Kokopelli Wisdom Journey

Dream-Catchers teach spirit wisdoms of the Seventh Fire

Dream-Catchers teach the wisdoms of the Seventh Fire, an Ojibwe Prophecy, that is being fulfilled at this moment. The Light-skinned Race is being shown the result of the Way of the Mind and the possibilities that reside in the Path of the Spirit. Real Dream-Catchers point the way.

A Kokopelli Wisdom Journey

                                         allen aslan heart

From what I have learned during the past 20 years since I began this journey, I call upon Man...and Woman to be their Natural Self.  Some people are misshapen by an ugliness of spirit that has robbed them of their beauty and their natural heritage. My people have called these people "mutants". I am trying to reach out to you with the beauty of art, music, poetry, photography, dance and ceremony. I am reaching out to you with Tai Chi for the Heart for you to recover lost connections to Mother Earth and Father Sun... and to Each Other. I am reaching out to you with the dream catchers of the Seventh Fire. To see the divinity in each other and the divinity in all things is to reconnect with the Original Instructions some of my people still remember every day: to love in depth and breadth, to honor and respect profoundly, All Beings in the Web of Life.

Every step is a step toward the True Man ... or Woman leaving behind the traps and trappings of the false man ... or woman. This has always been the True Spirit of my people. We don't have to become a New Man, just a True Man .... or True Woman... a Natural Man and a Natural Woman who can love extravagantly, unbounded by beliefs or doctrines. They walk in balance on the Good Red Road, in Harmony with ALL That IS.

                                 I dream that I dream
                                and inside my dream
                              I dance my song,
                          of living and learning,
                        becoming strong
                      and wise and free,
                       always turning,
                          flowing like the river
                             with the power inside me
                                 moving mountains
                               of illusion and ego
                             slowly to the sea.

We have been taught these things by the Star Elder so that we can be wary of the traps along the way, the crutches which become the disability, the limitations that become the excuses. We have been taught that beings throughout the Universe are waiting for us to take our existence to the next level with the tools we have been given. These gifts have been diminished and tarnished by the moralists, twisted by the evil ones, and misused by the men and women who have learned falseness. Still, they remain available and ever powerful, hidden in the mystery.

I teach authenticity. I am not swayed by moralisms or false expectations from the false ones. I Know and I AM. I've watched as false men and women of ego have tried to sully Heart with false words and deeds, gossip and lies. I am not sullied. I AM the DreamDancer. I AM Heart. My people would say, "Bah-wah-jig-ae-awn way-ondji Manitouwiyaun." This means "To dreams I owe the Mystery." For us, "Mystery" is the spirit.

I lived a reasoned, cautious life,
my heart was in a cage.
Each tick was measured on my clock
to stop the passion's rage.

I learned my prudent, jailer's role
at church, at home, at school,
to be the watchdog of my soul
lest ecstasy should rule.

Now comes this strange unruled way,
throws open my life's door
even butterflies are free.
To live
and love
and be alive,
to all the good in me,
to find mySelf in open other
is creation's gift to BE.

I offer a message of hope and desire for a Natural Man ... and Natural Woman. Perhaps you see that it is the Original Man and the Original Woman, not the dichotomy of Old and New. The Natural Man ... and Natural Woman have been created with gifts that take them beyond the ordinary and mundane. For some people it is difficult to take our Natural Heritage seriously. Intense programming over the millennia has reduced our perception, but not the Gifts of the People of the Feather.

Natural Man and Natural Woman have the capacity to light the whole universe in their embrace and union. I'd written this in my poetry over more than a decade. I suspect that Kokopelli had something to do with that.

Beyond the meadow of light 
 and the forest dark
      is a garden of pure being.
          Open your heart
              and journey there with me
                  and we shall Dance the Spirals
                     and Sing the Songs.

I've awakened to this Knowledge through experiences brought to me by the Grandfathers and Grandmothers who have placed this path before me. Looking back I can see a similarity in my path and that of Kokopelli. He was looking for his female counterpart and finally found her in Ice Flower.

Kokopelli has been one of the Grandfather Spirits who have spoken to me in the Heart and I am uncovering the confusion and delusion that has kept him hidden for so long. He taught people by his example to be the Natural Man. He is supposed to have taught people how to return to the stars through the Ecstasy of Their Being. There they would take their place in the Universe shining the light of their Love extravagantly to All.

Red, this living morning light,
hours after dawn.
The sun has crossed the magic line
that gathers close the night
to meet the moon and share the sky
by merging into one.
The dimming of the day affords
the brilliant flash of starry sport
as all around me flames cavort
and dance the rhythms of the stars.
My soul and body tuned
with a dark and blazing moon,
I AM one in the loving Cosmic Heart
My dream awake
the Breath of Sleep
to stir my being as I make
my Pilgrimage
through sunlit Deep
until I find my home aright
in star-bright heavens
 of the night.

A False Man or Woman cannot even understand the role of Money and Debt in our lives. Money as we know it is false, a trap and a trapping. Debt is false, a form of slavery. To learn about Money and Debt is to learn about our True Nature. Those who have learned to be False cannot see that this is a portal for learning the True Man and True Woman, from the profane to discover the divine.

The True Man and True Woman ARE the Natural Man and Natural Woman as the Original Instructions describe them. People miss the opportunity to honor themselves and the Creator when they refuse to accept their Natural Heritage. People honor themselves and Creator when they remember and accept their True Heritage. And the burden is easy, the way is light.

I AM here now. I AM alive and Dancing the Dream for the people. I AM present. I AM a True and Natural Man. I've been taught by a Master of Authenticity, Kokopelli. And I've found Ice Flower.
