This Week In The Dream Antilles, Hurricane Edition

An Offering to Chac And Kukulkan

Chaac

Chaac is the ancient Maya god of rain and lightning. He is usually depicted with a serpentine axe (lightning) in his hand. His body is scaled and reptilian. He is worshipped at sacred wells and cenotes. He is in charge of life-giving rain needed for agriculture. At the dawn of time Chaac split apart a sacred stone with his axe, from which sprung the first ear of maize. When he is not in the clouds, he is near falling waters.

Kukulkan at Chichen Itza

Kukulkan is the ancient Mayan feathered serpent and represents both the Earth's wish to ascend to the sky and sky's descending to Earth. Through Kukulkan chaos becomes order. Kukulkan represents the merging of opposites and the end to dualism.

As I post this, the map of Hurricane Irene seems to have announced the storm’s arrival on the East Coast of the US, between North Carolina and Massachusetts some time this weekend. This is what the computer models are saying:

And so right now an offering (I recommend burning copal and/or sage and/or palo santo and/or a candle or a fire), a petition, a propitiatory prayer seems especially in order, an offering to Chaac, who controls the rain, and Kukulkan, who creates order from chaos, for the safety of all people in the Eastern United States:

May Chac and Kukulkan exercise restraint. May all be safe. May all find shelter. May destruction be averted. May peace prevail. May the rains be moderate. May the wind be temperate. May divine tranquility be preserved. Let it be so!

Ceremony For Japan/Ceremonia Para Japon

May this help. Please spread far and wide. Spanish first, English second. Espanol primero, Ingles secundo.

A todas las personas del mundo:

¡Por favor manden sus oraciones de Amor y Gratitud al agua de la Planta Nuclear de Fukushima, Japón!

Después de sufrir el gran terremoto de la magnitud 9 y por efectos devastadores del Tsunami, más de 10,000 personas aún están desaparecidas hasta ahora… aunque ya pasaron 16 días desde el día del desastre. Lo que hace peor en este momento es que el agua de los reactores de la Planta Nuclear de Fukushima empezaron a la fuga contaminando el océano, la atrmósfera y las moléculas de agua que se encuentran en zonas aledañas.

La sabiduría humana no ha sido capaz de resolver el problema, y está tratando solamente enfriar materiales radiactivos que existen dentro de los reactores echando agua fría con mangueras.

¿Realmente no hay otra cosa que podemos hacer?

Yo digo que sí. Durante más de 20 años de investigación sobre las tecnologías de medir Hado y de fotografiar los cristales de agua, he sido incontables veces el testigo de que el agua se transforma en positivo cuando recibe la vibración pura de oraciones de seres humanos no importa cuán lejos estén esas personas.

El verdadero significado de la fórmula de Energía de Albert Einstein, E=MC2 es: Energía = el número de personas multiplicada por cuadrado de sus consciencias.

Llegó el momento de practicarlo. Vamos a unirnos nuestra consciencia para llevar a cabo una ceremonia de oración para el agua como ciudadano de la Tierra. Les pido a todos ustedes, no solamente en Japón, sino en alrededor del mundo, que por favor nos ayuden para encontrar la forma de superar esta crisis de nuestro planeta Tierra.

Nombre de la ceremonia:
“Vamos a enviar nuestros pensamientos de Amor y Gratitud a todo el agua que existe en la Plantas Nuclear de Fukushima”.

Fecha y hora:
Juevez, 31 de Marzo de 2011, a las 12:00 del día en la hora local.

Vamos a pronunciar la siguiente frase:
“El agua de la Planta Nuclear Fukushima, lo sentimos mucho por haberte causado este sufrimiento. Por favor perdónanos. Te damos gracias, y te amamos.”


Pueden decir a voz alta o en silencio. Repiten 3 veces juntando las palmas de sus manos ofreciendo su sincera oración.

Les agradezco de mi corazón.
Con amor y gratitud
Masaru Emoto
Mensajero de Agua

To All People Around the World
Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at the nuclear plants in Fukushima, Japan!

By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still missing…even now… It has been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it’s contaminating the ocean, air and water molecule of surrounding areas.

Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water to them.

Is there really nothing else to do?

I think there is. During over twenty year research of hado measuring and water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing that water can turn positive when it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how far away it is.

Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that Energy = number of people and the square of people’s consciousness.

Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth. I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan, but all around the world to please help us to find a way out the crisis of this planet!!
The prayer procedure is as follows.


Name of ceremony:
“Let’s send our thoughts of love and gratitude to all water in the nuclear plants in Fukushima”

Day and Time:
March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant,
we are sorry to make you suffer.
Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”

Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position. Please offer your sincere prayer.

Thank you very much from my heart.

With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto
Messenger of Water

Monday Evening: A Time For Cleansing And Smudging

Monday evening, January 19, 2009, is the last night of the Bush Administration. This could be a time to exhale and to celebrate having survived eight long, lawless, disgraceful years, a period that will go down in history as the US's worst administration. But the big party won't begin until after the Inauguration. We will want to celebrate a hopeful New Beginning rather than the final moments of Bush. So it makes sense, then, that Monday evening should be used to prepare for the New Beginning.

This brief essay is about a traditional way to prepare through cleansing and smudging.

Many North American indigenous traditions purify and set the stage for ceremonies by smudging. Smudging is the simple practice of burning particular plants and of allowing the smoke to purify and clear. You can purify and clear people, places, buildings, and in my view, entire nations and planets. This is mostly a matter of your intentions and having the right kind of smoke.

For example, you might remember when Guatemalan Mayans burned incense to cleanse sacred space after Bush visited a pyramid in their country. And many of you might have personally experienced how the Original Americans burn sage, cedar, and/or sweet grass to cleanse participants before and during ceremonies. These same sacred plants are also used to prepare the Sweat Lodge. Mayans have for many years burned copal so that its smoke might carry prayers to heaven. And the Q'ero, descendants of the Inca, burn palo santo both to cleanse and sanctify. These kinds of smoke have special qualities, and they have been used for centuries especially to purify and cleanse.

Some people have said that the White House should be smudged with sage. This is a good idea. But it's too limited. After the past eight years, the entire nation deserves to be cleared, cleansed, purified, and sanctified before the new administration begins. Monday night would be a perfect time to do just that.

How do you do it? First you need to make special, sacred smoke. You can light a smudge stick (white sage, sweet grass, cedar and/or lavender) and then, after it catches, blow it out. You don't want a fire, you want the smoke. Or you can light in a sand filled container or seashell (do not use glass) sage, sweet grass, cedar and/or lavender, and after it flames a bit, blow out the flames, making a nice, dense plume of smoke. Or you can light a charcoal disc (be sure this is in something that is well insulated so you don't burn yourself) and then drop copal or sage or cedar on top of the burning coal, making a beautiful, thick, continuous cloud of smoke. Or you can light a piece of palo santo (it's a stick), let it get hot and red, and then blow out its flame to make an aromatic, sweet smelling smoke. Be sure to be safe with this. You want to purify with smoke, you don't want to burn yourself or destroy your home or start a forest fire.

Then, lift the smoking object high over your head, and let the smoke spread. If you're in the house, be sure to open the doors and to walk the smoke throughout the house. If you're outside, hold the smoke up and let the wind carry the smoke. If you want to purify yourself, cup the smoke with your hands and bring it over and around you.

Once you've got the smoke, focus on your intention for the smoke to cleanse and clear and purify and offer your thoughts or prayers. These thoughts, your intentions, are also an essential part of smudging. You don't have to say them aloud. Thinking them is often enough.

What I plan to say goes something like this (it always changes on the spot):

Father sky, Star brothers and sisters, Pachamama, sweet mother earth, thank you for this day and for this wonderful smoke and for cleansing and purifying me, my home, this land, and this country, thank you for teaching us to walk in beauty and in harmony on the earth and in peace with other people and nations, show us the beauty way, and help us as a nation to be compassionate, understanding, courageous, and just. Let it be.

Please join me on Monday evening. Our nation deserves nothing less.
