				&lt;div&gt;Drunvalo Melchizedek talks about the magnetic pole shift on this clip, but i want you to pay careful attention to something i have said many times over the years and did not find anyone else who agreed with me until now...The Hopis know...&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQdE2lyINVc&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQdE2lyINVc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

				<title>Rise of Shamanism</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/8/31/Rise-of-Shamanism</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;div&gt;Rupert Sheldrake, one of Britain&apos;s most brilliant scientists,&amp;nbsp;speaks briefly on&amp;nbsp;shamanism and&amp;nbsp;you may be surprised with some of the examples of shamans he describes... Unfortunately he never gets around to mentioning Mandy and Jorge. :) Many&amp;nbsp;thanks to my Irish friends for this one...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Click here for a short, but very informative intro to shamanism...&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-lQyGX05hA&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-lQyGX05hA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

				<description>
				
				&lt;div&gt;Since we&apos;re dealing with The Maya now and my last trip to Mayaland following the path of Mandy included a visit to Olmec territory on the way to Merida, capitol of the Yucatan...&amp;nbsp; If you enjoy Indiana Jones kinds of explorations and dissertations, this might be a good read...&amp;nbsp; not sure since i have not read Childress&apos; The Mystery of the Olmecs myself, but he and i share so many common interests in exploration of other cultures.&amp;nbsp; Click here:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O5iA68e5J8&amp;amp;feature=related&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O5iA68e5J8&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

				<title>Shamans of the Amazon</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/3/21/Shamans-of-the-Amazon</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2005 I visited the Peruvian Amazon and during that time was able to visit a tribe that had very little contact with the outside.&amp;nbsp; I was registered as being the second white woman the tribe had met.&amp;nbsp; Our Guide was a brilliant man whose father was a medicine of that tribe and his mother an outsider.&amp;nbsp; He took us into the jungle to view all manner of healing plants and also to a place where rogue loggers were clandestinely clearing out the forest and killing many species then used to heal and cure.&amp;nbsp; These videos are not about that tribe.&amp;nbsp; My videos remain under cover and not exposed to others...&amp;nbsp; Thought you might like to check them out...

				<title>Levitation - Believe it or Not?</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/3/19/Levitation--Believe-it-or-Not</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;One of the most fascinating developments to occur when &apos;writing&apos; Angel of The Maya was to discover my characters flying about and levitating at various times and there was the most unusual cause or method used to do this.&amp;nbsp; Back in the 70s I jokingly, or so i thought then, formed the &amp;quot;International Development of Levitation&amp;quot; and had some of the Steel wonks as members.&amp;nbsp; We would meet on elevators and i would intone &amp;quot;We are about to rise&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;We are about to descend&amp;quot; and everyone would groan and moan and say:&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;ruth&apos;s at it again!&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Well, little did i know then what i know now...or do i?&amp;nbsp; LOL

				<title>Dr. John Jay Harper on Shamanism and 2012</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/3/18/Dr-John-Jay-Harper-on-Shamanism-and-2012</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;Some of you loved George Noory&apos;s interview on Coast-to-Coast&amp;nbsp;AM with Adrian yesterday, so here is more of the same.&amp;nbsp; Tune in at least for the first segment to hear about his background, then i think your mind will let you settle down and listen to the entire conversation. (Several callers are from Western PA)

				<title>The Elders Speak...</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/2/22/The-Elders-Speak</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13.5pt&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;As time draws to a close, it become more important to share loving thoughts with one another, To be kind, for this brings joy to the giver and receiver.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Nellie&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;May you find Your Joy Daily&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Creator, let my thoughts only be good thoughts.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot;Every thing or living being that exists in this world, be it trees, flowers, birds, grasses, rocks, soil of the earth, or human beings, has its unique manner of existence - its essence, its spirit that makes it what it is. That is what is meant by connectedness.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; --Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Scientists are finally realizing what the Elders have taught for thousands of years - everything is connected. Because everything is interconnected, whatever you do to any one thing, you do to everything. If you poison any part of the earth, the poison eventually affects everything else. If you poison the plants, the birds will eat the plants, which poisons the birds. The birds are eaten by humans which poisons the humans. The humans will have babies who could be deformed because the plants were poisoned. We must learn to live in harmony with the earth. We must learn to think good things. Every good thought is felt by everything, which causes everything to be happy.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

				<title>Who was Nicholas Black Elk?</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/2/9/Who-was-Nicholas-Black-Elk</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Everyone (almost) knows of his book, Black Elk Speaks, published in 1932, but do you know anything else about the man??&amp;nbsp;A Facebook friend of mine, Eliza White Buffalo, was trained in spirit by this great shaman; and I want you to be more aware of his work than you might otherwise be.&amp;nbsp;Here is what is easily discovered, and about as accurate as you will find, on the internet now. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;Nicholas Black Elk (1863-1950) was an Oglala Sioux medicine man in the transition period from nomadic to reservation life for his people and then, as an interviewee, a source for Native American tribal traditions and Plains Indian spirituality.

				&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Many thanks to Alannah Ryane who shared her thoughts on Facebook on&amp;hellip;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 9pt&quot;&gt;How to Ascend the Spirit of a Road-Kill&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Another head turning experience and example of coming to full consciousness came to me on my walk back from my meditation when I was standing at a bridge looking at the river.&amp;nbsp; I heard a loud clanging sound about a foot above my head, immediately after that my head turned, again no thought, and I found my eyes immediately resting on a dead raccoon on the railway tracks. I knew in an instant that the clanging I heard was the sound of a bang against the rails.&amp;nbsp; At that same moment I also flashed back to a time where a loud bang like a door slamming shut had awakened me from sleep so that I sat straight up in bed looking at the door. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; font-size: 9pt&quot;&gt;My Cherokee Elder Grandmother Pa&apos;Ris&apos;Ha said it was a good thing&amp;mdash;that I had caught the door to the other side closing behind me as I came back to my body from dreamspeaker&amp;hellip;so for an instant I was in both worlds.

				<title>Wisdom of The Ancestors</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/1/30/Wisdom-of-The-Ancestors</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dr. &amp;nbsp;Lewis Mehl-Madrona, author of &amp;ldquo;Coyote Medicine&amp;rdquo;, practiced medicine in Pittsburgh a few years ago and is holding a workshop in NYC next month. I spotted a few things in his description of the event that may interest you, too&amp;hellip; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;Going beyond the obvious roles that the ancestors played in contributing DNA to our genetic code and building the world in which we live, we believe our ancestors can still enlighten and support us. Most indigenous cultures honor the ancestors. In Asia, families build ancestral shrines. Native Americans and Africans make place at the table for departed ancestors. Mediums purport to communicate with the recently departed.&amp;nbsp;We may also carry the unresolved life patterns of our ancestors. These can be a source of personal discomfort. We re-enact these patterns, unless we consciously address them and heal them.&lt;br /&gt;

				<title>Ecuadorean Ayahuasca Ceremonies</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/1/28/Ecuadorean-Ayahuasca-Ceremonies</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, while working away on my Facebook correspondence, i discovered an interesting friend i never expected to find there.&amp;nbsp; Amazing how it links the world!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What i discovered was a fellow who wants to save the shamans of the world, well actually, he has narrowed it down to Ecuador and most particularly one of the last shamans left in the Ecuadorean Amazon area.&amp;nbsp;Those who traveled with me to Ecuador in 2008 know that there are many shamans alive and working in Ecuador today in the Andean highlands, but according to our new friend, only a couple remain alive in the Amazon jungle area.&amp;nbsp; The rest have been killed or are dying and not being replaced.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Becoming a shaman usually takes an entire lifetime, but nowadays judging by the adventures of Mandy in &amp;quot;Within The Veil: An Adventure in Time&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Angel of The Maya&amp;quot;, there is a way to become a shaman later in life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>Remembering the Elders on Big Mountain</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/1/16/Remembering-the-Elders-on-Big-Mountain</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;As shared on Facebook by Carina Gustafsson&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was sitting by the fire that day in the end of January year 2000, at Camp Anna Mae on Big Mountain, in northeastern Arizona. Her face was thin and full of wrinkles. It was a beautiful face that bore witness of a long life with many experiences. A strand of her silver colored hair, had found its way out from the scarf that covered her head and was tied under her chin, in the way the elderly Dineh women covered their hair. She had put her best clothes on this day; a long skirt and a beautiful deep blue velvet blouse. Around her neck hung many strands of turquoise and coral necklaces, and she carried a silver bracelet on her wrist with the biggest turquoise I have ever seen. She had lived a long life, passed over the age the biilagaanas ( white men ) counted as 100 years, a life that was no doubt filled with both happiness and tragedy.

				<title>Planning the New Year</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/12/29/Planning-the-New-Year</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;All of us are now ready to say good-bye to 2009 and probably not cry or feel sad to see the first decade end.&amp;nbsp;What a fiasco it seemed to be to those who favor peace and what a time of concern for all who want the US to fly and be wise.&amp;nbsp;My work in spirit was so intense at times that I thought I would never be able to work in peace again.&amp;nbsp;We were so very, very close to disaster and I am still stunned that somehow we missed that bullet or asteroid or whatever!&amp;nbsp;How did we do it?&amp;nbsp;I trust that God is working harder than we are to create a better world, and after the events of this past year, I can see proof of that being the case.&amp;nbsp;Thank God we are able to change and dream big once again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;Having asked all of you to name work you want to do on The Blog as well as on your own, I have received a few well-developed thoughts from a few of you.&amp;nbsp;Want to share the great ones here.&amp;nbsp;To start, here is what one who has worked with me many years on materials received from The Ascended Maya or &amp;quot;The Maya&amp;quot; for short has in mind to do this coming year.&amp;nbsp;I am sure you will find much to interest your mind!

				<title>More on Earth?s Energetic Centers</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/10/19/More-on-Earths-Energetic-Centers</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;(Continuation of work begun yesterday)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ENERGETIC CENTERS CONNECT THE EARTH WITH THE HEAVENS&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;AND THE HUMAN WITH THE DIVINE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We know the location of the first Planetary Chakra: it can be found at Machu Picchu, and it covers most of the sacred valley of the Incas.&amp;nbsp;It relates to the first planetary Chakra, called Muladhara or Root Chakra which relates to the element Earth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;The second Chakra relates to Svadhisthana, or Mansion of the Fountain of Life, which is found in the area of Lake Titicaca and throughout a great extension that includes several mountains and part of the valley, arriving at Tiahuanaco or Tiwanaku, which is sacred to the New Age. &amp;nbsp;This Chakra relates to the element Water.

				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;We are favored and blessed to be able to deliver a message here from: Maestro Ajka anbsaj Luis Moreno Balandran that provides advanced plans and explanations of what we as human beings will be seeing and living through in upcoming years.&amp;nbsp; When wisdom is needed, go to the wise--always!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Q&amp;rsquo;AWCHI Raymi, called Kumba Mela during the Age of Pisces, is a spiritual pilgrimage to the magnetic centers or Chakras of the Earth.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;In 1950 the M.S.M. AVATAR Dr.de la Ferriere attended the Kumba Mela in India.&amp;nbsp;The Melas are the annual reunions which still happen in the East, and the Kumba Mela is the Great Reunion of the Water Bearer that occurs every 12 years.
