Yesterday, we were at the Hot Springs to meet my husband's brother, to caravan back to Denver for my step-son's funeral. I was in our favorite pool the pool temperatures were quite hot.

The pools are made of cemented river rock and there are unique beautiful designs on each hand-picked rock. I looked at this rock in front of me, and saw this scene - like clouds over a mountain range:

First I saw the heart, which silhouettes the back legs of a running Buffalo, then I saw that the Buffalo Bull was being bitten by a Dragon, and then I saw a Baby Buffalo not far off in the distance. Next, as I read from left torighright, I saw a Turtle floating in the sky and a Golden Eagle standing on the right side of the Mountain, just below the Turtle. The whole scene is in the mouth of a Dragon.

I KNEW IT MEANT SOMETHING BIG, SO I MEMORIZED IT.

Today I was instructed to paint it. The image came to me while I was working on a client and a voice told me to paint it, today. I used collage elements from test paper from the beginning of the Lunar Months project which I did on December 21st, the Solstice, so I am including this in the Lunar Month's Collection from the December 21st pull.

I will be publishing that piece tomorrow on the last Lunar Day of the Moonth.

The Message

Nature will provide the lesson. It's your choice how you will receive it. Nature Loves You, but it doesn't care if the lessons are painful or pleasurable. That's up to you. If you are surrendered to Nature - as Nature is the Creator and we are the Creation - then the lesson's will not be as painful. If you are not surrendered and you think you are a "co-creator" or "a creator" - the lessons will be painful.

The lesson is to "Know Thyself" in all situations. The Dragon is a 4th Dimensional Wisdom Creature - neither "evil" or "good" - a provider of lessons. We used to be able to see 4th Dimensional Creatures when we were not as enslaved as we are now. Originally, we came from Creatures which were partly 4th Dimensional. All of Nature is partly 4th Dimensional and only partly "here" - except humans, as we continuously get more and more cut off from the causal dimension - the Astral Dimension.

Pain is the beginning of spiritual growth. A physically painful surrender often causes harm to "presumed innocents". A baby may lose it's parent if the parent insists upon putting off their lessons. The Buffalo was caught unsuspecting and cannot outrun or outfight the Dragon. In Reality, those who are "innocent" in this life, are paying for unbalanced books from another lifetime. That doesn't make it "right", however, for humans to perpetrate evil upon other sentient beings, and Nature will, through the Law of Cause and Effect, keep track of every Cause and every Effect.

BE THE TURTLE. Go within and find stillness and connection with the Creator for every idea and action. You will be safe and slow. You will be connected. You will know right action. You will be met where you are and you will have a constant companion in the Astral, who will guide you and keep you on the High Road.

The Golden Eagle, a ferocious air predator standing on the ground equals the strength of Tortoise.

Tortoise goes within and connects with the Light and is safe from most predators. The answers are in the clouds and patterns of Nature. Become a Master Cloud Reader and you will tune in to the Astral.

The Dragon is a creature of the Astral. Become a creature of the Astral and you will become a fair opponent to anything on the physical plane because you will receive private guidance that will help you live free in all of your situations and encounters. Even the evil ones who dwell in the Astral are nothing because they are in and from the darkness - which is only the absence of Light. This is Dragon's Wisdom.

HOW TO BE THE TURTLE?

Everyone finds their own way but you can start with a simple meditation practice where you sit quietly. You can use a word - like TM or Centering Prayer. Work up to sitting for 20 minutes and you can do this once or twice a day. From there you can pray and ask The Creator what you should do next, and you will be led on your own path that is perfect for you.

When you encounter conflict, notice what goes on in your body, and go within to find silence. Conflict should be handled with low tones and non-agressive language. If you cannot do that, work on letting go of attachments and outcomes. I pray for God's Will to be done whenever there is a snarl amongst people.

I always pray whenever I feel doubt or agitation and wait for an intuitive thought or direction. I cannot hear my Intuition when I have fear so I have to wait for the fear to subside and then the answer will come.

Moving slowly

There is nothing that needs to be done right now. If there is an emergency situation - things just seem to happen quickly and purposefully, especially if I pray. But most decisions can wait at least 24 hours.
