A time of presence; dreams point the way

by 8hummingbirdway

Early one morning, about 5 weeks ago, I experienced a moment, an hour of deep presence and well-being. I spoke with Lei Lei during this time about this feeling and about two dreams. [Lei Lei is a being that I channel.]

We see that you are in a great state of …or a high state of presence this morning.

Thank you. Yes, I feel this. I feel that I reside in a place of holiness, almost …a place of understanding and of knowing what I need to call forth in myself in order to move forward in the best way possible in my life, in my days, in my actions, in my choices. And this is trust, deep trust in myself and all those around me and God and Life and Mother Earth and All-That-Is …as well as releasing all fear …trusting that my own presence and my response is landing in a place in which I am at ease and trust and well-being. And is that all? Ease, trust and well-being, compassion and kindness, awareness without fear, which is what the trust connotes.

We feel your energy, Annie, we feel your presence, your trust. We are happy that you are in this place at this time.

Is it possible that I can sustain this?

It is possible that eventually you can sustain this. We are unsure as to whether you can sustain it fully “now,” in this “time,” [and we put quotes around now and time, for we sense that you can achieve this way of being that you seek …and we do not align with the existence of time as you know it.] And so we are in support of you, moving forward in this way, with ease, trust, inner confidence, compassion, presence. We see that is within your reach to do so. And you will observe what brings you out of that space, what unsettles you, what seems to have power over you to change, to release your well-being, to reconnect with fear.

I would like to not walk that path of fear. I have walked it for so long.

We understand, and we see that you are in an elevated space at this time, and we support you in moving forward in this space and sustaining this ability. We do not doubt you. We simply leave room for a more full arrival in the future …if you are falling away at any time.

[I then shared with Lei Lei about a dream in which my son and my grandson had put themselves and the family at risk. They were avoiding the situation, would not admit it or talk about it. My daughter and I were afraid for our sons, and for the entire family.]

This a dream of fear and unsettled feelings – that which you are trying to leave behind. The dream brings you to the core of your concerns, which is your beloved ones. And this is a challenge – for you to trust, to know that they are ok, to know that all of you are ok, to trust your path regardless of anything that happens, regardless of all that might occur. So it is right to the point of where you sit at this moment, this business of trust and fear, worry for your beloved ones. And you must release them to their path, whether jail or death. These are the ultimate fears – imprisonment, harm, death, pain, suffering, loss of freedom, and also betrayal. These are the ultimate things you fear, it seems.

Thank you Lei Lei.

You are most welcome.

Is there anything else to fear?

Being found unworthy, incompetent, unable to fulfill your expectations, your responsibilities, being found faulty, being found less than you want to be. And you do not want this for your beloveds either – to be found faulty or to be afraid or to be betrayed or betraying the family in any way.

Yes. These are some of my fears that could unsettle me or change my course or cause me deep consternation, fear, and worry. My beloveds. And so I suppose the task is to release them to their paths with trust that this is the way for them. Even if it does not appear to be the way.

Yes. These are very difficult things to accomplish.

I see you are taking me to the core of those things that could unsettle me and bring me to fear.

This dream has done that.

[I then told Lei Lei about a prior dream of complex challenges …of systemic patterns and ego matters.]

This is not unrelated to the dream that you woke from today. It is about trust and fear and repercussions and falling short and intricacies of what is required for each individual in each situation. In both cases, there are others at play that one cannot control, although in this prior dream one can cover and fulfill their tasks for them. So, the same dynamics are at play. However, this morning’s dream is cutting much closer to the soul because they involve your beloved ones – your son and your grandson. And this is your weakness, your vulnerability. And these kinds of things …these subtleties …these are why we are not certain that you have fully arrived in the place that you hope to have arrived. However, you can see this place, and you are aware of it, and you can work towards it and overcome obstacles going forward now that you have the vantage point at this moment. And we are grateful that you have touched this and will be moving forward toward this in the ways that you need to.

Thank you, Lei Lei. I understand in this moment. I ask for help in going forward and sustaining this understanding and movement forward.

I thanked Lei Lei for their part in bringing me to where I sat that morning.

They respond: “However, more may be revealed to you as time unfolds.”

I take this to mean that even though I feel at the pinnacle of knowledge, and feel I have “arrived” where I want to be …there will be more to conquer within myself. There will always be more, I think.

2 or 3 days later, the sky started to fall in for me, as a result of a sequence of events.

At this time, 6 weeks later, I have passed through that time …which unsettled some of my most important relationships and showed me more fully who I am.

Am I back in the throne I hoped to occupy? In a way. I am grateful for my challenges, the teachings and experiences. I have navigated them the best I could – imperfectly, with humility for the most part. I have drawn lines that I needed to draw for myself, and I have learned from the experiences.

I am currently at peace with myself and with my loved ones.

I am ready for whatever else occurs, realizing that the challenges ahead may be even greater, and run deeper.

Life ahead is a mystery.

More than one Extra-terrestrial Origin

by 8hummingbirdway

Over time, I have realized that Starseeds tend to have experienced life with multiple species and cultures.

I have come to feel that I have a connection to Pleiadeans and their ways of being.

I actually felt a pull toward these beings first, but before I started to actually study and learn, I was more strongly drawn to the knowledge of Arcturians.

I’m fairly sure there are others, but I feel (at this time) that these are my most significant influences.

I resisted exploring this for a while. I am still reading Arcturian materials and have learned a great deal through my exploration of them.

However, recently, I have explored this new possibility. I have come to understand that the Arcturian specialty is Wisdom, and the Pleiadian way of being is more rooted in Love.

I love Love!

I have listened to some music and meditations that I have found helpful. I am coming to a better sense of who they are, what they offer. Perhaps I will expand to reading material in the future, although I am not actually seeking more tasks at this time.

Just reporting.

Intervention? Possession?

by 8hummingbirdway

After we sat down to talk, a family member asked me a question about channeling …why I channel only one entity or being.

I explained that I don’t make the rules of this channeling experience. I follow guidance with humility, and I have chosen to trust this path I am on.

I could, however, channel others. I did, one day, early on. But I wasn’t overly interested. My mission seems to be expressing the thoughts of Lei Lei, and that is enough for me.

Then they expressed concern that Lei Lei was “attached” to me.

I felt they were saying I was possessed, and they were attempting to conduct an intervention.

I walked away in some level of irritation. I was short of sleep and had had a deeply difficult experience the day before in a “healing session.”

When invited out to the porch, I had not been privy to the fact that there was a specific intention of questioning me regarding my channeling.

Maybe I overreacted. It seems I did.

The questioner at one point stated that they felt they were talking to Lei Lei, not to me; I was responding in irritation.

I truly don’t recall what exactly happened or was said after I walked away from the porch and before I left the house. I was exhausted and upset. I remember expressing displeasure as I gathered my belongings and packed my bags. I might have raised my voice. I remember telling my travelling companions I would buy them a plane ticket if I decided to head home early.

This person asking the questions has never asked Lei Lei a question or read a message from them – perhaps has watched a video.

That’s fine. I don’t expect everyone to be on board, and I am certain it’s challenging to have words come out of a family member’s mouth that originate elsewhere.

However, I am still myself. Every day, every conversation, I am the speaker …unless I reach out to Lei Lei intentionally.

As a shamanic practitioner, I have successfully assisted others with possession. One of the recipients of that assistance was on the team of questioners.

A couple of things about the dynamics with Lei Lei annoyed me in the beginning, but I have never experienced them speaking in a casual conversation as if they were me – or interfering in my relationships or life choices.

I went out on an errand. I thought about heading home, but I returned with regained composure after about an hour. We spent a quiet evening together in peace, if not complete harmony. I headed out early the next day, as planned.

I called one of the people from the porch meeting a couple of weeks later to chat. After a few minutes, I asked if there was anything from the time of my recent visit that needed resolution. I was told I was not to talk about channeling. I said I was willing and able to answer questions. I reminded them that I was in a depleted and unsettled state on that day because of known events of the day before, and due to lack of sleep. I was told they would hang up if I continued discussing it …even though I was only discussing the possibility of answering questions.

However, that door is closed for now.

I was told by my friend Norlen, who channels Sri Pune, that it is difficult for family members to accept or understand channeling.

I do understand the difficulty.

Dark Night?

by 8hummingbirdway

Recently I wrote about Arcturus, the sun of the Arcturian people.

Currently I have been reading The Hidden Keys of Arcturian Awakening. It’s written for people who are on a path of understanding more about the culture, knowledge, orientation and practices of this species, who perhaps I originated with – or spent time with during other lifetimes.

This week I read the following about an aspect of the spiritual journey called “The Dark Night of the Soul,” a human concept that is shared by extra-terrestrial species.

During this time or stage, individuals often experience:


-A sense of emptiness or loss of meaning.
-Intense questioning of long-held beliefs.
-Emotional turbulence: grief, fear, or loneliness.
-A longing for “something more,” though undefined.

Just as a seed must crack open before the
sprout can grow, the human soul must often pass
through darkness before it remembers its light.

The dark night strips away what is false so that what is real can finally be seen.

I previously mentioned the dark night of the soul. Comparing that experience to where I currently stand, I must rescind the label of my brief experience in May. Perhaps it was a harbinger of what was to come.

More recently, I have been confronted with several challenges of a personal nature.

  • My very way of being was challenged. I was forced to reconsider my priorities, my goals, my established situation in this life I live.
  • I faced an adversary of an uncaring nature who held power over me briefly.
  • I was able to move past paralysis and discomfort and trust myself to respond in a way that was true to myself and my path.
  • Close family members took a stand together against a choice I made. I was pushed away and distanced, then was censored …not allowed to speak about it.
  • I didn’t respond well, felt disoriented. I alienated someone I love significantly.
  • I was brought by life to question myself, prior choices that landed me where I am. Can I trust life to hold me despite a significant upset?
  • I found myself mired in sorrow and self-questioning.
  • Can I trust myself? Where does my balance reside? How do I recover? What is truly at stake and what is truly important?

I have been struggling to regain wellbeing and balance, to trust myself to navigate through these experiences, through a significant feeling of loss.

I am feeling a deep sadness.

I am struggling to feel supported by life during this time of uncertainty.

Here is a continuation of what I am reading:

Though painful, the dark night is ultimately a gift. It teaches surrender. It invites humility.
And most importantly, it opens the heart to the presence of guidance — whether through dreams, synchronicities, or subtle impressions of spiritual support.
In many accounts, those who endure this stage emerge with greater clarity, compassion, and resilience. They realize that the darkness was not an enemy but a teacher, preparing them for the path of awakening ahead.

I do feel a greater humility …but I have not fully surrendered. I feel a fight within me, resisting the full surrender to the spiritual support that I know is all around me.

What more is at risk?

I am willing to continue the walk of awakening …as the path is shown to me.

I am open to surrender, but do not know the steps.
