Sedona has always been a very sacred place for me. When I made my first visit in 2008 for a three-day workshop, I felt a deep, ancient connection with Sedona, the Red Rock Canyons, and the surrounding area. I made several spiritual trips to Sedona between 2008 and 2011. It became the place I would go to for my soul quest personal ceremonies when I felt stuck in my life. In 2011, I moved to Sedona for a short time, as I started a new life venture. I quit my full-time day job and shifted my part-time spiritual healing practice to a full-time business.
One of the vortex locations I love in Sedona is Cathedral Rock. I have had many deep, spiritual visitation experiences while on Cathedral Rock. A few days after moving to the Village of Oak Creek outside Sedona I made a hike to Cathedral Rock. The night before, I was feeling the call to make the hike to Cathedral Rock; it felt more like a spiritual call that I was hearing loud and clear. You just can’t ignore those requests when you are feeling and hearing them.
Tuesday morning, I headed out early, hiking cross-country from where I was living to the base of Cathedral Rock and planned to climb up to the plateau that overlooks the canyons. I had made this hike many times before moving to Sedona. This was an exciting new beginning in my life but I was doing some very deep, painful healing and evolving deeper into my spiritual path. I knew this hike and being out in nature was the best thing for me. As I made my way to the base of Cathedral Rock, walking along the path through the woods, I could feel a deep frequency stirring inside me, very much like a presence.
From time to time, I felt the presence of a woman, who was saying, “Stay connected with your heart as you walk the earth inside your soul.” Every time I heard these words, I stopped and felt the centering of the frequency that was present. It was very healing, loving and heart-opening.
After making my way to the base of Cathedral Rock, it was time to climb the side of the rock to the first plateau. I thought it was odd there was nobody there climbing the rock on this morning as in the past, it had always been very busy. I began the second part of the journey of climbing up the rock.
As I was climbing, I heard a muffled whisper once in a while, saying, “Goddess!” There was a word after goddess I couldn’t quite hear or make out. Again, the words had a very strong frequency with them that I could feel inside my body.
I was anxiously excited to get to the plateau. It was a bit of a climb since I was still getting used to the elevation difference from where I previously lived. I finally made it to my destination, and as always, the views were breathtaking. There was only one other person on the plateau and they left shortly after I arrived. Just as they left, the wind picked up in a strange way; it would suddenly stop and start again. I decided to lean up against one of the rocks and enjoy the experience of the views and energy. I decided to close my eyes for a moment. Shortly after closing my eyes, I heard the hoot of an owl; I opened my eyes, but nothing was there. I closed my eyes once again, and I heard the sound of an object hitting the ground in front of me, like a stick. I opened my eyes; again, I didn’t see anything but I felt the frequency of the ground shaking underneath my feet. The frequency traveled up in my body to the top of my head. It was peaceful with a feeling of compassion bursting through my heart. I felt calm and in a somewhat altered state of consciousness.
Through my third eye, I saw a transparent white owl manifesting in front of me. The owl was hooting. Then, a woman holding a medicine stick manifested right in front of me. The medicine stick was fascinating; it had an owl carved on the top of it, with a quartz crystal on top of the owl’s head. She was stamping it into the ground, which was making the open frequency I was feeling under my feet and in my body. Her eyes were crystal blue, like a clear lake. She had a strong warrior presence and a deep long stare through her eyes.
After a short time, she said, “I am Athena!” The sound of her voice vibrated through my heart and body.
Excerpt of the Warrior Goddess Athena’s message…
“You are not here at this time on this sacred land for the reason you think. Do not waste time, because you will not be here long on this sacred geographic land. Pay very close attention to what you are experiencing within your time here. Let the land show you the past, the now, and the future. Not in chronological order, but in all directions of time, sacred son. The red mountains are your ancestors, elders, guides, and teachers. Lay upon the red mountain rocks and be silent, listen to their movement and frequency. Let your body sink into the rocks, feel the separation of the physical and spiritual source and the parting of the oneness as you sink into the core of the sacred knowledge. You will remember their medicine way, for you were one with the ceremony on this land in another time. Pay attention to the ways of the medicine; you will be tested through initiation with the shamanic star elders. I will be helping and watching over you.”
The messages we receive about our destiny path for humanity do not always arrive in order, further illuminating nothing in nature is created in a straight line. The unfolding of our destiny path arrives in all directions like the medicine wheel. Athena’s message arrived through me in February 2011 and the initiation took place 2 years after that; I transitioned to the work she was speaking of in late 2015.
When we stop looking for the steps, the how, the why, and when will it happen, the unfolding appears as we experience the wisdom and knowledge frequency through the spiritual heart. This will take you into the path of your destiny for humanity, instead of continuing to be in search of your human life purpose. We are all here for humanity, not through thinking, but through the power frequency and presence of infinite love.
Love & infinite grace,
Eddie
