My art is my life, it is about me. I will use this stimulus to explore once again what I am about. Art has been my healer and revealer. My painting has been a vehicle for me to move into an unknown part of myself and explore. Out of the exploration has come the recognition that my soul calling is to relate with the angel and elemental world of nature that appeared as I painted with my heart. To think about success or failure seems to relate to how I am seen in the world, what others think of my work. That would be living from the outside in and letting the outside determine my value, worth, and success.

I heard one speak, “It is a hard time on the planet earth. There is much sadness and fear. We are called upon in ways that are many and varied to bring balance to the internal structure of the planet, to hold her on a balanced course.

“The emotional bodies of many throughout humanity are so out of balance they are causing a dangerous situation for The Mother. We are asking you and many humans who consciously work with us, to keep your own life in balance and harmony.

REMINDER from Mano: It is important to review some of the earlier teachings to demonstrate the process I had to work through to learn how to communicate. It is my desire that those who read my blog will try it. REMARKS from Barbara: The quote in bold at the end is the first communication Mano ever dictated to me. I was typing an introduction to an art show when all of a sudden my thoughts shifted course and I wrote what I heard. It felt so natural it…

“Everything, absolutely everything, every product in our house, everything that makes up our life, first came from the earth. Food, clothing, cars, houses, telephones, iPods, computers—earth supplied it all.

“One step further, even among those who do recognize that all products and produce come from resources within the earth, few realize that those products and produce are governed by intelligent beings known as elementals.

Before Mano tells his story about when he first met Barbara in a past life, I want to tell my story about when I first met Mano in this life. Mano introduced himself to me the day I moved to the mountain in October 1987. As soon as I had unpacked enough boxes, I was eager to walk to the Amphitheater, which is the sacred space I felt was the reason I had been called to move to Ben Lomond.

As I bring completion to my seventh year of sharing Mano’s story and my first year of writing the Blog, I see Mano has been guiding the sharing to get to this point of bringing the consciousness of the Burning Times to your awareness. I am guessing the lack of response to the last blog was that the information is either uncomfortable, or unfamiliar to the majority of the readers.

I am following Mano’s guidance to share with you that everyone has a Council and that we are never alone. He says it is time to introduce the Burned Woman’s Story before we can move on with the plans he wants to share in ‘His Blog’. So much depends on our healing the enormous collective wound created by the Burning Times, and any fear we might have of speaking to a gnome or angel. I will start by sharing part of Mary Jane’s 5th Blog and then more of my story at the end.

REMINDER from Mano: Those of us in the spiritual realms are multidimensional and are able to track many dimensions at the same time.  REMARKS from Barbara: I love writing this blog. My angels can teach me and give me information that I was not aware of until I open for the stories to share each month. REMEMBERING Mary Jane: The italics are Mary Jane’s putting my stories together for my memoir, Living with the Spirits of the Land. You Are Not Alone Blog #79 This scene has repeated…

REMINDER from Mano: Those in spirit who have committed to work with you wish to communicate. Open your imagination. Visualize them in front of you and ask how this can be done. Pay attention to the thoughts or images that appear. Then do it.  REMARKS from Barbara: I have been taught to pay attention when my body takes a deep involuntary breath. This happens when the Holy Spirit is saying, “truth has just been spoken, or thought.” This gives me a constant awareness that I am never alone,…

REMINDER from Mano: Nature is always aware of your presence. We all wish that you were more aware of us. REMARKS from Barbara: Each morning as I sit with the redwood tree, I now realize that a gentle wind spirit joins me. REMEMBERING Mary Jane: The blog excerpt from 2013 shares how Mano orchestrated Mary Jane’s moving to a house next door to Julie, a woman who had learned, and was teaching people to communicate with wild flowers.All of Mary Jane’s words are written in italics. Nature Communicates…
