THROUGH THE MATRIX
CHAPTER FOUR
Shara Lynn Goes To The Learning Tree
The thought of dear Shalone leaving my life, gave me the courage to finally address her with some of my many questions. However, it did take me nine days before I felt I could address her, as I knew I needed time to gather my questions.
Of course, I began my process of gathering questions by communing with all my Nature Friends. I began with a huge tree that was probably even older than Shalone, but he (it was a male tree) laughed when I asked him to answer some of my questions.
“Haw, haw, haw,” the tree laughed so hardily that many of his older leaves fell to the ground. “Do you see how easily my leaves fall away to reveal the stable limbs to which they are attached? Dear human one, you are too attached to the question to allow the answer to reveal itself.”
“Thank you so very much, dear Father Tree,” I will try to allow the answers to fall into my heart and mind and easily as your leaves fall to the forest floor.
“Congratulations dear human one,” spoke the Father Tree into my heart and mind.”
As I left the Father Tree, I decided to walk deeper into the forest to see if I could find my answers there. However, I was so involved in my journey that I did not notice that the Sun was getting lower and lower on the horizon.
Suddenly, I realized that it was so dark that I could not find the way home to my village.
“Never wander through the woods without knowing where you are going,” dear Shalone had warned me many times. Therefore, I decided to ask the Father Tree if I could climb him, so that he could protect me through the dark night.
“Dear Human One,” said the Father Tree into my heart and mind. “If you stand on the huge rock next to my trunk, you will find that you can reach my lowest limb. This limb is strong enough to hold you throughout the night. When dear Sun rises, he will light the pathway back to your village.”
“Thank you so dear Father Tree,” I said as I easily climbed up the large rock and climbed up the tree and onto the wide, safe limb that would serve as my bed for the darkness. I sent a psychic message to Shalone that I was safe for the night in a nearby tree.
I knew that she had wanted me to conquer my fear of the forest at night and would be happy that I had made friends with the Father Tree. I felt her send me Unconditional Love as she reminded me that I would be protected by the tree. Shalone also told me to remember my dreams.
I did not understand what she meant until I awoke at dawn with a vivid dream still in my awareness. As Shalone had taught me, I repeated my dream to myself so that I would not forget it. I will now tell you my dream.
The first thing that I remember, was that I was standing before a group of Golden Women. What they said to me was, “We, The Ascending Ones, have some questions that we would like to ask you.”
Normally, I would be frightened to be in the company of such grand beings. However, there was such Unconditional Love streaming from their essence that I had no sense of fear at all.
In fact, I felt very comfortable. Just as the Father Tree made me feel safe and unconditionally loved, these Golden Beings also made me feel safe and Unconditionally Loved. I thought that I was going to be the one asking the questions, but I was very curious about what these Golden Beings would want to ask me.
Therefore, I muttered, “Ah, I mean, Ah YES, YES. Please ask me whatever questions you wish. I will try to be honest and sincere with my answers.”
It was then that the Golden Beings asked me the below question, which I realize now, I will be asking myself for the rest of my life. The first question that they asked me was,
“What is in-between where we are and where we are going?”
“Oh my,” I think I said out loud, as I stammered and shifted my feet. Finally, the voice of dearest Shalone came into my consciousness and reminded me, “When you are asked a question, simply tell the truth that lives within you within that NOW.”
Therefore, I took a moment to listen to my heart to find the truth that was within me in that NOW. What came from my mouth, almost without my knowledge, was,
“The rest of my life is in-between where I am and where I am going.”
The forest was totally quiet. It was as though all the beings of the forest were waiting for the reaction of the Golden Ones. When I thought that I could wait no longer, I felt my heart tingle as I heard the Golden Ones say in ONE voice, “Yes, your answer is correct for you within this NOW. Therefore we ask you to ask you,
“What do you Want to do with the rest of your life?”
I was totally shocked to realize that I had NO idea what I wanted to do with my life. At least, I had never taken the time to ask my self that question, or to have the courage to actually find the answer. I did know, very deep inside, that I REALLY wanted to do something, but I could not remember what it was.
“Remember how you chose to play when you were a child?”
Wonderfully, they were assisting me to find the answers that I had hidden from my self.
“Why did you hide these important questions from your self?”
They, whoever they were, were helping me. In fact, I could feel them sending me great love and acceptance. Their acceptance was so powerful that it ignited my courage to go deep, deep inside myself to find my answer.
I closed my eyes and put my right hand on my heart and my left hand on my forehead. I don’t know why I did that, but I just knew to do so. Then, suddenly, the answer flew into my heart and mind to tell me,
“You want to remember the Truth that you were given before you took this body.”
Yes, Yes, of course! I always knew that there was some kind of information, some form of truth that I had locked deep inside of me that I would not be able to recover until I was ready and willing to act on that truth.
“Oh NO,” I said inside, feeling my self-pity coming into my consciousness.
“NO! NO!” I cried so loudly that sleeping birds took to the sky and small creatures dug deeper into the earth. It seemed as if a distant thunder roared and tears began to flow down my face.
“Do you see the power that you hold within your self?”
“Yes, Yes, I answered the invisible voice. But, why have I never used it?” I asked the tree and the dark forest surrounding us.
This time, my question went unanswered. The forest was still, the tree was still as a stone, and all the small creatures had taken to their burrows and nests. I was alone again—alone with my self.
“No, you are NOT alone!” I heard an inner voice say. “Then, I fell fast asleep, but I had an amazing dream. The Learning Tree told me, while I was in the dream, to tell myself the dream as soon as I woke up, so that I would not forget it.
Therefore, I will now attempt to remember the message from the Learning Tree.

CHAPTER FIVE
Shara Lynn’s Message from The Learning Tree
As I awoke from my sleep, I heard inside to repeat all that I have heard in my dream so that I would not forget it. Therefore, I will say my dream out loud so that all my Nature Friends will hear. Then, when I come back into these woods, they will be able to help me remember this important message.
I will now tell you what I heard in my dream:
The picture I can see from that dream is myself standing at the base of a huge golden stairway. I knew that if I were to understand why I was there, that I would need to climb the stairway.
Each stair was quite large and almost too steep for me to climb. However, I knew that I MUST get to the top of this golden stairway, so I decided that I was, indeed, strong enough to make this journey!! So, resting a moment on each stair, I began to climb them, one-by-one.
I realized that it was very important that I rested on each stair, as each stair spoke to me. However, they did not speak to me in words. Each stair spoke to my bodily feelings, and different tones that came into my hearing.
Also, before I climbed each stair, it was gold, but once I stepped on it, different colors, which created different feelings, came into my vision as a color, into my hearing as a tone, and into my body as a feeling.
It took me a while, but eventually I realized that each stair was telling me something very important. However, I cannot remember the messages at all. However, I can remember that the colors from the bottom stairs to the top stair were:
Red—Orange—Yellow—Green—Aquamarine—Blue—Purple.
The Red Stair seemed to activate something at the base of my spine…
The Orange Stair seemed to activate something in my lower abdomen…
The Yellow Stair seemed to activate something in my stomach…
The Green Stair seemed to activate something in my heart…
The Aquamarine Stair seemed to activate something in what I call my High Heart…
The Blue Stair seemed to activate something in my throat…
And the Purple Stair seemed to activate something on the top of my head…
I do not know why I had these sensations while climbing the stairs, but I do know that I felt like a different person when I got to the top of the stairway. I don’t know how to explain this “different me,” but I felt very strong and very loving.
But, then, much to my surprise, I woke up and found my self at the top of the tree. I do not know how that happened while I was sleeping, but I had to call out to Shalone for strength and courage to find my way down from the tree and onto solid ground.
After I called Shalone, in a more somewhat frightened manner, I hear her say, “Do NOT have fear dear ONE. You climbed up the tree, now YOU can climb back down the tree. Just think of the colors in reverse and that will help you.”
Oh, Beloved Shalone, how did she know that I was at the top of the tree? However, knowing that she was somehow with me, I found the courage to go back down the tree. In fact, it was even I who decided to go through the colors in reverse.
I found that when I called the color purple, I felt very strong, almost regal, and could feel a soft breeze across the top of my head. “Good” I unconsciously said to myself. “That is one stair down.
When I thought only about the color, and the place on my body that I could feel that color, don’t ask me how I “felt a color,” but somehow I did, I could easily, and calmly, climb down the tree. Before I knew it, I was standing on the big rock that seemed to lean against the tree.
As I walked home, I wondered if I would share my experience with anyone. Of course, Shalone already knew!
