Description
How the Kogi elders came to have us build a House of Original Thought on
our farm was truly a miracle. We didn't even know the land was an
ancient sacred site when we bought it and only found that out when our
psychic friend from France, Martine Sweeney, came to visit once we'd
built the farm's Community Center. As soon as she set foot on the
property, she experienced children from prehistory in Vedic times come
to greet her and take her to see their Mystery School. It turned out
there was a women's spiritual center with a ceremony site and housing by
the river on the southern boundary of our farm and a men's spiritual
center with a ceremonial site and housing by the river on the northern
boundary. Miraculously, enough of that has been preserved that the Kogi
knew they had to come and do ceremony here.
This also inspired the Kogi to have us build a replica of their
spiritual house on a mountain in northern Colombia. Walter and our
Community member Cristian Ojeda went to learn how and then replicated it
here with all-natural local materials. Not a piece of metal was used,
and all the work was done by hand. When done, the Kogi said that the two
wooden antennas on the top of the building were the way they would
communicate with us. I laughed at that inside myself when I heard it
until the first morning when we did an Agni-Hotra ceremony, as we've
done every morning since.
When I got in one of the hammocks they taught us to use, I started
getting direct transmissions from the Kogi of exactly what I am to do
and say that day…and every day after. Thus I was not surprised when I
was invited into a global network called "Future Capital," which has the
mission that captures my own life mission: "We are developing globally
conscious economies that are good for all life." I'm on the steering
committee and love every minute of it.
Another amazing part of the story is that when the Kogi blessed the
start of our building, they held a ceremony and started a fire in the
middle of the House. I'd invited 16 friends from around the world to be
present and the Kogi looked around at them all and then at Walter and
said with a happy smile, "This fire is never allowed to go out!" We were
aghast because our farm is in the middle of a sacred valley with no road
through it…just the road that ends at our farm halfway through the
valley with only about 15 families.
With Agni Hotra ceremonies at sunrise and other visitations, the House
is full of life. Our indigenous partners do ceremony on the important
native holiday, visitors, students and residents meditate there
frequently, special talks are given and farm members have important
conversations there. The fire uses only wood of fallen trees and
branches. The House is the true center of Sacred Land Farm.
