Transmutation News April 2021 Download printable version
I remember when I was about seven years old, growing up in Brooklyn, I was quite disturbed by the level of inequality I witnessed. I could not understand why some people could have more than others. I could not understand why some people had food and some people didn’t. Why did one job pay so much more than another job when everybody had to put in the same hours?
So obviously I struggle with the issues that come up during our lives as we watch a world that is so overpopulated. There just is no equality. There are people who can get services, there are people who can’t, there are people who can get shelter and food and some are starving and trying to find shelter. This includes all our precious nature beings.
There’s so much division going on right now, and I think everything has become so exponentially out of balance that those “in authority” take more measures to control our actions and behavior. At the same time, we want our own sovereignty and free will.
One of my brother’s friends was a real intellect, and we had these really deep philosophical conversations when I was seven, and he was probably 10 or 11. We were trying to solve all the problems in the world and discussing the issues of why didn’t everyone have equal resources.
I am bringing this up due to all the issues around people having so much that they don’t even know what to do with their wealth and resources and some people who are literally just trying to find a meal and a little bit of shelter. We are all compassionate people. I imagine you think about our social issues in a variety of ways.
This is not a new issue on Earth. It feels like the division on the planet right now is growing to amazing levels. We can actually watch and feel different dimensions of reality forming as divisions over climate, health, politics, race, spirituality, vaccines, and the list goes on and keeps growing.
I am not writing about this in this column to offer a true solution to heal the inequality issues that we’re facing. The example we can turn to right away is the vaccine and the vaccine is now splitting populations into multiple classifications. So the division keeps growing.
So what are the responses to this need of humans and all nature beings to have basic rights for freedom and resources. With so many people we are just not getting the help everyone needs. This issue does cause me to lose sleep to see children and parents struggling to find a way to just get through one more day. I have been there. I have not experienced the traumas that people around the world have to face. But not having food and not knowing where my next shelter is going to be is some thing I faced a lot. I do know how this wears you down emotionally.
And all the division on so many levels is wearing us all down emotionally to where we are reevaluating our beliefs, morals, philosophy, and our spiritual practices.
On a physical level we can take action by donating to help others in need. We need to be the voice for the children of all living species who can’t talk about their need for food, for shelter, their needs for kindness, honor, and respect.
We can do acts of kindness for others. On a spiritual level we can show honor and respect to everyone who needs some acknowledgement.
People constantly tell me this is not enough. But I have first-hand experience with this. When I had to panhandle to get money for food there was a big difference of how I felt if someone spit on me or if someone showed me kindness – even a smile or an inspiring and hopeful word.
Our attitude and spiritual behavior counts. It does make a difference.
People can’t keep saying kindness and love is not enough. It is food for the soul! And that love can keep someone’s light burning for quite awhile especially when it feels quite dim.
In Walking in Light I shared a beautiful ceremony I love to do in workshops at retreat centers. But it is powerful to perform online too. I call this ceremony the Inner Chamber of Light.
In this journey you are met by loving faceless beings who bring you to an Inner Chamber of Light within the Earth. There are millions of people there repairing threads of the web of life. But they do this anonymously. No one can see anyone’s faces. It is a beautiful journey that shows it is not what you accumulated, how famous you are, or what you look like that makes a difference. The only important factor is how much love and light you are emanating throughout the web of life. And the key is not needing recognition- just doing what is right action.
For this month’s recorded ceremony, I am leading a different version of this ceremony. It is beautiful. It is a journey to observe all the people walking around the world uplifting everyone whether suffering or in joy just by being a presence of light and love.
I invite you to journey when you would like to experience this field of energy we can create from anywhere that feeds every living being on this great Earth.

Many years ago I introduced Quincy Davis to our community. He reached out to me as a rising Hip Hop musician to talk about creating peace through his songs and music. Many of you helped me to support this young budding artist who brought love, light, and prayers for peace and nature into his music.
Quincy is no longer a kid and has been producing amazing albums and doing some powerful networking. We even plan on creating an App together! Watch for this news!
Please help to support this project.
Voices of the Ancient & Modern Mythology is a project bridging the teachings of wisdom keepers with the younger generation. Growing up in the age of information where wisdom is hardest to find, we are meeting the youth where they are by offering music videos with empowering messages in the form of cutting-edge, modern music and dynamic visual storytelling. This is a way of introducing ideas to youth (typically high school and middle school students) in an engaging way, to be bridged with documentary segments of elder teachings, leading into talking circles and workshops for creative expression. For more info on the project please visit: http://www.voicesoftheancient.org/
We are currently raising funds to begin this project and have a pending grant award that will match all contributions. Donations can be received through to our partner non-profit, Northwest Alliance for Alternative Media and Education (NAAME) for tax write-off purposes: PO Box 42671, Portland, Oregon 97242
Donations can also be made online. For more information please visit: https://www.7vision.link/donations

A thrilling journey is beginning and you’re invited! On April 1, 2021, Bernadette King, the creator, author, and channel of the international best-selling, award winning, and history making “Ark Animal Tarot & Oracle Deck” launches the Kickstarter campaign for her new book, “Spirit, Totem, and Power Animals - The complete book of Animal Spirit Guides”.
Bernadette and I have become allies, and I am so thrilled to share her work!
In 2019, Bernadette’s Kickstarter campaign for her Ark Animal Deck raised almost $50,000 and sold out thousands of copies in less than a year. She is manifesting an even greater success for the new book.
Bernadette is well known for her animal advocacy and noted for always saying, “Do good for animals”. Her own animal spirit guides asked her to hold the Kickstarter campaign during April because it’s “Prevention of Cruelty to Animals” month.
By running her Kickstarter during April Bernadette is focused on inspiring folks to do more for the animal kingdom and hopes she’s leading by example by pledging $5,000.00 of the book’s profits in 2021 to animal charities who work to prevent animal cruelty.
“Spirit, Totem, & Power Animals - The complete book of Animal Spirit Guides” is a groundbreaking work. It’s a 9x11, full-color compendium with 700 pages making it the most comprehensive book on this subject in the world.
