It is written in your bones.
Not as a destiny,
but as a multiple of choices.
Allow it to emerge
in this silent, pregnant pause
between what was and what will be.
Hear the drums of time.
Let them play you.
Let them be played by you.
Shake yourself fully awake.
For you are here to make everything happen.
Not by coincidence.
But by choice.
This is a short clip from the drum ceremony we had here in Stavika for the September Full Moon.
Inconspicuous, yet fully present, She emerges.
Robed in verdant green.
Earth. Mother.
A frail shroud of forgetfulness
masks her true identity.
Not yet fully appreciated.
She waits.
Knowing that when you finally awaken, Her time will come.
The time of becoming.
One.
With every one and every thing.
Still, you hold back.
From yourselves. And from Her.
Soften, dear ones.
Allow Her presence to fill you up.
That is the only way you can find your way home.
To you.
Dear brothers and sisters! Thank you all for the energy you brought to yesterday’s Gathering. For me, it was a deeply personal experience as well as a collective one. As I guided us in, I saw us entering the calm waters of the Pond. We drifted slowly down to the bottom. There, in the depths, I saw the whole expanse of the Pond floor covered by immense crystal clusters. They were clear, like perfect quartz crystals, and they were glowing with a whitish light. I heard the word “amplifiers”, and that these crystals would “redistribute” the light that we anchored in. During the meditation, this message came through:
“Go deep, deeper than ever before.
Connect with the vibrating cone of light
shimmering there in the deepest recesses of your soul
and speak out loud.
For you have a voice, a voice that at some times may feel as if it is faltering.
But this is your true voice. It may be an untried voice.
But it wants to be used.
So sing out loud
in a joyful vibration that will shake others awake
and alive in every single cell.
Feel the connection that goes from your heart center
and out into this shimmering void.
This empty space that longs to be filled
with the love that they have missed for such a long time,
where fear has taken the place of love in the hearts of so many others.
So sing the song of freedom loud and clear
so they too can hear it
and shake themselves awake and join in this jubilant choir.
For you set the tone, you set the pace.
So go forth, and spread a little happiness
with every step you take, with every breath you take.
Gather yourself, and then, simply sing.
And so it is, and so it will be.”
Your true voice can be many things. For me, it is also this; singing out loud in colours.
Thank you for BEing here, and for adding your voice to this jubilant choir!
With love, light and gratitude from me, Bente/Aisha
Dear friends! We have entered the energies of September, kicking off with the Full Moon. Can you feel the anticipation in the air? The sense of awakening? Here, autumn is slowly moving in, but the energies feel in so many ways like spring. As if so much is waiting – and wanting – to be born. This is also reflected in the message that I received for our upcoming Gathering:
You are the singer and the song.
A cosmic tune humming
itself into life.
Again and again.
Sending out your cascade of notes
you set so many others astir,
helping them tune in to their own true vibration.
I am so looking forward to our connection this Sunday September 6, at 21:00/ 9 PM my time (Norway, UTC + 2). This Gathering around the Pond will be all about “humming” as much light as possible out into the collective. So many out there are starting to feel the push, the firm but gentle invitation to shift away from the old and into the new. The New can be daunting, because it means diving into the unknown. So let us give them something to navigate by. A humming, vibrating beacon of light that will help them feel they are not alone.
This Sunday, I will be doing the Gathering live online on Zoom. I love having the opportunity to BE together in this way! I will open the Zoom room a few minutes before the hour, and I will guide us all into a 30 minutes meditation. Usually, a short message comes through during the meditation. If you feel like joining me, just send me a message or fill out the form below, and I will send you the Zoom link on email later in the week.
The online Gathering is donation-based. If you want to support my work, you can use this link. Thank you, every donation is very appreciated!
I am so looking forward to connecting with you once again. Let us “sing our song” loud and clear!
With love and gratitude from me, Bente/Aisha
PS: you can find the time that corresponds with 21:00 Norway time (UTC+2) in your time zone here.
Do not take this incoming light lightly.
To some, it may feel like the onslaught of a storm.
But it is a perfect storm.
Destined to bring change where change is needed.
So lean into the wind, and you will feel the support.
For it is here to give you a hand,
helping you push through whatever might be holding you back.
Dear brothers and sisters!
Exactly nine years ago, on August 16. 2011, I set myself free from my old life. That day, the very first installment of what would expand into The Manuscript of Survival arrived. Very unexpected, to say the least. I had received a number of short channeled messages over a couple of years, but they more or less said the same; they were meant to “prepare me for something important.” At the time, I was a self-employed graphic designer. I remember it was a Monday, and I sat down to work as usual. But I could feel that a message wanted to come through. So I just opened myself to it. And there it was. I just knew it, with all of my heart, that THIS was what I was meant to do. So I sent a message to all of my clients, telling them that I could no longer work for them, because I had just taken on a huge writing assignment.
My life has changed so much since then. I have lost count of the number of messages I have channeled. In addition to the written ones, I have also channeled literally hundreds of paintings. The paintings started to come in the spring of 2015, just before I was given what would be the last written message that was to be shared in this space. That is, until I was guided to re-open it again this spring. (Some of these paintings, and later, the words that came to accompany them, I shared on my other blog, https://aishanorthwaterspeaks.wordpress.com/.)
As I sit here and think back on these last nine years, I am filled with a deep gratitude. Towards myself, for daring to leap into the unknown. Again and again. And towards every single one of you. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. Thank you for all the love, support and light you have gifted me with. Thank you for accompanying me on this amazing journey! Without you, this space would never have sprung into full life. The Pond would never have been born.
This message is my gift to all of you on this very special day. Thank you for daring to fly, and thank you for helping me continue to do the same. May we all feel the wind filling our wings in the time ahead! With love, light and gratitude from me, Bente/Aisha
“The incandescent light of joy
cannot be contained.
Nor can your freedom.
Unfettered by any outside rules or regulations,
you are free to roam.
So go wherever your imagination takes you.
Your inner landscape is limitless.
Take to your wings, dear ones.
You are here to fly,
not to hold yourself back.
For it is only your mind
that can weigh you down.”
I also had to share this. It is the very first channeled painting that came through, back in 2015.
Dear friends! I woke up earlier than usual this morning, and was called down to the beach. As I watched the tide softly withdrawing, these words emerged:
“Remember dear ones, life is always changing.
Just like the tide.
Sometimes rolling in, other times softly withdrawing.
So allow yourself to feel deeply into this pulse,
this rhythmic beating heart of Mother Earth.
Sink into Her rhythm, just BE in that space
and know that all is well.
No matter how things may appear on the surface.
There, in the stillness, life continues on.
Every single second.
So be still, and know that you are still moving
in your right direction.
With every breath, you take a new step
into the unknown, into the new.
So allow all of this New to reveal itself to you.
Just like the tide reveals new land every single day.
And so it is.
And so it will be.
Aho.”
May you all have a blessed Lion’s Gate weekend!
Bente/Aisha
“You are not here
to shrink away from
your own greatness.
You are here to be YOU.
Nothing more.
But also, nothing less.
Remember, YOU are the lion,
and the world wants to hear you roar.”
We have entered the intensity of the Lion’s Gate energies, and I was guided to repost this message from three years ago. But these words also emerged this morning: “Sometimes, the loudest roar is a whisper.” Like many others, I have been called into the deep Silence. A silence that has no words, but speaks volumes. So much is shifting now, within and without. And the speed of everything is literally mind blowing. Guiding us even deeper into the wordless space of ALL there is.
This Sunday, August 2 at 21:00 / 9 PM Norway time (UTC +2), I invite you to join me in this “wordless space” for our August Gathering around the Pond. A 30 minute meditation, where we can sink into the nurturing waters of this Pond, and add our magnificent roars – or whispers – to the song of light that is gathering strength on this beautiful planet of ours. I am so looking forward to BEing there with you!
With love, light and gratitude from me, Bente/Aisha
PS: I am planning to pick up the live online Gatherings after this summer.
PPS: you can find the time that corresponds with 21:00 Norway time (UTC+2) in your time zone here.
Try to capture the Essence of your Self.
It is immense.
Far beyond the scope of your human faculties.
So allow yourself to sink through
all the layers of forgetfulness.
Then you will discover the beauty that is you.
There is a new sound
being released
into all the waterways
on this planet.
It is the sound of freedom,
emanating from the heart of Creation.
It is sung for you.
A reminder that life
is meant to be savoured
in all of its aspects.
So soak up this sound.
It is a potent potion of love.
