Story Tellers and Parables: The Oral Tradition of Learning

Many years ago upon a spiritual journey of working with the energy lines of the Earth, I was working with the southwest, four corners state area. I was drawn to a particular store set under an overhand near the highway. It was a series of older buildings called, I believe, Yellow Horse Trading Post. When I went into the store if was filled with items that called to me. As I would come to specific items a young man would appear, not intrusive upon my shopping , to explain the meaning of the items. I was particularly drawn at the time to 2 kachinas, a wedding bowl and a ceramic image of the storyteller, and a silver story teller ring.

Over the years I have been told by spirit and came to understand that in many of my lives I have been the storyteller and I continue to this day. Often in story telling the difference between ones connecting with the story and finding somethng of value, whether a new way of seeing something or even feeling happy depends on the energy of the story teller and how they tell the story.

Parables are simple stories that convey wisdom as are the storytellers of native people around the world. The power of storytelling has been a time honored tradition amongst people since time began. People before written language would tell stories to help their young to learn or to pass on the stories of their culture and people to the next generation.

I find in my own journey that the technical jargon that scientist or professionals in some fields use to share information can leave me less than enthusiastic about reading what they share. I am not discounting or being discouraging about the importance of what they share, but when one can share an example of how this applies in our lives it can make it much more pallitable and interesting to read.

I share this because as you have probably come to see I share personal stories in the messages I share. After over 40 years of traveling this path and I have many experiences and lessons that I have learned that may help to make a thought or message more understandable in context of our lives. There are some things I might find a bit embarrasing and thankfully I haven’t had to share them, but one never knows. I follow the path as it unfolds before me.

I have been in the ‘witch wound’ for all of this lifetime and in other lifetimes. I have experienced torture and burning at the stake for sharing my truth or being the person that I am. Whether a teacher, healer, storyteller or shaman. When one is different or shines their light, it can be a threat to those still trying to hide in the systems of the world. I have wanted to protect myself and my loved ones from the possibility of the anger, judgment and violence that is possible.

However, I have been called to stand up as a warrior of light. As Michael shared in the last message a Warrior of Light carries a sword of Truth and stands in Light and Love. I am not perfect or Ascended Being, I am simply one who has traveled the path a long time and I am called to share what I have learned and to Bring Light into the world to help others to find their Inner Light.

I am being nudged to share an experiencd that has recently come up. I had been told by someone that they felt I had an anger or issue with my Father that needed to be cleared. Now, I disagreed, I loved my father and respected him greatly. He was the most honorable man I have known. I knew I had an issue of abandonment with the Creator,but I had cleared that. However, I decided to do some soul searching. I realized that even though I understood my father passing 33 years ago, WOW, 33 years that has significance, my inner child had felt abandoned.

For me, the one constant that I could depend on to be there, help me, listen and guide me without judgment and protect and help me was my father. I had not realized that when he passed everything in my life shifted. My mother was alone and feeling vulnerable and needed our support, she had much anger at being alone. I no longer had someone to be the one to whom I could turn to protect and guide me in my life. I had to step up and take care of myself. I am married but that is not the same energy for me. My physical father represented the Creator Source energy for me. He allowed me to explore spiritual wisdom and discuss esoteric thoughts with him that I couldn’t with anyone else in my family as well as bringing the father energies to me.

I came to realize these last few day that to look at this in my life was to look at another layer of the onion of abandonment that needed to be peeled away. I wasn’t fully standing in my light because I feared letting it shine and being attacked for it and perhaps killed, as in other lifetimes. I know my guides have protected me in many instances from physical harm, so why had they not in those lifetimes?

As Joan of Arc said to me,” In those life times this was the mission you agreed to perform. You knew it was a possibility , although you hoped the Light would open their eyes. You also knew you could leave the form and not feel the fire burn. Sometimes, we are called to be warriors who are ready to sacrifice for the Light and others we are assured we will be protected. In this life you will be safe.”

I was told repeatedly that it is time to step up to the next part of my journey. I need to clear out physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually that which I don’t want to take along. To write it down and symbolically burn it. That I need to look at my strengths and weaknesses. To write them down to see what I need to adjust. To ask for help in doing this.

I don’t know exactly what the next part brings, but I do know my blog and messaging continues. For I am sure my storytelling is part of my journey as a teacher and healer.

We are being asked to bring more clearing into our lives and where we live to bring in more light. Anchor it into the center of the Earth and be the link between Heaven and Earth. If we each do this it is of such benefit beyond understanding to the Light Beings working with Earth and to Earth herself.

BE kind, loving, caring, compassionate and understanding to YOURSELF and others. You are important, it is not easy to look within to the pain we are hiding so that we don’t have to feel it, but the release is so much more fulfilling. I have been hearing to create a course of healing and some mp3 to help others. So I will be working on those as time allows and will post when they are available if anyone would be interested.

Please know that with each message a part of me sends love to each of you.

May you find your path a little lighter each day.
