The Nirumbee, Pryor Mountain's little people

S.O.T.T: The Pryor Mountains is a mountain range located on the Crow Reservation and Custer National Forest in the state of Montana, U.S.A. These mountains are also home to a ferocious race of little people, that the Crow Nation call the Nirumbee. The Nirumbee are said to be eighteen inches tall, with large heads, pointed teeth, pot bellies, with strong arms and legs and little, if any neck. Despite their reputation of fiercely protecting their territory, to the death, they have always been friendly to the Crow people.

It is told that the Nirumbee impart spiritual wisdom, teach the ways of medicine and healing to medicine men, and help shape young boys into great chiefs. One such example is Red Plume (to be known later in life as Long Hair), who after fasting for four days at the top of the Big Horn was taken into the mountain by four little people where they told him that wearing his red eagle feather would be his medicine, it would protect him and he would become a great leader of the Crow People.

Red Plume loved to tell of his visions and the predictions of his future glory and leadership, but though he was quickly approaching manhood with no glory or greatness, he soon became known by a new name, "Fool Boy". He was constantly ridiculed and taunted by his tribe to act upon the predictions he so loved to spread, and that was exactly what he did, promising to return and prove his medicine was strong. With a small group of warriors, Red Plume attacked a Lakota camp killing many enemies and returned home victoriously. He continued building his reputation with more battles and quickly the ridicule he had faced from his people turned to admiration and he became the great leader the Nirumbee foretold him to be...read more>>>....

The Growth Of Soul Influence

"After the major initiations are undergone, the state of consciousness of the illumined and liberated adept is such that language serves only to blind and to hinder true understanding.  

The consciousness of the initiate is of so lofty a nature that it can only be described in terms of release, of negation, and through the emphasis of that which it is not.  

It is a state of No-thing and Non-ego, for all egoic awareness is superseded by a state of Being and of consciousness which is only capable of comprehension and expression when form life is of no further use to the perfected spiritual life. 

It is a state of non-individuality, yet with the subconscious knowledge and gains of the individual experience.  The centre of consciousness is so far removed from any individual separate identity that that particular factor has faded entirely out, and only the macrocosmic life is sentiently realised.  

It is a state of nonactivity from our present angle of vision, because all individual reactions to the activity of matter or to that state of being which we call egoic, have dropped away, and Life and Mind can no longer be swept into motion by any of the factors which have hitherto produced what we have called soul activity and form existence" - Taken from Esoteric Psychology Vol 11 by Alice Bailey ....

A Thought For The Day .....


Voluntary Hibernation - A Vital Spiritual Process

Sometimes it is necessary to take ourselves out of circulation; to take a step back; to withdraw from usual routines. This is necessary in these moments to absorb all that has taken place in our lives since the last time we took a voluntary hibernation. For so many of us, alas, these voluntary step backs don't take place, and it is often only due to enforced withdrawals, like serious illness, that we can have a hibernation period.

It cannot be stressed enough how real, and how necessary a hibernation period is. Our consciousness is all seeing, and on total record, taking on board everything that is sees, filling our sub-conscious with debris. This debris in turn can mix up the communication wiring to our conscious mind, and confuse us with the decisions we find ourselves making.

During a voluntary withdrawal, we can actually slow the absorption process down, and begin a casual review of our thoughts, our feelings and our memories. This enables us to understand more the appearance of the world around us, a world shaped by our thinking. We can then learn to recognise once more who we are, and begin a self healing process, if required.

The withdrawal is especially helpful during the process known as 'the long dark night of the soul' which is a process associated with spiritual growth and the 'burn' of the spiritual muscles after a work out in the college of life gym. Experienced spiritual explorers will recognise immediately the signs of this process, and not hesitate to put themselves out of circulation. Clearing out the debris in the sub-conscious is a vital process to ensure that a true spiritual awakening can be sustained and the purity of energy flow between the levels of consciousness is maintained.

The magician will often use this voluntary hibernation to review life experiences, and his/her reaction to circumstances and stimuli in their life. Through this process it is possible to determine the life lessons required to be repeated, thus keeping those memories afloat in the mental library. It is also a good time to begin the assimilation process of those memories no longer necessary to the life journey; especially those memories linked to life lessons not to be repeated.

To the outside world, the actions of the magician, going through this hibernation process, will be deemed as odd, and out of character. The outside world will fail to understand the needs of the magician or the pathway in his/her life. It is thus another reason why the withdrawal process takes place as this quantum leap process is a personal and private thing for the magician - Matthew James   

Embracing Your Muse

Daily OM: Inspiration is an intangible yet inseparable part of the creative process. Nearly all creative possibilities are related to the muses that inspire us. The ancient Greeks believed that all creation, whether artistic or scientific in nature, was motivated by goddesses who served as the literal embodiment of inspiration. These were the Muses, the givers of the creative spark. We still rely on muses to drive the creative process, though ours may take a diverse range of forms. People we meet, intriguing ideas, movies, books, nature, and cultural ideals all have the potential to awaken our imaginative minds. When we are touched by our muses, we understand viscerally that we are capable of producing our own unique kind of greatness.

Many people move through life unaware of the presence of their muse. This lack of awareness can be compounded by the fact that we may have one muse that remains with us throughout our lives, multiple muses that inspire us concurrently, several muses that come and go as necessary, or a single muse that touches us briefly at specific moments...read more>>>....

Light Of Truth Oracle


Light Of Truth Oracle - "Rebirth" And The Shock Of A True Spiritual Awakening

"The effect on the psyche and the conscious mind, when the merging of the minds caused by the chemical wedding taking place, is irreversible.

The pain of the merging, of the realisation that the conscious mind is the false self, and not the true being .... causes an intense awakening as the changeling takes its first steps in the world, permitting its true self to walk in and take control of its intentions for this world. The true self is in reality an alien to this world.

Like a stranger, the awareness of the true self, enters the manifest plane and the shock of a true spiritual awakening is felt like a tsunami wave through all the levels of multiple-consciousness of the awakened soul. With both brain hemispheres now aligned as one, the control of the separate selfish self can be overcome, as the genetic wiring of the R-Complex in the left hemisphere is effectively melted to its core. The tendency for the ego to run amok has gone, as the alien self takes hold of the wheel of the ship

But its not without its consequences, as the mortal is no longer ever the same. Its physical form vibrates to a different frequency, likely to breed fear and contempt in the minds of humans around it. For they will detect a change, something different in that now alien form. Mankind is taught to fear what it doesn't understand, and uncontrolled egos are generated by the wiring of the R-Complex in those who have not had the awakening. So easily and so readily are the minds, of those who witness the awakened soul, to despise and to condemn the changeling in their midst.

Not one will question the impulse to cast out the declared outcast in their ranks. Not once do they realise it is in the nature of those that created the R-Complex wiring to have activated such a response. For if one awakens, then like the striking of a single string, all strings must surely vibrate on that same note. That cannot be. Thus the survival wiring is such that when one awakens, all who are around it are made to cast it out " - Matthew James.

Create Completeness

Daily OM: The creative power of the universe is infinite. A single molecule's destiny is as important as the consequences of the largest supernova. Human potential is subject to this power, but because we are sentient beings, each of us is permitted to choose whether we will struggle against it or work in tandem with it. When we give voice to our desires through focused meditation or solicit the help of spirit guides, we draw upon the universe's creative power to achieve certain ends. However, because our words are not all the universe hears, the response we receive may surprise us. The discourse we establish through our appeals is a blend of speech, thought, intention, and subconscious reflection. When we ask the universe for something, the unspoken message is that what we want does not exist, and the universe accepts this as truth. Conversely, we manifest completeness through affirmations in which we declare our desires as if we have already obtained them.

When we affirm that we are fulfilled instead of articulating deficiencies, we are asserting that contentment is a natural and necessary element of human existence. Our essence is an expression of fulfillment--the universe wants to satisfy our needs and desires. When we describe our realities in positive terms, we are not denying the challenges inherent in existence...read more>>>...

"It is said that we shift between parallel universes every single day. The realities are so similar that our conscious minds are not even aware of the shifts. Something somewhere forces chaotic change in our lives as it seeks its fateful end result; constantly shifting the realities until it finds the one where the path of destiny matches its prophecy. What hope is there for us if this is the case?" - Matthew James

Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Cover Up?

Light Of Truth Oracle - "Realisation" & The Mechanism Of Conveying The Energy Of The Highest Levels In Its Purest Form.

"There is a distinct advantage of undertaking your own artwork for oracle/divination cards. The artwork grows with you, and becomes infused with the essence of your authentic and inimitable magick... as well as having the symbology and insights you want in it.

Take the artwork for "Realisation" for example, the unique artwork is based on the concept of different levels & dimensions of communication occurring within a magician's awareness; and the mechanism of thought transference a little akin to 'chinese whispers' within the levels of the magician's consciousness.

The insight here is basically that which was was originally communicated by the higher consciousness source may not necessarily be what the magician speaks of on the earth plane. The intention of the direct thought from outside of the earth plane may not be realised.

The artwork applies the need for discipline and experience in the part of the magician to convey the purity of the energy that transcends the levels. Because it is energy, the selfish separate self is a risk to the higher planes, this shadowy essence of human consciousness can distort and tarnish the purity of the energy being brought into the earth plane.

This is the major problem the higher realms finds with employing inexperienced magicians to convey their messages. Hence the concept of these energy exchanges being like chinese whispers, as the inexperienced magician will either be mislead by the separate selfish self to extend the wrong energy into the earth plane, or they are not competent enough to hear and convey the original message." - Matthew James

"Locked Within The Spinning Top Of Their Inflated Egos" - A View On The Current State Of The Psychics

In many instances the 'Psychic Industry' has become like a school yard, with all the giggling students showing off their latest oracle cards and pretty banners, as if they were the latest IPhone or a packet of sought after Pokemon cards!

The giggling students are playing with a ticking time bomb that is going to explode in their faces. Psychic awareness is not a toy, or a game, or something to let their inflated egos control. 

It is embarrassing to watch the frolics of these completely inexperienced and clueless novices attempt to make a professional career out of such a dangerous art. Its dangerous for them fooling themselves that they are something they are not - 95% call themselves mediums when they clearly have no idea what it is they claim to have. It is more dangerous for the naive and gullible people that go to see them. The responsibility of working with a human soul is not something to take lightly.

It is also pitiful to hear the constant claims of working with 'angels, guides and ascended masters'. The likelihood of any of these claims being the real deal are less than 5%. Those that readily make these claims are, in truth, highly deluded. They are deluding themselves and misleading the people who pass money into their hands. If the giggling students were to stop and think, and manage to switch off their inflated egos for a while, and listened to what they had been saying - they would realise just how crazy the industry is they are creating.

If they knew what they were really communicating with; that is playing mind games with them; they would be reduced to whimpering blobs in a mental ward. The forces are certainly not angelic and benevolent; that is what the inexperienced student wishes to be connecting to, and that is what the forces are letting them believe they are connecting to. The mind of an inexperienced magician is so easy to fool.

It is chaos and madness in its current form. They are fooling themselves that they are growing spiritually using 'New Age' hocus pocus that has little truth within it. They read the books, they surf the web and they attend the courses, and become little more than sheep following each other. None of them are authentic, as they have become carbon copies of those who created the New Age beliefs in the first place. The giggling students will only become authentic when they think for themselves, and devise their own magical systems and use their own methods to work with the otherworlds. Until then they will remain locked within the spinning top of their inflated egos. 

Service to the Otherworlds only truly begins when the ego is controlled, the student becomes totally selfless and is not attempting to draw any attention to themselves. The student undertakes their work in obscurity ... how many heart doctors do you see announcing on Facebook every time they save a life? The heart doctor gets on with their job without drawing unnecessary attention to themselves. That is how it should be with the obscure 'psychic' ... live in obscurity, unknown, working with the otherworlds.  Yet, when you read the Facebook pages of so many of the giggling Psychic Students, the pages are full of all the wonderful messages and deeds they've undertaken. Its not necessary. It should come with the territory. Too many of them try to earn brownie points against each other by claiming the most incredible proof or connections. Its an uncontrolled ego at work; it also proves they are not really ready for the work they undertake. - C.L

The Wind

Daily Om: We can connect ourselves with a basic force of nature by focusing on the essential element of air during a wind meditation. We begin by centering ourselves on our breath. We inhale the life-giving force, feeling it fill us, and then releasing it into the world to let our breath mingle with the breath of nature. If we cannot feel the wind right now, we can recall times when the wind has sent us gifts of caresses on bare skin, ruffling our clothes and playing with our hair. We can evoke sounds carried on the wind, maybe laughter or song, or perhaps just the wind's own whispers through the trees or across the landscape of our ears. We may summon up an image of falling flowers or leaves from above, vivid colors set free with the wind's encouragement. We may envision birds drifting on unseen currents with wings unbent, or flags and banners unfurled in the breeze. The scent of a sea breeze may come to mind, or the aromas of freshly baked treats or fragrant blooms that reach us from a distance...read more>>>...

The Real Secrets Hidden in Antarctica... Revealed


What You Really Are - David Icke

The Tiny Grain Of Sand

Each and every explorer of the 'mystic path' begins the adventure with enthusiasm, naivety and an urgency to know everything there is immediately. They are sponges for all the knowledge and the comprehension of something new and exciting.

More often than not, they commence a professional career as a 'card reader' or a 'psychic' much too soon; barely have they comprehended what it is really all about, than they are attempting to practice the arts.

What they discover by way of 'psychic gifts', 'clairvoyant awareness' and the like is, in truth, but the size of a tiny grain of sand compared with the vast 'room' that represents what it all is really for. The tiny grain of sand of comprehension they bear, with which they base their entire understanding, is totally insignificant when compared to the gargantuan reality that is out there.  

In their eagerness to permit their uncontrolled ego have them be identified as the Psychic Medium, and thus gain a status in the psychic world, they fail to comprehend the process that is really going on. The Universe is merely offering them the first glimmer of truth ... it is not the whole truth, or even the truth, but a reflection of the astral plane. What they comprehend, and attempt to use as a mechanism of 'prediction' is not the real story, or even close to what it is all about. It works, for now, but is the tower of cards that always comes tumbling down.

They have taken the first steps, and will remain on those first steps, until they transcend the demands of the childish ego and begin the real growth process. The next level the universe presents to the explorer is much harder, and much more painful. So painful in fact, that the majority of explorers prefer to deal with the misleading and untruthful notions of guides, ascended masters and higher forces. The truth is in fact too hard to take ....

Healing Past Hurt

Ocean Beach, North Island New Zealand
Daily OM: There are many troubling phrases in our language that we use without considering their full meaning simply because they have been accepted into common knowledge. Even as our ideals progress, our language maintains some phrases from our past that no longer serve us, for example: Boys don't cry; good child; boys will be boys; problem child; illegitimate child; and many more. While these phrases may be used without harmful intent, they are inherently negative. Children can be especially sensitive to such phrases, which may stay with them their whole lives, adversely affecting their self-image and wounding their self-esteem. We can create positive change by choosing not to use these words and phrases as we come across them in our vocabulary.

It is challenging to examine our habits in terms of the words we use to express ourselves, but it is also exciting. Language is an area where we can exercise our free will, creating positive change in the world around us by simply choosing carefully the words we use...read more>>>...

Words Have Weight

Copyright Matthew James
Daily OM: Words carry energy and this gives language its power and its potential to heal or hurt. Most of us can remember a time that someone sent a word our way, and it stuck with us. It may have been the first time we received a truly accurate compliment, or the time a friend or sibling called us a name, but either way it stuck. This experience reminds us that what we say has weight and power and that being conscious means being aware of how we use words.

The more conscious we become, the more we deepen our relationship to the words we use so that we speak from a place of actually feeling what we are saying. We begin to recognize that words are not abstract, disconnected entities used only to convey meaning; they are powerful transmitters of feeling. For the next few days, you might want to practice noticing how the words you say and hear affect your body and your emotional state. Notice how the different communication styles of the people in your life make you feel. Also, watch closely to see how your own words come out and what affect they have on the people around you...read more>>>...

Dreaming The Dream

Servants Of The Light Tarot imagery
This isn't really living, this world we are in. Its taken half a century to realise just what it is. Its a dream of a life. Its an illusion. A dream in which you dream you are sleeping then waking up in a morning to be trapped in a daily routine of machine repetitiveness.

It is a convincing dream for sure. You pinch yourself and it apparently hurts. You look to long at the sun and it blinds your eyes. Someone shoots you with a gun and you suffer injury or worse, you leave the dream. It can all be explained by programmed responses; by anticipated outcomes that are written into the script of the dream.

It matters not if you don't believe me ... because you are in your life, your own separated reality. We think differently and perceive different things. But in mine, all of my research and experiences have led to this one conclusion ... it really matter not what you have in this dream. It is a dream of physical experiences, and you are here to dream them and let yourself be convinced they are real.

So, we may as well just get on with it, without caring too much about it. One of these days it will end ... and we either wake from this dream, or enter into the next one. But eventually the whole sequence will come to a close and our consciousness will either be told what it was all about, or it will remember what it is all about.

All the spiritual pilgrims who are looking for that something, or the answers to it all, will eventually come to this same conclusion that has been reported here. No amount of meditation or contemplation or spiritual awareness will change it ... we are on this earth to dream for as long as we are permitted to dream this dream. It cannot be changed. 

Trillions of incarnates have been here before us, and no doubt trillions more will be here after us. This earth reinvents and reanimates itself and because 'nothing is new under the sun' everything will keep repeating itself. It is what it is ... and it will continue to be so for as long as it is intended to be. We are merely travellers along the dream pathways, and we cannot change it. We are not meant to be able to change it. We are merely meant to accept the dream is reality and live it to the full. To get the most we can out of it. Simples. 


The Message of Pain

Daily OM: When we feel pain, our first impulse is often to eradicate it with medication. This is an understandable response, but sometimes in our hurry to get rid of pain, we forget that it is the body's way of letting us know that it needs our attention. A headache can inform us that we're hungry or stressed just as a sore throat might be telling us that we need to rest our voice. If we override these messages instead of respond to them, we risk worsening our condition. In addition, we create a feeling of disconnectedness between our minds and our bodies.

Physical pain is not the only kind of pain that lets us know our attention is needed. Emotional pain provides us with valuable information about the state of our psyche, letting us know that we have been affected by something and that we would do well to focus our awareness inward...read more>>>...

Caught On Camera

What do you see here?
We'd actually forgotten about this rather compelling evidence of a paranormal entity that we'd captured during a paranormal investigation back in 2011. What you are looking at on the right hand side is the manifestation of some kind of 'entity' through ectomist ... which wasn't visible to the naked eye, but became evident once photographed.

On this particular night, there was no visible mist caused by vapour or dampness, there was only clear visibility and three separate cameras captured numerous examples of paranormal entities.

We have several hundred images taken during this, and other investigations, which are in truth, very profound and very thought provoking.

Having rediscovered the images again, we will post more of these compelling images over the coming weeks.
