Here are a few of my close calls, provided to illustrate the danger one can face in journeying for people.
INTRODUCTION. It's not all sweetness and light in the spirit world. There are some highly dangerous and deranged beings and powerfull forces lurking about the place. Shamans and those working in shamanism typically come from a position of love and light, and these qualities overcome the dark side every time they are meant to. I have been near death several times in my journeys for clients over the years, dealing with particularly virulent beings or forces on their behalf. I have often sought the help of my guardian spirits in such work, and would not have survived without them. That said, I am now convinced that a shamanic worker cannot die in the journey state under any circumstances...unless it is that worker's sacred path to do so. That is, the worker's time to go has simply come.
RESCUING A SOUL PIECE
1/6/06: A journey taken at a client's request to determine the source of his current debilitating weakness..
As I entered the Spirit World, I found myself at a train station. The train was stopped and sitting before me. It was twilight, or very late afternoon. I saw one of my key Helpers, Owl, sitting on one of the seat rails. I saw my client, sitting alone on the car, staring out the window. The windows had blinds, and many of them were drawn. The train took off. We sped into a dark tunnel. We came to a stop at a station where a ghostly porter stood. He came to the door and announced to us it was time to get off: "Sir, this is your stop!" When we did, we found ourselves inside a station full of religious icons, statues and artifacts. My client went up to the base of this huge collection and knelt, and prayed. Owl then took me aside and pulled me up through the stone hill that served as the station's roof.
We went to the top of this mini-mountain. There, I found a large, burning cross. The flames appeared not to be of fire, but of spirit energy taking on that appearance. A deep voice emerged from the flames. "So, Shaman, we meet again," it said. "Yes," I said, "and my brother is in great pain." The voice answered, "Many pray to me through the statues and icons, but don't know how to hear my answers!" At this point, Jesus emerged from the cross. He came to my side and began going back down through the mountain with me. I felt an extraordinary, total peace at his side. We went down to my client. "Look, Shaman," said Jesus. "See how your client's lower world soul has left him completely!" Sure enough, it was roaming outside his body, coming nearer, then moving farther away. My client's "Suns (pronounced "soons")" soul then took off, bolting down a dark tunnel in the side wall of the hill.
I took off after it instinctively. We came out of the tunnel into a very dark place. All I could see was the soul piece, a small orb of light, darting around in the blackness a little bit ahead of me. I took out my shaman mirror and absorbed the soul piece into it for safe keeping. I looked around and saw a small opening of light..the tunnel back! I headed for it quickly, for I had a strong sense of foreboding in this place. It seemed like an endless chasm of nothingness. I felt as if I was being chased, or pulled at, as I moved as fast as I could toward the light. As I was in the tunnel, I felt myself being pulled back. Owl stuck his wing into the tunnel ahead of me. I grabbed it. He pulled me up as the long T\tunnel behind me kept sealing with rock just behind me as I moved along. I emerged into the area where my client sat just as the tunnel sealed shut, locking the darkness and whatever was following me inside. I had just made it, and this is the closest I have ever been to being lost forever on a journey. But it was worth it!
When we were back in the station, jesus told me my client's soul had fled to the part of the Lower World where souls do NOT reincarnate. They either remain in absolute darkness there, or cease to exist. He told me this means my client feels unworthy of living right now. Jesus then went up to the kneeling man, my client, and put his hands in his. He began speaking softly to him. I could not hear what he said, but I'm sure the topic was my client's self-Image. This is the personal relationship people need to have with Jesus..one on one, Hands in hands. I was then told to place my client's soul piece in a clear piece of crystal quartz I had bought earlier in the day. I'm to send it along with the 10-ball Ongon for his son. We then went back to the top of the mountain. There, a man appeared. He had hair covering his face down to his neck. Two small horns of light emerged from the top sides of his head. I asked Jesus who this man is. Jesus said, "You call him the Anti-Christ...but he is necessary to preserve the sacred Balance. However, he is not someone you'd want to side with..." Jesus then told me that he and I will work together again. I found this astonishingly wonderful and humbling. The final scene of the journey seemed to come from nowhere. I saw a man wearing sandals land on his knees next to a canoe stored on some sawhorses, Bottom up. The call back drumming then sounded, and I returned to my room.
