I channeled a being who was and still is part of what we would call the Indian, or Native American, civilization. He started off with the words Wanca (wahn-chey) Wanbli Gleska, which I think was his name. Wanca means One. [An email in May, 2003, from a reader - Taulbee - tells me that the name means Little Spotted Eagle.] He later used the term Hanwi which means Moon in Dakota. At first he spoke in his language and then another one of my guides translated his message for all of us, which I share with you:

"I want to express my gratitude to you for coming to the awareness within yourselves of your connection with the Earth, and hearing the Earth. The Earth speaks, and you are finally beginning to listen. This is what I came to honor. It was a long time that my people held this very great consciousness and we doubted that it would come into the mass consciousness' awareness. But we are now relieved and joyful that it is coming to pass: Acknowledging the Earth as a living being. It has a consciousness that has its own methods of communication and interaction, co-habitating with life on Earth as well as in it and around it, multidimensionally, and with respect.

"There is also a gratitude in our own awareness that such an act can be so powerful; not merely taking what you get, but knowing that we, and you, are participating in the creation. And this is something that has been hinted about for a while within our culture, but now the awareness is growing within our own groups, as well. It was not part of the consciousness to THIS degree as it is today. We are thankful for this.

"The message to everyone is that you are all native peoples - all natives. Not that you don't have multidimensional aspects, but here on Earth to consider yourselves natives. Part of the nature - not separate from it, not outside of yourselves. Many times throughout history you heard of tales about the people saying the Earth is crying out, the Earth is in pain. The Earth was not in pain, so to speak. The Earth was merely asking for you to hear it. And now that is being met and healed, in a sense; bridging the cultures more together, bridging all dimensions together, much more. And so it is on all planets that there are energies native to those planets as well, and for each being, wherever you are in the cosmos, to tune in to the energies, the vibration of your own planet, to understand it on a multidimensional level as a living being co-creating with you. And we thank you."

This is indeed a turning point in our civilization as we reach greater understanding of how we do interact with the Earth. Not all people on the planet today have this awareness, which also includes having the resources for education and construction, refining architecture to withstand quakes with supportive governments. We had a 7.1, afterall. Compare what happened in California to quakes of similar magnitude in other locations around the globe. Drastic differences, are there not? We can all assist in sharing the knowledge that we can choose how we want our experiences to be - in ALL ways.

This week scientists in California have begun testing their technology in creating earthquakes. These quakes still have the potential to create damage, to take any direction we choose to allow them to. Our work as metaphysicians is not, by all means, yet complete. In order to avert potential dangerous side-effects of all earthquakes we can focus on sending much love, appreciation, value and quality for all life, to our planet, state, cities, neighborhoods, families and friends and, as the avatar Torah (channeled through Shawn Randall) suggests, to see liquid gold light - a flexible material - carrying our intentions, filling in the cracks and faults. We have done this exercise since the Northridge quake and it has had very positive results. Once again - the choice is up to us and the more people focus on creating safe and easy transitions, the more likely it is for us to have them. Thank you.
