INTRODUCTION
The
naming of a clan is a very sacred process. It is not dictated by the
creativity alone of the facilitator, but is rather more of a download of information that best represents the existing energy
of the group as a whole. Through intuition, meditation, inspiration,
imagination, observation and deep listening the clan is named, not by a
human, but through a human by the unseen energy source that connects us
all one to another.
We are but reflections of one another, until we are
reflecting only what is inside of our heart of hearts from our purest
essence. And we will then each be one to another the most persistent of
reminders of the greatness that lies within each of us. For it is then that we are
projecting the most essential part of our highest and finest selves
from the very core of our being. And so it is wise to pay attention to
everything and everyone that comes into your space. Let no blessing go unnoticed and no message go
unheard. Be not fooled by the wrapping paper on the gift or the cover on
the book.
And so with this, we have the
naming of this Addiction Alchemy tribe:

"You cannot
solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must
learn to see the world anew." ~ Albert Einstein
In Shamanism, the skill of Shapeshifting is quite literal. Medicine Men
and Women, so in league with their Spirit Allies and Totem could seem to
change form. Scouts and hunters could also become invisible and blend
into the environment to avoid detection by their prey or their enemies.
Grandfather Nicholas Black, Crazy Horse and others were masters of the
Ghost Dance, becoming invincible in battle and times of need, as they
would slip into their Spirit form and become cloaked to those
bound by time and space. Masters of the Far East can wormhole and
bi-locate from city to city in the blink of an eye.
“The
warrior knows that intuition is God's language and he continued
listening to the wind and talking to the stars.”
― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light
These are just some of the skills of the Shafeshifter that can be
adapted to modern life, and brought into new dimensions of expression.
To some people these types of skills seem unreal, too fantastical and
out of the ordinary. Perhaps mostly because humanity as a whole has been
taken inward, and these skills as brought to us through the indigenous
cultures were grounded in the physical, though fantastic they may be.
But there are other ways that the skills of Shapeshifting can transform,
enrich and empower our lives.
For example, if you wrote a book,
created a website or produced a podcast, you would essentially be
bi-locating... potentially hundreds and millions of times... as many
others would be reading your words, hearing your voice, viewing your art
or your music, connecting with your energy at the same time. The high
vibration of technology has bent down the Tree of Life... making the art
of Shapeshifting available to us all!
“A warrior of
the light is always committed. He is the slave of his dream and free to
act.”
― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light
One of the most powerful ways to
embrace the Shapeshifter is through journeying and astral travel. As we
bring back powerful visions, even snippets of information from these
realms can be a catalyst for tremendous change. It is like bringing a
tweak into the blueprint of your life from the source level. This opens
up channels and doorways for miraculous change, that can look like new
health habits, a desire to eat more nutrient rich foods, to get out more
in nature, to walk on the earth and roam, to travel to other parts of
the world, to create from your heart, to open your heart to more love, a
new career or a new attitude.. to do what you could not or would not let
yourself do. Any one of these things can start the process of
Shapeshifting into our lives... from a change in our body, to a change
of address... to a change of career!
"It's not what
you are looking at, it's what do you see?"
"The Shamanic art of Shapeshifting
involves the use of the spirit or body of an animal to protect, to heal,
to cure, to teach, or in some way to benefit others. Other perspectives
on shapeshifters include merging with our spirit totem, animal spirit,
or "non-human" spirit self in order to do some "work" that we cannot do
in human form. Some healers put away the limits of their human self and
step into their formless or shapeless selves. This is more of a way to
move into the most sacred aspects of "self" in order to release "ego" to
divine will.
Shape shifting is alive and well today, right here in our own society.
You don't believe it? Well, the next time you are going somewhere, look
in the mirror. Are you not putting your best foot forward before
stepping outside?
Few words are more exciting in American Indian culture than Shapeshifter.
Both mysterious and illusive, the mind is challenged to know more about
this phenomenon which has occurred through all the tribes in America.
Shape shifting touches the very soul of the Indian. Brothers in nature,
it is quite natural for him to feel as one with the spirit animal sounds
in his chanting, just as he feels Earth Mother's heartbeat in his
drumming.
In the dance, he wears feathers or the skin of his animal guardian,
while his movements take on the grace and form of the eagle, wolf, bear,
etc., whichever one he himself has become. The dance is shape shifting
in its most eloquent form.
In some tribes, shamans use shape shifting in a more serious manner.
Wearing feathers, or the hide of his guardian spirit, the shaman would
perform the animal's actions to imbue its healing powers in both himself
and the patient. Belief in the healer and his shape shifting often could
mean the difference between life or death. So convincing were the
shaman's performances, that sometimes an enemy would go out into the
woods and kill the shaman's totem animal in the belief that he might be
killing the shaman himself while he was in animal form.
A form of shape shifting had a role in hunting. To hone this skill, in
days gone by, the boy Indian would choose an animal to study. It was
usually the wolf, noted for its cunning and survival skills. For as many
as two years, the boy would devote time each day to be alone, near the
wolf, observing its ways. In time, he learned to imitate its ways, and
understood its thinking so well he could become the wolf himself.
So close was this relationship between animal and man that early
settlers came to believe that Indians actually were part wolf and killed
them as they would the animal itself.
Shape shifting to his wolf counterpart was an asset to the Indian in
warfare. His ability to silently track an enemy was often superior to an
enemy's gun. In actual battle, calling on one's spirit animal, and
becoming that animal, gave a warrior uncanny OHITIKA (courage) in the
face of unbelievable odds." - Dawn Eagle
The shadow side of the
ShapeShifter occurs when we do not understand the positive uses and the
reality of shapeshifting itself. When we do not allow ourselves to
change and grow, to take a new form, both physically and metaphorically
speaking we stunt our growth. We remain locked into the status quo...
and our soul must come stalking us. We can use our ShapeShifting
abilities to truly affect change in our lives.
“Every
Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle. Every Warrior
of the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.
Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his. Every
Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons. Every
Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed that he was not a
Warrior of the Light. Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his
spiritual duties. Every Warrior of the Light has said “yes” when he
wanted to say “no.” Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he
loved.”
― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light

SAYS…
I will help you move that energy. I will help you take that dimensional
leap. I will help you uplevel your life. But first you must ask me with
your free will. I am not a replacement for the essence of who you are. I
am here to serve your soul, to help you accomplish your mission, to
deliver power, medicine and energy so that you can become the fullest
version of your highest Self.
“Your hand is
small, yet it can completely cover the power, light and majesty of the
great sun. In the same way, the small problems manage to give you the
excuse you need in order to hinder your progress along your spiritual
journey.”
― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light
You are of the Blue Ray, and you
come forth through this channel and through your own ancient memories
with the Star Knowledge of Sirius. This knowledge involves your latent
skills of ShapeShifting and morphogenesis. The truth is that you are
already a master at this. It's how you got here on earth. But as a Blue
Ray, or Blue Star person you carry special encoding, that is not only to
be used for your own personal benefit. In fact, barely have you been
able to do so for yourself, and your directives urge you to consider the
whole before you consider your own needs. But you have turned a corner
in your evolution, even as Blue Star people of the Earth.
“I slept and
dreamt that life was joy/ I awoke and saw that life was service/I acted
and behold, service was joy.” - Tagore
Enough of you have come online,
have come out of stasis that you remember who you are. You are
remembering that you are like the imaginal cells of humanity and carry
within you the blueprint for Shamballa. You are here to download the
memory of Paradise, the Garden of Eden, and restore that memory here on
earth, into the physical reality. You are among the first to pass
through the flaming cherubim and re-enter the garden. For a while, some
of you have lived at the edge of the Garden just inside the gate. But as
more of you come through, there is now a desire to move deeper into the
Garden.
"If he waits
for the ideal moment, he will never set of; he requires a touch of
madness to take the next step.”
― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light
It is important that you go all
the way in now. Of course you did not want to go all the way in without
your people. For entry into the garden would have been gained by your
oneness, by your re-unification with the whole. You are reminded now to
take that oneness truly to heart and know that when you allow yourself
to become fully immersed in Shamballa consciousness, that you are not
leaving anyone behind, that in fact you must embrace this to anchor it
into the reality, so that others can, too!
“- Oscar Wilde
said that we always destroy the thing we love the most. And it is true.
The simple possibility of achieving that which we desire causes the soul
of the common man to be filled with guilt. He looks around, and sees
many others who have not succeeded, and so he thinks he does not deserve
it. He forgets everything he overcame, all he suffered, everything he
had to renounce in order to come this far. I know many people who, when
they are within reach of their Personal Legend, make a series of silly
mistakes and do not attain their objective - when it was just one step
away.” ― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light
Now is the time. Continue to
awaken... perfect health, creative flow, open hearted, honest
communication, collaboration, socially conscious business, love and joy... community...a new standard
of life here on earth is now possible. Let us go far, as we go together.
“If he has the
courage to unearth his dreams, he then faces a second obstacle: love. He
now knows what he desires to do, but he thinks he will harm those around
him, if he gives everything up to follow his dreams. He does not
understand that love is an additional impulse, not something which
hinders one from going forward. He does not understand that those who
truly wish him well are longing for his happiness, and are ready to
accompany him on this adventure.” ― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the
Light
