An Interview With the Tree People - part 1


Published in the January 2015 issue of Sedona Journal)

Doug:  Do trees have a sense of humor?          
Along the Hudson River, near North Creek
Trees:  Oh, my goodness, yes we do have a sense of humor! However, the human may not recognize it.  My goodness we have to laugh! We sometimes come out of our skins at night and we dance and we play and act silly. We love the night. It is our play time. We are not sure why you are all so serious about your lives. You know, you are here to play and have joy, so why the long faces?  We encourage you to sit with us a bit every morning, then you'll find the rest of the day will be much more fun and playful, and definitely not so serious. You will not get to the higher states of consciousness many of you want to achieve without a sense of humor. It is really OK to laugh your way into Enlightenment!

Doug:  How do we connect with you?
Trees:  We are a doorway to a higher realm of thought, belief, and experience. You can simply allow this doorway to open. You don't look for it; rather, you know in your heart this doorway is generally available to you to enter whenever you wish. It is required of you to be thoughtful and respectful as you stand or walk among us, and to maintain an open heart. It is also necessary for you to be in a state of peace and stillness. You then simply ask, "may I enter your domain, please?"  If we know you to be genuine, you will be invited to enter. Find a comfortable spot and just breathe and be still. You will know you have entered when a quiet serenity overtakes you and all of your worries and thoughts are gone. Once you're truly connected, you will experience your life before you as a masterful creator, you will have clarity as never before; and you will sense a glorious oneness, one that you will continue to feel after your meditation has been completed. Ideas may also begin to flow. A healing on some level of your being will likely take place. You may or may not feel it happening while in the solemn connection with us. It may occur on your physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual level, or all of them. It is something you may experience immediately or within several days or weeks of your connection. We wish to have a relationship with you on the levels of love, respect, appreciation, and oneness of spirit. This is what we ask from you. It is important for you to remember who you are while in your physical experience. We can assist with this while you are in sacred communion with us.



Doug:  Can you explain further about the healing trees can do?
Trees:  People can experience a healing through us if they are open to it. We do not heal directly; rather, it is the level of energy and consciousness that affects the individual. As the human sits with us in loving and sacred communion, he or she may experience a great explosion of love and a joyous vibration and a unique stillness. It is a different wave of energy and consciousness the average human is unaccustomed to. If this frequency is consistently practiced, no disease or disharmony can exist or remain in your bodies. You cannot go up to a tree and say, 'heal me!'  You can, however, ask to enter our domain and allow time for your body and mind to readjust to this wave of higher light and joy.

Doug:  What should I teach about trees?
Trees:  That we are live, sentient beings and we are connected to you. When you destroy us, you destroy a part of yourselves. When you love us, you are sending love to yourselves and raising your vibration. Teach them the proper way to communicate with us. Teach them to walk among us in silent prayer and meditation. Teach them that we are one together on this magnificent planet Earth. Thank you.


An Interview With the Tree People / part 2

Doug:  What is the most important thing we humans should know or realize?
Trees:  That you are trapped in a web of your own doing. You are prisoners of your own limited belief systems. You 'believe' what you are told instead of 'knowing' what you already know. Trust your inner knowing and act according to your feelings and what your heart tells you. In doing so, you will be free. You will be natural and the highest God part of you will ecstatically take over your mind and bodies. Even though we are securely anchored to the ground and cannot lift up our feet and run off, we are free. Our hearts are clear and light and full of joy. We are free because we are natural and living our true and joyous purpose. There is no one telling us what we 'should' do. We are clear channels of spirit and we never doubt our God status.

Doug:  Can you provide individual guidance for people?
Trees:  What we are very happy to do is assist individuals in becoming clear and open to their own higher guidance. We provide a higher frequency, one that enables a person to talk things over with himself, sort things out, and 'hear' his divine self. We are Enablers. What also helps is the silica in our leaves. It assists to amplify your consciousness, to open it up to yourself and greatly decrease the distractions that generally rule your lives. You already are your highest and best guidance. We are happy to make you aware of this. You are, however, welcome to believe it's coming from us.

Doug:  Can trees predict the future?
Trees:  Yes, although it is fluid. We feel what the Earth feels. We feel the ebb and flow of energies all over the planet. We feel Love as it strengthens or weakens in the human kingdom. Everything is in the Earth and in the air and we are, at all times, connected to it. We sense what is coming and flowing and we know what the humans are creating and planning to do. We also sense what Mother Earth is creating and intending as well. We would like to say that Love is increasing on the planet at this time. It is spreading everywhere and we know this to be a trend that will continue. This is changing everything and our future is bright with strong spiritual energy and light available for all beings whose intentions flow with Love. It is like an ecstatic wave that has already approached the shore and nothing can stop it.

Doug:  Do you have anything else you wish to say?
Trees:  We love you. We love our existence and our purpose. We love the sun and its energy as it shines on us and provides us with nourishment. We love our planet and all its life. We accept you for who you are and celebrate you. We invite you to love all of creation as well. Thank you.

Family of Spruce

A message from the Family of Spruce 

We have experienced the joy of living here on this Earth for a long time and we could not be happier. We are so pleased to experience this life, to feel the power here, and to welcome the happy people who come to the mountains and lakes and forests to relax. They are happy because they are away from their lives of stress. They let loose here and feel their problems fall away. They love feeling free with us and with all of nature. They wear their faces of joy, not the false faces they think they must put on at their other places. Many humans live such false lives, such unfortunate, unhappy lives, but we love them all. We joyfully continue to model for the humans what it is like to live a strong and peaceful life. 

For peace and healing: Lie on the ground and roll to the left. Roll to your right. Lie on your back in a comfortable position and speak to Mother Earth. Hold your hands to the sky, then lay them flat, stretched out at your sides. Allow some time for Mother Earth to send you energy. It will enter at the base of your backbone, then travel up your spine. From there it will spin and radiate out through your body and fill you with enormous peace, unlike you've ever experienced. Feel it. Be with it. Allow it to overtake you. Feel the healing take place. With continued practice, you will heal on all levels of your being. You have allowed this. You have not forced yourself to do anything. Please enjoy our peace.

This world is taking off and it is not going to look back. Its wings are flapping and it is so ready to fly.  We can feel it. We feel you, the humans, are ready to fly and be a power source for each other, and to stand in your own individual power. You may have noticed we, the trees, stand in our own power. We are stately and so are you. When you sit with us you will feel your soul. You will feel lifted up and excited. Everything will become clear. It will all make sense again. You will know why you came here to this life. There will be no more questions, no more doubts. This is what we've been saying and modeling all along. Continue on your journey and be sure to bless your sacred path. Remember us and speak to us whenever you wish. The Family of Spruce
