Traveler Between Worlds

Traveler between Worlds knows that this material world is but one Dream. We have created it to ground us. But to touch the Sacred, we must explore and experience the many Worlds beyond this one.

Travelers have done this for thousands of years in every civilization. It was taught in Mystery Schools, and passed on to initiates, who learned to expand their consciousness. But we can do this today. Plus, we do this every night, whether we remember the Dreams or not.

Conscious Dreaming is an active meditation that carries us to places Unknown. We encounter messengers in other Beings or Spirit Animals. Beautiful lands are revealed in full color, to explore and discover new levels of ourselves. It’s always surprising, and something we would never have ‘thought’ of, since this is beyond the thinking mind. This goes deeper into the subconscious, a place full of symbols and adventures.

But it’s always your journey. No one else is driving the boat but you. Having an intention is a good way to begin. I used to intend to get an answer to a question. Other times I’d ask what my next painting should be. At one point, I was meeting up with 3 Kachinas who would hold up the next painting I should do. That was an interesting time. Sometimes I’d ask about someone who has passed over. Answers would always come, but in The Dreaming, everything is in images, colors, and busy activities. This is your Soul talking, so listen carefully.

Traveler Between Worlds knows a journey can disappear like a Dream.

A journal to keep track of all you’ve seen and done really helps. Some call this their Book of Shadows. It’s a record of the Other World’s revelations.

Years ago, I would get up early, and sit quietly and meditate before getting ready to teach high school. I felt it would bring peace to me and the classroom. But for a long time, I only saw beautiful colors. Turquoise, gold, and rose tones appeared and I’d be filled with them. But once I took a shaman workshop, the doors of perception opened, and I’ve never gone back.

I’d start with a place I knew in this world. I envisioned a deep hole in the roots of an old tree as my entry point. Then I traveled down, fast! Part was like a slide, then stairs that I nearly flew over, going deeper into the Earth. I came out to a large cave with a stream flowing through it. There I asked for my spirit animal, something that would show itself to me 3 times.

A white owl, a horse, and other creatures appeared. At the far end the cave opened to another world where the Kachinas live. But for now, I saw the owl again and explored the artifacts in the cave.

Finally I asked if the Owl was my Guide. There She was. Huge, white, and flying right through my face! I quickly returned to this world and recorded everything. White Owl has been with me for many years.

So try expanding your view beyond this world. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and set an intention. See what happen. Another thing to try is at night, before drifting off to sleep, ask to go to other Dream Worlds to bring back knowledge to this life. It may be the deepest sleep you’ve ever had. It’s all happening whether you remember it or not. But record what you do remember. It’s the experience of a lifetime.
