"Travels in a Strange Land"
I recently returned to my home in Oregon from my sojourn to Virginia in late September and early October, and I was very glad to be back in the familiar surroundings of home, and the more peaceful atmosphere of the West Coast.
The collective psychic atmosphere around centers of political and military activity is extremely paranoid and tense. In Washington, D.C., however, I was also very aware of the prayer energies being directed from all over the world to that locale, and it seemed as if a dome of angelic healing was present over the typical D.C. energies of power and control. However, the energy enveloping the Virginia Beach region was not as balanced, probably due to the fact that most folks are unaware that the place that is home to the Edgar Cayce and Paul Solomon libraries also has four major military installations surrounding it. Sending prayers of balance and compassion there, as well as to all those involved in military activities, would be useful.
I also became acutely aware of how so many of us are "processing" all of the astral (emotional) and casual (mental) fallout from 9/11 and subsequent events. The energetic tie-in to the events of the past six weeks has exhausted us on many levels. We, and our friends and family close to us, are all dealing with low-grade depression, difficulty in holding a positive attitude, extreme sleepiness, nervousness and/or elevated pulse rates, a sense of impendingness, and difficulties from time to time to just be still and feel our inner connection to Source.
My actual travel experiences, and the work that I facilitated while back East was very fulfilling and enjoyable. Completely incident free and pleasant. However, when I arrived at the airport to board my plane for the return trip home, I was a bit startled by the presence of National Guard troops in full battle-readiness at the security check-in areas. These young men were nervous, wary and weary (it was 4AM), and all of the regular security personnel were as sober as robots. My instinct was to "disappear." Basically, I just empty my head of all judgements and perceptions and go into neutral.
As a result, I was never challenged nor did I have my belongings searched. "Just glide on through, be invisible to the fear", my inner self said.After boarding the plane, I assessed what I had just seen. We are now seeing our country and ourselves differently. We are all now travelers in a strange land, on a level that we have not seen before. Watching peoples' response to all of the new security procedures and restrictions, all of the ceaseless vigilance is strange as well. Much has been made of how the attacks have brought us closer together as a nation. What I observed is that the new striving for security is contributing even more to our mutual estrangement. The reasons for this are obvious. Security cannot, nor will it ever be guaranteed through external devices. It will not build trust, only suspicion and separateness. Fear numbs our ability to think and perceive clearly, and that is apparently the first casualty in this new war.
Since returning I have become aware of certain internal issues that reflect what I observed during my travels. Like many, I have sought for answers to what occurred on 9/11. I have instinctively known since the first ten seconds after hearing about the attacks that "it's all a setup, remain calm." But my mind would not be placated. I banged around the Internet looking for the trails of truth, some proof of the shadows involved in these events, convinced somehow that no ragtag band of Islamic fundamentalists possessed the resources or training to pull this off so effectively.
There are dozens of conspiracy theories, including the official version of events, and none of them satisfy. I know now that there many rabbit holes and that they all go deep. What a maze to get lost in!
I also felt no peace inside any of them, and so I apologize to anyone with whom I have shared with on this level, and wish you peace.So, I am back here in the now, checking in with my connection. I am releasing my need to know, for I know nothing compared to the Truth. All of us are waking up from a dream, and for awhile some will feel despondent at what they see, and some will be enraged, but in the end, all of it comes back to what the Truth is. That can only be discovered in the lands inside of you, inside of me, inside of all of us.
Are we ready to own our internal Bush and internal Bin Laden? Are we ready to end our power play? May we now be ready to acknowledge that we are all far travelers in a strange land, and that we are tired of the game, the charade, and ready to find and embrace each other again? Will we look into the mirror, through a glass darkly, and see that we are now grown, and it is time to put away childish things? Unless we are, we will not feel secure again for some time to come.
Once again I am reminded by the words of a great one…"ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free!" Let our Truth, the Truth of our Oneness be peace, be conscious, be love unconditional. Then we shall be strange travelers in a strange land no longer.
In Peace,
Isaac

"A Time to Reflect…and Renew"
I have recently returned from my travels to Canada, and it was a wonderful experience to meet so many new friends and see some very good old friends as well. The itinerary in November included Edmonton, Alberta, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, and I am especially grateful to all of my sponsors and the workshop participants for making me feel so at home and supported. Thank you Canada!!
While in Edmonton I was blessed with the opportunity to meet two very, very special friends whose names are Howard and Mavis. Howard and Mavis are bottlenose dolphins, and they live, play and show-off inside of the West Edmonton Mall Dolphin Lagoon. I resonate very strongly to the dolphins, and my intuition about my connection to them was validated through my interaction with Howard and Mavis. They give three "performances" daily, and it just looks like great fun for them and for their trainers. I watched them eagerly as they prepared for the show, and I came to understand the sheer joy of life that flows in and through them. They seemed to have very distinct personalities and moods, and they also were very professional about their "jobs" before and during the performance.
Once the show was over, I just sat mesmerized by what I had witnessed. These incredible creatures have the power to literally lighten the heart and rekindle joy, and I recognized the higher emotions of love and gratitude welling up inside of me, cutting through any lower emotional energy like a laser and healing and balancing my energy. It was awesome! Then, the unexpected happened…
One of the dolphins, Howard I believe, slowly cruised by the spot where I was sitting (no one else was near me), and looked at me through the Plexiglas front of the lagoon. Then Howard gently rose to the surface and gently spouted air and water out of his blowhole like a sigh. Mavis was right behind Howard and repeated the same behavior. Then, they both swam around the lagoon and returned to my spot, and did the same thing again. They made four passes in front of me, each one alike with the "look", then the spouting.
I now thought "this has to be a fluke (oops, pun alert!!)." So, I got up and began to walk toward the exit, but I stayed close to the Plexiglas to see what would happen. Around came Howard and Mavis, and they did the same thing for me right where I had moved to!!! Now I WAS excited! One the next pass, I waived at each one as they went by, then made for the exit. At the top of the stairs I looked back and they were nowhere to be seen.
As I reflected on what occurred I came to accept that Howard and Mavis had recognized and honored me. They also honor and love all humans, even those that in their ignorance abuse them consciously or unconsciously. Because of the honor they had given to me, I was reminded how capable we all are to honor and love each other, and by Howard and Mavis' example I see that no matter what may occur in their lives, they judge nothing nor regret nothing. I came away feeling my faith and my connection with Life was renewed.
I went back two days later to visit them again and take some pictures. It was Halloween Day, and I sensed the unspoken fear that parents felt regarding all the warnings and precautions that the media and government agencies had issued about possible "threats" on Halloween. At the show, the children showed none of the concern that was on the faces of their parents and really were enjoying everything about the day. Howard and Mavis were in a different mindset however, and I was aware of it as soon as I saw them. They looked tired and perhaps even a little stressed. They swam sort of lazily and were slow responding to the trainer's commands. It was then that I realized that the dolphins were very aware of the energies from the human parents and human authorities, and they were reflecting and processing these energies.
After the show, they both demanded physical touch and affection from their trainers, and I have never witnessed this type of human/dolphin bonding before. Mavis and her trainer, a young American named Chris, are especially close, and she trusts him so completely. It is almost impossible to describe the beautiful way Chris nurtured and loved Mavis for almost 20 minutes after the show was over, but it was as if a parent was soothing the cares from a child who had been scared or hurt in some way. She was completely upside-down in the water, with her head resting in Chris' lap, and Chris' legs were dangling over her front fins so that she could just float and not be concerned about slipping off.
Slowly, Chris caressed and rubbed under her chin and around her heart, stopping every so often to splash some water on her skin to keep it moist. She remained motionless, opening to receive his attention and assurance. I felt humbled and blessed in that moment. I was witnessing what the human family could be doing more of for each other. Love Is the only Power.
In the reflecting that I have been experiencing since my return I am beginning to touch a deep part inside of me that was almost shattered three months ago, and I am being renewed in my spirit. This part of each of us is the unconditional love and honoring that has seemed almost impossible to maintain in the face of all the harsh frequency of fear and grief after 9/11. Now, as we prepare for the Solstice, Hanukkah and Christmas, may each of us turn to that deep place inside and reflect on our own resiliency, our faith in the inherent purity of all beings, and the recognition of truth about ourselves that can be discovered through the honoring of all life…no matter what form it takes and no matter what choice it makes. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to experience the highest quality and potential of humanity, through the reflection in the eye of a dolphin.
May your Season be full of brightness and joy,
Isaac, Archangel Ariel and the "Team"P.S. May you create a joyous holiday season and experience a prosperous, happy and healthy 2002!
See you in January, and thank you so much for your support and love in 2001. I love you all!
