From Truth or Consequences to Truth or Dare. I woke up this morning wondering where the last two weeks had gone. The previous fourteen days had felt like a blur. I didn’t even know which day of the week it was. I knew it was 6:30 AM, and I was in a Walmart parking lot in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
After a morning smoothie at Starbucks, I strolled to Target to purchase Madonna’s latest CD, MDNA. I was very excited.
With MDNA playing in my CD player, I headed west on Interstate 10. My original plans for the day were to drive 3.5 hours to Safford, Arizona, and then stop for the evening at another Walmart. However, when I crossed the Arizona/New Mexico state line, I gained an extra hour and kept driving.
The drive was a complete blur, like the last two weeks. I must have listened to MDNA at least five times, and with each listen, I fell deeper and deeper in love with the music. It was so utterly fantastic, not to mention the fact that my name, Christopher, and my name, Jordan, were both mentioned in two different songs on the CD.
Unlike all of the songs in the first chapter of my autobiography, Madonna And Chris, where the lyrics to some of Madonna’s most popular music described certain events that I had survived as a younger man, some of the songs on this particular album felt as though they had been written directly about me and my journeys. It was strange to think this, but I couldn’t deny how I felt when I listened to some song lyrics for I’m Addicted, Superstar, I’m A Sinner and Masterpiece. Perhaps this was nothing more than a strange coincidence.
DOWN THE MDNA RABBIT HOLE
For example: You’re Mike Jordan, sounded like You’re My Jordan, You’re My Superstar…I’m your biggest fan, it’s true. (If my hunch was correct, she was my biggest fan!)
Five hours and 273 miles after departing Las Cruces, I arrived in Globe, Arizona.
After a quick bite to eat, I drove straight to the Besh-Ba-Gowah Archaeological Park on the 33°22′ Parallel.
Google Maps 2012
After paying my $5.00 entry fee, I watched a 14-minute film about the history of the people that once lived at Besh-Ba-Gowah.
When the film was complete, the museum attendant, Rose, escorted me out the front door and almost forced me to allow her to take the following photo. She called me “brother,” so I couldn’t resist.
I walked around the park for approximately 15 minutes, searching for the perfect place to perform my Long Range Vision invocation. Once I found the spot, I was confident I had made the right choice.
I entered into the small doorway of a two-story pueblo…
climbed the ladder to the second floor…
and sat next to the western wall, facing east. I then began my 20-minute invocation.
While meditating, I noticed a hummingbird sitting on a branch outside the window to the north. Then I saw a hawk circling in the sky a hundred feet or so directly over the hummingbird.
As I continued to do my invocation, I could hear a dove cooing outside. That’s when I noticed that the hawk had drifted across the sky and reappeared in the window to the east. The red circle in the photo below indicates the hawk’s location.
The dove brought messages of love, peace, messengers, and gentleness, while the hummingbird offered the following wisdom: long journeys, love, joy, and happiness. I sensed a very warm welcome from the ancestors of Besh-Ba-Gowah. The sighting of the hawk almost brought tears to my eyes.
As soon as I completed my mediation, I blessed the stone I had brought from the Rio Grande hot springs in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, with good luck and prosperity and placed it on the floor of the pueblo for someone to discover later. I performed the between 4:00 and 4:20 PM.
TEST YOUR INTUITION RESULTS: I’ve marked the stone that I took from the Rio Grande the previous day with a red dot.
I then looked directly overhead and took the following photograph.
I descended the ladder from the second floor and exited the pueblo. I walked around the grounds for a stone to take to my next destination.
While I explored the park, I noticed again that the hummingbird appeared to follow me, just like it did during my visit to the Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary in Phoenix in November 2011.
Unable to find the perfect stone in the park’s main section, I was eventually led to the lower part of the botanical gardens, where I found it waiting for me between two substantial rosemary bushes.
I invoked the ancestors and the Creator and asked permission to remove the stone. I quietly placed it in my pocket and returned to the visitor’s center.
I made a point to step inside the visitor’s center to say goodbye to Rose, and then I took one last photo of the park as I walked toward my van.
By the way, the Besh-Ba-Gowah Museum’s address was 1324 S. Jesse Hayes Rd. Globe, AZ 85501.
I spent the rest of the evening working on my journal at Starbucks, which is located in a Safeway grocery store. I spent the night in a Walmart parking lot, which is right next door to Safeway.
I went to bed around 10:30 PM.
