Are You a Good Ancaster?
Creating Conscious Connection
Ashe
(“Ah-Shay”)
The Creative in me honors the Creative in you!
Ancestors are important. They have passed down genes and beliefs and expectations that we have responded to, knowingly and unknowingly, all our lives. In ceremony, we honor our ancestors. We offer gratitude for their wisdom and their insights and their continued guidance. I stopped to think and ask myself what kind of an ancestor am I? We have a responsibility to leave a strong legacy.
There are three things we can actively do to be a good ancestor – take care of the present, leave wisdom for the future, and continue to raise the vibration of the collective awareness.
As future ancestors, we must take care of the present
When we rises above survival mode, we are aware that we need to take steps to preserve things for the future. Like the environment. We need to make the world safe for people to be in and grow up in and work in and live in. We need to be creative and inventive and protective of all that is.
As good ancestors, we are to leave wisdom for the future.
We get to invent new ways of doing things. We get to explore new possibilities for the collective. We must be forward-thinking in our choices.
The older I get the more imperative it seems to for me to write things down, to teach, to leave my legacy. I have an extremely strong calling to explore and share what I discover.
One of the things I do is write all these ideas that keep coming up in my head and share them with you. I have no idea what you do with them. But somehow, you are taking some of these ideas and putting them in your life. Therefore everything I am doing has an impact and I have no idea what it is. The same holds true for you.
Be aware of the changes and learn from them and be grateful for them.
It’s interesting to be old and look back over a lot of years and see what has changed. Opportunities for women are still an on-going process but it was pretty much nonexistent when I started out. Tolerance about sexual orientation and spiritual beliefs is still evolving and again was nonexistent when I was young.
Pause to look back over your life at the changes in the collective that have taken place in your lifetime. We are on an ongoing journey together and we each have contributions to make.
One of the things that happens when you age, is that you have a really good overview because there’s so much to look over. You can see the patterns and trends, you can see the mistakes and the wins. A lot of my less-than-stellar choices were made from a places of not being aware enough – of what I really wanted, or what the long term impact would be. You don’t have much conscious over-view when you are in the midst of making life choices.
We get to invent new ways of doing things. We get to explore new possibilities for the collective. We must be forward-thinking in our choices.
We are guardians and guides – we are to help raise the collective consciousness.
As a definite elder, my work seems to be strongly internal. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that we are in fact already the highest consciousness, we are just not aware of it. So our path, our role, our action here on the planet, is to remember that we are oneness. And help others be more aware of that.
The seeds I plant today are the crops of the future. The ideas that I explore and share today sprout and grow and bloom and are harvested wherever they are harvested. I have no idea. I’ll just have to be responsible for planting the best seeds I can!
Like a pebble dropped in a pond, we watch the ripples of awarenss flow outward from it, not knowing where it lands or what it will touch. I watch the ripples go on and on and on until it reaches the far shore. And then sometimes when the ripple hits the shore, it turns and comes back to me. Interesting idea. You eat what you sow…
What are you doing for the future? What legacy are you leaving? How will your current choices impact those who come after you? It is a major responsibility.
Our job is to live the most mindful life we can and be aware of our impact on the future.
What kind of an ancestor are you?

===INNER WORK===
Ceremony
Shaman Puma says he is in ceremony all the time. Being in ceremony is to be aware of sacred time and sacred space as existing at all times.
I have a morning ceremony that involves my flutes and playing to the elements and to nature. I draw an oracle card each day to help me look more deeply into my own choices and examine my thinking. I have a blessing for the creative work that I put out into the world. However, I could pay more attention to expanding my sense of sacredness – of ceremony.
Is it gratitude? No, it’s awareness. A sense that what I say and do and feel is sacred and has meaning and power. That means I must be selective in what I do and say and think. Live in ceremony with a sense of sacredness all day.
===OUTER WORK===
Allow Time and Space for Evolution
As I watch this new direction rapidly unfold, I am very aware that I must give it time and space to evolve. To make itself known in a way I understand it. Time for me to explore and choose and experiment with the ideas that keep popping up and give thought to how I want to pass it forward. And I get to let go of the way I used to do it.
Take a deep breath, go to your Still Point, and see what truly calls to you. Begin your work there. Begin by simply listening to your inner voice.
Keep an Eye Out for New Possibilities
As we move into this age of the feminine begining to express herself, we must begin to look at new possibilities. There are so many new ways we are to do everything. How do you go exploring? Or do you? I think the key is to be on the lookout for and responsive to ideas that resonate. Keep an eye on what technology is creating. With each new concept that shows up, begin to look at how you might use it, how you might apply it in what you do. What doors it opens up. The possibilities it means for an entirely new direction.
How open are you to new possibilities?
===DEEPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===
Move to the Rhythm of What is Around You
In my flute class, I learned to play to the horizon. When the mountain goes up, your tone goes up and where the mountain goes down your tones go down – that sort of thing. Recently I played to a branch the wind was asking to dance in the spring breeze. In your spiritual practice find new ways to connect with nature.
I love listening to silence. Letting myself go to my Still Point. Letting the world disappear.
Tune in to the nuances of your day and deepen your spiritual practice with the rhythms you find there.
===DISICOVERIES ===
Bird Calls
Minnesota Bird Calls – click on the bird and hear the call Great for learning abut diversity and for flute practice….!
Dictation
Learning to dictate to my computer is allowing me to go deeper within to find the ideas I want to share. It is rather remarkable.
===MY DEEPR SONG ADVENTURES ===
Create and Adjust
Learning something new is very freeing. As dry macular degeneration continues in my eyes and my vision gets trickier, I’m getting creative about how I continue my work. I want to learn to record my podcasts from an outline rather than the scripts that I normally use to work my way through an idea. So this week I recorded a journey to the Red Ray and part of it came from an outline. And I think it worked.
We develop skills as we need them and they change our potential. I dictate my journeys as I take them. Now I’m becoming comfortable with working from an outline for my podcast. When one door closes another opens. Here I go exploring.
===OUR EVOLVING FUURE===
Are You Equipped for the Future?
The Great Nothingness is very wise. It brings us into this lifetime equipped for the world that is evolving. So rather than sit here and think that I’m not sure how I can make this next move, I get to look at the younger generations and know they have come in equipped to handle this evolution. So it may not be my job on the physical plane, but I can support you on the internal field, on the spiritual plane. And I get to trust that the Great Nothingness has sent in all the right people to do all the right things to mov us forward into the future.
It’s not that my job is over just because I’m old. It’s that what I can and should offer has changed a bit. Not just in form but in content. As I mature, I have a broader base of experience and wisdom to draw upon. But I get to adjust my wisdom. and adapt it to the changing times. How I can repurpose and reposition what I know as valuable and offer it in a way that is meaningful to those who might choose to hear it? Our role is changing as individuals, but we also get to pay attention to the focus and energy, and accent of the younger generations. They are building their own world. And we are to help them.
Drones
They are using drones to reseed the forests harmed by forest fires. Yeah technology!!!
=== DEEpER SONG ORACLE MESSAGE===
Friction
Friction is how you move forward. If you don’t have traction between the wheel and the road, the wheel cannot turn. That’s a form of friction. What kind of traction, what kind of foothold do you need to get in your life in order to take this next step? Do you need to learn something? Do you need to get better at something? Friction is two things rubbing together. You rub your hands together to create friction to keep you warm. So friction is positive. It moves you forward. What are you rubbing up against? What is rubbing up against you? I want to interpret this as traction. Where are you going? What next steps do you need to take? And do you need a hand? Let’s see how far we can use friction to move forward.

===CARA’S CORNER===
The Move from Telling to Showing
We’ll see how this plays out, but I have had a huge shift in my own realization of what I’m doing. Rather than teach by telling I will begin to teach by showing. As I move into preparing and recording these journeys to the Seven Sacred Rays, I see more potential for helping you have your own experience and awareness of each ray. As I seek to create intuitive experiences for you through these journeys to the Seven Sacred Rays one at the time, I have made certain you haver your own experience before I share any part of what I discovered.
Let’s go exploring together – not so much telling, but a whole lot of experiential showing.
===SINGA DEEPER SONG ===
Change. Evolution. A step forward.
Change, evolution, a step forward. Each day a new view.
Change, evolution, a step forward. Each day a new view. Each day a new adventure.
We create our future with every thought we think, every action we take. Move forward mindfully as you sing your Deeper Song.
Namaste,
Cara
