A Letter of Remembrance

Anahita Shares her Experience of the Ancestor's Gathering

From our friend, Anahita

 Introduction:

The Return of the Ancestor's Gathering was such a mind blowing experience, regardless of how we chose to take it in, our stories reflect something that is both unique and important to each one of us. What follows arrived in an email from our friend Anahita; it is her story of what happened to her during her time at the Ancestor's gathering. And because so much of what we're hearing from people who were there is reflected in Anahita's experience, we decided to share her story with all of you. Instead of trying to put it into a nutshell, we'll let Anahita's words speak for themselves - and Anahita; all of your contact information disappeared! If you're out there, and you're reading this, please shoot us an email and let us know how you're doing.

"To my dear honorable Elders and to my dear brothers and sisters from all over the world,

I returned home last week after this gathering that changed my life forever.

A couple of weeks before even knowing about the gathering I had a very clear dream.

I was standing in a circle with people holding hands. It was night and there were more stars in the sky that I had ever seen before in my life.

There was a huge fore in the middle and the people were beautiful. I got on my knees as the other people made a "hmmmmmm" vibration sound. I knew I had done this ceremony many times before as it felt so natural.

Then this waterfall of love came out of my heart. I never felt a love this strong before and at the same time it felt so familiar. It was the love I had been seeking for all my life. Since my childhood I always felt homesick. Longing for my real home, for my real family. This Love filled the hole in my heart.

And then it happened;

A light being appeared. It had the shape of a human, but it was bigger. My heart recognized him. (I call the being "him", although it wasn't male or female).

He was made of white/blue light and out of his eyes shined the brightest light I had ever seen.

He bent his head over and so did I. Then we looked at each other for a while and then he reached out his hand to me. I put my hand in his and the dream was over.

I woke up looking around in my bedroom, expecting for him to be there. My cheeks were wet from the tears I cried when his Love rained on me.

Days passed and I found out about this gathering. Immediately I knew I had to be there. I never saved money in my life, because I know I will always have money when I need it, but a couple of months before, I knew I had to put some money aside. The money I saved was the exact amount I would need for the trip.

I registered with Adam that same day.

I arrived in Sedona with four others on the 16th. Immediately I fell in love with Sedona. I have seen quite a lot of the world, but Sedona felt like another planet. With the help of Spirit I will live there someday. I saw the beings in the mountains; I saw the strangest clouds, which I knew weren't clouds.

Everything was alive and conscious.

If I could write down everything I experienced during this trip, it would be too much.

What is important to me is that the elders made me remember a lot of what was hidden deep inside me. They healed my connection with my Mother and my Father. And as Don Alejandro spoke, he made me remember who I am and why I came to earth again. After the fire ceremonies I had very clear dreams and meditations. I came to learn so much about myself and how I have worked from the very beginning towards this gathering and these times. I felt there were agreements and very long time ago, promises and dedications - and together we kept our promises.

During certain ceremonies the same Love would appear in me and all around me, sometimes paralyzing me so I would be kneeling with my forehead on my mother earth for a long time not being able to move. I knew I was being helped.

The last day I prayed at the fire asking the Ancestors to help and guide us. After the ceremonies ended, we went to Sedona, to see the beautiful Spirited Mountains one last time.

It was getting dark and we were driving towards the mountains. I told my friends; we have to ask for a sign. And I used the words I learned;

"Heart of the Heavens, Heart of the Earth, to Great Spirit; my Ancestors, please let us know if we did ok, please give us a sign that we did ok." At the same times tears came out of my eyes and Antonio all of a sudden stopped the car as he was pointing at the sky yelling: "Look!! Look!!!"

A green light with the color of red in the middle flashed across the sky. It disappeared behind the mountains and there the sky turned brightly green.

It was amazingly beautiful.

I don't know if it was a meteor or something else.

It was the sign I was waiting for.

I am now in the process of changing my life drastically. I quit my job, and we (me, Antonio and Lidija who were also there) are setting up a concept of healing people for free. Ernesto of the youth council woke me up when he said; certain people have the gift of healing with their hands. We should do what our talent is.

Next year the three of us and my two children will travel through South America starting in Peru, where we will try to heal our brothers and sisters with our hands.

So we surrender completely to Great Spirit as we quit our jobs and have no savings, for we know we are always being helped.

We are in service of Humanity, so thank you my dear Elders, thank you my brothers and sisters for remembering who I am."

With Love,
Anahita
