AWE - Invitation to SEEK COTUU

By Will and Jack Barber

November 2010

Spontaneous Spelling - SEEK COTUU

As our AWE-related spiritual roddings progressed, Will received an amazingly unexpected rod-spelling:
S E E K
The rods then paused and moved through a combination of letter positions:
C (or) O
C (or) O [repeated]
H (or) T
I (or) U
I (or) U [repeated]
No recognizable word was discernable from these five letters.
The rods next moved to and stopped pointing forward up the Castle Valley.
Sensing that S E E K and the foward position were in some way associated with the second meadow:
Q. Are we to go to the second meadow to seek something?
R. Yes.
Q. Both Jack and me (Will)?
R. Yes.
Q. May Malia go with us?
R. Yes.
Q. May others go with us?
R. Yes.
Q. Are we to take our rods with us?
R. Yes.
Q. Both of us?
R. Yes.
Q. Are we to locate something in particular while there?
R. Yes.
Q. Using our rods to locate this something?
R. Yes.

Q. Is it a physical thing?
R. Yes.
Q. Is it something that is specially associated with you, AWE?
R. Yes.

R. No.
Q. Will its presence here at the cabin in some way enhance our conscious connection with your spirit?
R. Yes.
Q. Was the spelling that was not understandable a spelling of your Indian word for what we are to locate?
R. Yes.
Q. Is the first letter of this word C?
R. Yes.
Q. Is the first letter O?
R. No.
Continuing with the rule-in-and-rule-out approach, the five letters were confirmed to be: C O T U U
Q. Is COTUU your Indian word for what we are to locate?
R. Yes.
Q. Is this reliable information?
R. Yes.
Q. May I appropriately ask for a confirming spelling with respect to all of this?
R. Yes.
Both rods then moved in sync to spell simultaneously:
S E E K C O T U U

What Is COTUU?

The rods then moved and stopped at these letter positions with interspersed rule-in-and-rule-out questions:

Q. Is this letter F?
R. No.

More Than a Rock

Will and Jack shared these "awe"-some spiritual rodding experiences with their friend who had previously told them of his connection and communication with an ancient Indian spirit. Insightfully, he suggested in substance to Will and Jack that the verb SEEK may well have a spiritual connotation, and that the COTUU to be sought may refer to a "state" instead of a physical object. Out of not only many years of the highest regard for this friend and his spiritual rodding experiences, but also how this suggestion spiritually resonated with them, Will and Jack pursued this possibility through additional rodding. Contemporaneously with this rodding, Through a kind of symbiotic spiritual rodding between holonic allness and AWE II engagements, these questions and responses emerged:
Q. AWE, is COTUU a physical object?
R. Yes.
Q. Is COTUU a state?
R. Yes.
Q. Of being?
R. Yes.
Q. Is COTUU both a physical object and a state of being?
R. Yes.
Q. So, the COTUU part of your message to Jack and me (Will) has a dual meaning?
R. Yes.
Q. With full honor in all respects may I (Will) request a confirming spelling concerning this?
Without moving to a "Yes" or "No" position, the right rod spelled:
C O T U U I S B O T H A S T A T E A N D A R O C K
Q. AWE, do you associate the COTUU rock that is to be sought with a COTUU state of being experienced by you
and others?
R. Yes.

Mindful that Will's friend-colleague, who is an adopted member of the Lakota Tribe of the Sioux Nation, had informed him that there is a tradition in some Indian cultures under certain circumstances to "gift" someone with something valued by the giver, Will asked:
Q. Is AWE gifting to Jack and me (Will) and our families his COTUU rock and associated COTUU state of being?
R. Yes.
Q. Is this COTUU state of being wholly positive and good?
R. Yes.
Q. Any associated negative or evil?
R. No.
Q. Do we or our families have anything to fear relative to this COTUU state of being?
R. No.
Q. Or anything to be concerned about relative to this COTUU state of being?
R. No.
Q. Am I (Will) to seek a COTUU state of being for myself?
R. Yes.
Q. As a part of Holonic Allness?
R. Yes.
Q. While I (Will) am humanly alive?
R. Yes.
Q. And on behalf of Pat and our family?
R. Yes.
Q. As a part of Holonic Allness?
R. Yes.
Q. And with my understanding of the All of All?
R. Yes.
Q. As a part of Holonic Allness?
R. Yes.
Q. Am I (Will) to seek this COTUU state of being as an integrated part of Holonic Allness?
R. Yes.
Q. And may Jack do the same for himself and on behalf of Malia and their family?
R. Yes.
