Editor's Note: This is the fifth of a projected series of 26 articles in which Allen Aslan Heart will pass along the spiritual wisdom found in the stories behind his dream catchers. Like many others, Mr. Heart feels that the time has come when we must get our spiritual and ecological acts together if we are to survive and evolve.

Following Your Own Dreams: A Lesson in Personal Power and Wisdom Part Two: Our Experience

by Allen Aslan Heart / White Eagle Soaring

In part one, I described an event in which I was shown a small fragment of truth that pointed toward the lie—a small piece of drainage tile that gave a wholly different explanation for the water bubbling from the earth. When I followed the ravine uphill, I came to a marsh. Having grown up on a farm in the 50’s, I could easily connect the two. The water was not healing water from a spring deep within the earth as I had been told. It was swamp water. These disembodied beings, called the Blessed Ones, could not “see” 18 inches into the earth to know that the water was delivered from a swamp by a drainage tile and claimed that “they” had delivered healing waters from deep within the earth. Then I knew that the “wisdom” of “The Blessed Ones” was shallow at best and dangerous at worst. The channeler was clearly a fraud.

Today, the horrifying images of 9-11 remain. The shock has worn off a bit, and the government of our country has embarked upon a program of attacks on other countries in the name of vengeance and attacks on the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution in the name of security. This program is based upon a conspiracy theory of suicidal Islamic terrorists hijacking four passenger aircraft and crashing them into symbols of American power and prestige, the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

Following that “attack,” various spiritual leaders, gurus, and channelers offered their analysis and advice that accepted the conspiracy theory of the government without question. Often, their analysis pointed correctly toward the possible reasons why such an event could occur and what we might do about it. But the fundamental acceptance of the unproven “facts” and “evidence” has exposed their lack of esoteric wisdom and knowledge. They apparently could not see through the “shallow” illusion of 9-11 to see the swamp that was the genesis of this attack. This is your opportunity to see through the illusion of authority and begin to unfold your own authority and knowingness, your own mission impossible - if you wish to accept it.

I repeat the caution: Taking responsibility for your own life requires using your own power and wisdom as your guides. You are each to walk your own path of power and wisdom in Truth and Beauty, to follow your own dreams, one after another. It is your right and heritage. If you are not prepared to pierce the veil of illusion yet, if you prefer the comfort of reality as it seems, don’t read any further. I’m just going to reach down 18 inches into the pool and see what we come up with. These are the facts as reported on mainstream news.

From publicized reports we know of several highly unusual actions taken or not taken by the President Bush, his staff, and the Secret Service on that fateful day. We know that he was in Sarasota, Florida at a publicly announced event to read to the students of Emma E. Booker Elementary School at 9:00 AM. Earlier that morning, at 8:20 AM, the FAA air traffic controllers became alarmed as one then another of four passenger flights veered from their designated path and turned off their transponders, which identified these aircraft on FAA radar screens. Even more alarming was the silence from the cockpits. At 8:40 the FAA contacted the National Military Control Center to initiate interception of these wayward flights. Contrary to standing procedures, there was no response from the Air Force and at 8:46 AM, American Airlines Flight 11 hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. According to statements by the Vice President on Meet the Press, the FAA was on an open line to the Secret Service with the President in Sarasota, Florida. Before entering the elementary school at 9:00 AM, reporters who had been following the reports from their own news desks asked the President if he knew what was happening in New York City. He replied that he knew and that he would have something to say about it later. He continued with the public event at Emma E. Booker Elementary School with several hundred children and nearly 100 adults, including staff, local dignitaries, and his large contingent of Secret Service agents and staff. At 9:03 AM, United Airlines Flight 175 slammed into the south tower of the World Trade Center. At 9:05 AM, Andrew Card, the President’s Chief of Staff whispered something into his ear. Planes were flying into buildings; America was “under attack.” The story reading continued.

The job of the Secret Service is to protect the President and the Vice President. The Vice President told Tim Russert on Meet the Press a few days later that the Secret Service picked him up and moved him quickly to shelter deep within the White House. Apparently there was great concern for his safety. There seems to have been no such concern for the President, however. Bradenton International Airport is only 5-6 minutes away from Emma E. Booker Elementary School and the President of the United States would be even more vulnerable than the Vice President. Yet he and the agents of the Secret Service were seemingly unconcerned for his safety, or for that matter, the safety of the children and staff. Why? Can you imagine that these highly trained and professional security agents would allow such a breach in procedures? Not one fighter jet scrambled to intercept any of the “hijacked” aircraft that day even though that would have been normal procedure. It is so automatic that it could only be countermanded by direct orders from the highest authority. Can you imagine that such automatic procedures failed not once but four times? On the same day? Within minutes of each other? When the first interceptor was launched 75 minutes later from Langley AFB 129 miles away instead of Andrews AFB 10 miles away, it arrived too late. And the cover stories changed several times in the next few days—three times in two hours during questioning before a Senate committee.

This is only a small portion of the public information that is available. You can make up your own mind on this. Available evidence indicates that the government was told it would happen during the week of September 9, that it would involve hijacked airliners slamming into important buildings, that it would be aircraft from American Airlines and United Air Lines. You decide. Are you standing with the pieces in your hand trying to hold the myth together? I’ve been there. What are you to do with this information?

In the aftermath of 9-11, many spiritual leaders, channels, and gurus who profess special knowledge from “beyond,” were commenting on what had happened. This is a test and you can decide for yourself if their sources provide the clarity, insight, and wisdom you would expect from their claims of higher authority. Like me, you stand with the pieces of drainage tile in your hands. You look at the swamp on higher ground and the “healing water” that had sprung from within the earth and the outlet into the lake ….. and you add it up. This is intended for your learning and evolution. This is about you taking responsibility for you, not accepting information or what purports to be wisdom or truth without looking at it with discernment. You are your own authority. You have the capacity to soar beyond mind. This is your mission impossible……if you wish to accept it.

Finally, this is not about being negative or untrusting or about judging individuals or institutions. To see this from its higher perspective it is necessary to understand the difference between WHO and “what.” When you identify with “what,” seriousness and suffering arise. This is discussed in Beyone Illusions: Adventures Of A Joyful Messiah. Paradoxically, all is as it should be. 9-11 would seem to be a great tragedy perpetrated by evil men. More illusion. Tragedy is the subject of the next article.
