James Intro to DP Story

James Introduction to the Dorhman Prophecy

The anthropologist, Francis Harwood, was interviewing a Sioux elder about his tribe’s myths and penchant for storytelling and asked why his people told stories from generation to generation. The Elder answered, "in order to become human beings." Harwood then asked, "But aren't we humans already?" The Elder smiled in a knowing way.
"Not everybody makes it."

Becoming a human being is not as simple or automatic as most believe. Sure, our bodies are human, but we can live in the hollowness of one who is indoctrinated to give their attention away. Our attention is like an impulsive wind, scattered and unsure of what to anchor to. What to believe in. What to express. Our True Humanity remains in the chrysalis of a protected state, waiting to break through the thinning walls that contain it.

What are these walls? Why do they exist? How do we emerge from the chrysalis and spread our wings to explore the finer dimensions beyond our human senses and in doing so, become more human? These are the questions that are explored in The Dohrman Prophecy.

As a young child you may have looked up at an apple tree and seeing apples hanging from a branch, believed they grew from the branch. Later you realised that the branch is only a part of the tree and the tree is only a part of the earth and the earth is only a part of the cosmos. In this chain of interconnection you can almost understand how the apple grows from the universe. So it is with each of us.
Whatever branch (culture or ethnicity) we arise from, we grow from the broader universe and in response, the universe grows from our collective essence.

The Apocryphon of John, a text from the Nag Haammadi, says, “We work closely with the Earth goddess so that our higher wisdom might correct what she lacks by the expression of the light we hold and share.” The Gnostics believed in a higher relationship between earth and humanity. They understood that the realignment of life on earth with our cosmic centre was the spiral of co-evolution and that made us truly human because we were able to perceive earth as a part of us.

I realize that people are inclined to reach to the heavens when they think about their spirituality, but sometimes what we search for in the branches can only be found in the roots. Earth plays a central role in the story of the Dorman Prophecy, expressed through the characters of stone, trees, animals and other elements. Earth is the grounding force in this story and because its presence is so strong, the subtle energetics of the higher dimensions can be used like a counterpoint in a musical composition.

While this story is based in a mythological time and place, what is important to know is that the story is drawing you out of self-references so you may operate as a holistic reader or listener, fully embodying the story and its archetypes without comparing your time and place with that of the story’s characters.

You may get more value from this story is you contribute in its telling by using the Comments and Notes sections, or participating in the Groups. These are not essential, but for most they will help you anchor the insights, ideas or inspirations you acquire along your reading path.
Hierophany is a Greek term used to describe the manifestation of the sacred.
Hierophanies are breakthroughs of the divine energies into the material world. They are like portals between dimensions. The role of storytelling is to try to bring these energies to our world of separation and ego, and the reader does their part to receive them, explore them, share them, and apply them if they are inspired to.

A hierophant that uses today’s technology is quiet different than those of ancient times. In this project there is a story, there is art, there is technology, and there is a global community of readers and writers who function as an aspect of this hierophant: The Dohrman Prophesy web book project. Each of you, by extension, is part of this project if you choose to be, and those who make this choice can add dimension and texture to this project as it grows and evolves well into the future.

Myths are not single-minded or single-sided. They are light-givers to all who approach in their growing sense of unity. They have meaning to me, to you, and everyone else, but this meaning may be very different for each of us, and so it is important to value the diversity of interpretation, or at least allow sincere differences to interact and form new insights.

Harmony is a vital aspect of a hierophant. Those who live in close touch with their environment do not seek to control it, but rather to understand it; to establish a form of harmony with it. I would ask that each of you keep this in mind as you add your notes and comments to this project, giving it grace and allowing its meaning to expand and embrace other views.

Each person has a rich and complex inner structure that responds to information – especially hierophantic information that fuses earth archetypes and higher dimensional energies. It is this inner structure that directs them like the sonar that guides a ship. Our “sonar” is what we use to navigate life, and you may think of it as the intuitive faculty. This is what I recommend you listen to as you read.

There is a mutual interdependence between all participants on this reading path, and thus the forming of a community – a real community that is caring and encouraging – seemed an appropriate and important element of this project.

You may look at this web book and see only words and images, but if you feel a common thread it will lead you to a folded order; subtle, implicit, and patiently waiting to be unfolded in this project by someone like you.

William Sullivan wrote, “One feels myth first and understands it later.” If you try to analyze what you are reading, to pull it into immediate comprehension, you may overlook the feeling part of the story, the part where you become everything in the story. This is the state of insight I would ask you to read and listen from because from this state you will reap the greatest benefit.

Each character in the story is a part of each of us. As you go deeper in your reading path, you will uncover aspects of yourself that are obvious and some that are hidden or unspoken. There may be some characters you would prefer to reject, but I would encourage you to invite all of them into your heart and listen deeply to each.

The Dohrman Prophecy is very different from the WingMakers Materials, but what they have in common is the intention to summon twenty-first century hierophantic information and share it with as many people as possible. It is my hope that this story becomes a path into your individual spiritual nature, and that it will help you contemplate the inmost and profound qualities that lie within you. The story, with your help, will continue to grow. Its value will evolve. I hope you enjoy it and listen to its composite voice, remembering that it is truly your own.

From my heart to yours,

~James~

While this story is based in a mythological time and place, what is important to know is that the story is drawing you out of self-references so you may operate as a holistic reader or listener, fully embodying the story and its archetypes without comparing your time and place with that of the story’s characters. ~James Intro DPStory

I would like to suggest that James is not saying that our own 'time and space' (often he calls this 'my world' and 'your world') is not important or purposeless.
I understand this to signify the sense that we live in the 'modern' world where - for example, forests are less a dominant feature of the landscape, and the church is less powerful than it was in the past - we live in a world which we have access to information far more readily...we live in a very different world...

...Yet the world of the DPStory is something quiet recognizable - it is not so alien that it cannot be understood - it is something we could identify as being 'the past' in relation to our own world.

This is important in that often we have a history which is romanticized. What we learn as history is not really truth. It is bent to suit the writers and the readers own tastes.

So we are asked to view our own history without judgment. We are asked to view the participants of our own history without judgement. To step outside of that habit that we are not swayed this way or that.

The archetypes are embodied within the Characters of this story. We ourselves are also in a story.
To understand our own story, we can understand the archetypes within it. We can understand the disconnection of the characters with their inner selves as they seek to understand their place in the experience of life they are living, and we can understand that as observers (readers) we have a tendency to love some characters and hate others - depending on our own preferences.

What James is asking each of us to do is put aside that tendency and remain neutral in regard to all the characters in order to practice another way of 'reading' a story - and in relation to Lyricus information - to understand the practice in relation to our own stories shared in this 'our world'.

In regard to this link subject – I understand that this introduction to DP is to aid the awakening Ego Personality involved within the story of life on earth (HMS) to understand the focus is not on ‘the enemy’ however each individual has been taught to regard their enemy…but onto the greater fact that we are all under the spell of illusion through this experience we have chosen to partake of – and all the fear y stories we have come to believe as being real are the very barrier to our ultimate freedom.

Indeed, and aspect of that which seeks to vilify by suppression and infiltration is in itself a protection mechanism invented by the fearful in order to discharge its natural nurturing reactions which are enforced by the very nature of the situation we ‘find’ ourselves within.

Thus – Understanding (1x6HVs) helps the awakening individual not to wander down the paths of judgement as to the historical fact of life which engaged acts of murder, lying, slander, mis-information etc…to PROTECT what it sees as ‘Precious’ or otherwise ‘not to be sullied by that which its see as a ‘corruptor’ because such practice is well understood by that which also practices the same.

Ultimately it is the continued insertion of the ‘Higher Self’ aspect of who we all are and come from (before we came here) which is what the human drama is protecting itself from, and in making up stories about the nature of what we are and came from, we have in effect, as a specie – come to believe these stories to the point where the voice of the higher self quantum presence…Universal Entity…is the scary monster we fight off with every trick in the book.

However, the Universal Entity is true to ITS nature and will not silence its presence when opportunity affords it the opening.

Indeed, ALL (6x6HVs) working in congruity are the key elemental to affording the individual opportunity to connect with Higher Self, bypassing the protective mechanisms of the nurturing elemental of human experience which is projected through the genetic mind of the collective specie.

In relation to ANY enemy - Appreciation, Compassion, Forgiveness, Humility, Understanding, and Valor are the applicable responses to adopt.

The world has done what it has done and First Source understand perfectly that NO ONE is to blame and this is a key to unlocking the door, over-riding the barriers, opening the Grand Portal…calmly and confidently one by one adding our behavioural intelligence to the collective to enable this event.
