Say goodbye to your credit card

0:02

rewards. Greedy corporate megastores, led by

0:04

Walmart and Target, are pushing for

0:06

a law in Congress to take

0:08

away your hard-earned cash back and

0:10

travel points to line their pockets.

0:12

The Durbin-Marshall Credit Card Bill would

0:15

enact harmful credit card routing mandates

0:17

that would end credit card rewards

0:19

as we know it. If you

0:21

love your credit card rewards, tell

0:23

your lawmakers, hands off, my rewards.

Tell them to oppose the Durbin-Marshall

1:03

afterlife. This

1:13

is episode 116 of Paranormal Stories. This

1:17

episode I'm reading from Tina Kinney Clarke's

1:19

book Into the Tree, Journeying

1:21

Into the Spirit World. When

1:24

I have guests on my podcasts, I read their

1:26

books to work out questions for the episodes. And

1:29

when reading these books, I always find such

1:31

fascinating information that never makes it into the

1:33

podcast. And here I get a chance to

1:35

give you a peek into the book. I

1:37

put a link to the book in the show

1:40

notes and I did seek permission to record this

1:42

extract and the author kindly said yes. And

1:44

if you enjoy this podcast, please leave a

1:47

review and be sure to subscribe. So

1:49

I'm going to start by reading from a

1:51

section titled The Spirit World. And

1:54

this is what Tina has written. the

2:00

spirit world, the upper, middle

2:02

and lower. The

2:04

upper world is everything in

2:06

the higher dimensions including galactic

2:08

locations. The middle world is

2:10

the physical world on Earth and

2:12

the lower world is the shadow world, a

2:15

place of secrets and invisible beings. You

2:18

can do a shamanic journey to visit

2:20

a particular world but I

2:22

only occasionally do this. I

2:24

believe in fully allowing the spirit world

2:26

to guide me and travelling to whatever

2:28

world will reveal the answers to me.

2:31

However, you can tell where you

2:33

are by how you arrive at the location. For

2:36

example, you might ascend a staircase

2:39

or find yourself on a planet

2:41

in space which would be an

2:43

upper world location. Middle

2:45

Earth locations are obvious and

2:48

you will see familiar scenery like

2:50

mountains, beaches or forests. As

2:52

common examples, you will approach the lower

2:55

world by descending the stairs, jumping into

2:57

a hole in the ground or entering

2:59

a cave. The

3:01

lower world seems empty and dark,

3:03

transmitting a lost feeling. It's

3:06

a place where you must focus and look for

3:08

what you seek and it's important

3:10

not to get scared. After all,

3:12

your power animals are with you and

3:15

protecting you. Onto

3:17

the next section, this is called What

3:19

and Who is encountered in the spirit

3:21

world. The

3:24

locations I encounter in the spirit

3:26

world vary but are always recognisable.

3:29

I often find myself near familiar

3:31

surroundings such as mountains, the desert,

3:33

the ocean or a deep forest.

3:36

I have also found myself in what looks

3:39

like outer space but all these

3:41

locations are recognisable. I

3:43

have walked into villages, churches and temples.

3:46

I have encountered bonfires and native

3:49

people dancing or playing music. Parts

3:52

2 and 3 of this book describe

3:54

what and whom I have encountered during

3:56

my journeys. As

3:58

mentioned above, you will encounter spirit helpers

4:01

or guides, usually in human

4:03

or animal form. Occasionally

4:05

I encounter beings from the fairy

4:08

realm such as elves, gnomes or

4:10

fairies and even star people from

4:12

other planets and universes. Your

4:15

spirit guides or certain ascended masters will

4:17

show up from time to time as

4:20

well. In the spirit

4:22

world you can communicate with anyone and

4:24

anything. Even so

4:26

called inanimate objects such as rocks will

4:28

speak to you. Everything

4:31

has a consciousness, whether in

4:33

the physical or spirit worlds. All

4:35

the communication in the spirit world is

4:37

via mind to mind or telepathy. You

4:40

might see someone move their mouth to words

4:43

but will you hear them in your head

4:45

as you listen? Even

4:47

in the physical world spirits communicate in this

4:49

way. It's incredibly efficient

4:51

and fast. Animals

4:54

are exciting spirit helpers and they

4:56

always have a symbolic meaning. When

4:59

I return from a shamanic journey after

5:01

encountering animals I look

5:03

up their spiritual significance because

5:06

this adds to the journey's

5:08

richness and importance. And now

5:11

on to the next section this is

5:13

called the importance of symbolism.

5:18

There's a well known saying that a picture

5:20

is worth a thousand words. A

5:22

journey contains many pictures. The

5:25

spirit world is rich with symbolism. Some

5:27

symbolism can be traditional but others

5:29

can be particular and personal to

5:31

the journeyer or the client. The

5:34

shaman needs to remember the details of

5:36

every journey and as soon

5:39

as the shaman wakes from her trance

5:41

those details need to be written down.

5:43

The spirit world is truly like the dream

5:45

world. Like dreams you will forget

5:47

them as soon as you wake up. That's

5:50

why it's essential to write all the

5:52

details down immediately. When

5:54

I perform a journey for myself I

5:56

focus on interpreting the symbols. However

5:59

if I do journey for someone else, I

6:01

often communicate the details of the journey

6:04

to my clients and allow them to

6:06

interpret the journey's meaning. If

6:09

they need assistance, I can

6:11

help interpret as well. However,

6:13

I must be careful with my interpretation

6:15

because I don't want to influence the

6:18

client unduly. Most people

6:20

are not used to interpreting dreams

6:22

or journeys symbolically, so most

6:24

people need help with this. Okay,

6:27

so I'm going to move on to

6:29

another section now. This is one of

6:31

Tina's journeys and this is

6:34

called a Starseed Spirit Guide. Letitia

6:37

had several questions that she wanted

6:39

me to answer via a shamanic

6:42

journey. What is my

6:44

spirit animal? What are my spirit guides?

6:47

How can I best communicate with my

6:49

spirit guides? When

6:51

I left the tree, I saw a flat

6:53

landscape in the dark. I

6:55

located a path that was lined with glowing

6:58

stones and I followed it. In

7:00

the distance, I saw a small village

7:02

and headed toward it. Walking

7:05

toward the town, I heard a voice say,

7:07

hello. I stopped,

7:09

surprised, as I did not see

7:11

anyone when I walked by. A

7:14

thin African man dressed in only a

7:16

loincloth was sitting in the dirt in

7:18

a lotus position. I

7:21

expressed my surprise and he got

7:23

up and introduced himself as Dongolii.

7:26

Do I know you? Yes,

7:28

you have been to the village before and

7:31

said you would return at a certain time, which

7:33

you are doing now. He

7:36

felt familiar to me and we walked toward

7:38

the village with our arms linked. The

7:41

village was full of teepee-like structures

7:43

and square homes built with

7:45

simple grass and wood. Dongolii

7:48

led me to a square home and

7:50

pushed aside the curtains so I could go inside.

7:54

There was a small fire, but

7:56

no one else was inside. He

7:58

told me he would fetch the chief. and Chief

8:00

Fess to speak with me. A

8:03

few moments later a young woman and her father

8:05

entered the house and sat across the fire from

8:07

me. They did not look

8:10

African but instead they looked

8:12

Native American. I

8:14

told them I was there for Letitia

8:16

and explained the information she sought. They

8:19

told me that they could help me with the

8:21

spirit guide questions. The

8:24

daughter turned to her father and briefly

8:26

discussed how to get the information. She

8:29

reached toward the dirt floor, picked

8:31

up a handful of dirt and threw it

8:34

into the fire. From

8:36

the centre of the fire emerged a woman. She

8:39

looked African with no hair and

8:41

wore a thick red beaded necklace.

8:44

She announced that she was Letitia's leading

8:46

spirit guide, the main one she

8:48

was born with. Letitia

8:51

is very connected to the African culture

8:53

and her origin star is Orion, making

8:56

her a starseed soul on this planet. A

8:59

starseed is a soul from another world

9:01

who incarnates as a human on Earth.

9:04

They bring unique gifts and abilities to help

9:07

heal the planet and its beings. A

9:10

spirit guide wanted her to explore all

9:12

these topics and she said Letitia

9:14

would find signs to guide her. The

9:17

signs will be unusual and repeat

9:19

themselves. She said telepathy

9:22

is another way to communicate with her

9:24

and that Letitia already communicated with her

9:26

in this manner. I

9:29

thanked the chief and chiefess and left

9:31

the dwelling. Outside the

9:33

villagers were partying, dancing and jamming.

9:37

In the distance I saw a lioness outside

9:39

the village and more lions were

9:41

standing next to her until there was a whole

9:43

pride. I followed

9:45

them outside the town and they led

9:48

me away, stopped and circled me. One

9:51

lioness stepped forward and said Letitia's

9:53

power animal was a lioness. The

9:57

lion is her power animal Which means

9:59

that she has a starseed. Strong presence on

10:01

a dignified manner. So. People

10:03

always know when she walks into the room.

10:06

Although her anger can be triggered easily,

10:08

she cares a great deal. To

10:11

is a natural leader and has

10:13

excellent organizational skills. She's

10:15

at her best when she functions as

10:17

part of a group or community rather

10:19

than acting alone. She

10:22

likes the stretch her abilities and consistently

10:24

seeks the no more. I.

10:26

Think them and headed back to

10:28

this reality. So

10:30
