Thunder Birds Sitting on My Roof

There Are Thunderbirds Sitting On My Roof

I stepped out of my truck on a rainy spring night and turned to look at the roof of my landlord's house and I could see/feel these huge birds sitting on the roof. I couldn't see them physically in this reality but I can feel see them from the non-ordinary reality the dream time. I thought to myself, "What the heck, I might as well wave at them to acknowledge their presence, I'm mean after all, it was only polite." So I waved and I thought they nodded back as if to say, "We see you too Duende." Then I giggled to myself thinking that I had one vivid imagination and went down into my basement suite to watch a bit of late night T.V.

As the months past by I would wave every time I arrived late home at them in the evening and they would nod back. It was comforting although I thought I was completely off my nut I still continued to do it. It was fun. I counted four of them in total.

While I was watching late night television (as I have a habit of doing) I would go up on the roof in my imagination (so I thought) and hang out with them because hey I was a thunderbird too. It was so cool to chat with friends. And we'd sit there and just share company as good friends so often do.

Now at that time I was clowning as "Big Wings" basically I was this Bird Clown in a tuxedo that had wings that I had sewn on that would extend to create an 8ft wing span. And I had a bright blue face and a realistic eagle’s beak that some one in the movie industry had made for me that I would glue onto my face. I would put this on and go storytelling to kids throughout the city. One day on a Saturday afternoon I stepped out of the basement suite in full make up (headed for a show) to see my land lady on the back lawn with there 4 year old son Daniel. He looked right up at me with huge awe and fascination. I said hello as the character and headed to off to do my show downtown.

It was now late August and it was 2 am in the morning I had my window open because of the heat and I could hear Daniel crying upstairs. This must have been the 8th of 9th time I had heard him crying throughout the summer and I became concerned so the next time I saw my land lady I asked her, "Is Daniel okay I heard him crying the last couple of nights?"

“Oh yes,” she said. “He’s fine he just wakes up in the middle of the night cause he’s had a bad dream.”

“What sort of dream?” I asked.

“Oh,” she said, “You won’t believe it if I told you.”

“Try me.”

“He thinks that they are these huge birds on the roof.” And then she laughed nervously. “And hears the kicker, he keeps saying: “Bird Clown on roof mummy, he thinks your one of them. Isn’t that crazy. Kids. Go figure.”

“Yah kids they’re incredible all right.”

Sometimes I think this stuff is all in my head and because of that I never even thought to consider little Daniel. The birds and I decided to meet on another roof and let Daniel have good night sleeps.(C)

Christianity/Buddhism = A whole new crazy spin on New Age Spirituality

The New Age Movement is filled with good intentions and combines all the spiritual beliefs from around the world. This is all a good thing, right? Well mostly but the more and more circles I went to the more and more it became head shaking

It took me some time to realize that it's filled with hierarchy, shame and guilt. The New Age has  converted buddhism, taoism and other enlightened religions in quazis christianity.

You deal with Christ Consciousness but with a New Age twist. Better? Haha, No. It still it comes with shame and guilt. I've grown up in the Anglo Western Religions of shame and guilt why does it have to rear its ugly head in this new movement?  But it does. For example: A person running the circle after a time becomes exalted and then low and behold he/she becomes like a "Priest" and heaven forbid if you question there insight because then you are questioning there spiritual authority. Lord of lords why? Mostly from as far as I can tell they are still reeling in pain. Also most of them have come from some form of christian back grounds. Beware of the Recovering Catholic or Christian. The shame and guilt from what they had suffered follows them like a ball and chain.

I've known countless New Agers who  have Arc Angels, like Saint Micheal and Saint Gabriel with them so if you question them then you are questioning the divine it self. Some even channel the Christ  Consciousness so if you question that then you are ostracised and unwelcome to the circle, their circle. Wait a minute I know what you're thinking, wasn't it everyone's circle?  Ah not any more because now they are with God and channeling Christ you are questioning the divine. Don't do that or you're in big trouble "Shame and Guilt" and you won't go to....Um heaven?

The next process among the fine leaders of New Age circles, or anyone wanting to be apart of them you have to be a part of all the Correct New Age Speak. And that that is mind boggling spiritual double speak.

This is Christian Anglo Western New Age double speak, messes with and twists all other religions and belief systems such as: buddhism, taoism, paganism and any other "Ism's" that are out there.

What to do? How to survive? What path to follow?

Follow your own self, your own path, find fulfillment of your own. (c)
