What are your thoughts about this article?

It discusses the mechanics of the subconscious mind, dreams etc.

What are your thoughts about your ascension process? Have you reached Layer 4 as mentioned here https://www.nonsymbolic.org/the-life-layer-existence-itself/

If so, (or if not yet) what are your experiences?

Layer 4 is also the singularity level that Aaron Abke discusses here. My perspective is the singlarity level is the abandonment/surrender of the soul/atman ("the witness/silent observer") as the guide in favor of the existence of All That Is. The end of individuality. The end of the Self.

Hello my beloved Lightworkers,

Here are some of the plans I have for 2023. 

Let's start first with the background.

During 2006-2012 I had an awakening experience, published 45 Free Reiki Attunements, 36 Free Reiki Attunements, 28 Powerful Attunements, Eternal Spirit, The Ascension Rays, Alpha Omega Healing Session and the Earth Gate. I also launched the City of Shamballa Social Network in 2009. In 2012, the City of Shamballa trademark was approved to keep the website online and reach the world with Light. 

Between my books, videos, and the City of Shamballa I'll estimate that I impacted 100,000 lives for the better, helping humanity find the Divine within and helping to spread the Light. I even made it into the book Llewellyn's Complete Book of Reiki. I'm eternally grateful to my masters Steve Murray, Stephen Lovering, Ole Gabrielsen, Kathy McConnell, Tami MacDowell, and many others for teaching me Reiki. I'm also eternally grateful to AMBA for her attunements, and many many others who have contributed attunements over the years. I'm eternally grateful to Esta Lior, Lu, George, Marius, Blane Hoffman, Sebastian Bota, Dr. Sohini Shukla, Tercy Lonan, Steven Hutchinson, and Mary Keating for all of the positive support and words of encouragement throughout the years. I'm also grateful to Alain, who I miss, for spreading the Light. Thank you to all of the translators of my books in the past. I'm indebted to all of you. 

In 2013 I entered the crucifixion phase, which I believe was designed to burn off any arrears of karma. If you read about my past life, I stole money from the king to give to my family. My karma was to lose money and lose my family. 

During 2013-2022 I went through a series of hardships which included divorce, loss of family members, and financial struggles. In 2022 I pulled most of my books from distribution at the request of a third party, which devastated me from losing 10 years of my work, but helped me further understand the law of free will. I discuss the struggles in my book The Path of Oneness. I know I am being prepared for a mission in the Higher Realms, and the rest of my time on Earth is the Path of Earth Service prior to moving into the Path of Sirius as a Lightbody. I'm confident I will reconnect with other masters such as Dr. Joshua David Stone and Christoffer. 

Despite the struggles trying to dim my Light, I refuse to give up and continue to follow my dreams of spreading Light around the world. If you look at my Gene Keys profile, there are 4 Gene Keys (Gene Keys 16, 9, 37, and 40) that center around God's Grace (Gene Key 22). My purpose in life has to been to align my life with my Higher Self's mission in order to receive God's Grace (and help others receive God's Grace), and express the traits of versatility (be an author, video producer, and website manager etc.), perseverance (never give up), tenderness/compassion toward all beings, and resolve (have faith- never give up- use my energy wisely for a purpose). 

So you may ask, what is new? What do I have planned?

As you are aware, the City of Shamballa has been upgraded to a new mobile friendly platform. In 2022 I published approximately 20 ebooks with various attunements in them. The links in the new books match the new website's links. Hoping this brings more people to the platform.

I've been locked out of my Facebook account since November 2022 (a test of my resolve and perseverance) but I'm sure I will get access again in 2023. I plan to make photos with wisdom and reference the City of Shamballa bringing people to the website and then sharing them everywhere. 

I estimate by January 2023 that the City of Shamballa trademark will be renewed. 

The next phase is to re-publish the books 28 Powerful Reiki Attunements and Eternal Spirit without the third party's content. Also planned are videos such as Medicine Buddha's Death Dying Purification Ritual, an Abundance Prayer, Djwhal Khul's meditations, the new COS website overview video, a Live Essene Healing Session, and more wisdom videos. I continue to be a volunteer healer at the Distant Healing Network. 

I'll continue to contribute to lifting others up on Earth as long as I can, and follow the manifestation of my Higher Self on Earth. It is with great hope that I have impacted the world for the better.

I'm eternally grateful to all of you and may God bless all of you on your journeys.

All my love,

Chris

In 2009, I learned about the Unified Chakra Meditation. It is a powerful tool to accelerate your Lightbody integration and ascension or awakening process.

The Unified Chakra meditation below is adapted from the book What Is Lightbody? by Tashira Tashi-Ren.

This technique is based upon the original Unified Chakra from Angelic Outreach. This technique is brought to us by Archangel Ariel and was channelled by Tashira Tashi-Ren.

It supports your mutation at every level. The Unified Chakra creates a bubble of Light that allows you to handle vaster and vaster frequencies, and acts like a force field. It helps screen out other people's pictures of reality. Most of people walk around in other peoples' energies. The main thing is to get in your body and figure out what your energy is as distinct from other people's energies.

It is suggested you do the Unified Chakra meditation every time that you notice your attention is in the past or the future. At first that will seem like an incredible task, but if you do it with discipline, you will find that within two weeks you will unify instantly. By the end of four to five weeks, you won't step out of the merge. Unlike a lot of meditations, you do not leave your body; you stay conscious. It is an altered state, but it is one that you can live in.

Let's begin the Meditation.

(Above my head)

And my feet

In one unified field of Light

Within, through and around my body

I allow the I AM Oversoul to merge

With the unified field. I AM a unity of Light.

I breathe in Light

Through the center of my heart,

Allowing the Light to expand

Encompassing my fourteenth chakra

(Above my head)

And to below my feet

In one unified field of Light

Within, through and around my body

I allow the Source's Presence to move

Throughout the unified field.

I AM a unity of Light.

I breathe in Light

Through the center of my heart,

I ask that the highest level of my Spirit

Radiate forth from the center of my heart,

Filling this unified field completely.

I radiate forth throughout this day.

I AM a unity of Spirit.

I AM a unity of Light.

And So it is. Amen.

The Unified Chakra Meditation

• is designed to train your chakras to stay open and connected multi-dimensionally

• The Unified Chakra creates a bubble of Light that allows you to handle vaster and vaster frequencies, and acts like a force field. When all your energies are aligned and connected, it is much easier to live Heaven on Earth.

• It also helps to screen out other people’s pictures of reality.

• By practicing the Unified Chakra regularly, you will train the different parts of yourself to merge, making you more present and able to follow your Spirit with each breath and each step. It takes 2 to 3 weeks of regular practice for this to start occurring.

• It is best done in a sitting position with the seven body chakras aligned vertically.

• It is suggested you do it daily.

• Unlike most meditations, you do not leave your body; you stay conscious. It is an altered state but it is one that you can live in.

• It is sometimes helpful when first using it, to record it, and play it, when learning until you get more familiar with the process.

• It is also important to feel what is going on in your fields. This is not a visualization technique. As you progress in the meditation, you will feel your consciousness expanding as the Higher parts of you connect into your personality.

Please comment below about your own experiences with this Meditation. I would love to hear from you.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all that you do. I appreciate all of you. I love you all. God bless you all.  In Loving Service. Namaste.

This Huna Prayer is from the Original Huna Prayer by Djwhal Khul through guidance from Archangel Michael to relate to today’s high vibrational frequencies. Rewritten by Carolyn Ann Oriley.

My Creator, I AM asking and humbly praying with all my heart, soul, mind and intent for divine abundance manifesting through my personal fortune and success. I AM manifesting, receiving, accepting and allowing my divine abundance to completely permeate all parts of my beingness on all levels, dimensions and aspects.

I AM grateful to you, my Father, for this blessed prosperity.
I AM open and receiving my financial wealth, success, bounty, abundance, blessings, gifts and grace. I AM fulfilling my service commitments.

I AM accepting my diving heritage right now and thank you, MY Creator, for the timely answer to this prayer. I AM so very grateful for the divine bounty. MY Father, Your Will is done through me.
And so it is. Amen. (Repeat three times)

My beloved subconscious mind, I AM hereby lovingly decreeing, commanding and acknowledging that this prayer be heard directly by my beloved Father, and it is sent along with all the prana and vital force asking, manifesting and demonstrating my intent in this prayer.
Amen. And so it is.

By Ruth King

At this momentous time in our nation’s history, “equanimity” probably does not describe what most of us are striving for right now. On the contrary, many of us are striving for justice, for healing—some of us, for survival. Is the peace and balance of meditation taking us in the wrong direction?

Not in my understanding. In my experience, equanimity has great power—especially at times like these.

When I reflect on the power of equanimity, I think of those times when we see beyond judgment and self-interest and realize that we are choosing instead of reacting; those times when the pain of injustice is held in our hearts, while the mind is still, steady, and clear; those times when we make small choices that show great care and influence social balance. This is the power of equanimity.

We might begin to understand this power using nature as a metaphor. For example, equanimity can feel internally like a great mountain, with the mind solid and stable, undisturbed by the changing seasons. Or it can be like the ocean, with the mind vast, deep, and immeasurable, undisturbed by whatever swims, floats, or is housed in its waters. Equanimity can be like a strong fire — roaring, engulfing, and transmuting, undisturbed by whatever is thrown into it. Or like immense space — open, allowing, and receiving, undisturbed by the objects that arise and pass away.

As we walk through the coming week, we may want to call on the strength of these elemental inner resources for balance and equipoise. For example, there are times when we will need to stand our ground, strong like a mountain, and observe what emerges, or we may need to add a spark of fiery truth to a situation. Other times, we may need to open and allow more space around the tightness of our worries, or let go and be held by an ocean of love.

In all of these forms, equanimity is awareness so spacious that whatever arises in our mind and heart, whether agreeable or disagreeable, is small and incidental compared to awareness itself. In other words, when we are equanimous, nothing is left out of heart’s view.

Equanimity enables us to know the energetic movements of mind without reactivity. It is an experience of grounded presence in the midst of extremes, when the mind is steady and responsive, and when we can say to ourselves, “This moment is like this, and it doesn’t have to be different right now. I can allow what is here and offer what is needed.”

Imagine the power of this inner resource as we engage with the messy world in which we live.

And yet, equanimity is not something we can force. It’s an experience we come to recognize and nurture through mindfulness practice. Fortunately, even outside of formal meditation, you can orient the heart toward that experience simply by bringing to mind intentions of equanimity. I will give several examples here. My invitation to you is to find two or three that resonate with you, and try them at different times in your day. As you say them to yourself, take time to relax and linger in the goodwill motivating these phrases:

May I bear witness to things just as they are.

May I remain peaceful and let go of fixation.

May I offer care without hesitation, knowing I may be met with gratitude, anger, or resistance.

May I offer care, knowing I don’t control the course of life, suffering, or death.

May I find the inner resources to genuinely contribute where needed.

May I see my limits with compassion, just as I see the limits of others.

I care about the pain of others, yet I cannot control it.

I care for all beings, but my way is not the only way. All beings have their own journey, and I have mine.

May I be free from preference and prejudice.

May I see the world with quiet eyes.

From the website http://www.SubtleAnatomy.com

There exists 3 levels of Consciousness (Buddhic, Atmic, Monadic) that bridge the Individual with the Collective Whole.

A description of them is at the link below.

http://www.subtleanatomy.com/Buddhic%20body.htm ~ Divine Love/Unity (The Baptism Initiation is the first experience of the Buddhic Plane, see Gene Key 22.)

As One reaches the Buddhic plane of Consciousness, Oneness is Experienced 

"As a being, standing in the sun, suffused with its light, and pouring it forth, would feel no difference between ray and ray, but would pour forth along one as readily and easily as along another, so does one on the buddhic plane feel brotherhood (or sisterhood) and pours themself into any one who needs their help. One sees all beings as themself, and feels that all one has is another's as much as one's: in many cases, more another's than one's, because their need is greater, their strength being less."

~ Arthur E. Powell

http://www.subtleanatomy.com/Atmic%20body.htm ~ Divine Wisdom/Mind/Christ Consciousness

http://www.subtleanatomy.com/Monadic%20body.htm ~ Divine Will/Oversoul

Also a description of Major Chakras and minor Chakras: http://www.subtleanatomy.com/Chakras.htm

These Chakra areas are where you might feel Light Activations...

"Trust in the many invisible arms that hold each one of you, that carry and comfort you, and know that not ever do you walk alone, for we are All One, and we are with you always, in all ways. And may all that your heart and soul desire and require to manifest a fulfilling life for you – one that is in perfect alignment with the higher plan of your soul and that of Mother Earth – manifest under grace, in perfect, harmonious and miraculous ways. And may this manifest through the abundant sources through which Mother/Father God provide. May all always be well in your world."

~ The Ascended Masters

Greetings in the Love and Light of our Creator. Peace and Love to all of you.

Today's lesson is on The Path of Surrender. My goal is to be of Service to the Whole. To be Love in Alignment with Free Will. If this lesson resonates with you then great, if not then let it fall away. This is my perspective. We are all slices of the same truth, so I am open to your perspectives as well. Only when all sense of self is merged into the whole can we realize the truth. My name is Chris or Christopher, which means the Christ Bearer so this lesson for you is part of my purpose.

Please like this video and subscribe to this channel. Share this video with others to help them understand their own process. We are all equal Sparks on the path to the Creator so let us lift each other up.

According to Richard Rudd's book The Gene Keys Embracing Your Higher Purpose, Gene Key 43 explains the Ascension or Awakening process eloquently. The Process is Survival then Service then Surrender. Let's estimate that each phase of life is 30 years, but it is unique to each person. So approximately 30 years spent in Survival followed by 30 years spent in Service followed by 30 years spent in Surrender. Only God knows how long each process takes or where you are at but this is a general guideline to paint a picture for you. Honestly I'm starting to believe that younger generations take less time in each phase, as the Planet's vibration lifts more into Love as we move closer to the Great Central Sun in the Universe. An example of a younger generation would be the Crystal children.

So let's talk about the Survival phase. Survival is full 3D.  3D is designed to allow us to make free will choices for polarity. At first your purpose is Survival. The Survival phase in living in the shadows as discussed in Richard Rudd's Gene Keys. Survival phase examples are "How do I get enough to eat/drink, where is my shelter, will I have enough money?" etc. etc. The vast majority of humanity is in this phase, but changes are happening behind the scenes lifting humanity to the next phase. During this phase of Survival humanity indulges in physical, emotional and mental addictions. It is the avoidance of pain and the acceptance of pleasure. This phase has the ego in full bloom. The Survival phase is fear based. The survival phase is absorbed in negativity. The Survival phase is also all about the Selfish "I". In my survival phase I enjoyed the pleasures of the senses, which led to more suffering. I ended up nearly dying 3 times. During the survival phase, spirit is not understood. The losses and pain were wake up calls to enter the next phase. There had to be more to life than just suffering. That is when ignorance is removed, and awareness begins. In the next phase spirit starts being understood.

The next phase of Awakening is Service. Service is 4D and 5D. Many Lightworkers are in this phase. The Service phase leads to the Gifts as discussed in Richard Rudd's Gene Keys. Service is embracing the shadows, taking responsibility for your actions and unlocking the Gifts. The Service phase starts when you Open your Heart then re-connect with your Soul, and you ask "What is my Purpose? My Purpose must be more than chasing money and basic needs." Your Soul will resonate back to you and guide you to your Purpose. Once we enter into the service phase we begin to choose jobs and volunteer work that aligns with our purpose. Also, there are many techniques to connect to your Soul. It is my perspective that Reiki Healing and other types of energy healing, Mantras and prayers, as well as Silent Meditation, connect you to your Soul. Simply being in Service to Others to make Others happy will reconnect you to your Soul. You may get more psychic and start reading thoughts and feelings. You are more intuitive following intuition over what the mind thinks. You start to learn what you do to others is done to you, that the inner and outer are connected. You also start to learn that others are connected to you. The Service phase is the movement from Service to Self to Service to Others. The negative polarity never enters the Service to Others phase because it involves the opening of the Heart.

In the Service phase, humanity is tired of indulgence and selfishness and finds satisfaction in love to others. Service is work that feels good to the person, but there is still some separation between service and God in the person's consciousness. The Service phase is the gradual merging of the human personality with the Soul. The Involution of God's Grace meets resonance with the evolution of Humanity searching for freedom. The Service phase begins the Path of Initiation. Richard Rudd talks about the initiations in Gene Key 22. Also Charles Leadbetter talks about it in the Masters and the Path. The Path is also found in Initiation - The Perfecting of Man by Annie Besant. You can read about the initiations at https://www.thepranichealers.com/initiation

During the Service phase the person moves into refining purity in the thoughts, feelings and body. Service is when the individual begins forgiving. The individual asks for forgiveness. Service is when gratitude is embraced. Gratitude leads to Satisfaction which leads to Peace. Service is the movement of the person's entire being into Service of the Whole. The questions at this phase are "Why does evil exist? Why is there so much suffering? What is God? What is Spirit? What is my purpose?" As refinement and connection to love gradually happens, then love filters through the person's being. That love vibration allows the higher Buddhic, Atmic, and Monadic bodies to descend and merge with the human personality. The Buddhic body (Divine Heart) is the body of Oneness/Love/Compassionate action, the Atmic body (Divine mind) is the body of Christ Consciousness, and the Monadic Body is The Oversoul/Group Soul and the body of Divine Will. The Monadic body is Oneness with God. At this point in the phase, the person begins to release the 10 Fetters as talked about in Buddhism and follows Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path. The person lives and breathes Spirit in daily life. Spirit overtakes the person's life. The connection with God and the Ascended Masters, Angels and other beings is stronger. The person begins absorbing spiritual wisdom at a rapid pace. I will leave some wisdom books for recommended reading down below. As a result of all of the work in the Service stage, Oneness is experienced. Oneness is a result of God's Grace. Duality is removed, the tree of knowledge of good and evil (duality) is uprooted, and the tree of life appears. Good and Evil are seen as expressions, sides of the same coin, as well as pleasure and pain. They are choices that show contrast to each other. They are God's Will and part of the 3rd density we live in, which has the purpose for us to choose our polarity. Eventually Service work and worship/devotion to God become one in the same. All life's experiences are seen as opportunities and then are seen as sacred. Doing good works on Earth are all that matter in the Service and Surrender phases. During these phases all individual needs are surrendered for the needs of the whole. The person still has self-worth and keeps healthy boundaries but endeavors to be love in all actions. Empathy and compassion improves at this stage. This phase leads to becoming like a child, in awe of God's Grace and Beauty.

The Service Stage leads to the Surrender Stage. Surrender is 5D and 6D. Surrender is the oneness with Spirit. Surrender is the Oneness with God. In this stage, only God exists and all is God. There is nothing else. Only God. The grip of the mind on the human is released at this stage. Past and Future are released, and only Mindfulness- Being in the present happens. Only working from the heart exists. There is no judgment anymore or negative thoughts or feelings. The Surrender stage leads to the Siddhi's as discussed in Richard Rudd's The Gene Keys. The Surrender stage starts with total Oneness with all of Creation. Unconditional Love for all beings. Love in alignment with the free will of each. This stage is the Surrender of the individual self for the Greater self. The merger of the human personality with the Higher Greater Self. The surrender of the Soul (which was the bridge of the human to God), and to merge completely with God. There is no individual "I" anymore. Everything in life is done for the Greater Good. Everything is done to please God. Have no desire but the Desire for God. You can desire to make others happy, for that in the end God is pleased, since we are all one. If you want an example of the surrender stage, I invite you to read the book Mother Teresa, Come be My Light, the Private Writings of the Saint of Calcutta. In her prayers and letters you can feel the surrender. Another book about Surrender is St. Francis of Assisi's biography. Or simply read all 64 Gene Keys in the Gene Keys Embracing your higher purpose by Richard Rudd. In the final act of surrender of all individual needs, desires and wants, the vessel becomes emptied. The surrender of the individual self. It involves complete humility, complete loss of the self. In a paradox, the vessel then becomes filled with God's presence. The buddhic, atmic, and monad bodies combine fully with the human, but the human personality is driven to follow only God's Will. Remember The Buddhic body (Divine Heart) is the body of Oneness/Love/Compassionate action, the Atmic body (Divine mind) is the body of Christ Consciousness, and the Monadic Body is The Oversoul/Group Soul and the body of Divine Will. In the stage of surrender the human becomes Divine. If there is no human left in the vessel, only Divinity exists. Only God is this instrument and this instrument is only God. At this point all existence, all creation is realized to be part of the body of God. Creation is cells in the body of God. Therefore, literally what you do to another is done to yourself because all of Creation is seen as connected with God's Love and Light. The human personality has become the Adam Kadmon, the perfected human. The Divine human now sees with God's eyes, hears with God's ears, talks with God's voice,thinks with God's consciousness, and uses God's hands. The human vessel is now God's Instrument. Only God is present, as the human mind, emotions and body were sacrificed and surrendered in favor of God. All of life is seen as connected with a stream of Eternal Light. All creation is seen as sparks of God. Serving another spark of God, is serving God because you are a spark of God. That's why Mother Teresa says, I am only the Instrument, all Glory be to God. This is in fact truth at the surrender stage. Not my will but Thy Will. God's Will be done. The surrender phase is the dawning of the Christ in each of us. The Christ Consciousness. Jesus said I AM THE WAY, I AM THE LIFE. This is because God was working through Jesus and God IS THE WAY AND GOD IS THE LIFE. Once the surrender phase is completed the Ascension process on Earth is completed. This would be the Communion or 6th stage of Ascension. The surrender phase is freedom of the Law of Karma as the individual was sacrificed for the Greater Glory of God. God has no karma so former being is replaced with a Divine being free of karma. The soul is absorbed into the Monad or Oversoul. At the conclusion of the surrender phase, the being is harvested as the Law of One discusses, which is that the being has achieved Greater than 50% Service to Others to be harvested into Eternal Life.

That is my understanding of the 3 phases that culminate in enlightenment. Today's lesson was about The Path of Surrender. My goal is to be of Service to the Whole. To be Love in Alignment with Free Will. If this lesson resonated with you then great, if not then let it fall away.

Who has ears, let them hear. The Divine in me honors the Divine in you. Shine on my brothers and sisters. Wishing God's Grace upon all of you. God's Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Praise the Lord our God on High! Kodoish Kodoish Kodoish Adonai Tsebayoth! God bless you. Namaste my brothers and sisters.

"As a being, standing in the sun, suffused with its light, and pouring it forth, would feel no difference between ray and ray, but would pour forth along one as readily and easily as along another, so does one on the buddhic plane feel brotherhood (or sisterhood) and pours themself into any one who needs their help. One sees all beings as themself, and feels that all one has is another's as much as one's: in many cases, more another's than one's, because their need is greater, their strength being less." ~ Arthur E. Powell

"Think, not what you want to do, but what you can do that will help someone else; forget about yourself, and consider others. A pupil must be consistently kind, obliging, helpful—not now and then, but all the time." (The Masters and the Path, p. 80) ~ The Master Kuthumi

Forty-one and forty-three qualities[edit]

A sutta found in The Senior Collection of Gandhāran Buddhist texts ascribes forty one instead of thirty seven beneficial dharmas.^[8] The Gandharan text includes rūpajhānas which the Pali tradition does not.^[8] Salomon notes this forty one numbered list appears in both a Chinese translation of the Dirghagama which current scholarship believes to be of the Dharmaguptaka school of Buddhism and a Chinese translation of the Dharmaguptaka vinaya.^[8]

In the Pali Canon's Nettipakaraṇa (Netti 112) forty-three qualities connected with awakening (tecattālīsa bodhipakkhiyā dhammā) are mentioned which, according to the commentaries, include the aforementioned thirty-seven plus the following 6 contemplations (also found in the suttas, e.g. Saṅgīti Sutta D iii 251)

• The contemplation of the three marks of existence:

1. impermanence (aniccasaññā)
2. suffering (dukkhasaññā)
3. non-self (anattasaññā)

• abandoning (pahānasaññā)
• dispassion (virāgasaññā)
• cessation (nirodhasaññā)

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhipakkhiy%C4%81dhamm%C4%81

Also I recommend reading The Gene Keys: Embracing your higher purpose by Richard Rudd which contains 64 Siddhi qualities of enlightenment. 

The eight Buddhist practices in the Noble Eightfold Path are:

1. Right View: our actions have consequences, death is not the end, and our actions and beliefs have consequences after death. The Buddha followed and taught a successful path out of this world and the other world (heaven and underworld/hell). Later on, right view came to explicitly include karma and rebirth, and the importance of the Four Noble Truths, when "insight" became central to Buddhist soteriology.
2. Right Resolve or Intention: the giving up of home and adopting the life of a religious mendicant in order to follow the path; this concept aims at peaceful renunciation, into an environment of non-sensuality, non-ill-will (to loving kindness), away from cruelty (to compassion).^[25] Such an environment aids contemplation of impermanence, suffering, and non-Self.^[25]
3. Right Speech: no lying, no rude speech, no telling one person what another says about him to cause discord or harm their relationship.^[26]
4. Right Conduct or Action: no killing or injuring, no taking what is not given, no sexual misconduct, no material desires.
5. Right Livelihood: no trading in weapons, living beings, meat, liquor, and poisons.
6. Right Effort: preventing the arising of unwholesome states, and generating wholesome states, the bojjhagā (Seven Factors of Awakening). This includes indriya-samvara, "guarding the sense-doors", restraint of the sense faculties.^[27][25]
7. Right Mindfulness (sati; Satipatthana; Sampajañña): a quality that guards or watches over the mind;^[28] the stronger it becomes, the weaker unwholesome states of mind become, weakening their power "to take over and dominate thought, word and deed."^{[29][note 2]} In the vipassana movement, sati is interpreted as "bare attention": never be absent minded, being conscious of what one is doing; this encourages the awareness of the impermanence of body, feeling and mind, as well as to experience the five aggregates (skandhas), the five hindrances, the four True Realities and seven factors of awakening.^[25]
8. Right samadhi (passaddhi; ekaggata; sampasadana): practicing four stages of dhyāna ("meditation"), which includes samadhi proper in the second stage, and reinforces the development of the bojjhagā, culminating into upekkha (equanimity) and mindfulness.^[31] In the Theravada tradition and the vipassana movement, this is interpreted as ekaggata, concentration or one-pointedness of the mind, and supplemented with vipassana meditation, which aims at insight.

Wanted to keep you all informed about my plans.

First of all, I love all of you and love the content here. I love the continued posting by Steven, the continued postings of attunements, and other content being added. I love seeing the love behind all of the content here.

Right now, I'm waiting on another 10 year renewal of the City of Shamballa trademark, this keeps the website going online without issues. In order to do that I have to show proof of the trademark being used in business, so I am keeping as is for right now. This should happen this month of September.

Once the trademark is renewed in the system, these are my plans.

I love the content here and the energy, but the website appearance needs an upgrade. The colors/images/design are fine but the width is somewhat narrow. Also text is sometimes bunched together. Also the website is not mobile friendly. In 2015, Google rolled out an algorithm that indexed mobile friendly web pages more highly. Even though I secured the domain name city of shamballa and have text references to the city of shamballa on the site, as well as the website being viewable by search bots, the network is still ranked 15-20 on the search results when it should be within the top 10.

I am strongly considering upgrading to Ning 3.0 hosting sometime this fall or winter. Under Ning 2.0 hosting I am unable to change the width, specifically the html viewport code necessary to view the website on mobile devices and widen the width. Ashtarcommandcrew.net is an example of Ning 3.0. Notice how wide the website is compared to the City of Shamballa. The cost will be 30% more a month for hosting under Ning 3.0, which I plan to pay through book sales, city of shamballa donations and city of shamballa premium access subscriptions. My whole goal in life is to be of service to the whole, and I want this website to continue to be of service to all people, and continue to attract more love and light from sources worldwide. 

In September I plan on approving the proof copies of my paperback and hardcover Path of Oneness books and then they will be on Amazon etc. by October. 

Also I am increasing my You Tube videos to draw a larger group of people here. The books and the videos should draw an audience as well as increasing the search ranking. My future Youtube videos include the topics of mindfulness, opportunities/lessons/non-resistance, universal love/onenesss, divine will/surrender/desirelessness, polarity and choices, and love in alignment with free will despite the catalyst. I also might do a video on the Divine Laws mentioned here on the website. 

Also started cross posting my content on Ashtarcommandcrew.net to hopefully bring more people here. 

This is all a test of my Gene Keys versatility/mastery and determination/invincibility and resolve/divine will and tenderness/equality. 

In the end, I wish to do God's Will and I will go with the flow to be of the greatest service I can be to humanity. I wish to be love to all of you and continue to be in Loving Service to all of you.

Thank you all of you for your continued service to humanity via your contributions here. None of this would be possible without each of you.

I would love to hear your perspectives about this process. What is good here, what needs improvement etc? What are your thoughts?

In Love and Light,

Chris
