In a dream time circle where we met our future generations, 100, years into the future. I was asked by my great, great, great, grandchild, what did I do to help turn the tide when the Earth was on the brink of destruction. The answer below is what flowed.
I dreamt of you. You where my inspiration. Seeing you in a the world that you were thriving in, with the balance of the mind and the heart, technology and nature and with the realization that all are one, related, made me realize that the change was easy.
I stopped colluding with the assumptions that change had to be traumatic. I knew that this as not going to be a revolution, but rather an evolution of the human heart and mind. Others shared this vision and we found each other. Together, we knew that our dreams would change the tide so all could enjoy the world we dreamed for you. Our hearts opened, we saw technology as a friend that could help the Earth. As the systems failed we were here with our love and vision to help other use their talents to change the world so our grandchildren would survive and our great grandchildren would thrive.

Beyond Infinity Bob Blog - October
There is a loud crash and I see trees are falling into the crevice below. I see their roots are they topple down. As I look around for the cause I realize that I am a tree that is growing larger and as I grow I am pushing other trees off the cliff. As more trees fall, I get closer and closer to the edge and I am in danger of toppling in to the darkness below.
I awake.
There is the archetypical image of the clown, a the holy fool, or the idiot, that dances on this edge. This person has the beginner mind and is ready for a journey, a change, and to fall if necessary. There exist the danger of falling, of failure, but with each failure, there exist the chance for redemption and rebirth.
I have spent too much of my time living in the safety of the dark forrest.
My whole life, I have fought for independence. I made on my own, denying and rejecting help. To my friends and family that you have stayed with me, you are truly generous for putting up with me in spite of the asshole I am and was.
And now, I realize that I was hiding from the rest of the forrest by growing into tree as I pushed other trees out of my way.
But now, I am at the edge, ready to leap.
It is an exciting time to making a move. It is also, a scary time because I need to leave the comfort of the forrest that has hidden me for so long and expose myself with all my faults to universe.
I am jumping off the edge and risking failure. I know that I can no longer make it all alone in this world. The support of the tribe is necessary in every way to how this story will turn out. The love and support, I give and receive, no matter how small it seems, will feed this and keep us going. As our ego accepts its death then our evolution to communal beings can be realized. Instead of being one tree, I hope to grow with the new forrest of that is interconnected.
So it is now time for me to step up and learn become interdependent with the community around me. To open and receive all this life has to offer. No more hiding.
There is a big rock that I climb up on with at least ten others. On this rock we are all one, teachers and students with our different perspectives, beliefs and visions. As we learn from each other our burdens are lighten, our mistaken beliefs discarded and our love expanded. We begin to dream and the rock rises into the air like some spaceship hovering over the earth. United together in vision, we can truly move mountains.
I awake with renewed hope.

Global Fire Vigil Weekend - The Pachamama Stick
During the fire vigil we kept a Pachamama stick close to the fire to honor and blow are prayers for the Earth into. During the closing ceremony, the stick was place into the fire by two expectant mothers.
What a privilege to have this energy of motherhood here and what an honor for us to have them to remind us that how important our thoughts, actions and deeds are to those who will inherit the Earth from us.
In Gratitude,
Bob
Global Fire Vigil Weekend - Work in Joy
Let the joyous work begin!
The Q'ero remind us that we that this work should come from joy. After a week of laughing, hugging joking, and loving with the Q'ero this seems to be in my heart, too. What amazing medicine men, how they hold their love of all with such humility. They can laugh and joke with one another and still hold space where we can contribute to the healing of the world. It is such a honor to be apart of this.
As Don Francisco said, " I am here to help grow large trees"!
Our light shining together is the forest.
With love to all,
Bob

Global Fire Vigil Weekend - Saturday update
The fire burns!
Today we had a sacred drama for the healing of the world and brought to the fire our lessons to go out into the world. We also had a conversation with our future generation, seven generations into the future. There was much hope and love in this connection. We also brought these gifts to the fire to share with you all.
Tonight, we prepare to receive the Taitanchi Ranti, Creator Rites, from the Q'ero and to be taken on a Wonder Voyage in a happy ship of fools to the other lands by our Irish delagation. Wish us luck on our journeys.
We hope that all is well with your fires and we send our love and blessings.
Con Munay,
Bob

Global Fire Vigil Weekend - update
After the creation of a medicine wheel and bringing in each of the the four directions at the mythic level, we lit a candle from each of the four directions and brought it to the fire pit. Don Francisco and Don Humberto lit our fire and it took off. Ashes were added from connecting the fire from sacred fires from all over the world. We added a Pachamama stick to the fire and sang songs, people played instruments and we created a happy fire. There was much joy around the fire as we received the Mosek Karpi, Star Keeper rites. One by one our numbers dwindled until the three fire keepers where holding vigil. A beautiful end to a beautiful day here at our vigil.
Con Munay,
Global Fire Vigil Weekend
Dear Friends, old and new,
What an incredible week here at Wakewood leading up to the Global Fire Vigil.
We have just finished three days or ceremony with the Q’ero. Don Francisco and Don Humberto are here with Wake and Kinlen in ceremony as we hold space and continue our sacred work in this community.
We have had folks here representing four continents, North America, South America, Australia and Ireland, err, I mean Europe.
We have had claimed our light at a fire ceremony and enriched our community by recognizing the gifts of this world that we are stewards of.
We have received the Pampa Mesayok, Day Keeper, Alto Mesayok, Wisdom Keeper and Kurak Akuyek, Earth Keeper rites.
We have connected our Apus, mountians, with all the mountains of our community and were cheered on by whales as we did.
We created a dispacio to carry the seeds of our becoming beyond the world to the universe. And watched it burn as we told the story of the world.
We have created a world mandala to to shine our light, our love and our being into the world, as a despacio and saw the Mamachoca, ocean, come and accept our prayers to carry forward.
Last night we enjoyed a performance of didjeridu by Tyler Spencer who made an incredible contemporary sound with an ancient instrument.
And we are still hours away from lighting the fire.
Exciting times!
I will be live blogging during the weekend to keep our community posted. We have set up the Beyond Infinity Bob blog that will allow you all to reach it and comment on your experiences.
Below is a description of the event. Please join us if you can.
Peace, love and light,
Bob
The Gathering of Shaman:
Global Vigil Fire
Co-created by Wake and Kinlen Wheeler, and the Global Ayllu of trained Shaman, including Don Francisco, and Don Humberto of the Q’eros.
September 19-21, 2008
This fall, over the Equinox weekend, we will be joining together again to continue to weave the New Global Tapestry. We will bring together all our hearts desires and visions of what the world can be. We will join each other in the fire and offer this weaving of visionary threads out to the Universe to conspire and co-create with us. Last year we had over 50 fires connected in this beautiful dream. Many of us feel this is the work we were born to do.
Logistics:
The Vigil Fire will begin Friday around 8 pm, Pacific Time and be tended by shaman, and dreamed through until Sunday at noon Pacific Time.
You may participate in any form you wish. Some people gather together in small groups, others prefer to dream in personal meditation. Some have a large bon fire, others a small fire, others create an alter with candles. Some use sacred drama to help shift or miqui heavy energy for the collective, some play music, dance, sing, etc… This is your opportunity to create a gift for the world and send it out in your own unique way.
What we have noticed in doing world work:
Wake and I have found, as with most shamanic work, that it is important to work through our selves, and be careful not to project on to the earth. It is important that if we feel the earth has been damaged, that we look for that damage within and use our shamanic tools to work with it there.
We have also found that if you have done much of your personal work, you have already contributed to the cleansing of energy in the world. It is now time to plant new seeds, nurture them, and dream big. All gardens have little weeds, but if we use our time always weeding, we have just barren ground. We need to spend most of our time planting and tending the seeds of our vision.
World Map we have a big world map showing all the participants names/locations. We will share our experience through e-mail. If you intend to join this vigil fire, please e-mail your name, location and comments to me, so you can be included on the Map, and in the e-mail communications.
