Message from the Grandmothers

March 2008

For the past few days I hadn't felt good and all I wanted to do was take a nice hot bath and get into bed. I had been looking forward to that, but no sooner did I get into that welcoming water than the Grandmothers began to talk to me. They had something to say and they wanted to say it now. No matter how I tried to put them off so i could soak a little while longer, they would not be denied. They were talking about the Gathering of the Grandmothers coming up March 7-9 and I realized I wanted to hear what they had to say. Finally I gave up, got out of the water and gave them my full attention.

"Okay, Grandmothers, I said at last, "I'm all yours. So tell me," I said, "what's the potential for this large Gathering of the Grandmothers coming up?" I didn't bother asking about the purpose of the gathering because I knew it was a good one. It was its potential that interested me.

"There is great potential in gatherings like this one," they answered. "Great potential. When you come together like this, you do so with a purposeful intention; you come for a good purpose." Then nodding their heads up and down and smiling broadly, they added, "The Divine will always support you when you have a pure and purposeful intention.

"In the case of the Gathering of the Grandmothers that will occur in March," they said, "many who are truly dedicated to serving Mother Earth and helping one another are coming together with this express purpose in mind. The purity of your intention and the energy of your shared commitment will rise up far above the facility where you will meet," they said. "What?

Grandmothers?" I asked. What, I wondered did they mean. "It will be seen for thousands of miles," they explained, nodding sagely. Then they pointed behind me and when I turned around, I saw an enormous mountain of light floating above the inn where the Gathering is scheduled to take place. This, I understood, was what they meant.

"The message that is drawing you together for this Gathering is a basically unselfish one and the quality of unselfishness is a great rarity on earth now," they said, shaking their heads sadly. "Whenever you gather together in order to serve the greater good, the entire universe stands up in support of you," they said. Thrilled by their words, I looked at them in surprise and tears started in my eyes.

"Women who lead Grandmothers groups around the world do so for the most part from a pure motive," the Grandmothers said. "They want to help," they gestured, opening their arms wide. "They are happy to give and receive love," they continued. "We rejoice when we see a purpose like this!" they said and each Grandmother raised her fist in triumph. "You have no idea the rejoicing there is in heaven when one such person steps forward and offers herself/himself in service. We are happy when you come together," they said. "We are very, very happy," they added, grinning from ear to ear, and by this time the tears were running down my cheeks.

"There will be more and more gatherings like this one-both large ones and smaller ones," they said. "The time has now come for the loving, holding force of the feminine principle to step forward and be recognized. To be recognized and honored," they emphasized.

"Life on earth needs its Mother now and at last She has come," the Grandmothers said, speaking softly and powerfully. "The work you are doing is ushering her in," they said, and added, "we rejoice in you and with you.

"We ask that you feel our presence with you whenever you gather together like this," they said, and as they spoke I was aware that they were speaking through me to everyone. "We love you deeply," they continued, "and we take joy in working with and through you. We ask you to take this same joy in yourselves, to own this joy and live in it," they said. And turning to me with radiant smiles, they said, "The time has come when together we shall do great things."

I gasped at their words and stared at them goggled eyed, but they weren't finished yet. "We are delighted that so many of you have decided to come along on the ride with us," they laughed. "The time is now," they said and then each Grandmother crooked a finger at me, threw back her head and cried, "Let's go!"
