In fall of 2019 I enrolled in the course, Healing the Ancestral Lines: Basic, offered by Christina Pratt through Last Mask Center. In the course, students establish and maintain - with the help of their Ancestral Helping Spirits - a Rainbow Bridge. This functions as a path away from earth and a portal into Spirit for the use of uncrossed people who are within the range of the Bridge and needing only Level 1 intervention.
I followed the Rainbow Bridge practice daily as it was taught in the course. This was very rewarding work as I perceived and had interactions with some of those who used it. When the Bridge was first made available, it was well-used and people asked questions about it such as, Can we go up anytime? Can I go and get someone else? I saw people arrive singly or in groups, on galloping horses, in carriages or flying. Some wished to be hidden and appeared as little scurrying shapes. Some waited for me to appear so they could wave, show happiness with a smile, or speak thanks. One declared, You’re doing a good work. Another left the Helping Spirits a message for me, Thank you so much, it’s very important to me. He had stayed with his family beyond the Welcome and then didn’t know what to do. One woman watched for three months before she went up; I sometimes saw her as a pair of big eyes. One man ascended, thinking he was getting away with something. At the top, he reacted to the Life Review staff with protest, pointing at me and saying, But she said it was good. They replied, We’re going to show you your life. He was depressed to be told that heaven is “do it yourself.” Another man who had lived negatively watched the Bridge for a while, then ascended proudly telling me, I’ve decided not to be bad anymore. Once at the top, Helping Spirits said he was “deliriously happy” to learn there was no Christian-style punishment. I saw one man at the top of the Bridge who tried to sneak back down to earth, but humans can only manifest on earth after going through the life-planning process. There were also a few situations of group disasters, such as a sunken boat and a collapsed building, in which 10-30 people crossed together.
In the next 1.5 years, all the Level 1 people within range of my Rainbow Bridge succeeded in crossing, totaling about 3,000. I continue to maintain the Bridge to meet current needs. This simple practice is such a blessing to individuals and to earth as a whole that it should be promoted to all shamanists. Imagine the difference we could make in supporting change in earth with just this simple practice if it could be spread around the globe.
In April of 2024 I had completed escorting my ancestors and chose to continue by escorting all those within range of my Rainbow Bridge, my neighbors. Helping Spirits estimate that the total will be about 3,000. This group is similar to my ancestors in that most are Christians of European extraction. However, since the first European settlements in my area began in 1838, the range of dates covered is much narrower, at most three hundred years rather than 1,200 years for my ancestors.
To date, the work reveals the same common profile for my uncrossed neighbors as for my uncrossed ancestors: a pre-adult person, spiritually young with a family-oriented Purpose, who likely died accidentally and was unable to cross due to preoccupation with the continuing physical distress of the death situation.
I hope to complete the escorting of my neighbors in 2027 and will report the results of the work in this space.
