“We are truly real. We are not a figment of your mind. Your mind has had to be developed and fine tuned to be able to do this work. Your mind is the instrument. We are the teachers. Please, please stay open, stay present, stay real.” – Mano to Barbara, 2001
Mano wants to continue sharing what he and the Council had orchestrated to prepare me for the role of Woman on the Mountain. He started preparing me 25 years before we ever met. Mary Jane named it clearly when she named it a ‘Becoming,’ which started 25 years before I ever moved to the Mountain.
This morning, March 2019, while adventuring into writing my first blog, Mano told me the Council always wanted me to do the writing of this blog. When they saw that I was not going to do it, they went to ‘Plan B’ and asked Mary Jane to take over creating the blog in collaboration with Mano and Barbara. This allowed Mary Jane’s guiding spirits to move forward with their own guidance of her life. At the time when Mary Jane heard the message she was determined to receive, yet did not follow the guidance to go home to connect with the spirits on the land where she was living, her guiding spirits realized that their ‘Plan A’ for Mary Jane was not going to work and so they moved to ‘Plan B’ to expand her own experience of nature through collaborating on the Council of Gnomes Blog with Mano and Barbara.
REMINDER from Mano: Each time you step outside and feel the fresh air, say hello to the air elementals; greet the fire elemental when you feel the warmth of the sun, and the earth and water elementals in the plants and ground under your feet. REMARKS from Barbara: As I integrate my writing style with Mary Jane’s writing I got the funny thought, my style is like mashed potatoes while Mary Jane’s style is like a lovely French soufflé. REMEMBERING Mary Jane: As I build a new story…
REMINDER from Mano: In a body or out of a body, life goes on forever. REMARKS from Barbara: The next blog will begin the review and reminders of earlier blogs, sharing teachings from Mano and experiences orchestrated by the Council. REMEMBERING Mary Jane: Today I share Mary Jane’s final blog. From Mary Jane: June 2018 The Arbor Day tree walk with a small group of TreeSisters (see last month’s blog), turned out to be a pivotal touchstone for me. We visited six trees in Nevada City’s downtown area.…

A Spiritual Memoir Request from Mano: “We can no longer go on alone. We are in deep need of the nourishment we receive from interacting with the human kingdom and you are in deep need of us to sustain your lives by interacting with nature.” Barbara Thomas has, for many years, been a faithful and dedicated liaison between worlds—the worlds of angels, nature spirits, and humans. Her journey of becoming, as told in this spiritual memoir, involves an impressive number of teachers and guides, trainings and awakenings, pilgrimages…
Barbara & Robin’s focus was to anchor the energy of the Divine Feminine through their art as a blessing to the earth.
Reminder from Mano: Speak to the trees as you walk; touch them and tell them they are beautiful. Your speaking and expecting an answer is of enormous assistance in helping the nature spirits relate with a conscious human being. From Mary Jane In the February 2017 blog, Moving Beyond Mind, I wrote about an experience with Clare Dubois, founder of TreeSisters, in which she led a film festival “coffee talk” group to a high energy space of heart. I have held that guided meditation as an example; “This…
Reminder from Mano: We have all come to be on the planet in this time. Human beings, though they have a physical body, have souls sourced in the stars. They have a contribution to make toward healing the planet, and this means remembering to live from original divine source. Recently I received a bright early morning email from Barbara telling me that as she was reading through her intentions for the week, she received a nudge from Mano suggesting that she send this one on to me: “Break…
