“What would I think about today, if I knew those very thoughts would command leagues of the unseen?
What would I say today, if I knew each word I chose would send great waves into motion?
What would I do today, if I knew the Universe would glean from the slightest of my moves, whether or not I believed in life’s magic, so that the Universe could prove me right?
Every thought, every deed, whether they serve me or not, changes everything.”
I received the anonymously posted phrase above from a friend last week and thought it was a fitting beginning for this post.
So, what does your masterpiece of paradise look like?
Throughout the Bone Throwing series on the oil spill the Spirits have made it very clear that if we want to change things, WE need to change.
The Spirits have been pin-pointedly clear about that.
If we don’t wake-up, we’ll get more wake-up calls. Equally, if we do wake-up, we’ll get less, or none.
This oil spill event is a wake-up call, more and more of us realize that. Most importantly, it wasn’t the first one, and it likely ain’t the last.
Did you know there was an oil well blowout in the gulf in the late 70s and they weren’t able to stop it for almost 10 months?
Did you know that oil spills are a weekly occurrence in Nigeria?
But oil spills aren’t our only problems, or our only wake-up calls.
I’m sure most of us could come up with a long list of events which would qualify as wake-up calls, global and personal.
The question is not how long we can make the list and which events are real and which are conspiracy fantasies so far out there they are floating in the asteroid belt.
The question is, what are we waking-up “from” – or “to” – or “for”?
We all have to answer those questions for ourselves.
While it may not look quite like it, we’ve come a long way.
When Kay was studying with the Hetakas in the 70s and 80s the images of what’s to come at the time where much worse than what we are seeing today.
So we have made a shift.
However small that shift may have been, it was large enough to prevent, hopefully not just postpone, much worse disasters than what we are seeing today.
But, our work is just getting rolling.
In one of our discussions about the Bone Throw series on the oil spill Alan mentioned that the only way he knows how to make a difference is to quiet his mind, slow his thoughts and see what is really going on in his head by meditating.
Fabulous. That can be a great start.
Now the next step is finding out what we are doing the other 23 hours of our day.
Let me try to more clearly describe what I’ve been trying to share with my recent posts.
If we all were to put our thoughts and feelings into images, lets say paintings, what would the final masterpiece for each day of our lives look like?
Imagine we all have this giant canvas for each day and everything we think instantaneously appears on the canvas and by the end of the day we have this masterpiece of our creation all filled with a representation of all our feelings, all our emotions, all our thoughts.
How many of us would end up with a masterpiece representing quiet and calm, beauty, love and peace and happiness, creative inspiration, deep deep caring love and friendship, deep deep caring for ourselves, others, the world, indeed all life?
How many of us would end up with paintings, all of which we would want to have in our bedroom so they’d be the last thing we would see when going to sleep at night?
How many of us would do everything we could to have a bedroom so giant that we could hang all our paintings from each day we’ve lived so we could see them all just before we fall asleep at night?
Now, if we are honest with ourselves, how many of us would end up with large areas of the paintings for each day representing nothing less than nuclear war zones?
Well, hold on to your panties, we are creating those paintings.
These are all our psychic paintings and yes indeed we have created mansions full of them and yes indeed we do go to sleep by them every night.
Not only that, but we’re forcing many others to go to sleep by them every night as well.
Is that what you want to keep doing?
So many of us talk about love and light, we use that quite loosely in our interactions these days.
But how many of us not only really truly mean it, but are also capable of meaning it throughout all our waking hours of the day, our lives even, microsecond to microsecond?
I personally know very few people who not only mean it when they say love and light, they truly live it.
Their light part is not a nuclear device going off on their painting, it truly is deep deep love and caring which generates that light.
I know these people would try to do anything they could to get a bedroom large enough to be able to have all their paintings from each day on the walls to fall asleep by in real life.
From what I can observe, many of us do want these same abilities and gifts to truly create those kind of paintings each day.
Few of us however have made the commitment (here is that word again) to do so.
So if we want to wake-up, if we really truly want to wake-up, we need to make that commitment, without a back door.
The desire to wake-up is the first step in making that commitment.
Once we have announced our desire, we need to take the steps, we need to commit to follow through, we need to commit to change all areas of our life which are not in line with waking-up.
Are you thinking maybe you’re about ready to step out of the war zone paintings?
Are you ready, willing and able to make that kind of commitment?
How does one even go about making this kind of commitment?
We’ll share more about that in future posts, or maybe we should do a Bone Throw video about it.
What do you think?
Love and Song,
Helmut
Questions or comments? Use this link to share your thoughts and questions, but also to let us know if you’d like to hear what the Spirits of the Bones have to say about commitment and waking-up.
Thanks for this Helmut. I thought I was doing all I could but I realize you have given us another method for “dreaming a new world”. I believe we can do it. We just need to wake up and start painting. Donna
Dear Kay, dear Helmut, I think, I´m on the way and my paintings become more and more beatiful almost every day. I have been writing a novel for the last 16 months – it was the wish of my allies in the Under and the Upper world, first of all the Goddess of Earth. It is my 6th book. Kay herself and the message of Kays Book “The reluctant Shaman” are a part of it – and many other writers and poets and wise men and women – dead or alive. There is no piece in the novel, that did not come out of a trance-journey.
I had to make my decision to wake up with the age of 24 (I´m now 56) and since then I was true to my commitment as good as I could. My book will be ready soon (800 pages) – and I am confident with the result – good painting, made by bigger ones than I am. Everything You do is beautiful, Kay and Helmut. I did not see bone through 2, 3 and 4 yet. I need time for it. This weekend will be perfect. Than I can think about my wish, what I long to hear and see from You. Brigitte
Hey Helmut,
.
it’s funny to read your massage, ’cause I’m an artist and what you write about is that what I did in my latest work. Weeks ago I started to paint a vision of the world I want to live in, it’s not ready yet but so wonderful. It helps me to stay in my heartenergy or as you would say, in my song. It is very powerful to picture the world we want to live in, it starts whith asking myself the question, how does this world or better paradies (thank’s helmut) look like?
I asked this question also friends of mine and for some it was hard to reply to that, they even didn’t want to think about it as if it is a waste of time. I think this has to do with fear and the believe that we have no power to change, ’cause when I picture my dreamworld I also get aware that the world I live in right now is not like the world I want to live in. If I know that I have power to change, than I feel pure joy about my picture, but if I believe that I have no power, than it makes me sad and I don’t want to think about it.
We have to picture and we have to believe in our self, this is a very important work, thanks for posting this.
Pictueres are very powerful, I got to know that in my work as a photoartist and painter, we have the chance to get to know our self better through pictures by making them, dreaming them, by doing inner travelling- active dreaming-, by looking at them and the best thing is it makes fun
Helmut and Kay I deeply thank you for beeing so actively present, it’s wonderful to follow your work, I feel very connected.
song to song
heart to heart

Dear Kay and Helmut, Thank you for all you do to remind me of my song. This article is a good thought provoker. For me, it works to start on small steps and add to them often. Today most of my masterpiece would be very nice but there would be dark places in the corners or other hidden places. These would represent my uncontrolled mindless comments or judgements that slip into my mind for little actions of others such as bad drivers, rude people in line, etc. My 1st commitment is to notice the thoughts and change them into a blessing for myself and the other person. This commitment is a small positive step that I WILL do. Then next week I will add another one. : )
I have watched the videos of the oil spill bone throws and have made a commitment to look at use of petroleum products in my life. I believe that even very small steps will be helpful. In this awareness, my 1st action is to stop using so many individual water bottle. Even though I have always recycled them, I want to create even less waste with reusable containers. I will continue to look for others ways to reduce also.
Many blessings to you and this community,
Lora
What does waking up look like?
What does waking up feel like?
What do the spirits of the bones mean by “waking up”?
A lot of spiritual teachers talk about “waking up” but it seems to be different things to each person. Some people would say, “Wake up and follow what I say,” or “Wake up and stop driving your car.”
So, concretely, viscerally, what does waking up entail or not entail, in terms of actions, for the bone spirits?
Believe me, energy and intention are good, and I’m happy to hear about that too, but what else?
My masterpiece of paradise looks like everyone understanding how to start their own businesses and not being afraid to do it, the banks lending them the money, these new entrepreneurs employing other entrepreneurs, the millions of unemployed become employed doing what they truly love to do, instead of just looking for anything. My paradise includes people learning how to make their own food, clothing, and power, and entrepreneurs creating green technologies for their new businesses, and helping, town by town, city by city, state by state, and country by country, everyone stopping their dependence on oil and foreign outsourcing. My paradise includes strong labor unions to help people have rights at work, help people be protected and stand strong together. My paradise has the book publishing industry be flattened to include anyone who wants to be a publisher, and having infinite shelves online to hold real and virtual books. My paradise has self-actualized people realizing their blind beliefs, and letting go of them if they feel that is necessary. My paradise has a department of peace, not a department of defense. My paradise has no more orange alerts, just lots of money for students to be self directed from the earliest ages in school settings, learning 2-3 days a week reading, writing, arithmetic, and the other two days shadow someone with an interesting job, and then work on a year-long project of their choice. My paradise has people revealing who they really are, without fear, all of the time. My paradise takes away privatized prisons, and instead helps people inside prisons find rehabilitation through food, yoga, exercise, access to any book, and a counselor who helps them have deeper understanding of themselves.
That is my paradise.

Thank you all so much for sharing, we appreciate your comments and thoughts very much.
I wanted to reply to each of your comments but got so caught up in our projects and before I knew it, it’s the middle of the week again and I haven’t written anything.
One thing I would like to share a thought specifically about is Lora’s commitment to make one change every week.
I’d suggest to give yourself a bit more time than that. You are working on changing deep seated habits and in our experience that takes a bit more than a week. Try a month and see how that works for you.
Thank you all again.
Song to Song,
Helmut
