs that create projections that men put on women while masturbating, as well as perverted fantasies that are used as a barrier between the heart space of a man and a woman in a sacred sexual bond.

I do not consent to these spiritual sexual perversion contracts. You have no power over me. I hereby declare that Earth Mother is in dominion with me, as well as my soul-family and my ancestors. I declare that I am now clean from these projections of sexual perversion and I return to the source of innocence as a divine feminine sovereign being.

I hereby revoke all contracts and concepts created in innocence or blissfully ignorant states of being. I hereby declare a new form of spiritual and physical cleanliness. I revoke all previous self-created concepts of cleanliness and any perverted attachments to myself. This new invocation of cleanliness removes all previous concepts of sacred sexuality, sensuality, recreational sex. I bring them all back to the zero point of the fetus in mother’s womb. I reconnect all my DNA strands to that of the heartbeat of Earth Mother.

The sacred feminine is connected to her heart in her sacred feminine space and does not deny her menstrual cycle; she accepts it as a time of introspection, retrospection and reflection.

I hereby revoke all spiritual contracts with the entertainment and advertising industry that has created programs of self-hatred, low self-esteem, self-medication, self-mutilation, eating disorders, etc.

I hereby revoke all spiritual contracts with the medical industry that have damaged a woman’s health and ability to reproduce according to the natural laws of Earth Mother– birth control drugs, and other chemicals in our food, water and air that cause sterility or over-sexuality, as well as clothing that is damaging to a woman’s health, such as bras, heels, corsets, bound feet, and tampons.

I revoke all birthing contracts created through c-sections, pregnancy drugs, pre-natal x-rays, vaccinations, incubations, children who are not put on the mother’s heart after birth, removal of the placenta and cutting of the umbilical cord which can stay intact for up to 4 days to allow for the child’s heart-bond with the mother and father.

I revoke all contracts that force a woman to carry and birth a soul that is not of her co-creative divine choice with her selected or bonded sacred masculine. This includes rape victims, teenage pregnancies and forced or arranged marriages. I return to Earth Mother the natural incarnation grid. I now permanently delete the reincarnation grid from my soul-existence.

I do not consent to all programs aimed at making a woman feel too fat, too thin, too old, too young, too black, too white, too ethnic, too rich, too poor, or any projection at all that makes a woman feel that she is somehow not good enough.

I hereby declare that I am more than good enough, I am infinite consciousness. I am God/Goddess incarnate. I am a sovereign being, and I hereby reclaim my divine feminine power in this spiritual court of equity.

I call forth all the ancestors to honor this reading of my free will and enter it into the Earth Akashic record for all sentient-kind to understand our freedom comes with the use of free will at all times.

I call forth all ancestors of all soul relations to hold space in this spiritual court of equity. I call to Earth Mother and all her light denizens within all inner and outer space to come forward and occupy this spiritual court of equity.

Oh great mystery who is the source of all power, I call to you. Come with your sacred synchronicity so all beings may hold space with unity consciousness.

I call to Great Spirit who lives within Great Mystery. You, the powers of mother Earth manifested, I call to your wisdom in this “I AM” moment.

Bless me as I walk this sacred soil. Bless me as I breathe your sacred air. Bless me as I warm myself with sacred fire. Bless me with your sacred waters of life. Bless me as I learn to walk with personal power.

Today I travel the great unknown; grant me the wisdom to be humble. Grant me the wisdom to love, even when love is not returned. Grant me the knowledge to balance my way of being, so I may heal my family, my tribe, my nation and our Mother Earth.

“I am” ready to invoke my natural rights as a sovereign male being born to Earth Mother through a womb of a sacred feminine who was also born this way.

I invoke my natural rights as a being of Earth Mother. I was born under the natural laws. With this wisdom of my natural birth I now reclaim my place in the natural world.

I revoke all energetic contracts with all people I have had sex with that was influenced by propaganda-based mass media or pornography. I return my self to the zero point of the fetus in my mother’s womb.

I revoke all contracts with all perverted sacred masculine mystery schools who have operated with false information or who have created a patriarchal-dominated society.

I cancel, cure or delete all contract that perverts the sacred masculine during the birth-canal phase of life.

I revoke all contracts that house, hold, or store my sacred masculine energy to promote male-dominate sports, activities or entertainment that demoralize or degrade the sacred feminine.

I revoke all systems of patriarchal domination of the family unit. I return all definitions of family to the Earth Mother, so remedy and resolve can be endeavored between all families now healing the patriarch concepts.

I revoke all cultural contracts I incarnated or reincarnated with that create a male-dominated society structure.

I return the sacred feminine to its right and proper place as equal partners in this co-creation experience of life.

I revoke all spiritual contracts with all religions I have existed in that do not give full rights, duties and responsibility in total equity to the sacred feminine and masculine.

I revoke all spiritual contracts that retain me in any way shape or form or force me via soul-contract to serve in war. I delete all patriot programming that creates a lust for war.

I revoke all spiritual contracts that define the male as war-oriented. I revoke all spiritual contract with all governments that I have served in during all times of war.

I revoke all spiritual contracts that create a war-based male dominated military industrial complex.

I revoke all contracts that create a male-serving/servicing sex industry that dominates women in any way shape or form.

I revoke all spiritual contracts that create a sense of uncleanliness within my sacred masculine expression. I revoke all contracts that keep me trapped in shame, blame or guilt created by perverted masculine or perverted feminine personalities.

I revoke all contracts with the incubus and succubus grids I may have dealt within all of my past, present and future lives. I hereby banish the entire incubus and succubus grid from my reality for all eternity.

I hereby revoke my entire citizenship to all representations of kingship, dictatorship, religious monarchies, religious councils or representative government concepts.

I hereby permanently remove myself from all dreamtime societies interwoven with the system of domination and control that caused the erasure of our oral teachers/historians throughout the entire indigenous world.

I hereby revoke every decision I have ever made while in service to the system of domination and control. All decisions made for me by a Male soul-contract-holding Representative of government are now placed in a proper spiritual court of equity with all ancestors present, so we may find remedy and resolve, not justice or judgment.

I now state with full sovereign conviction that I ______ ______ am now fully present in the mighty I am self. I declare from this point forth I now operate with a permanent spiritual court of equity when relating to healing the divine masculine or feminine, so perversion never re-enters my field of expression.

I hereby declare that Earth Mother is now in dominion with me for all forms of interpersonal relations for all sentient-kind existing and co-existing on Earth Mother’s realms.

I call forth all the ancestors to honor this reading of my freewill and enter it into the Earth Akashic record for all sentient-kind to understand our freedom comes with the use of freewill at all times.

What Does True Sovereignty Mean?

by nielskunze on June 9, 2014

by Andrew Bartzis (Grammar-shined by Niels)

Screen Shot 2014-06-12 at 7.02.43 AM

Sovereignty starts in your heart, where you get out of your mind and you sit in the seat of your heart and realize that you are in charge of this hologram that is this world. We all are sharing a reality and when you stop sharing your own reality for long enough to stand up and say “NO, I do not consent to propaganda; I do NOT consent to construction to destroy the rainforest; I do NOT consent to a reality that harvests energy of its people; I do NOT consent to the murder and slaughter of people worldwide.” When you say “NO” and stand up in the boundaries of “NO” that you created and say “I WANT CHANGE,” in the mighty I AM presence, co-creative pro-creative self, you have the balls or the ovaries to stand into your convictions and make change.

True sovereignty is standing with compassion and forgiveness for yourself and for all the things you HAD to do when domination and control as a system was your only option, until you began an awakening process that showed you a second, a third, a fourth option until finally in sovereignty, you realize you have an infinite amount of options because you are an infinite manifesting co-creating BEing in the seat of power, connected to your dream-world, connected to your true inspiration. You let your past be your teacher, the present be your creation and your future be your inspiration, and in inspiration, [it] does not turn into hope, toxic hope, when you allow yourself to live in the moment.

Living in the moment is acting in self-accord, allowing self-nurturing, allowing others that need nurturing so you can train them to self-nurture, allowing yourself to take time to heal, truly understanding what the word “healing” really means. And once you’re healed enough, it’s time to get out and act. You begin to help others go through the same sovereignty process, so they can define their boundaries and say “YES, this is what I want in my reality and NO I don’t want this in my reality,” and when YOU the individual stand in the seat of your heart and have compassion and forgiveness for yourself and compassion and forgiveness for everyone that’s in service to the system of domination and control, we create change.

And in that change is sovereignty, and in that sovereignty we stand in unity, and in that unity, we create unity consciousness. In unity consciousness no one is left behind– no light, no dark, no neutral, everyone is in unity consciousness. And [it is] something that all of the different industries out there that are promoting the consciousness change will have to come to terms with in their own self as they create their own sovereign boundaries. No one is left behind. As long as there is a hierarchal order, there will be no unity consciousness. In unity consciousness there is no hierarchal order, everyone is equal and in equality there is no hierarchy.

The Daily Forest Report June 7, 2014 Subtle Signs

by nielskunze on June 7, 2014

First… any pictures included in today’s post have little or no relevance to the topic being discussed. Sometimes it happens that I don’t have anything topical.

Screen Shot 2014-05-03 at 8.44.28 AM

At the serious risk of incurring a nasty jinx, I would like to point out that it is June 7th and I have not received a single mosquito bite this year. What’s more, I don’t even see any mosquitoes in the forest during my walks… which include serious “swamp time.” Is it just me? Or this micro-reality I inhabit? Or has it something to do with a Report from a couple of weeks ago about the removal of a parasite from the collective “body” of humanity?

Whatever the reason, personally, I’m loving it!

Screen Shot 2014-06-04 at 8.04.29 AM

Next, I would like to express my gratitude for the puffballs I’ve found over the past five days in a row. Every day I’ve found a few of the little morsels growing unexpectedly along the way in places I’ve never seen them before. I’m always overjoyed at their discovery… and it seems as though the Forest is actively responding to my encouragement by always providing more. Yay!

And now, as for the eagles… It is possible that a couple of the alleged eagles might actually be hawks. After some investigation, I have found that eagles don’t tend to make the characteristic piercing cries that hawks do. That familiar raptor scream belongs to Hawk. So what I have previously referred to as the Young Eagle is in reality more likely a hawk, probably a red-tailed variety.

It is interesting however that there are definitely bald eagles sharing the same territory. The adult plumage of bald eagles is rather unmistakeable. Hawks and eagles in such close proximity is interesting…

And finally, I have been noticing that there are already numerous wasps and hornets feeding themselves with the nectar of flowers… and supposedly pollinating them in the process. This is somewhat unusual. Have the wasps and hornets decided to go mostly vegetarian? Despite their obvious numbers, they have shown no aggression so far.

Subtle changes in the ways in which different species interact appear to be afoot. This bears keeping a close eye upon…

The Daily Forest Report June 6, 2014 Just a Quick Followup

by nielskunze on June 6, 2014

The energy was mostly back to normal. The only real difference was that things were a lot quieter. Most of the usual culprits checked in with us– Eagle and Raven– but they just did silent flyovers, whereas in recent weeks they had been extremely vocal. Their silence felt respectful.

The good news: the one-year-old girl who was airlifted to the Calgary Children’s Hospital after being spilled from an inflatable dinghy on Dutch Creek on Wednesday is expected to make a full recovery. She had been admitted in critical condition, having difficulty breathing during transport. Children are remarkably resilient!

The bad news: there’s no cure for stupidity. I’m sorry, I feel particularly qualified to speak on this because I’ve demonstrated my own stupidity in regard to Dutch Creek previously. You can read an entire novella I authored last year detailing What Happened That Day, when a very good friend of mine died in Dutch Creek one sunny May afternoon. (It’s the last article in the Newsletter and continues in four parts.)

The family involved in Wednesday’s incident may still be facing charges as the RCMP are consulting with crown prosecutors. I can understand their reasoning, but I don’t think that criminalizing stupidity serves much of a positive outcome. Why do I insist on using the word “stupid”?

I took these pictures yesterday, so these are the current conditions of the river very near to where the incident occurred. Granted, the side tributary where Lhasa is carrying her stick is navigable, but check out the main channel where the waves are crashing into the cliff behind. Now, use your imagination to picture a young mother climbing aboard a dinghy with her three-month old infant in her arms along with her one-year-old daughter… and going for an afternoon “float.”

After reading the initial news articles, I checked out some of the comments, and predictably, nearly everyone was in agreement that this was the height of stupidity. There was one dissenting voice who came to the defence of this family saying “We’ve done this float a hundred times before!” Not during high water, you haven’t!

How do I know that? Because I have. Way back when I was 16, I went out with a few of my friends in an inflatable dinghy and rafted the very same river during the peak of the runoff. In the first minute of the trip, the bottom fell out of the boat. No problem; we straddled the sides and continued on our way. Soon we encountered a tree jutting out across the surface of the river and we were powerless to avoid it. All of us bailed right before impact– all but one, that is. Neil was pinned against the tree across his stomach with the boat holding him fast from behind half submerged beneath the tree. We yelled at him to push himself under so that he would emerge on the other side. He wasn’t very keen on our suggestion! Fortunately, one side of the dinghy popped, and the half-deflated raft got pushed under the tree and continued down the river. We survived… barely.

So what I’m saying here is that maybe you’ve “floated” Dutch Creek once during high water… but when it was over, you hauled your coughing and sputtering ass out on shore and definitely said to yourself “Holy shit! We’re lucky to still be alive. I’ll never do that again!” And I haven’t, and I won’t!

Even when we were sixteen and typically stupid, we would never have even considered taking children with us, let alone two infants! I’ll trust that a valuable lesson was learned on Wednesday and we’ll leave it at that. I wish all the best to the family involved and I really wish I’d have seen you that day before you jumped into the raging chaos that is Dutch Creek at this time of year. I have the stories that will penetrate even the dimmest wit… because, clearly, I was once that stupid myself.

The Daily Forest Report June 5, 2014 A Major Disturbance in the Force

by nielskunze on June 5, 2014

The Self which exists beyond the confines of my skin is energetically sewn within the Forest tapestry comprising the area of these daily walks. I have become an integrated part of the living system which is the hills and river valley surrounding the tail end of Dutch Creek right before it spills into Columbia Lake just beyond the Hoodoos.

I’m tuned in… to the landscape and all its creatures. To what degree am I attuned? On this day I was surprised to find out.

Right at the beginning as we were making the initial ascent, Raven announced his presence with authority. He was determined to get my attention. I’ve mentioned Raven fairly frequently because he is almost always there, though usually just out of sight. On the few occasions when he’s presented himself to my camera’s view, there always followed a startling and most unexpected encounter.

He sat in the tree for quite some time as we had a lengthy conversation; I just wasn’t quite getting what he was actually talking about. Finally, he honoured my request to fly from his perch so that I could get a better picture, as he flew off toward the river.

The Forest, and especially Raven, aren’t just aware of everything going on in the immediate vicinity, they are equally aware of what is about to occur within the living environs. Raven was telling me of something which was about to occur a few hours hence… but my conscious mind just couldn’t get it.

For the whole of the walk I felt uncharacteristically unsettled. I mean, it was a beautiful day, filled with sights of wonder and tantalizing smells, but I felt uncomfortable, like I was nervous or something… but I had absolutely nothing to feel nervous about. I just wasn’t myself, and I said it aloud a couple of times to the dogs.

It wasn’t until a couple of hours after I’d returned home that my unprovoked disturbance began to make sense. News travels very fast in small towns.

There had been a tragic accident on the river, just down from where I take my walks. Don’t be fooled by the above picture which was taken in autumn when Dutch Creek is at its laziest, non-threatening self. We are currently at the height of runoff. The river is exceedingly dangerous right now. Thirteen years ago I lost a very good friend to the Dutch Creek runoff; he was a trained lifeguard– as was I and our other companion that day. The river was too swift and ferocious; we couldn’t save him after he unexpectedly fell in.

This is the river from more than a week ago. It is up considerably since then. I cannot for the life of me begin to fathom what these people were thinking– taking young children in a plastic dinghy during high water. But apparently, as I went on my walk that morning, they had already set their intentions to do so… and Raven sought to warn me, but my telepathic listening isn’t quite that refined… yet.

My heart goes out to this family; I truly hope that the child will be okay.

The Daily Forest Report June 4, 2014 Taking Our Time With It All

Everything is so brand new! It’s the same old forest… and yet we’re all reintroducing ourselves to each other… making new acquaintances, new connections…

The harsh winter took its toll. Not everyone survived. But those who did are ready to thrive.

Once the blockage was uncorked, exuberance came on display. The spring bloom seems extra prolific this year.

And the mushrooms too are pushing their way onto stage.

I’ve been fortunate the past few days in finding a few puffballs along the way to eat. It’s kind of like locating your golfball in the rough… except you never saw it land… and golf balls don’t taste nearly as good.

This time we were met by four eagles at the power line. I watched them up close with the binoculars for quite some time. They were very vocal, practicing their piercing cry again and again. They were speaking against their own aloofness, reminding us that it is a human’s prerogative to connect on every level. Apparently, what is all too often forgotten is our emotional nature. It’s dangerous to push it away. Our emotions keep us informed of our true priorities. When we shut them out, we are so easily misled.

This little duckling strayed too far from the safety of the river. A land-locked baby duck is as vulnerable as a stoic caught in this reacquaintance with the natural world– our true natures. We are meant to be lost in awe.

Yeah, I wrote this as an attempt at straddling realities…
