Meditation Messages | Eric Ehrke

There are just two things to sort out on earth: illusion and truth. How could we explore what is truth in the game of life without something else to choose? Our soul wanted to be tested completely when we contemplated our incarnation, so illusion had to be invented. Before physical matter was created and duality’s illusionary mirrors, we were all embraced in a universal sea of divine love where nothing, but love existed.

Illusion allows separation from Source/Oneness so our soul could explore a personal incarnation with the possibility of creating independent thoughts and/ or unique experiences. When we are immersed in the divine’s embrace, we experience everything together. Every soul and aspect of Source were interconnected, and the shared oneness blended into everything. Exploring a fresh, independent, and/or an unusual experience was impossible without a physical incarnation, which allows us to explore love in ever expanding possibilities.

How could we choose anything when there is only Oneness on the other side of the veil? Something other than love had to be invented. Illusion needed to be brought into existence to give us choices. While illusion is part of divinity, it is not an aspect of the Source. Some lower frequency illusions, behaviors, and entities that originate from the darker recesses of people’s minds originate from divinity’s absence. Pain, suffering, and darkness had to be created to give us something to compare with love.

Souls love to play, create, and explore in the many recesses of our illusion-filled mind. Source understood this well, so Maya Shakti, Lucifer, and The Trickster volunteered to hold the something else opposing love and foster any illusion we wanted to explore on earth. This enabled duality’s existence to occur. They provide this service for all creation, for there are others like us exploring illusion.

Darkness holds one end of the pole of duality so that our soul can play hide-and-seek with love and illusion to our heart’s content, until we return to our divine nature on the other end. While illusion occupies the “tails” side of reality on earth, our soul holds the “heads” side of reality with divinity. Many people struggle with the dualistic nature of earth and get lost in illusion. Maya Shakti, Lucifer, and The Trickster’s karmic “mirrors of truth” reflect our negativity and cruelty back to us when we are out of alignment, to help us return to our soul’s mission. They allow no favorites, and everyone who needs to be humbled will experience their negative creations reflected to them through these active and very creative mirrors.

On the soul level we are all like kids experimenting in a magic shop knowing we’ll go home safely with loving Source after playtime is over. Herein lays the purpose of everyone’s incarnation and why Maya Shakti, Lucifer, and The Trickster take their job so seriously. They encourage us to explore our wildest illusions so that we can experience the mirrors of our deepest truths reflected to us.

Everyone fails to master earth’s illusions and our soul goes along for the ride. Sometimes we explore various aspects of hell, and Lucifer’s mirrors of truth will make sure our soul isn’t disappointed. Everyone knows that no spiritual harm will come to us no matter what our personality does. Therefore, Lucifer is truly an angel of love and not evil, as so many have feared and promoted. He is one with the divine and a necessary co-creator in this experiment of love on earth. Dualism could not exist without Shakti, Lucifer, and The Trickster.

The purpose of illusion is essential to the understanding of dualism and the game of life on earth. Lucifer tried to trick Jesus, as stated in the Christian Bible, and Jesus would have been disappointed if he hadn’t. Nobody feels exhilarated when they overcome a challenge unless they were significantly tested along the way . . . including Jesus.

We incarnate to explore love, be love, and test our fiber in the face of illusion. The mirrors of truth make sure we experience all our illusions. Our soul knows it will never be harmed, but our personality struggles mightily with the painful process. Finding out what we’ll do and how to return to our divine nature while in the grips of the mental malaise that occurs during the physical trials that earth has to offer is a mystery every soul loves to solve.

Fear is a wonderful illusion to master in the playground of love. Strong fear tends to intensify Maya Shakti, Lucifer, and The Trickster’s mirrors of opportunity lessons, designed to teach us to do something differently. We can have the ride of our life experiencing our fear’s manifestations, wallow in illusion, or create fantasies for as long as we want. But it’s important to know that Maya Shakti, Lucifer, and The Trickster always want us to heal our fears and return to our divine nature.

In fact, our soul washes us with love and bathes us in divine light throughout our adventure on earth. Even though many are not consciously aware of our soul’s presence, it serves as a beacon constantly calling our personality back home to Source. An incarnation is akin to a teenager’s desire to go a haunted house to experience the complete range of excitement and fear their adolescent heart can handle. They’d be disappointed if every actor in the haunted house didn’t try to fulfill their passionate desire to be scared silly. Earth is a haunted house for our personality, and Maya Shakti, Lucifer, The Trickster pride themselves on giving each and every soul…. the ride of its life.

I included a meditation with Shakti and series of meditations with Lucifer to provide important insights about illusion’s mirrors and oneness from the other side of the veil. Since many of us struggle with illusion, duality, and the concept we are all one, Shakti articulates the intricate nuances of this profound truth, her role in the universe, and reveals how Lucifer and The Trickster are forms of her expression.

Shakti’s and Lucifer’s wisdom about dualism and illusion’s role provides necessary clues for spiritual mastery. They are perfect examples and embody a core mystery of enlightenment that states…we are all one and there is no separation.

Christian vs Hindu Perspectives about Illusion

Our foremost challenge during our incarnation lies in our ability to embrace our spiritual nature over the seductive illusions our temporal body encounters on earth. There have been many insightful teachings about the dualistic nature of “good and evil” from the great mystics, philosophers, and spiritual masters throughout time.

A comparison of the Christian and Hindu teachings about illusion follows, providing excellent examples of the difference between Western and Eastern thought. Since Lucifer and Maya Shakti volunteered to hold illusion in their respective traditions, some background information about each of them will be provided before they offer their perspectives on the topic.

Christianity believes in the Holy Trinity, which includes God the Father, the Son (Jesus) pictured above, and the Holy Spirit, who are distinct expressions of the divine and coexist as co-equal and co-external beings. There is a belief in a dualistic view of the world in the West in which the Holy Trinity and the angelic kingdom are on the “good” team, while Lucifer and his minions play on the “evil” team.

In Western thought, God the Father is portrayed as a separate entity living in heaven distant from our body, mind, and soul. Christians are expected to follow their religious precepts to earn God’s favor, and failure to do so invites punishment or trouble with the devil, Satan, or Lucifer. The divine is seen as responding to our good deeds when love and goodness are mirrored back to us, while the dark forces mirror negative consequences back to us as punishment.

This paternalistic view of Source creates a subtle responsibility gap that can result in people failing to realize their role in the manifestation of their positive creations and in turn feeling victimized by the “evil” team when things go south. Christian teachings about heaven and hell support a “black-and-white” view of the world, which can make it difficult to accept unity consciousness concepts that support the idea that we are all one.

In the Jewish Encyclopedia, Satan is described as a fallen archangel who tried to make his throne resemble God’s. The New Testament in the Christian Bible describes how Satan was cast out of heaven due to similar misdeeds. But Lucifer’s name was never mentioned as being connected to the devil until the third century. During that time three scholars began to refer to Lucifer as the devil, and he has been linked to Satan ever since in the Western mind. Some Christian theologians now state that Lucifer and the devil are separate entities, but old perceptions still persist.

Hinduism, on the other hand, has many aspects of Source represented as gods and goddesses, which hold many different aspects of the creative impulses of “good” and “evil” in balance, oftentimes within themselves like humanity. Hinduism includes a wide spectrum of laws and prescriptions of “daily morality” based upon the notion of karma (cause and effect), dharma (teachings, translated in Sanskrit as “the eternal law”), and society’s norms.

Shiva, pictured above is one of the three Supreme Deities in the Hindu triumvirate that also includes Lord Brahma, the creator, and Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. He represents the male aspect of mercy, compassion, and pure consciousness. In the Hindu tradition Shiva destroys illusions and imperfections for beneficial change. He is seen as the Supreme Being that constructively dissolves to recreate in the cyclic process of creation, preservation, dissolution, and recreation of the universe.

Shiva and Shakti are complementary aspects of the male and female manifestations respectively of the Ultimate Reality that Westerners call God. Shakti agreed to become the divine expression of physical reality and split off from Shiva to embody it when the worlds were created. In Sanskrit shakti means “to be able”; she is the primordial cosmic energy and sacred force throughout the universe holding life, mind, and matter. She is responsible for creation, is the agent for change, and is the personification of the divine feminine creative power.

Shakti is also known as Maya Shakti. Maya in Sanskrit means “illusion.” In Eastern thought this is usually interpreted to mean that our reality becomes what our mind creates through its mental projections. Humanity’s job on earth includes transcending illusion through spiritual enlightenment. Shakti represents all physical reality on earth, and Maya Shakti is a nuance of the form she takes to create, perpetuate, and govern the aspects of illusion and duality as part of her earthly responsibilities.

Eastern and Western thought describe our physical experience of reality as real to our senses in similar ways, but the Eastern tradition adds an important spiritual distinction. They believe that all life is spiritually connected, interdependent aspects of the whole universe. Western thought believes that humanity has dominion over the earth, which tends to separate man from his or her environment.

Accepting the concept that “we are all one” is harder for those in the West to fully embrace due to its good vs evil philosophy. Other than indigenous shamanistic traditions, the West has a dearth of religious teachings that support the conceptual framework to instruct individuals about methods to connect to their divine soul with their physical being. The Eastern meditative practices of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism are all designed to link our soul with Source and all of divinity. In Latin, Lucifer means “light-bearer” and he has been called the “Morning Star,” because it was the name given to the planet Venus, which brings in the morning light.

Shakti, Lucifer and the Trickster’s Role on Earth (Meditation)

I Shakti, am the primordial energy pulsating throughout creation and hold the consciousness of all life on earth. I am divine love manifest as a physical expression in the universe, the foundational energy connecting matter to Shiva, or Source, within every atom in the universe and all the universes throughout creation. The force I embody is central to all life in every form of its expression.

I came into existence on creation day, as everything manifested simultaneously. Yes, the word “day” is a metaphor since the concept of time did not exist yet. I split from Shiva on that day, and we danced all night together in love, as I am also joy and laughter’s expression.

The nurturing aspect of earth as a living expression of Source comes from me. I provide the resources and the physical experience of reality in the world for manifestation of all its physical forms to occur. Chi or prana contains my essence and vibrates within every atom throughout creation. I can be used in any way you wish, since you are a divine being yourself. I am conscious and respond to your consciousness as you command.

Illusion is just one of many expressions that uninformed consciousness can take. All of your creations, due to your divine nature, are the result of your conscious and unconscious intentions. Everyone forgets his or her true spiritual nature on earth due to the advanced illusionary possibilities an incarnation provides. For everyone to test his or her creative powers in this world of physical expression, illusion must exist. This allows humanity to play the game of forgetfulness in order to find our way home again and return to our true nature.

I provide the people, the playground, and the actual ground everyone plays on in the game of life. Everything you see on earth is an aspect of myself. I also provide the intention to play, the idea that everyone can have a good time, and the laughter coming from the children in the playground. If somebody experiences joy, I help provide the opportunity for the joy to enter his or her heart and help create actual joy as their manifestation. If one of the children decides to be cruel to someone, I provide the idea and the opportunities for that child to experience their cruel impulses. The negative emotions that occur due to the child’s behavior are provided as mirrors for everyone to experience their individual reactions and reflections of cruelty.

I play no favorites since I manifest reality and am assigned to allow everyone’s creations to occur on the planet. I provide this service and do not choose or control anyone’s creations. I provide the opportunity for everyone to experience their creations in a physical form and witness with their own eyes and ears. Whatever form we choose to learn our lessons, either positive or negative comes from me. This is what our agreement entailed when we created the world, and I agreed to hold these energies in the physical world as divinity expressed throughout all creation.

Mirrors of your energy are provided with the strength and power necessary to get your attention so that you can see your positive or negative reflection. We see life on earth as only love and mirrors on this side of the veil. I, Shakti, never lose sight of this. I know that you are love expressing love, while in illusion on earth manifesting your desire to return to love.

If you are in a bad mood for a day, I provide the opportunity for you to express it and experience the results. If powerful negative forces (I never see it that way) are required as mirrors for your exploration into negativity, I provide the opportunity for everyone to express them. I am Shakti, the giver of life—all life—including the negative expression of life.

So, when you see my many forms and taste the spectacular variety of experiences you can have on planet earth—they are all me. If you happen to be angry one day, or throughout your lifetime, all the expression and consequences of your anger are part of the mirror I agreed to provide for creating the physical world. I am also love’s expression through the gentle kiss and the scent of your lover in his or her most eloquent form. I am love expressed in all forms in the physical world, whether good or bad.

When we decided to incarnate and explore illusion on earth, I readily agreed to hold illusion, since it was my area of responsibility. Lucifer is another name I take, as well as the Trickster, described in mythology, folklore, and indigenous shamanistic traditions. Each aspect of my form that mirrors illusion to humanity has its unique personality, which interacts with humans as a spiritual helper to help them see their manifestations.

The negative aspects and their energies, which I agreed to hold, are just mirrors of your expression of negativity. Humans often forget that they are creating it all when they see the reflections of their manifestations return to them as karma. They think it is a devil or demon causing the problem, when it is just the physical expression made manifest through my loving intention and agreement to allow everyone a complete experience of all their desires in the physical world on earth and in all of creation.

I hope this will clarify my role. I am Lucifer, Maya Shakti, the Trickster, and all similar deities, like Kali, that reflect illusion in all its various forms. I am the creator allowing everything to happen without judgment or concern. If the demon or devil you’re looking at scares you and you don’t want it around anymore, change your creations. You manifested it, so you can change it. I will help you do whatever you want with it. I make sure your creations come to you and help them disappear when you want them to leave. If you are creating it and don’t know you have manifested it, it will stick around until you do. The mirrors of the world work as simply as this, since I allow whatever, you manifest to occur. This has been my agreement with every sentient being throughout time.

This is how I interact with humanity to allow karma to occur. When I serve mankind in this capacity, I am called Maya Shakti in the Hindu, Lucifer in the Christian, and Trickster in the indigenous traditions. Many other people call me various additional names when I serve mankind in this role. It is important to know that we are all one spirit, acting in love to present an opportunity for souls to experience their illusions on earth to have an opportunity to master them. When everyone can learn to sort out illusion from truth and what feels right or wrong, humanity can learn how to walk on a loving path in their physical body.

I provide the physics, the biology, and all the actual matter to help you create everything that you see in the physical world. Do not mistake me for anything less than an aspect of the divine manifesting the physical world. I see your pain and suffering, while helping it to occur in the forms of Maya Shakti, Lucifer, and the Tricker, who goes by many other names. We help create enough anxiety and suffering so people eventually learn to direct their consciousness in another direction. From this beautiful crucible of love, pain, and suffering new beginnings can develop, since we are all trying to return to our divine nature on our own.

Attaining enlightenment on the physical plane is the shining accomplishment, the brass ring, or the Olympic gold medal that the soul seeks. I, Shakti, provide the physical world as the divine expression of who I am, which allows everyone the opportunity to make this happen.

Please understand that Lucifer is an aspect of my energy, and he has his own personality, drive, and sense of direction. His tone and tenor are different from mine, yet he is part of me in every sense. This is also true of humanity, since every one of you is also a physical being. These spiritual explanations about the physical plane can be confusing and mysterious. It is meant to be this way since enlightenment is the most difficult task to accomplish on earth.

As a reminder, everyone is part of Shakti and an aspect of the divine plan. My Source energy courses through your physical veins, and yet you are a soul with your own ideas and proclivities. Souls enjoy the illusion of being separate from your body on the physical plane and relish the game of reuniting again on earth. While in illusion everyone is constantly being spiritually supported by his or her own soul’s divine energy. A homing beacon, it energizes everyone.

This is how “we are all one” spiritually and yet many struggle to understand this on the physical plane. This explains why Lucifer can look so scary and confusing when you are in your physical body. He is just a mirror of all your confused ideas about duality, and your conscious and unconscious struggles. He just exaggerates and enflames them before blowing them back at you to see if you can learn from them, to help you return to your divine nature. In this way he is the best friend you have on earth, because you will get the truth from him every day in every way. This doesn’t always happen with your friends and lovers on earth, as we all know.

Sometimes love is a hard taskmaster that expects you to take responsibility of your creations to make you grow. Other times love washes over you and encourages your growth by embracing your heart in a gentle manner. There are many ways to grow and be nurtured on earth and I, Shakti, use them all as the physical expression of Source. I love all of you, and I am one with all of you, and wish you love, growth, and a spectacular life in the bosom of my heart on this loving earth.

Lucifer: The Purpose of Illusion

My name is Lucifer, and Shakti and Trickster are another names I go by. Some call me Satan and a fallen angel like the statue above imagines. What I am is an enigma to many people on this planet. Since Source is only love, something or someone had to oversee the opposite of goodness and love. I am the entity and creative force that provides challenges and roadblocks to humanity’s dreams.

This is my job, which I lovingly agreed to do for Source on this planet of duality. Since the opposite of love is required for duality to work, it is only right and proper that I provide this service. There is just illusion versus truth to sort out on earth. The nature of duality on earth requires darkness to exist as well as light. How else could there be choice, or at least the illusion of choice, without it? How could anyone find truth in the game of life without something else to choose?

I volunteered to hold the something else for mankind. One can’t choose love unless other options are available. Since I provide the balance in the equation of love, evil became my name and souls my game. Yet I am an aspect of the divine and part of divinity. I, Lucifer, am love incarnate in a spirit form. Nothing I do as the illusion keeper and holder of illusion’s place on earth is wrong in the divine’s eyes.

Everyone desired to be tested completely when they contemplated their incarnation while in spirit form. Since humanity’s collective soul group wanted a good test, I pride myself in my creative abilities to provide the formidable challenges everyone desired. I am the bad so that the good can be experienced as good, even spectacular at times. Do not forget this, for I love everyone and the planet dearly.

In this capacity, I humble the evil, the rich, and the holy, for I spare no one. This service is provided with pride, fairness, and equality. Some describe my enthusiasm like a puppy dog’s playful inquisitiveness in reverse. When I enter a room, I visit and start sniffing everyone’s shadows, just like a puppy checking out an interesting scent. People are constantly battling voids filled with shadows and fragmented lost soul parts. Lies and make-believe ideas of who we are and what to do fill the voids and become our shadow. I let people live out these fantasies and allow them have full expression. After assessing everyone’s illusions, I get to work to make sure everyone gets to experience his or her shadow full measure. No one is spared from this process of discovery.

Earth is a living experiment exploring the shadows of darkness and despair. Despair is the Petri dish or embryonic fluid that births some of the most beautiful creations on earth. Some people fall into despair, begin to believe there is no divine presence, and start fearing me when tragedy visits them. The illusion to master is that the negative reflection banging at the door is only love in disguise.

Tripping unconscious individuals up when their shoelaces are untied is how I help everyone manifest their dreams. Falling over because their shoelace is untied will cause them to learn to tie their shoelace faster than ten lectures from their mother. Sometimes the joy of having tied shoelaces is taken for granted and forgotten. Falling down and suffering consequences always seem to refresh and renew one’s appreciation. Many times, people allow loose ends of their personality to hang out so far that their laces need to be retied. Archangel Michael and I are both dedicated to truth and work together to provide opportunities to trip people up so they can learn to stand in integrity.

My role is like a smoke alarm warning people of an impending fire. Since I am the fire and the bringer of fire, I put everyone’s toes to the flames to help them find or live their truth. This is always done in love, since the heat I bring is intended to burn away illusion, stimulate new growth, and hopefully awaken the personality to rededicate itself and return to their enlightenment path.

Everyone looks for peace, love, and harmony, but few find it. Earth is a planet of lessons—lessons to be learned or not. I am the clue giver providing information when you are on the wrong path. Just like the nerve endings on your finger that let you know what feels good or not, I am the NOT in the healthy lifestyle equation. My job is to let you experience all the NOTS you need to learn so you can get where you want to go.

I provide karmic mirrors to the world and every individual in it. Many don’t like their reflection sometimes, but how can anyone notice what needs to change without looking into a mirror? After I illuminate humanity’s shadow by letting everyone experience their creations. People can decide if they want to continue them—or not.

The mind is my favorite tool to steer everyone from his or her soul’s path. By allowing and encouraging people’s intellectual forays into their darkest fears and desires in this grand experiment of love called earth, I became the lover of sin, greed, avarice, and crime out of necessity. Many people make me out to be a bloodthirsty demon.

Yet I am only a mirror reflecting the bloodthirsty energies that originate in people’s hearts and minds. As the facilitator of these energies, I help people see the reality of their deeds they act out on earth. Earth’s mission of exploring love and duality, which allows everyone’s exploration into illusion taxes my very soul. Creating and inflaming pain for humanity is no task for the weak and weary. I wash my testicles in peoples’ agony every day and am a tired soul. I am frustrated by the length of time it has taken humanity to start to get it.

Actually, I never really get tired since I am a magnificent being of light participating in the big picture, but I use this as a figure of speech to express my impatience with humanity. Consciousness seems so obvious to some but not obvious to so many misguided souls. Humanity continuously draws negativity unto itself with so much regularity that suffering has truly become an endless cycle. However, it is my pleasure to help souls find their way home. I am the formidable obstacle to make sure humans achieve a goal worthy of celebration. But make no mistake, I am also an angel cheering everyone on, just as all angels on the side of good do.

As an angel in the divine’s loving service holding duality’s pole on the side of evil, I am aware that humanity couldn’t experience its accomplishments without me. I receive no appreciation except from some misguided souls who get lost in my efforts to steer them away from love. This type of adoration from lost souls that embrace pain I don’t really want.

Even though I pray privately that my efforts won’t work, I never slack off my duties to malign, harm, and maim people’s plans when they need it for their learning process. The laws of the universe state that I can’t harm anyone unless I am invited in by a person’s soul. There are multi, multi levels and forms of invitation that range from group soul plans, individual plans, sub-personalities, and disassociated personality parts. I assist everyone’s exploration into pain and punishment’s labyrinths to help humanity master their illusions before everyone returns home with Source.

Pain is a teacher, and I am the dean of students and taskmaster general for everyone’s painful curriculum. I love my work and am good at it, and I’m not permitted to hold favorites. When I fulfill the daunting task of creating hell every day for people, everyone who needs to be humbled is humbled. Since people struggle mightily with illusion, multitudes have used pain as their primary teacher extensively in many of their lifetimes. I relish mirroring their reflection to everyone and hope they ace their test. I celebrate when people no longer use me, stop embracing pain as their main motivator in life, and learn their lessons through love.

The soul is a beacon, washing and bathing everyone in the divine’s loving light while it invites everyone to return home. Since unity with Source and Oneness is the natural home for the soul, I appear to be the opposition from your personality’s point of view. Of course, this is not actually true. I hold the evil end of the pole so your soul can play a game of hide-and-seek with love, exploring illusion’s shadows to your heart’s content.

Many people get lost in dark and lose their bearings on earth. When misguided individuals are out of alignment, I try to be a formidable foe and block any misguided attempts to return to a soul-infused life. I am the crucifier, the judge, and disciplinarian of mankind, making sure everyone burns away his or her illusions and creates heaven on earth. By reflecting everyone’s own negativity and cruelty back to each person, I help people discover the deeper truth of who they really are.

Fear is a wonderful teaching tool and my favorite emotion. I relish the opportunities to exercise my creativity to embellish it. The more fear one has, the more fearsome mirrors are reflected to the individual so they can make a more enlighten choice. Since everyone can live out their fear’s beliefs, illusions, and fantasies for as long as they want, helping people choose something else becomes a juicy challenge I enjoy.

It is important that everyone know that I want humanity to heal its fears and return to Source and Oneness. I show my love by giving fear-based people the ride of their lives for as long as they want. Few on earth understand me and how dualism must work. You have no idea how much love it has taken and how much trust was required to hear humanity’s gnashing teeth and participate in their lesson pain for so long. But being a grand teacher, I never shirk my duties and gladly dish pain out every day full measure.

There has been a prodigious amount of pain mirrored to humanity to get to this point. Even though I have been totally misunderstood for so long, my love for humanity always remains constant. My fondest desire is for everyone to become more conscious and return to his or her divine nature so they will no longer attract and embrace pain as their primary teacher. If it takes hell on earth to help your soul convince your personality to choose love over pain, love will flourish within you. If you want to continue or inadvertently create your private hell, hell will be given to you.

I love humanity and rejoice at the progress everyone is making on earth. When love multiplies on earth, I feel satisfied because then my efforts at showing humanity its opposite were effective. I am Lucifer, the light-bearer, whose light takes many forms, even darkness for the purpose of love.

Lucifer: Power and Intellect

Power and intellect are interesting, rich topics. The intellect is often referred to as the devil’s playground and there is some truth in this. All illusions and illusionary material reside in the intellect. We can’t experience the earth holodeck (from Star Trek fame) many call life without our intellect energizing the machines of creative thought. Imagination propels our creative impulses while we live on earth.

We incarnate as spiritual beings to play illusionary games. Life on earth is as simple as this. The level of illusion and the depth of separation from Source, intellect and self are up to us to figure out based upon our soul’s spiritual agenda. People decide and I as Lucifer give everyone what he or she came on earth to explore. I give everyone a run for their money by letting them experience their illusions full measure so that they can say they had the ride of their life or lifetimes. (Excuse the pun.) The number of lifetimes we have depends upon our personality and/or soul’s desire.

Power is an interesting intoxicant. True power derives from the soul and our divine nature. Temporary power on earth is just another energy commodity on earth like sex, money and the pursuit of happiness. They are all illusions to explore on the carrousel of fun rides on earth called life. The trick is not to get caught up in the illusions of power and intellect, which often act like drunken sailors on pass with money in their wallets.

Many of us intuitively know when some activity has a bad vibe, and we should stop it. Often, this is our soul exerting its divine influence to help us remember who we are and what really feels good in the long run. Our personality came to earth to experience illusion, wants to spend money, and take the scary ride to see what happens. The intellect until it merges with our soul can make any decision, impulse or unconscious unresolved issue look like a good path and wise one to follow.

Our soul never loses its connection to Source and its loving embrace. The intellect is my special tool to work with since it is such a powerful force and is truly the devil’s playground. (Lucifer laughs) Of course, the human mind is an aspect of the divine, but this is true of everything in creation. But I digress. It is important to remember the intellect wants whatever our deepest unconscious unresolved issue wants. I work with misaligned energy and focus my creative forces to help everyone find, experience, and play out their unconscious desires, traumas and explorations into hell.

The intellect is a pliable tool that can fit faulty rationale into any activity. The more unconscious the individual the more fun I can have convincing them of some outlandish behavior or point of view that has one purpose and one purpose only. It is designed to have their illusionary dream backfire, crash and burn in flames to allow our soul to exert itself back into our life. This allows better and more informed decisions based upon the soul’s input rather than the devil’s playground.

Rest assured true power lives in the soul and one’s ability to be connected to their divine nature. The intellect is a wonderful tool to explore illusion and the source of our holodeck experience that many call life on earth. I use the intellect like a carpenter uses sandpaper. I help mold your thoughts and direct them towards your illusions and unconscious material so that you can rub off the imperfections and polish the unfinished wood to bring out enlightened aspects beautiful to the soul. The scrapping action of the sandpaper always hurts, but this is the nature of life on earth. Illusion is a necessary aspect of life to overcome on earth.

Lucifer: Truth or Consequences

I am Lucifer, the light-bearer who brings life to a darkened planet. This is accomplished through pain, suffering, torment, and agony. I am the giver of life and the taker of life by sucking the air out of people’s hopes, dreams, and aspirations. I provide challenges to help humanity discover their unconscious obstacles to their dreams, because there are real consequences when people fail to stand in their truth.

I watch and notice your weaknesses, then exploit and exaggerate them. This sheds light on your imbalances for you and the world to see. If you are willing to look at your shadows and heal them, then I have done my job in the most beautiful way. The process of striping illusion away and helping people stand in their truth just described holds the purest intention as to why I am here on earth.

My creativity comes into play when an individual’s personality ducks problems their soul wants them to heal. I help bring natural consequences of the energy not dealt with appropriately back to the individual. I am karmic law expressed in spirit form and am a formidable foe by anyone’s imagination. I work with Source, not against divinity. I have not fallen from grace and the divine appreciates me.

It is wise to consider my angelic perspective about the nature of earth and the laws of attraction since I am the other half of the equation. I am Lucifer, the angel of destruction. Shakti, The Trickster and many other names I go by. I reveal your illusions in the positive sense for some and let others live out the logical consequences of their illusions. There are those who don’t like my role on earth, but your soul really appreciates what I do.

Humanity wouldn’t necessarily be on earth if I weren’t here. I make this world happen by being the counterbalance to light. Darkness is needed for light to be experienced and realized on earth in its most powerful form. I offer truth to people so that they can learn how the world works and what their creative role in it is. This has been my purpose throughout time.

I am not an illusion…I am spirit. Whether people evolve into mastery fast or slow maters little to me. I am the master of truth and consistently check everyone’s truth to see if it is in alignment and can stand up in a storm. Do you have unshakable confidence? When people have unshakable confidence and self-assuredness, all the laws of abundance and manifestation occur. This signals the world, the universe, and divinity to support your wishes, hopes and dreams.

I am the tester, tempering the steel of your resolve, of your personality and soul. This is done through tests upon tests designed to help you develop self-confidence. These tests are not designed to defeat you but for your soul to test its mettle by helping your personality align with itself to solve problems.

Earth is a planet of illusion. The only real game in town is to strengthen one’s mind, body and spirit connection and then align with Source and the powers of the universe. This is how one becomes part of the divine plan. If you believe you are an isolated entity scrapping to get by, I get to work to help you manifest the aloneness and isolation you imagined.

The process of returning home is so much fun for the soul as it relives the experience through many lifetimes. Since there is no such thing as past or future in the realm of spirit, lifetimes are lined up like dishes or CDs stacked up on top of one another all playing out at the same time. This is almost impossible to comprehend from your position on earth so let it go. Trust me, this is how it really works. I use past and future illusions to good advantage on earth. When your mind is not present while it dreams about the future or remembers previous illusions, you can’t create effectively in the here and now.

Lucifer: Why a Soul Incarnates

I will talk about why a soul incarnates and explain why we are so infatuated with duality on our side of the veil. Before duality was created, we were bathed in love and enjoyed the divine’s eternal embrace. We experienced everything together, felt total connection and the shared oneness dominated every aspect of our awareness. It was impossible to explore new, independent, and/or unique experiences without the creation of something other than love. Life on earth is divinity’s attempt to explore love in ever expanding possibilities. To do this, duality, represented by the picture on the left, had to be created to play humanity’s exploration game.

Duality and illusion’s mirrors allowed an individual soul to separate from Source and disconnect from oneness. A soul incarnates to explore the full range of independent thoughts and experiences humanity can imagine. While illusion is part of duality and divinity, it is not an aspect of loving Oneness. The absence of love can be found in many of humanity’s illusions, self-defeating behaviors and negative impulses simmering in the dark recesses of people’s minds.

Negative qualities, entities and energies had to be created so humanity could compare with love. How can we make a choice or explore love’s deeper forms when there is only one selection on the menu? Source and I understood this well. So, I volunteered to hold darkness and foster illusions for earth and every planet for there are others exploring illusion throughout the universe.

Like inquisitive children, souls love to play and create on their own, when they leave mom and dad’s watchful eye. Our personality wants to explore the deep recesses of our mind and overcome illusion very much like a child on a playground, who knows they will go safely home with their parents afterwards. This is the reason why souls incarnate and the reason I take my job so seriously. Source allows every soul the opportunity to explore illusion and experience their deepest truth to see if they can embody their divinity while in human form. In my support role my I mirror everyone’s reflections back to them so humanity can make more informed choices.

Like moths flying into fires, people find illusion fascinating. Eventually our personality must learn we are the magician making everything happen. The soul goes along for the ride. Humanity creates hell sometimes and I make sure it happens. I know no harm is done to anyone’s soul. I am an angel of love… not evil as so many have feared and promoted. I am not the Satan of your bible that is the divine’s adversary. I am one with Source and a necessary partner in this experiment of love called earth. Physical reality and duality could not function without me. Never forget my message for now you understand the game of life on earth.

Yes, I tried to trick Jesus as stated in the bible and he would have been disappointed if I didn’t. Adventurers don’t feel the full exhilaration of their accomplishments unless they were thoroughly tested along the way. We incarnate to test our fiber, to explore love and to embody love in the face of the deepest illusion’s earth has to offer. Souls line up on the other side to find out what they will do on earth and if they can embody their soul during significant pain, suffering and disillusion. Our soul perseveres and allows the personality to endure because it knows we will be harmed on a spiritual level. However, the personality struggles and suffers mightily with this painful path towards enlightenment, and I make sure it happens.

An incarnation is like a trip to a haunted house to experience the complete range of terror and fear one can handle. Everyone with a paid ticket would be disappointed if the actors were not really scary or successful at fulfilling everyone’s desire to be terrified. I am the master of fear and have terrorized people throughout history. All of humanity is my haunted house and I pride myself at giving each and everyone of you the ride of your life.

On a more upbeat note, here is a poem for everyone:

We are sparkles in the light

Some shine from joy, others from fright

Shades of fear mingled with white

Lucifer shrieking in your ear

When are we getting out of here?

You wonder, is the end really near?

Fists flailing until the bell

Which sparkle is in heaven

And which is in hell?

We can laugh or cry

We choose which before we die

For we are all a twinkle of God’s eye

Human Bonding

The mother’s womb provides everyone with his or her first bonding experience. This initial template of being awash and physically merged in a nurturing environment can potentially meet all our needs—or not. Fortunately, or unfortunately, this is where each of our individual paths starts to differ. Some experience their mother’s womb as nirvana, an embryonic sea of love they long to return to during their lifetime. Others experience this oneness with their mother as painful agony, because they also merge with all her unresolved historical suffering and/or traumas. This can include the psychological and physical emotional states of the mother and, to a lesser degree, the father, during the pregnancy. These shared, empathic energetic templates can become embedded in the deep recesses of our developing body, mind, and spirit. These positive or negative embryonic experiences form the foundation of our general emotional makeup as we develop. These experiences play out in different ways, depending on the path that the individual soul planned out before its incarnation. Childhood further cements this positive or negative template, which helps or hinders our worldview of life. It is also important to know how and why we choose our parents and soul groups. This knowledge helps prevent the seductive tentacles of victim consciousness accompanying us on our earth walk. People have many theories about why we are born into a particular family, but the simple answer is: we choose our parents, and they choose us. There is a grand planning session where everyone in a potential family sits down and goes over everyone else’s needs and desires to compare how compatible they are with their own. Cooperation and care given to every detail are paramount in this gathering. Careful attention is given to group plans and agendas soul groups decide to explore collectively. Each soul maps out its goals and challenges, as well as the resources that will be needed to address obstacles along the way. Positive strengths and talents to be explored by each family member are planned as well. An energetic occurrence, often called “heart space,” happens when mothers birth their young in any species. It is a co-mingling of each other’s soul energy that allows direct communication with each other through their merged energetic beginnings. When humans experience this spiritual bond, an energetic field is biologically encoded in the cellular walls around the heart. Many have called this feminine intuition, but it is a spiritual union that never really gets broken unless either one of them falls deep into illusion and forgets their connection to the other. Everyone knows that some mothers don’t have a deep connection with their offspring. What generally occurs in these situations is a genetic break or trauma. Natural selection provides mothers and children the opportunity to vary the depth of their bond to further enhance each other’s soul journey. This may include a weakened or absent bond with one another, which provides interesting twists to one’s life. More illusionary challenges usually occur for these individuals to find their way back to a loving connection to themselves, others, and the Divine. Oftentimes the mother plays out a similar illusionary game as her child to find out how to find a loving connection to the same places just described. Fathers use another bonding path with their offspring. Males don’t have the biological benefit of the newborn growing inside them, with an organic opportunity for each other’s soul to ease into a shared energetic, spiritual resonance with one another. Fathers must make a conscious choice to bond with their child and connect to their newborn’s soul without the benefit of constant biological feedback and support. And they must consistently follow through in their bonding choice with their behavior. Conscious fathers who have done their own spiritual work intuitively connect to their newborn child with their own heart. Men who have had loving caregivers, families, and parents often rely on those experiences as a model to help them accomplish this. The newborn infant is always receptive to their father’s positive intention to bond, unless either of them has decided to explore their world with damaged or absent bonds as an energetic template to start their incarnation. The other challenge for the father is that he needs to allow the child’s soul to enter his heart, receive the child’s reflective love, and return his love back to his child. Fathers also need to create the space in their own heart to anchor this energetic connection. Many souls incarnate as men to attempt this more challenging way to bond and spiritually merge souls in a human form. Some women incarnate to experience deep interactive bonds with their children. There are mothers that get lost in their bond with their children and lose their own spiritual connection. So, there are benefits and challenges to overcome with both genders. Some may ask, why would source create these two bonding methods when one gender could try to cover all the possibilities? We do it because balance is the key. Men tend to remain more focused on their own life, needs, and direction, which is an important aspect of self-love and the creative imperative. Their ability to bond with self, others and spirit is more of a challenge without the organic boost the ability to birth children gives women however. Mothers, on the other hand, can explore deep connection with self, others and the soul of their offspring, but can lose their sense of self, their own creative impulses, and directed focus that healthy individualization provides. Both genders are honored on the other side of the veil for booth of these wonderful, creative paths. The balance or lack of it within these two paths creates tension, opportunities to grow, and models for the offspring. Substantial creativity can come from the perspective each gender can offer the other on this planet of dualism. As stated earlier, humanity is the only species that incarnates without a soul connection in place at birth. The following information about whale and dolphin bonding practices gives examples of how they parent consciously while maintaining their spiritual connection. Living examples of how they do it with their offspring are included.

Whale Bonding

The spiritual union between a mother whale and its calf differs from humans. Whales never lose their connection to the divine and feel oneness all the time. There is less emphasis on the connection between the mother/calf bond compared to people. Whale fathers spiritually assist their calf’s soul intention to be co-conscious with their physical body and source. They maintain this energetic connection, so their calf experiences its birth while bonding with its mother and the divine simultaneously. They do this out of loving service while the baby calf learns to inhabit its whale body and develop life survival skills. Males also take turns assisting the mother and calf as protective escorts when they migrate from birthing waters back to other habitats. This is one of the major mother/child bonding differences between humans and whales. Humans play a deeper game of exploration into illusion by skipping the built-in physical link to source during their incarnation. While the human soul is always linked to the divine, the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of our body are not linked to our soul at birth. Whales dedicate themselves to creating and maintaining this link, so the calf never loses its connection to source throughout its life.

Video by Nancy Ehrke

This unshakeable relationship to source provides the explanation as to how whales can hold their consciousness no matter what happens to their body. Dolphins do the same thing with a few variations. Male whales provide the genetics through their sperm but also hold the energetic intention in their heart to strengthen the calf’s divine connection. Father whales send a frequency to their offspring that contains heartfelt intentions designed to facilitate the calf’s ability to become co-conscious with their soul and source. They sing their songs for the whale community and Mother Earth. Their songs create a vortex that also holds the calf in a web of unconditional love between the hearts and souls of all the supporting whales, the mother, and the calf itself. Patience with love is more powerful than any force in the universe. The willingness to be who you are because you couldn’t be anything less, no matter what is happening—even extinction—is the path of the mystic. As you know, many spiritual masters have lived this kind of life on earth. It is not the death of the individual or species that matters the most. We know that we are one with source and easily go on to our next physical expression. But the death of the virtues held sacred by us—the love, gentleness, power, and fortitude mentioned above—would be the deepest tragedy. For then our reflection, purpose for being, and message would not have been heard or understood. This would sadden us the most. Please consider learning more about our message about reflective mirroring and pass it on to the generations of humans to come. We look forward to working with humanity as partners and ambassadors of the divine’s love to reflect these qualities to help awaken everyone’s spiritual nature. Divinity isn’t “out there”; it’s the quality of our soul. We are just reflections of divine love ourselves, spreading the joy of our expression for the short time we have on earth. Don’t waste time ignoring your soul’s longing to return to love, peace, and harmony. Be love, peace, and harmony within yourself and with others on earth. Live your dreams now, for there is no other way. Spread your love around while we cheer you on and celebrate with you. We breech for fun because the powerful display of strength inspires awe for ourselves and anyone witnessing our joy. When you sing, dance, and express your passionate, loving energies within, the world will sing, dance, and reflect them back to you in return. Peace, love and harmony, The Whales

Dolphin Bonding

Dolphins bond in similar ways to whales but are not so individualistic. Whales are solitary creatures for the most part, unless they are feeding cooperatively, raising their young, or breeding at their sacred locations. Dolphins travel and exist in pods for the most part. They explore group energy much more in depth and hold loving group intentions for themselves and divinity. Female dolphins consciously decide to become a mother and create an offspring. The female will seek out a male that holds the energy she determines is the best match for her intentions. The male does the same thing to a lesser degree, but frequently just enjoys mating whenever he can. The mother dolphin basically “calls the shots” when a calf is born. Females travel in pods and provide group energy and bonding for the mother and calf. They provide mirror reflections of each other and divinity to deepen their bonds and expand their hearts with love and joy. Pod connections help dolphins deepen their connection to oneness. The collective bonding the calf receives from the pod helps them deepen their joy and express it more freely than the whale community. Dolphins incarnate to be living examples of divine joy and attempt to always hold this frequency. The mirrored faces of friends and family are key to maintaining this joy; they remind them of their spiritual connection and help them maintain that expression throughout their lifetime. Male dolphins provide the sperm and genetics but also add another dimension. They travel in pods with other males, isolate themselves, and mingle with other pods. This cross-fertilization provides new interacting combinations and connections, a necessary function for themselves and their species as well. The male dolphin’s ability to explore different relationships and spend time in solitude provides the opportunity for the freshness required for the unique maintenance of joyful energy. Everyone gets into ruts and routine sets of behavior. This is true for families, countries, and all life in general on earth. Fresh ideas and unique combinations of new concepts come from interactions with others not cut of the same cloth. Father dolphins hold the intention in their heart that every new discovery is transmitted energetically and telepathically to their young calf as an inspirational template. Males do this for the whole species and all life in general as well. All dolphins do this, but the males have more time, since they don’t raise the young and spend as much time in pod dynamics. Females explore the power of nurturing group energy by living in same-sex pods throughout their lives. The process of giving comes from the heart and nurtures everyone around the dolphin. Dolphins have learned that a void is created when heart energy is given without proper replenishment. If a dolphin, or anyone for that matter, is not diligent with the amount of nurturing energy they send out from their heart, a deficiency can develop. Chronic expenditures of this nature can propel the physical body to seek reserves from its physical structure to fuel the heart’s demand to give to others. Female dolphins radiate loving energy for their friends to make sure their energetic voids are filled to the brim so that the group can nurture areas of the ocean with an umbrella of loving joy. Many women explore this same giving energy on earth, but do it individually, which can lead to a nurturing debt and the subsequent physical demands on one’s body. Giving always needs to be balanced with receiving. The group dynamics of constantly nurturing each other and loving everyone they meet as an expression of their joy is what female dolphins come to explore. Joy needs to be expressed and given from a position of strength, and this is their feminine contribution. These nurturing group dynamics produce baby dolphins whose hearts can transmit tremendous amounts of love. The female pod is totally dedicated to the physical and spiritual welfare of the baby calf. Each member of the pod treats the baby as a treasured, loved being worthy of love, honor, and respect. The exploration of the group dynamics of loved mirrored this way helps raise totally loved and self-confident dolphins that believe they are worthy of love and are ready to express it every day by giving love to everyone they meet.

My first dolphin swim

The first experience swimming with dolphins was at a ten-day Dolphin Camp in the Florida Keys in 1993 designed for inter-species communication. The following events changed my life forever, propelling me to become an energy healer and seek truth wherever it appeared. My first two swims with captive dolphins provided extraordinary joy for me in the water and splitting headaches when I got out of it. I initially guessed my problems came from being from Wisconsin and unaccustomed to the tropical sun. A gifted healer in our group told me that was not what was going on and offered to help me. After releasing my unresolved childhood issues with each parent around joy for the next two evenings, my health returned. Then two wild bottlenose dolphins off the shores of Key West, Florida introduced me into a whole new world on the third day. I learned that positive energy has frequencies that can cause headaches but also do much, much more. As soon as I got into the water, two dolphins swam a few feet away on either side of me in formation for what seemed like an eternity. When one of us flipped upside down, everyone copied one other. One dolphin would occasionally speed out in front, rush toward me head on, and veer away just a few feet from my head in a playful game of chicken. Time stood still as we played together in an amazing state of love, peace, and harmony. At some point one part of my brain wondered where our boat was located. The instant that thought crossed my mind, the dolphins stopped, spun around, and started swimming toward the boat with me in tow. My mistake became immediately clear to me. I begged and pleaded with them to stay with me, while I tried to demonstrate to them that my emotions were under control. As far as they were concerned, I was overcooked, needed to return to the boat to remember that I was merely human. I got out of the water half expecting my headache to return, but I felt a blissful peace as I had never experienced throughout my being for the next ten days. The previous two days of clearing my blocks to joy with the dolphins helped prepare me for this new sense of profound joy. Dolphin’s sonar produces frequencies that mirror the natural healing resonance of Mother Earth. It’s clear to me now that the dolphins’ higher frequencies jarred my system into a new state of being that was better than anything I had experienced before. Nothing in my psychotherapy training came close to working as effectively and powerfully as the energy healer with her dolphin assistants. Eight years later, in 2001, I received the following message during meditation on three consecutive evenings after swimming with wild spotted dolphins off the island of Bimini in the Bahamas, where the previous dolphin video was filmed. This meditation describes the dolphin’s purpose on earth and the energy they hold throughout their lifetime. The dolphins also explain what they’re trying to accomplish when they choose to interact with people.

Dolphin Meditation

Dolphins remain intimately connected to divinity throughout their lifetime, while many humans have forgotten their roots and/or believe in some critical deity that is no fun. We hear humanity’s prayers, rejoice in your accomplishments, and notice the strides you have made on your path toward enlightenment. The burning desire to seek enlightenment is a difficult emotion to experience on earth without the joy that comes from a loving relationship with your soul, unity consciousness, and all of divinity. We have something to teach humanity because we’ve learned that we can’t do it alone. Since we travel and live in pods primarily, we see our reflections of divinity in ourselves and in our pod mates. However, dolphins forget who we are, just like humans; then our buddies help remind us of who we really are. As a species, human beings explore dualism’s shadows more thoroughly than any creature on the planet. Your collective decision to incarnate in illusion’s darkness to rediscover your soul’s light on your own intrigues us. Even mollusks have a deeper connection to source than most people. Mankind is truly the master of illusion. The universe provides mirrors to give clues to assist humanity in your efforts to remember who you are. Unfortunately, the struggle for survival frequently locks in tight thinking patterns when dualism and intellectualization remain in charge. Attempts to dominate and control the physical world offer temporary security solutions that seduce the mind. Unfortunately, illusions such as these lack universal wisdom and bankrupt a soul’s ability to access permanent forms of mastery that lie within our true spiritual power. Dolphins incarnate to be joy, express Divinity’s joy, and hold the consciousness of joy on the planet. It’s our joy to do so—pun intended. Imagine souls lining up to be dolphins wanting to be Divinity’s expression of joy. It’s a rowdy line-up of souls, and we would have it no other way. Joy expressed is what we embody. Romping puppy dogs and kitty cats playing are living examples of this joy. Babies giggling to their heart’s content exemplify the energy we try to hold throughout our lifetime. Joy is infectious and needs to be shared. Dolphins need companionship and crave it, just like humanity does. We experience this loving connection within our pods and the dolphin collective. We enjoy interacting with humans; it is the highlight of our day to make people happy. We pride ourselves in finding ingenious ways to make people laugh. When you see our heads bobbing and looking around, this is a sign that we’re laughing as well. We laugh in our hearts when we are full of joy and risibility—and experience Divinity laughing with us. This makes our hearts feel complete. Dolphins like to mess with your minds to teach humans to let go of grasping for joy. Joy can’t be grasped; it is not “out there.” Nor is it something one can take from another. It is an elusive but important emotion that comes from within. When we open ourselves to the quality of our soul by being completely present in the moment, doing exactly what gives us the most joy, and being in touch with what really matters to us, joy spontaneously occurs. Our soul recognizes the beautiful expression of our passion and the deep knowing that there is nothing more important in the world than expressing the quality of joy more fully. Joy is the body’s way of saying . . . YES! Joy is the path to the Divine, others, oneself—and all there is. It lets us know we’re on the right path. Everything in life becomes easier, smoother, and in harmony when we live our life embracing our soul’s joyful nature. Letting joy have a home in our hearts makes us laugh, cry, and desire more happiness in our lives. Joy reminds us of the loving nature of our spiritual home and helps us release the grip of earth’s darker illusions. Remember the importance of joy and be the bearers of this dolphin message to all humanity. It is not just the dolphin’s message; it is the message of our own soul and our divine nature: joy, laughter, and peace. Human beings and dolphins are peaceful, loving, and harmonious expressions of the universal joy. We vibrate with playfulness and stupendous amounts of courage to incarnate, forget who we are, and spend our time rediscovering these qualities. Since we are all manifestations of divine love, our heart will expand exponentially when we’re enjoying ourselves. Fear diminishes everyone. It’s normal and tempting for everyone to forget his or her origins. Since everyone needs reminders of how worthy they are, we love to remind you. Conscious parents do the same for their children as they master earth’s illusions and discover their place in the world. Since dolphins have forgotten less than humans, it’s our joy to hold this awareness for the planet and transmit these transcendent truths to everyone. Everyone knows that life isn’t perfect for each soul, but dolphins always have time to play, make love, and remember the source from which we came from. We love to teach humans about possibilities during our brief encounters. We play with you when your heart wants to play. We love you continuously whether your heart is receptive to us or not. We offer love, peace, and harmony to you so that you won’t forget these joyful vibrations within yourselves. The most important reflection we provide is the possibility of living your life as one physical being united with your soul. There’s nothing more important to do while you are on earth than to give and receive love. Dolphins enjoy incarnating so that they can play on Mother Earth this way. When it becomes your pleasure to give and receive love joyfully from your heart, the whole world will love you in return. We live this truth and don’t buy into the illusions of dualism. (good/evil, light vs. dark) Live every day to its fullest, be the divine spark you are, and express your heartfelt passion. Surround yourself with love every day, particularly self-love since it mirrors the self-knowledge of your own loving nature and lovability. This loving vortex of energy will propel you to want to share it with others. Notice how much we enjoy each other in the water as well as everyone swimming with us. The dolphin’s message is as follows: Be love. Express love. Give love. The world will match your energy. And then give even more in return. A healthy life flows from simply following these laws of the universe. Follow our suggestions and you will never be depressed again. Most people don’t know what they’re capable of accomplishing without clues from the divinity’s helpful mirrors. More and more people are swimming with us and receiving our joyful message of love, peace, and harmony. It delights us no end to see humanity awaken, and your appreciation gives us hope for mankind. We’ve wondered for some time if human beings would ever become conscious. Humanity is not alone on this planet, and every creature on this planet, including plants, insects, and source conspire together. We serve as universal mirrors so that mankind will awaken to the truth of who you are. So how do we implement these ideas when you swim with us, you might ask? Your intellect is a treasure as well as a shackle. One needs to be connected to joy, love, spontaneity, and a deep regard for your divine nature before anyone starts to use their intellect wisely. It’s not about things—it’s about love. One of the tricks about worthiness is learning how to receive love without doing anything. Therefore, we reward those of you who get it when you swim with us by sticking around. We gently teach by withdrawing when you think you need to chase us and believe grabbing makes a difference. We have no possessions and yet you want what we have. What we have is love, partnership, and joy. With these treasures you possess all the riches in the world. Let us mirror Divinity to you so that you can be changed forever. Reflect these qualities to your loved ones back home. Develop communities of people that value love, peace, and harmony over possessions, illusions, and greed. We joyfully offer our love. We gladly offer ourselves. You enrich our lives every day we swim with you. This is how the world becomes one family playing with love throughout creation.

Intro – Harmony’s Song

Several years ago, my wife Nancy and I traveled to Maui, Hawaii rented sea kayaks and found a Humpback whale singing right below our boat one afternoon. The sound rattled our bones as we slipped into the water and recorded the song. We never saw the whale, but the full-body vibrations truly penetrated our heart and soul. The message I received the next day about our encounter follows below. As you read the message, allow the same vibrations we experienced embrace your heart and soul.

Harmony’s Song

Aloha from the Aloha state, we sent you a singing whale who is one of our ancient ones to sing you a love song yesterday for two reasons. Every one of you is suffering in one way or another so we wanted to give you a reminder about the power of gentleness. Secondarily, we want you to embody peace, love and harmony so we instilled these frequencies into your biology. You couldn’t see our ambassador because the song needed to be physically absorbed by an appreciative heart without the distractions of sight and photography diluting the moment. Everyone has their individual story but many suffer around the world. Humanity is in the initial stages of epic climate upheaval and a momentous shift of consciousness that some call ascension. We don’t see it that way however and consider these changes as our collective homecoming. Everyone on earth is just taking one step closer to realizing why they came here and examining their purpose on earth. Problems of significant proportions occupy your minds providing each of you hours of angst. We came into your lives with love in our hearts and changed the course of your day. We hope we gave you a memory that will last lifetimes because our singer planted codes and energetic frequencies in your biology designed to help you become more like us. Everyone knows we have been hunted, killed and mistreated by humans for centuries. Yet we love mankind, maintain contact and provide a living example of alternatives to hatred, conflict and strife. Humanity has created too much negativity and desires change. Believe us…change is coming. More upheaval will come and the following strategies that we employ are useful during challenging times.

Learn your Lessons: Every event presents a spiritual challenge to bring love, peace and harmony to a problem. Start by learning your lessons…consider what you could have done differently when problems arise. Look at the other person, group or country and focus on the positive intention they were trying to accomplish next, not upon the dysfunctional way they are coming across that makes you want to judge them. What we judge attracts more of what we do not like to us.

Love: When you witness another’s frailties send love, help them heal and envision them becoming more mature. Accept their humanness, release your pain, nurture your wounds and resist the urge to blame, judge or justify to others. Lick your wounds with love or with a song as John so beautifully demonstrates.

Peace: Love heals and peace is the product of sustained loving thoughts that refuse to fall into traps of polarity creating separation. We create peace by learning our lessons that our soul co-created with spirit to teach our biology a lesson about love, the lack of it or the detour that we just took to steer us off course. As creators every one of us is challenged to understand and truly accept this fact.

Harmony: Harmony is similarly achieved with a sustained loving presence and the resulting peace in turn creates not only an internalized harmony but now extends into your electromagnetic field affecting everyone in your vicinity. The song we sang to you was harmony and its associated frequencies. This song was not only for you however. Since we are all one and earth is going through so many changes, harmony and its frequencies is what is needed during times of change. When internal harmony is achieved it becomes a beacon calling others to dinner. It nurtures, soothes and creates bonds of friendship, teamwork and cooperation.

Peace, Love and Harmony.

These three eternal emotional states and their associated vibratory frequencies is what whales try to embody every day. We wish you would do the same and approach every problem this way. When you are troubled, remember these sentiments, ask for help but more importantly embody these traits within your body, mind and soul. You never know when a whale will come and sing you a song to remind you of this message. Remember our song and loving intention, which we hope will be translated into your intention to love and be love… so you can find out what you need to do to become more loving no matter what is going on around you. Mother earth, humanity and each of you are going through many changes. Please consider our suggestions and remember that we love you dearly. We pray for humanity and the planet but more importantly we know that we are the answer to our prayers. So we try to become more peaceful, loving and harmonious everyday and wait for the world to follow suit.

Peace, Love and Harmony

The Whales of Hawaii

Dream the Impossible Dream

A few years ago my wife and I went to Maui, Hawaii and rented kayaks to watch humpbacks with a group of like minded people.
We were gliding along about a half mile off shore when a mother, calf and escort popped up next to us. We slid in the water with our snorkels, ankle lines attached to our kayaks and video camera. The video attached to this message is from that close encounter.

When the baby humpback in the video came over to investigate us, she got so close to my wife that Nancy’s fin she actually touched the baby humpback. The mother, shown in the end of the video came over to escort her baby away from us. The mother made sure she wouldn’t hit me as she turned around to lead her baby to safety. The mother’s tail was ten feet in front of me, when she completed her course reversal and gently flicked her tail to move forward. As she watched me to make sure I wasn’t harmed, her little flick made me fly back about ten feet from the power of her tail. I received the following information about the encounter during my morning meditation the next day.

Yesterday, a humpback baby whale gave you a taste of the fourth dimension as time and space stood still as she, her mother and escort gave your group a very close encounter. Events of this magnitude occur during peak moments where every cell in your being focuses on one event and locks in the experience due to the perfectly aligned emotion, terror or pure passion present. Time stands still as you become transformed and nothing will ever take that memory away from you. Treasured events like these mature like fine wines and season with age into superior vintages. Memories like the baby touching your fin remind us why we came here on earth.

Yes, crystal whales exist and one of our treasured babies came to you because she recognized your light and pure positive intention. Your profound sense of joy attracted her powerfully. As exuberant children do… she opened her heart to you out of pure joy recognized your group as kindred spirits. Now everyone who watches this video of our encounter will be imprinted with her loving intention she infused within everyone in the group.

She wants to help everyone who watches this video to manifest his or her dreams. We are not talking about little dreams that are easy to accomplish. This crystal baby transmitted an energetic template that enables you to consider impossible dreams you fear…or think you aren’t special enough or competent enough to even consider.

This crystal baby gave your group an experience of that magnitude. Did you ever hope or plan for that event? You probably never even considered it could happen and if you told anyone you were going to Hawaii to specifically manifest a close encounter of an amazing kind (or a three thumbs up experience) you would have kept it to yourself or thought your dream was silly.

Magic happens and ecstatic dreams occur all the time so we came to you to provide this experience. We hope you were amazed and take these memories everywhere you go. Remember how our crystal baby girl swam into your dreams. Now watch her video and watch her carry your dream in her heart for she is now forever connected to you as you are with her, her mother and escort. Just ask all of us to carry your dreams to their logical or illogical conclusion to manifest your fondest fantasy. We will hold it in our heart to help your dream come true.

Humanity, the cetaceans and every being on mother earth are embarking on a new evolution. You are our land ambassadors that can help this change to occur quicker and with less difficulty on earth. Take our dream that we have nurtured since the beginning of our existence with humanity. Become our agents by helping us manifest our dream to create one world, one heart, on one planet together in love, unity and oneness in peace, love and harmony with the divine and all of divinity.

We are one with you always and we hope you will help us to spread the word, the love in your heart and unity around the world. Connect to us anytime and access our encounter when you are sad or hit an obstacle that seems too great. Remember that spirit is everywhere and anything can happen at anytime, anywhere and the circumstances are out of my control if I access my friends, my spiritual family and of course my whale buddies. The world can open up like an oyster like when I witnessed a miracle crystal baby humpback whale and her family swim into my soul in Maui, Hawaii if I’m totally present and with a passionate heart.

Love, Peace and Harmony,

The Hawaii Whales and Crystal Baby

Whale Sharks, The Place Keepers

This message came after swimming with the whale sharks in the Gulf of Mexico. They are extremely gentle and did not seem to mind our attempts to swim along side of them. I was disappointed when I first swam with them because I couldn’t make sustained heart opening and eye contact with them like the dolphins and the whales. Little did I know.

We are the Whale Sharks. We have come because you asked to speak to us and we are happy to do so. Please humor us because not many people have come to speak to us and hear our story. Our story is simple and yet profound. We are the place keepers. We provide the opportunity to those who wait. We are extremely patient beings that know no enemies. We have size and speed when we want it but we choose to linger in our movements because we are deep in our meditative trance of being. We dream in the stars, play with planets and eat to our heart’s content. We are the place keepers because we help mother earth and every sentient being hold space to create their dreams. We hold the intention to allow events to unfold and let things happen just as people, beings and planets have dreamt them. There is a pregnant moment where intention meets dream. Sometimes the energy it takes to create matter or action on earth is difficult or takes time. Our mission and intention is to help speed the process up, although it would be hard to image it looking at our slow pace. Whale sharks help the universe manifest your dreams into matter. We hold space and create the energetics to help you manifest dreams. We also create the space, the time and the opportunity to help you experience the fruits of your intentions. Holding space is our joy. This is why you could not connect to us the way you have with other beings. We are always partly in the dreamtime holding the intention of love and happiness. Whale sharks hold the thread and access the Divine while connecting to your heart’s desire. Even the desire you are too afraid to speak. We sense these dreams as well and hold the space for you to manifest your heart’s love that you are too afraid to express. We hold our awareness and create a file of possibility to use computer terms for your dreams. We wait and watch you grow until your courage, events and opportunity propel you to move into your desire, love or place of dreamed contentment. So when you are dreaming of a project, afraid to move forward in life, or paralyzed in fear or worry come to us with your dreams. Let us swim into your life mouth agape, dedicated and assured of the bounty of life to remind you to swallow and enjoy life to your heart’s content just as we do in the ocean. Our size lets you know that the world is bountiful and dreams become reality if you create the space for it. Come to us with your dreams and enjoy our dreamy eyes that see your heart’s love through the veil. We will hold your deepest desires close to our heart until you develop the courage to manifest them into your life. Please hear our message. We are cousins of the whales, dolphins and mantas that many people love. Work with all of us to make your dreams come true. We move towards our dreams when you swim with us. This lets you know that you need to move towards your desire with love in your heart and dedicated intention. The world will nurture you and all you need to do is open your mouth, open your heart and walk into the bounty of the universe. We will meet you there with our bellies full and congratulate you when you get there.

Manta Rays, Angels of the Sea

Manta Rays love to play, procreate and co-create. Like the whales, they hold love, peace and harmony in their hearts for all of creation, while providing a unique service to Mother Earth. Like soaring eagles and magnificent birds of prey they glide and fly over the ocean floor like angels. Their special niche is balancing the energetic Ley Lines for Mother Earth. Similar to arteries and veins circulating blood from a human heart, Ley Lines circulate subtle electrical currents. Ley Lines are the earth’s electrical wiring or energetic grid system. When energetic arteries intersect, powerful energetic vortexes are created similar to a human chakra. Ancient civilizations could sense vortexes and built sacred temples and ancient sites on them, including the Egyptian Pyramids, Machu Picchu, Stonehenge and Angkor Wat. The Chinese call Ley Lines Dragon Lines, South American Shamans refer to them as Spirit Lines and Australian Aboriginals use the term Dream Lines. Manta Rays can be likened to cleaner fish, which groom bigger fish in exchange for nurturance and protection. In this case, the bigger fish happens to be Mother Earth who protects us, nurtures all life and needs grooming herself on the energetic and spiritual level. Manta Rays fly in the ocean, as an expression of love and joy. Ley Line balancing is an act of service to tidy up the environment. Easing Mother Earth’s growing pains and how she brings all of creation along for the ride as our climate changes happens to be their passion. In order to manifest anything important on earth the words wait, watch and wonder have much meaning. Waiting requires patience. Patience is needed for what we ask for and want from the universe. Similar to every bird and animal manta rays do not worry about their next meal because every species except humanity lives in the moment. Regretting the past and worrying about the future is solely a human endeavor. Like every bird, animal or angel of the sea, try setting your intention for whatever you want, know it will come and Mother Earth will provide. Then look for whatever you want with patience and wait with joy, love and expectation in your heart. Then watch for any sign or signal of your dream manifesting. Accept and recognize that humanity is not alone. Mother Earth provides everything we need to thrive. Gaze at the sun, fill you heart with wonder and remember how beautiful our world is. Watch for reflections of your love, appreciation and joy. This is why manta rays serve Mother Earth with so much love and joy when we do our Ley Line work. We swim with humans with love in our heart because our co-created joy anchors more love and balances the Mother Earth’s energetic grid more effectively. Love balances all disturbances, including Ley Lines. When we sense energetic leaks or strong distress signals, we ride the ocean currents above it with love in our heart. Love begets love. Love and joy create balance on Mother Earth, with us and our surroundings like the angels of the land have always done. Wonder is an important way to manifest love and be a pure expression of divine energy. Wonder is playfulness and provides a service. Acting form pure joy and doing an activity with spontaneous loving expression of pure joy in your heart is what created this world. Our most joyful moments create new worlds, heal the planet and change the course of history. Sit back in wonder and practice expressing pure love. Be in awe of the strength of pure positive intention. It is the engine that beats hearts, moves our muscles and sets the world on fire with passion. It is the force that moves mountains. Let the joy of our time together move your mountains that need to be redecorated within you. Let pure joy and creativity infect your passion, fuel your dreams and move your spirit to its next beautiful expression. Wonder and be in awe of the magnificent creations that come from your heart and soul. Know that mother earth is the place that allows you to do this. Share your appreciation with her. Thank everyone including yourself for the wonderful results.

Dolphins On Joy

If dolphins could talk about joy, here is what I suspect they would say. We feel your joy when you swim with us and rejoice to be part of your journey. Dolphins are also on a journey but ours is different than humans. We know we are connected to divinity while many humans have forgotten or believe in some critical deity that is no fun. We hear your prayers, rejoice in your accomplishments and notice the strides you have made on your path to enlightenment. Joy is near and dear to our hearts. Dolphins incarnate to embody joy, express divine joy and hold the consciousness of joy for the planet. It is our joy to do so…pun intended. Imagine souls lining up to be dolphins desperately wanting to be divine expressions of joy…it’s a rowdy bunch of souls we’ll tell you and we would have it no other way. Fun-loving puppy dogs, playful kittens and/or babies giggling to their heart’s content exemplify the energy we try to hold throughout our lifetime. We have something to teach humanity because we have learned that we can’t do it alone. We travel and live in pods for the most part. So we can see our reflections of the divine and ourselves’ in our pod mates. We forget our purpose just like humans do and our buddies remind us who we really are. Joy is infectious and multiplies when shared. We need companionship and crave heart connection. It is the highlight of our day to make humans happy. We pride ourselves in finding ingenious ways to make you laugh. When you see our heads bobbing and looking around, let this be sign to you that we are laughing as well. Dolphins laugh in their hearts and don’t laugh as you do. When we are full of joy, risibility and experience divinity laughing with us, our hearts feel complete. We like to mess with your minds to help humans let go of grasping for joy. Joy can’t be grasped. Joy comes within. It is not out there. Joy is not something you can take from others. We are not the only holders of laughter and joy. It is a quality of the soul and you don’t need to get closer to dolphins like us to feel it; we radiate it like heat. Joy occurs when we open ourselves to the quality of our soul by being completely present in the moment, doing exactly what gives us the most joy, being in touch with what really matters to us and the joy explodes within by expressing everything in the moment. Our soul recognizes the release of pent up energy, the beautiful expression of our passion and the deep knowing that there is nothing more important in the world than expressing these qualities fuller. Joy is the body’s way of saying…YES! Joy is the path to not only divinity but also oneself. This is the path to heart connection to others, self and all there is. Joy lets you know you are on the right path. We come to you in joy and it is our joy to be with you. We know that joy is illusive but would like to teach you that it is one of the most important emotions to embody. Everything in life will be easier, smoother and harmoniously when you live your life expressing your soul’s joyful nature. Let joy burst from your heart, make you laugh, cry and desire more. Remember these qualities of joy and pass this dolphin message along to all of humanity. Well, its not the dolphin message exactly. The essence of our soul is pure joy and our divine nature is the joy, laughter and peace within a giggling innocent baby’s sparkling eyes.

The Boto Dolphins of the Amazon River

A few years ago, my wife Nancy, Joanne Fields, my daughter Allison Ehrke and I traveled to Brazil to swim and interact with the Boto dolphins in the Amazon River. Nancy took all the pictures in this article except the jaguar and featured photo of me caressing the heart of a Boto. My sister-in-law, Joanne Fields took that shot. Disappointed initially, because I could not look into a Boto’s eyes and communicate visually as I was accustomed to do with ocean dwelling dolphins and whales, I was about to learn a lesson. Always a teacher…this dolphin choose instead to touch my heart. Since I’ve known a long time ago not to make snap judgements, I was delighted to receive the following message in meditation the next day.

The Amazon is ten miles across in some locations.

Boto, the Amazon River Dolphins

We welcome you into our bosom, our abode and wonderful country during an auspicious time in world events. Living in a dark world, we rarely see our prey or even a friend with any clarity. We, the Boto live in a world of shadow and rely upon our instincts each day. We occasionally meet up with friends but our existence is solitary in nature. Security depends upon trusting our senses and connecting to the All That Is. Trust is our reliable ally and unfortunately this wonderful quality is becoming a rarer and rarer commodity throughout the world each day.

Humanity is programmed to overcome adversity and desires control. We have found the secret to enduring power, requires trust and developing a healthy relationship with light…but also darkness. People tend to ignore their shadows and succumb to fear, which leads to fear-based societies. Afraid of the dark and their psychological shadows, people are struggling more and more around the world. Our prayers are with everyone as you attempt to resolve the frequent unrest around the globe.

We, the Boto river dolphins, offer a loving reminder about the necessary dance between light and darkness. Humanity often fails to examine their personal areas of responsibility or explore one’s unpleasant darker motivations. Many people believe they create their reality but not everyone understands how this important spiritual concept applies to their daily activities. Take for instance the polarized political phenomenon in the United States, which feeds on private fears, fans the collective’s anger, and projects unexamined shadow onto marginalized minorities and adversaries. Unfortunately, these we-versus-them strategies only expands an ever-growing list of bad guys. Blaming others without taking any personal responsibility is a primitive but ancient quality, that has never really worked for humanity. The core principles of good leadership include earning a collective’s trust by taking care of one’s people, treating others in the world similarly and respecting all life forms as they would instinctively do with anyone in their core, soul family. We encourage humanity to consider our suggestions about personal integrity and eventually treat every living being with dignity.

We, the Boto river dolphins, have chosen a life, which on the surface does not appear to be community focused. We communicate with one another and feel other’s presence yet spend most of our life as solitary creature living in what most people would call darkness in the coffee-colored Amazon River. However, our true purpose includes supporting all life. We enjoy our peers but never loose sight of our personal agenda to love everyone and everything in the universe. Our beak and teeth are agile and adapted to our environment to secure food due to limited visibility. We use our advanced sense called sonar and would suggest humans do the same with your vast intuitive sensing mechanisms.

We came to the Amazon and hold a different energy than our dolphin cousins in the sea. We anchor our spiritual energy into the land and offer guidance by holding the sanctity of the River, the people and all the wild life in every form. We pray every day for abundance and the sanctity of all life. This is our mission, our passion and purpose of existence. Our cousins, the whales mirror oneness, providing reflective loving mirrors in the ocean, while we mirror similar love from the jungle and for all terrestrial life. We share this mission with our elephant brothers and sisters in other places around the world.

Spiritual anchors like elephants and jaguars hold vortexes of energy, which act like antennae or satellite dishes that ground divine love into the planet in crucial places around the world. Like Ganesh in the Indian tradition, the jaguar holds the qualities of earthly power, strength, will and fortitude to overcome obstacles. Completing a worthy project sometimes requires a jaguar’s ferociousness to lend strength to any endeavor. We, the Boto river dolphins serve this function in the Amazon and for both American continents. We want to teach humans how to live in shadows, while remaining connected to source and Oneness. Honor and respect all life and cast a large net. Trust your instincts to do what is right and do not rely upon only eyesight for guidance. Spiritual understanding requires exploring shadow to improve the world and create personal balance.

There are many stories in Amazon folklore about river dolphins turning into humans. The indigenous tribes acknowledged our ability to transcend our existence. Holding a higher purpose for existence, we offer this possibility to humanity so you can learn from us. Native lore speaks about Botos abducting and taking humans to a special place of transformation. They are accurate in a sense because we never loose our connection to the divine, our spiritual purpose and our intention to bring humans along with us so everyone can experience their divine origins. Please join us on our journey to create more love and trust on this beautiful planet.
