www.shamansociety.org 19 these temples had no interior light they were lit up by seven to twelve wise people who sat in them. One could only become a Temple Keeper after demonstrating ones ability to create this Light for the community. After I had drafted this piece I journeyed and asked my Atlantean spiritual teacher for his comments. He said that by the time Atlantis sank the spiritual leaders had mastered extrasen- sory skills and the healing arts. They could even manipulate the weather. Priests and priestesses who still worked in the light encoded the sacred teachings to be retrieved in the future. That time is now. Ancient Knowledge We know that some ancient cultures remembered their soul purposes and technologies better than others Egyptians Atlanteans Hawaiians Peruvians Cherokee Hopi. But strife and lack of cooperation led to their physical destruction. Some shamans healers and priests preserved their deep spiritual teach- ings but found their societies were not ready and responsible to use them. In some cases individuals and adepts took care to hide these important teachings until the time was right for future humans to uncover and use them. The Tibetan Buddhist word for these secrets is terma a hidden bundle of ancient teachings or buried treasure. A person who is born with the destiny for recovering a bundle of teach- ings and making it available to the world is called a terton. Here are a few examples of people being downloaded spiritual teachings. Sharon McErlane in her book A Call to Power relates her experiences with the Council of Grandmothers a group of non- ordinary reality beings who have come to help women and men balance their yin and yang. They assert that part of the problem in Western culture is that we are too yang focused and we need to call forth our yin energy. In his book The Bowl of Light Dr. Hank Wesselman shares with readers the description given by Hawaiian kahuna and shaman Hale Makua of what Makua called the Great Ancestral Plan set in motion tens of thou- sands of years ago to be activated as we end one age and began another. Nicki Scully and Linda Star Wolfe share the power of the heart initiation of ancient Egypt in their book Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt. These are just three examples of spirit gifting us with ancient wisdom crucial to our personal and planetary transformation. Secret teachings are being re-remembered because of the critical time in which we live. They can contribute to our power and wisdom bring us solutions and guidance and perhaps as- sist in insuring a new age of peace. The Egyptian light column teachings are such teachings perhaps as much as 16000 years old according to our teachers in the spirit realms. Collaborative Shamanism Veteran shamanic practitioner and another light column in- structor Marta Boyett who lives in Eugene Oregon and I who live in Southern California developed a way of working together using shamanism over the phone to erect light columns. This collaborative model was born out of spiritual helpers telling us that one person was not enough to address certain world issues. It takes a team but how to be a team when light column people are located all over the US So we created our monthly calls. During the last eight years the light column practitioner group has grown to over a hundred people living all over the country.
