Today I was shown a place much further away. I asked for a general location and heard ‘Pine Barrens’. I saw some sort of abandoned site and the immediate feeling was awful - deeply toxic. Everything felt dead, discarded, depleted. I could sense many different kinds of pollutants. It seemed to be some kind of an abandoned dump, and at first, I thought perhaps it was the site that Tom talks about in one of his books (I believe it is in The Tracker) where he faced a pack wild of dogs. I was shown it was similar, and not very far away, but not that specific site. 

As I began to send healing in the same ways as before, at first it was too weak, and doing little to nothing in the face of the level of toxicity. I focused harder, empowered more, and asked the healing light to come in much, much stronger, and in greater quantities. It was very much a feeling of rolling up my sleeves and digging in. The healing light flowed into the site for what felt like a long time, as if gathering capacity, nothing outward seeming to happen. Then, a shift. The pale, sandy soil at the entire site started to swirl, slowly at first, then gathering speed into a huge vortex moving downwards deep into the earth. The vortex took everything with it, swallowing all human objects as well as dead tree stumps, boulders, low bushes, everything, until it had all been completely swallowed and then it stopped. All that remained on the surface was a flat, pale cream-colored sandy clearing, and a feeling of deep quiet and stillness. Then, another shift.

The clearing shimmered, went hazy, and transformed into a small, pristine lake, with healthy trees and vegetation up to the banks. A gentle breeze was ruffling the surface of the water and a great sense of peace, balance, and gentle aliveness filled the space. Smells of aquatic life, and verdant growth filled the air and I could not see any people, but sensed that this place had become a beloved destination for locals seeking quiet, peaceful time in nature, a place of respite and solace. As I looked out across the water to the far shore, a very large dark bird of prey flew into my field of vision from high off to my right. It moved down towards the water’s surface in one seamless glide, talons extended, scooped up a fish, beat its huge wings several times and flew up and away to the left of my field of vision. I believe it was a golden eagle. I knew in that moment that the site had fully regenerated and was truly healthy now. I was deeply moved. 

Location Notes

As soon as the healing had ended and I was no longer in Temples, I went to my computer, asking to be shown and sensing the location, or approximate location of the site. Using Tracker Philosophy and other skills, I was shown a wide area at first, northwest of the Tracker School camp and just north of an area named the Brendan T. Byrne state forest. Further sensing led me specifically to a place called Pemberton Township (see map below). From there, I began researching any information on toxic sites in that area and found several, listed below. Sure enough, I found the site I was guided to heal. It was the Fort Dix Military Reservation landfill site, which was in operation from 1950 to 1984.  

Fort Dix

Fort Dix (formerly a U.S Army base), encompasses approximately 33,000 acres, all of which are located above a Class1-A aquifer that provides potable water for a large area of Central New Jersey. The NPL Site is confined to the 126-acre Fort Dix Landfill which operated as a sanitary landfill from 1950 until 1984. Access to the landfill was not controlled until 1980; therefore records of disposal practices and waste types are incomplete. EPA Superfund Clean Up Site - Fort Dix
