Mercury Retrograde Whale Or My Neighbor the Beluga - 4/16/05
 
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.

Beluga 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.
