"Angels
transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact Angels have no religion as we know it...
Their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on Earth." St Thomas Aquinas
In the book Return of the BirdTribes by Ken Carey it is said "There are many names
for us. We have been called angels, Bird Tribes, higher selves, hoksedas, spirits of the stars. The reality of what we are is
more than a name can convey...". Keeping that in mind - let us say then that the BirdTribes are the Angelic Unified Consciousness that constantly remembers its ultimate kinship with all beings as children of the One Divine Source of All Existences.
So the BirdTribes may be thought of as Angels and yet... the book also makes it clear that there have been human beings throughout history, scattered among all cultures, who shared this consciousness - and that ultimately these 'Angels' are not separate beings from ourselves. In fact the truly human being, the full expression of our potential - is an integration of the apparently separated individual entity with the Angelic consciousness that experiences no separation from the Omnipresent Reality. What we think of as normal human consciousness is actually an evolutionary phase that is ending, for it has served its purpose in teaching us the inevitable result of believing that we are separate from the world and can benefit by exploiting it for our own gain.
It has been said that the Angels envy humans because they have been given the ultimate gift - free will. But there is a deeper story here... for neither 'free will' nor 'Angels', nor even 'human beings', are what they appear to be.
The apparent separation of the human consciousness from the Universal and Omnipresent Consciousness... is not 'real'. However - the intensification of the experience of the illusion of such separation has been the defining characteristic of most of the short span of recorded Human history. As your consciousness evolved and became more intensely self-reflective, you simultaneously became more accutely aware of your apparent separation. This provoked an existential anxiety and obsession with trying to control the apparently separate external reality. This process reached its natural limit as expressed in the most extreme politics and science and art of the last century. Having reached its limit the circle is now swinging back in the other direction - but at a new octave. A new level of awareness is being attained on mass. A new awareness which integrates the experience of individual existence with the knowledge of the ultimate unity.
There is an interesting historical connection between the concepts 'guardian angel', 'daemon', and 'genius'. All these terms were used in antiquity to describe an autonomous and insightful intelligence somehow associated with each human being. Our suggestion is that there is a unique sublime expression of each individual, an archetypal blueprint for each soul if you will, and that it is possible for the incarnate personality to come into profound morphic resonance with its own perfection. This has been known as 'attaining the knowledge and conversation of One's Holy Guardian Angel', or embodying One's true genius. As a fleeting experience it could be called a revelation, but as a sustained state it is another word for Enlightenment.
It is said that the great teachers of Peace throughout the ages have all
been embodiments of the BirdTribe consciousness. On another level - the BirdTribes have been conceptualised as shamanic
archetypes, Thunderbirds, Spirit Eagles, Devas, benevolent extraterrestrials
or extra-dimensionals, higher aspects of humanity, our future selves,
or even the group soul of the Bird kingdom - and they are sometimes all
or any of these things, and yet they are often none of them for as we
have said already - they are not limited by our language and conceptualisation
of them. When they communicate with us, you could say that their voices come from a direction
that we were unaware even existed.
Whether you wrestle with a real Angel or with the concept of an Angel - always persist until they give you the gift of their message !
"You may think of us as the personification of natural forces and laws if you like -
and there will be a certain poetic justice in this
as it is quite similar to the way in which we conceive of you."
The
Bird is the archetypal symbol for the TrueSelf and its freedom
from gravitation and other limitations of the material world.
The 'Language of the Birds" is the language of Reality, the
Music of Light that is the Source of all Meaning. This language
slips through the cracks of the mind as Poetry, Metaphor, and
Imagery that transcend the minds sense of logic and reason.
In many traditions the 'Language of the Birds' is a well known
concept. In
Sufism it is a mystical language of angels. In Celtic mythology
birds usually represent prophetic knowledge. Solomon's proverbial
wisdom was due to his being granted understanding of the language
of birds by God. In renaissance magic and alchemy the language
of the birds was considered a secret and perfect language and
the key to perfect knowledge, sometimes also called the langue
verte, the green language. In Egypt hieroglyphic writing is called
"the alphabet of the birds". St Francis also spoke with
the Birds. In Greek mythology the language of the birds may be
attained by magical means, and Democritus, Anaximander, Apollonius
of Tyana, Tiresias, Melampus and Aesopus were all said to have
understood the birds.
This is what I hear echoing into this moment ...
"To understand us you must realise that we are not separate
from yourself, and that your concepts of space and time, matter
and mind, are just that - concepts. We will communicate with you
through direct inspiration.
Help us to create a Network of people who work together to create
a more peaceful and harmonious world.
As you know - it is primarily the nightmare of the human heart
that is terrorising this world -
help us by bringing through into manifestation tools, information,
and imagery that facilitate Awakening.
What you call sacred geometry is no more than the shadow of our
alphabet. You have learnt to recognise some of the letters, now
begin to learn the words that are woven by the inter-relationships
of these elementary forms.
You will not only hear us more distinctly - you will find a source
of inspiration that is inexhaustible.
This website here is by no means the final expression of our work,
it is merely a stage in the development of a project that will
have consequences beyond your imagination.
We will call others to this work. They will read these words and
know that it is so.
They will take this BirdTribesNetwork Kit - the website package,
the graphics, the music, the information -
and they will add their own gifts so that this flame grows ever
more Beautiful."
"Now the fifth grandfather spoke, the oldest of them all, the spirit of the sky. "My boy," he said, "I have sent for you and you have come. My power you shall see!" He stretched out his arms and turned into a spotted Eagle hovering. "Behold," he said, "all the wings of the air shall come to you, and they and the winds and the stars shall be like relatives. You shall go across the earth with my power." Then the Eagles soared above my head and fluttered their; and suddenly the sky was full of friendly wings all coming down toward me." from the classic 'Black Elk Speaks' Download the whole pdf book for free from here
These
Words are just the feathers
of the Birds that fly between us
Carrying
the letters of Fire from our Souls -
Beloved, do not dream we are apart
though it may seem sometimes so real
there is no distance in our Love.
