YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

This is my first memory: My family is taking a trip to Yellowstone National Park. It is 1954 and we are driving our new yellow and white Ford. I am in the back seat asleep as we enter the park. I sit up and sleepily look out of the car window and am a bit disoriented about where I am. All of a sudden we drive around a corner and see a herd of about a dozen moose. They are grazing on some grass quite a distance away (far enough for us to see them well, yet feel safe). I did not know what they were. They were huge and the park was a beautiful cacophony of blues and greens and felt very serene. I was 4 years old.

I remember a lot about this trip to Yellowstone. Of course, Old Faithful was fun and my brother and sister and I tried to be the one to say exactly when it would blow. There were tiny cabins that we stayed in to the right of Old Faithful. I especially remember the geysers and walking on the path through them. I can still see the blue, green and yellow water bubbling up from the earth and smell the sulfur and other fumes wafting up. There was a tremendously strong river that went through one part of the park and it had made a deep canyon. At one place there were steps—hundreds of them—that went down, down, down, to a small platform where water with incredible force splashed us. That was pretty scary and I remember gladly taking my dad’s hand so I wouldn’t go tumbling in.

Then, of course, there was feeding the bears out of the car window. I remember feeding them Twinkie pieces and even having my picture taken alone with a bear standing outside the car. What were my parents thinking ?!???????? This activity is strictly forbidden today.

The next time I went to Yellowstone National Park I was twenty-five and traveling and camping cross-country for the summer with a friend. We had camped in a field looking at the Grand Tetons the night before entering Yellowstone. It was a perfect evening with a totally clear sky with a gazillion stars, a full moon, a camp fire and the outline of the mountains majestically looming above in the distance. Ahhh... What can I say…

The first thing I saw when we entered Yellowstone Park (no, I was not sleeping!) was a pair of white swans floating gracefully down a beautiful blue stream. I was enchanted. The natural wonders of the park were the same as I had remembered them from when I was four. The little cabins had been replaced by an awesome lodge made from huge logs. It was magnificent! Right outside the lodge we waited for Old Faithful to go, and it did right when it was supposed to, to the delight of the small crowd gathered around it.

I started thinking about Yellowstone again last week when I heard a report on NPR radio about the power of the potential volcanic eruption in Yellowstone. They said it would be many thousands of times greater that Mt. St. Helens. Geologists believe the Yellowstone volcanoes erupted 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 650,000 years ago, showing a release cycle of approximately every 650,000 years.

Then I was at a friend’s house playing cards and she had a National Geographic with Yellowstone National Park on the front cover and many pictures and an article inside. It also talked about the volcanic activity at Yellowstone.

Last night I opened my July issue of Sedona Journal of Emergence magazine to an article on Yellowstone National Park and the Great Tetons. This article, entitled The Ascension Infinity Portal: The Bossom of Gaia was written by James Tyboronn. It spoke about the parks as a micro-portrait of all the titanic forces that form our Earth today.

According to this article, this area is vaulted to a higher energy place, as has been prophesized. It occurred on the Solstice of June 21, 009, when the two vortexes of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons merged into one called the “infinity ascension portal”. The article brings up some interesting points of views and explains the template of vortex-portal systems, how Yellowstone is the Serengeti of North America, the Clemental Kingdom and Obsidian Cliff, the crown chakra resonances, the helix counter spin flow, the unique healing of the geysers, the new ascension infinity vortex-portal, the elixir of life, and the balancing force of the volcanoes.

This article is fascinating and soul-opening and very much worth reading. The article points out the healing place Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons have become and how they are far more than National Parks. Tyboronn says “The unique area of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons is the classic reproduction of all the harmonics and frequencies of the heavens that are available to us on the ascending Earth plane. It is a harmonic symphony, caring all the frequencial notes of the ascension. It will strongly emerge as a new pilgrimage site.”

I am thrilled that my first memory was in Yellowstone Park. In talking with people who have visited, they all have fantastic stories to tell about their being there. I am already planning a trip there again to experience the wonders and healing power of this sacred place.
