 Animal Spirit

~ Bat ~

 
Bat's internal radar is exceptionally attuned-is yours?  Because Bat medicine is the medicine of transformation, he is asking you to re-examine your life to determine (using all of your senses)  what is worth keeping and what needs to be discarded.  For every death there is rebirth and Bat is here to help you decided what goes and what stays.
 

The Bat

There are different species of bats, which have widely divergent characteristics. Some are small and others are large. With one or two exceptions, the large bats live on fruits and find their way visually. The small bats feed mostly on insects, catching them on the wing by a process known as echolocation in which an animal produces sounds and listens for the echoes reflected from surfaces and objects in the environment. When this medicine is fully developed in man intuitive and clairaudient abilities are accurate. When underdeveloped psychic perception becomes clouded by imaginings of the mind.

Studies on bats found that when they are placed in a refrigerator, they will go into an instant state of hibernation and come out unharmed when they are warmed, which is unique for a warm blooded mammal. This indicates that the life force of the bat is strong and is able to regenerate and replenish it when needed. Those with this medicine also have this ability and would benefit from all types of yogic practices especially those related to awakening the kundalini.

Bat holds the power of adaptability.  Everything about them, senses, feeding, flight, mating and size is suited to their particular environment.  When bat appears in your life its message may be to examine your surroundings to discern what bounty is being offered to you, and then alter your patterns so you can receive it.

An out of balance bat will get scrambled and confused and will fly into things.  Are you crashing into barriers as you try to get what you need and want in life?  If so, bat may be trying to tell you to take a moment to get your bearings and determine the relative importance of what you are seeking.

When bat flies into your life transformation of the ego self  is about to occur.  The old familiar patterns and ideas that have been your truth are about to change. That which once worked for you may no longer.  The process of transformation represents a death and a rebirth.  Bat offers you the wisdom necessary to make the appropriate changes for the birthing of your new identity.

Author Ted Andrews writes that bats have needle like teeth and can sometimes carry rabies.  Rabies is an infectious disease of the blood and can cause a person to go mad.  Fears that are allowed to spread, uninhibited will eventually permeate our system and can create a kind of madness within our lives.  Bats reflect a need to face our fears.

Because the bat is a sociable animal it can indicate a need for more sociability or increased opportunity with greater numbers of people.  It has great auditory perception and can navigate through the dark easily.  Their built in sonar enables them to know what lies beneath the surface.  Those with this medicine have uncanny abilities to discern hidden messages both from people and the environment..

When bat appears it is asking you to surrender yourself to the process of change.  Opportunities unknown to the conscious mind are about to manifest.

Bear
 
    One of the most powerful animal spirits, the bear means healing.  Bear is called medicine bear, and his healing powers come from deep in the quiet waters of the unconscious, the seat of all healing, dreams, and visions.  From that still pool, the bear brings forth your power to heal.
     During bear ritual, we become one with the bear and tap into his ability to heal.  We wear bear skins, and dance inside the bear's body.  The bear is a solitary dancer, aggressive and powerful.  Bears are steeped in ceremony and performance.  The bear shaman's power fills a room and draws people with his charisma.  
     With the power to heal comes the responsibility to tend to whatever is sick.  Bear teaches us to save the animals and their habitats, to heal the earth and ourselves.  When you are the bear shaman, you see out of the eyes of the bear and realize the job before you is immense and important.  The bear teaches us humility and responsibility in healing and being there for the long haul.  Bear brings the energy of the earth to create healing, to create harmony and balance in your life.
     Bear goes through periods of hibernation, periods of solitary power, when that immense, slumbering body is a full presence in the spirit world.  Bear migrate, circle the landscape, move across huge distances, travel,  and explore.  Bear creates and holds sacred space.  The bear shaman is one of the most powerful healers of the medicine wheel, one of the most eloquent teachers of shamanism.
     Bear says, "We know the mountains, the rivers, and the salmon.  We lead you deep into the wilderness.  We are ceremonialist par excellence.  We have done shamanic ceremony long before humans were born.  We invented shamanism."
     Bear is about healing with responsibility.

Bear Attributes

Key Words: Power, strength, solitude, individuality

The Big Picture: When interpreting Bear’s message, it’s necessary to note the details of your experience. Did Bear appear in a dream? Did your experience happen in the wild? How did you feel? How did the Bear act? It’s possible that you need more solitude in your life so that you can save up your energy before moving ahead. Your power and strength at this time must begin within. Explore your own unconscious through dream work, meditation, and generally slow down the pace of your life.

Romance: Bear isn’t an especially good harbinger for romance. But then again, you may not be in the mood for romance either. For now, focus on yourself and trust that romance and love will unfold in its own time.

Finances: Any kind of work that you do in solitude is likely to benefit you financially. It’s possible to earn money now while you travel. In fact, you should consider taking some time off to brainstorm, think, and reshuffle your financial planning.

Work/Career: Events may be moving swiftly at this time, so its important that you center and ground yourself. Be sure about your priorities and goals. Don’t team up with anyone else. Work alone, behind the scenes.

Health: You may have to change your diet and, again the change depends upon the type of bear you encountered. If is was a Polar Bear, then more meat and protein are called for. If it was a Grizzly or Alaskan Brown Bear, more salmon should be added to your diet. If it was a Panda, while we don’t recommend you eat bamboo, you may want to consider a vegetarian diet for a while.

Family: Its important to spend time with your children now. They may be at an age where they need more parental guidance or it may be that you need their youthful energy.

Creativity: Over the next eight months, you’ll come up with several creative projects that are a natural outgrowth of solitude and reflection. To honor your creative voice now, its important that you define your deepest dreams and hopes for the future, and then strive to achieve them

Spirituality: Its time to get back to basics to find your spiritual center. Getting out into the wild will be beneficial and will help you gain perspective on how your spiritual beliefs are changing. Information on this spiritual path will come to you through dreams, meditation, and synchronicities.

Blessings of Synthesis, Harmony and Healing

The Bear Kingdom through Karen Danrich "Mila"
October 2, 2001


The Bear Kingdom has much to say to ascending human initiates. Bear oversees the healing offered by all species upon earth. Each species hold tones or vibrations known as the Language of Light, whether they be plant, animal or mineral in nature. Each species administers tones to those who so choose to connect. Connection with each species can come through the physical contact or seeing such species in nature, or through communing via intent of will. In the contact, each species has the capacity to administer tones that will support one's ascension and aid one in coming to balance.

Each species is global in nature, with global representatives in form on all continents or within the oceans. Most land species have relatives in the oceans that allow for a global physical presence. One may be surprised to understand that Eagle is related to porpoise, which should not be confused with dolphins and whales. Porpoise is a smaller version of dolphin that is not fully conscious at this time, but striving to become so in the attainment of initiations by 2050. Eagle and porpoise work together synonymously for the same purpose, and will give on the same advise and tones if connected to. So this is so for Eagle, so it is also so for each land mammal we will be writing about in this section.

Indeed, horse is related to the Manta Ray kingdom that often appears as large birds or bats flying under the water. Owl is related to the eel kingdom. Many enjoy consuming eel, particularly in sushi restaurants. Indeed this was one of Oa's favorite dishes in recent years and up until he became vegetarian. Little did Oa know that he was receiving blessings that would open and assist him in understanding the unconscious in so doing! And perhaps he required such blessings in order to ascend, and so this was quite useful. It is why all kingdoms will always tell ascending initiates to eat what they crave, until at a certain point in time it no longer serves, as such food will not only provide the nutrients necessary to ascend, but also the wisdom of the related species.

Why do each species upon the land have a related counterpart in the ocean? As the oceans were formed, the animals that were the guardians of the land were unable to manage whatever land lay under the ocean. Over time, and with the seeding of your oceans by the Annanuki, each species chose a related form to manage the energy of the land that the oceans lie upon. The energy between such kingdoms is a united force such that each species can have global presence.

Each species choosing full consciousness upon the land will also choose full consciousness in the water. This is not so for all, but for some. Of those we have written of thus far, Eagle, Horse and Bear along with their related counterparts in the ocean shall all become fully conscious in time. Although there will be two different forms, the purpose for each form will remain the same, and will allow individuated souls and light bodies to be formed therein. Each light body will support earth into the phases of ascension beyond 2050.

Bear unites all species into a rainbow of tones that is global wide. Many of you have read about synthesis, and the synthesis meditation whereby ascending humans may consciously direct their energy flow into a rainbow of colors, from darkest to lightest in tone. In so doing, one has a complete and whole field that is less subject to manipulations from others or the forces of the dark. Earth has an energy field that now extends into your cosmos. It is as all species unite that the cosmic sized field of earth is managed into a rainbow of tones or in other terms, synthesized. Each species contributes to this purpose, and Bear oversees the dance of the whole, assuring that each species is contributing their fair share and that the synthesis is reaching all parts of earth's large auric field.

One can say in this that Bear has great understanding of synthesis as a result. You may call upon bear in assisting in the synthesis of one's field, particularly if one is struggling during a particular segment of initiation. Bear can also command all tones held by Earth at this time into one's field for the purpose of transmutation or healing. Therefore the Bear Kingdom has often been associated with the medicine of healing.

What is medicine? Medicine is a Native American term associated with the kingdoms that have often supported both individuals and tribes in retaining balance. The medicine men and women knew that nature held many keys, and often an ailing human could receive such keys from nature allowing them to return to balance, perhaps recovering from a disease or heartache and depression. Sometimes such keys come through the consumption of a particular herb, or the presence of a part of the form of the kingdom carrying the medicine. This is why Native Americans are so fond of eagle feathers, horse hair, turtle shells, turquoise, and so on. Each holds a particular "medicine" that can be healing, and the choice to retain such things in one's presence allows the nature kingdom easier access to one's field.

Mila for this reason has long collecting many Native American pieces for her alter, along with her jewelry collection. Upon her alter is an Eagle Claw piece that is often commented upon as she travels. This piece allows the medicine of Eagle to be administered to all whom come into contact with her alter. When her events are global, all humans global wide receive such a blessing from Eagle through her alter. Mila has a variety of things representing each kingdom, and this allows all kingdoms presence to assist in the ascension of her students or mankind as a whole.

One does not require such pieces however to commune with any kingdom. All that is required is one's focus and intent. In simply focusing upon any one kingdom, it calls the soul behind the kingdom into one's field. One may then commune via the heart and through the communion, receive the healing or blessing offered, and communicate if one so wishes. Such is the gift of
communion beloved.

And so what does Bear wish to say to our ascending humans today? Be gentle with yourself beloved. You are beloved, beloved to us and beloved to all species upon earth along with earth herself. Give unto yourself whatever you need to ascend. If you need quiet time, take time from work and retreat into nature. If you feel needy, give to yourself that which fills you, whether it be an article of clothing or jewelry, a walk in nature, or a candlelit bubble bath.

Many spiritual aspirants believe that giving is better than receiving. In so believing, such humans have a tendency to give and give and give until there is so little left, there is nothing left to ascend. Ascension requires a certain vibration of field and form, which requires chi. If too much chi is given to others, one will be too depleted to ascend. Your ascension supports Earth's ascension, and therefore giving more than one receives serves not in the ascending master's purpose, which is to support global ascension through one's personal ascension.

How does one give to unto oneself? One looks within and sees what would give one pleasure. And then one chooses to create the time and circumstance through which such a pleasure may be experienced. Sometimes such experiences may include communion with nature, during which we may experience your pleasure vicariously. This too fills our hearts and fields, as the blessings of joy are exponential in nature when shared! As you give to you and commune with us, you give unto us also.

Joy is a odd thing in human form. Generally before communion becomes the standard for joy in an ascending human's life dance, joy is perceived in a trip to the shopping mall, Disneyland or other theme parks, travel or in watching a movie. These are not the types of fulfillment we are speaking of, and such entertainment will never fill one from within. Such forms of entertainment tend to deplete an ascending field of more chi than they ever return causing one to feel exhausted afterwards.

For several years and early in her ascension, Mila was guided to try and set up ascension devices in such places as shopping malls and theme parks. These eventually dismantled because the underlying planes involving such places were run by such large forces of the dark that they simply destroyed the devices after putting them in place. Although it seemed like a good place to reach children to trigger ascension, in the end such ideas were abandoned, as the forces in control of such places were not at all conducive to such a purpose.

We watched this over time, and came to understand that the only place nature can administer healing is either in the privacy of one's home while in meditation, or in nature. Therefore we guide ascending humans to go into nature as much as possible. One will find oneself far more fulfilled in so doing, as nature and earth can then give back unto you that which you have given in your ascension to us. This is hard to do under other circumstances beloved, and is therefore why we guide you so.

Bear is about balance. Balance is ultimately about giving and receiving in balance to whatever one needs. Receiving is ultimately an energetic act in which the chi that one requires to ascend is freely given, and one gives in return in their ascension back to Earth. As there is enough chi in one's field, there are also enough funds to support oneself in one's life dance. However, sometimes initiates give so much of their creative flow to employers, spouses, friends, co- workers, family and children, there is nothing left to ascend, and certainly not much left over to create something other than dependency upon the current system that one already knows. If one is going to free oneself from the current system and find a sovereign means of supporting oneself, one must learn balanced giving and receiving. Learning to recall all energy that has been given in excess to one's karmic obligations is the first lesson of balanced giving and receiving. One may accomplish this through intent.

Once there is enough chi, one can readily synthesize the field. As the field aligns into a beautiful rainbow of tones, one pushes from them the energy of others or interference of the forces of the dark. One then feels better and comes into a deeper state of balance. This is accomplished after each phase of ascension is fulfilled upon.

Sometimes during a particular segment of work, and until it is integrated, balance in not possible. At such times, and if one calls upon Bear, Bear will unite with you as a global level force and assist you in transcendence. In so doing, one can come to balance with greater ease. And so we invite you to call upon us as necessary beloved. As we give to you, you ascend, and then your ascension supports ascension of the whole of which we are apart. Therefore this is indeed balanced giving and receiving in action.

Namaste
The Bear Kingdom

The Bear

There are several types of bear including the Grizzly, Brown, Black, Kodiak and Polar.  Bear has played a prominent role in many Native cultures.  They are considered to be a highly desired ally and spirit helper because of its fearless power. It is believed that the power of Great spirit lives through this animal.  Because of this a constellation was named for it, Ursus Major, The Great Bear. Some tribes  prayed for medicine dreams that would show bear to be their guide. Others felt the bear was too powerful a medicine and would only hunt them if it meant not starving.

In some traditions bear is the spirit keeper of the West. The place of maturity and good harvest.  The gifts that bear offers to those with this totem are strength, introspection and knowledge.

Unlike other animals who are active during a specific time of day, the bear is active both day and night.  This symbolizes its connection with solar energy, that of strength and power, and lunar energy, that of intuition. It enhances and teaches those with this totem how to develop both within themselves.

Bear can sometimes be too quick to anger and too sure of it own power. While they have little to fear they can forget caution, which is an important trait to have. If bear is your totem be careful that you don't throw your caution to the wind.  Being unaware of your limits in certain settings can be disastrous.

Many years ago while hiking in the woods I was surprised to meet a black bear face to face.  As it stood before me the power that the bear held intimidated me.  Fears surfaced and I was sure I was going to die. I rose my arms high over my head appearing larger than I was.  Because I created an illusion of size and strength my life was spared. The bear watched, dropped down onto all four legs and slowly moved away. Bear taught me the importance of appearance by gathering my inner strength and presenting it outwardly.

During the winter bears spend several months sleeping in dens without eating, a condition that resembles hibernation. The more fat their bodies have stored up the deeper the sleep.  Bears live on this fat throughout the winter. It teaches us how to go within and find the resources necessary for our personal survival.

The bear holds the teachings of introspection. When it shows up in your life pay attention to how you think, act and interact. Use discernment in all that you do and discriminate with care. Bear teaches you how to make choices from a position of power.

Your Animal Spirit for Today
March 17, 2008 

Beaver

Beaver may be one of the hardest working animals on the planet. Beaver is attuned to both earth and water medicine, and is strongly attached to home and family. Beaver appears in your reading to remind you that sometimes there's no substitute for hard work. Make a plan, create a solid foundation, then take the next indicated step

Html & Assembled By Ayesha @Land Of Backgrounds2

The Beaver

The beaver is an amazing animal.  They are master engineers and alter environments.  Their dams are made of wood held together with mud and leaves.  Resourceful and ingenious they turn streams into lakes with their dams.  When they leave an area, the dam eventually decays and a fertile meadow is left where the lake was.  The beaver knows how to work in harmony with the environment and can show us how to do the same. They hold the energies of fertility and new promise.

Beavers are expert builders.  Their dams are strong and secure. When the beaver swims into your life it is asking you to strengthen the foundation on which you stand or to build a new one.  If we continue to stand on old foundations new opportunities can pass us by. Because of its building skills the beaver has been linked to ancient masonry.  Those with this totem often have past lives associated with this magical art. The study of masonry can reveal deeper insights about who you are and who you have been.

The beavers fur is waterproof and a hard yellow enamel coats their teeth protecting them from damage. Their teeth continue to grow until they die.  They are always chewing and falling trees. Author Ted Andrews states that without chewing the beavers  teeth would become to large, and it would be unable to eat. Its large incisor teeth are one of its most distinct features and holds great symbology.  A person with healthy incisor teeth usually has a balanced inner nature, if unhealthy an unsettled inner nature is common.  Proper dental hygiene along with developing a sense of inner peace is essential for those with this medicine.  Meditation and quiet contemplation is helpful.

Excellent swimmers, the beaver can stay submerged for 15 minutes.  Controlling the breath is one of its attributes.  Those with this medicine would benefit from yoga or any form of breathing exercises.  They make excellent breath workers as well as architects.

Beavers are creatures of the water the element associated with the subconscious. This is where hidden knowledge and forgotten dreams are stored.  A powerful totem to have the beaver reminds us to live our dreams and shows us how to manifest them using the resources available.  Beavers have a gentle nature and are very industrious.  Those with this totem often find that they must work hard to obtain their goals. Remember to be kind to yourself.  When you feel defeated simply call on the beaver to help you.

 

Beaver
   
 Careful building is the essence of beaver.  Beavers act with deliberate purpose, cutting down one tree at a time, removing each branch with slow precision.  Beavers are steadily productive, and take one step at a time toward completion of the larger job at hand.  By doing one thing at a time, they have faith in the completion of their task.  They do not hurry, and they know how to rest.
     Beaver is in harmony with the ebb and flow of life, letting go and moving on.  With their quiet, careful building they have the power to dam a huge river.  They can change the course of an entire river or cause a huge lake to form.  Beavers control water, one of the most powerful of elements.  They are masters of energy.  The beaver teaches us about mastery of the flow.  
 
    And yet the river always reasserts its power.  As we watch the beaver adapt to the changing currents of the river, we learn to use the resources available to us when life changes unexpectedly.  Beavers are not displaced by fluctuations of energy; they do not panic but stay focused and rebuild their homes.
     The beaver says, "Buiding and doing is all there is.  As waters rise and fall, we build and rebuild, seeking higher ground.  Your life is yours, live it fully, put your full energy into building it.  We slap our tails on the water.  We make the river resound with the noise, but the water is unchanged."
     Beaver shaman also teaches us about building a spiritual home.  Beaver says that he built the first sweat lodge, a symbol of prayer and hard work.  When beaver built the first sweat lodge he gathered all the animals together to pray.  We honored each other for their work.  When we invoke beaver spirit, we build our life from prayer, honoring each part.
 
     The beaver spirit is about commitment and building a full life, one step at a time, through prayer.

The Flap of The Beaver's Tail

Blessings for Joy and Humor

The Otter and Beaver Kingdoms through Karen Danrich "Mila"
April 19, 2002

 

Otter or Beaver are related to the same kingdom, and associated with Squirrel. Both Otter and Beaver along with Squirrel are often perceived as playful and joyful in nature. And indeed we are. Just like Squirrel, we hold the vibration of joy for kingdoms upon the land and within the sea. Joy and play are experienced in the lives of all species, although the decline in vibration has caused most species to experience pain. This is not to say that Otter and Beaver know not pain, as sometimes our homes in the sea or along the riverbanks are desecrated through human construction. This too causes us pain and takes the joy out of our life dance.

Why do humans mutilate the land under the guise of making improvements? This has been difficult for Beaver or Otter to understand. We too improve the land, but only where we are guided by earth to do so. Often Beaver builds dams in rivers or streams to assist in moving the water into the forest or into underground waterways to allow life to thrive all around. Remove our dams, and portions of the forest will die; and so this has come to be so often in human development.

Beaver and Otter understand working with all other kingdoms in relation to our construction projects. This is the gift we offer to ascending-humans. If one is building community or a new home upon a land site, call upon our kingdom. We will orchestrate suggestions that shall work for all other species upon the land and within the surrounding 10-mile radius. For this is what Otter and Beaver does quite naturally in nature; Beaver upon the Land and Otter along the coastal waters of the ocean.

Beaver builds dams, which are generally used also to raise our young keeping them sweetly out of predators way, except occasionally with Fox. Fox sometimes is quite bright and raids our Beavers nest taking of our young. However even this is provided unto Fox to insure her survival, as all inside of the forest dance occurs in balanced giving and receiving. All species work to support the survival of each along with the whole.

Otter builds not dams, but plays amongst the seaweed harvesting shellfish for sustenance. Sometimes Otter too becomes the dinner for Shark, and again does so out of survival of the whole. However hunting in seaweed can become confusing, and therefore generally Otter outwits Shark with ease. How does Otter mold the underwater seascape? Mostly Otter provides chi for seaweed forests to grow for their own protection, and the survival of their young. The more Otters, the more seaweed will grow as it is necessary unto Otters survival, or so Mila remembers in her journeys to the coastal regions of Big Sur and Monterey California. Seaweed is commonplace in California coastal regions due to the presence of Otter.

Retaining a playful nature is helpful in ascension. The doom and gloom of working through patterns associated with pain, suffering, fear and death are rapidly risen above as one chooses to sit in joy, humor and laughter instead. For humans, humor and laughter are sometimes easier vibrations to access than joy at first, and are precursors to moving into greater joy in the moment. Therefore call upon Otter and Beaver, and we will anchor more humor and laughter, which will lead to greater joy in one's life dance.

It is important to laugh at oneself. Nothing is beyond some humor in our experience. Isn't it humorous how humans behave? Is it not beneficial to take the time to laugh at oneself and one's own predicaments? No story in human form is perfect, and most have convolutions worthy of laughter. Lately and within the Group Mastery Program, there is a joke about being "Married to Merduk". Merduk of course was a member of the cast of characters related to the Annanuki Plieadians that dominated earth for an 18,000 years period, and destroyed earth in the end in a nuclear holocaust. Many an initiate with red inheritance will find that they have married "Merduk" to settle the Persephone-Merduk/Hades karma through one's life expression. (See "Great Central Sun Transmissions" for more information on ancient karma.)

Being "married to Merduk", or divorcing Merduk as many an initiate is currently doing in their program, is a joyful and liberating experience that completes karma that goes back upwards of 38,000 years (152,000 human years). Such life experiences become far more humorous as the backdrop of the original cause of the dance in one's ancient ancestry is understood. One also recognizes that one is not the only one "married to Merduk", but one of many others who are each settling a piece of the karma incurred between Merduk and the Persephone along with the Red Race.

Merduk particularly was a character that took of the blood of the red race (was a vampire in the physical) to sustain his life. Often those married to Merduk are "vampired", not of blood, but of chi and life force which then translates into disease or extreme tiredness. In ascending out of the disease, one also leaves Merduk and moves on to a new and joyous life expression that is sovereign.

One may also find oneself married to Zeus, or Athena, or Diana, or Innana/Aphrodite/Venus, or any other of the cast of characters that originated from the Pleiades. Such characters are related to the Greek and Roman Gods and myths. Such marriages or relationships are often to power mongering folk who are direct descendents of the Annanuki within their respective tapestry of ancestry. Whether the Annanuki in present time be female or male, generally they take from oneself incessantly and perhaps even to the point of manifesting a disease or other life travesty.

Such folk can manifest in one's life dance as beloveds or spouses, or as bosses, parents, siblings, friends or associates. Such associations lead to the same dance that occurred between the Annanuki and the Red Race long ago. As one stands back and views the larger picture, one can see how one is settling ancient ancestral karma, and in so doing, is finding one's way to liberation and freedom again. In seeing the larger picture, one can begin to laugh at such a predicament rather than viewing it in an all-suffering and all-consuming manner.

Ascension is not an easy life journey. One has chosen a particular set of circumstances as a human mapmaker of ascension that allows for the settlement of Annanuki related karma. This is the only way that the map carvers can ascend out of the dance that desecrated evolution as a possibility for the human species at large. Ascension and evolution ceased as the Annanuki came to dance with the Red Seeded Race. Therefore as all karma is released between the Annanuki and Red Seeded Race, ascension can become a viable possibility again for the whole of the human species.

Each map carver has taken a piece of the karma to settle in one's present day life. It is why the materials presented by Mila and Oa may have a symbolic representation of one's current life expression as map carver. Release the karma, ascending beyond the symbolic expression of Annanuki-Red Race conflict, and the whole of mankind can also ascend. Each map carver must do his or her part. Fail to leave a marriage or job when one is either married or employed by Merduk, and die of disease instead, and the map cannot be carved; further all map followers related to one's map will also fail to leave and end the life in death instead, leading to non-ascension. Take a stand for one's life by leaving the marriage or job that is killing oneself and recover, and all map followers of "like karmic expression" will also leave their spouse or job and ascend. This is how the map of ascension is carved into the physical; one brings about life changes that lead to life, resurrection, joy, bounty and ascension.

Each human has their own manner of clearing such karma and a particular life dance that occurs as a result; no two lives are the same as no two map-carvers took the same piece of Annanuki-Red karma to settle. The Annanuki sustained a lengthy lifespan of over 18,000 years. Their dance repeated again and again; generally the red race lost their land, lost their health,lost their spiritual knowledge, lost their family, lost their bounty, in other terms the red race lost lost lost. Symbolically, map carvers will create life experiences therefore that are related to "loss" of one sort or another as this is the karma that must be settled from one's ancient ancestry.

Sometimes the loss is financial; sometimes it is related to one's health; sometimes it is related to one's preoccupation; sometimes it is related to one's land; sometimes it is related to one's loved ones. Sometimes the loss is related to those inherently representative of the Annanuki who take of one's dreams or aspirations manifesting them in their life dance in lieu of one's own. Sometimes the loss is related to property that is stolen or misappropriated.

Ascend out of the dance, and a new dance will unfold. One will retrieve one's dreams and aspirations and manifest them instead in one's own life dance. Ascend into one's truth by taking a stand against that which is unethical, and the misappropriation of land or finances will be resolved in an honorable manner. Ascend out of the disease and the death of oneself or a loved one need not occur. Ascend into a new preoccupation that supports ascension and there is no further sense of loss.

At this time, there is an opportunity to alter the fate of one's life outcome, and this is what the reversal of polarity means in all human expression global wide. What is reversal of polarity? For so long, all associated with the red race lost lost lost. They lost in court and in the legal system, and they lost in disease, and they lost in unethical deals and misappropriations of finances and land, and they lost their loved ones and their children. Now due to the reversal of polarity there is an opportunity for those who are ascending to win win win; win the case against those who are unethical; ascend out of disease; or retrieve the land lost that inherently belongs to oneself or one's nation.

Now is the time for ascending folk to begin to take their stand upon a personal, national and international level. Now is the time that the karma will be unraveled and flow in the opposite manner, to benefit all of those related to the red seeded race in ancient ancestry. The benefit of all karmic unraveling is a return to honor within the human kingdom; honor of one's humanness and the humane treatment of all; honor of the land; honor of the earth mother; and honor of all species therein.

The settlement of ancient karma is gratifying. There is a sense in Mila and Oa who have settled all ancient ancestral karma of great joy and peace. Justice has been done; if not in the physical, then in the nonphysical and it will step into physicality now due to the polarity reversal of earth. They have come to understand long ago that their triumph over death through ascension would bring about a new dream for humanity that would reverse the poles causing a new tomorrow, a new day of renaissance and great awakening to unfold instead of desecration through nuclear warfare.

This is not only Mila and Oa's truth. All ascending humans are symbolic of an ancient dance of dishonor between the red nation and the Annanuki. Each life has a particular expression that allows yet another piece of the puzzle to be understood, and in the understanding, forgiven; and in the forgiveness settled. In the settlement of karma, circumstances that dishonor are dissolved into new circumstances that honor and a new era may blossom; first in one's own life dance, and then for all of mankind.

So what do Otter and Beaver wish to say to our ascending humans today? We would like to offer our support in more greatly seeing the archetypal patterns and ancient karma one is transcending through one's ascent. As one can better understand the archetypal karmic pushes and pulls that have manifested one's particular predicament, one can not only laugh, but can see the bigger picture and the ancient karma to be settled. In viewing the larger picture, one will understand the tapestry that one is a part of.

At this time, all humans weave a tapestry that is energetic in nature. The tapestry is layered in a circular manner that surrounds earth. Upon the bottom layer are tones weaving a tapestry that are black, gray, brown, mucous green and mucous yellow in color. Such tones are related to death, fear, pain, suffering, greed, lust, and judgment. Those associated with this bottom layer also represents the old consensus destined for cleansing through death. Some are rapidly ascending out of the bottom layer and entering the next layer of tapestry above, which is the 3rd consensus and primary tones in color.

The black and gray tones are currently being cleansed from earth as the planes associated with death and fear are risen above in earth's global ascent. Those most deeply associated with the bottom most part of the tapestry and the black and gray tones may perish in the coming six months to two years as a result. Such folk may also be in great pain due to disease or aging, and therefore such deaths may be a great blessing allowing such souls and consciousness to move into a nonphysical dance that is more joyous. In the coming decade and cycle of cleansing, the bottom most tier will cease to exist altogether, and this is how earth shall rise above the vibrations of death, fear, greed, suffering, pain, judgment and lust altogether.

Above the bottom most tapestry is another tapestry made of the primary colors of magenta, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, which represent the third consensus of those attaining 1024 to 1800 in genetic material and vibration. Those ascending into this tapestry raise enough above the vibration of death to live through this coming period of cleansing and see the dawning of the new era ahead. At this time, it is anticipated that this tier shall be filled with roughly 6 billion humans, 1.5 billion of which will ascend on to the next tapestry and tiers. The lives of such folk sitting in primary tones have transcended extreme polarity and therefore will be more joyous than those sitting in the vibrations of the old consensus. Many of such humans will ascend no further but spawn offspring who do.

Above the third consensus is the new consensus of ascending humans embodying the Language of Light. Such tiers within the new consensus tapestry are pastel in color related to the 10 Octaves of Love, which are pink, lavender, peach, turquoise, silver, gold, yellow, pale lavender, pale pink and ivory in color. Each ascending from 1800 to 6000 strands is related to the tapestry of pastel colors and the new consensus of ascension.

Each human has a role within the tapestry, whether it is to complete through death or ascend into a new tomorrow. Each role is a script that allows for karmic settlement of ancient debts either related to the last fall of Atlantis or Annanuki and Red Race interactions. Those ascending into primary colors or between 1024 and 1800 settle karma from the period of Atlantis from 10,000 to 30,000 years ago in living their life script. Those ascending beyond the primary tones and into the Language of Light or from 1800 to 6000 strands are settling karma from 30,000 to 50,000 years ago, which is related to the dance between the Red Race and Annanuki. Each script of those ascending into such vibrational bandwidths will allow another piece of the ancient karma to be settled so that all humans may be freed from such patterns and thought-form, and ascension of the entire human species may be brought forth.

Each script as a map carver dovetails with hundreds of other scripts that share a part in the same story; and millions of others who are map followers who are also related. One will see how one's dance impacts all others associated within the related tapestry of vibrations that one is associated with. As each map carver succeeds at settling the karma in one's own life dance, the possibility for the map follower to do the same opens. As each map follower likewise settles the karma, all karma for the Annanuki and Red Dance along with the era of Atlantis may be settled in full, spawning the new golden era ahead.

The map carvers and followers must simply follow the script that allows for karmic settlement and ascension. Karmic settlement will lead to ascension; ascension out of disease; ascension out of pain and into joy; ascension out of death and into resurrection, reconstitution and life that is ageless and disease free. Each human has a hologram, and this hologram sits in the heart cavity. There are two possible holographic scripts for each human recorded therein. One script if followed leads to death; and the other script if followed leads to life through ascension. Otter and Beaver will assist in bringing one's life scripts to consciousness so that one may choose; choose the script that leads to ascension instead of death and make the life choices and changes necessary to see this to fruition.

Otter and Beaver are bearers of possibility, and in the possibility for a new tomorrow, great joy may unfold. If one knows not how to work their way out of a job or marriage that is killing oneself, or any other predicament one may find oneself in, how can one intend such a dream? Call upon Otter and Beaver and we will show you a new script for a new possibility that allows for the birth of change that is in alignment with ascension. Then as the possibility for a new future is brought to consciousness, one may intend such a vision into one's dream, and then anchor the dream into physicality. This is what mastering one's own destiny is all about.

There are many associated with Group Mastery program that Mila and Oa facilitate that are working their way out of difficult circumstances; some are ascending out of disease; some are ascending out of jobs and marriages that are killing the form; some are working their way out of preoccupations that serve not ascension and finding new preoccupations that do; all are finding their freedom and truth in action. This is what the material that has been generated for many years through their program offers if one applies the information towards one's own internal self-mastery. (See "Group Mastery Program Self Study Program" for more information.)

We hope that each reading this material finds what Beaver and Otter have to share of use. Do call upon our kingdoms. Let us ascend together in unity, honor, peace and joy. May each succeed at mastering one's own destiny, and may the new golden era ahead be born!

Namaste
The Otter and Beaver Kingdoms

The Badger

The badger is a member of the weasel family. They range is length from two to three feet and are about twelve inches high. Family members often mark each other with scent for recognition since their sight is poor. Their senses of smell and hearing however are excellent. Those with this medicine would do well in professions that incorporate sound as a healing tool. On a personal note, badger medicine people need to develop clear sight, both psychically and physically and not just rely on their other senses for survival.

Badgers have solid muscular bodies.  Its outer skin is loose which gives it a deceiving appearance.  Because of this it is often associated with illusion. What you see is not always what you get!  Its strong powerful jaws represent discrimination of speech. Words can cut, tear and crush or encourage, teach and compliment others.  Those with this medicine have the ability to do both.

Badger dens are extremely clean and well organized. They change there bedding often, backing into their dens with straw, so as not to make a mess in the process. Fastidious about their surroundings they will correct any disorder quickly.

The badger brings the gift of tidiness and organization. If badger has come to you in some way it may be saying that you need to concentrate on maintaining an orderly environment to better facilitate your day-to-day living. . It can also teach you how to manage your time more efficiently.

Badgers will fight to their death if cornered.  Bold and ferocious they are unsociable animals.  Those with this medicine have difficulty relating to others. They will  shun authority and stand their ground in any situation. Expressing themselves in a concise balanced way is one of their greatest challenges.

The badger is a remarkable digger and can get beneath the surface easily. This ability ties the badger to the mysteries of the underworld, where the magic of life and creation is stored. It also symbolizes a strong connection to plant and animal spirits and can teach those with this totem how to align with life both above ground and below it.

Teachings of the Badger

The badgers teaches how to deal with power creatively and successfully. Most animals avoid contact with the badger, for despite its small stature, the badger makes a dangerous adversary. Its aggressiveness and wildness make it unpopular with others. The badger is the totem animal of powerful healers and medicine women. People who possess the power of badger can use its tenacity very effectively to heal. They will never give up until they ultimately defeat the disease.

The badger teaches to use one’s anger in order to change unacceptable circumstances in life. Shrug off your lethargy and take action! Use the energy of the attack to propel yourself forward, but do not run everybody into the ground in the process. Always pay attention to your inner balance.

Badger-people are often the boss who is feared by many, but who keeps everything going in the end. If he is in a bad mood, he can be cold and mean. His strength lies in showing his feelings without worrying about the reaction of others. There is no place for panic for a badger-person; he always keeps a cool head, even in difficult situations.

Animal Spirit
Buffalo

Buffalo has come snorting into your life today to bring a message of great hope. Buffalo sacrificed every part of his physical body to support those who hunted him—but he also gave his spirit. And, it's that spirit of hope, abundance, and a bright future that he brings to you today. If you are experiencing a troubled journey, help is here.

 

The Buffalo

The buffalo is a symbol of abundance and manifestation. Their large heads represent intelligence of a higher order and their strong bodies ground them to the earth. They are the uniting force between the mundane and the divine and hold the teachings of right action joined with prayer.

Both the bulls and the cows have horns as well as humped shoulders. Horns grow out of the head and extend to the sky indicating a connection with a higher intelligence. Humps are often symbolic of stored energy locked within the body.

The buffalo's humps are located at the shoulders. In man the shoulders hold our personal energy which expresses itself through our hands. Whatever we touch or hold onto is connected to the energy stored in the shoulders.  Shoulders carry responsibility or joy. What we carry within is manifested outwardly.  The buffalo teaches us how to eliminate our burdens by directing our energy in a balanced way.

When defending against danger, the cows will form a defensive circle around the calves and the bulls will form a circle around the cows. This symbolizes the buffalo's mutual respect for one another as well as their protective instincts to defend and honor life.

To the Plains Indians it was a symbol of sacred life and abundance. It gave the gift of life to others by sacrificing its own. It provided meat for food and hides for clothing and shelter. When tribes prepared for a buffalo hunt prayers of gratitude were offered up to great spirit. After the hunt ceremonies were performed that honored the buffalo's spirit. Without the aid of buffalo these tribes would not have survived the harsh winters.

Buffalo's can be unpredictable and dangerous when provoked. Those with this totem need to remember to see the good in all things and not let their frustration store up inside them. Tai Chi or martial arts would be of benefit on a daily basis.

The buffalo reminds us to give thanks for what we have, to respect all life forms and to honor the integrity of our own divine essence. It is a symbol of equality, sacrifice and service and can show us how to live in a state of understanding, acceptance and joy. It helps us release our self pity and awakens abundance within our consciousness.  Buffalo is a powerful medicine to have and serves as a stepping stone towards healing our imperfections and reconnecting with mother earth and father sky.

Animal Spirit

Butterfly

Beautiful butterfly has fluttered into your reading to remind you of the powerful transformational energies at work in your life. If something important seems to be stagnating, know that transformation is at work just below the surface - and just like the caterpillar, the 'cocooned' situation you're fretting about is about to be freed.

 

 

 The Butterfly

Transformation's Perfect Role Model
By Cindy Griffith

Why the butterfly? Because it doesn't freak out when it knows it's time to change! It just sees change as the next step. In it's caterpillar stage, it creates it's little cocoon, goes inside, and when times up, and after quite a work out, it emerges, transformed into a butterfly. It stretches it's new found wings and flies away to discover it's new vistas!


Why can't we do that? First we would complain that we have to sit still. "I'm stagnating! I must be off my path!" then we'd cry "Oh no it's dark, it (I) must be bad!" Then, when time to come out, "let someone else do the work. I'll be the supportive one." "You want me to fly? I'm still processing!" "I'm not allowed to fly, I fell down in a past life and it's my Karma to stay forever on the ground!"" I can't just take off without knowing where I am going!"


I remember hearing that when we are stopped, it's because God is busy working out the details. It's just like the down time the caterpillar has to go through in order to be the butterfly. Can you imagine if the caterpillar said, "I can't stop now and just hang out in a cocoon! I still have to climb to the next branch!" If he only knew how much easier it will be when he can fly! We often forget how much easier it is to fly.


It does get dark in the cocoon of Transformation! A major part of our transformation is when we allow ourselves to go in and see our dark side. Jung said that too much light makes very big shadows! Any creation contains duality, Masculine and Feminine, Dark and Light. I won't say Good and Bad, as they are judgments about Dark and Light. The Dark is a necessary figure, without it, we have no balance. There is a wonderful story about the time before Kali took her role of dispersing disease, rot and death. Living was a misery, nobody died. There was no room! There was no food! There was no appreciation for life! Thank Goodness she heard our cries and gave us the gift of time, rot, disease and death. Now a baby grows up, has babies and dies making room for his or her baby's babies. We now appreciate the time that we are given on this plane.


I see the times when we are willing to look at the darker, more destructive side of ourself as that stage when you are cleaning out the closet. Everything is out on the floor and looking a mess! You think it will never look good again! Looking at all of you results in transformation. You pull out all parts of yourself (all the parts, not just the light, pretty, spiritual ones!) You throw out or recycle what is no longer useful and reorganize the rest. Then you know what's in there, and you can reach in and get what ever you need! (and you don't waste energy worrying about what is going to jump or fall out every time the closet of your psyche opens!) Don't throw away all the Dark parts, sometimes you need the Destroyer within to help get rid of a situation that has outgrown itself, or the Angry One who, once recognized as an important part of the crew, has learned the appropriate times and ways to express anger!


Once you have been in the Dark of the Cocoon long enough, it is time to get out! "Uh oh! You want me to leave the safety of this nice warm beautiful cocoon?" "If it's time to leave, I WANT A REALLY BIG SIGN!" Sometimes it's scary to leave that time of inner reflection and get back into the outer world. Sometimes we get lost in helping others and never get around to finishing our own transformation. Everyone knows that if your help the butterfly out of his cocoon, his wings will be too weak and he dies. The Butterfly needs to go through the struggle to be strong enough to fly away and so do we!

(Are all of us well meaning, helpful co-dependents listening?)


Once we have emerged into the outer world, we find our new found strength and beauty that we had hidden away also emerged. We aren't so prone to excuses. We are now ready to take the next step and put what we have learned into action. We take that Leap of Faith, and begin to fly the highs and the lows of the next stage in our soul's evolution.
I am sure most of us can relate to at least one of the stages of the little caterpillar journey of transformation! Its spring and next time you see a butterfly go by, take a moment to remember the message it brings you. Ask yourself where are you on the journey of your transformation. Then send that butterfly lots of love, It went through a lot to get here!

Animal Helper - Butterfly
By Cait Johnson, Assistant Producer, Care2 Healthy Living Channels.

Simple Solution
Power Animals offer themselves to us for guidance and help with the challenges of our daily lives.

BUTTERFLY is what shamans call a shape-shifter: it changes form completely. Butterfly flutters into our lives to remind us that we are given countless opportunities to transform ourselves, to make positive changes toward greater and greater authenticity.

Simply noticing the behaviors or patterns that keep us stuck and unhappy is an important first step: when we notice, we honor the witness self, a deeper self that knows what it knows, and can help us to choose different ways of behaving that will be more in tune with the beautiful spirits we are.

Bobcat

-Also known as the wild cat, it has tufts of hair on its ears and sideburns. It is a solitary animal and those with it as a totem often find themselves in the same situation. One should come to terms with that, learning how to be alone but not lonely. The females usually have a small territory, but the male will move through many others. Once mating is accomlished, they each will go their separate ways. Since the bobcat is a solitary animal, they will find their friends tend to share secrets with them. It is important to keep their confidence and not tell what they know about others., as this will tend to be found out quickly. One with bobcat medicine has the ability to turn on and off creative forces. They will know how to utilize life forces silently but powerfully. Their medicine is always strongest when others do not know of it. As a totem, one should learn when, to whom and how much to speak. They should be cautious with what they share as things tend to be blown out of proportion. The bobcat has keen eyesight, excellent hearing, and sensitive whiskers making it a wonderful nighttime hunter. One with its medicine will be most effective at night. They will hear what is not being said. Others are usually not comfortable in the presence of one with bocat medicine because they know that things are being heard and seen that they don't want known. This makes the bobcat person an excellent couselor or even a manipulator. They are able to trust their own sense and unless there is a logical reason to say otherwise, it is usually right. The bobcat is not very fast, but can leap great distances. The mother will start training her young early and by about seven months the houng have learned to unt alone and around nine month they have left the family. Those with the medicine usually learn quickly and thoroughly and usually they and their yuong will become strong and independent.

Bobcat depicts Silence and secrets and is associated with Winter and early spring.

If a Bobcat is your power animal, you have much to learn from this Cat...

Bobcat's Message and Medicine

Silence / Keeper of Ancient Secrets / Keen Senses / Independence

 

Bobcat is a member of the feline family and gets its name from its short bobbed tail. It is a medium sized cat and can weigh up to 40 lbs. Bobcat has prominent ear tufts and ruffs on the sides of its head. His coat is brownish-yellow, with dark spots and black stripes. Bobcat is shy, solitary and rarely seen . It likes rough terrain and makes its home under rock ledges. His coloring helps him blend into his surroundings. Bobcat is an expert at  climbing trees and he likes to hide in bushy areas. Its keen eyesight, sensitive whiskers and acute hearing make it a powerful night predator. Bobcat’s ability to sneak up on its prey unnoticed, makes it very successful at catching birds, rodents and rabbits.

Bobcat’s message can help you understand psychic knowledge and ancient mysteries. Its medicine is the ability to help you move beyond time and space. If you have Bobcat as a totem you have excellent counseling skills. Others will confide in you but you must keep their confidences a secret. Do not, " let the cat out of the bag" or you will experience repercussions almost immediately. Be careful of what you say and how you say it. Sharing information received in confidence can lead to problems. Remember, "silence is golden". Be aware of things hidden but trust in your intuition to reveal them. Don’t forget to spend some time alone and away from the telephone. Take a class in psychic development and counseling . Your clairvoyant powers are strong and should be put to good use.

Blue Jay

Blue Jay encourages you to be a little sassy today! If there's something you've been wanting, ask for it. If there's an issue that needs confrontation, don't sweep it under the rug or Blue Jay will drag it back out into the open. One word of caution, though—Blue Jays will eat the young of other birds—so be direct, but not destructive.

The Blackbird

The blackbirds iridescent black plumage holds the energies of mysticism and magic.  Druid legends say that the birds of Rhiannan are 3 blackbirds which sit and sing in the World tree of other worlds.  Their singing puts the listener into a sleep or a trance which enables him or her to travel to the otherworld.  It was said to impart mystic secrets. Those with this medicine often have a hypnotic influence on others as well as an uncanny ability to move between the seen and unseen worlds with clarity.  They make excellent shamans and trance channelers.

Blackbirds are timid and prefer their own company over the company of others.  In humans shyness and insecurity in group settings is common. Vulnerable to outside influences those with this totem need to remember to clear accumulated influences from their energy field on a regular basis.

The male's distinctive song during breeding season is loud and melodious with flute like qualities.  Males often sing from high perches and both sexes produce a variety of sounds which include mimicking other birds.  Blackbird medicine people love to sing and have the ability use their voice to heal and inform. They are also good ventriloquists.

Blackbirds spend much of their time on the ground.   Its locomotion includes walking, climbing and hopping forward and backwards.  They forage for food in open spaces although cover is always near by.  When  foraging in leaf litter under trees they sound like people walking . In humans this suggests an ability to remain grounded in the earth energies while walking a spiritual path.

When resting the blackbird is frequently seen stretching, legs extended back, side wings in full extension, tail spread, and the head tilted to one side as if listening.  Yoga and movement therapy are beneficial for those that hold this totem.

The blackbirds flights are low, short and undulating but fast and direct over open country. They move with determination and focus and can teach us how to do the same.  When blackbird flies into your life your connection with nature and the forces of creation increase.  The magic of the underworld surfaces in your life. Awareness is heightened and change on a cellular level begins.  The blackbird teaches you how to acknowledge your power and use it to its fullest.

The Bluebird

The bluebird is a member of the thrush family. The males are entirely blue, while the females are blue only in the wings. The color blue is associated with spiritual awakening. A color that calms the mind and soothes the heart. Since the color blue is symbolic it will represent different things to different people. A daily practice of prayer and meditation are beneficial to those with this medicine.

Bluebirds arrive from the south in the early spring. They live in open country and woodland settings nesting in holes in trees or fence posts. In native cultures the south is the direction of innocence and childlike activity. When a bluebird shows up it could be asking you to lighten up and let go of any dramas that are presently occupying your life. If it appears in your immediate surroundings this message is more pronounced.

Bluebirds hold the energy of gentleness. They are not aggressive and will avoid confrontation whenever possible. They are patient and observant birds and choose to spend their time enjoying life, however, if a bluebird is provoked it will stand its ground and defend itself. The bluebird teaches us how to move through life with a gentle strength and a patient persistence.

Living ones truth without inflicting it on another person can be a challenging affair. Mankind often feels a need to awaken others with their knowledge. This need can trigger personality disputes causing unnecessary frustration and conflict.

The bluebirds song is one of joy and playfulness. When if flies into your life it serves as a reminder to allow others to grow in their own way and time. Live your personal truth but remember to honor anothers truth. We are all equal in the eyes of the creator. The path a person walks is a personal choice that was created from the soul blueprint. We don't always understand anothers choice but it is imperative that we respect it.  Equally so, we must respect ourselves.

BOBCAT

 

Silence, Solitude and Secrets

 

 
Solitary, has spiritual force residing within them, will often carry the burden, manifestation of power and control
 

People with a Bobcat totem are often solitary like their totem animal.
Coming to terms with that, learning to be alone
without being lonely is part of what the Bobcat can teach.
However, you must be careful not become a recluse.
Learn when to be social and when you need alone-time.

Bobcat people often become keeper of secrets
and they must learn never to break their silence and friend’s confidences.
If trust is broken, things will be distorted and blown out of proportion.
Keep the secret -- maintain the silence -- honor the trust given.

Bobcats have the ability to turn on and off creative forces.
Bobcat magic uses darkness and secrecy;
be silent about your magic and power �?
don’t broadcast what you can do to everyone. Speaking of it dissipates the power.
You must learn when to speak, how much to say, and what to share with others.
This is essential.

Bobcat people are night people.
They also can have psychometry (the ability to sense an object) and/or clairaudience.
Trust in your senses. 
Even if there is no logical reason, trust what your inner voice is saying.
Bobcat people can see what is hidden -- and this ability
can make some people uncomfortable around a Bobcat person.
