Walking the Spine of Remembrance Part 5: Standing Inside the Mirror of Creation

Walking the Spine of Remembrance Part 5: Standing Inside the Mirror of Creation

I didn’t expect the final days in the Rockies to bring everything together. I thought the insights from Peru and the first weeks in the Rockies were already complete… but the land had one more teaching for me, a quieter one, a deeper one, and one that could only have arrived after everything else.

Over the last few weeks, I have been watching the world with a different kind of attention. The Ring of Fire lighting up, volcanoes awakening, seismic movements in surprising places, the intensifying solar flares and auroral displays, and even the unusual passage of the 3I Atlas object… the whole planet in a kind of charged recalibration. And yet, inside this upheaval, the Cordillera, the great mountain backbone stretching from Patagonia to Alaska, has been steady, still, almost contemplative. It is as if the outer edges are shaking and the inner spine is remembering its purpose.

The more I listened, the more it made sense. The Cordillera is not just a geological formation. It is an energetic spine, a stabilizing force, a keeper of memory that runs through two continents.

I began to understand why this place has been calling me for years… why the Andes initiated me and the Rockies held me. These mountains carry the same lineage, the same intelligence, the same quiet strength. They are not simply peaks rising out of the land. They are living vertebrae.

In many Indigenous traditions, each mountain is understood as a being with its own consciousness, role, story, and wisdom. Together they form a collective intelligence, an ancient memory keeper holding the record of Earth’s creation. This spine has guided migration routes for thousands of years, served as a corridor for trade and shared symbols, and offered sacred spaces for pilgrimage. And beneath all of that, it has worked quietly as a stabilizing force, anchoring the energy field of the entire Western Hemisphere.

And inside that recognition, something began to soften in me. Not conceptually… but somatically. I could feel the steadiness of the Cordillera in my own body, the way its calm held the upheaval around it. It reminded me of the vision that had come to me earlier, the one I shared in Part 4, of the Western Hemisphere as the seed, the template, the first land to evolve into the New Earth.

Feeling the Cordillera beneath me made that vision make sense in a deeper way. The spine of these mountains held the same quiet truth, the same grounding intelligence from Patagonia to Alaska.

And, I started to see my own role reflected in that, not as someone special, but as someone who has simply learned to listen, trust intuition, follow the subtle callings, and stay close to what feels real and true. Anyone can access this. My experience is simply one pathway into something universal.

The messages did not arrive all at once. The first time I visited at Upper Kananaskis Lake in July, I connected to earth energy in a way I had never felt before. I understood that I was feeling a portal held within the meeting of the mountain and lake, and it was showing me how to use my body and consciousness as a conduit for energy and healing.

When I returned two weeks ago with my friend Doris, a fellow traveler of the inner worlds, the teaching deepened and widened into a new layer of understanding. It helped me see my place within the New Earth Vision that had been unfolding as I traveled the Cordillera from the Andes through the Rockies. This time, the message was clearer: I am here to use my voice, my body, and my energy as part of the collective alchemy, contributing my piece to something much larger than myself.

And that part is simple, human, and accessible.

My voice for speaking the vision, writing it, sharing it, helping others feel what is possible in their own lives.

My body for building, touching, grounding, healing, showing up physically where I am called, like the days in Pucallpa when the grief of the land moved through me like tears belonging to more than just me.

My energy for transmuting heavier emotions into something clearer and more aligned, a capacity that lives in all of us when we are present, open, and willing to feel.

Upper Kananaskis Lake showed me that the work of an emerging world is not a heroic mission. It is a collective mosaic created by all of us in small, steady ways. And our intuition, when trusted, guides each of us to our place in that mosaic.

Two days before leaving the Rockies, the mountains gave me the final piece.

It began at Grassi Lakes. The water was still and luminous, a turquoise mirror holding the mountains above it. I did not have long to sit with it, but I asked quietly: What are you showing me? And the answer came as a phrase floating through my awareness: Mirror, mirror.

Later that day at Spray Lakes, after a snowfall that silenced the whole landscape, the message returned. The quiet there was unlike anything I have felt… no cars, no animals, no human trace, just the vast stillness of lake, mountain, and sky. When I stood facing the water, watching the mountains reflect themselves into the surface, the same words arrived again: Mirror, mirror.

It was only later that evening, as I settled into meditation and automatic writing, that the message revealed itself fully…

As above, so below.
As the mountains are sacred, so are you and all humans.
As the lake reflects the mountain, the Earth reflects the soul.
As you revere this beauty, remember you are part of it.
Worthiness is not earned. It is remembered.
Your reverence for the world is complete only when you include yourself.
You are made of the same forces, the same intelligence, the same creation.

This remembering of our place in the great web of life is the source of our power to create. It is the quiet and steady foundation from which true manifestation rises. When we stand in our belonging, when we see ourself as part of the beauty we admire, our energy aligns with the very frequency of creation itself.

This felt like truth, not just for me, but for anyone who looks at the world and feels its beauty in their bones. These moments are not coincidences. They are invitations. And when we say yes to them, something in us shifts. Creativity opens. Compassion expands. Presence becomes contribution.

The photograph my friend took of me at Spray Lakes (see above) captures what this teaching felt like, a tiny silhouette inside an immense landscape, not separate from it, but mirrored in it. Not small, but belonging.

This is the thread that weaves everything together: Peru, the Andes, the Rockies, the portals, the grief, the wonder, the tenderness, the clarity, the silence, the mirror.

The world is changing. The land is speaking. The Cordillera is steady.

And those who feel something awakening in themselves, even quietly or uncertainly, are being invited to trust that feeling. To listen inwardly. To step forward in whatever way is natural and true for them.

For me, that means continuing to use my voice, my hands, and my energy… and trusting that this is enough.

Postscript: I am writing this now from Kelowna, surrounded by mountains of a different temperament, the soft November light on the lake, and the presence of my beloved sisters. I can feel there is still something waiting to reveal itself… a final insight or gentle message before I return home. I do not know yet what it will be, but I am listening.
