Vision in the Trees Summer 2013


I had a vision in the forest of Cypress Hills, a magical place not far from my home which has the special ability to awaken peace in my soul.
During this summer I was often visited by the golden eagle, circling overhead while walking or running in the hills. I love watching them soaring high above, or as they rest in trees along the path, warming themselves in the morning sun.
On my journey I have learned eagles fly close to the sun and through their spirit connection are capable of transmitting messages from the spirit world. This is why I feel it important to mention the eagle. I believe they are a connection to events which happened to me, and this I can feel in their presence.

I always look for them, believing it a blessing to be so close to them. On one of my trips I was lucky enough to find a feather left at the base of a large tree, a treasure to remind me of this special place.
While visiting I sometimes have interesting visions that catch me by surprise. I know when one is approaching because I begin to see spots. This was completely unexpected and new, but also a welcome experience. Each time it began I would immediately stop running, find a quiet spot where I could relax and close my eyes, and would immediately see images of lights which would swirl into a vortex and then become a sort of kaleidoscope.

Diary excerpt—
I had another experience in the woods today, this time as I was leaving the forest. I had stopped at the eerie and as I arrived three eagles flew off and did not return. So I went on my way and just before I came to the end of the trail I started seeing spots. I immediately stopped and closed my eyes while sitting down. Right away I saw three circles of light merging together into one big circle rotating quickly and then fading into black.
Instantly there was another circle of light, though much bigger with the same yellow light. As it rotated, it developed into an image of what looked like the earth. It was shrouded in mist but I could make out North and South America. I don’t know if I can describe it, but it was as though an island appeared and the island was in the centre of the mist. Then the mist began to swirl and the image disappeared and it began to change to a mauve colour.
As it swirled, it resembled an eye and the pupil began to take shape, becoming smaller until it disappeared. This was replaced with a circle of light with a black seed in the center. The seed began sinking into the light, getting smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared. It then reappeared only this time it began to rise, surrounded by a circle of light. As suddenly as it appeared, everything was gone.

At the time I was unsure of the meaning of this map, but today I now see I was being shown locations of interest in my past. I am connected to the as yet unrecognizable island shrouded in mist, as well as the great continents of North and South America.
The eye representing spirit carries the knowledge, falling into the vortex and re- emerging as a seed. The seed represents the possibility of growth from understanding my beginning, the truth of my birth. This symbology therefore connects me to my past. The seed then rises, encircled in the protection of the golden light, takes root and becomes the Tree of Life.

The eagle has for many years been the messenger in my life, its presence of deep significance. I have been blessed to have it appear whenever I call it to me.
