Awake on some level. I am aware of a sound, like an engine powering up – like a spaceship sound. I don’t open my eyes because whatever it was left. UFO? Again?
Later I wonder about that little anomaly and wish I had at that moment the presence of mind to look at the clock and imprint the time. Sometimes, in taking these encounters for granted, I drop the ball and miss the opportunity to take a few notes that might clarify or reveal a connection with other events that were happening at that time.
As it is – I did at least remember it happened because it was just such a bizzarre activity in the first place – to think a UFO was powering up in the bedroom.
And maybe that was an introduction.
Discover Your Spirit Guide: Guidance from Carl the Crow
Guidance. Not a dream. This is an excerpt from a session with Spirit Guides. I am given a name when I wake up: Carl. Moments before, he had appeared in a dream. He stood out because he looked different than the others in the scene. He found a way to be present and blend in but when I woke up, I heard him say his name.
He says he is Native American. I ask why he is connecting to me and he responds that it is because I am looking for guidance and making changes.
I walk by the table and see the song on the display for the radio: CROW. (I ask if it is Red Crow – a deceased person I knew. No.) A man who has been human and is now deceased but continues to assist when humans are in limbo or reaching for new identities. They have a chance to upgrade their skills and try new ways of being and seeing.
(Note to the reader. There is nothing intended to be grandiose about this. It simply addresses the ongoing evolution of the soul / spirit as we experience the process of navigating change and challenges that presents as we undergo various identity shifts in our life roles. Graduation / Death / Birth / Separation / Career / Job / Relationship / Education.)
In that time of transition he steps forward to be seen – while most times he simply assists without being of interest or noticed. This is a time of transition when there are many things that can be accomplished with a simple move – a redirect that calls passion back into the equation.
It allows one who has been idle or taking a break between sessions of growth to recover the inner light that at the very beginning gave one the courage and incentive to adopt a role in this game. To jump into a human form and play the game. So now it can be done with an assist from higher awareness. It doesn’t call for a grand revival – simply a desire for change and that influence shifts the course to open new doors.
My guide (Name of spirit guide) interjects. He says: Always with you – even when you fall asleep (double meaning). Aho.
Carl is a supportive influence. Listen. The goal is ONE with all beings. Inner and outer space – collective awareness. And that changes everything. You are a healer. Let that element grow wings. Study the Crow. And on we go! Your body is now ready to heal. It had to stop and give you a chance to catch up – to remember and seek out ways to rebalance the genuine article. Soul memory. All is ONE.
What have I changed? Nothing. You have opened the door to healing. It is an internal allowing of all that is to enter and reframe the paradigm so that you are able to access learning from past life engagement and become more present with your inner knowing – blocked until you are ready to give it a higher priority.
Age and wisdom. The joke. It isn’t ready until you grow a few stones. Aha! Rocks on the path and that which engages with beings who don’t look like you – to allow they also reside on this planet in the higher frequencies.
They give you hope and understanding that there is more to wonder about and incentive to create a bridge to enliven your own abilities to the knowing that what has been made visible is just a small part of the realm of being. So you are given respect as you give respect and you are invited when you have shown that you are indeed one who in every essence of your being – can do no harm. Aloha!
The meek shall inherit the earth has been widely misrepresented and misunderstood. The meek are those who do no harm to the nest they have been given. They are not human. They are the guardians for all life and sentient beings. Surprised?
The fine print has been here all along. To aspire to greatness has nothing to do with human levels of higher authority, rather, the belief and knowing that what transpires here is simply learning how to get along with those who do not express similar values and also those who are not of your species. Passing that test opens the door to higher realms of awareness and existence. Where all reside in a brighter light. Aloha. Be well.
Examine CROW – all caps for now. One who learns does not step back from life – but dives in wholeheartedly and exclaims, I want to know more. I love being here. I am that I am! Expression of heart and soul are the goal. However that presents. To grow is to know more.
A bit of synchronicity. Another perspective dawns after I am drawn to a couple of videos – One is about ancient caves in France (37 thousand years old) link.The other relates a sasquatch encounter where they found some “stones on the jeep” link.
Synchronicity. We put out mulch yesterday. Oddly enough, I found some decent size rocks in the mulch – even though the package said it was free of all debris. I thought it was odd to find those stones in the mulch but I didn’t think anything more about it until I was re-reading this segment. The guides’ reference to stones now has a different meaning.
In addition to that, the suggested insight from CROW messenger resonates: When you seek “higher guidance” through the spirit of the crow, you are tapping into a powerful symbol of transformation, intuition, and illusion-piercing wisdom. In many spiritual traditions, the crow acts as a bridge between the physical and spirit realms.
Now the LLM Clarification
I won’t always offer the comparison even though I think it is helpful to see the raw version to understand how it can be interpreted differently. The LLMs I work with often erase, minimize or disuade references to spirit presence. Sasquatch and UFOs are viewed as fiction. I work around that.
What I like best is the clarification and the simplicity. There will be edits, but overall, the language gets a bit of refinement.
Crows as messengers of light. Their dark feathers carry luminous color, and the light at the central crow’s heart radiates through the entire fractal. The smaller crows repeat that pattern, suggesting guidance shared outward: one spark of awareness reaching many beings. That connects with your message of collective awareness, curiosity, and care for the shared nest.
“Grow Wings” adds an invitation: receive the guidance, then give it expression in your own life.
CROW — Guidance for a Time of Change
Awake on some level, I hear a sound like an engine powering up—something I associate with a spacecraft. I keep my eyes closed. The sound passes, and I have the sense that whatever was there has left.
What follows is distinct from the dream. On waking, I receive a name: Carl. He introduces himself as Native American. “Why are you connecting with me?”
“Because you are seeking guidance and making changes.”
On the Sirius display, I notice CROW. The introduction describes Carl as someone who once lived a human life and now assists people during periods of uncertainty and changing identity. Most of the time, his assistance goes unnoticed. During a transition, he may make his presence known. The guidance continues:
“Use this time to explore new ways of being and seeing. Develop your skills. A simple adjustment can accomplish more than you expect when it brings passion back into your life. Between periods of growth, you may rest. When you are ready to move again, remember the inner light that first gave you the courage to participate — to enter a human life and take your place in the experience. Allow higher awareness to assist you. Begin with a desire for change. Let that desire influence your choices and open new possibilities.”
Then the familiar greeting: “Aloha (Name of spirit guide). Always with you — even when you fall asleep. Aho.
“Carl is a supportive influence. Listen. Remember the goal: oneness with all beings. Inner and outer space belong within that larger awareness. Let this understanding change how you relate to life. Make room for healing. Your body has asked you to pause, catch up, and seek ways to restore balance. Remember the genuine article: the soul beneath the roles, expectations, and habits. All is ONE.”
“What have I changed? Nothing.”
“You have opened the door to healing. The change begins within. You are allowing a broader understanding to enter and reshape the way you see yourself. Give your inner knowing a higher priority. Become more present with it. Allow the learning described here as soul memory — experience carried from other lives — to inform your awareness.
“Age and wisdom. There is a joke in that. Sometimes you are not ready until you have grown a few stones. Aha! Stones on the path. Courage. And encounters with beings who do not look like you. Make room in your understanding for forms of life beyond those you readily recognize. Within this teaching, they share the planet through frequencies beyond ordinary perception. Let the possibility awaken curiosity, hope, and respect. What has become visible to you is a small part of the larger realm of being. Build a bridge between what you have encountered and what you are still learning to understand.
“Give respect. Receive respect. Approach every encounter with care. Show through your choices that you can be trusted to protect life and refrain from harm. Aloha.”
The teaching turns to the phrase the meek shall inherit the earth:
“Consider the meek as those who do no harm to the nest they have been given.”
The guardians described here are nonhuman caretakers of life and sentient beings. Their greatness is expressed through care for the whole.
“Surprised? Consider the fine print. Learn to live alongside beings whose values, perceptions, and forms differ from your own. Extend respect beyond your species. Let your conduct demonstrate what you understand. That learning opens the way to greater awareness—to an existence in which all may share a brighter light. Aloha. Be well.
“Examine CROW — all capitals for now. Enter life wholeheartedly. Let curiosity become participation. Say: ‘I want to know more. I love being here. I am that I am.’ Give your heart and soul expression in whatever form comes naturally to you. Practice. Explore. Create. Care. To grow is to know more.”
The instruction I carry forward is simple: Pay attention. Welcome learning. Practice your abilities. Care for the shared nest. Let curiosity bring you more fully into life.
What has changed?
What I am changing is a better way to phrase it. Priorities
There are important changes at this stage of my life. Many of my contemporaries are transitioning, and those in my inner circle are experiencing personal and physical challenges. I have a few challenges of my own, but the biggest shift is in my art and creative pursuits. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time in nature. I loved being outside and wondered how anyone could work at a job that required staying indoors. Then I went into retail and broadcasting. Go figure.
Here’s where it comes full circle: while I was outdoors, I carried a journal. I wrote constantly — about everything. Thoughts, fantasies, ideas, wishes, goals. Stuff. Somewhere along the way, I let judgment push that pastime to the back burner. Age has given me the freedom to bring it forward again. Fun wins. Fun makes life more interesting, and having fun introduces me to more friends.
So I keep learning and writing about stuff. What changed? I gave myself permission to have fun. And now I’m writing. Just for the fun of it.
It that why the UFO was in the bedroom – again? Or is this just one of the few times I am aware of it being there? Let’s say it is definitely an incentive to keep writing.
And wondering. Color me curious.
