KW Norton in her essay, Star Seeds - Electromagnetic Beings & Compassionate Awareness: As Humans Are Undergoing Rapid Change wrote “We are being informed by an energy which extends way beyond anything material and which simply cannot be explained by our history, science, religion or philosophy.”
She continued, “Congratulations might be in order for us star seeds - we are standing on that horizon of becoming what many of us have all along preferred to become. We have always known there is far more to us than the simple sum of our parts. The way offered by spirit, by nature, by the universe and by our own universal consciousness is now evolving - and evolving quite rapidly.”
Several years ago, I had a dream in which I saw an orb. I saw myself sitting in the orb. As I approached the orb, I saw that it was pure energy. The voice in the dream said, "this is your soul's next manifestation." Here is the painting of that dream.
In a shamanic training, we journyed to the 5th world to retrieve 3 spirit guides or soul friends that could be of help to us at this particular time in our lives. Mine showed up as crystaline-like figures--one in the form of a walking stick with a snake wrapped around it, another was a crystaline wand and the third, to my surprise, was the orb from that dream of long ago. As I was working with the images, asking what gifts or help they had for me, a woman appeared with the orb in her hands and placed it in my heart. She said, "the time is now."
Here is the painting of that journey. The large crystaline wand revealed itself as a man standing behind her as a support and guide for the soul's next manifestation. The owls and the black panther first showed up in a journey over 20 years ago and have remained with me as power animals and guides in the shamanic sense. I call this painting "The Time is Now."
As I reflected on the completed painting as an expression of this journey, I noticed that the feminine is the foremost and primary figure in the painting. She is the one that is extending the orb of the soul’s next manifestation. As arrogant as this might sound, perhaps my dream and journey isn’t just a personal one but also reflects a call to the collective and movement in the collective soul that is happening outside of our usual time and space frame. These occurrences suggested to me that this change will be a return of the divine feminine, the goddess’ energies that will assist in bringing balance to our more masculine dominated consciousness. Standing behind her is a male figure. This suggested to me that there is also a new masculine emerging that will support the birth of the goddess’ energies and a more feminine consciousness, the union of the masculine and feminine as co- and equal creators of this new world.
The owl, often a symbol for wisdom, the mystery of magic, and vision in the night, is associated with several goddesses: The Celtic goddess Blodeuwedd, the Greek goddess Athena, and the Roman goddess Minerva suggesting a return of the wisdom of the feminine to our consciousness. The serpent wound around the staff suggested to me the healing and transforming power of the serpent energies and the jaguar represented a connection to the power of the feminine and her creative instincts. How does this painting speak to you?
As KW Norton stated in her essay, we are undergoing a rapid change. In shamanic traditions we travel into the places of non-ordinary reality to engage the helping spirits. In shamanic cosmologies, we speak of three worlds: the Lower World, the Middle World and the Upper World. The Upper World is also known as the world of our becoming, our future potentials and possibilities.”
The traditions speak of multiple levels in the Upper World. In the Andean traditions, they speak of 5 levels: the Level of the Stone People, the Level of the Plant People, the Level of the Animal Spirits, the Level of the Ancestors, and the fifth and highest level of the Upper World, the realm of the angels and archangels, where the great medicine healers reside. This is where all the souls dedicated to assisting humankind dwell, including the bodhisattvas of Buddhism and the saints of Christianity. This is where you meet the self that never entered the stream of time, the one containing all the knowledge of the person you’re evolving into.[1]
Here we receive guidance that can bring us into harmony with all that is, allowing us to step beyond the personal, and into service to humanity and the world. This is the realm populated by angels, guardians, enlightened beings, mystics and magicians, mythic power animals, wisdom teachers, ancestors and ancient ones.
In preparing to release this post, I journeyed again to the 5th world, the world of the ascended masters to ask if they have any information or guidance for my readers as I post on the 5th world. Suddenly and both surprisingly and humorously, a food truck appeared and two luminous beings got up from where they were sitting and walked over to the food truck. Each ordered a cup of something, some liquid, maybe a tea of some kind. They walked over to me and offered it to me and said, "drink from the accumulated wisdom of the 5th world. Tell your readers that when they journey to the 5th world to ask to drink from the accumulated wisdom of the angels, guardians, enlightened beings, mystics and magicians, mythic power animals, wisdom teachers, ancestors and ancient ones—all who live there. They contain all the accumulated wisdom of the universe. Once they take this wisdom in energetically they will begin to ‘know; things they didn't know and understand things previously not understood. They will begin to respond to life in ways that will surprise them, wondering why did I do that? How did I know that? Where did that come from? They will bring gifts needed in the world at this time.”
In this audio you are invited to journey to the 5th world to meet a spirit guide or soul friend that can help you at this time in your life. You might ask for a guide that can give you information on how best you can be of service at this time of transition and change. Ask them for the collective wisdom of the Universe. Ask how you can assist the energy that is informing us “way beyond anything material and which simply cannot be explained by our history, science, religion or philosophy?”

I found the painting very impactful. It is interesting that 3 owls are represented. With a little searching I found this about the different owls (if I identified them correctly):
Snowy Owl Vision
When you have a Snowy Owl dream, like the Angelfish, it is a reminder that you are never alone and that many Guides and Angels always surround you. If this Owl speaks to you, it is a direct message from them. Do not worry if you cannot hear them or understand them. The message is clear for your soul. Alternatively, the appearance of this raptor in your vision symbolizes the need for clear intention. Thus you must evaluate your goals and revise your direction as needed.
Screech Owl Vision
When the Screech Owl announces itself in your vision, it is a message that you must listen – and read between the lines. Whatever people present to you, it is just a fraction of the truth. Thus you must make sure that you have the whole picture.
Sometimes this Owl appears in your vision when you do not perceive things correctly. In other words, look at things from several different perspectives until you find the right one.
Barred Owl Vision
If you have a Barred Owl dream, it indicates that you are about to embark on a new phase or direction with your purpose in life. Thus you must take the time to explore the opportunities out there and choose one on which to focus.

There are many entities grabbing for our attention today, professing that they have discovered a secrete which they wish to share for the betterment of humankind. My synthesis of the messages from owl is that we are to listen to our heart center as the ultimate truth keeper. I very much appreciate your style, Sheldon, where you are a transimitter of knowledge intended for humanity, yet are careful to allow the reader to form their own conclusions in their own way without projecting your own internal biases into the messages. This is a rare attribute these days and I hope that more people understand the extreme value in having you as a medium. Thank you.
I needed some guidance this morning on a work project so I journeyed to the 5th world.
I must mention upon waking, I often picture in my minds eye being at the feet of the Christ figure somehow. A picture came to me about Christ wanting to wash my feet.
As I journeyed I met two souls friends of mine who have passed. One read a very long dream of hers to me before she died. The other soul friend could not speak before he died but during my last visit with him I remember I placed the back of my hand across his face and stroking his cheek as he closed his eyes I watched him enjoying my touch.
During my journey somehow both of my hands came up to my face and I noticed they began stroking my cheeks with my palms also turned outward just like mine were during this friends time of his death.
It took me a few minutes before I noticed the correlation.
I felt as if Great Spirit was once again reminding me of the most important message of this great love which is always with us guiding our steps….the words, writing and speaking were what was offered to me but remember ing how every word will stem from the loving touch of Spirit.
Thank you Sheldon for the guided journey.
