REMINDER from Mano:
Once again I would remind you that you have not come to the planet alone. Your loving Heavenly Father and Mother have given you a Guardian Angel and a Body Elemental to watch over your daily life.
REMARKS from Barbara:
Mano is requesting I interact more with the house spirits to give them jobs and offer gratitude for their support.
REMEMBERING Mary Jane:
Mary Jane’s willingness to connect with Rama and the elemental in her home was deeply appreciated.
Reminder to Relate
Blog #117
CHRISTMAS got away from me this year. I always buy myself a Christmas Present. The past two years after losing all of my clothes in the Santa Cruz Fire I have purchased a warm and cozy elegant cashmere sweater. This year I didn’t see anything that called to me until browsing through the Rudolf Steiner Book Store collection of art and color books. I am in process of reorganizing my studio and plan to return weekly to open Council and paint as I did before the fire. I splurged on five books on Rudolf Steiner’s color consciousness. At that point Mano entered the scene and I added a book on Archangel Michael and a book called, School of the Elemental Beings.
I started reading the book on Elementals Christmas Day. As I read the author, Karsten Massei, shares his relationship with elemental beings where they taught him about their life. Mano reminded me of some of my earliest experiences he had orchestrated around 50 years ago to open my heart to the reality of the elemental world.
It was very early Halloween morning. Jim and our four children were still asleep. The living room was decorated with corn stalks, and pumpkins. I stopped as I entered the room. I became aware that the room was full of elemental beings. They seemed to be playing games and dancing in circles. I felt the presence of older elementals and received thoughts of gratitude. I also received the understanding this was a group of Traveling Elementals. They have no home base and travel from place to place stopping where they feel welcome or needed in peoples’ homes. Elementals are fine healers and creators of magic. The Travelers respond to bring healing or answer prayers to people they feel they can help. My Halloween decorations called their attention to my home where they could rest, play, and celebrate Halloween. Mano told them, while I was not awake to their reality, to look at my heart and they will know they are welcome. I didn’t want to disturb their party and went back to bed. When I got up in the morning, the room was empty of elementals but a special feeling of gratitude was present.
One Christmas Eve morning I got up early to make Christmas Cookies with my Santa Claus cookie cutter. When the cookies came out of the oven, I became aware of 5 or 6 little gnomes sitting on the kitchen counter with their legs swinging over the side. I had never seen anything like this before, I was delighted and told them so. Next, I mixed icing and put a red cap and suit on the cookies. All of a sudden, I felt a ‘vacuum’ and the elementals were gone. They soon returned each dressed in a Red Santa Claus suit. I felt them say, “we always love it when you bake cookies, but this is so special when you decorate them.”
In the early ‘70s Mano orchestrated another experience. My meditation group had a favorite guided meditation. Following the leader’s direction we visualized walking through a meadow, over a stream and up a hill to meet a holy one who would give us a gift. My experience was unique; each time I started up the hill I noticed an opening to a cave that was filled with mature gnomes. I always left the path to the top of the mountain to enter the cave with the gnomes. I have no memory of what happened when I joined them. It felt very natural even though somewhat curious. A few years ago, Mano told me that was an experience I actually had in another life time while living in a forest at the edge of a large city.
Mano continued his revelations as I continued reading the little book where the author shares his experience with the elemental kingdom. Mano informed me that I had actually been neglecting to interact with my personal companions and house elementals.
I had decorated my Christmas tree with close to 100 little gnome figures and my house with 20 to 25 cloth and ceramic gnomes from 1 inch to 6 inches tall. Some are permanent residents and others were put up to celebrate Christmas. Mano said I was becoming careless in relationship with the guests I had invited to celebrate Christmas by putting so many elementals around the house and on the Christmas Tree and never interacting with the reality of there truly being gnome consciousness present within the figures when I interacted with them. They are a form of The Travelers. When their image is purchased and they move from the store to a home, an elemental being is present to respond when they are treated with love and respect as real.
Thank you Barbara. This came @ just the right time.
I often have acknowledged the spirits that dwell in my home.
I say Monday’s prayers to them.
Lately tho I have forgotten to put out a small dish of milk for them as an offering. Since it is Imbolc this must be placed by the front door.
An offering & a blessing.
My house spirits help me & the house so often.
Reminding me the stove is on or protecting the house from an over zealous candle flame. I am very grateful in my deepest of hearts & so glad I live among people who understand & believe in the unseen ones.
Blessings to you my lovely Mother
God bless you and your family
It’s great to read the story of the gnome.
God bless you.
I appreciate this reminder immensely. Barbara gifted me a little Christmas gnome ornament several years back. As our place is very small and does not accommodate a tree for decorating, I kept this gnome in my car. Somehow it just seemed right. Like this being was sent as a friend of guidance and protection. He (it occurs to me I have always thought of this gnome as he) has since ‘moved’ from that car with me to my present vehicle. Sometimes I notice that he has fallen over and I always touch in to right his position. I feel a knowing that I have not fully tapped into this relationship in the capacity that is available. Thank you Mano and Barbara for this message.
I never realized that the gnome figures Patti put in her garden were marking the presence of live elementals. However when our house was immolated by the wildfire, a number of small resin figures on the fireplace and in the yard that we particularly loved were still on guard, waiting for our return, to let us know they had watched over it until we could return. We felt a living reality present there, thanked them for their faithfulness, and told them their service was complete, they could go wherever they were supposed to go now. Their bodies had already turned to ash and yet were still perfectly formed. When I released them, they turned to dust and floated away on the air. Your sharing explains they really were marking the locations of real elementals even though they were not imaged in the traditional gnome form. That must be why our bond with them was so much deeper than what we feel toward mere objects. Thank you!
PS the traditional gnome figures in our garden were porcelain or pottery and did not burn. We collected them with the intention of putting them in the garden when we get a replacement house.
Thank you dear Barbara
Thank you for the reminder.
