Light into matter Monday, May 8, 2017. Sunday, May 14, 2017. Leaving my body. Flying out the window. Over the land and the water and going down to the tree. Climbing up through its trunk. All the way to the <p. Coming out the <p. And climbing the stairs. It's very quiet. Up the stairs to the Dragon Master s house. Everything feels very fresh and green. There are more trees on the top of the peak than ever before. I fly over the wall, down into the garden. Between the likle bamboo grove and the tea house. And they re wai<ng for me there. Hello my friends. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? I'm aware of the likle pool by the bamboo grove. And it's full of tadpoles and dragonflies. Very, very rich with life. We go outside to the Overlook and the trees are full of leaves and blooms. And the opposite bank is covered I'm aware of trees and blossoms, of blooms and buds everywhere. Grasses springing up And everything is just so full of life. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? As I breathe in and out I'm becoming not a big, old tree But a young medium-sized tree. I can feel the strength, the life, and the vitality. How good it feels to be alive To have my roots and my feet touching the ground and sinking in. My trunk reaching up and flexing with the winds. And my branches waving around like my arms. The strength and the vitality in my arms. And the leafy canopy growing, spreading, expanding. Being in the fullness of power and flow. It's a very different kind of power. It's very generous and a kind of grateful, willing acceptance. Of sunlight. Of earth. Of wind and water. 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 1 of 10
It's not a grasping power, or a controlling it's the power of a kind of beingness. As this tree, I can feel a kind of transforma<on taking place. Sunlight Father Sun and Grandmother Moon power and energy from above, a ceaseless flow of light turning into maker in my leaves and branches and trunks. And drawing up some other kind of ineffable power and connec<on from Mother Earth below. That s becoming maker leaf and trunk and branch. And how I grow in presence from year-to-year. And then give back, or give out. Then I shelter all those who live below me and in me. And they dance and stand in concert with my brothers and sisters, with the other trees. And how we watch and guard and just are. And it's the same for everything that roots and grows in sun and soil. Sun and Earth. And balance with the winds. (And the wind is another story.) Thank you, my friends. Breathing back into my body, I come back into myself out of the trees, the trees. Thank you, my friends. Leaving them in the likle garden, I go back to the edge and down the stairs. To the castle below. Slide down the <p of the tree. Fly back, over land and water. Through the window. And I'm back. 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 2 of 10
Wind and games May 9, 2017. Leaving my body. Flying out the window over to the tree. Climbing up its trunk. Climbing out its <p and up to the Dragon Master s peak. Again the trees are full of leaves and blossoms. There is growth everywhere. I fly across the ravine, over the bridge in the waterfall. Down to the Emperor's Pavilion. They re wai<ng for me there with young trees and growth all around. Hello my friends. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? Again, there's a chess set there, with the game in play. And they get up and leave the game. There s a contrast. I can feel the weight of the chess pieces, and the board, and a solidity and a structure there. With the rules and the history. Outside it the pavilion, I'm very aware of the edge at one side. And the valley below. And I can feel the wind blowing how it ligs and curls and scakers leaves, pieces of paper, pollen, flowers birds. And there is a playful, free, tumbling lightness and power with the winds. I don't understand. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? In the chess game there's a kind of striving and a considera<on a calcula<on to wins through to the other side. To play the game and to win. And that never ends. There is no final winner. That's a human construct and the game is played inside the pavilion. Within another structure. Within another designed, considered space. And it all around all around the pavilion is the landscape. The life in the trees on the grasses, the hills, the wind. And then those hidden stories deep in the earth 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 3 of 10
What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? So the rules of the game are not the rules of life. In fact, the wind doesn't obey rules. I don t understand. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? The game is a mixture of skill and chance. Dancing with the wind is a kind of surrender and acceptance. It's a deeper game. There is no winning with the wind there is just the wind. And being with it. This feels This is a very different kind of awareness. Or aitude. Very hard to put into words. This feeling of being the wind. Of being with the wind. It's not clear to me They reinforce or repeat the breathing, flowing, trus<ng this experience. Of the wind carrying the leaf, or the birds. Thank you my friends. We land by the Pavilion again. I leave them there and fly back over towards the house. Down the cleg to the castle. Slide down the tree. Fly back towards the city. To the roogops of the chimneys. Through the window. And I'm back. 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 4 of 10
New life Wednesday, May 10, 2017. Leaving my body. Out the window and over the land. Down to the tree. Climbing up its trunk high, high, high. Through the sky. Up to the Dragon Master s peak. All the gates are closed? The Moon Gate is open. I go through into the Zen garden. And from there, into the Hidden Garden. They re wai<ng for me at the center. Hello my friends. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? For the first <me there are likle <ny green shoots in the soil, on the floor of the garden. The walls are s<ll thick with vines. In the roof and wires too. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? We sink down into the soil. I can feel that it's fresh and new and that it's been somehow strengthened. It's a reservoir of life, a reservoir of fresh, new soil. Connec<ng down into the depths. It's a feeling of what it's like for new beginnings. And even in the harshest I'm geing a picture of of a stony desert, dry landscape Even there you can make a likle wall, a likle sheltered area. And you can nourish and bring life in to a likle pocket. And this is just a larger picture, or a larger example, of that. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? They're also showing how, in a desert, along the camel trail, you have oases at intervals. Again, these are pockets of sheltered, protected, tended life. Life is precious and strong. And must be nurtured, protected. In the rich place, like a jungle, it spreads out and covers everywhere. In forests too. And that we become our own gardens. That tending yourself is like tending a garden. 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 5 of 10
What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? It is about preparing the seed and soil. Protec<ng likle pockets of life and leing these seeds become seedlings. There's something about the delicacy and the protec<on and the nurture Just like with the child to protect, to nurture, to akend the newborns and the young. The delicate. There is really nothing more important then that. We walk very carefully making sure not to step on the seedlings back out the doorway. Into the Zen garden. Thank you my friends. I leave them there. Return down to the castle. Through the cleg and slide down the tree. All the way to the bokom. Fly back towards the city. Through the window. And I'm back. 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 6 of 10
Cloud of awareness Thursday, May 11, 2017. Leaving my body. Flying out the window, over land and water to the tree. Climbing up, inside the tree, to the <p. Stepping out going around the garden down the path to the Ancient Forest. I meet them at the base of the old tree. Hello my friends. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? Again, we float up through the trees into the sunbeams and the light and find ourselves transforming into bukerflies or dust motes. Just awareness floa<ng up through the jungle above. And breathing up into It's the awareness of the jungle, of the forest. Every tree. Every branch. Every bud. Every leaf. Every insect, par<cle, bird, soil, worm, root. It's all one giant knowingness. And I can feel it all And a body is not the right word. It is whole and aware. It's like the spirit of the forest everything that's alive has an individual spark of life. And there's a sense of all these sparks, points of life and energy, moving around. But there is another presence or awareness of the whole. And as I breathe in, breathe with them, I can expand into the feeling of it all. And it's easier to do in this journey state, than in the actual jungle or forest. But that is an ul<mate possibility. To stand in a garden, a woodland, a park, a river, lake Anything like that And let go. Drop my personal, limited awareness. And expand out into the whole garden, the park, or the woodland. Become like a mist of awareness or a cloud of awareness. As we breathe, or be, the awareness I'm in, or I'm observing It's always It's literally immeasurable. Or the size of the forest But I feel myself 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 7 of 10
The picture is like a drop of ink falling into water. It starts out very small and then it expands into more and more and more of the water. Somehow my awareness is a likle bit like that. As I'm present to this process this cloud of awareness, this cloud of knowing and breathe, in effect, my volume increases as my awareness flows out into a greater and greater distance from where I first coalesced. Or let go. OK, now we re shrinking back, or becoming/condensing. The cloud of awareness is becoming smaller and smaller. Breathing back Going from this diffuse awareness into more of a form. Feeling our bodies becoming solid. And our awareness coming to the point of of our individual selves. Now we're standing in the jungle, all three of us. Thank you my friends. We sink down through the soil, through the forest floor, to the Ancient Tree below. The Ancient Forest. I leave them there and walk back along the path. To the <p of the tree and slide down. To the base. Flying back over land and water to the city. Through the windows. And I'm back. 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 8 of 10
Spirit tools and adventures Friday, May 12, 2017. Leaving my body. Out the window over land and water to the tree. Up to its trunk and out the <p. Up into the air, through the cleg, to the Dragon Master s house. The Square Gate is open. I go through, down the hallway, into the Dojo. The back door is open into the garden. I step into the garden. They re wai<ng for me there. Gandalf with the staff. The Dragon Master with a sword. Standing underneath the flowering trees. Hello my friends. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? So we got the gate. This is new there is rich, tall grass everywhere on the top of the Dragon Master s peak. We re walking through the grass towards the bridge and the ravine. Cross the bridge the river is in full flow. There's a sense of adventure or expectancy. Like we re star<ng a trip, a long trip of some kind. An adventure. A journey. An explora<on. I'm aware as I walk that if not literally there is a staff in my right hand. And my leg hand holds or knows the weight of a sword. Though neither are literally there. But the energy of them is there. And they're having me feel the weight or the presence of these spirit tools. To know to gather, develop and know tools in these other dimensions. So that as I walk I can be guided and strengthened by them. And that they have their uses I don t understand. What do the Wayfinders need to know or do for today? We are all given tools and gigs. And we can actually seek them out, when we get s<ll and clear. So it's a reminder, or a picture, even if I'm walking down the street and I consciously, or ra<onally, feel alone That's not true. If I breathe, if I open, if I center, if I connect I'll see that I have the staff in my hand and the sword in my hand, or a lantern at my belt. There are helpers. There are guides there are companions all around. And because of that, 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 9 of 10
there is never any such thing as alone. And it is all an adventure, an explora<on, a quest, a vision, a gig. And even in the midst of what can look like fear and pain and danger or threat it can be dangerous. It can be threatening. But also it can be seen or approached with the universe, the cosmos, the spirit world on your side. And then it becomes the soul s adventure. And as I walk, I can feel the excitement, the energy, the curiosity, the opening is in my being. To face and to enjoy and to learn If need be, to struggle. To give and receive whatever it is that comes my way. Now we re going to do a funny thing Some aspect of my body and myself my being is going to con<nue to walk with them. And another part of me is flying away now. Leaving the three of them and flying back up along the trail, over the river, to the peak. Going down to the castle. Sliding down the tree to a space. Flying back towards the city. Through the windows. And I'm back. 2016-17 Andrew Hryniewicz. www.weneedtheeggsblog.com Page 10 of 10
