Some of these encounters are just encounters; there are no overt messages. And sometimes I sense the message, but I just don&#8217;t get it&#8230; I need further clarification.<\/p>\n<p>As my daily journeys have deepened, I am still consistently astonished by my deep acceptance into Forest Life. So often I encounter animals who are at first wholly unaware of my quiet presence, and as I greet them I am well pleased with their immediate replies: &#8220;Oh, it&#8217;s just you, Niels.&#8221; Yup, just me; I love that.<\/p>\n<p>In the last few weeks there has been another type of encounter altogether&#8230; and it has become rather frequent. I am often meeting up with <em>people<\/em> on my daily forest walks. It used to be that encountering people out here was extremely rare. Now, suddenly, it happens nearly every day!<\/p>\n<p>At this time of year I expect to run across hunters in &#8220;my&#8221; territory. I always have before. This year&#8230;? Not one yet. Those whom I do encounter are harmless recreationists. They are drawn to the area by some subtle need to deepen their own appreciation of beauty. I used to definitely resent such &#8220;intrusions,&#8221; but now I find myself actually welcoming and enjoying them. I imagine that most who encounter me out there in the forest are at least a little surprised by our interaction. I&#8217;m not exactly what they were expecting&#8230; but then, neither is this Forest of the New Renaissance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Screen-Shot-2013-09-18-at-9.39.11-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Screen-Shot-2013-09-18-at-9.39.11-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2013-09-18 at 9.39.11 AM\" width=\"1017\" height=\"772\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Screen-Shot-2013-09-18-at-9.39.11-AM.png 1017w, https:\/\/blog.nielskunze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Screen-Shot-2013-09-18-at-9.39.11-AM-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1017px) 100vw, 1017px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our energies have been woven together.&#8221; It was the Forest in general who answered my query about these increased visitations. &#8220;In particular, it is the unique energy of human appreciation which activates a subtle yet deep response from the Web of Life. Make no mistake; this landscape has been altered. It has responded to your deepest magic. The &#8216;wildness&#8217; has been humanized&#8230; just as the human has been &#8216;wilded.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The connection is immensely attractive&#8230; not merely to you, but to all. The human quest relishes discovery; exploration is your craft. Each of you has the ability to generate local realities in co-operation with the local landscape. There is a particular feel, tone or atmosphere to this Forest now that was activated by your unremitting zest for New Adventure. Together, we are a whole new life form. Others are curious; they rightly suspect novel possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unity Consciousness is the combining of energies&#8230; in great anticipation for the deepest magic. And it is real.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Come find me&#8230; and see if it&#8217;s not perfectly true!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For every encounter that I report there are at least three more on which I remain silent.
