As most of you know, I have been to Yelapa, Mexico many times and had never before even had a thought of getting stung by a scorpion, even though many of them live in the area. As I was packing for this trip, I had a premonition that I would be stung this trip. Upon arriving, I found myself being paranoid about it and went on major scorpion alert. I knew this constant thinking about it would bring it on, but I was not able to stop my mind. So, I was actually somewhat relieved when at about three in the afternoon on the second day, while helping Anna go through clothes of a mutual friend who had recently died, it happened. Just as I put my finger on the fold of the next garment to pick up, OUCH! I quickly pulled my hand away and looked around for what got me, thinking that it might have been a bee. But as the pain increased in my hand and it started moving up my arm, I calmly said to myself, “well, here it is, it happened”.
I was somewhat surprised by my matter-of-fact attitude as I returned to the main house and described what had happened to Anna who confirmed that it was indeed a scorpion sting. She knew to give me a double dose of antihistamine and a double dose of vitamin C and said the best thing to do is just lay quiet. She said she would check on me and if it looked like I was having a severe reaction, she would give me an anti-venom shot. I went up to my room and just knew that I would get through it just fine so I relaxed. From stories I had heard, I knew the main threat would be the possibility of the throat closing down and restricting breath, so I focused on my breath and started into a meditation. I was very grateful for the techniques I had learned for removing myself from pain as I was able to put the pain of what felt like a hot poker on my hand aside. The curious scientist in me observed as numbness spread like a Novocain shot throughout my body creating the “pins and needles” sensations of limbs that are awakening from being “asleep”. The only moments of slight fear came when I felt the numbness spread into my nose and throat. Then my beloved guide, Earthwind, came to me and said “I am EarthWIND, I will keep the wind moving within you.” Feeling his presence with me allowed me to release the fear and totally open to whatever this experience would bring and my throat remained open in spite of the numbness.
Keeping the pain away required diligence so I did not go to sleep. Instead, I gazed out my window at the lovely bright pink bougainvilleas blowing in the wind with the ocean in the distance. Earthwind swept me up and told me that he wanted to show me something and I could feel my self moving further and further away from my body until I was beyond it and we were only light energy in a realm of light energy. Our travels took us to a place where we were surrounded by clear bubbles with intricate scenes of people and places within them. We progressed until we were at the source of where the bubbles were emerging, which looked something like a powerful, huge waterfall that bubbles bounced up from when the water hit the bottom. As I stood in amazement, Earthwind explained that each bubble is a universe within itself and the collection of bubbles represents the concept of parallel universes that all co-exist simultaneously. Being in this expanded state beyond my mind and body, allowed me to grasp the mechanisms at work. The process was as dynamic as watching bubbles in a bubble bath – some would collide and become one bigger bubble, some would divide into several individual bubbles and some would just pop and the material would fall back into the river.
This perspective of our realities brought to mind the notion from the Bible that to God, our whole lifetime is but a blinking of an eye. With so many lifetimes coming and going, I felt like I could be less attached to this one.
Earthwind went on to say that the main reason he brought me there was for me to see how easy it is to create a whole new reality based on agreed-upon precepts of collective consciousness. Each individual can participate in several parallel realities at the same time, but our linear minds can only experience one at a time. My expanded awareness opened me up to a viewpoint of seeing the playful waving of bubble wands to create many possible realities at once, and then noticing how operating in the linear mind would be the same as staying within only one bubble at a time, which leads to the belief that the one bubble is all there is. I reveled in this mind-blowing experience that confirmed what I have been teaching about our capabilities to change our existence with purposeful clarity of thoughts. Traveling far enough out got me beyond my mind’s limitations so I can better understand what I have known to be true. With the mission accomplished, we made the return journey back to my body where several hours had passed and I had still been in the breath-focused meditation, but the return shook me out of it and I was very aware of major discomfort but I was also exhausted so finally fell asleep at about 3 AM.
When I awoke at about 10 AM the next morning to concerned folks checking in on me, I felt the worst had passed and I was normalizing. By that afternoon I was back among the group with the only remaining symptoms of tingling hands and feet and a completely numb ring finger on my right hand where the stinger went in. Returning to my linear mind creates a challenge of describing the pure sense of ease and effortless that was so apparent in this bubble reality-creating mechanism. Again, the limitlessness of Source was brought home to me in a way that I hope I can convey enough to others that will motivate us to choose to focus our thoughts on how we want things to be and together create our Heaven on Earth where Love prevails.
There are also a couple of interesting asides to share. In the course of the journey, I received a message that this experience was boosting my immune system to a whole new level and the next day we got the first news of the swine flu “outbreak” in Mexico. And this journey with Earthwind was on the exact anniversary of when he came into my body and merged with me as my complimentary self 21 years earlier on April 24, 1988.
