You've
probably read about the most recent Mercury retrograde
time. It happened from March 20 - April 12th. Mercury
retrogrades can kick up a lot of freaky and improbable
stuff. (Charles and Camilla's marriage being a case
in point.
)
Energy vortices or doorways between dimensions can open up during Mercury
retrograde, and there can be disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field.
Throughout our recent retrograde I was aware of lots of shifts happening
along the Delaware River. You may have heard how Trenton and other
riverside towns experienced a huge flood recently, which was a bummer
for owners of riverside property. We're about a half mile away from
the river, and we're up high, so we stayed dry. But many of our neighbors
have had deal with the headaches of flooded basements, ruined dry wall,
and having their homes condemned. Not fun at all.
Even though Mercury retrograde is over, its effects are still being
felt. I had a cosmic hangover this week, feeling a bit spacey and out
of sorts because of the geomagnetic disturbances. And I wasn't the
only one feeling disoriented. . .
A young male Beluga whale turned up this week swimming in the Delaware
near Trenton. Belugas are Arctic whales, so this was one of those "Things
That Make You Go 'Hmmmmmm.....'" You can see a picture of him
here and read about his adventures.

So far, he seems perfectly healthy, and he's having a, um, whale of
a time munching on the local shad who spawn this time of year. (We're
having our yearly Shadfest celebration next week where people hang
around, drink beer, and gorge themselves on fried fish balls. Ah, the
wonders of country life!)
Anyway, I was wondering if the Beluga whale had been displaced from
all of the magnetic disturbances accompanying this recent Mercury retrograde.
Last night I was tuning in to him and I received a more positive message.
He's here checking things out! Apparently, some GOOD vortices have
also opened up along the Delaware, and he was drawn to experience them.
I don't get the sense that he's going to beach himself or die here,
just that he's paying a brief visit. So that's good. The energy he
conveyed was joyful and celebratory, not sad.
Belugas are adorable - they have these cherubic smiles and sweet energy.
I wish it were more practical for Belugas to hang out locally all the
time. I'd love to have them around.
This particular Beluga was first
identified by naturalists in Quebec swimming near
the St. Lawrence River in 1986. They named him "Helis." From
examining his scars and unique markings, marine biologists
have verified that this is the same whale who has
been hanging out near Trenton.

Whales and Cetacean Energy
If
you've ever been lucky enough to spend time with
whales, dolphins, or manatees, you've probably tuned
into their joyful energy. These are amazing beings
who (I feel) are much more spiritually evolved than
humans. They have a multi-dimensional intelligence
that is deeply connected to the whole of creation.
Unlike us, they don't appear to have gone through
the "separation" from Source/God/Goddess
that we've experienced. They are still intimately
connected with the energies of the divine. They
never experienced a "fall" in consciousness
as we did when we became disconnected from the spiritual
fabric of reality. We each have to work hard on
reopening our senses and exploring personal growth
if we want to connect with Source again. The cetacean
kingdom possesses this level of awareness naturally.
This makes them incredible teachers. Spend some
time tuning into a whale or dolphin, and you'll
get a glimpse of what life is like in that connected
state of consciousness. You learn what it's like
to be "plugged in" all the time.
I
was privileged to go on a whale watching trip in
1995 up in Bar Harbor, Maine. Two humpback whales
surfaced repeatedly right near our boat. There was
a group of perhaps twenty people on board, all trying
to anticipate where the whales would surface. After
a while, they learned that the whales were surfacing
RIGHT NEXT TO ME. So all they had to do was follow
me around and stand next to me, and sure enough,
the humpbacks would pop out of the water.
I
exchanged a lot of eye contact with one humpback
as it surfaced about ten feet in front of me and
looked me over with one big eye. The humpbacks conveyed
an ancient, infinitely loving intelligence as I
tuned into them that day. You know how when you
spend time with a really old person in their late
80's or 90's, you often get that sensation of being
in the presence of tremendous wisdom? The person
has lived long enough to have seen it all - world
wars, civil upheavals, peaks and valleys in the
economy, life, death, birth, etc. You can feel this
sense of accumulated experience in their energy
field. It's a nonverbal thing.
Well, the humpbacks had this essence
magnified by a factor of about 100. I felt truly humbled
and in awe as I made mental contact with them. And
they carried a vibration of patience and love that
wasn't condescending - just very understanding and
compassionate. I wanted to jump in the water and follow
them to the ends of the world.
The humpbacks
made it clear that they understand this species
of creatures known as humanity. They see us as
beings of tremendous versatility and talent who
just need to embrace the fullness of who we are.
The cetaceans work on a spiritual level with humanity,
encouraging us to make that journey "home" to
a more enlightened level of awareness, cushioning
us with waves of gentle encouragement and awe-inspiring
love.
