Most of my newsletter subscribers have been with me for many years. You've seen my photos and the short stories accompanying them. We've learned a lot, shared a lot...and now I want to, on occasion, go into longer discussions with you about - nature beings. We start with:

How to Talk with a Faery

One of the good things about living so long is that I’ve had a lot of different experiences. I’ve learned, among other things, how to talk with a faery.

For myself, this expertise has emerged from my lifelong study of consciousness. I’ve now explored this topic in many different ways.

Brought up by a reporter mother and an engineer father, I approached my explorations by asking questions and seeking how to analyze and present my discoveries to others.

The Value of Community

I’ve discovered that “community” is important in all realms of consciousness. Community evolves as lifeforms gather around a particular theme such as family, sports or music. Each of us belongs to many different communities. We autonomically adapt to their varied consciousnesses as we move through them during our day – family, work, exercise club, etc.

Adaptation to a specific consciousness is learned. When we go shopping in New York City, our energy is different from when we go walking in Central Park. When we talk with a ballet dancer, we position our energy differently from when we converse with a rugby player.

The same type of shifts occur when we want to communicate with the different lifeforms who co-exist with us on earth. Nature beings, for example, are real, sentient lifeforms who co-exist inside a broad spectrum of earth consciousness with many sub-sectors. When we go for a walk in nature, we just naturally tune into a sector of that broad consciousness – a field, prairie or mountain – and, at an advanced level, a fairy, a gnome or a Greenman. Each energy is different and we automatically – or consciously – adapt to that community.

Interdimensional communication begins when we move from unconsciously adapting to different energies to consciously shifting across a broader spectrum of possible energies, called dimensions, in order to understand, ask questions and analyze. And yes, we can talk with a faery – and prove it.


Meditation Can Help Us Locate Interdimensional Communities

Meditation is an under-appreciated, versatile consciousness tool. It has many uses. And meditation and other introspective practices can be the gateway to exploring the many realms of beings with whom we co-exist.

When we are learning to meditate, we are focused on stilling our mind and senses to exist in a state of detached peace. Eventually, some meditators start noticing that where we are internally has a certain feel. When we move about internally, that feel changes.

What happens next differs. Some meditators tell the feeling to stop or to shut up, and they close down the sounds to experience the peace. I liken this to Dad telling the kids to shut up, he’s had a hard day and just wants some silence. Other meditators, such as myself, become curious as to what is creating those feelings and we start exploring.

This exploration leads us to understand that there is sentient life everywhere in the universe. These lifeforms may use different communication methods than humans do. If we keep at it, we can eventually establish rudimentary communication with these life forms. Our ability to comprehend grows with practice and eventually we can become quite proficient in communicating understandably with this other-dimensional being.


We Are All One

We can also communicate with other life forms via unity of consciousness. For some, as we continue our explorations, we rise above physical separateness and become aware that we are all one in spirit. It is as spirit descends that it takes different forms. This is because each spark of spirit gradually develops its own plans of action and fulfilment, based on its original quality, directives from its spirit group, and the experiences it encounters along its journey.

Therefore, while we all appear to be separate, at some point on the way back to the ultimate one source, we and what we are observing are connected in a unity of consciousness. We start splitting into our separateness below this point.

So if, through introspective practices, we can travel to this point of oneness, we can consciously connect to and communicate with that other life form. As we become familiar with that consciousness, we are able to identify farther and farther down into the everyday world of that being, and our communications can become increasingly detailed. We can even photograph that connection.

Photography Can Reveal This Connection

I was introduced to nature beings photography back in 2003, by a gnome who quite unexpectedly materialized in front of me. He invited me to photograph a moss fairy and helped me successfully achieve that feat. From here, I accepted a contract to photograph nature beings, as a process to help bring our two realms into conscious collaboration with each other. The very real issue is to awaken humanity to our unconscious abuse of nature, and to foster cooperation between our species. We humans need to change, if our earth is to survive.

Most of my photographic explorations begin by my consciously communicating with the life form. I learn about them from them.

By the time I reached the proverbial 10,000 hours required to achieve mastery of any subject, I had collected a lot of photographs, experience and knowledge. I now know how to both photograph and talk with a faery.


A Nature Beings Community Share

Over the past twenty years, others around the world have also been connecting to the nature beings realms and making use of modern technology to share information with the world. Digital cameras, cell phones and computer processing is enabling many to visually demonstrate the presence of nature beings, especially as they carve their images into trees, rocks, vegetation, earth, water and clouds.

Thanks to social media, this widely dispersed community of visual explorers is finding each other, and is coming together to share and teach others. I invite you to explore my website, atalatoy.com, which documents some of my own explorations and includes a gallery featuring others also doing this work. Please join us at my private Facebook Group, Nature Beings Around the World, where you can be part of the everyday explorations and findings of a growing community of interdimensional explorers, documentarians and environmental advocates. We’ll show you how we talk with a faery!
