Revolution ~ Evolution ~ Revelation

Author: Revolution
A new phase of the spiral began Friday 20th Feb 2009. To be even more accurate, I have been able to pin down the time to 6pm on this particular Friday. Why can I pin it down to this time? Well, it was on this day that I returned home from work and for the first time brought my dowsing rods into my home.
Until this time both Gwas and I had thought to dowse inside our houses but for some reason where reluctant to do so. It was as if some force just flipped our minds in another direction when we thought about doing home dowsing. In Jedi terms… “this is not the place you should dowse”
These are not the droids you are looking for
As to why I was able to bring the rods in and dowse my home on this day? I have no idea. There was no particular circumstances that I can describe other than the will to do was stronger than the resistance to forget.
That eventful Friday evening I dowsed my house completely and thoroughly. So much so that for the first time since I had moved into it, I felt that I knew it well. In my mind and indeed on paper I was intimately familiar with its energetic flows, ebbs and powers.
I was able to discern what and how things were imbalanced and, indeed how to correct them. For this post it doesn’t matter what and how it was done. It suffices to say that the spiral began then.
When I named this chapter Revolution my thoughts where of the energy revolution that had been re-birthed at that time.
Evolution
Since that fateful Spring day my work in the domain of energies has taken quantum leaps. I would be remiss if I said it had only taken a quantum leap for I believe and sense that it has shifted (or evolved) several times over the Spring ~ Summer ~ Autumn of this year.
It seems to me that the more one works with energy the more sensitive one gets. That makes sense really since such a phenomenon is applicable to any field. However my point here is that dowsing energies and following the questioning path that is laid out by intuition on an almost daily basis starts to bleed (and has bled) into all facets of life. Now for example, energies are more detectable and traceable without the use of dowsing rods (still, though it is useful to confirm with the rods) also intuitive hints are more discernible to.
To some extent, last year was a time of measurement and exploration of the energies. This year is (has been) about deriving meaning, purpose and usage of those energies. For instance manipulating the energies that flow through home environments is a skill that I have explored on several occasions this year. To create an environment suitable to the purposes of use has been the objective of these exercises.
Healing trees and other external areas is another path that I have travelled this year. The mentioning of this is relevant to the topic of evolution because last year you wouldn’t have seen me being so interested in trees.
Crow Totem
An interesting development and completely un-anticipated at the beginning of the year was a commune evolution. It began with the auspicious signs of Crows. Which according to shamanism is the totem that guides one along magical paths. In hind sight this seems to have been an apt totem for me.
Although I still feel drawn to Crows, I quickly became enamoured by the Tree totem (was this an evolutionary step?) And so since late Spring I have been very much involved in communing with Tree.
Knowledge, wisdom, sustenance, beauty, fruitfulness, solidity, unity, faith, interconnectedness, understanding, protection, good health, wonder, happiness, endurance, creativity, nurturing instincts, and the power of giving.
According to this site, the above are a selection of characteristics associated with the Tree totem. The bold ones are ones that I have personally experienced this year from my Tree communes.
Tree Totem
It was a visitation to a 4000 year old Yew tree that led me to my next and current phase in evolution. That of spirit commune. As yet I have not embraced this idea fully however it keeps drawing my attention. What form it will take and how it will manifest itself is going to be interesting, since both Crow and Tree have garnered behavioural changes, particularly Tree.
spirit
This evolution has manifested emotional, mental and energetic changes. These have been personal to the extreme, for instance the mental understandings that I have drawn from this year are personal truths that are only applicable to me and only at this time.
I have a feeling that next year will see the inclusion of the physical domain. Where lies the spiritual domain? I’m going to leave that one un-answered (for the moment).
Revelation
The keenest revelation that I will report here is that of coming to the understanding that, far from going into the wilds (of knowledge) and seeking a path. That lesson was there simply because I wanted it to be there.
Going forth looking for a path to follow in and of itself created that path. Does that sound esoteric and weird? Be that as it may. Intuitive Dowsing (this is a new term which I will define later) has led me to conclude that we are co-creators of the world that surrounds us.
This understanding (or revelation) has culminated in the need now to discern a path that I wish to create and follow. Once I have knowledge of this then dowsing and energy work will take on a new facility…that of showing me how I can co-create the path that I wish to follow.
See how subtly the balance has shifted? Whereas before I was looking for a path from without i.e. shouting to the heavens to “show me a way”. The heavens has shouted back the very same question “show me a way”. So now I am going to show “it” a way.
2009 passed silently away under the auspicious eye of a blue full moon, for those who saw the sign was there. The next turn on the spiral has begun. New pastures await…
