Retrieval of Foal Done in the Future
Making the Connection With Animal Life

  I felt so much honor in this retrieval, it was hard to explain. There was much unconditional love along with an element of surprise and a sense of my capacity to love all life. I had gone to sleep and came to vivid awareness I was standing in the field next to my yard. It's night, which it really was, lending even more realness to the quality of the obe. It's lonely standing in the dark and I don't know why this is, as if an unseen power had plucked me from my bed and placed me there. I hear the rustle of the tall grass..something is approaching me and it's so dark, I'm a little scared but more curious. A young colt eagerly approaches me. it was lost. I can clearly tell it doesn't know where to go or why it could not find it's mother. Now it is happy that it found a person. I realize the lonely feeling I’d had was coming from the colt. Immediately my practical side is talking to me: what in the world will I do with this colt? Obviously it's in my charge now. This colt has found me and any animal which comes to my door automatically claims me as it’s caregiver. I am owned by it in other words because I am love and because it is love also. My practical side disappears as it nods it's head up and down like horses do, expressing affection. it makes a little snorty sound, which amuses me. it's so happy it's not alone anymore. We nuzzle; it is young and playful and full of life, and there is something in me that is also young, lively and full of life. Then I get practical again and ask myself what to do now. I think about how I have an empty horse shed (I did) and wouldn't it be nice if I could find a mare to be surrogate mother? As quickly as I think this, an old mare appears, the answer to my prayers. Then she starts to die as her legs fold under her into a mud puddle. I shout at her that I need her for this babe, she must listen up. she seems to consider this and I nudge the colt over to her, directing his attention to her, and miraculously, he takes the cue from me and runs up to her. He seems to know she is not his birth mother but also senses his own kind. The colt infuses the old mare with it's new life and she regains her feet easily and snorts and whineys. Horse language make me laugh and fills me with love. End of retrieval. Two weeks later in physical time/reality the colt next door gets shot after breaking it's leg because of the negligence of it’s owner to understand the colts energy. I suddenly realize I just did my first future retrieval as the probabilities for this to occur were all set up in the ethers within that two week span. The owner was an impatient and time driven person  and had not taken precautions with the colt. Colts do not like ropes and frisk a lot, perhaps in fear at the restraint; the first time to be tied would not go well, his strength to break loose would be underestimated and the post would fail to hold. They said they couldn't fix the leg.
I think I was prepared here for the event through the retrieval, therefore it was only for me and I wasn't going to be able to stop the event that was set up. On another level the death of the colt changed the lives of the two owners of it as it would work their relationship over. They might even bust up over this as accidents on their farm happened frequently enough, so that now there was a pattern observable. I think it broke their hearts so they had a lot of spiritual soul searching to do. but I knew  the colt was ok, and I felt like I had prepared a place for it through the retrieval as presumptious as that sounds, I got a peaceful feeling about the whole thing. We can meet our animals on the other side for as long as we need them to be there for us, they will be there.
  I could sense that I’d had guidance that night. I considered perhaps I would find a benevolent universe after all. There was no such thing as an accident and if I was vigilant I need not fear the concept of accident. I was honored that this part of life had trusted me to find a place for it, or that it’s guardian spirits had ushered me into the field of dreams that night so that a baby could continue growing into it’s potential. God bless the beasts and the children, they give us something quite undistorted in service to us.

Hi Alysia,
that was beautiful. Touched with it while reading I thought the same like what you said at the end of your post: There is something special about animals and children. They can make it easy for us to care and love them, and that's quite a big service they do to us.
And what you told us is a good example what big effects retrievals can have on us. It can lead us to a new world.
Thank you, love, spooky

that was powerfully heartwarming Spooky. that kitty knows where to find love. love heals. I have so many animal stories too. may have to write about them.
love, alysia

hi Spooky! , you said:And what you told us is a good example what big effects retrievals can have on us. It can lead us to a new world.

yes, like a field of dreams, huh? build it and they will come, was something they said in that good movie with spirits in it. I think about that a lot.
we should try to think about and post our thoughts how retrievals can be so effective, to make us feel like maybe we can make a better world, with less violence and accident in it. I'm ok with the world, if I'm ok with myself though. hee. it's myself I gotta live with, not the world.
I read ACIM which changed my life. one of the affirmations was: "how many saviors does it take to save the world?" so I read on thinking, well, this is gonna be good..right...I was thinking, well, gonna take at least a truckload of saviors fix us up....ACIM said it only takes one..You...get out, I said...I am such powerless bumble fingers in my life...but what it meant is by expressing the love inside of us, thats how the world is saved. so turned out a real simple message, that is hard to hear because I guess, it's just too simple, and you know human nature I suspect wants to make it complicated, maybe that's part of it too.
cheers to you matey sailing out there on the high seas! I can hear your horn tooting in greeting!

hi Spooky!   I'd say you were right on topic! you make my face stretch too much with a smile! hee. actually I am laughing out loud.
I have copied here your points of reference:
Spooky said:
1. I was shown that I am not as weak as I thought and therefore not to worry about to be worthless,
2. It is important what I think about myself,
3. To feel it's okay not to be holy and the relief which follows this feeling is an important thing for being able to do little good things to people next to you.

this too, was/is/has been the summation of my own journey during explorations of the nature we do here.
heres my own words that say what u say:
1) I am more than I thought I was and I am worthy of all good things.
2)I must watch my ego that I would not appear as holier than another, so I can just be myself and thats a relief.
3) I do not have to do good works if I don't want to and yet I can do random acts of kindness if I want to because I have become free to choose.

now a little story like yours 8)
I decided to try NEW. new energy waves or ways. a type of meditation. you lay down. if you get that far, you are doing good. you imagine energy drawn through soles of feet up to head. try to feel it move. you make a circle and pump it up and out. so I was expanding the circle...pretty soon I thought..hmmm. how far can I take this? so here's a little conversation between LR and DP.
LR (laughing rain) can I like, float up to space?
DP (dead preacher) why don't u try?
LR ok. I'm on top of the world. what now?
DP what do you see?
LR it's like green and blue. what do you think?
DP what do u think about the world?
LR there's like a lot of people on it.
DP right. spread your arms around it.
LR you're kidding me again, aren't you?
DP just do it.
LR I feel awfully silly DP. but wait, I think I feel something else!
DP yes?
LR even though I feel sort of clownish, I think I can almost reach around the whole world with my arms from up here...and I actually think I'm enjoying this exercise...
anyway I felt motherly towards the great mother Earth. thats about it. but that night a guide took me out to do a retrieval before I had fallen asleep and it was a doozy! yeeeehaaaaa!
so what we do in our imagination, it can really make a difference within the experiences we have; although it was really hard to imagine hugging the world like that. hee.
toot! toot! 

doozey= slang for powerful mind boggling, exceptional, surprising or overwhelming adjective.

theres a lot of words I cannot find in the dictionary either and so I find myself sometimes coining my own word, or adding something to the end of a word to convey a concept. then I worry to be understood the concept. is why the editing seems to take a long time on this book
remember your word hogfather or fatherhog? I have added that word to my vocabulary

I would like to know if NEW has helped you. it (the excircise I did that day) has not produced another mystical experience we may call it. however, I got the point to mean there is an energy body within me that is not confined to the space of the fleshly dimension. I drive my body as if  it were a car. it gets me from point A to point B. so that now, mostly due to this exercise perhaps of NEW, I pay more attention to this energy body moving around in my flesh body; I am grounding my spirit this way, into the body, for I am not to fly away just yet   this energy body also holds my emotional nature and is like prana body, which is life force. in another way, there is an affirmation you can do to say "I Am alive." (sometimes we wonder) then u ask this energy body, are u glad? if there is pain you can banish the pain to untangle the energy flow by inquiring of your belief system. if your energy level is ok, then you can say you are glad and everything is working well. so NEW was good for me as I learned to draw the energy up and move it around. was surprised that I could even feel it and that it would respond to my command. so thank you for mentioning it, it brings up a very good topic!
hope you do well with it. love, alysia
