Weather Work in the Middle World

Update from the Tuesday Drum Circle and Thunderstorm

I discovered on Wednesday that we indeed had been visited by the Thunder Beings!! Apparently lightning struck either the house or the garage because our solar system was blown out as well as the garage door opener motors!

The storm was "connecting" with us because we had done journeys to connect with it. This is why working in the Middle World can be dangerous and very powerful, not something to take lightly.

Let's reflect on this experience, maybe by journeying, to find out what happened and why from a spiritual perspective. Was the storm blessing us in some way? Healing some of us? What was the message other than "Don't mess with me"? Kate and I strongly feel that the storm was not angry. No one was hurt. What will your journeys tell you?

A reminder that there is no drum circle the last 2 weeks of August. See all of you in September.

Many summertime blessings,

Pat

Elephants Mourning

This is a touching article that was in Sandra Ingerman's Transmutaion News for May.



Wild elephants gather inexplicably, mourn death of "Elephant Whisperer"
Author and legendary conservationist Lawrence Anthony died March 7. His family tells of a solemn procession on March 10 that defies human explanation



For 12 hours, two herds of wild South African elephants slowly made their way through the Zululand bush until they reached the house of late author Lawrence Anthony, the conservationist who saved their lives.

The formerly violent, rogue elephants, destined to be shot a few years ago as pests, were rescued and rehabilitated by Anthony, who had grown up in the bush and was known as the “Elephant Whisperer.”

For two days the herds loitered at Anthony’s rural compound on the vast Thula Thula game reserve in the South African KwaZulu – to say good-bye to the man they loved. But how did they know he had died March 7?

Known for his unique ability to calm traumatized elephants, Anthony had become a legend. He is the author of three books, Baghdad Ark, detailing his efforts to rescue the animals at Baghdad Zoo during the Iraqi war, the forthcoming The Last Rhinos, and his bestselling The Elephant Whisperer.

Help the Kayapo and Jurana people

Sending you all this request for help from Dream Change and John Perkins. Hope you are all well and staying warm!

Drum circle is on for this coming Tuesday, February 28th. See you then!

Message from John Perkins
Help the Kayapo and Jurana people

Message from John Perkins

Please Stop Belo Monte Dam and Help Indigenous People

Dear friends,

This is one of those times when we are all called upon to take action. I ask for your help in protecting 400,000 acres of Brazilian forests and the Kayapo and Jurana cultures in the Xingu Basin in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Please help us continue to stop the Belo Monte Dam project! The potential devastation of these people and the lands they live on – the plants, animals, rivers – is not merely a Brazilian issue. Our very survival as a humane species is at stake here.

Our friends at AmazonWatch , have been covering this issue for some time and they've reported that many violent interactions have already occurred between the indigenous people and local police, supported by gunmen hired by ranchers. Many acres of pristine forest have been ravaged.

Dilma Rousseff, the new president of Brazil has given approval to build this hydroelectric plant. To make this possible, two huge canals 500 meters wide by 75 km long will be excavated, unearthing more land than was removed to build the Panama Canal and will devastate over 400,000 acres of land. More than 40,000 indigenous people will be dislocated. Massive environmental destruction, deforestation, and the disappearance of many plant and animal species is imminent – if this project moves forward.

Please join me in calling for Mr. Marcio Meira, the President of the Brazilian government's National Indigenous Foundation to keep commitments previously made to the Kayapo and Juruna, promises that they and the land and water will be protected. Demand that his agency act immediately to stem further violence and expel illegal settlers from the ancestral territories of these ancient and proud peoples.

The Kayapo and Jurana have long considered themselves to be "custodians of the land." Although they want to avoid violent confrontation, they have vowed to protect the forests. They need your help – our help.

We all must work to save the forests and the indigenous people who live in them and care for them in such a precious and unique way. Please act right now! Follow the directions at this link http://amazonwatch.org/take-action/chief-raoni-and-the-kayapo-under-attack and sign the petitions to show your support for creating a sustainable and just world, one where all sentient beings can thrive.

What a great way to celebrate the second month of this Year of the Prophecies!

Many thanks
John
