BUILDING THE RAINBOW BRIDGEI had the great pleasure of studying deeply and dancing in shamanic ceremony with Brooke Medicine Eagle in person, on many fabulous occasions during my "formative years" in 1999-2004. Both on the land here in New England (Massachusetts and Vermont) and on her home land of Montana.
Working with reverence and honor, for the Earth, and for all creatures living on it, with all the elements and Walking the Path of Beauty. Shamanic Journeys, Vision Quests, and deep felt inner explorations with her included the first time I heard about THE RAINBOW BRIDGE. I was working and studying with her extensively when she published her second book, and as I renew my own Inner Creation and work this week building and re-building a re-newed level of myself as THE RAINBOW BRIDGE, I recall, re-read and share with you this excerpt from her book.... "The Rainbow Bridge to a Renewed Earth (from The Last Ghost Dance: A Guide for Earth Mages by Brooke Medicine Eagle) All of us alive on Lady Gaia at this time have the opportunity to be an active part of the Rainbow of Light that creates the bridge into a new and Golden Time for All Our Relations and us. At this point in human history, we have the opportunity to literally bring Heaven to Earth. Our ability to visualize and believe that it is possible for us to lift ourselves up, to pick up the profound work of our Earthly ancestors and move responsibly into our own piece of the action, and to fully embody Spirit is what will make this ascension possible. The exciting part is that we have the opportunity to complete something Mother Earth and humanity have been working on for aeons. The Rainbow Bridge to a renewed Earth was first shown to me in a vision given me by White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman, the mysterious holy woman who came many generations ago to a small group of Lakota people, bringing the Sacred Pipe that represents the Oneness and holiness of the Circle of Life. She, whose name is often shortened to White Buffalo Woman, has been an inner guide and teacher to me and to many others of this generation, as her wisdom invites us to walk in a sacred manner on Earth, honoring All Things, not only as our family, but literally as part of our wholeness. This particular time, she took me to stand at the edge of an enormous chasm made of black, shiny stone and asked me to look around. Looking across the gap, I saw a sight that thrilled my heart. On the other side was a radiantly golden world. Everything had an iridescent aura, like we sometimes see on a spring morning after rain when the dew picks up the many-colored light. There were people and animals there on a broad, flowering plain under crystal snowcapped peaks—with no sound but a soft breeze and happy laughter. Out of the sacred groves of enormous trees on the hillsides came rushing pure, clear water. Children and young animals played there together, splashing and laughing and drinking the water without fear. Two-leggeds went about peacefully and joyfully, developing and exchanging their gifts and talents, taking in the radiant energy for nourishment and nibbling for their sweet taste the fruits and plants that grew about them in profusion. Happy songs of birds and people and the calls of contented animals echoed across. It was a glorious place—a golden dream for us and All Our Relations. I yearned to go there. Then I turned to look behind me and was aghast at what I saw. There was smog on the horizon and acridness in the air, which I could see was harming all the living things upon which it settled, for everything had a dull, gray hue. There was arguing and fighting and warring, repression and prejudice, with everyone grasping what they could for themselves while snarling at others. Noise—screeching and pounding and roaring—filled the air. The scream of chain saws bespoke cutting the precious trees on the hills. Everything possible was being eaten, which made the people heavy yet did not nourish them. The lost, homeless, dispossessed, and sick lay all about, with many dying at the feet of those who hurried past. People wandered about, seeming alone and frightened even among their own kind. The deep hunger and need and grief of all filled the air. I wanted desperately to get to the radiant life on the other side of the chasm. Yet as I leaned cautiously to peer over the edge, I could not see the bottom: the dark, slick rock dropped out of sight in the mist on both sides. The gap was much too wide to jump, and I had no other means to cross. A wailing cry erupted from my throat as I realized I could not get there. All the while, White Buffalo Woman had stood beside me. Now she looked at me with compassion and said, "The bridge upon which you will cross into that beautiful life on a renewed and flowering Earth will be a bridge of light." Then she sent from within herself a rainbow of light that jumped across the chasm to rest on the other side. "To make a bridge, the light must become a rainbow. It is the only way!" I looked at her, still in desperation, because I did not know how to make a rainbow. "To make a rainbow, all colors of light must be included. None can be left out, or there will be no bridge." And she went on to help me understand the deeper meaning of this symbol she had given me: "When I say 'all colors,' I am referring to all things, all peoples, all beings. None can be left out. You must walk a sacred walk, acknowledging, honoring, respecting, communing, and cooperating with all things and beings in the Circle of Life. No one, nothing, can be left behind. You must live a life of inclusiveness, union, and sharing—letting the Light of Love flow freely among you. When all are included in a good way, the discordant song will become harmony and the light will automatically become a rainbow. Thus, all of you who are alive become the rainbow Upon which the generations cross into this new and Golden Time. The rainbow also represents another aspect of our movement into this new time: lightening up! It reminds you that you will find joy and happiness by creating them through singing, dancing, and celebrating together in gratefulness for the beauty Creator has given. You must release your heaviness and those things that burden you— lifting your attitude, practice, and vibration to a higher level. You must let what you love and what brings joy call you forward from moment to moment, for in no way can you bring this radiant time by doing things that displease or deenergize you. Rather than working for it, you must dance your lives as the old ones did. Nurturing ceremony and joyful celebration will be not only the hallmarks but also the means into this wonderful future." This vision, which affected me so poignantly then, still calls to me deeply. That iridescent scene of a renewed Earth beckons me every day of my life. I seek to unroll that dream before me as I walk, as one would lay out a beautiful carpet. Having stepped forward, I realize that the polluted scene lives within me as well as outside of me, and that, for me, awakening the dream into reality means cleansing myself of the attitudes, beliefs, and actions that comprise it, in order that I may invite others to do the same. I also realize that the beautiful, iridescent place already exists on a certain plane of reality. It is the gift Creator has offered us from the beginning of time, if we will only cleanse the smog from our eyes and choose that sacred path. Now, another vision has joined this one—a vision of another Rainbow, half of which has already been created and sent forth. During the time of European expansion and aggressive conquering of the Americas, Father Spirit sent a Messianic vision of this radiant land on "the other side" to a succession of tribal people, the most famous of whom was a Paiute named Wovoka, who shared it with the natives far and wide. They were shown a radiant life similar to that which White Buffalo Woman opened before me. Their visions came over a four-hundred-year period when subjugation, decimation, and finally genocide were taking place among American native peoples. The white man's greed for land and wealth was laying waste to the native tribes. Their lives were shattered, their homelands ravaged, the buffalo slaughtered and rotting in the sun, their families murdered, their dreams broken. These radiant visions, and the Christ figure known as Dawn Star who brought them, gave the ravaged people renewed hope, offering them a way to re-create an even more beautiful life. Through the Spirit Dance they had been given, they would bring to life their golden dream. Their murdered relatives would walk again on green and flowering land; all that was destroyed would be made whole. It was to be a new world in which Earth and spirit are as one. So in the latter days, they made the shirts shown in Wovoka's vision, using what little leather was left or flour sacks from the meager rations given them on the new reservations; and they circled in the entrancing dance that was shown them. They called upon their loved ones, so many hundreds now on the side of Spirit, to lift them up into this radiant dream. They danced that golden dream into the ground, set it into the reality of the Earth plane, made their half of the Rainbow. Then even that dream was shattered. At Wounded Knee, innocent, peaceful people of the Ghost Dance were murdered by the cavalry because the fearful white nation did not see the peaceful, beautiful dream that could unfold from it. Those dancers lifted into Spirit, to hold their half of the Rainbow until we of the present human generation could awaken and dance the other half into the ground of reality in this world. The vision White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman gave me is the same vision; it has been given into the hearts and minds of many of this generation—it is alive and well. The Ancient Ones and native peoples have known and held these powerful dreams down through time. Although they seem to fade with our attention on other things, a fine, strong thread connects us to them. Our present task is to draw their essence forth and to weave a web of beauty upon which to dance our lives."

Coast to Coast Gridworker's ChatOn this "episode" of Inner Space Convos, I get together with Merissa Indigo to discuss our current grid working activities, some ongoing projects, and to share a fun Crystalline Gridkeeper's code exchange Andara crystal exchange. We speak about uniting energies of Lemuria and Atlantis. Code exchange with the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and how the North America solar eclipse cycle and corridor of 2017 - 2024 plays a role. We also recap some of the "fun" and eruptive energies unearthed by the March equinox, and how that is unfolding for each of us, and the sacred sites we work with. We also share some new projects we are both revealing this month. A DAy in the Field - Gridworking & GatekeepingPhoto & Video Field Journal from a day out and about Gridworking and Gatekeeping. It is fun to share my "work"...and this format is potent. A picture says a thousand words, and a video, even more! All photos and videos recorded in the field on March 27, 2021 The Title, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, pays homage to the book by Tom Robbins. Interstellar communications flows via spring peepers!! And so much more! online Andara Shop OpenMy daughter, aged 6, has been home a LOT with me this year. It has been super special, somewhat challenging, and all kinds of awesome, with a side of deep breath teeth grit dig deep on the momma patience .
One of our "homeschool breakthrough" moments, was when I relaxed around letting her fully in to working with Andara Stewardship. She has been involved in every aspect, unpacking, cleaning, charging, gridding with them at home, deciding when they are ready to go out, weighing, measuring, pricing (can we say homeschool math??), naming them and setting them up in teams. And even learning Weebly website platform. Then when it is time to send them out, she polishes them and dries them, wraps them and even applies the address labels and comes to the post office. She is super empowered and in full ownership of this. (I sure wish someone had taught me how to run an online store in kindergarten. hahahahahahha) She made these sets and wants to get them into kids Easter Baskets. We can ship them out Monday to get to you in time. Do you have a crystal child who might want his or her own Andara set? You would make my crystal child's day to see an order or two come in and make her "crystal dreams" of Mandara Easter eggs for other kids come true. Local friends, we do curbside pickup or even home drop off if you are close by!! (she calls them Mandaras, so cute, and why correct her, it is precious) Lunar AlignmentsTHE MOON
Did you catch a glimpse of the moon tonight?? While the precise full moon is tomorrow afternoon here, it certainly has a full breathtaking capacity tonight. It is in a section of the sky that is rich with galaxies. Near the constellation Virgo. In particular is right across from Virgo A/ M87 tonight. Also triangulated with Spica and Arcturus. Tomorrow eve, at the moons fullness peak, it slides in a flat triangle with Arcturus and Spica. With this flat triangle alignment, Tomorrow morning, the moon sets with Spica (the brightest star in the Virgo Constellation) around 6:30 am. And the Moon rises with Arcturus at around 7:30 pm (EDT). Telsa Coil Light ShowEverytime I initiate an Inner Space Journey for someone, or a group, I set the space up, physically and energetically. Yesterday I rearranged my undertreatment table grids for an afternoon private session.
When I went back in to the room to begin, this was waiting there for us. I know I build Light Body Technology for folks. I feel it and sense it and connect deeply with it. I see it in my minds eye, my inner eye. This was “next level” amazing. Things are becoming much more tangible, much more palpable. These are amazing times we are living in. I am grateful for everyone who brings their light to the field at Inner Space so we can play and code. It is a supreme honor and pleasure. And so much FUN!! World Water Day CeremonyThis morning I left my house just before 11am, heading out to be in nature on this glorious spring day!! Just before I left, I noticed that Masaru Emoto was going live on Facebook, with a Global Water Ceremony & Water Crystal Photography event for World Water Day. Playing on my phone, my car blue tooth picked up the show, and I was listening to it as I drove, and inspired by the content I decided on the perfect place to play today. I headed to a spot that is a favorite of mine, and parked, got out and began to walk by the river. I did have along with me a set of Andaras that I had packed up special for this day. (I most always have some of these fabulous fellas along for the ride). Taking them and my phone along for my walk, what you see in this video is a great representation of my ongoing grid work and crystalline grid keeping, using light and sound codes. Light and Sound work amazingly well to transmute and transfigure water. This particular body of water, The Blackstone River, is an ongoing "passion project" of mine. The river, and this particular site of a former industrial mill, is extremely polluted, but growing cleaner each day and year. Efforts of many many organizations and individuals, myself being one of many. I compiled pictures and videos recorded today, and created a highly encoded video that I just uploaded to share with you tonight. The video description reads: "Dive Deep into Water Ceremony with Julie Dhara Roberts of Inner Space in Grafton, Massachusetts A spontaneus grid working water healing adventure, inspired by Masaru Emoto live Facebook event at 11 am on March 22, 2021. This was designed and captured in the authentic moments live time, and all was in the moment flow, and also a culmination of years of work and light coding at this special spot. timed to coincide with WATER PEACE PROJECT ~ Global Water Ceremony & Water Crystal Photography on MARCH 22, 2021 - World Water Day #wearewater #waterceremony #waterblessing #watercrystalphotography #masaruemoto Julie puts her own unique spin on the Water Crystal Photography, working with Andaras, Light and Sound Codes, as well as Solar Plasma Rays. The wood and metal structure I was toning under....I have long fantasized about toning with the river from this spot. Today was the DAY!! I hope you have as much fun and enjoyment watching it as I did making it. " Watch it below.... Inner Space Sound Temple |
