I feel I can offer a wee bit of reflection to the response to the first question regarding shadow intervention. I am not sure exactly what it means however my experience while traveling along the California coastal line may be relative to it. I stopped at the beach in Santa Cruz and walked along the water barefoot listening. I noticed the crash of the waves, the call of the birds, the howl of the wind and the clanking of the stones and shells as the water churned them. Underneath all of that I noticed a hum. I listened for awhile and felt it was not at all natural. It felt mechanical. The moon came to mind but it seemed like something different. I tucked that information away and continued my trip. It rained the entire time I was traveling. Cold and Windy. I stopped at Mount Shasta. It was cloudy and gloomy so I did not get to see this massive volcano. Literally could not see it through the fog from 5 miles away. However, I sat with its massive presence and all through the evening I could here a strange mechanical hum. I opened the doors and windows to listen. I turned off the heater in my room. I decided it was coming from the mountain. It was similar to what I heard from the ocean. The presence of the volcano seemed to be in a constricted slumber or suppression. I could feel this boxed energy around her. So heavy. I am not up to engaging such things by myself yet, but I did acknowledge her. My thoughts to her, "Give me some time to gather courage, I will be back". The work we did in Sydney helped me see a bigger picture of field work. The whole trip was cold, dark and strange. I wanted it to be this beautiful outing into this wild part of the world. Quite the opposite. I feel I explored what is really going on. There are an entire array of volcanos along the western coast. From what I understand on a clear day you can see all of them. I have heard it called, in other circles, as the backbone of the dragon, which was my allure to the area. Any thoughts?
