Interview with Twintreess
by Karleena Ravenwood

I smile at the Twintreess (Marilyn and Tohmas). They don't look like Twins. Tohmas, tall and lean, gazes at me deliberately and intensely, while Marilyn keeps falling out of her chair with a laugh twice her size. Still, the more I talk with them, they more I hear the same passion -- a commitment to their spirits always. It fills my heart. And I think, it will yours, too.

Hi Marilyn and Tohmas! I know you listen to your spirits every day. What does that really mean?
Tohmas: Thanks for asking. We are listeners. That's what we do -- it's who we are. Marilyn's and my energies combine in a unique and grounded way that allows us to hear the spirits in all life. And because, we're nature-people, most of what we hear is the nature spirits -- plants, animals, stones.

Marilyn: Every morning, we listen to our spirits. They share their eternal, timeless wisdom and we record it. We ask our questions, we talk. In other cultures and times people have been talking to spirit like this forever. It just sounds different in these days when we seem to be so disconnected.

Does that help you to be less disconnected?
Tohmas: We know we are connected to everything. By aligning with our spirits and the elementals, we live in the resonant field where we connect continually, even if our minds try to tell us otherwise. We affirm what we have been taught by spirit every now and they affirm us with synchronicities -- miracles.

You just covered a lot of territory there: What exactly are the elementals? How do you align with them? What miracles?
Tohmas: The elementals are the spirits of the elements that are in all life upon the earth: fire, earth, air, water and ethers. That's what we are all made of, and they are contained in every life form on this planet. When you align with them, you align with the inherent power in all of life.

Okay, but how exactly do you align with them?
Tohmas: Our spirits have told us over and over that we are free beings. We come here to the earth freely and each second we have unlimited free choices and possibilities. Marilyn and I choose to align with the elementals by stating it, by acting upon that and by doing rituals to affirm that. We accept the elementals' invitation to co-create more life.

And they answer us by making miracles with us. For instance, Marilyn and I were asked by the elementals to put on a festival where humans and devas would be together on the land, celebrating each other. Well, we had no idea how to do that! But we just listened. They completely showed us how to do it and that's how we manifested the non-profit, Elementals of Life. And EOL sponsored the Festival of the Little People, here in Minnesota and Wisconsin, for years.

When's the next Festival?
Marilyn: The Festivals have paused for a while. The elementals told us that EOL was gearing up for a new direction -- a really expanded one -- and we needed all our energy for the new direction instead.

Tohmas: Exactly. Now the elementals tell us we're grounding a new earth paradigm. Most people live focused on fear; the new earth paradigm is based on equal respect for every single being, now. The elementals have linked their resonant fields with ours and this is the energy that is available in the earth consciousness here and now. Our job as humans is to ground it, to practice it, and walk it around in everything we say and do.

Up until now, all life forms on the earth have respected each other, except for humans. In the new earth paradigm, human beings will re-birth as a new race practicing equal respect for all. There will be more life and freedom for everybody. We'll work and play together, in our innate, unconditional love. We will be able to respectfully, spontaneously manifest whatever we need and want.

So how do we make all that happen?
Marilyn: Well, our spirit families have given us very specific parameters for that. First of all, we need to recognize that we are unconditional love. That is our true nature. We were created in love and we can co-create in love. It's a lot to imagine, but it's the truth. And why not trust in that, instead of fear, which only keeps us apart from our true nature and everything else on the earth?

Then out of that love, we will practice acceptance for everything. After all, we are free co-creators who chose to be here and to experience everything that we do. Acceptance simply honors our original choice to be on the earth and then every choice after that.

The paradigm gives us ways to practice love and acceptance through respect and responsibility. This is the biggest picture we can work from; it includes everyone and everything, as they choose. Through EOL (and AhhhMuse, our business) we are sharing the core practices to ground the new earth paradigm through various tools/events. In this we are connecting with people and beings all around the world. Right now.
