TRAVELS AND TREASURES 10 ... LEFT IN THE RAINFOREST ...


The changes that we are experiencing 
more intensely than ever before are
providing a diversity of options to choose from ...
New choices made from a different level of self love,
from a higher level of self worth.
We know what we have been through and experienced already,
what we don't know is where it will take us if 
we choose a new direction of life.
What will the experiences be,
what challenges will we be faced with ...?

It is almost like living in the shadow of fear,
making choices from no self love and no self worth,
separated from the Divine Self totally alone.
The difference though is that all is lit,
by the light we have found at the end of the tunnel ...
All is happening very fast, every single choice matters,
we know that we matter finally,
because we have discovered that we too belong,
we have become aware of the Love that we are
and the wholeness and self worth that comes with this remembering.

Shifting gear from living in fear and separated
to allowing ourselves to be part of All That Is again,
allowing ourselves to be seen and heard,
allowing ourselves to love and be loved,
replacing old belief systems with new ones that we ourselves choose
without fear of being rejected, 
without fear of loosing friends and family and jobs ...
reminds me of the most scary, fun, exciting experience
I had during my adventures in the Brazilian rain forest.

One Saturday afternoon ...
my native Brazilian friend and a Peruvian new found friend
 and I heard that there was
a local festivity with crazy Brazilian dancing 
 in the rain forest somewhere ...
We saw a few beat up trucks loading people 
onto the back of the trucks and drove away 
disappearing into the jungle. 
We looked at each other and nodded our heads,
oh yeah ... lets go and ask if they take us with
when they return,  you never know with locals, 
rejected or allowed in ...

We got on the last truck and all of us were hanging
onto it with our finger nails to not fall off the truck 
in the middle of nowhere ... 
We were unloaded in an open spot surrounded by rain forest
with a wooden dance floor built in the center and 
locals serving their strong liquids from the special trees and
food stands kept by the older generation providing hand food
for the drunken and dancers.

The music was beyond awesome,
the dancing crazy good and entertaining ...
Time flew and suddenly we discovered it was two in the morning.
Only a scattered number of people left so we ran up to 
the last truck and asked for a ride ... even though it seemed packed.
NO! I'll come back and get the rest of you ...
I could see a subtle grin on the driver's face and sure enough
he never returned ...

My natural travel instincts scanned 
the rest of the people on the grounds
before the lights around the dance floor were turned off ...
The three of us were the only women there!!
When the lights were gone it turned dark, like dark dark!!! 
so dark that you couldn't even see your hands in front of you
only the sounds from the other left behind guys around us
and our own breathing.

The magical star-lit skies gave some shady light
and we decided to follow the only existing road
hoping that we would arrive somewhere in one piece.
The road was only visible
 as a darker aspect of to the rest of the darkness. 
The trees were so high around us 
so the light from the stars could not really find its way down
to the vegetation around us, 
we had to feel the difference and touch our way forward,
 dirt ... brush ... dirt ... brush 

Two young local guys that also had been left behind
were so scared and lost so they asked if they could join us.
Local guys showing that much fear told me that maybe my ears needed
to be re-calibrated to danger level allert.
We started walking holding each other's hands 
to not loose one-another in the pitch dark night.
We could hear the sounds from the rain forest and the predators
hissing and purring and moving the vegetation around us.

Suddenly I noticed the shadows of three heads
following us a couple of hundred yards behind us ... 
We started changing pace, running, walking slow
and the shadows did the same, they were definitely following us.
When we stopped they stopped, when we moved they moved.
All the shows on TV went through my head and
all the skills I had learned in karate and all the muscle strength
I had developed during my years of training in gyms 
would come in handy and I had my travel knife with me as always.

We made a plan and I stated that if we're going down
somebody else has to join us and we'll all feed 
the predators in the rain forest around us.
The worst part was that I was the only one staying somewhat calm,
all the locals were freaking out in terror.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss ... 
I did not fully know what could attack us from the side of the road.
I was more worried about possible human predators ...
Our focus shifted away from the animal life
to the possibility of being sliced dead by the men behind us.
People disappear in the jungles ... 
human predators looking for human pray. 

We were all trying to be super silent but
you all know what happens when everybody is scared to death 
and trying to stay cool and silent ... we all started laughing hysterically.
Our situation was really out of the ordinary crazy!
Because of our nervous laughter that we could not(!) stop,
my indigenous native friend needed to "go to the toilet,"
and hear and behold, she, who grew up in the rain forest,
ran out into the brush next to the road and separated herself
from the group ... to not be seen(!) peeing.
I jumped in after her and asked her if she could see her hand
or were she was lowering her behind?!?
I can't see you there, and you can't see us so
come back up on the road, follow my sound ...
we ended up all having to take a leak,
 so nobody would hear her splashing her liquids around.
The laughter just got out of hand ...
Shame is a curse!!!

As a result of this united toilet experience with strangers
 in the rain forest surrounded by imagined monsters
we were crawling on the road and
crying from laughter, looking at the magical stars
glancing back at our shadows following us, 
coming closer and closer ...
We had no clue what time it was and where we were,
except that we kept holding each other's hands firmly
so nobody would get lost in the darkness.
Strangers in the night uniting in fear of the unknown,
 keeping an eye on the shadows behind us.
We kind of surrendered to the fact that we could just follow
our instincts and senses and enjoy the stars in the skies and
hope for the best of miracles to guide us safely.
At least we would die laughing if it came down to that.

Suddenly the sun started rising and our adventurous journey
was illuminated by the beginning of another day.
Our Shadows came running up to us from behind,
 when they could see us and 
started hysterically sharing their fear story ...

These guys were also locals in their thirties, 
scared senseless by the stories
about the rain forest and its predators and human villains
and the darkness and the monsters in it, that 
their families and ancestors had told them.
When they had realized that they were abandoned and
left behind to their own they devices,
they decided to follow the shadows
of our heads and silhouettes in the dark ...
even though they were scared senseless of who we might be.
They assumed we were villains so they wanted us in front of them
to keep us under surveillance to feel safe.

They decided to stay on a safe distance from us ... 
as long as they could see us in front of them, 
way in a distance, they felt safe.
They had been counting our heads the whole walk,
so when my friend went to "her toilet" and I disappeared to go get her
they thought we were on our way to get them so they hid
by the side of the road ready to attack us.
They didn't crawl up on the road until they could count that 
all our heads were back together again.

We arrived in our little village at eight in the morning
ready for a delicious breakfast to the sound of the roosters 
making their calls out that it was time for a new day in paradise.
People sweeping the streets,
families going down to the amazon river to take their morning bath,
washing each others bodies with clothes on ... all in one.
All was like every other morning and nobody
knew about our nightly adventures
chasing and running away from imagined 
scary monsters and silhouettes 
in the darkness of the night.

I have never had so much fun in one night
as I had that night ...
a true adventure filled with fear and laughter and
stories to be told by everyone involved ...
all different stories perceived from different perspectives of 
the same event and the same people.

with Love and Peace,

TRAPPED IN A FISHING NET

A TRUE STORY
REFLECTING THE FEELING SENSATIONS
OF THE CHANGE FROM
OPPRESSION INTO FREEDOM
IS ABOUT THE HUMPBACK WHALE THAT WAS FREED.

It touched me through the feelings
I experienced watching the video and the dance of freedom the whale 
provided as gratitude for the help and the freedom received ...

This big and beautiful humpback whale
was drowning in its own element, the ocean ...
Some people discovered this big body, seemingly lifeless floating 
in the water, just showing the top of its back above the surface.

The humans put on their snorkeling gear and swam closer
and discovered that the whale was still alive
because it suddenly pushed its nostrils above water and
with great effort managed to breathe a quick heavy breath.

The people swam even closer and discovered
that the whale was entangled in a fishing net.
Trying to free itself it got itself more and more entangled and
tighter and tighter wrapped inside the fishing net.
The fins and the tail locked in and stuck in the loops of the net
hindering any movement or swimming ...

The guys had a knife in their rowing boat and
they started carefully one string and one loop at a time 
to cut away what was drowning this beautiful ocean being.
Eventually after much patience and thorough efficient cutting
they had parts of the fins free so they could get hold of 
the main thread of the wrap that threatened to kill the whale.

They were gradually able to get the whale alongside the boat
and all together with common efforts and focus
they managed to cut and slide the strongest part of the holding grip 
around the whale loose and the humpback could feel
the tight grip around it dissolve. 

The Beautiful Grandiose Whale was able to slide out 
from the killer trap that almost dragged it down and drowned it.
It took the people over an hour to free this beautiful being,
but the rewards they received from the humpback whale 
were sacred ... it danced and flipped and waved its fins
entertaining in gratitude for over an hour.
I could feel its Joy and Excitement 
being Free to play and dance and express itself the way it wanted!

 The fishing net that people carelessly had anchored in the ocean,
 while they did not have the awareness to secure it to home base
they created a set of circumstances and altered the purpose ... 
instead of being a fishing net capturing food for family and friends
they created a deadly trap for another being ...

*********

This is how I see the life in fear and darkness 
that we agreed to explore on earth.
We were matured into form in a womb of water and through 
a canal we were born and caught in a fishing net
of structures and beliefs and definitions,
that were already made up for us.
That we had agreed on on a soul level;
agreements that we had forget to 
be able to fulfill and complete our soul theme on earth ...

Rules and regulations colored by lineages of humans
living in belief systems of terror and fear for thousands of years,
disconnected from their true selves and in fear of death and
the believed judgment from a  god ready to punish ...

Birth ...
We're entering our root family in "good faith" 
believing that we are going to be loved unconditionally,
not remembering our soul agreements
 that we are here to experience darkness,
and separation and feeling unloved and then shift it back to origin.
We would not be able to have our full experiences if we
remembered our true selves ...
Because if we did remember who we truly are 
we would know that this is all an illusion,
and all the fears and darkness we came here to 
learn and heal from 
would not be able to be taken seriously and perceived as "real."
there would be nothing to let go of ...
and we would not be able to learn and claim our wisdom.

As we grow older all the defined perceptions we were taught
and all the lies (fishing net) we were given, 
become our misconceived truth, 
creating the foundation for our stolen self expression and 
we are convinced that "the fishing nets" represent the truth.
We may rebel, we may recent, but at the end of the day
we agree out of fear that it must be the truth because
that's all we perceive.

The older we get the tighter the fishing net of 
negative beliefs and definitions wrap itself around us.
We feel more and more unhappy and submissively 
agreeable at the same time angry and sad
about the conditions and circumstances of our life,
doubting our power to change and shift ...
We smile and participate masking that
there is a feeling of loss crying out for the truth deep within ...

We are too scared of not being accepted 
and validated by the outside if we choose 
change before staying the same.
We choose to live submissively agreeing to live
what others expect from us rather than stand in our truth.
We choose to disregard our own truth to fit in ...
so we live a lie, 
we lie to ourselves and we lie to others ...

We try to swim in the ocean of life with 
our fins trapped, suffocating from lack of oxygen,
frozen and imprisoned in the web of belief systems,
that we conveniently choose to agree with so we don't 
have to be seen and heard in our own truthful self expression.

The resistance that we refuse to let go of to be able to change
manifests in our bodies as pain ...
Relax and soften your strength and 
you will slide out of the net that is holding you captured.
Allow life to show you its Magic!

with Love and Peace,
Morayah

HONESTY ... THERE IS NO OTHER WAY OUT ...

ALLOWING COMPLETE AND UTTER HONESTY WITH SELF
TO BE THE SOLE GUIDE TO DISCOVER ALL
THE SELF DIMINISHING BELIEF SYSTEMS,
THAT WE HAVE RELIED/RELY ON 
TO JUSTIFY OUR WAY OF LIFE
IS THE WAY WE TRANSFORM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT.

THE BELIEF SYSTEMS THAT KEEP REINFORCING (STILL)
THAT LIFE IS A PROCESS OF STRUGGLES AND HARDSHIP
 CHALLENGING US TO 
CONTINUE BELIEVING THAT SO IT IS ...
 OR !!!
WE CAN CHOOSE TO OPEN THE DOORS AND EMBRACE
 THE OPPORTUNITIES WE ARE GIVEN IN A CONSTANT FLOW
TO END THE SAGA OF BELIEVING THAT IT IS ...

WE REINFORCE OUR STRUGGLES BY 
RESISTING CHANGE AND THUS CAUSE PAIN 
IN OUR PHYSICAL BODIES ...

WE HAVE TO SEE AND KNOW BOTH ENDS OF THE POLE,
BOTH THE DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT
TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE GRACEFULLY AND HARMONIOUSLY 
OUR PREFERRED CHOICE OF LIFE ... 

DO YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE?? ...

THAT YOUR PERCEPTIONS OF YOUR LIFE
THAT YOU CALL REAL IS THE TRUTH ... ?
AND THAT YOUR DREAMS ARE A BUNCH OF LIES
THAT GIVE YOU A BREAK FROM REALITY AND
 DISTRACT YOU FOR A MOMENT FROM WHAT YOU DEFINE 
AS THE TRUE STRUGGLE OF EARTH LIFE?
ARE YOU DEFINING YOUR DREAMS AS
YOUR HOBBY OR YOUR WAY OF LIFE?!

OR ...

DO YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE?? 

THAT YOUR DREAMS ARE THE TRUTH AND
A SACRED SELF REFLECTION OF THE TRUE YOU AND
THAT WHICH YOU WERE TAUGHT 
AND HAVE CALLED YOUR SO CALLED REALITY ON EARTH,
IS JUST BASED ON A BUNCH OF LIES THAT HAVE KEPT YOU FROM 
NOT LIVING YOUR TRUTH.
LIVING THE LIES YOU WERE GIVEN TO CREATE YOUR LIFE FROM,
LIES THAT REFLECT WHAT FEAR-FILLED HUMANS 
SOLELY KNOW AND KNEW TO BE THE ONLY TRUTH.

HONESTLY?!?
DO YOU LIVE YOUR PASSION?
DO YOU LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE?
DO YOU LIVE AND FOLLOW YOUR HIGHEST INSPIRATION?
DO YOU ALLOW YOUR DREAMS TO MANIFEST AND 
BE YOUR SOUL/SELF EXPRESSION OF CHOICE??

IF YOU DO ... 
GRATEFUL KUDOS TO YOU!!!
YOU ARE THE MOST SACRED PERMISSION-SLIP TO US ALL 
REFLECTING THE SUCCESSES THAT FOLLOW 
IN OUR FOOT STEPS, WHEN WE 
CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN AND FOLLOW OUR DREAMS!!!

IF YOU DON'T ... 
GRATEFUL KUDOS TO YOU!!!
YOU ARE THE GREATEST PERMISSION-SLIP FOR US ALL
TO FIND CLARITY AND HEALING WITHIN THE DEFINITIONS
WE HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE BY AND BELIEVE TO BE TRUE, 
THAT DON'T ALLOW US TO BE ALL THAT WE ARE!!!

YOU ARE SACRED AND PERFECT THE WAY YOU ARE ...
CHOOSE WHO YOU PREFER TO BE FROM SELF LOVE!
GIVE YOURSELF THE PERMISSION TO BE ALL YOU!

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR DREAMS ARE LIES
ASK YOURSELF HONESTLY
WHY?!? 
YOU CHOOSE TO KEEP THE BELIEF SYSTEMS THAT
BLOCK AND REJECT ANY FORM OF FLOW OF ASSISTANCE
TO MANIFEST AND REALIZE 
THE PHYSICAL LIFE EXPERIENCES THAT ARE CREATED
FROM ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY AND SELF LOVE
ALLOWING!! 
SUCCESSFUL REINFORCEMENT OF POSITIVE BELIEFS
TO REPLACE THAT WHICH HAS BEEN,
REINFORCEMENT OF NEGATIVE BELIEF SYSTEMS.

WHEN WE BELIEVE THAT OUR DREAMS ARE LIES,
WE MAKE OURSELVES BELIEVE THAT
WE WILL ONLY EXPERIENCE STRUGGLE 
PURSUING THEM AND THAT WE WILL PROBABLY FAIL,
DEPLETING AND DEPRIVING OURSELVES ...
WE MAY BELIEVE THAT
THEY WILL NEVER SUPPORT US AND PROVIDE US WITH 
ABUNDANCE AND FUN ADVENTURES AND
 THUS WE WILL NEVER ALLOW THEM TO REALIZE
OUT OF FEAR FOR DISASTER AND LOSS ...

DID YOU EVER LEARN AND ACCEPT THE BELIEF
THAT YOU NEED TO WORK TO SURVIVE FIRST AND
THEN IF YOU HAVE TIME OVER YOU CAN DREAM,
AT THE MOST YOUR DREAMS COULD EVOLVE INTO A HOBBY ... 

YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY MOMENT TO
TAKE BACK YOU POWER AND RELEASE THE ANGER
FOR HAVING "WASTED" ALL YOUR ENERGY ON SUCH LIES,
THAT DON'T SERVE YOUR HIGHEST SELF ...
AS YOU RELEASE KEEP ALL THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE
YOU HAVE LEARNED WHILE LIVING YOUR LIES OF CHOICE.

WE HAVE LEARNED TO PERCEIVE THE DIFFERENCE 
BETWEEN THE CREATIONS IN DARKNESS
AND THE LIGHT THEY REVEAL 
AS WE MOVE THROUGH OUR FEARS ...

FOR LIES TO WORK WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THEY ARE TRUE!

IF SOMEBODY TELLS YOU A LIE
AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN IT ...
IT WON'T HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE!
AS SOON AS YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THE LIE ...
YOU WILL CHOOSE TO CREATE A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE ...

NEUTRALIZE!! 
ALL THE HUMANS / SITUATIONS / CIRCUMSTANCES
THAT PROVOKE YOU TO REACT
BECAUSE OF YOUR FILTERS OF BELIEFS!
WE CAN CHOOSE TO SEE THE GIFTS OF LOVE AND LIGHT 
WITHIN ALL THE EXPERIENCES WE HAVE 
AND THE HEALING THEY PROVIDE IF 
WE CHANGE OUR PERSPECTIVE!
IT IS LIKE TURNING A CAMERA LENSE TO SEE CLEARLY.

ALL IS A PURE REFLECTION OF YOU, 
THERE IS NOBODY ELSE BUT YOU, TO BE PERCEIVED BY YOU, 
IN YOUR CHOICE OF EARTH REALITY ...

I MAY PERCEIVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT REALITY
OF THE SAME REALITY
IF WE MET ON THE STREET AS STRANGERS
 BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERENT "FILTERS"...
DIFFERENT BELIEF SYSTEMS WE CHOOSE TO LEARN FROM. 
WE SEE THE SAME THING 
BUT FROM TWO DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.

WE CAN CHOOSE ANY TIME - ANY MOMENT
TO LEARN WHAT WE INTENDED TO LEARN 
FROM OUR EXPERIENCE AND 
THEN ACT AND MAKE CHOICES FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE ...

THE POWERFUL PERMISSION SLIPS OF
MARS, AND PLUTO, AND JUPITER, AND URANUS, AND VENUS,
THE SUN, AND THE MOON ETC
ALL OUR CELESTIAL ALLIES IN THE SKIES 
AND ALL OUR UNSEEN FRIENDS AND PEERS
ARE PROVIDING US WITH SURGES OF ENERGY 
TO HELP AND ASSIST US IN 
TAKING BACK OUR POWER FROM THAT WHICH
WE HAVE BELIEVED TO BE THE TRUTH ...
 THAT WE HAVE CONVINCED OURSELVES TO BELIEVE IN,
 THE DEFINITIONS OF YOU AND I AND ALL,
THAT WE WERE GIVEN.

WHAT LABELS HAVE YOU LABELLED YOURSELF
AND YOUR WORLD WITH??!!
WHAT JUDGEMENTS?.
DO YOU NEED TO BE VALIDATED TO FEEL GOOD?,
OR IS YOUR SELF WORTH INTACT 
WITHOUT OUTSIDE VALIDATION?. 

BE BRUTALLY AND LOVINGLY HONEST
EXAMINING WHAT BELIEF SYSTEMS CREATE YOUR WORLDS!
MAKE YOUR CHOICES WHAT TO KEEP AND 
WHAT TO LET GO OF ...
YOUR PREFERRED LIFE IS YOUR SCHOOL OF CHOICE.
HAVE FUN AND ENJOY
BECAUSE IT IS AN ADVENTURE OF LOVE!

with Peace and Love,
Morayah
