    About this ebook

    There is a moment in Miss Jays life when she stops looking at the world and starts truly seeing it. She begins to notice strange and miraculous thingsgifts from the universe to one who would embrace them as an absolute truth.

    Birds and animals appear at significant moments, sharing wisdom and messages and allowing Miss Jay to understand how all life is connected. She forms special friendships with three very special birds: Bindi, a rainbow lorikeet with a feathered dot on her forehead; Kooky, a kookaburra with great spiritual insight; and Master Zen, the Magpie who holds shamanic energy and is connected to spiritual elders.

    Soon, the birds and animals reveal answers about truth, happiness, purpose, meaning, and even God. Miss Jays travels take her to the Red Centre of Australia to meet with the Grand Mother Rainbow Serpent at Uluru and to the depths of the Great Barrier Reef. There, she discovers a Crystal Light City and makes a new friendHira the great humpback whale.

    Wise souls know that there is a need to balance the elements of earth, air, water, fire, and ether within our own Chakra systems, as well as around us. Isis, Osiris, and Horus appear and bring through words of encouragement and guidance.

    Why do all the animals seem to know about Miss Jay? What is her sacred mission? Who is Vargo? Friendships are rediscovered and bonds secured as they all work together to help Miss Jay find the answers to the biggest questions shes ever asked.

      Introduction

      What if your heart wanted to take you on an adventure? You have no idea where you are going, the reason for it, when you might return—if ever—and there is another stipulation; you cannot take anything with you. You cannot take family, friends, money or work—nothing but yourself. You have to trust in something bigger and greater than yourself. It’s a quiet whisper. A gnawing. An unshakeable feeling.

      Would you go?

      This happened to me about ten years ago. Nothing seemed to work anymore or feel right. I had a good job in the corporate world of Information Technology and I was earning a good income. I had nice friends, a busy social life, overseas travel, nice home. Then my heart piped up and said, I want to take you away, on a journey to find the Truth. I’m not sure how much choice I had in the matter. It seemed like doors were closing tightly shut every which way. Only one door remained open. The door leading towards the unknown.

      Step by careful step, day by day, I found myself learning about new ways, new worlds as I was letting go of the old. I attended spiritual classes and courses about meditation. Shamanic practises which involve Medicine Wheels, Shape Shifting and Totem Animals. I learned about psychic reading, Clairvoyance, Universal Mediumship, crystals, Channelling, Spirit Guides, Angels, NLP, trance dance and I became a Reiki Master and energy healer. I went so far outside of myself it’s a wonder I found my way home. That took about three years.

      During the next five years, I spent much of my time in meditation and in nature. I was looking at the world, wondering, thinking, learning and growing. This was when most people wondered if I had lost my mind. Maybe I had. I constantly wondered, who am I without the job title, income, money or home? It wasn’t easy to let go of the ‘normal’ way of life especially when others did not understand. I wondered, where do I fit in now? Where do I belong? There were many fear barriers to push through but somehow a little glimmer of light seemed to faintly guide the way. Most of the time I felt like I was in a dark tunnel, way below ground, there was no way out and no way back. The birds and the animals have been my constant companions and guides, they appear at exactly the right time with their messages from Spirit. I am so grateful and thankful.

      During the last two years I have felt like I have been in a holding pattern, waiting. Biding my time for something to unfold, appear or happen. Hoping for some clarity and direction. There has been more clearing, healing, releasing and letting go until I felt like an empty vessel with nothing left, no attachment to anything and nowhere left to go.

      When this story came to me, everything made sense—the whole journey—and it was a way for magic and enchantment to return. When we let go and trust the heart, we will find everything we have been searching for: the joy, the love, the happiness and meaning and the answers. I hope this story can help others on their path, through the hard times then out towards the joy. To rediscover the magic and innocence of childhood when anything was possible. To remember.

      What if we could all live together, as one happy family with all the plants and animals, talking the same language? What if we could work with the elementals, the Dragons, Cetaceans and Rainbow Serpents to create a magical new world? Would you? It takes courage, trust and belief.

      If we all join together, hearts and souls, we will find a way to manifest the magic and enchantment into our new reality. To create a New World of love, peace, happiness, joy, freedom and abundance for all. This story and the world therein, emerged from my heart and soul and flows to yours.

      Part One

      A Search for Answers Begins

      A New Place and

      Introducing Master Zen

      I woke up and wondered, how did I get here? Not for the first time I might add. However, on this occasion I really wondered how I ended up here, in this apartment. Adjacent to a long, meandering, 1850’s, early settler constructed, sandstone wall. It seemed to divide the people on one side, from the wildlife, animals, birds and nature. The other side of The Wall revealed a National Park. Perhaps not so meaningful to some, but to me it meant I could look out through my window on the second floor and see a family of rabbits running about, an Echidna with a pointy nose, a very shy Bandicoot, many varieties of birds, a pretty yellow tree snake, tall grasses, and big shady trees.

      It didn’t feel like city living, but here in my little sanctuary, I was a mere thirty-minute ferry ride from the centre of Sydney. I was keen to bridge the divide and bring the Kingdoms together as one. It didn’t take long before I knew that the next step on this spiritual journey was to seek the wisdom and guidance of Nature. I knew the questions I wanted answered but little did I know where this new journey would take me, how exhausted I would become before finding a true sense of freedom and peace.

      Several years ago—well almost ten now—I set out on a path of questioning: who am I really? Why am I here? How do I reach my full potential and find my Divine Purpose? Is there a God and how do I find him or her? Along with the old favourite: how do I find happiness? Shortly after I began my spiritual path, the place in which I was living, fell to pieces. It had to be rebuilt from the ground up, and apparently so did I.

      Time passed. I had done all the courses and classes I could do. I had meditated almost to death. When I had no idea who I was anymore or what I was even looking for, an Owl showed up on my white privacy board on the balcony, as the sun began to set behind it. I heard this strange noise like a HOOB, HOOB, HOOB. I thought it might have been my refrigerator, as it made odd noises. It turned out, the Owl had returned. He appeared several times during my ten years at that abode. On this occasion the Owl spoke. He said, You have reached an ending of the old and a time of new beginning. It is done. Look to the East now for rebirth.

      The Owl is my totem animal for the West. He brings wisdom and clarity. The Western compass point, on my Shamanic Medicine Wheel, represents death and rebirth. It was time to let go of the old, release the past and find something new. After Owl’s appearance I suddenly felt very tired, I had to lie down and sleep. It was the same old dream I have had for many years. I am in a hall with dozens of students, sitting for an exam. I open the test paper and have no idea how to answer any of the questions. Not only that, I don’t even know what the questions mean, what they are asking, or what language has been printed on the paper. I just don’t understand or even recognise the words or their meaning. I look around me but everyone else seems okay and I wonder, What is going on with me?

      Soon after Owl’s visit, all the work was finished on my home, after several years of trade people traipsing in and out and making a mess. It was done. So I left.

      Only a week earlier I had no idea where I would be living. I decided it was time to leave and find a new abode. A week later I woke up and saw The Wall meandering down towards the water, bushland beyond it as far as the eye could see, and the rising sun. My totem animal for the East is a snake, so it didn’t surprise me at all the day I saw a snake abseiling down the stone Wall. Snakes mean regeneration, shedding of the old skin, rebirth as well as ancient wisdom. I
