Just a note to introduce this new kind of channeling. Some of us – Rob, Roxanne, me and Rachel – have been experimenting for a while with simultaneous channeling. None of us have ever heard of this before, but we started by individually centering and then gathering around a focal point, a fire in the center of a circle, so we call these sessions “Council Fires”. Then a conversation emerges between all parties, our human selves and the Beings whose energy is coming through us. On this day, I was completely surprised to be channeling a Native American entity who called himself Red Bird. Later I looked up the name, and Wikipedia had a write-up and a painting of Chief Red Bird How interesting to have this happen! We are all so much more complex and amazing than we know.

COUNCIL FIRE CHANNELING June 13th, 2025
Rob channeling Wakanataka
Rachel channeling Mother Mary
Jennifer channeling Chief Red Bird
Jennifer: So, I’m climbing down a ladder into a kiva. It’s a beautiful excavated Earth structure, combination of above ground, below ground. It’s a long ladder down into it from a little hole at the top. It’s just beautiful. You look up and you see sky, you look around you, and there’s a circle of people, people that you care about, people that you love, that you respect and admire, and just that are part of you, that are part of your family, part of your community.
Rob: I’ve been watching a YouTube channel [with] a guy named The Trek Planner who’s traveling through and doing a three part series on Chaco Canyon, and he was going into the kivas and showing everybody what they looked like back in the day.
Jennifer: Cool. Well, it may look like that for you or maybe look different, but I was just getting the the name of Chief Red Bird. I I don’t know if that’s me or someone else, if that’s who I used to be or who I’m gonna channel. How about you, Rachel?
Rachel: I’m just sitting just yet. I’m not ready. I’m sitting with my mother. I’m at my bench. I don’t see the visuals the same way you guys do. I’m not sure yet, so I’m just going to continue to sit if that’s okay.
Rob: If we’re going to be in a kiva, then I guess I should invite Wakanataka.
Jennifer: Oh, how fun to create a gathering of our own, where we can share our thoughts, which we are already doing in the kiva of our Zoom Room. So let us all invite whoever we would like to to be with us in this circle.
Rachel: Mother Mary.
Jennifer: Wonderful. I was just seeing her. That’s beautiful.
Mother Mary: Hello all. It’s Mother Mary. It’s nice to be with you today in this moment, in this time.
Chief Red Bird: Welcome all. This is Chief Red Bird, rather a surprise for Jennifer. It is a role which she herself played a great many lifetimes ago. She was very happy in this role at that time, and lived to a great old age, not particularly famous, but a lifetime in which great wisdom was stored, and the wisdom of what it is to live in community, what it is to love one another and support one another and to take one’s challenges together in a group, to help one another and to celebrate one another for all of the joys that life brings. All was shared equally and abundantly and openly. People did not hide from one another. People were transparently and openly who they were, knowing they were part of the group, accepted as part of the group, and cherished and honored in equal measure. We enjoyed one another greatly, and it was a grand adventure.
Rob: This is Wakanataka. This one invited me in, and I thank you all for allowing me to join you. Was just commenting to Rob that there are no coincidences. He has recently been drawn to watching shows about life in such a community is this, with the kiva at the center as the gathering point for the community, not just for spiritual-oriented events, although All of life was far more spiritual in those communities, but for any community gathering. It was the multi purpose room, if you will, a place to gather and share, just to be with each other, much as you are gathered here today. So again, thank you.
Mother Mary: This is Mother Mary. It’s delightful to be with you as we sit together in this joyful community. Jennifer, you had time in this place. And Jennifer, no— Rob and Rachel, your paths have crossed in different times, different dimensions, not necessarily in this one. But isn’t it a wonderful place to be? And that you all can commune together no matter where the location, time and space, dimension, and just be one in the love, in the love of being together.
Red Bird: Yes, in the sharing of wonder, the sharing of experience, the sharing of dreams, the sharing of memories, even from other places and other times. We were, as you are now, able to open to many dimensions of ourselves, parallel lives. You can call them former or future, but truly, they are all parallel. And you can express yourself in the Now moment in many, many different ways, such as Jennifer is doing now in this moment, re-membering and re-vitalizing the energy of this one who lived so happily in an indigenous First Peoples community. But we brought with us much from our awarenesses of other times, other places, other experiences, even out into the stars, which was the topic of your earlier communications.
We were most interested to hear that you are owning yourselves as being populous in so many different spaces, not just the earthly one. Your soul journey is vast. Your memories are so numerous, as numerous as the stars in the night sky or the grains of sand on a beach. They are so numerous that you will just trickle a few grains through your fingers, metaphorically, when you are remembering actively. It would be rather overwhelming to remember it all.
So, little by little, you add more to your knowledge of yourself, but you have in many lifetimes been leaders, each of you. You have been leaders because you are very old souls, and you have often incarnated into groups where your access to wisdom is a little more to the surface than others. You have deliberately veiled yourselves less heavily so that you could act as guide.
There are many instances where civilizations and groups of people have become lost for quite a long time, become confused, lost their way, and so many of you who have been with the planet since the beginning desire to come forward, willing to be in a leadership role, not always obviously, sometimes behind the scenes or in a quiet way, supportive, but in the still moments, you were supporting those who were making the decisions for the good of the whole and guiding them.
So I do share this so that you begin to get a glimpse of all that you are. You are so much more than you can begin to fathom. What a wonder that is!
Mother Mary: May I add, it’s wonderful to live in the wonder, isn’t it?
Red Bird: Truly.
