J's Journey
A Transformation Story

My journey began at the time I was born to my beautiful parents and my special Mother who was already searching for spirit. My mother made me strong and introduced me to meditation and mind control through Silva Mind Control workshops. At the age of ten we moved from the Loddon River to Melbourne. I spent my teen years meditating and learning about how energy worked, gathering knowledge on traditional wisdom at the same time. In my early twenties I went to Alice Springs in the Northern territory where I began to work for an Aboriginal Hostel looking after elders in their last stages of life. I felt a change and began teaching about Aboriginal culture spirit and life. I worked at this time very closely with the Walpiri Tribe, learning and sharing their lives, learning about bush tucker and medicine. The Walpiri tribe became my family and I took my new name Jupurrula, which means Rainbow Serpent.

Spirit connected me to Mutigarra an Aboriginal medicine woman; she took me on as a student. I began guiding people around Uluru and Kata-Juta, which was a great time of training in how to teach and also how to work with spirit. I was filled with the love from Uluru and Kata-Juta. I then returned to Daylesford and to my teacher Ananda Tara Shan and was guided to work with Aboriginal spirits from the past. I was guided to begin building stone circle across the country to help reconnect earth and spirit, to cleanse the song lines that had not been walked for so long.

I met Star, who is now my wife. Star, my mother and I were guided to build the stone circle at the Sanctuary of the Heart in Daylesford. We held a big ceremony. The circle gave birth to the rainbow serpents, and we carried them to Uluru in seven days, where Star and I fell in love. We knew our journey was to carry on the work together. We spent a year in Alice Springs working on the patterns blocking the light between us. I spent this time teaching about spirit of the Aboriginal people and Uluru. We have returned in the last year to Daylesford to have a baby and study. We continue to work on old patterns and the new ones as well, with spirit as our guide. Using the many tools, we keep working on the seemingly never ending programs that block the light.

Saturday DEC, 7, 2002: DAY OF PEACE MOTHER'S CEREMONY at the medicine wheel and Aboriginal stone circle:
As I entered the area of the ceremony I was introduced to Peace Mother by Arani Heartly-Allen, I had seen Peace Mother once before as I was guided to go into the building in Castlemaine, where she held healing sessions. I was drawn to go into the shop, just to connect energies with her, and saw her briefly as she was talking to someone, but we had not formally met until December 7th. When I arrived for the workshop, I went and placed my belongings on the grass, as the drumming had already begun. I was called down the track into the forest, seemingly by my bladder, but actually by spirit. There, waiting for me, were the old Aboriginal spirits I had worked with on many occasions. They could feel the energy that was building. I told them a ceremony was happening and everything was good and safe and to come and join in the dancing.

I returned to the stone circle and maintained my energy, as the old Aboriginal Spirits are quite serious in energy when ceremony is taking place. I stayed aware of their presence during the ceremony, especially, the main man, the Kadytche man who was overseeing, making sure that everything was o.k.

Peace Mother took us to the medicine wheel where we worked for some time. As Peace Mother talked at the start of the ceremony I was noticing a triangle forming between Peace Mother, Star, and myself. Then we moved over to the stone circle where Peace Mother continued on with the ceremony. As I follow the Aboriginal ways, I was not able to join in the ceremony as it had turned out there were many woman and only three men so it felt for this time in the circle, it was meant to be a women's place and not for the warriors to enter. I was guided to stand and then sit on the high side of the circle and hold the energy and create some sort of divider between the road and the ceremony. I rose and walked to Peace Mother who needed help in moving a big gong. The elders and warriors where happy with the ceremony and the respect that was shown and the great love Peace Mother gives to all.

I then walked the "old people", the spirit men and women, back down the path. They were dancing and singing, they were happy, as they always love a ceremony. I returned to the ceremony and noticed the seriousness had lifted and we were able to feel the joy! I could now enter the circle and participate in the closing of the ceremony. I felt the space be created for Peace Mother to stand in the space next to me in the final circle. I raised my hand with corn meal and seed as a bee came and landed and rummaged in my hand in the corn meal. My connection with Peace Mother was confirmed and I knew there was work to be done, just as a busy bee works. Even though I had resistance to this new journey I sat down later with Peace Mother and excepted the beautiful apple Juice that was offered to me by Peace Mother, an offering not to be refused.

MY JOURNEY THAT BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY:
I left the ceremony realising the perfect and amazing timing of the meeting with Peace Mother and the passing away of Ananda Tara Shan, my teacher, thus allowing a new teacher to enter my life or allowing me to except a new teacher in my life. I felt the fragility of the new energies and changes entering my body and went to sleep nervous of the future. Sunday was spent relaxing only after Star called Peace Mother to confirm our willingness to help with her work. As often happens, we where guided to Newstead to connect with the town's energies. We felt it was important to do this before actually starting the work with Peace Mother that we knew would take place. After many calls back and forth, where we were not able to connect directly with Peace Mother, we were sure there was a lot of excitement on all sides for the connection, but the meeting just was not meant to take place that day. After finally speaking with Peace Mother on the phone, we arranged a time to meet and work and this eased the excitement. I had been guided by Ananda's spirit that I was not to let this opportunity pass me by! I spent the next two days doing physical work and that helped with the integration of the new energies that were coming in. I was put in a position where I got to see my step Father react to a situation where he was not in control. This helped me to see where I sometimes have a similar reaction, particularly going into a situation where selfless service may be in place.

The morning of my meeting I woke up in fear that I may not be pure enough in body and soul to work with Peace Mother, so I meditated. Star had taken the girls to school and returned shortly after to find me in a space of total non-trust and fear. I was feeling very heavy and sleepy with the energies that were about me. We sat down to play the "transformation game" and look at this fear that had surfaced to be worked on, before I went to Peace Mother. I was scared that I may not live up to Peace Mother's standards and fail her and be told I was a bad person, which is a thought I constantly fight with. I could not remove the feeling that everything that Peace Mother asked was a test. As a child I was sent away by my mother and father to do a job on the farm, where I was beaten and sexually abused, so this situation brought up old fears, in that I felt I had no control over the jobs I may be given and I felt I had to trust that I would not end up in shame. As the game progressed I asked for healing, forgiveness and release. I could see that by living in this fear, I had forgotten my true self, that I had no trust or respect for my self, which I knew was the one thing Peace Mother wanted. She had invited me Jupurrula, not the scared little boy, to assist her.

Through help from Star and the transformation game I saw clearly that my fears were unfounded. I now felt I was going into the situation with the idea to do everything as correct as possible, so I would not be shamed. I give thanks to all those who gave me this gift to see my perfection.

END OF MY FIRST DAY WITH PEACE MOTHER: HOW I FEEL NOW
As my fear is subsided I feel overwhelmed with the mission that the future holds for me, but my trust in spirit holds true, knowing I will only be given what I can handle at every present moment. I feel a peace come into my body as the bonds are formed and knowing my environment is safe and filled with love and light. Each moment I'm feeling more grounded in the work ahead and the fear is pushed aside. My connection with the native people is coming in strong and the healing of the darkness within the Earth from the neglect of self is ringing in my soul. I can feel the love pouring in my heart as this is part of all my training and the connections I have made.

MY SECOND DAY WITH PEACE MOTHER
After the first day's work with Peace Mother I felt shattered through my body and vulnerable. The programs that had been moved and healed in the previous days had left me open to a whole New World of loving. Star had noticed the change but it took some time to realise the shift that had taken place.

Thursday morning we had to sign a lease agreement for a new house moving us out of the sanctuary of the bush and forward to the town of Daylesford. The house had been quite abused and neglected and we were taking it on the premises that we would paint and polish it up. My wife voiced her fear about the house, as it was not neat enough and seemed dark and heavy. We signed the papers anyway and went to the house to choose the colours for the paint, and were met by confusion and frustration. We left to clear our heads and determine what the energy was, that was blocking our decisions. I was told strongly by spirit that this was the house we were meant to have. After returning home we felt the fog clear. It became clear that the house is a corner stone and since it is in the centre of town, it has an eagle vision. It has a sacred place underneath it, and the house was drawing energy to itself, but because of the energy under the house, the rest of the house was blocked from connecting to the earth.

We worked through our issues of being over-whelmed and returned to the house armed with stones and great quartz crystal that I had been guided to collect months previously. As soon as we returned the confusion blasted us, but we cut though it with love and soon the job that had to be done was finished. We placed three stone circles under the house in a triangle saying prayers, and noticed that as we did this, instantly the confusion in the house lifted. In the front yard I cut a circle in the grass with the mower and connected the path to the road. I laid down more stones and prayers. To the back of the house, with the help of spirit, I placed five large rocks, one in each of the four directions and one in the centre. As I moved the stones I had cut my finger, so I wiped the blood on all four stones, impregnating them with my intentions. Energy poured in and the build up of energy was now free to flow. It was then time to leave and let spirit do its work without disturbance.

My fear of not being able to type well enough had to be overcome and with the homework Peace Mother gave me, I was pushed to practice and gained new confidence. I am learning to love my self more and more, to realise I am a unique human being filled with wisdom something I have continually denied. But no longer! I am free!
