The Beauty of the Alchemy

Earlier today my change from a $20.00 dollar bill came to 7 dollars and some change, which was returned to me as 6 paper bills, 1 gold dollar, and some other smaller coins. (true) 

Interestingly enough, as I was driving home from the store, I noticed a receipt in the back seat with the numbers "671" written across the top. (true)

Nothing too profound there.

Yet, it was an interesting numerical alignment that prompted me to pay closer attention to other events unfolding that day.

 Later, when taking a closer look at the coin, I noted some interesting information.  

The coin depicts a Native American woman carrying a sleeping child on her back.

The word "LIBERTY" appears across the top of the coin, right above the woman's head.

The words "IN GOD WE TRUST" are prominent on the left side of the coin.

The flip side depicts an Eagle in an upward soaring position.

  I had never seen a coin like this before.

I was intrigued by the coin's appearance, its weight, its color, the imagery on both sides, the words.

I was especially curious about this young woman whose beautiful face and sleeping child managed to find their way into the palm of my hand -- at the exact same moment we were creating a parallel reality game with the discovery of physical objects (like art, treasures, gems, and coins) bearing certain information being a key component of the game. 

Considering all, the appearance of that coin in the palm of my hand, on that particular day, in that particular moment, did not escape my notice and attention.

Upon research and consultation* I learned that the woman's name is Sacagawea, which in Hidatsa, the language of a Native American tribe, translates to “Bird Woman"* 

I also learned that the child on her back is her infant son.

I learned that Sacagawea and an enslaved African named York were integral to the success of the Lewis and Clark mission. 

Regarding Sacagawea, the narrative reveals that her "husband", Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian fur trader, was hired by Lewis and Clark as a means of procuring Sacagawea's knowledge and skills. 

One publication observed that Sacagawea's contribution "far exceeded anything Lewis and Clark had expected." 

According to this summary, Sacagawea "provided crucial knowledge of the topography of some of the most rugged country of North America and taught the explorers how to find edible roots and plants previously unknown to European-Americans."

Interesting. 

It's so amazing how they spin the story to favor their one-sided narratives.

The truth is that the white man's capture and enslavement of Sacagawea and York turned out to be quite beneficial to them. In the absence of their guidance, the white men would have starved and died and the mission most assuredly would have failed.  

Regardless of how the story is spun, Sacagawea's reality is that, as a child of only 11, she was abducted from her home and sold into slavery. 

At 15 and already 6 months pregnant, she was forced to marry an old white man, get him a job, and then perform his work, all while carrying the child she bore for him on her back.

 The placement of the Sacagawea gold coin in the palm of my hand did not seem a coincidence. 

In fact, from the clarity of this alignment, we imagined a parallel reality in which Sacagawea was a Deep Seer, gifted with the rare ability to orchestrate parallel crossovers to reveal truth (and to correct blatant unreasonable injustices).

Our assessment is that, through this gold coin, Sacagawea reached across time to manifest a reality that would allow her face to be seen and her message heard and understood.

I sensed that the pain Sacagawea endured was made bearable due to her knowledge that, at the end of the journey, she would be able to look back, reach across time, and tell her story in real time.* 

In the image, I see a fierce warrior who endured an arduous journey with strength and confidence.

I also see an artist who possessed the creative genius to imagine a narrative that would allow her to convey her sense of loss, betrayal, and survival and simultaneously reach across time to warn others headed down the road leading to the same path.

I imagine that, while looking back over her shoulder, Sacagawea is silently communicating with her mind, "I see you" -- fearlessly staring into the eyes of her enslavers, boldly declaring that she is fully aware of the depth of their betrayal.  

The look on her face is one of satisfaction -- for she has seen their entire game and knows the full scope of their plans, strategies, and lies.
