    [Free 1st Part] When Your Body Thinks It's the Boss

    Recently, through conversations with other awake and aware individuals, our DTTR panelists, I realized that our physical bodies often behave as if they are the boss of our experience, but they are not. Our soul is. The body makes demands, negotiates, complains, threatens, and tries to control outcomes. Often, this happens in a completely unconscious way. Sometimes it happens so subtly that the soul mistakes it for intuition, guidance, or inner knowing. But at other times, especially when the soul has conscious communication with the body, something I have been teaching for more than a decade, we can clearly hear it trying to make the soul comply. Things like, “We had an agreement,” “This is how it’s always been done,” or even, “You’re abusing me.” These are not necessarily communications. Often, they are attempts to regain authority. And often they are fear-based statements. How is it that the body acts like a bully when we are trying to empower ourselves and drop negative limitations, programs, and behaviors? Because the physical body was created within a light-dark paradigm, it naturally operates through power-over-others dynamics. As humanity shifts beyond that paradigm, many of our bodies resist. Change feels dangerous to them. Like a teenager throwing a tantrum, the body may use pain, fear, fatigue, aging, illness, or stored trauma to pull your attention and decisions back under its control. It needs to keep things the same. As far as it is concerned, change is not good. Particularly massive changes such as not aging or extending life far beyond what we currently consider possible. Yes, that is possible. This does not mean the body never provides useful information. Pain can be information. Exhaustion can be information. The key is learning the difference between information and manipulation. When the body reports conditions, listen. When it starts calling the shots, remember who the boss is. What does this look like? A feeling of exhaustion may simply be information. Extreme flu-like symptoms, brain fog, or confusion that appear at exactly the moment you need to take action may be something entirely different. When you look to see what is happening, the body might say, “We need to rest. You are working too much.” Who gave it permission to make those kinds of decisions for us? Well, we did, of course. Yet although it might feel like a good reason, and that we should have rested more so as not to get sick, the truth is that the body should not have taken us to that extreme. We, as souls, have complete control over our bodies. If we only knew how. Throughout history, advanced practitioners have demonstrated extraordinary influence over their physical bodies. They remind us that consciousness directs matter, not the other way around. The body is not the boss of our experience day to day, or even lifetime after lifetime. We are. The soul is. When a nasty physical symptom, fear, or limitation becomes the center of your attention, it often gains power. When you stop feeding it authority and reclaim your sovereignty, the dynamic changes. For example, I broke an ankle, but it did not actually stop me from doing the important things. The information came in that if I did not do what my body wanted, it would keep breaking bones until I complied. Wow. Well, I can work around that. It is not the first time my body has tried to force me to do things through extreme measures, including threatening to die and leave me behind so it could follow its own path. And it has not won. The body is not malicious. It is operating exactly as it was designed to operate. The problem is not that it bullies. The problem is that we believe it has the authority to do so. We need to remember that the body is running through a crust of low-frequency programs in order for us to have a light-dark experience. Bodies, like most of our souls, are fundamentally light-only. To have dark experiences, we incorporated artificial limitations and deeply restrictive programs into ourselves. We did this both in our bodies and our souls. And there is more. Aging, for example, is reinforced by collective beliefs and social programming. The body is so entrenched in these patterns that it has forgotten that alternatives exist. As Dr. Kara, one of our Driving To The Rez panelists, pointed out recently, when one program is removed, another often rushes in to take its place, she mentioned that it feels like when we remove the personal program, the social ones take over. It acts like a failsafe designed to keep those limiting programs intact in our co-created reality of light/dark. Iliana, another panelist, observed that this can feel like layers of programming, where removing one layer simply reveals another beneath it. Expanding beyond individual and social conditioning helps the body remember what it once knew. That limitations are choices, not inevitabilities written in stone. And that the soul is the one that has the authority to make those choices. This is possible because our body exists within our soul, not the other way around. Many limitations are not simply personal programs that we integrated into our own bodies. There are also social programs in there as well. Programs we agreed to in order to enter a light/dark experience. Also, as Larry pointed out in our conversation, the body’s greatest trick is convincing us that it is the one making the decisions. Its favorite tools are pleasure, discomfort, fear, and distraction. Yet none of these make it the authority over our experience or reality. They are just ways to convince us, or bully us, into compliance. Listen to your body. Care for it. Support it. But do not confuse its voice with authority. Do not assume it knows what is best for you simply because it insists that it does. The body is your companion in this experience, not your master. The authority and decision-making have always belonged to you. The soul. The discussion doesn’t stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

    [Free 1st Part] Memories of Lemuria

    The Lemurian energy has come and gone from my life several times since 2006, but this article is about a physical visit Larry and I had with the Lemurians and I’m sharing it in preparation for our June 2023 Class “Lemurian Reconnection”. Back in 2014, Larry and I went to Lemuria with two Spanish ladies. The place we entered Lemuria was at “Monastery Santa Maria de Montserrat”, a magnificent monastery at the edge of majestic mountains located about 45km, 28 miles, northwest of Barcelona, Spain. We had held an event in Barcelona at the time, and also planned a visit to the well known Lemurian portal in Montserrat. There are Lemurian portals at various locations around the planet. The Monastery had been built on the old location of a large Lemurian portal. But that portal had since been closed, and smaller portals are still in place in various locations on the mountains around the monastery. The monastery itself was an example of the typical divine energy leaching system. Technology that is used to absorb the individual’s awe and inspiration felt from being exposed to the larger than life energy of the sacred spots churches, abbeys, cathedrals, monasteries and convents are built upon. So, nothing new to write home about that part of the visit. I had visited the portal in 2012 with Daniela and a portal keeper we met at the monastery who “just happened to be there that day” and had confirmed the location of the most accessible portal. So I knew where that portal was and was able to take us there in 2014. Larry, the ladies and I left the monastery courtyard and followed a well trodden, nicely built path up the mountain where I had found the portal two years earlier. Inelia’s Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. We had to walk quite some distance before arriving at the portal. It was literally on the path and there were pillars and seats on the edge of the path on that spot. We sat down, Larry, myself and the two ladies, and closed our eyes. I scanned the portal and “knocked” to see if there was anyone there and could we have a visit. I received the message that there was no one there to open it, but there were people on the way to meet us, and to come back in a while. I don’t exactly remember how long we had to wait. We continued up the mountain and enjoyed the views, the company and interesting conversation. At the allotted time, we returned and sat on the stone seats on the edge of the path and closed our eyes. After we sat there a while, there was a massive crack sound, like a giant boulder had just crashed on the path beside us. We opened our eyes confused because there was no boulder, no evidence whatsoever that anything physical had just occurred. What followed was the typical experience many people have, when traveling to Lemuria. The two ladies had laid down on the stone benches and were fast asleep. Larry rubbed his eyes and saw a young couple walking past us on the path. He got very mad at them because, in his words, she was hundreds of years old and he was super young. He said “What is she doing with him, she’s much too old for him!!” They actually looked like a regular normal couple, no obvious age difference really. I looked at Larry’s arms, they were now bruised. He had hand mark bruises near his wrists. I checked his legs and the same marks were visible near his feet. His phone, which was disconnected to all networks, had the time as 11pm, but it was only 4pm in reality. The phone then converted to the right time when he took it off airplane mode which he had turned on when we arrived to save battery usage for use as a camera and clock. It had worked perfectly before and after the incident, yet while disconnected from the network it had measured 7 hours more time passing than the actual time was He was also starving and thirsty, although we had eaten just an hour earlier. One of the ladies said that she felt more rested than she had in a long time, and she was also very, very hungry. The other lady and I were not hungry at all, and we were rather tired. This all made sense after I closed my eyes and pulled up the memories of what had just happened. Our memories had been cleared of the events, but there were remnants of it. Before I said anything, one of the ladies said that she must not remember anything as it would be too painful for her to do so. Her daily life would lose all importance and she wouldn’t be able to continue in her present life if she did. Her words were urgent, powerful, with deep conviction. The other lady said she thought she had had a nice nap. And Larry just got angry again. I waited until later to tell Larry about what I remembered of the incident. We indeed had visited with the Lemurians. And, yes, life in our part of the world lost a lot of color, flavor and meaning when I let the memories resurface. It was not easy. This is what I saw: as we were met at the portal, the Lemurians took us individually into their space. This was because, in their experience, when a group comes into their reality, each person can behave very, very differently and they like to be able to gently wake them (if the person chooses to do so), and deal with what happens in a gentle way. After the person gets their footing and deals with the experience, they are then introduced to the welcoming party. There is also food, and if wanted the person can have a tour of technologies or other things. The bruises on Larry’s arms and legs had happened because they had to hold him down as he became very violent when he woke up there and I was not around. It got very out of control. One of the ladies had indeed stayed in the welcoming room and simply slept through the whole experience. The other lady, the one who said she did not want to remember, spent the time exploring, chatting and eating the delicious and colorful, life filled food they had prepared for us. When I reported our visit at a public level back then, many people asked me about their technology, did they have free energy? Stuff like that. But those types of things were not in my mind to ask at the time. I was more interested in their cooking, the fabric their clothes were made of and also their makeup. I was interested in their social discourse, how they communicated, why they had split from us, and how they managed society. Their lifespans, health, family structures, cities and such. The Lemurians are back in my awareness now, and Larry and I are giving a class about them which will include an exercise for us to reestablish our high-frequency links to them.

    [Free 1st Part] There and Back Again Tires, Wind, Quartz, and Legions of Light - Chapter 4

    The Departure It took us way longer than expected, but eventually Larry and I left Colorado to return home. Or at least, that was the plan. The land ownership was finally settled, all the documents were registered, officiated, finalized and everything was now in our names. Other people no longer had a footing or claim to the land or anything they had abandoned there. We had three major structures (including a vehicle) removed from the land, cutting off the negative energy cords they had anchored there. I woke up one day to find that Larry was removing water tanks, packing generators, tools and plants. Okidoki, I thought. This is it. We are leaving. A few hours later, we started the GPS and it said, 19 hours to Port Angeles. We discussed where we might stop, how many hours we would drive that day and we left. We came to a grinding stop a few yards outside of the property… OMG, we had left Chinook tied up in the shade in the sand castle! Our giant, white, hard-to-miss Maremmano-Abruzzese dog. We re-checked everything again, loaded our love bug onto the truck and set off yet again. We wanted to get north of Salt Lake City on the first day, which we did. We actually stayed at a Cabelas’ carpark, and there was a bit of grass next to us. The dogs sniffed it, laid down on it and went to sleep. They had missed the grass. Everything was good, we had driven the rest of the day and had found a great place to park. The next day, we found a restaurant that opened for breakfast at 7:30am. We walked over and found it to be both beautiful and high-frequency. The food was also amazing. After breakfast, our plan was to drive all day and get to Eastern Washington. But when we got back in the car and started the map, it showed us we still had 17 hours left. How could this be? It was so confusing, we had driven a long way the previous day. We sighed and started the drive again. It is not like this is the first time we had missing time in our travels. In fact, as the journey unfolded, Larry and I started comparing notes with earlier trips and noticing some very strange patterns. We will explore those more deeply in the podcast. Again, we drove all day. We veered north. The time on the GPS looked very similar to the Oregon route. We found an amazing National Forest camping ground and after some chopping of wood, walking the dogs and dinner, we went to sleep. The next day the story repeated. Instead of the 8 hours left that the GPS had told us the previous night, we had 14! OK, this was odd, weird and strange. Larry decided to find a physical map to check our journey on. There was a large map outside an information stop in Lolo, Montana. Yup, you guessed it. We still had 14 hours left to get home. At that point we stopped trying to make sense of it and simply kept driving. We can discard it all with bad planning or failing GPS directions. But this became even stranger. When we left Lolo, the GPS said to go north to Moscow and Coeur d’Alene. I was a bit confused by this, but we followed the instructions. As I was looking at the gps trying to figure out how far we were so we could stop for food there, I looked up and saw a notice saying “Welcome to Washington”. And, as I pointed it out to Larry asking him when we had stopped going north (he said we had not), I looked down to the map and saw our dot move from the road north, to one going west. Not only that, but it was well within Washington. Hmm, OK, we thought. And looked around us. Endless green fields stretched to the horizon. Strong grasses rolled in the wind like waves on an ocean. Here and there sat seriously beautiful farmhouse compounds surrounded by trees, barns and silence. It felt less like driving through a place and more like moving through a painting. Again, we drove all day. Nothing changed. The fields seemed to go forever. It does not take all day to drive across Washington State. Yet, at the end of the day, just as the green fields turned to desert, we found a campground in Wanapum Recreation Area. Yes, Still eastern washington. The next day we did manage to get close to home! You got it. We drove all day and managed to get past Port Angeles, where we camped for the evening in our shared land, Fossil Beach, where our friends were waiting. When we finally did get home, the next day, we felt very different from when we had left, different from who we had been in Colorado, and different again from who we had been on the road home. The locations themselves no longer seemed important. It was like we had never left home at all. Or more like all of it was home. Which makes me wonder. Bilbo eventually returned to the Shire. So did we. But whether either of us ever truly left home, the road, or the destination is another question entirely. And no, we didn’t bring home a ring to rule them all, but we did bring a truck full of quartz crystals. On this week’s Wisdom Keepers Hour, we will share photographs, videos, and reflections from the journey home. Our panelists will also compare their own return journeys and help us explore a question we still cannot fully answer: How do you drive for days and somehow remain inside the same stretch of road?

    [Free 1st Part] When Pain Warps Your Timeline

    When Feeling Good Becomes the Goal Instead of the Compass Have you ever heard someone, maybe yourself, say “I checked, and my body said no.” When it comes to making an important decision? Larry and I were talking on our drive home after the Looking at 2026 call about a pattern we’ve seen again and again, not just in others, but in ourselves. When faced with decisions, even important ones, people often choose based on pain avoidance. The deciding factor isn’t what’s best long-term, but whether something feels comfortable or uncomfortable in the body. That choice feels reasonable. It’s also quietly costly. This will often evolve into a Catch-22 situation, always feeding itself into unending circles that have us spinning on our wheels and not getting anywhere. An example of these spinning wheels when we fall for the body decision making by avoiding pain is when the “higher” self will place us in super painful situations in order to shift us to do something else. Like poverty and bad credit ratings, for example, used to stop us from a shopping addiction. Left field! I know. The Body Is Brilliant — and Not in Charge I’ve spoken at length about why body-based resonance and dissonance are not enough to “truth” something even though our body is excellent at finding what is true and what is not. Sensations and emotions can be influenced by unconscious programs, fear responses, or the body’s own agenda. However, even though the body is excellent at seeking comfort and relief and we can use that tendency to find what is true from what is false, the body is not designed to evaluate long-term outcomes that include life changes. The body is designed for the here and now comfort cue, illustrated sometimes by the saying, short term pain for long term gain used to push through discomfort in order to achieve, perhaps, better physical fitness. Body says NO, but WE know better. Another dramatic example is substance addiction: the body prioritizes numbness or pleasure despite the soul knowing the long-term consequences can be catastrophic. The body will tell the person that the truth is that if they have a few drinks, their pleasure and comfort will increase. Yup, it’s true! A short term pleasure for a long term pain, again an instance where the body doesn’t see long term results as relevant. A quieter example is turning down a better job because being the new person feels uncomfortable, even though staying put limits the person’s growth. The body is telling the truth when saying that staying with what is familiar is less stressful (in the short term - the body can’t see long term). In both cases, comfort wins. Wisdom loses. Why Feeling Good Was Never Meant to Make Life Decisions I use bodily sensation as a guidance system in very limited ways. It helps me find lost objects or navigate while driving without an address. For that, it’s precise and useful. But it does not work for life decisions. Change is uncomfortable. Growth disrupts equilibrium. New directions activate fear and uncertainty in the body. If comfort were the deciding factor, no meaningful transformation would ever occur. Short-Term Comfort Is Not the Same as Long-Term Wisdom The phrase “the path of least resistance” often gets misused. What people actually follow is the path of least discomfort. Because change triggers resistance in the body, the mind, and even our co-creators, choosing comfort often results in staying still. The familiar feels safer than the unknown, even when it leads nowhere. “I wanted to move to a high-frequency community, but it rains there all the time and my body can’t stand the rain.” Basing the entire decision of where to live on their body comfort, disregards the entirety of their experience and relationship with their community. Figuring out when it’s fear of pain, or rain, making the decision, or an intuitive guiding system is a fine line. Let’s learn how to discern what is what when it comes to body discomfort. How the Nervous System Prioritizes Relief The body is wired to reduce pain and avoid stress. Discomfort signals danger. The instruction is simple: stop, withdraw, avoid. This system is essential for survival. It is not designed for strategic decision-making. When the body leads, long-term considerations disappear. In our present society, we are taught and wired for instant gratification and endorphin hits. Breaking through the discomfort of change is not something that is encouraged or taught in school. And even the places that teach it, like boot camp in the armed forces, it is done in ways that also include brain washing and following orders that push us past our humaneness. Or cramming for final exams, harsh and hard and uncomfortable, but teaches short term memory of useless data over long term wisdom or discernment. In other words, our society does not teach us any high-frequency reason or way to push past discomfort in order to see a clear long term road ahead. Wisdom Sees Further Than Sensation The body can provide valuable data, but only when framed correctly. Sensations help refine questions. They do not provide answers. Wisdom holds context. It sees timing, consequence, and trajectory. When wisdom leads, the body eventually recalibrates. We have to take this into consideration when dealing with body discomforts as we make our long term decisions. One of the reasons why bodies react so heavily to long term decisions that require change is another aspect of society that is encouraged to disempower us. That is the aspect of teaching people to make decisions on their own (or their spouse if they are married), not as a group or tribe. Group or tribe decision making is so corrupted in society that we have been taught to distrust it absolutely. Huge financial and intellectual investments go into manipulating decision making of leaders and groups of people, making them think they are making good long term decisions when in fact the decisions were made for them. And yes, those manipulations are all comfort/discomfort based. All our bodies are involved in this; emotional, mental, ego, energy as well as physical. I am not giving us an “out” or “excuses” for letting the seeking of comfort and pleasure be our main decision making tool. I am bringing this information into our awareness so that we can understand what is happening and we can pivot from our previous disabling habits and into empowered ones. Let’s understand what we are doing and not fall into the blame-game here. Why Listening Only to the Body Shrinks Futures Somatic information is useful, but it must be interpreted, not obeyed. Periods of high stress, fear, or loss are especially poor times to use bodily sensation to guide decisions. Emotional processing comes first. Otherwise, fear quietly becomes the decision-maker. And if there’s something more limiting than choosing comfort, it’s choosing from fear. Making long term and life decisions is by default a stressful time for our bodies. So, who is in charge? The body is an extraordinary instrument for navigating a physical world. It is fast, sensitive, and deeply invested in survival. But it was never meant to be a long-term strategist. When we hand authority to comfort or pain avoidance, we don’t stay safe. We stay small, through thousands of reasonable-seeming choices that favor relief and pleasure over direction. Discomfort, fear, mental spinning, and emotional exhaustion do not automatically mean we are doing something wrong. They often mean we are doing something new. Whether it is wrong or right needs further work and exploration. The mistake is not feeling these signals. The mistake is letting them decide for us before we can figure out what they are saying. When the body is under stress, the task is not to reorganize our lives around eliminating those sensations. The task is to restore clarity, process the charge, and step into a wider field of awareness where decisions can be made with context, timing, and purpose intact. From that larger awareness, the body can be met with care rather than obedience. Comfort can follow. But it does not lead. Our mission and long term goals don’t respond to how comfortable we feel and how much pleasure we are getting moment to moment. High-frequency reality responds to who is in charge. Make sure it’s you. The discussion doesn’t stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists. This is a public episode.

    [Free 1st Part] There and Back Again Tires, Wind, Quartz, and Legions of Light - Chapter 3

    Chapter Three: Time, Quartz Hills and Resolution Trash and quartz can exist within the same geography… if we let it. Today, I want to talk about time. Time, to me, is the movement of objects through space. As we witness movement, we call this “time”. A clock does not depict time, it depicts movements of its arms around the clock face. The movement of objects through space. The reason I am talking about time is that our stay at our Reservoir of Power has been clocked by movement of objects and people. But when objects start appearing and disappearing from space, or spaces that were not there before, suddenly are, we can no longer ignore that when we say “yes” to a Gaia and high-frequency human collective request, things are going to step out of time and into the realm of conscious co-creation. OK, the above might sound a bit cryptic, so let me tell you what has been happening, and you can share your own conclusions around it during our Friday Meetup for Driving To The Rez. Our guests as well as our Olympic Peninsula tribe and the co-conspirators in my Birthday Party Celebration, left Colorado and went home. Some went home via long routes to other locations, but eventually they all got there. Suddenly, there was silence in the land, coffee for two instead of twenty, desert birds singing instead of laughter. The silence after everyone left was enormous. For days the land had been full of movement. Music, generators, conversations, shovels, laughter, vehicles arriving and leaving, people cooking, people in discussion, people hugging, people working. And then suddenly there were only the two of us, our three dogs, the wind, and whatever remained behind after the gathering dispersed. Even the Reservoir of Power itself felt different. Larger somehow. It is weeks later now and Larry and I are still at the land, which does not feel exactly like home, but not exactly away from home either. I knew, coming in, that Larry and I would need to stay at least another few working days in Colorado, as I had received clear indications that we had to sort out our legal land claims as well as claiming the space completely away from darkness. And that we needed to remove living structures left behind from last October. I mentally planned to do that after everyone left. In case you are new to this story, the land we own in Colorado is desert land that was completely covered in drug addicts and their shanty town. Gaia requested, no, actually she demanded that we remove all that darkness from this land. After which she revealed that this land was, in fact, a reservoir of power. Larry and I are softies, and when some of those people who had been evicted seven months ago asked for more time for them to be able to remove their prior living quarters, we allowed them to procrastinate for months. Seven months, in fact. While here, and as our guests, who are all highly skilled in expansion of awareness, can testify, the removal of those living structures was important. The structures impinged greatly, despite their small footprint on the vast acreage. An impression beyond the physical. Darkness likes to make you wait because as you wait, they still have an energy line straight into your life. Lightworkers think that waiting for darkness to sort itself out before moving out is compassionate, it is not. Anyway, the few extra days needed to get the land fully into our names have now turned into nearly a month. The path was filled with what Larry calls “monkey mind communication.” In other words, it wasn’t a simple “Gaia asks us to remove these things from the land” and we do it. If we had done it, maybe we would be home by now. Every time we prepared to leave before things were settled, another obstacle appeared forcing us to stay. When we ignored the requests, things escalated. One of the people who had left last October decided she was moving back in. When we refused entry, she physically attacked us. It escalated into both criminal and civil court very quickly, but resolution moved much slower. Delays stacked upon delays, keeping us on the land a few more days at a time. Once the pattern became clear, we decided to stop resisting what we were being asked to do and simply do it. Also, if monkey-mind communication is required, we would much rather receive it through a mountain full of quartz crystals than through violent confrontation. Done! Things started moving. Spaces became visible that were otherwise invisible. I woke up one day with the words “Tartaria” in my mind. The Larger Earth. What the heck?? That was my initial reaction, then I became curious. So, Larry and I started exploring mountains and canyons with our eyes wide open. The canyons themselves felt impossible. Massive walls of stone, strange formations, an entire hill glittering in the sunlight as if someone had cracked open the inside of the Earth and left it exposed. A mountain of quartz pieces! The deeper we drove, the stranger the landscape felt. Not dangerous. Not even unfriendly. Just… hidden in plain sight. Radical changes in landscape from desert dry to forests and lakes. The earth would go from deep red to black, to brown, to gold. Lost objects started appearing back on our land, we detected Tartaria technology nearby, chemtrails filled the skies, and we found out that there is something very strange happening in Delta, Colorado. By all appearances, Delta is a small, insignificant city. Barely bigger than a town, really. However, as we started noticing how odd this town was, including what increasingly appeared to us to be a major power reservoir northeast of the city… We also noticed a ton of other strange things, such as billionaires/trillionaires living all around it, the city logo being an Illuminati pyramid, and signs of Tartaria left in the canyons and hills close by. It might, by all appearances, seem that Larry and I stopped moving through time. After all, we still have not started our journey back to Washington. But in truth, it feels as if we are standing in the center of immense movement through space. Space expanding. Revealing a past covered in mud, a present filled with wonder and power, and perhaps a future written by what we are willing to imagine into being. Will next week see us finally begin the journey home? Perhaps. But then again, Bilbo Baggins did return home eventually, and yet he was never entirely the same afterward. Nor was the Shire untouched by what he brought back with him. We don’t plan on a ring to rule them all, that’s for sure. At most, maybe a truck full of quartz. We will share some of photographs and videos of our strange and wondrous discoveries on the Wisdom Keeper hour of DrivingToTheRez.com The discussion doesn’t stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

    [Free 1st Part] There and Back Again Tires, Wind, Quartz, and Legions of Light - Ch. 2 - Lightworkers with shovels

    Chapter Two: Wind, Sigils, and Lightworkers With Shovels The Engine It was the first morning at the Reservoir of Light when Larry’s dump truck broke down directly in front of the sand castle. Two days before my birthday gathering, lightworkers were waking up, grabbing shovels, drinking coffee, and preparing to clear the land. Larry had bought the truck the previous October specifically to haul garbage away. Instead, the truck died in a big puff of steam and unmuffled exhaust roaring into silence. Jay, our neighbor, said “That thing’s never moving again unless I tow it away”. I would love to explain exactly what happened to the engine, but all I heard was: “oil too full,” “rebuild in a can,” and something about water in the blablabla. On the podcast Larry can explain what any of that actually means, or whether I even heard it correctly. What I did understand was this: we suddenly had piles of garbage, dozens of willing helpers, and nowhere to put anything. Then our neighbor arrived with his work dump truck. The lightworkers filled it to the rim. He drove away, and we thought the problem had been solved. He ended up dumping a full load of trash onto his own land, because the owner of the dumptruck, his boss, needed it before the dump would open. DANG!! The pattern we had noticed on the road was continuing. Fred replaced all four trailer tires for his trip back, “just in case” but still lost a tire. Ash got a flat tire and replaced all four of hers. By the time the gathering ended, we learned that more tire problems happened as people travelled home. Coincidence? Maybe. But it felt increasingly clear that this gathering was not designed for passive passengers. The land demanded participation. Arrival at the Land We arrived a few days before the guests, well into the evening. Making it there without any more mechanical trouble already felt like a victory. The land itself felt itchy-scratchy. There were abandoned vehicles still needing removal, piles of debris, unfinished cleanup, and the unresolved legal process of transferring the land fully into Larry’s and my name. Our neighbor had already worked long and hard helping us clear garbage and remove vehicles, and the difference was enormous. But cleaner is not the same as ready. It became obvious very quickly that last year’s initiation into this land was continuing into this year. Some things do not resolve themselves in a single pass. Cleanup Begins Larry mentioned that on the first day he cooked at the sand castle kitchen, there were only one or two people around to share food with him. The next day there was a line. People organized themselves naturally into groups. Cleaning, organizing, bagging, repairing systems, preparing spaces, hauling debris. Ashley created shared to-do lists, and people quietly took ownership of them without needing direction. I have to tell you, Lightworkers with Shovels are something to experience. The work itself became strangely meaningful. Physical labor, symbolic realizations, coincidences, conversations, discoveries. The land seemed to respond to participation. Off Grid Reality The Reservoir of Light is completely off-grid. No electricity, water, or sewage systems. Just desert land, wind, dust, generators, batteries, and people trying to make things work together. And the conditions were intense. High winds. Freezing nights. Scorching daytime heat. Dust everywhere. Batteries dying. Coffee emergencies. Water runs. Exhaustion. No one left. Instead, people gathered closer. We had daily Lightning Chats, rock-hounding expeditions, bonfires, night watches, and moments of connection difficult to explain unless you were there. Ashley organized a scavenger hunt for the birthday, Kara helped execute it, and the guests are still talking about it. Martha organized karaoke the night of the celebration and many of us laughed and sang so much we lost our voices. It was hard. It was joyful. And the longer we stayed on the land, the stranger things became. At first the strange things were easy to dismiss. A misplaced object.Something appearing where it should not be.Sounds that did not quite make sense. A feeling that reality itself was becoming slightly less predictable around the edges. But as the days continued, the glitches became harder to ignore. Next week I will share more about all the odd and curious things that started happening all over the land.

    [Free 1st Part] There and Back Again Tires, Wind, Quartz, and Legions of Light

    Chapter 1 - A Flat Tire in Heaven At the end of the very first day on the road, we had a destructive blowout of one trailer tire. As Larry was changing the ruined one, the tire next to it was also damaged and went flat. Two flat tires. One spare. Here is the interesting thing about that moment. It happened near a highway exit, next to a massive empty carpark with big bright lights that allowed us to see everything and be outside of highway danger. We also noticed that there were multiple stores nearby that carried new trailer wheels and tires, which is extremely rare. On our last trip we had to shop around for hours to find a store that had them. This brought us to discuss good and bad news, and while things may happen as often as not, when the light rises and becomes form, things will happen where support is most available. A flat tire in hell, or a flat tire in heaven.. WTF, why even get a flat? But perhaps I should start at the beginning. May the Fourth: Calling the Legions of Light This year, 2026, I turned 60 years old. For many decades I have talked about what I would do in my 60th year, if I ever got to it, which I doubted, and here we are. One of the items was that I would start smoking again once the year began. Why is that? And why did I quit in the first place? Listen to the podcast to find out the details. Even before this year arrived, however, I had already decided smoking was a prospect with challenges. Larry agreed, let’s maybe not start smoking again. Ah well. Things change and plans with them. Which brings me to my topic for this article. Instead of starting to smoke again, I decided to have a big birthday party at our land in Colorado. The Shamanshack mystics, our panelists Dr Kara, Ash and Iliana, asked me if I wanted them to plan and execute the party in Colorado. I said, “yes.” And here we are, several months later and Larry and I are still on the land after the celebration, which we decided to hold on May The Fourth. This date known as Star Wars Day is celebrated annually on May 4th, a pun on the iconic “May the Force be with you” phrase. Why hold my party on Star Wars Day, you may ask. Well, I had opened the invitation to the legions of light. And, we would be holding it on what is now established as a land that is a reservoir of power. There is a whole story behind how we discovered this land to be a reservoir of power, and what Gaia and the human collective asked of Larry and me. We will share that story on the podcast as well, DrivingToTheRez.com Because of that, the day May The Force Be With you seemed to fit perfectly. The party was scheduled and the invitation went out. The planners had planned for 20-30 attendees. I had envisioned 5,500 people minimum, with an optimum number of 20,000. However, as I looked at the disparity between the numbers planned and the ones in my mind, I realized that we are not trained, or equipped, to host legions of lightworkers this year. Therefore, I said, “20 people is perfect.” I knew that whomever was ready for the land, would arrive. We had a total of 25 participants, excluding Larry and me. The Road Leaving our home in Washington, which is 1,345 miles away from our land in Colorado, was a challenge. We are well rooted to our rewe and routines. But we got on it and prepared the RV, truck, animal care, and our 20 year old son for holding the fort while we were away. Some of you may remember last year’s article Crystals, Black Magic, and Sanity: A Colorado Initiation, where I shared part of our first experiences with this land in Colorado. At the time, I thought the initiation was about cleaning the land. I am beginning to suspect the land had other ideas. One of my favorite subtitles ever written is There and Back Again, which many people think belongs to The Lord of the Rings, but it is actually the subtitle of The Hobbit. It was the title of Bilbo Baggins’s memoir, his journal of leaving home, having an adventure that changed him completely, and then returning home again. But journeys are rarely the same in reverse. We like to think we simply go somewhere and then come back unchanged except perhaps for a few stories and photographs. Yet, on some journeys, something happens on the road, especially when the journey is difficult, meaningful, or strange, and the person who returns is not exactly the same person who left. And perhaps that is why the “back again” part matters just as much as the “there.” We get home and notice how everything is “the same,” while we have radically changed, a change we may never have consciously noticed without the sameness of home waiting for us. The journey “there” began with our cat Theadora in tow, but after only 6 miles down the road we had to turn back and drop her off at home again. She really wanted to go, but not really in a truck or a trailer. Then there was the $6-7 per gallon gas prices! Oops, did we have enough funds? Not really. Also, we were scheduled to travel in convoy with the organizers and friends from our Peninsula Tribe. But we didn’t leave in time, and didn’t catch up with them for a full day. And then there was the tire situation. Larry had two spare tires for the trailer, and a niggle to bring them both, but he left one behind thinking it was silly to bring two. There’s no real place for two, and who needs two anyway? Well… At the end of the very first day, we had a destructive blowout of one tire and the one next to it was also damaged and went flat as he was changing the ruined one… niggles. A niggle is an interesting thing. Quiet. Easy to dismiss. Often inconvenient. And oftentimes absolutely correct. Miracle Hot Springs The next night, we finally caught up with our travel companions at one of our favorite hot springs locations, Miracle Hot Springs in Idaho. We spent a couple of hours playing in the hot springs, had a wonderful evening meal and good sleep. The journey to the land concluded the day after that, and I will tell you more of what happened there in next week’s article and podcast titled “Wind, Sigils, and Lightworkers With Shovels.” It has been quite the adventure! And it is not over yet.
