Journey to the Sacred Mountain
By Beloved.
 I
journeyed to Mt. Shasta, in northern Ca.,
30 times in 7 years before I moved here in
2006! Some of my best memories here are of
my travels to the expansive inner dimensions
of self that have become a favorite part of
me. The thrill of discovery of self is far
more rewarding than the usual entertainment
made available by society, and it is
accessible from any point in the universe.
My first visit to Mt. Shasta afforded me a
new view, a new portal and perspective into
my own consciousness. Every visit and my
time living here has been time well spent;
truly a blessing far greater than I could
have imagined; and all of it full of soul
activation and evolution. The high
dimensional energy of this dormant volcano
and the community here, stirs up, lifts and
opens the hearts, minds and Spirit of those
who live there and visit in a most powerful
way.
Mt. Shasta is not only beautiful and
life-changing, but is also known as a
spiritual Mecca. People travel from all over
the world to experience the availability of
many high spiritual teachers, healers,
authors, musicians and places. Everywhere
you go there are magnificent views, magical
spots in nature and the welcoming faces of
loving hearts.
There are so many beautiful waterfalls and
lakes, trails and secret places of
breath-taking beauty to visit. You can go
somewhere new and wonderful everyday for
months. But, one of the most amazing sights
of all, is the sight of people connecting to
themselves and each other in a very “real”
and meaningful way. It is so common to see
people communing with nature on their own,
to see someone meditating by a stream or
under a tree, or to joyfully witness a
couple of friends reuniting and remembering
each other through soul gazing on a street
corner or in a grocery store.
There is a level of communication and
understanding in Mt. Shasta that I have not
witnessed anywhere else. The people I know
who live there are not only opening their
hearts and minds to a greater degree, they
operate through their subtle energetic
awareness. They intuit and rely upon their
guidance more as a group than other places.
They speak and listen silently- hearing loud
and clear the messages of intention, heart
and body. They live in the flow and grace of
“thinner veils”-knowing each person is
choosing to live and attain their highest
intention, unfolding and fulfillment of
heart and Spirit. Even the street banners
proclaim, (this is) “Where heaven meets
Earth!”
It is easy to feel like a God or Goddess
while basking in the sun and splendor of
this majestic mountain. The air is perfectly
dry and the breeze gentle. The sky is the
bluest ever and the water and snow sparkle
like there are diamonds in them. I always
find myself thinking like Dorothy in the
Wizard of Oz, “I’m not in Kansas anymore!”
It’s as if I have magical glasses on that
have enhanced my vision and perception.
If you ask the inhabitants of Mt. Shasta why
they are there, you will hear the same story
over and over. They will respond, “The
mountain called me and my heart found it’s
home.” It is not only a home in the physical
sense, but for them and myself as well, it
is a coming home to self and to soul family
that is most profound. The synchronistic
flow of life in a place that brings your
heart such joy and fullness is a great
blessing. And, it seems that the people who
feel called to Mt. Shasta find in the
mountain and each other, a vital part of
their own heart and of their soul’s
evolution and ascension.
I lead groups of people to Mt. Shasta each
summer. Every day they say, “This is the
most joy I’ve ever felt in my life! “ and
“This is the best day I’ve ever had!” All I
can do is agree and reply, “I know!” They
wonder how they can bring that glorious
feeling within, home with them. The greatest
gift I have gleaned from the mountain is the
magical, mystical union of self with Spirit.
It is not held by the mountain, rather, it
is inspired by the mountain. It is within
each of us to recognize and remember the
power and beauty of Spirit as we see it in
every beautiful scene and aspect of life and
that we can find the Beloved reflected in
everyone’s eyes and hearts.
