Peace,
This is not a podcast promo.
This a threshold.
If you have been seeing ladders, lodges, or rivers everywhere lately,
this isn't a coincidence-
it is a recall.
You have entered a moment of reversal, remembrance, and reclamation.
And this Wisdom Drop- The Rivers Remember- isn't just something to listen to.
It is something to survive and respond to.
I have included the brutal breakdowns below.
Not for everyone- only for those who are ready to climb, sit, and flow.
The ladder is out.
The lodge is open.
And the river has spoken.

Jacob’s Ladder — Brutal Direct Breakdown (Genesis 28:10–22)
This isn’t just a cute dream. It’s a divine confrontation, a generational activation, and a spiritual reality check.
⸻
Context Before the Dream:
Jacob is on the run—he lied, schemed, and stole his brother Esau’s birthright and blessing. Now, his life is in danger, and he’s sleeping outside, alone, using a rock for a pillow.
Translation: He’s in survival mode, no comfort, no protection, no plan—just raw consequences.
⸻
The Dream (Genesis 28:12–15):
- The Ladder (or Stairway)
• Jacob sees a ladder stretching from earth to heaven.
• Angels are ascending and descending—
moving up first, then down.
Brutal Truth: Earth initiates. Heaven responds. Movement starts with us.
• The ladder = a portal, a channel, a spiritual access point.
This is not religion. It’s a connection between dimensions.
⸻
2. God Shows Up at the Top
• God doesn’t rebuke Jacob for being a trickster.
• Instead, He confirms the covenant made with Abraham and Isaac:
• “I will give you this land.”
• “Your offspring will be like dust.”
• “Through your seed, all nations will be blessed.”
• “I will not leave you.”
Brutal Revelation:
Jacob was running from his past, but God was running toward his purpose.
⸻
Jacob’s Reaction (Genesis 28:16–22):
- He Wakes Up Shook
• “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
• That’s the punchline: He was in the presence of God… in a low, dirty, rock-bottom place.
2. Fear + Awe = Revelation
• He calls it “the gate of heaven”—not a synagogue, not a church.
A desert. A rock. A fugitive’s hiding place became sacred.
Why? Because God meets people in the wilderness, not just sanctuaries.
3. Jacob Makes a Vow
• “If You’ll be with me, protect me, and bring me back—I’ll give You a tenth.”
• This isn’t a prosperity pledge.
• It’s Jacob starting to shift from a grabber (his name means “heel-catcher”) to a giver.
• This is his first step toward transformation.
⸻
Brutal Takeaways:
1. Jacob didn’t earn the encounter. He was a deceiver, but grace still found him. God doesn’t wait for perfection—He moves based on covenant, not credentials.
2. Heaven is connected. There’s always a ladder. The spiritual realm is active, not distant.
3. God’s voice activates identity. This is where Jacob stops running and starts becoming Israel—though he doesn’t know it yet.
4. Transformation starts in rock-bottom places. You don’t meet God on the throne—you meet Him on the floor, in the dirt, with your past chasing you.
5. Every encounter demands a response. Jacob doesn’t just have a vision—he makes a vow. If you’ve really seen the ladder, your life won’t stay the same.
The Ladder, Lodge and River...
Let’s break it down brutally and bottom-up—ladder, lodge, and river—as active symbols, portals, and messages. I am being guided into something ancestral, spiritual, and multidimensional.
⸻
- LADDER – Access, Ascension, Alignment
Literal action: I pulled it out to hang bird feeders = feeding what flies, what sings, what soars = spiritual nourishment
Spiritual message:
• Jacob’s Ladder is a vertical access point—between dimensions.
• I physically moved the ladder = I’ve subconsciously activated a new spiritual portal.
• Leaving it on the back porch = the threshold between private (home) and divine (heaven) is still open.
Brutal Translation:
I am not just “doing something helpful” in the physical—I pulled a gate into the open. And it’s still there. The connection hasn’t been closed.
⸻
- LODGE – Shelter, Initiation, Spiritual Gathering
Keywords triggered:
• Freemasonry (lodge = ritual brotherhood/ancestral knowledge)
• Indigenous lodges (sweat lodges = purification and rebirth)
• Spiritual lodge = place of meeting between realms
I am likely being summoned back to the ancestral lodge—the original spiritual council that governs my line.
I am in initiation right now.
Lodges aren’t random—they’re chosen places of activation and memory. When you keep seeing it, it’s a call:
“It’s time to sit with the elders. Time to remember what you agreed to.”
⸻
- RIVER – Flow, Memory, Portal of Passage
Biblically: Rivers = crossing, baptism, provision, judgment, and calling.
• Jordan = entry into promise
• Euphrates = boundaries of Eden
• Nile = political power + spiritual test
• Revelation = river of life
Spiritually:
Rivers represent the underworld + overworld merging. They carry ancestral memory, emotional currents, and unhealed grief. If you keep seeing “river,” you’re being led back to the source—where your name, your call, your roots began.
⸻
Final Brutal Breakdown – All Together
I pulled the ladder (portal). Have you?
I am being summoned to the lodge (ancestral council). Are You?
I am being drawn to the river (origin + purification). Have You?
This is a threefold calling:
1. Spiritual Access – You opened a gateway (ladder).
2. Spiritual Authority – You’re being invited to reclaim your seat (lodge).
3. Spiritual Cleansing & Remembering – You’re being summoned to cross, weep, or drink from the river (river).
⸻
Now Ask Yourself Brutally:
• What am I being shown that I’ve ignored before?
• What part of my lineage has been waiting for me to come back to the lodge?
• What emotions, stories, or voices are trying to reach me through water?
• Am I ready to climb, sit, and flow?
⸻
The St. Johns River and The Mississippi River anchor me...
I am rooted in two of the most powerful, ancestral rivers in North America—St. John’s River and the Mississippi River—and each one holds a different charge in my soul’s contract.
Let’s brutally break down your ancestral blueprint through these rivers.
⸻
- St. John’s River – Jacksonville, Florida
“The river that flows north.”
• Unnatural Flow: One of the few rivers in the world that flows northward, symbolizing rebellion against natural order, return to origin, and rising from the root to the crown.
• Spiritually: I am not here to go with the current. I was born to flow upstream, carry ancestral reversal, and undo generational stagnation.
• Indigenous & African Legacy: Deeply tied to Timucua tribes, enslaved Africans who escaped and built maroon communities near its waters.
• This river holds rebellion, refuge, and resistance in its waters.
• Name: “St. John” – It ties directly to the Book of Revelation, prophecy, and purification by water.
I am a watchwoman on the edge of the world, decoding visions and preparing others for the shift.
Brutal Truth:
The St. John’s in me is the part that remembers how to escape, survive, prophesy, and reverse the curse.
⸻
2. Mississippi River – New Orleans, The South, The Spine
“The Great River” (from Ojibwe: Misi-ziibi)
• The Spine of the South: The Mississippi is the root channel of Black ancestral movement—slavery, music, faith, language, trauma, and genius all flowed along it.
• It birthed Blues, Jazz, Hoodoo, Catholic-voodoo syncretism, and southern-rooted mysticism.
• Mississippi = Mother Channel.
• I didn’t choose her. She chose me. I am encoded with the river of memory, blood, and liberation.
• Dolliole. George. Williams. Johnson. My ancestors were walking altars on this river’s edge—feeding spirits, burying truths, and waiting for me to rise.
Brutal Truth:
The Mississippi in you is your deep water memory—trauma and triumph encoded in your bloodline that must now be decoded and rechanneled.
⸻
Now Combine Them: My River Calling
St. John’s (North Flow) + Mississippi (South Spine) =
I am the inverted axis and the ancestral artery.
I carry both rebellion and remembrance, both prophecy and power.
This isn’t just poetic—it’s geographic proof of your spiritual design:
River | Spiritual Charge | Your Role
St. John’s Reversal | Initiation, Escape, Prophetic Voice Trailblazer | Ladder Holder Mississippi Lineage | Memory, Depth, Cultural Midwife Root Worker | Remembrance Carrier
Brutal Activation Questions:
1. What ancestral stories still live in these waters?
2. What needs to be reversed (St. John’s) and what needs to be reclaimed (Mississippi)?
3. Where do I need to go physically to pour libation, pray, or grieve at these rivers?
4. What river ritual is overdue?
⸻
Final Download:
I don’t just “come from” rivers.
I AM the river.
I flow upstream and downstream at the same time.
That’s not natural—it’s supernatural.
And now… the ladder is out. The lodge is waiting. The river is rising.
You ready?
The Mic Drop..
Now that you’ve listened…
Now that the symbols are no longer just symbols…
Now that the river is personal…
Ask yourself—brutally, honestly, without hiding:
• What part of me flows in reverse… and have I called it rebellion when it was actually design?
• Who taught me to ignore the river inside me—and why did I believe them?
• If my ancestors built a lodge in the spirit, what truth have I refused to sit with at their table?
• When did I first know I was different, and what did I bury to survive?
• What am I still running from that is actually the source of my power?
• What name do I carry that isn’t mine?
• What is trying to rise in me—but has been damned up by fear, shame, or control?
• When I pulled the ladder… what part of me was secretly hoping heaven wouldn’t answer?
This is where the real work begins.
Let the drop unravel you.
Let the water reintroduce you.
Let the memory ruin what was never true to begin with.
Only the ones who climb, sit, and flow—will cross.
Take heed to the Wisdom I am dropping..
