Driving to the Rez - With Inelia Benz and Larry Buzzell

Normally, we have excellent interactions with the people we love and care for. Most of our friends and relatives are people who, if not interested in personal growth, are caring, loving, intelligent, and friendly people.

For a few weeks now, Larry has been planning to visit some close relatives in Alaska. The visit was important to him. Last time, he went with his kids via plane, train and boat, it’s quite the journey. But none were free schedule wise this time, so he invited me on a road trip, using our new big truck, our camper, and a couple thousand miles of Canadian wilderness to travel through. I love a good road trip so I said, “yes.”

He let his relatives know, he got an answer a week later, and he was told in no uncertain terms that I was not welcome in their home.

Why?

Larry and I had a big sneak attack by an alcoholic demon possession this week. And I use the word “demon” to mean nasty, negative entities. I don’t use the word in a religious way.

Normally, we have excellent interactions with the people we love and care for. Most of our friends and relatives are people who, if not interested in personal growth, are caring, loving, intelligent, and friendly people.

For a few weeks now, Larry has been planning to visit some close relatives in Alaska. The visit was important to him. Last time, he went with his kids via plane, train and boat, it’s quite the journey. But none were free schedule wise this time, so he invited me on a road trip, using our new big truck, our camper, and a couple thousand miles of Canadian wilderness to travel through. I love a good road trip so I said, “yes.”

He let his relatives know, he got an answer a week later, and he was told in no uncertain terms that I was not welcome in their home.Apparently, I am a very bad person and will upset the elderly who might then have heart attacks in my presence. Quite the reputation.

There have been at least three interactions from the woman who has placed herself as “gatekeeper” for the couple we were visiting, which invariably begin with, “I don’t want to sound confrontational, or get into a fight or drama, but…” This is a classic example of “preemptive framing” or “disarming language” - used manipulatively to appear non-aggressive while preparing an attack. Then followed by a barrage of covert narcissistic sentences. We can identify a covert narcissism when the person weaves their words to appear victimized or gentle while manipulating and harming others.

Personally, I knew what was coming as soon as I heard those words, it is Psychology 101 and not hard to identify.

The hit came in unexpectedly and deep for Larry, however. He thought she was calling to talk about her latest work trip, which sounded to be fascinating, and was her texted reason for not having answered for a week; she was away.

His shock, surprise and upset was so big that it reached me like a hammer - which, of course, was the intent of the person involved.

We know better than to go into defense when we are attacked. There are no lives at stake here, and no one is in physical danger. We have learned to strengthen our cores, and use them as refuge in a sense to shield us from assaults like these and others. Yet the surprise was the shock delivery vehicle, and a lesson learned. Semper Paratus, the Coast Guard motto which Larry was trained with means ”always ready” is not active when dealing with loved ones.

I too was quite shocked at the strength of the energy woven into this person’s words, both over the phone and via texts.

Then I remembered that she finishes her days in a haze of alcohol.

And it all fell into place. At least the strength of the power behind the words was explained, not the words themselves which are hers.

The first attack came as a phone call. Larry took it in his stride - he knows better than to engage with others when he’s triggered and upset. And he was very, very shocked and upset.

The next attacks came in the form of texts. He answered, thanking the person for letting him know how they felt and that he would think about his trip. The “gatekeeper” then offered to pay for his entire trip if he travelled alone (not bringing me). This is a typical covert abuse tactic where the person is made to choose between two people he or she loves. And will be highly rewarded if they choose “the right person”.

The texts kept coming, with the same sentence to open the person up at an energetic level - “I am being friendly and caring, I am not going to fight…” then, yes, you got it - she would push the dagger in. The covert narcissism continued.

Of course, in her first ramblings I was an evil person who is here to harm. And the entity attached to this woman is right. My teachings do harm demons, as I do encourage people to stop drinking alcohol or taking recreational drugs. This will bring the person out of their alcoholic fog and usually they will then refuse the demon’s influence. And she knows I discourage alcohol consumption, which for her probably feels like I am negatively judging her. Most alcoholics see the world through a lens of “I, me and myself”, and everything in some way becomes specifically about them.

You have probably heard recovering addicts saying, “I am fighting my demons.” This is not figuratively speaking but is an actual account of what they are doing. At the same time, it is not spiritual bypassing where the person blames powerful external entities for their behavior so that they don’t have to address difficult personal issues. The person does need to do that work also, he or she is nobody’s victim, they receive a big kick of something in return for their possession.

Saying that this woman has demons driving the conflict is not done to minimize her responsibility or actions. She is the one who welcomed those entities and they do feed her and her needs. At the moment, she gets off on drama and conflict, and this situation was just too juicy for her to refuse or leave alone. She has been feeding off it for years now. As the attacks on my person failed, she then started attacking Larry himself, telling him how bad and hurtful he had been the past few months and years.

It has been a long time since these types of negative beings have reached us at any significant level through the people around us. At a superficial level, it is a non-issue. Words like these have come before from other people, and they wash off and are quickly discarded and forgotten.

In the case of these relatives, the attack repeats again, at an amplified level. This is called psychological abuse through emotional manipulation and covert narcissism. As Larry did not “react appropriately” in these people’s eyes by defending me or attacking them, he became the alleged bad person and aggressor.

The abuser, having failed to be acknowledged as a victim and their invitation to drama completely refused, then tried to get their emotional feed by moving her aggressor projection onto Larry himself.

These types of abusive behaviors only work with people who deeply care for the psychological abuser, as the entry to the attack is love itself.

This is the way it works: the people it works on have to be close at an emotional, loving level.

So, what do we do when these demonic beings come through an open door of love? Do we stop loving the person? Do we stop contact with them? Do we go and fight? Do we try to save them?

We are in charge of how we feel. Other people and beings, including demons, can attack, try to influence, and try to goad us into a drama filled with food for them. But we are ultimately the ones who are responsible - have the ability to respond - within our own emotional, mental, and other bodies.

What Larry did was to stop. He stopped answering because it became obvious that the answers, which were conciliatory, were not what these people wanted. Yet the feelings within Larry were still running strong, so the next step was to process those feelings. My exercise “Fear Processing Exercise” is excellent for processing upset, anger, and frustration too, so that’s the next step.

Step two is to process those nasty, sticky energies from our emotions and minds. And the step after that is to do something completely different. We are on that step now, and we will discuss what that looks like on our podcast.

One of the things that negative entities - including people - cannot continue their abuse under is disclosure. If the drama and abuse happen behind closed doors, in secret and confidential agreements, the abuser thrives. By shining the light of disclosure and pointing the eyes of the universe toward the abuser, they shrink and are not able to continue. I didn’t come up with this piece of enlightened wisdom, “sunlight as disinfectant” is a common psychological phrase used in narcissism recovery circles.

This situation brought some reality to what many lightworkers are going through these days. It is easy to forget how the dark side of the light/dark paradigm can affect us when most of our interactions are with people who are awake and high-frequency.

If you find yourself being goaded into a victim/aggressor cycle by family or close friends pushing on your love buttons, remember the steps:

* Become aware that this is an invitation to feed the beast.

* STOP

* Process any sticky, nasty feelings, energies, and thoughts.

* Do something else entirely.

What you don’t want to do is step into the “victim identity.” This aligns with the concept of “learned helplessness” in psychology. Nor the aggressor. When a person falls into the aggressor is also well known in psychology. It is called Reactive Abuse (also called provoked aggression or coercive provocation). We don’t play those games. It’s not for you, this battle, for you have chosen a new paradigm of joy-light-love and inspiration.

If we were to consider our conscious awareness of the world to be as big as the point of a pin, then the work of sacred plants would be to show us nuances present in and around that pin.

To belittle reality, consciousness, awareness, and altered states of perception is not what I am doing here. That’s not my job. Bringing a semblance of what we are actually facing, that is my job.

Who put us on this pin? Well, we did, of course. Why?

You know, it has been 60 years since I entered this pin and I still don’t know why we chose such a thing. However, I can tell you that for a while there, I thought the pin was the entire Universe, all of reality, and that humans in this section of the pintop were the only intelligently sentient beings that existed.

As I was trying to put words to my thoughts, Larry played a song on his computer. He played it very, very loud, and it was a country song he had “made for me” using an AI.

I am not unaware enough to think that this was a “coincidence”. Sometimes, no, all the time, the human collective will steer and dictate where and what is shared about the nature of reality. So, although I had planned to write an in-depth and thorough exploration of the true nature of reality and what sacred plants' role is within our human experience, I will instead “stay on point” and talk about why a person from our modern society decides he or she might become a plant worker. These plant workers call themselves lots of things - “curandero,” “ritualist,” “shaman,” “plant shaman,” etc.

But what they call themselves is not that important apart from the nuances of what the label expresses to their clients.

In my experience, I have seen plants have a very good grasp of what is not only on the tip of the pin but also on the entirety of the pin. They then go out and find people - workers - who will take them into the world and allow them to touch as many people as possible - the clients.

The worker was usually, but not always, a client of a different worker at some point. And the plant is the one that recruits, not the different worker, to whom it will assign the work of bringing a larger viewpoint of reality to the masses.

I am always curious as to what makes a person follow the path of the sacred plant. And I am also curious as to what makes a person drop that path altogether, or drop the particular plant that had recruited him or her in the first place, in choice of another.

In our podcast, DrivingToTheRez.com, we have an interview with one such person. His insights and reasons for the work are unique to himself, of course, but they are still interesting as a journey of expansion of awareness within the world he moves and experiences life. The interview is in the Wisdom Keeper Hour, so if you want to hear it, do subscribe to it.

In the first hour, Larry and I discuss some of the details behind the decision to become a plant worker or reject the invitation wholeheartedly.

Larry has the skills, the lineage, the intuition, and the connection to become a plant worker, but he turned it down. Tune in to find out why. 🙂

Healing has become a big topic for me in the past few months.

I have seen a return to the healing lineages of my ancestors and the direct orchestration of healing and healers coming together to practice their skills.

When I looked at 2024, for the light side of the split, I saw that healing was going to enter our awareness and lives strongly this year, but it still took me by surprise when my own healing skills popped up again to be utilized. I have been diligent in making sure that they stayed unfocused since 2010 as it was made very clear to me that my public role was not as a healer, but as educator.

In September 2024, I will be holding a Healers’ Workshop at the Shamanshack. The workshop will be open for WalkWithMeNow.com members only and has a minimum attendance number of 8 people, and maximum of 33 people. If you are interested in attending, join the student body at walkwithmenow.com, and follow the information on how to register there.

Back to our topic, the Forest.

Larry and I live in the Olympic Rain Forest. Not in a town nearby, or a road by the side of the forest. We literally live inside the forest, surrounded by hundreds of acres of both old growth and tree farms.

Some years ago, one of our friends visited us. She was an established healer at a nearby city at the time and, unbeknownst to me, she was having health and personal issues herself.

We went for a hike into the forest. I wanted to show her a natural altar which Larry, myself and other friends and students had embellished with crystals, rocks and other pretty things. The hike to get to the altar was about half an hour long. We walked and talked about our latest happenings, previous lives memories, aliens, sasquatch and all the other things that are normal conversation among our friends here.

At some point, halfway there, she stopped, took a few deep breaths and tears welled in her eyes. “I haven’t felt this good in years,” she stated.

“I had heard of the healing properties of the forest,” she continued, “but had never experienced it myself. It was all theoretical to me until now.”

She then revealed to me that apart from her life’s stresses, there was an underlying medical condition that had been getting worse. She said that it felt like the condition was actively being healed during our hike, and that she would get some lab work done when she got home, to be sure.

I nodded and looked around at the forest. I had never heard of such a thing as the forest being a healing modality, but my friend was a professional healer and more informed than I was about healing modalities and experiences.

The forest didn’t feel any different to me. It was the same as it had always been, just there, breathing, living, beautiful, bright, pristine and, very much, sentient.

I closed my eyes and tapped into it, and asked the forest around us about the healing. What I got back was an energy that I can only describe as “what is healing?”

After my friend left, I did a bit of research on the internet and found several theories of how the healing force of a forest works. But, I have met plenty of locals, who also live in the forest, that are not exactly healthy. I understood, from my own healing knowledge, that it is not enough to be in the forest, or go to a healer, or take supplements, to have spontaneous or gradual healings. I understood that there was more to it than that. And it involves a healing story, perhaps a healer, and perhaps a modality that the person respects and has good effects on him or her.

My friend got back to me a few weeks later and told me that her suspicions were right, that the tests had come back and that her condition was in remission. She also told me that after our visit, she had taken some radical life decisions which removed many stressors from her daily life.

“The forest healed more than just my body,” she told me.

In a recent healing story, for a different person, the wisdom of my ancestors came in again. It hadn’t made an appearance for decades, but there it was. On the day of the healing, I woke up with the knowledge I had from childhood, that for the healing to be effective, I had to clear my energy field, body and mind to be absolutely pristine. And I understood. The forest, especially a loved forest, has a pure and pristine energy. And behind that pristine energy, there is unlimited life force, power and intelligence. A person, a human, can then direct that power with intent.

In my novel series, The Return, I speak about how we and trees and plants are part of the same species. That where there are humans, flora exist. And where there is flora, humans exist. Our intelligence is very similar, also. As is our true, natural, frequency.

Recently, a scientific study came out telling of how plants are highly related, at a genetic level, to humans. A percentage and relationship that was much higher than previously thought.

I smiled, looked outside my window, into the forest, and winked.

It winked back.

It’s not burnout - it’s growth fatigue. Here’s how to recover and why it happens in the first place.

Many years ago, I wrote an article called “Post Event and Ego Crash Symptoms”. I wrote it after witnessing many of the participants who had come to my events struggling once they returned home.

I did some research and talked to other teachers and guides who hold events, and this seemed to be a universal phenomenon. Not everyone would have a crash, but many people did, and it didn’t matter what type of event it was.

Of course, there are events that are exhausting in a negative way, but that is not what I am interested in here. I am talking about events where people go to receive a lot of positive information, energy, and connections, and then they go home to their regular lives.

Back when I wrote the first article, most people were going home to ordinary routines, and sometimes negative environments. However, these days most people, at least from my events, are going back to very nourishing, supportive, high-frequency lives.

So, what is the deal? I looked at the nature of the “crash” after my June 2025 event, and it appeared to be different. This time, there was a little bit of the ego crash, for sure, but mostly it was an overall “pleasant soreness, exhaustion”, very similar to what a person gets after a marathon or cramming for exams.

Looking at it from a mechanical point of view, it was completely understandable. The event itself was aimed at growing, stretching, and strengthening our Core Self, our Endobody, our Magical Body, and it gave our mental body a run for its money. In other words, it was incredibly packed with data for the mental body.

A week later, the symptoms are finally dissipating. The advice for this phenomenon is to rest, but not to stay in bed day after day. Our physical bodies are the champions in this situation. If we make ourselves get out of bed or off the chair and do physical activities that don’t rely on the mind, emotions, ego, or energy bodies, we recover much faster than if we simply retreat to bed and shut the door to the world.

Another aspect that some of the participants reported was that during the event, their energy fields, body, mind, ego, and emotional bodies were all wide open and receptive so when they found themselves traveling home or dealing with negative life situations, they were hit hard by the contrast. But no worries, they knew exactly what to do with that oopsy:

* They became aware of it

* Stop

* Process any sticky negativity

* Then did something else instead

By the way, these same steps are also useful for dealing with negative situations or thoughts that fill us with necrotic (destructive and deadly) energy. We will have a full lecture on this aspect of the light/dark paradigm soon, including how to address what we may have already absorbed.

P.S. Feeling like you got hit by a high-frequency truck after an event? That’s just your soul doing crunches. Come laugh (and learn) with us at DrivingToTheRez.com where Larry, myself and the Wisdom Keepers share our post-event experiences and what we did about them.

Once, and these days two or three times a year, I will host a live, in-person event. It used to be that I offered these events on my mailing list, Facebook page, Instagram, and other social websites. But a few years ago, I announced it in my Wisdom Keepers and Wisdom Seekers platform WalkWithMeNow.com (WMMN), and it was sold out within a few days.

It goes without saying that I didn’t post that event on my social media after it was sold out at WWMN. After that experience, I now only announce my in-person events on my wisdom keeper platform. You see, a most amazing aspect of this level of participation in that first WWMN only event was that it was incredibly high-frequency, mature, amazing and filled with expansive and clarifying questions that brought the data to a new level of bandwidth and perception. Having people who have studied my material already, and are actively using the tools (not exclusively, there’s lots of other teachers and tools in their personal lives), makes a huge difference to live events.

Even so, it used to be that one in-person event a year was enough for me. It was a very hard thing for me to organize, carry the weight of the event, deal with the “staff” ego crashes, triggers and reactions, organize food, hold the energy of the event, and bring in all the information.

However, some years ago I opened up a mentorship program in WMMN and several people took it up. After they graduated, I opened up the possibility to be trained as mystics. Four people took me up on that journey and four years later, they graduated. For the last couple of years, they have been training and learning how to work together.

I am mentioning this because they are now direct co-creators of my in-person events. They carry some of the energetic weight, but also organize food, exercise, and other things. Kara has also stepped up to organize and manage the entire thing at the level of registration, materials, payments, and management. Shout out to Kara!

Quite honestly, if she hadn’t taken on the entire organization, management, planning and execution, including recording the lectures for later release, organizing and printing of material, setting up the packs, I would not be doing live events. The things that happen behind the scenes make a huge difference :)

In other words, two major things changed with my in-person events. One was that now I only announce it in my wisdom keeper platform, WWMN, so that I don't have to start from basic items and can go straight for the advanced material, and the other is that there are four mystics carrying the weight of the events. So, shout out for the other three mystics who’s cooking and organizing exercises bring the events to the next level, Ashley, Iliana and Larry!!

Larry and Iliana carried the food prep and distribution during the event. We had amazing food, not just delicious but life affirming and wholesome. We eat a lot of deliciousness during our events! Yes, the food was extraordinary.

Ashley is a professional yoga instructor and both her and Iliana are body movement professionals. They took care of an important aspect of my events, which is physical exercise and movement before lectures.

All four provided the field of high-frequency responsive energy which supported all participants as they broke through into new fields of awareness, perception and knowledge. Allowing me the possibility to host more than one event every twelve months.

Thanks to the Olympic Peninsula Mystics, the lectures I delivered in the latest event were extremely packed and intense. Lots of new information was able to be shared and was checked and received by each participant before applying it to their bodies and daily living in a safe and highly supportive environment.

After the event, we hosted four free days of opt-in activities in the area. We live in paradise and wanted to share the beauty and magic which has become our everyday experience with the participants, some of whom travelled from across the world to be here. This gave the participants the ability to connect with each other, the land here, and gave them time to integrate the information in a supportive, unrushed way before making their way home.

In our podcast, Driving To The Rez, Larry and I go into more detail about what our experience was during the event this year, and we have the good fortune of our podcast panelists interviewing several participants to see what their experience was like. For the deepdive, unedited and honest look into the participant experience and revelations of the event, you can subscribe to our Wisdom Keeper Hour at our podcast page DrivingToTheRez.com

By the way, the event this year was “The Nature of Reality Lectures Series 2025”. It builds upon “Create Your Own Reality ~ Rules of Engagement” and “The New Paradigm Entry Rules and Regulations”. Keep an eye on my emails for the online lecture releases in the next few months.

I know you can relate to being unheard. And I know you have said, or held back from saying, “I told you so,” millions of times in your life. Why do I know these things?

I know these things because as awakened light-beings, we can see more than others can and this causes our advice to often be dismissed (usually because there is no physical proof of what we are seeing), or we are totally misinterpreted. In other words, we say one thing, but something else is heard by the person or people we are talking to. They hear something that is within their own paradigm of reality. For example, I remember telling Larry to drill a new well for the Shamanshack because Gaia said we will need it. Did he listen? No, he said, “well, it’s raining a lot now. We never used to have dry well issues, probably it was just a fluke that one year plus we used too much water gardening, we will be fine if we stay water aware if it gets dry again.” Yep, logic says he’s right. Didn’t turn out that way though. The Shamanshack had no water for months last summer no matter how careful we were.

You would think this would have taught him to listen when I tell him to fix a well, but no. This winter I got strong guidance to set up a new water well system for our home, but did he listen? No. “It’s fine, our well didn’t dry up last year and for the filtering system there’s no hurry. We can do it later in the year.” I insisted it had to be done during the winter, but he just said, “it will be fine. Don’t worry about it.” I sat back and let the pieces fall where they may. As I am writing this, we have no water at home. We had to bring in a tank of water from the Shamanshack for showers and dishes.

One of the interesting aspects of the latest well situation is that when I saw it coming my body would fall into fear, but as I looked directly, the words that would come were, “Gaia wouldn’t send us to live here on top of this hill if she was then going to shut off our water.”

As I sat with this knowledge, I realized that the present crisis was brought about to fix the system before summer arrives. It feels to me that this summer the water would indeed stop completely if we didn’t change the system now. I smiled as I saw that I can go unheard, but Gaia knows how to get through to Larry and isn’t going to let it seriously impact me. It may just be more work for Larry since he didn’t listen earlier.

It is also true that the great majority of my readers, yes you, are here to lead in the New-Paradigm into experienced reality. You are leaders of your family, friends, groups and some of you have tens of thousands of readers, audience and students, in your own right.

What a strange and fascinating co-creation this is where the people that were brought in by the human collective, us, go unheard and misunderstood.

But we are not passive about it. When we are unheard or misunderstood, we can quickly change direction and say the same thing using different words, or try other tricks until the idea we are trying to convey gets understood.

It is very different when we are not heard at all. Unheard and not heard at all, are different things. When you are unheard, you are physically heard but the thing they hear isn’t acted upon. Not heard at all is completely invisible, silent, nothing gets through.

How do we overcome the situation when we say or repeat something many times, but it goes unheard? We change our words, we change the frequency, even change the people we say the words to sometimes. Nothing.

Moving through the world unheard has been the story of my life. Even with thousands of readers, most of what I discuss and explore goes unheard. And when it’s heard, it’s often, like I described above as a common denominator for most of us, it is misunderstood. Only a small fraction of the ideas and data that I convey gets heard and correctly interpreted, or even retained. Plus, of course, by now I was supposed to have millions of readers, not thousands. That means that my words are completely invisible to the majority of the people I have been tasked with reaching.

On a more personal level, I often see situations or complications coming our way and I tell people around me about them, but nothing gets done. And then, it’s too late.

One solution, of course, is to do the things myself. But that’s a lot of things, and not all are things I feel comfortable doing.

Another solution is to let things fall apart, the situation or crisis to arrive, and let the pieces fall where they may. And then, have the satisfaction of saying, “I told you so”.

At physical and personal level, and sometimes emotional level, there is some discomfort when I go unheard.

However, when it happens continuously, and at a global scale, it becomes rather heavy at an energetic level.

When I was super young, I would scream and shout and get very frustrated as I went unheard. When I was a teenager, I learned that being unheard was a normal aspect of life, so I released the frustration and sighed instead, and I learned to roll my eyes out loud. I also thoroughly enjoyed saying, “I told you so.”

As I grew older, I simply repeated things, a thousand times over, and then once more. Sometimes I will find another author or teacher who is saying the same thing with different words, and push them forward into people’s minds. This will occasionally yield good results.

Recently, however, I have started to “feel unheard” again. It has been quite a surprise for me. With it, a feeling of tiredness and frustration. And behind that, a feeling of wanting to give up.

Now, with that last thought came a big clue on why this is so up in my face right now. You see, we are in a split. And during this split our job, yours and mine, is to hold the light at all times. Not to pick it up for twenty minutes a day while we meditate, or when we don’t have a headache, or when we aren’t at work, but at all times. And if we don’t, then any tiny bit of low-frequency bundle we might carry with us will get blown up out of proportion.

As soon as I identified this bundle of suppressed frustration, I did the Stress Relief Exercise on it, but instead of using the words “stress” I used the words “I feel unheard”.

Wow! That was eye opening. A barrage of programs, firewalls and traumas came bursting out. It changed the dynamic of my work completely. And brought huge relief around being heard and being misunderstood.

Immediately I took to the keyboard to share this with you. I know this is a common problem among us, and know that the energy in the world right now is crackly and explosive.

And I know that it is time we are heard and correctly understood.

Let’s do this!

One of the early lessons we learned from starting and running WalkWithMeNow.com (WWMN), a platform dedicated to Wisdom Keepers and Seekers who are actively studying my material (albeit not exclusively), is that a clear set of rules and regulations were paramount for its success.

I went into a meditative state and wrote out various things I wanted us to interact with and within the parameters that felt resonant to what I wanted to experience while interacting with other people. Especially with those people who were studying my material.

After a few years, it felt to me that the group had matured enough in frequency and wisdom to be able to review and revisit our rules of engagement. We discussed each point in great depth, changed some, deleted some and added some.

I am sharing with you what we ended up with after two more reviews. These are the present Rules of Engagement for WWMN that I hope will help you to form a basis for your own groups and platforms.

As a matter of interest, we have used these rules as the basis for various other groups we have formed, not all related to study or wisdom keeping. Enjoy!

Mapping: We learn 100% of what we guide others to know. Each of us has had doors opened to us that are unique to our own journey. There are an infinite amount of doorways and an infinite amount of knowledge available to us.

Co-Creation: Co-Creation is the art of many working together as One. It differs from cooperation. Cooperation is a voluntary arrangement in which you engage with others in a mutually beneficial exchange. Co-Creation entails removing the personal self from the equation and allowing the highest frequency human collective expression to flow through us so that the high frequency human collective guides the group’s activities. We hope that you will be fully active regarding your empowerment, learning and growth here at WalkWithMeNow.

6) Please note that the forum is private. No verbiage should be copied and published outside of the forum. Respect the privacy of your fellow members.

7) Think before you post. In today's internet culture it is easy to write before we really consider what we are about to say or to write simply to be seen. The energy of WalkWithMeNow is extremely refined. Please treat the forum, therefore, as a sacred space. We ask you to deal strictly with the subject matter of each topic. Read the entire thread before you post, sit with your post before you add it, keep your posts to a minimum, and bring to the forum only what is absolutely necessary. For casual social interaction, we invite you to use the member run Talkwithmenow Telegram group. This group’s rules of engagement are very similar to those of WalkWithMeNow. When you leave WWMN please remove yourself from TWMN. Any member banned from WalkWithMeNow will also be banned at TWMN.

8 ) We also have a no aggravation policy. This is connected with all the points above. We want to keep our focus on the overall community and to co-create this as a harmonious and joyous place. As we said: a sacred space. If it becomes obvious that someone is only causing trouble, or has a constant demand for attention from the staff or the platform members, they will be asked to go. This is our choice to focus and expand what is great about WalkWithMeNow.

9) Anyone involved in actively indulging in the victim/aggressor cycle , attacking or accusing others, and generally invalidating, belittling or insulting other members either in the forum, via personal messages, Second Life, or in member run study or telegram groups, will receive three warnings and then be banned from the WalkWithMeNow platform. For serious infractions and attacks, the person will be banned instantly.

10) If you have had negative interactions with a certain person, please share this with the staff. Transparency and Clarity are a key component of this community. It also helps the staff know if there are patterns occurring within the community, and can thus address situations better.

11) Do remember that this is not a "support group" but an active co-created, learning, studying and expansion of awareness group. There is one Category where you can request personal support for harsh or difficult situations and events in your life. Please use the tools suggested in the responses to your post. Your post will be closed once you stop updating it, or no one has posted in it for a month. Most "personal support" threads will be deleted when a person leaves WalkWithMeNow unless the thread is considered useful for others to map to.

12) The rules of engagement for Member Run Study Groups are posted in each group thread on the forum. Please read these carefully before you join each study group.

This has indeed been an interesting week. To begin with, a lot of clarity has been coming my way about the nature of the split, the light/dark paradigm, the light-paradigm and the dark-paradigm.

The plays on our experience, the way in which the dark side reacts to light impinging into their realms, and how things can go when meeting and working with folk who have a foot on each side of the light - dark split.

I was meditating on the meaning of Walkwithmenow.com (WWMN). For those of you who don’t know, WWMN is my online platform. It is dedicated to wisdom seekers and keepers, a way to directly interact with the individuals on the known Earth who are fearless, authoritative, strong in their independent, sovereign path, and have a strong sense of mission.

The team and I have had to overcome a mountain of firewalls, limiting programs and untold barriers to not just form WWMN in 2014, but also to keep it going for the past 11 years.

I didn’t want to form WWMN to begin with, but I did it as a leap of faith at the request of our larger awareness, the human collective.

“Well,” I thought, “if the human collective thinks we are ready for an incorruptible group, I will surely give it a go.”

If the thought of WWMN insults you in any way, or makes you afraid that it is a cult (laugh), run. Unsubscribe, remove yourself from my list and my field of awareness.

If you are still reading, wondering why I would not just write that sentence above, but fill it with mystical force (did you feel it?) then here is the reason: WWMN is not created for or by victim minded individuals. If a person puts me or calls me a cult leader, pushing all their victim/aggressor energy upon me, then they are the person I have zero interest in. That person does not believe in independent thought, sovereign power, mature awareness, or the capacity for wisdom keepers continuing to seek wisdom and banding together to create the new Al-Andalu on the Earth. They do not believe in the human collective’s choice of a new reality upon this Earth.

Of course when I say Al-Andalu I am not just talking about the Iberian regions controlled by the muslims in the 1700s. I am talking about something different that is often scrubbed from our historical education and records. For a while, just south Castilla in modern Spain, and spanning across all of the Iberian peninsula were cities where education, art, engineering, alchemy and all forms of human innovation and growth was encouraged and protected. It didn’t matter if you were a Druid, Celt, Christian, Muslim, or what race or color your skin was, you were able to live in harmony with others of the same inclination of discovery and expansion of awareness in safety.

How long this construct lasted, and what was achieved within it is a matter of record, albeit hard to find records on forgotten libraries within cities and towns in the geographical region where it once existed. How the experiment of this face of Al-Andalu ended was in blood and destruction. Yet, it left an energy behind, a spirit, one might think, of how things could be among those people who saw beyond small matters of race or religion and united in the spirit of human innovation, art and progress.

WWMN is no Al-Andalu. No. It is only a seed, whereas Al-Andalu was a forest. This seed, however, is powerful and spans the entire Earth. My and my team simply provides water, food for thought, and light, and the seed grows.

But, we need to grow from one seedling into a forest. That is why I invite you to join others of your ilk at WWMN and begin to be counted. You can stay a lone wolf, independent in thought and action and, at the same time, be part of something greater than the sum of its parts.

The classes I have released in the past ten years, as well as thousands of insights and explorations of reality in the forum, as well as other high-caliber men and women to study and explore reality with, is all within my platform. All available to you from day one.

If you are in any way afraid that I am inviting you over here to exploit you, don’t join because you are still carrying the programs of victimhood which are not compatible with the nature of my teachings. Do you feel manipulated by my words thinking I say them to create FOMO and a challenge? No, I am not doing that. I literally feel you are better served elsewhere. My teachings and my platform are not for you. If my words made you giggle and clearly understood where I am coming from, welcome! I can’t wait to meet you in person.

This week, on DrivingToTheRez.com, Larry and I will be talking to two of our Second Hour panelists Dr. Kara, and Ash, as they meet up with other WWMN members in no other than the land where the mystical, magical Al-Andalu existed all those centuries ago. Let’s see what these mystics have to say about their trip, their meetings with online friends, co-explorers of reality, powerful and high-caliber individuals, and the conclusions they have come up with regarding the unification of wisdom seekers and keepers, sovereign individuals across the world.

I am not actually sure if there is anyone on Earth who is not self-absorbed. Anyone with an ego will have some degree of self absorption. I did a quick internet search on the words “self absorbed” and all the results came back with detailed advice on how to deal with self-obsessed people, how terrible they are and how you must run away from them if you meet one.

Despite that, I have yet to meet someone who is not at least partially centered on their own self, life, priorities, work, relationship, body, experiences and the like. So, who are all these articles talking about?

I scratched a little more and found out that the words, “self-centered/absorbed”, are also used to describe mental illnesses where a person no longer sees, perceives, or cares about others at all. In other words, a person who is solely, and only concerned about their own feelings, thoughts, experiences, body, mind, etc., to the detriment of others. Other words that describe them are narcissistic, egocentric, self-serving, vain, self-indulgent, severely depressed, or conceited.

Although, to be fair, there are also plenty of articles and papers describing self-obsession as an individual who will turn any and all conversations to be about themselves without any mention of a mental illness but just as a quirk in personality.

Do you turn all conversations to be about you? Possibly, but maybe not at a conscious level. And probably not exclusively, but perhaps yes, exclusively. Let’s try a test:

* When someone is talking, are you interested in their story or are you waiting for a gap in their barrage of words to get in and tell them your experience in similar situations?

* Do you ask someone how they are doing so that when they stop talking you can tell them about your day?

* Is everyone around you, who opens their mouth to speak, tell you extremely boring stuff?

* Are you concerned with your personal growth and enlightenment?

* Are you a lone wolf?

* Did you try the whole, “service for others” gig and found it to be BS? And figured you had to take care of Numero Uno first?

* Do you feel lonely?

* Do you continuously interrupt your loved ones to show them funny/interesting stuff you found on the internet after hours of surfing and scrolling?

* Do you mostly find conversations about your own life and self to be the most fascinating?

* Have you given all to others and now it is time for yourself?

* Do you believe that your 9-5 job has to be fulfilling, satisfying and something you feel passionate about?

Eleven questions that will indicate how self-absorbed you are. If you got all 11 to be yes, then you are 100% self-absorbed. 9 questions is 90 something %... etc..

Like all questionnaires, the percentages are nonsensical and limited to the questionnaire and not really translatable to real life. However, the above list does give a reasonable indication of where you are at with regards self-absorption. Let’s take a look to see what this means when it comes to being a high-frequency being constructing the new paradigm.

Well, the New Paradigm does not really create itself with self-absorption. In other words, it is not compatible with self-absorbed programs you may be running. Here is a little story that illustrates what I mean:

The Shamanshack outdoor walls needed painting. I grabbed a can of paint, a brush, a roller, found a wall that was in the shade and started painting. After about an hour, and a good percentage of the wall painted, one of the contractors walked past me. He stopped and said, “wow you must love painting.”

“Why do you say that?” I asked.

“Because you do it so well! That’s the best paint job I’ve seen in years. You must be passionate about it, and love doing it.”

I felt into myself and found that in fact, I did not like painting walls at all.

“No,” I answered, “I don’t like it at all.”

“Why are you doing it then?”

“Because it needs doing. But now that I found out I don’t like doing it, I am going to stop.”

I handed him the brushes and walked away.

Without the awareness that “I needed to like something to do it well, or at all” there was no discomfort or question about painting the walls that needed painting. Once he made it about me, and why the only reason to do it was that I needed to like it, I wasn’t able to do it anymore. If I continued, then the energies of martyrdom, frustration and anger would enter my field of emotional body.

As I walked away, he walked to the wall and started painting. Later on I checked the work and it was so bad, it had to be done again. By him. I told him, “you don’t have to like doing something to do it well. I believe in you. You’ve got this.” (Made it about him). He fixed the painting and did it well.

This little story is here to illustrate how a culture and society of self-absorbed individuals is created and how they are manipulated into doing things they don’t want to do. Have you ever heard someone say, “do what brings you joy and passion.” The likelihood is that a person could find very good work if they never had the requirement that external items were needed for their happiness. Happiness is an emotion and emotions are fleeting. If we look at work that is something geared for the satisfaction and happiness of the group you belong to, including yourself, and not something that needs to satisfy you and only you, the whole world opens up with possibilities.

When I was little, my grandmother, who was in her mid 80s at the time, was brushing the floor in a long corridor at my auntie’s house. My auntie walked in from work and asked in a loud voice, “mom! What are you doing with that brush?”

My grandmother looked at her and said, “I don’t understand the question.”

My auntie went into a lecture about how my grandmother’s welfare and wellbeing was more important than the floor and that she should stop immediately and sit and rest. That my grandmother had done enough work in her life already. In other words, my auntie was making the situation about herself, her own failings to keep a clean house. She felt bad that my grandmother was cleaning the floor.

For my grandmother, the floor was dirty, therefore it needed cleaning and anyone asking her what she was doing with the brush was being nonsensical. The important thing in my grandmother’s mind was to have clean floors for the family. Not that she was in her mid 80s and that it was not her job to make it happen.

The sad part of this story is that my grandmother did sit down, to make her daughter happy, and never got up again. My auntie, years later, told me that her biggest mistake in life had been to tell her mother she was not to do any work anymore. That her mother had lost her will to live after that and had gotten sick.

Self-absorption is a learned mechanism of disempowerment and highly disabling to a high-frequency society and co-creation of the Universe. Learn more about it and take steps to moderate or even remove it from your personality, no matter how little you have of it.
