The Spring Keeper In early times, villages in mountainous regions were assisted by one known as the Spring Keeper. The Spring Keeper had the task of traversing
the mountains and tending to spring heads of the natural watershed from the slopes. The Spring Keeper moved in relative privacy, under rain, sun, and snow,
tending the springs. Attention to the small details of removing debris, sticks, leaves, and various items that would upon occasion block the flow of the spring
heads in the high mountain places was the sole task of the Spring Keeper. This singular act ensured the continuous flow of seemingly insignificant trickles of
water, which eventually emerged into small streams, and began the task of growth, as the waters collected and flowed down the mountainside. The result was
clean, pure water in the lower elevations, which blessed many others along the return pathways to the great oceans of the earth. This is the very process that
we use in the work of recapitulation. We must clear the debris from our personal history, as we seek the springheads of power flowing subtly beneath the
mountains of our human thought patterns. The springheads of Intent must be properly tended. On occasion there will appear one in our lives to teach us the
proper technique for tending the springheads. They stay with us awhile and then move onward to some unseen horizon. The task of maintaining the springheads of
Intent, the springheads of Personal Power, and the springheads of Blessing, is then squarely placed upon the shoulders of the individual. This is the proper
way. The process of Spring Keeping is a delicate art requiring an appreciation for the subtle aspects of each spring. Harmony and balance are the key factors
in assuring that the springs are open and flowing, yet not upset in such ways to cause undue erosion of the streambeds. Care must be taken the process of
Spring Keeping and care must also be taken in maintaining harmony and balance within the Spring Keeper. Learning to traverse the Rocky slopes and rugged
mountain terrain requires proper training and proper breathing techniques to avoid fatigue and manage our personal energies and our power. With practice our
endurance, our energy field, and our Intent magnifies, and we come to grasp the relationship of Power and Intent . The assimilation of personal power and the
proper management of this energy is a matter of inherent awareness, a matter of Personal Intent. I am speaking of balancing the energy field within the cocoon;
balancing between the positive and negative, the feminine and masculine potentials of the human sphere. When balance is achieved, perception is altered, and
our fluidity opens another vista of experience. We are moving in the power of our natural energy field and in the center of our sacred space. This is akin to
emptiness. This emptiness is experienced as consciousness is released from the human form. The subtle movements within the human sphere are very powerful! As
we learn to balance our energies,... this difference between the positive and negative aspects of the human energy bubble..., we achieve a net energy
differential of zero. This is the process of emptiness. Our awareness shifts and we gain a sensation of weightlessness within the bubble of our consciousness.
The art of emptiness, zero, and the Eye of the Dragon When the positive and negative forces of our energies are in balance, they canceled each other out and
this means a net worth of zero. This means we cannot be upset when someone criticizes us, nor can we be pleased when someone praises us. Chinese sages used to
say that in order to know your worth, you have to slip through the Eye of the Dragon.... They were confident that by merging with the Dragon's Intent, one
could become invisible and go through the Dragon's Eye.. This means that when we become empty of thought and desire, for which those ancient seers meant to
become one with the Dragon's Intent, we become invisible. The art of emptiness was the technique practiced by Chinese men of wisdom when they wanted to go
through the Dragon's Eye. This is the realm of freedom, and abstract humanness doesn't count. The vastness of this realm is such that whatever is human
is so unimportant that it is lost in the vastness. (Page 64, the Sorcerer's Crossing, Taisha Abelar) Practice, practice, practice! Are you INTENT on
