Did you have secret or invisible friends when you were a child who came to
play with you, especially outdoors, and who were there for you when no one else
was.
Did you tell your parents that something was under your bed or in the closet
and you wanted them to check for you? Did you need the light on in your room
to feel safe? Those were important days for you before mom and dad, the
churches, schools, sciences and business and the older kids laughed at you enough
times and you had so many serious talks with you that you started to be won
over to their side. There were no invisible friends. Adults will think you
were crazy. You started to believe them. Invisible friends? That sounded
far-fetched. Your invisible friends never came any more and you missed your
guardian angel holding you in her comforting lap - Santa became a Christmas list and
even wonderful imaginative images of Tinker Bell stopped sparkling in the
window at night -- you grew up to be a seemingly logical, yet empty adult.
Fairies have been associated with mankind since we can remember. They helped
the farmers grow food to feed their families in our early settlement days.
They worked along side us as one with Mother Nature to make sure the crop was
plentiful and of good quality. The goal was to understand and help preserve
the land while taking a portion of the bounty for our survival. This seemed to
work well for many hundreds of years.
But then technology came into being and escalated even though it was harmful
to the earth; eventually fairies’ trust in humans diminished. Now things
could be made faster, better and with less work. The fairies were no longer
called upon to help with the fields -- once fairies were summoned to keep us
warm in the harsh winters or help from the earth fairies with the type of
vegetation they should plant or the placement of trees. No time was given at all to
the fairy kingdom because people had to work hard to support their families.
The old ways of the nature spirits were antiquated in the eyes of humans, thus
they retreated to desolate areas where humans rarely ventured or were seen.
With their increasingly rapid rates of vibration, most of them began to cross
over into the fourth dimension making it almost impossible to be detected to
the human eye. Some humans who still believed in the fairy kingdom could
occasionally see these beings out of the corners of their eyes, and some were
spotted as fairy lights under trees and bushes. Yet others appeared to receptive
humans in the form of sea turtles, dolphins and images on the waves’ crests.
Did you ever look up at the sky and see cloud formations that reminded you of
a dragon, or a face? You asked another person’s opinion and they couldn’t
see it. Did you ever notice a rock or a grouping of fallen leaves or branches
that made sense as some sort of particular shape in your mind? Those were
images that the earth fairies wanted you to see. You were blessed by their
presence and were given a special gift.
Fairy tales came into being as parents or families conveyed tales of the
fairy world to their children and how they had helped us. Soon many people used a
story to convey moral messages to their children. Fairies were usually sent
here to help humans after all. These stories proved it. The stories survived
because they usually spoke of hope for the future. At least the myths would
be able to convey that hope to the next generation.
The fairy tales always had a moral of good against evil or foretelling of
their mischievous ways to prove a point to a human or two. These perpetuated
through time as an easy venue to entertain, pass on traditions and give a healthy
acknowledgment of the powers around us (namely - Mother Nature). In most of
the fairytales, some element of nature exists - such as in Cinderella, the
fairy Godmother uses the animals and plants of the earth to help Cinderella reach
the goal of meeting the prince. Here there is her innocence and kindness vs.
that of her stepmother and stepsister’s reign of tyranny over her.
The perpetual retelling of these "tales" kept them alive throughout the
centuries, however, most people think of them as fantasy or myth rather than a
retelling of actual events. Remember that most myths and legends had their basis
in fact.
Even though most of us don’t see fairies regularly, some people do. The
fairies have evolved further than we have and therefore have moved onto the fourth
dimension only blessing us with their occasional presence when they switch
through the dimensional worlds trying to help us bridge the gap that will unite
us again one day.
Fairies are extremely sensitive beings. They are usually assigned to each
one of us at birth and many others live among us. Our own personal fairy helps
guide us in so many ways. Some may say that intuition is a whispered thought
of a fairy trying to help us make the right decision. Fairies are from the
angelic realm and are helpers to the angels. Their province is as varied as
they are. Unfortunately, through my research, I have found that only thousands
of each of the hundreds of different kinds of fairies exist today vs. thousands
of each kind of years ago before man became greedy and started cutting down
forests and woods pushing them back from the beloved homes they once knew. It
is not only the animals of this planet that are becoming extinct, if we do not
take positive steps to correct the pollution to our environment, we may be
next.
There are so many different kinds of fairies. I study the fire, earth, air,
and the water variety. The earth fairies are my favorite since they are
always helping me find things that are lost. They seem to be the most mischievous
since they like hiding things and then returning them to a place you had
already looked. The fire fairies help burn down forests for regeneration and new
growth, helps keep us warm and changes the shape of the earth through volcanic
activity, floods and lightening storms. The air fairies, which also include
the frost, storm, weather, ice, sleet, & rain fairies have a very important
role in our earth’s climate. They are said to control the old negative thought
patterns from the days of Atlantis and Lemuria that still cause hurricanes,
tornadoes and floods. They try to control the rampant weather patterns, but can
only do so much.
Let’s take a closer look at these invisible friends - the elemental beings
who build and maintain our reality and with our active co-creation, will help us
reharmonize our world.
The basic elemental processes of our world are water, air, fire, and earth,
which cannot exist without the elemental being who literally construct, embody
and maintain their forms. Earth and the growing process are actually an
embodiment of these invisible beings whose nature is to unfold universal harmony
without question. They are guided by higher beings of creativity known as devas
or angels who hold the vision for replicating forms such as each plant and
animal species.
The various nature spirits that have come to be called fairies, nymphs,
elves; sprites, etc. are more individualized than the generic elemental beings.
They tend to each individual tree, flower, drop of water or grain of sand
helping them to manifest, grow, emit fragrances, develop color and maintain
fluidity, in such places as inside flower blossoms, in the spray of waves or at the
tips of flames.
Given that these invisible beings are always there within and around the
forms that we perceive, and part of our continuing evolutionary process is to
learn how to co-create with these formative beings, our task becomes how to get
their attention, sense their presence, gain their trust and then hopefully
communicate and co-create. This co-creation with the primal forces is the next
spiritual step for many humans and will eventually enable us to eliminate our
pollutants on the inner world as well as move on more harmoniously in all aspects
of our civilization.
Be aware that integrity and focused intent are the keys to a meaningful
relationship with all inner beings and they can tell if you are serious or being
deceitful. Elemental beings are incredibly aware and powerful, and are not here
to be our slaves or pets; in fact, they don’t need us at all and will be here
long after man destroys all third dimensional life on this planet. Moral
integrity accesses one to ever-deeper levels of creativity. Selfish, vengeful
or unfocused attempts at inner plane manipulation can eventually lead to loss
of power, physical and mental illness and sometimes-even death.
