The forest of trees

'The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished." Golinda had heard the prophecy, ever since the Wizard had taken her under his wings, after her roots had been severed. She was proof that the growth of a tree can be stimulated after its roots are cut.

The Wizard had instilled habits into each day explaining, “Mente sana in corpore sano, a healthy mind in a healthy body." He explained, "Memory is retrieved as a response to a habit. Human societies transmit memories through culture by ritual re-enactment that creates a kind of trance to communicate a founding story or myth or a latent fear." He insisted, "The chemical and physical predisposition for bonding, inherent in laws of nature, is a form of memory. Study, sitting like you are in an exam. When you practise music, play as if you are performing for the audience. See yourself as the person of your goals."

Golinda asked, "How do you expect me to see myself as I want to be, when I do not know what I want or there is to want?"

Looking up from over his glasses the Wizard said, "Intention evokes a deep collective memory. We are a self-organizing system and create patterns from the past. We carry a memory from stars and planets, light years away. When we look at the sun, we see what existed 8 minutes ago. We share a form of intelligence through the simplest amino acids that were formed with the universe, the Earth’s crust, its atmosphere, the full depth of oceans and ice caps. ”

Golinda looked at the Wizard. She was accustomed to his speeches and found it worth her while to listen.

The Wizard continued, "The slime mold Physarum polycephalum, although lacking a brain or nervous system, has been shown to remember past activities and can solve mazes and avoid previously explored areas or unfavorable areas."

The Wizard continued. "Bacteria, that live in the absence of light disconnected from the world under the oceans or in the gut, can synchronize activities of different species. In humans, gut bacterial communities control brain function. The bacterial genome in mitochondria directs energy allocation and can form highly conserved genes or change genes that make the right proteins at the right times, according to environmental or indeterminate activity.

"The power of simple bacteria is unbelievable," squealed Golinda.

The Wizard continued. "We are programmed to observe patterns. On a remote island, Ken Keyes reported about how one monkey taught others the habit of washing sweet potatoes before eating. After the hundredth monkey adopted this protocol, the habit was said to simultaneously occur on other colonies, suggesting a sort of collective conscious transmission."

Golinda thought a moment then added, "Societies often function as if someone is looking at them and they follow predicted behaviours based on habits and change them to make them better."

The Wizard continued. "It seems reasonable that by directing intention and energy to improve food quality, a logical option that created a simultaneous paradigm shift in the wave that looks like telepathy.

Golinda nodded saying, "It does seems reasonable that optimizing and extending a logical train of thought is a normal, not paranormal, natural not supernatural, means of animal communication."

The Wizard appreciated that Golinda was open minded. "The power of small, weak forces join subatomic particles to form atoms and molecules. When bonds break, it creates light. The energy of the ball of fire, ripples through the tree of life through a form of long-distance communication. Small weak forces can induce a physiological state that passes through society and social systems, through nonlocal resonance that some people consider telepathy."

Golinda replied, “I am overwhelmed by what I do not know and have not learned.

The Wizard smiled. “You have what is needed. You can see things in different ways. You have Gallopatrot. The instinctive reptilian fractal dragon helps drive the neural chassis of your chariot of fire, and hone your intuition. Gallopatrot can create conditioned responses to an illusion, with afterimages of dreams and imaginings that appear as real. Gallopatrot organizes memory of space and time as part of a base set that goes beyond what is counted on ten fingers. Let Gallopatrot explain an alternate way to view the beautifully complex system of life.

Golinda listened as Gallopatrot said, "Golinda,we are part of a greater, self-organising system. We hold the message of the dragon mother of myth. Her secret divine message causes even the most permanent ideas to be turned on their head.She uses the power of reversals. 'Deified Madam Rotator' is a palindrome who presents the same message backward and forward and even when flipped upside down or mirrored. ‘Mom peep. pod swims seas. wow deed. dooms swoop. play held’. Her message is passed through the woman with twelve stars over her head."

The Wizard explained, "Let us accept certain rules of engagement. Twelve is a sacred number, used to keep track of hours in a day and months in a year, the signs of the zodiac, lengths in a foot and how items are packaged. There are twelve gods of Olympus, twelve sons of Odin, twelve Apostles and twelve stations of life in Buddhism which has twelve petals in the green heart chakra that are protected by twelve thoracic vertebrae.The twelve-note chromatic musical scale that is inherently pleasing to hear."

Golinda nodded and the Wizard continued. "There are two groups of six subatomic particles with opposite electric charge, from which all physical matter is made. They can recombine into three groups of four that generate mass. Carbon 12 is the critical building block of all organic life. and is involved in photosynthesis. Carbon 12 is used as a basis for all other atoms structure and weight. The prime numbers of a base 12 system control fractal regeneration creating the golden spiral in double stranded DNA, shells, the cochlea and flower petals."

The Wizard continued, "Many people are addicted to using the 10-base connection; however, the base-12 connection makes up the underlying structures and cycles of nature. Addiction recovery follows twelve steps based on honesty, hope, surrender, courage, integrity, willingness, humility, love, responsibility, discipline, awareness, and service. Shall we talk about this?"

They did. He continued, "Since biblical times, the complex esoteric interplay of mathematics, physics and physical chemistry that affects the fabric of space time to religions was attributed to Metatron, regarded as the highest primal archangel, who could look at God. He wrote of the 365 books known to those who study the sun and moon. He was the messenger who serves to guard and protect the divine throne that was once ruled by Jupiter, a planet that orbits every 12-years, each defined by 12 lunations. Metatron's cube describes the path of energy that follows the path of the dragon, likely the constellation Draco. Draco guarded the golden apples, found by Hercules after twelve labours. Metatron's cube contains the path of the Golden Mean."

As Golinda listened, she gained confidence. She said, "I can use the twelve planetary tuner pegs to connect the emotions and memory of Gallopatrot, in my primitive brain, to the universe tuner."

The Wizard laughed adding, “Many drink from Lethe, the river of forgetfulness. Some drink the stagnant waters from the cave of Hypnos, the God of sleep. You little one, you drink from the river Mnemosyne, mother of the nine muses who guards the river of memory, that can flow backwards."

Gallopatrot whispered to Golinda, "I know how to navigate the waters of the rivers that change direction and can bridge opposites. I can move as yin and yang and two strands of DNA. They are part of the same movement."

The Wizard held Golinda' hand. "Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, memory, and strategic warfare, was a bee inside of Jupiter's body when she ripped through the head of Jupiter, with a spear in her hand and full armor. You are the new shaker of the spear. Like a bee you can change directions and fly backwards."

Gallopatrot added, " I am here, like a squid. You can direct the shaft of my pen to shoot out clouds of ink so we can move backwards to the many roads of the future.”

The Wizard said, "You have the skills and intelligence to attain a one in a tenth to the twelfth power possibility to turn the tide. You have the ability to be part of a system that is influenced by its previous state of uncertainty and pass wisdom and knowledge of the consciousness of cosmic forces that are not biological or organic to the next generation. "

Gallopatrot added, "The path of the mind and the repeating levels of recursions of patterns hold reversals. We can follow the path of energy to join consciousnesses and you can snap them into clear, actual understandable being."

The Wizard chimed in. "‘In hoc signo vinces’ - by this sign you will conquer. The spring tide is coming. It has nothing to do with the season but with the tide ‘springing forward.’ It will cause the queen to vanish and the river to reverse."

Golinda felt an inner peace. Golinda felt her breathing change. She accepted that forces pass through vibrations and pulses in waves as they expand outwards. Magnetic fields, the Earth's gravitational field, the fields of a cell phone and social fields seen in schools of fish and flocks of birds, alter probability fields. Biological, developmental, positional, electromagnetic, morphogenetic fields can affect the structure and function in undifferentiated cells. It was reasonable to accept thought fields can extend far beyond the brain.

She entered into a trance. Closing her eyes she sang and joined the choirs of angels whose silent messages become songs that are etched into nature itself.

"The spell of concealment will be revealed. To control the fate of the world, hold tight to your shield. Follow the tail of the great dragon Ketu that becomes defined as the first eclipsing full super moon after the equinox is aligned.

When the new moon in perigee with Earth, is farthest from the sun's girth, it will cross Venus in retrograde. Solar flare spark and meteors will not be swayed.

As the sun's reflections drift past Jupiter and the fiery eye of the bull, Orion will rise, and the king tide will feel the moon's pull. The world will shake, and the universe will, a new future make.

The prophecy of the river queen reversing has begun. The turning tide cannot be undone. Reversals are caused by how things are spun, new and old are always one. The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. Understand. She will return again and has not been banished."

Golinda opened her eyes to tell her friends she did not understand what she just sang. The Wizard and Gallopatrot were bowing to her. She had just sung the unspoken verse of the prophecy.
