‘The Knowledge and Wisdom of Whales and Dolphins’
A ‘Beyond Film’ by Jeff Phillips & Liesbet Verstraeten
'Along the rainbow
bridge,
do dolphins touch the
sky?
Their songs travel to
the stars
They're leaping out
of waters high
The mountaintops,
covered in snow
The waterdrops,
falling from clouds below
feeding the flowers,
lavender sweet
necar for bees, a
dance complete.'
LIESBET VERSTRAETEN
GREETINGS FROM ‘DOWN UNDER’! A powerful conjunction of processes and events is occurring for
us individually and for humanity as a whole. Thanks to our wonderful friends John & Peggy-anne
Garlick, Liesbet and I have just completed a wonderful seven-week stay on
Aotea, or Great Barrier Island, one of New Zealand’s most special places and
best kept secrets, a land of ancient volcanos, pristine beaches undisrupted by
human activity. There we were
constantly nurtured by the sounds of ocean and bird-song, and in our last few
days completed not only our first major piece of art for public display on the
island, but, even more importantly, the ‘trailer’ for our ‘beyond film’ about
who the whales and dolphins are as fellow sentient beings, as well as the real
global threats to their health and well-being.
You can watch it at the youtube link above. “Aihe Tohora Wananga” is ancient Maori
for “the knowledge and wisdom of whales and dolphins.” I won’t go into too much
detail here, but this ‘trailer’ is just the tiny tip of the HUGE ice-berg that
our full ‘beyond film’ will be…an ice-berg that is destined to ‘sink the
Titanics’ of humanity’s species-specific ‘superiority complex’, as well as our
delusions about the REAL global threats to cetaceans…and ourselves, but most
importantly, to celebrate the existence of the best friends humanity ever had,
to ‘plumb the depths of awe and mystery, blend with a vast spiritual
consciousness, at once intimately familiar and immensely incomprehensible.’
The whales and dolphins have been guiding this whole
process, ever since I first encountered them in 1981, and first came ‘down
under’ to the aquatic hemisphere of Gaia.
The connection has deepened and gone to next levels several times over,
especially when three dolphins approached Liesbet and myself as we were
swimming off Great Barrier in 2010.
We were transformed by that meeting of minds, and we came away with a
huge sense of urgency, a warning, if you will, of impending danger of a global
nature. A few months later the
Fukushima catastrophe began, which is by far the largest ecological disaster of
human origin ever to occur.
Around the transit of Venus a couple weeks ago the cetacean
connection went to another level, and we felt as if the collective
group-consciousness of the planetary whale and dolphin community was right
there with us, guiding our every move.
And right when Dr. Rosalie Bertell passed away, we saw the brightest
double-rainbows that we’ve ever seen, filling the whole sky with an amazing
golden glow. SO much inspiration
from ‘Aniwaniwa’ and the whales.
I will write about our ‘beyond film’ in greater detail in
subsequent posts for our cetacean and film blogs, but for now would like to
extend extreme gratitude to our friends who have contributed audio and video
footage and given us permission to use it in our film. The ‘trailer’ has no credits, but all
will be fully documented in the full film.
As I write this, a class-5 super-typhoon looks as if it’s
going to clobber Japan, and a lot of people are saying that this could deliver
the ‘final blow’ to Fukushima’s Reactor 4 building that’s been teetering on the
brink of collapse for over a year.
Who knows what the ‘powers that be’ have up their sleeve, having
witnessed the enormous amount of ‘doomsday hype’ already placed on this; with anomalous earth-quake activity in
the Fukushima area AND a class-5 super-typhoon aimed right there, it looks like
some good old HAARP-strings might be getting plucked up in the ionosphere. The London Olympics seem to be the
stage for an ‘alien invasion’ sponsored by Starbucks Coffee and Stephen Spielberg,
and a fleet of Russian war-ships is en route to Syria to off-set the massive
U.S. and NATO naval presence in the Strait of Hormuz. ‘Dooms-day 2012’ anyone?
Who knows what the immediate future holds for homo sapiens,
‘man, the wise.’ One thing, however,
is for sure: the whales and
dolphins have been here for tens of millions of years before our ancestors
could even think about thought…and regardless of what we inflict on them or the
Earth, they will still be here, in the protective multi-dimensional womb of the
ocean, guardians of life and sentinels of a true ‘extra-terrestrial’
intelligence. Will they remember
us as a brief transient of disruption and anomalous presence on Mothership
Earth?
We'd also like to extend some immense cosmic gratitude to our wonderful friend Douglas Webster of Hawaii who has made our main web-site possible and continues to support us in every way. Like ourselves, Douglas is a cetacean in human form.
In honour of Liesbet and I having been together for five years, here is our updated 'mission statement' on our recently updated site:
"For five years we have been on a unique and wonderful journey, travelling together, creating and honouring life on Mother Earth. Our visual art, photography, film-making, music and networking combine into a synergetic whole dedicated to carrying the torch of a true spiritual vision based on sharing and love. We have hitch-hiked extensively around Australia and New Zealand, connecting with the land and the people; our inspiration comes directly from the land, sea and sky; the Earth, moon and sun; our fellow beings both human and non-human, the cosmos, and eternal consciousness. We are of the P.O.O.H. tribe, the 'people of one heart.'
What we are really about is creativity in harmony with our highest spiritual path. Our mission as crew members of Mothership Earth is not only to honour the beauty and power of nature, but to create awareness of the ways that humanity is destroying our planet through ways of ‘living’ that are incompatible with life and to re-navigate our overall process towards a more conscious and coherent reality in which lethal contradictions have been resolved, in which mitakuye oyasin, ‘all our relations’ can truly flourish.
Together we’ve painted several thousand rocks and hundreds of paintings and murals, made tens of thousands of photos and four films, play heaps of music and share the fruits of our creativity with friends all over the world. We have very deep and special connections with indigenous people of land and sea, in particular, the native Americans, the Australian aborigines, and the whales and dolphins.
Jeff is a native of the Carolinas and hitch-hiked over 150,000 miles all over North America before coming ‘down under.’ His back-ground is in interdisciplinary science, mainly physics, zoology, and psychology. He has recorded several cd’s of original music and had articles published in several magazines, part of on-going ‘information activism.’
Liesbet is a native of Belgium and holds a degree in film-making. She plays native American cedar flute, has a brilliant photographic eye and artistic sensitivity, and is also a specialist in nutritional and culinary creativity. She is very much a dolphin in the form of a lovely human being."
TALK IS FOR DICTATORS:
