I have never been a native American “wannabe.” Basically I’m a standard American white guy with a dash of redneck and gypsy, having grown up partially in the southwest and mostly southeastern US, with ancestry from Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). So though I have always admired the native Americans I have met and their culture in general, I have never desired to take their culture for my own. Yet I have had a few inspiring encounters with natives in my lifetime, and recently had another such experience.

Last weekend I hosted an authentic Yaqui Indian sweat lodge and vision quest on my five-acre property in northeast Florida, led by Yaqui Indian Chief Sonne Reyna. The event was life changing according to the 35 people attending, including myself. I had been wanting to do such a ceremony for several years on this land to help heal the legacy of wounds from the past conflicts between natives and European English and Minorcans who fought and died over this land to settle the town of New Smyrna Beach, the largest attempt at colonization of the new world. My property lies on the exact area where wealthy English doctor Andrew Turnbull surveyed and established the new colony, named after his wife’s home town of Smyrna, Greece. About 3/4 of the 1,500 settlers he brought to this area died of malaria, other disease, and battles with local Seminole Indians. A lot of blood was shed and strong painful human emotional energy was released here.

I listened as the Chief explained beforehand to the group that the purpose of the sweat lodge is to not only purify the body, mind, and emotions, but also heal the land and the spirits here. He spoke of the power of women and blood to affect reality and directed any women on their menses to participate by remaining in a “moon” lodge separate from the main lodge. He said four generations before and after each of us would be affected by the ceremony. I could see that to many of the listeners, this sounded like simple native symbology and metaphor, but what I heard was the quantum physics of consciousness and biology.

Ultra high frequency subtle energies such as consciousness (scalar waves), tachyon energy, and zero point energy (energy between subatomic particles of matter) program and store information in — and are transmitted by — water, soil and stone, bone, and blood. Water is a liquid crystal, soil and stone are crystalline minerals, bone is composed of crystalline minerals, and blood contains water, magnetic iron, and DNA — the double-helix antenna within us that connects consciousness to our physical bodies. Crystals are frequency resonators that hold, amplify, and transfer information. If this sounds like New Age nonsense, take a gander at MIT’s video courses on crystallography.

This is also part of the basis for the Asian concept of “Feng Shui” and dowsing. Physical structures, particularly natural ones in the Earth such as water, stone, and metals, affect the organization of energy. Monatomic (ORMUS) minerals in ground water veins also create superconducting “Meisner fields” similar to those found in the human nervous system, specifically at superconducting junctures the Chinese call “acupuncture meridians.” When energy is exposed to water, stone, bone, and blood, they store the frequency information, much like computer memory. The work of Masaru Emoto regarding human consciousness affecting the atomic structure of water is an example of how consciousness can program information into a crystalline material, in this case, water, a liquid crystal:

Native and ancient cultures have described these concepts in terms of spirits, nature, magic, and other shamanistic ideas. In speaking with Chief Reyna, we both held similar views of what the sweat lodge and vision quest ceremonies were about, using different language. When we sweated profusely upon the ground, we homeopathically treated the water and crystals in the ground with our own individual and collective frequencies. The women who shed blood onto the ground did so as well. Rains will wash those frequencies further into the soil, and roots of plants and fungi (mycelium) in the ground. Mycelium are widespread incredibly dense and expansive networks of fungi roots that can span many miles. One cubic inch of soil can contain 300 miles of mycelium, an associative neural network carrier of information structured much like the Internet, according to the book Mycelium Running. The scalar fields of our consciousness and the sounds of our singing and language also influenced the soil and water, and sent thought forms into the quantum field to possibly slow down into tachyon energy and solidify into physical manifestation. The lodge was built in the middle of an island, surrounded by brackish water where the fresh water streams meet the ocean’s salt water. The creek connects with the Atlantic ocean a few miles away. Chief Reyna said the lodge was the Earth’s womb, rebirthing us when we came out of the lodge. As I sat in the lodge, I saw a vision of the scene overhead, the womb on the belly of the island, surrounded by water leading down a meandering birth canal out to the ocean due west of us at Ponce Inlet, the vagina. To top it off, I know this inlet and the island are on a paramagnetic ley line that extends from the Bahamas.

Simply put, we held an exercise using consciousness to heal a wounded place in time and space, create new future realities for ourselves, and affect the world. I could see that many of the participants could not see how they had such power to alter themselves, the land, and the world by a ceremony like this. When I explained it in terms of quantum physics, they seemed to grasp it better. This is the power we have been separated from, it is what we need to return to, and we do not need to understand how it works, only that it does.
