That summer was the summer of the Harmonic Convergence. It had something to do with the Mayan Calender and a bunch of planets being all lined up. It was supposed to be a special cosmic time for us spiritual seeking types.
Kindheart knew of a healing gathering that was going on down in Southern Oregon to celebrate it, and we decided to go.
I forgot to tell you about healing gatherings. They were the best. They were gatherings we would have out in the woods and the focus was healing. Everybody camped out for the weekend, and the main thing was workshops. There was a big board with workshop times and locations. Anybody could teach a workshop. You just put it on the board for whatever time and place you wanted. It was great. People taught all kinds of things. Besides that we had big Oming circles and Sufi Dancing. Sufi dancing is also called Universal Dances of Peace. It is what it sounds like. You have a teacher, and she teaches you dances from all traditions that are about love and peace. They are usually interactive and wonderful. We also would have a massage area, for people to work on each other, a tea kitchen to go and drink tea and visit, and a big regular kitchen, where all the meals were cooked. we all ate together from the meals prepared in the main kitchen. There was also a sauna and a Native American Sweat Lodge. For me, Healing Gatherings were heaven. They don't have them up north anymore.
Back to the story. So now we were going to go to a special healing gathering for the harmonic convergence. Kind of like double heaven.
So we packed up my trusty van with the three of us, Kindheart's two little kids, and Alyssa's hyper dog and we were on our way. We went to the gathering and that was that. It was nice, but nothing spectacular. Then I guess the thing to do was go to Mount Shasta, which is considered a power spot of the world, to continue on with the speciall energy of the time. So on we went!
When we got to Mount Shasta things did seem more intense. We went up the mountain and spent the night. I was feeling kind of tripped out from the gathering and decided I should go on a fast. So I spent the day wandering around the meadows by myself fasting. Since I was in a kind of natural higher state, I decided to meditate. I sat there and started seeing a woodsy place and a bridge going over a creek. Then I somehow got interrupted. later that day, I tried again. I sat there and saw the same woodsy place, the little bridge and the creek. But this time I saw a man walking over carrying a little child. That was it. It ended there. I kind of felt God had given me a vision, but I didn't know what it meant.
The other interesting thing that happened that day was with Alyssa. Now, you had to know her, but she was interesting any day. She was very sweet and fun, and was convinced that she channeled this entity named Philon, all the time. When she channeled him, she would speak another language out loud to you. Now both Kindheart and I were both pretty level headed, and sometimes we would wonder how she was our best friend, but she was. Not only that, she had been convinced that during the Harmonic Convergence, Philon was going to manifest in physical form and take her away with him. It was a disappointment to her when this didn't happen.
What did happen that day wasn't quite so dramatic, but interesting none the less. That morning Alyssa tells me that she saw rays of light coming out of her finger tips. Nothing that unusual for her. Then we go down the mountain to Mount Shasta Town. I was with her the entire time we were in Mount Shasta, and we hadn't been in the town yet, only on the mountain. We go into this Angel Painting store. The paintings are basically visions people have had of angels and celestial beings. Alyssa and I are looking at the cards of the paintings. I couldn't believe my eyes. There is a painting of a woman who looks exactly like Alyssa. Alyssa was kind of exotic and different looking. And out of the woman in the paintings fingertips are coming rays of light! Maybe it was one of those you had to be there experiences, but I was blown away. Of course I made her get the card. Then we headed home.
