Each time I travel to the Southwest, I happen to cross paths with a different, indigenous Indian man who shares an important teaching with me.

The common thread that runs through these teachings is a message about navigating a period of accelerated change, disruption and instability on this planet.

This cycle involves our sun’s natural rhythms as it journeys around the Milky Way galaxy, and the simultaneous maturing process of human beings within this solar system.

According to indigenous and shamanic belief, the adventures and affairs of our sun get reflected on every level, from the geography and weather of the Earth, to our social structures and the activity of our individual brains — the way we think and interact with each other, and our transition, disruptive and tumultuous as it may be, into a new era.

Through conversations with members of the Hopi and Pueblo tribes of the Southwest and with shamanic practitioners trained within the Pacific Northwest tribal traditions, I have come to the following understanding of their views on this dynamic phase that we are moving more deeply into.

All the stars in our galaxy are flowing in a channel of energy that is traveling out from the black hole in the center of the Milky Way.

This energy contains the electromagnetic spectrum, and also other depths and dimensions of energy that cannot be measured by the equipment our scientists use.

Shamans describe this energy as a hum, melody or harmony.

They call it The Sound of Creative Intelligence and Love.

It can serve as an organizing force or a disruptive force, depending on how particles or beings (stars, planets, and people) are relating to it.

Our sun belongs to a group of local “brother stars” that orbit around the center of the galaxy together.

As this star group passes through different regions of the galaxy, it encounters clouds of cosmic energy that vary in intensity and frequency of vibration. (These clouds are made up of particles that are not currently focused into stars.)

This causes a “push and pull” cycle… the brother stars either gather together or disperse as they traverse the changing galactic terrain.

This activity correlates well with our scientists’ understanding of open star clusters, which they say are loosely bound by mutual gravitational attraction and become disrupted by close encounters with other clusters and clouds of gas as they orbit the galactic center.

The concept of intelligent energy flowing out from the center of our galaxy is similar to our scientists’ view of a quasar.

A quasar occurs in the center of a galaxy and consists of a supermassive black hole that sucks in gas, emits powerful electromagnetic radiation and can be observed at radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray wavelengths. 

Astronomers have actually found evidence for sound waves that travel out from supermassive black holes.

“About 250 million light years away, at the center of a cluster of thousands of galaxies, a supermassive black hole is humming to itself in the deepest note the universe has ever heard (as far as we know). The note is a B-flat, about 57 octaves below middle C, which is about a million billion times deeper than the lowest frequency sound we can hear.” (Kiona Smith-Strickland, 2015)

Also, some electromagnetic waves pulsate at the same wavelength as the sound waves detectable by the human ear.

NASA has recorded electromagnetic waves out in space and used instruments to translate them into sound waves that we can listen to.

A simple analogy for our sun and its brother stars traversing the galaxy together, could be a group of kayaks floating down a river.

The river is the creative, intelligent energy flowing from the center of the galaxy and the kayaks are the stars.

When they approach eddies in the river, which represent the different clouds of energy, the kayaks may disperse or collect in order to navigate them.

Our sun at this time is experiencing the part of its journey where it is farthest away from its brother stars. It is experiencing a “waning phase”, where it is more isolated and its energy-generating proclivities are decreased.

It is no longer being stimulated by the proximity of the other stars or energy units.

Like a human, who becomes isolated, it shifts from an extroverted mode to an introverted mode.

The sun, as an energy construct, has two modes of operation: it is projecting energy out or sucking energy in.

It sucks energy into itself through vortexes which our scientists refer to as sunspots. Shamans describe sunspots as being “tiny black holes” within the sun.

While they involve higher concentrations of electromagnetic energy around their rims on the sun’s surface, in their centers they are funneling inward, drawing energy into the center of the sun.

When sunspots appear to be shrinking on the outside of the sun, they are simultaneously ballooning deeper inside.

They act like drains or back doors to solar flares.

Stanford-based scientists confirm that sunspots “consist of very strong, downward flows of plasma traveling toward the interior of the sun… you find material rushing inward, like a planet-sized vortex.”6

While scientists observe the affects that solar flares have on the Earth’s electromagnetic field, they underestimate the significance of the sunspots.

The indigenous people’s ancestors taught that the Earth’s weather, geography, and atmosphere are first and foremost, dictated by the sun’s weather.

There is an energy equation between the sun and the Earth.

The sun, containing over a million times the mass of the Earth, is the far more dominant part of the equation.

As sunspots suck more energy into the sun during its waning phase, they pull energy from the Earth’s surface. This causes an inflammatory response on the Earth.

Because of my training in Chinese medicine, I will use the analogy of Chinese cupping therapy to describe this reaction.

Acupuncturists use round glass cups and heat them with an open flame to create a vacuum effect within the cup. They then quickly place them on the patient’s body in strategic locations.

The cup sucks the surface tissues up inside of itself.

The skin, fascia, and muscle tissue get stretched and pulled up into the cup. This releases tension and scar tissue, while also stirring the circulation of blood and lymph fluids through vessels, and stimulating the flow of qi or life force energy through the acupuncture meridians of the body.

The increased blood flow turns the skin red at first, then leaves a blue bruise under the cup. In areas where patients have toxic buildup, for example the surface skin just over the liver, a dark, brownish bruise will be left behind due to toxins rising up to the surface.

When one, or one hundred sunspots, known or unknown to man, have this sucking effect, energy is pulled from the surface of the Earth, and the Earth begins to react, all the way to its core.

The Earth’s weather, crust, water flow patterns, and the Earth’s own acupuncture meridians or ley lines are all affected. It upsets systems and patterns.

It brings things to the fore that were usually in the back; it pushes things to the back that were usually in the front. This gets reflected on every level.

We will see a “break up” in the physical Earth and weather, and in how humans think, feel, behave and interact.

This will cause a break up in social structures that have become restricting.

Information that was hidden will come out into the light, and there will be a break up of the groups of people that have been in power behind the scenes.

We are already seeing the acceleration of this process.

During the past year, extreme weather and internal conflict within our nation has noticeably increased.

A stream of people in politics, Hollywood and business have been exposed for misconduct.

Reporters for The New York Times have been allowed to release teasers about our government’s involvement with the u.f.o. Phenomenon.

And research into ancient monuments like Gobekli Tepe continues, leading archaeologists to acknowledge that advanced civilization on this Earth existed much earlier than they previously conceived.

While solar flares produce a surge of energy, sunspots involve a powering down of energy.

This oscillation of the sun, the surging highs and sucking lows of this solar activity during the sun’s waning phase, also affects our brains and our moods.

Near the peak of this previous inflammatory process on the Earth, when weather conditions were approaching their most extreme, they were visited by beings from other solar systems.

These “star beings” used inter-dimensional travel, had advanced understanding of this galaxy, and came to Earth to help our species survive.

They brought some of the indigenous tribes down into caverns within the Earth to wait out the “storm”.

These visitors used technologies to build cities and grow gardens underground and welcomed the indigenous people to stay as long as needed. In some locations, certain tribes lived under the Earth for centuries.
