The universe is a friendly place where beings both human and celestial are engaged in implementing a plan of Spirit’s thoughts. Originating in the mind of our Creator is a plan for manifesting life of immense diversity and creative expression. The innate nature of this plan provides a place for humans to collaborate with Spirit in the unfolding of the divine vision. We get an opportunity to partner with God in the development of our external environment; we can build what we manifest here on earth of what we believe and feel when it is aligned with the divine vision. It is in this co-creative dynamic that the very heart of our own self-expression is born—we get to reveal who we are to the universe.

When our beliefs and feelings are aligned in Spirit, when they are in sync with the divine nature of truth, beauty, and goodness, then what we co-create with Spirit is something that fills us with peace, love, joy, and makes living worthwhile and enjoyable for all life—not just for one individual. It allows the evolutionary process to proceed according to the divine plan. We get to participate in our own unfolding, and we benefit directly from this by growing into our divine natures—our higher true “God” selves. Aligning ourselves in the plans (or ways) of Spirit leads us into that glorious undertaking of building the manifestations of Heaven on earth. This is indeed possible. There is a spiritual energy living in each being and the planet itself that connects us to our Creator Source. This connection enables the will of Spirit to be implanted here and it unfolds over the evolutionary course of time. Through this the ways of God are manifested here.

Our part of the co-creative process in the unfolding of the divine plans on earth comes about by making choices during the course of our daily living. Through our thoughts, decisions and actions during the regular course of the day, we either choose to be aligned in the ways of Spirit or we choose not to be. Sometimes our awareness of what we are choosing is conscious and sometimes it is not. When our choices are aligned in Spirit’s ways, then our will is in sync with the divine plan and we bring something of great value to earth. Thus, over time human and planetary life can ascend to divine status to reflect perfection in physical form.

Seeded into our beings is a language of Spirit—the words of LOVE—that is unleashed through our decisions to live in peace, harmony, and love. This language is an invitation to share in the beauty and grandeur contained within the mind of God. It is language: sound, rhythm, vibration and movement that affects us at a cellular level. It invites us into the embrace conjoining two very distinct and different natures to move together. The co-creative partnership we share with God is a dance between human and Spirit, with the divine plans leading and the human will gracefully being led in a rhythm uniting both human and Spirit into Oneness.

Doing the Will of God

Alignment is the key word to consider in co-creation with Spirit. The mind of God overarches the universe, and the universe is the physical domain wherein the plans of God are manifested. The plans contained with the Source of Life reveal themselves in various dimensions of reality when free-will beings make decisions that correspond to those ideas contained within those plans. Aligning in the plans of Spirit is simply to “do God’s will.” Alignment comes from “tuning in” to what your Inner Spirit wishes to convey to you to enable you to make those choices that will lead you to the greatest happiness and fulfillment that you could ever imagine. The ways of Spirit are goodness, beauty, joy, and love.

It is common to think that God wants us to “do” something with our lives. Many times we think of it as a job or calling, or expecting ourselves to conform to a standard of behavior because we think that is what God expects of us. People can sometimes get caught in the maze of thinking that God wants us to do a particular thing or expects something from us so that divine favor can be bestowed.

Doing the will of God is more straightforward: First, it is coming to understand the divine ways, then it is an appreciation of divine or universal ways or law, which leads us to want to act in accordance with those ways. The more we choose (make our decisions) to follow the ways that Spirit has in mind (our minds) the more we do God’s will, and the more room we give Spirit to live in us and through us. This is the partnership that achieves ONENESS.

By aligning yourself in the willingness to live life by treating yourself and others with compassion, forgiveness, kindness, patience, and understanding not only builds heaven on earth—it builds heaven in YOU! In this way does each person increasingly become a conduit for and being of LOVE living in human form. It gives people the opportunity to have Spirit participating in your life that brings greater fulfillment and peace of mind, and it reveals a strong and noble character. A wonderful example of a person so totally unified in this is Jesus. Jesus mastered doing the will of Spirit because he was so in tune with the ways of Spirit that he could easily choose to do it that way. We don’t all have to live exactly like Jesus did; yet he serves as a wonderful model and inspiration for the kind of Spirit-guided life that is possible in aligning with the divine will. It is entirely possible for us to attain that same level of Spirit-centeredness that Jesus manifested which celebrates our own uniqueness and brings great diversity to the planet

In that diversity comes harmony, for the nature of Spirit is to constantly express itself through increasingly interesting, unique, different and original forms of life: each revealing a unique thought of its perfect divine Source. We are unified in the fact that we all come from the same original Source. We are each an original unique thought of God living on earth. The more we want to align our ideas and wiliness to become spirit-like, the more we allow the plans and playfulness of God to shine through in our lives and bring us into union with the Source Self.

Each person is a treasure of God’s as the divine hand sews us in the fabric of the universe so that everyone can delight in and experience the richness of the textures and flavors of LIFE. The more diversity we create through our alignment in the divine ways, the greater the potential for harmony exists. The mind of God expands yet our source remains the same, and we all share in the glory that is building and unfolding. Our unique individual God-self is part of the plans contained within the mind of Spirit. Celebrate yourself and grow in Spirit!

One evening after dinner in October 2005, I was lying on the couch watching CNN news. On the screen came a story about a 15-year-old boy from Nepal who had been meditating under a tree for 6 months without any food and water. People were calling him Buddha Boy. I sat right up to get a closer look at the television. My first reaction was, wow, he is a cute good-looking boy. My heart began pounding, although I did not know why.

But news was so short; the news had already moved onto another subject. I was wondering if it was possible for an ordinary human being to not eat and drink for 6 months. Only if he were God, Buddha, was my thought and I went to bed with the boy’s image in my mind. (And I do believe very much that he is a kind of god, appearing into the world, or an angel, or a boddhisatva or a reincarnation of a saint.)

Time flew by and every now and then I would wonder about that Buddha Boy as to what he was doing now, or whether he is still meditating, what had happened to him. I kept listening to the world news with a hope of seeing something about him.

Then 5 years later, in September 2010, I got an email from a friend forwarding to me the five YouTube clips on Buddha Boy, which were parts of a documentary film made by the Discovery Channel. When I saw that boy's picture again, I was so happy, feeling as if I had just found a long lost brother. My heart jumped again and beat fast,, I could not believe that he was still meditating... and I had found him. Since then, I have Googled everything about him. I blamed myself for not searching for news of him on the Internet earlier... so many things had happened since the first time I saw him on TV. But now, every night before going to bed, I read about him and looked at his pictures on the computer. I read all the articles about him, including some French documents (with a dictionary) and I also watched all the French videos I could find. I spent at least three hours per day reading about him, over and over. My dream and my resolve for seeing him became stronger and stronger in me. I thought every day how to go there to meet him. I read all the information on the Google Group, etapasvi.com, and paldendorje.com. I volunteered to translate news articles about him into Vietnamese. I memorized his biography, his speeches and his teachings. I saw him in everything I did, like cooking, driving, walking, swimming, sleeping – even at the restaurant tables, I would draw his picture on the napkin during waiting time. My daughter told me, "Mom, you are so obsessed with the Buddha Boy".

I learned a lot about him through a book I bought online from lulu.com, called "Reflections on Palden Dorje", by Andrea Good. I eagerly checked my mailbox daily, and as soon as it arrived, I stayed awake all night to read the whole book. I looked for Andrea's email address to thank her for her wonderful work and made friends with her. And I was praying that some day I would have a chance to meet "Buddha Boy" Palden Dorje in person.

Then, in November 2010, I read an email from a French lady on the Google Group, Catherine Weber, who was asking for the contact of some person so she could go to the Halkhoriya jungle in February 2011 for the World Peace Great Prayer. I emailed her to ask if I could be her companion on that trip. Voila... my dream came true. (I had read about the event but I thought only monks with 12+ years could attend and that the ceremony was not open to the public. Later I found out that Khenpo had welcomed all Google Group members.)

I told some friends about my trip and they said I must be out of my mind – going alone to a strange jungle, full of wild animals, being a foreigner, a woman from another country, not able to speak their language. “Where will you stay”, they asked, “in the jungle?” and “Who will protect you?” I did not know myself, but I had a very strong and absolute faith in that Buddha Boy. I only knew that I must go and he would protect me, and that I would have his blessing. I had to go no matter what the cost is. Nothing was going to stop me. “How can you stand a long flight with your injured back with a chronic pain?” my friends asked. But, I thought, “What could be the worst scenario? That I lose my life? So what, everyone must die one day, but if I have to sacrifice my life for him, I would, as long as I could see him at least once. To die under Buddha's feet would be my honor and a wishful dream!

I told my parents about my pilgrimage trip to Nepal, but did not tell them anything about Buddha Boy, because I knew they would ask me the same questions my friends had asked. My parents thought that I was going with a group of tourists to see Lord Buddha's birthplace in Lumbini, so they encouraged me wholeheartedly, saying they wished they could go with me too, but in their old age, traveling such a distance would be too much trouble. They sent me with some money and pure faith for offering at the temples.

After a long 36 hours of travel, I flew into the capital of Nepal at midnight, having transferred from Cathay Pacific Airline to Dragon Air. At Kathmandu airport, the first thing I saw was the huge, colorful painting of Sakyamuni Buddha in a beautiful, peaceful garden with elephants, deer and other animals (vuon ngu uyen) along the whole wall before exiting to customs. What a religious country!

Then I had to look for the sign that said, "Kim didi" (big sister) being held by Dawa at whose house I would be staying: Family Home Stay. I had seen his picture in the net, but I could not recognize him in person without that sign. He greeted me by putting a scarf called a khada around my neck which is the Nepalese custom to welcome guests. Our tiny car roared into the night through a city sleeping in darkness lit only by a few private generators . The electricity being off, Dawa's wife led me to my room with a flashlight. I was so thankful to them for the warm welcome and I felt very safe.

The next day at 3 am we got into a car heading to Bara District. After a long bumpy six-hour ride on narrow dusty rocky mountain roads, we got there in time for the blessing from Buddha Boy, now called Dharma Sangha. I quietly walked barefooted along the holy path with my heart bursting with tremendous joy. I did not think of anything except thoughts of gratitude to the Buddhas.

When I first saw Dharma Sangha from behind, I felt my knees shaking, then my hands and then all my body. The very first moment I saw his face, I broke out in uncontrolled tears. I went down on my knees and bowed to him. As my forehead hit the ground, my hands, elbows and knees had all melted into the dirt under the tree where he was sitting. I was in heaven. I wanted to laugh, to cry, to scream out loud, and to share my happiness with the whole world. I thought of my family and friends, wishing that they were with me to witness the presence of a Living Buddha in this pure, holy land. Could this be what is called a karmic connection?

The sun shining on the leaves, the cold winter wind blowing over his long hair, it was so quiet that I could only hear the birds singing around him and the fast beating of my own heart. It was the holy land, the pure land with thousands of people walking one after another peacefully in "the sound of silence". I could imagine that all the Buddhas lived here. I closed my eyes, sinking into the thought, “this is the happiest moment in my life". I thought of the famous slogan in a commercial from Disneyland in California, "the happiest place on earth". Yes, this was it. Halkhoriya jungle was the happiest place on earth. How fortunate I was to be there!

After my trip in February 2011, the first thing I did when I returned home was to start looking for an airline ticket to fly back there again in May 2011. I had to witness the historical day when Dharma Sangha would complete his six-year meditation. And I did get my wish fulfilled. I am one of the luckiest people in the world. I am so happy that I cannot describe it in words.

Thank you Guruji Dharma Sangha, thank you all Buddhas from the bottom of my heart and soul.

A lecture by Yogi Bhajan, June 1970

It is a universal phenomenon that man always seeks union with God. Kundalini Yoga[1] is the yoga of awareness that makes it practical today for the man to be with God. If one can be one-pointed on the Name of God, one can always find God in his heart.

We have eight centers of God consciousness in the body. The lowest is located at the rectum. Second is the sex organ. Third is where these two centers meet when they are pulled together. Then comes the heart center where we can come out of the lower triangle, or our animal nature. That is where love, equality, and service begin. At the next center (fifth chakra, Throat Center), if the consciousness can be pulled to dwell there, man knows the truth. Then above the two eyes is a triangle known as the “third eye,” or ajana, where all the knowledge of the past, present, and future is known. Real humility, flow of love, and kindness come through here. And lastly, we have the seventh center at the crown of the head, the highest of all, a lotus petal with a thousand petals in it where you only want to know God, and everything is nothing but God. Your personality and ego are merged into that great Universal personality and Universal ego. While we live as human beings, we can bring together our physical, mental, and spiritual beings, and be God-beings. The circumvent force, the entire force which is the aura around us, the God-light which protects us, is the eighth living center.

Up to this time, in the United States of America, there was no place for people to learn or teach Kundalini Yoga. It is the grace of that Bhagwati, the creative power of God, that now everyone is free to learn this great supposedly secret science. Now there are American teachers who teach this science too. One only bows to that One great God, because we have created channels through which the knowledge, truth, and technical know-how to raise your consciousness from your lower centers of consciousness to the highest can be learned, practiced, and perfected.

We have all material wealth, but there is no contentment. Man wanders from morning until evening, but he does not know that between God and man there is one link only: that is the breath. The breath is the key to the control of one’s emotions. One can easily feel that when the breath becomes irregular and shallow, man becomes mentally upset. Therefore if we can practically control the breath in such a way that it is normal and simple and soft, man in behavior will be normal, simple, and soft. In other words, he’ll be a happy man.

One thing man forgets which is a reality and truth: Death. We are not permanent on this Earth. We have come here under the command of a Universal force, that cosmic energy; some people call it God. It is that great master computer in which we are all the unit computers, and we are here to perform certain practical duties. All our vibrations are time-clocked into that master computer and our balance sheet is struck every minute. Sometimes, because of our ego, we draw different lines than that of the master plan and we mess up the whole system and society, jeopardizing our own happiness in life. Fortunate are the few who start the day always looking to the vibrations. With each breath they vibrate the Divine Nam, the Name of God, to cleanse themselves, to enrich themselves, and to energetically charge themselves so that they can be positively effective for the whole day.

When the sun energy in the evening is low because Earth is between the man and the sun, man’s mentality and consciousness leap towards the low, shallow behavior. At that time, if one has a system to do sadhana, to practice for awhile with these few precious breaths— the Divine Will which prevails through him—to glorify the Name of his Creator; or as a unit computer he tunes into the great master computer, one is saved from the cycle of karma. Let us not cause a cause which shall have a negative effect. Each negative will bounce back on us and shall bring us unhappiness.

Man has to live in love—love which is not lust. Love where there is no possession, no slavery of another person. Love which is a giving. Love which is for the sake of love. Love which lasts forever. Love which is a total sacrifice. Love which is more than the grace of God itself. Love which gives a halo around the face of the person. Love through which one can see God in the eyes of the person. Love with which the body shines, the words become sweet, and the communication is absolutely beautiful. That love for which one sacrifices his own life to save a little bit of injury to another person. That love with which one pleasantly and peacefully takes all the pain in his heart to redeem another fellow being. That love can only flow when one knows how to tune into that universal God.

Some people make it possible to pretend that lust is love. They are really successful for a short while, but when they are caught in the clutches of time and smashed, and time is gone, then they are left alone to pay back their karma ten times.

Man does not know that this world is a restaurant and he has come here to stay only for awhile. And this is a period for liberation. If he will possess whatever he has to possess but will not be possessed by the material things, and not be a slave to them, it will be most beautiful for him to feel free and light and live in love. That is what love is.

Sometimes man behaves even worse than an animal. His attitude is very steadfast, because his ego does not let him feel he is wrong. That not only gives him unhappiness, but it becomes a permanent sore.

Man has to understand that it doesn’t take a long time to tune into God’s Name, and the flow of that Divine energy will flow through him and he will be filled up to the brim with the love and the light of God. His consciousness will be clear and pure and his animal nature will become helpless right before him. Instead of his being helpless before his animal nature, he will be able to ride his animal nature and travel the distance into the kingdom of God much easier than he can think.

When one can see between lust and love, this discrimination makes him not only a pure being but a Divine being. And the flow of energy from him goes to other channels and brings them out of the negativity. One day this world will be nothing but love, nothing but pleasure, nothing but happiness. Everybody will be happy together; love will flow from one person to another person. Truth will prevail through all and Sat (Truth) shall be the guiding Name for all. And that will be the dawn of the new age—the age of happiness, the age of pleasure, the age of understanding, the age for man to know God within himself. In the love of God men shall dwell under all circumstances as one unit with the constant flow of that energy which they call God. We call Him Cosmos, ever-living, ever together, ever-existing, ever in us. He was, He is, and He shall be.

As we move into the Holiday Season, I wanted to share a recipe for French Toast that my family and I enjoy for breakast. This is a little different than my usual topics, but I wanted to post this to share with all of you.

Use thick slices of toast/sandwich bread. You will need a measuring cup that uses American measurements or you can convert the measurements to metric easily online.

First add the following ingredients into a mixing bowl:
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 pinch salt
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar

Combine ingredients until you have a smooth mixture in the bowl.

Get a large frying pan, place it on the stove top and add cooking oil (I prefer natural sunflower or olive oil) in the pan. Once the oil is warm, take a slice of bread and briefly dip both sides of the bread into the mixture. The bread does not need to be dipped more than a few seconds on each side. Place the bread slice in the frying pan. Cook each side. Once slightly golden brown/yellow, it is ready to be served. Repeat, until you have enough French toast slices for breakfast. Sprinkle on lightly confectioner's/baker's sugar on each slice if you wish. You may add maple syrup or other favorite topping.

Enjoy!

A Leap of Faith

As Spiritual beings, we live in a state of timelessness... a sacred space of thoughts and feeling where the gifts of Divine Truth and Faith grow stronger and more beautiful in every moment as we reside within perfected patterns of the immaculate concept.

We have had many guides, tools and beneficial relationships with the self and others that have brought us to this current level of clarity and understanding.In order to sincerely progress and to truly live as free sovereign beings, small and gentle steps are necessary to unplug, break out, and dismantle ourselves from the container of this illusion.

From this process, our sole focus becomes a great responsibility to the cause and effect of our unique individuality, as well as the collective in the many facets of being. With a deep meditative act of self inquiry into our feelings of truth, it becomes quite clear that life, as we have been living it, is the illusion and it is now slowly dissolving as we allow a greater level of Divine Alignment to occur.

Imagine the act of unwavering faith that is involved... leaping empty handed into the void with total trust that one will be supported. This very act is a testament to ones spiritual attunement to the Will of God.

Let the Stars and the Earth truly be our guides as we journey into the deepest parts of Self and let us draw only upon the Source within us for all our needs.

The stargate portals burst open on the greatly anticipated date of 11:11:11 and the new light codes of transfiguration and regeneration continuously shower the planet and the human race. As we now begin to develop our Avatar skills and integrate all that is being downloaded, we must take a hard and realistic look at all the technologies and stimulus of our material world.

From our new collective resonance, this technology actually harms our energy field and creates fissures in the auric body. So many of us have never truly been out in raw, untouched nature - away from electromagnetics and worldly stimulus - where we may rediscover our inherent abilities to align with the natural rhythms of our beloved Earth and the vast expanse of the cosmos.

The purity and unity of Nature is a Divine Reflection
of what we, as emerging Avatars, can achieve.


Our Changing Genetics

The human race has de-evolved into a genetic program of gross insanity, dependent and addicted upon outer stimulations to reward the illusion of separated identity.  We are kidding ourselves to think that we are advancing into 5th dimensional beings when we are still attached to these sensory stimulations.

We can only understand so much through the use of intellect. At some point we have to lay down our tools and our gadgets, lay aside our perceived "path" and all the dependencies of the mind itself, and make our way back to the still point. When we experience this still point, we may bear witness to true metamorphic change in areas such as the brain, the blood and the nervous system.

How do we experience still point on a more consistent basis? There are so many ways, consistent silent meditation being key.  We must also focus on a complete energetic departure from the matrix that upholds the insanity.  When you have nothing, absolutely nothing to stimulate your senses... nothing to do, nowhere to go, to create, to vision, or to do... this is when our robot programming can begin to dissolve.

The innovative genius of survival is within us! The beauty and even perfection of Nature expresses this in our waking moments.

Moving out of the matrix means letting go of all the dependencies out there that we use in order to continue to support the 3rd dimensional illusion. Obviously this includes all techno-devices that keep us wired to the electric grid but also our belief patterns, our deities, and our plethora of new age tools. These were the tools and instruction that have graciously supported us thus far. However, it is now time to move and expand ourselves and our innate gifts, such as telepathy, much further.

If the current matrix of illusion were to dissolve due to a solar flare event or a natural disaster, are you prepared to be in the raw field of ascended nature?


Where do we Begin to Unplug?

We begin one step, one day at a time. Perhaps we start by setting aside one day each week to "unplug" from electronic devices and to slowly increase this departure. Or we might limit our plugged in time each day to certain hours and methodically decrease the time.

We start out with baby steps and all the while we increase our time in the natural world, our time seeking the still point. Get out and hug trees, lay on Mother Earth to harmonize your heartbeat with hers, sun gaze or bathe or swim in natural and unpolluted waters.

Our DNA is downloading our Christ Avatar blueprint and we are making conscious choices about diet and seeking nurturing environments, but many of us... the world servers, the way-showers, the first-wavers are dependent upon mechanical devices to do the most simple thing in the Cosmos... to meditate!

We are a loving species and wish to unfold into the Avatars and guardians of our new earth with the new codes of the 5th dimensional frequencies.


How do we Connect to the Crystalline Grid?


During our recent New Moon focus of Silence for Grid Transmissions, several questions were received from members unsure regarding to how to participate without an audio-support. Even among the Oracles, we have had a passionate discussion regarding the giving up of recorded music during our meditations. All music is "vibrational light" and a healing gift of the Cosmos so there is no actual objection to music, only to the dependency on it and the use of earphones and electrical devices.

Our training wheels must come off! We must begin to practice our Avatar Divine Blueprint skills that we have recently downloaded and really step inside and try to decode our inner skills and wisdom. We may use our body and all it's elements including voice, movement and visualization to connect. Shamans use music and rhythm in sacred ceremony to create energy that brings in the Divine. Our ancestors used dance, drumming and yoga to induce the meditative state. Walking, labyrinths or running can also bring one to the desired still point.

The Oracles are here to share their views and methods of meditation, however, as Children of the Sun representing One Group Soul, we all agree on the following steps to consider:


Invocations:

This can be a mantra or decree, smudging or incense, toning, drumming, chimes, bells or anything that creates a sacred space and uplifts your energies. This can include calling in the directions or the Ascended Host and is used to "set the zone" of entry into stillness...and then into silence.

Grounding to the Earth and Connecting
with the Central Sun or Galactic Center:

Our divining power rod...feeling the connection to Earth's core through the core of our being and then though our Heart and up to Source.

Focusing on the Heart:

Visualization of the 3-fold flame and seeing our inner Sun radiate unconditional love from the heart center automatically increases our frequencies. We moving into the Heart-Mind, focusing on the heart-beat and knowing this is God.

Turning on the Pineal Gland:

Activating our new communication system as a communicator and receiver of conscious vision and cosmic awareness.

Connecting to the Crystalline Grid, Group Soul and the Unified Field:

This may be visualized as a brilliant Sun, the Maltese Cross, the Merkabah, the Torus Field of Sacred Geometry, or many other ways.

Fire the Grid and holding the vision of the Immaculate Concept:

Transmission of the Sacred Fires and holding the image of Divine Plan.


A Time to Receive:

Entering the still point, the void, merging in Oneness with Source...a time for personal visions and messages.

This post is discussing ascension and this is consciousness ascension. Physical ascension follows consciousness ascension at the appropriate time and everything is a natural path and evolution through Love. Be patient, we are citizens of eternity. But enjoy the peaks and moments as we reach them.

The primary purpose of life is to love. To achieve ascension you accomplish the mission of performing universal loving service. This is your dharma.

Ascension also has to do with the complete balancing of the body, emotions, mind, and spirit in perfect harmony with each other.

Also it has to do with the balancing of 51% of all karma from this life and all past lives.

It is your own Mighty I Am Presence (soul/oversoul) and the seven chohans of the seven rays, along with Lord Maitreya, Sanat Kumara, Lord Buddha and Lord Melchizedek, who decide when disciples and initiates are ready to take ascension initiations. There is often a great discrepancy of abilities and gifts among those taking the same initiation. This is how it should be, for each person has a different purpose and puzzlepiece to play in God's divine plan.

We live in a free-will sector of the universe. Therefore you can either choose Christ consciousness (ascension) or fear-ego consciousness (descension). The choice is yours. Since the choice is yours, you can set the timelines. You only need to ask or pray for ascension blessings.

Then, simply perform your dharma and everything will work out perfectly for you. Make sure there is enough time planned for growth to balance your karma and bodies and perform your dharma. A reasonable (consciousness) ascension timeline is 1-2 years if you are just beginning to yearn for the path. If you are already on the path, six months is enough time.

An example would be "My Mighty I Am Presence, Sanat Kumara, Maitreya, Lord Melchizedek, Lord Buddha, chohans of the seven rays, Lord Metatron, Mahatma I wish to ascend by the full moon of Taurus of 2012. Please do all that you can to help me complete my ascension process and all seven levels of initiation by the full moon of Taurus 2012 to be of the greatest service to all sentinent beings and God if this is in accordance to God's will. Please do all that you can automatically and permanently, without me asking for these blessings to accelerate my path of ascension. I ask for your 100% support to help me accomplish the mission of performing universal loving service, my dharma on earth. I ask for the complete balancing of my body, emotions, mind, and spirit in perfect harmony with each other. I ask for permanent and automatic 100% Light quotient increases that are best for me at each step along the path. I ask for the automatic and permament balancing of 51% of all karma from this life and all past lives.You have my full permission to work on me while I sleep and activate me during the day so I can realize this goal for my highest and greatest good. Thank you, with deepest gratitude. God's will be done. Amen."

After stating the intention and prayer, do the hard work. Purify yourself- go within, take the narrow path, purge beliefs. Be Love in action. Ascension is a continual gradual process, and you will make it each step of the way.

EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THIS WEBSITE and indulge with your mind, will get some kind of vibrational response within you. Good, bad or neither. What you can learn from Reading Posts of other peoples "projected" feelings is "How does this feel within me"?

You are a "Transformator", you are the ones who FEEL and you have a choice to "Embrace" what you feel and transmute it into something very unique and powerful.
Many souls already knows this.

Self responsibility is Key, whatever you feel, there is something to Reflect on. Every Unique reflection that is manifested within each "readers" heart will "evoke" a vibration that
has a Great Gift of Love. Because this "feeling" of Negativity can TEACH you alot of things.
Negative Posts is a great "KEY" to "evoke" the LOVE within you.

Never Reject negativity, understand that you get caught up in the "drama" because it have to "play out itself". Self responsibility is knowing that "LOVE" is within ALL THINGS.

Nothing new, just wanted to share...

The Soul is that part of you in eternal bliss. To rejoin the Soul in entirety we must find that eternal bliss within. This comes through Self-Realization.

Self-Realization is a big word that means many things. It is following your heart and intuition in all situations. It is being thankful for all blessings. It is being thankful for each challenge in life, as it is another opportunity to grow. It is satisfaction with the smallest blessings in life, as all are blessings to you and you are blessed. It is happiness in giving. It is unconditional love in the service of all beings. It is found through universal loving service. It is found in helping all those within your life situations as much as you can help them.

It is the complete balancing of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.

Here are some examples to balance yourself:

Physical: Exercise, Healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, Enjoy nature outside, volunteer to help others- example: monsoon or hurricane season- distribute food and water to those who need it

Emotional: Have the strength to comfort a grieving friend, become a counselor, express your heart-felt gratitude to all of your friends, volunteer to help a nurse in a hospital, visit the elderly and give them gifts of flowers

Mental: Read the books of Wisdom, always keep learning, learn a new hobby, realize there are infinite things to do, release your limitations and keep learning

Spiritual: Commune with the Source of our universe. Meditate. Pray for those in need. Learn energy healing.

There is always much to learn when it comes to Self-Realization. There are infinite Paths to get there. The important thing is satisfaction. Satisfaction is what comes before bliss. To be satisfied with your life simply do. Do all that you can to be satisfied in your service to others and God.

I admit the road to my awakening and self-realization has been hard. I feel like I've been in through the fire and back again. Within each challenge lies an opportunity. This has been the opportunity to make me stronger and more self-realized.

I was born into a family that kept moving every few years. I never had lasting friends. Then, following schooling I still did not know what I wanted to do with my life. So I decided service would be the route. Yes, my soul knew service was the route but because I wasn't listening to my heart I made a few mistakes. My personality, in its quest for happiness thought money was the answer. So I joined the military. Of course money wasn't the answer to happiness which I learned later. I had inner drive so I became an officer in the military. I served for eight long years. I was sent to the middle east not understanding why I was there. I came back and met my wife. I was amazed at her emotional depth. I was very mental. There was much to learn, however hard it was. Through my wife's interests- Osho, Kundalini, Reiki she was able to open me to new endeavors. She arranged a reiki treatment. I resisted. I didn't want to go to some crazy new age people. I was very judgmental. She accompanied me. I went for a reiki treatment and it was the best experience. I learned to accept the new age community and release my judgment and ego. Later I became a reiki master as this interested something within me.

Eventually after eight years I received permission to leave the military. This was through deep prayer, sending reiki, and a lot of hard work. I've been through a large international move and have a daughter now. I've learned many different healing modalities as a quest to better myself in service to others.

Self-Realization is not easy. I am still working on myself. I am strengthening my emotional depth but actively counseling my friends and family. Listening with my heart not mind. My friend's wife recently died of cancer. I did all that I could to comfort him in his grief. I said and wrote condolences. We talked through things. I gave him something to lean on. My family and I volunteered to help clean his house and we found someone to help him with all the paperwork during these life changes. If you don't stick together and help each other, how will you make this world a better place? This is my lesson in compassionate action. Do all you can to be compassionate to others in the here and now. What you sow, so shall you reap.

I am performing universal loving service by offering everything I have learned in Reiki to everyone on Lightworkers Healing Federation and Attuneshare so they can pass the torch onto others and continue the cycle of loving service. I am still learning divine expression. I have recently begun the creation of my very first own reiki modality and manual that can be spread freely to others. This was a long-time dream of mine. I connected with a friend who writes manuals and a new journey has begun. I am believing in myself. Now it is a reality.

Abundance is begining to flow in naturally. People are remembering what you do for them. Now I am receiving free attunements from friends to release my Karma and "Lack" from past lives. Now I am getting more free by the day. I am expressing all those things in my life that used to be fears. This is how one can enter that place of bliss. You are satisfied with life because you gave it your all. Your heart is tired because you have expressed as much as you can express. You don't have any regrets. You've worked on yourself and you are free.

Now, I have just purchased special necklaces for my friends to wear to connect to higher vibrations. They do not know these will be coming in the mail. This is my gratitude to them for all they have done over the years. I am doing this despite having a few small bills to pay. I really don't have the money but I have faith. God has told me everything will be perfect for me. This is a lesson on faith. I am having faith and already I am receiving donations to pay these bills. This is amazing. Release your fears to God. Surrender to God. Let God guide your life, and you will be miraculously surprised. You will release your lack feelings and they will automatically be replaced with abundance, because you just surrendered to the source of all abundance. Having faith is another step towards self-realization. Time is short, do you want to spend time worrying about what you could have done? Or do you want to be satisfied that you did all you could do in your power to make the world a better place?

In the past, I had a dream of creating a garden to beautify my living area. I admit, I am not rich, I live in an apartment complex with 6 other people. I had a desire to learn gardening. Others told me, what do you want to learn gardening for- you live in an apartment? I said to beautify this place and spread the harvest to my neighbors. I followed my dreams despite the resistance and went to the weeds outside and dug up the grass and created a garden. Now I am sharing the harvest with my neighbors and all are happy.

Have faith, believe in yourself and anything can be done. Be satisfied with your life and do all that you can in your power, in the circumstances you are in, to make everything better. This is the secret toward Self-Realization and eternal bliss.

"Love thy neighbour as yourself" - Jesus

"Hands that help are holier than lips that pray"- Sai Baba

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly." -Buddha

"What Matters Most To You, Will Be Matter"

When I was about 14 years of age I read the Conversations with God Series, by Neil Donald Walsh. These books reminded my heart what life is about. I would recommend all to read these mind and heart opening books.

Spirituality is not a concept, its a word, interpreted by the human mind, where we try to find what is spiritual and what is not. People feel less Spiritual when indulging "heavy" thoughts or cannot control their feelings. Being enlightened is BEingness and you cant add something to that.

The mind is confused, its playing out thoughts on this stage, called earth. Everything you believe or think about is just Temporary, your view will change All the time, all is in movement, thats the first thing I would teach if i would ever teach something. I dont see myself as a teacher. I just like to Simplify things.
I feel a strong Attachment to my Being here on earth, but I know that this is just a temporary experience.
Its not about Gathering as many as possible or save anyone from anything, so all can ascend etc. All will do that eventually anyway, no matter what I do or dont do.

All people are guided. No one is obligated to take responsibility for the worlds state. What I mean by that is, you cant put all of the worlds problems on your shoulders. I myself feel a strong commitment in doing things I love, like writing and creating. I love communication and technology, the internet, mobile communication etc.

I have a vision in my heart that I hold on to, not in desperation, but in Humbleness and Love.
I believe in A Society where we can have all things in abundance, intergalactic Free travel, free communication and non polutive technology etc. Its possible right now, change will come.
Ascension is another Label to reflect on. For me Ascension takes place on the inner planes, and will be reflected in our society, it is a change in perspective and the lesson is self love. Ascend into your heart and feel your totality. The inner and outer is Prespective of the one and Only Isness. There are no out there or in here. Its all omnipresent.

I read that more and more celebrities Join different Organisations or Religions. For example Scientology and Jehovas etc. It seems that many people want to belong somewhere or follow something to feel safe and secure. If we understand that Home is who we are, we can create our own Life philosphy within. Ashtar Command is not a religion or hiarchy organisation, its a Communication Network, where information can be shared. A library for humanity.

The world is within you, you are the world, heal yourself and heal the world.

"What Matters Most To You, Will Be Matter"

I just got that thought now, from nowhere when in a state of relaxation, which make me think about, that everything will come to the one who is in Trust and in the moment. If you think about something, and you think that everyday, for one year, it will be as "truth" for you. Eventually it will be manifested in matter, and you see what you believe.

If a person would stand beside you and look at the same Incident/scenario as you, he could see a completely different thing, because of the beliefs.
Who can blame anyone for their beliefs, We all have different beliefs, but maybe the same intent. In my "reality" there is no Right or wrong way, I would never interfere with anyones beliefs. Im in a state of NON believing and I embrace LIFE NOW, LET ANYTHING HAPPEN, ANYTIME, even the Destruction of Planet Earth. Do you become frightened when I say this? Why I ask you. Why should you worry?

I want to say this! There are people on earth "BELIEVING" that earth will END 2012, Seriously, they believe the earth will End 2012. They have put their focus on Destruction instead. Its nothing wrong with that. Some people focus on First contact, and some focus on World peace. This is a perfect example how "broad" our views and perspectives are. So I would say, FOCUS on what you want to see in the world, instead of focusing What you do not want. I have complete trust in my heart and i know that Real peace and truth isnt found in any physical thing, thats secondary, but this also help you to "Appreciate" the physical, because you dont want anything from anyone, or you dont want to Change anything, because All people are in oneness already, but some havent Figured that out yet, and thats OK. All will come to that insight. When you are in a state of Acceptance and Appreciation , you can give freely, and this will create ripple effects, changing the core.

I want to point to this, because people tend to "create" one way to heaven, instead of ONE MILLION WAYS. We are the ones who decide where we want to go and who we want to be, not religions or Gurus. There are beautiful things happening on earth right now. I dont want to create Fairytails about the future, because it is NOW Change is.

All people have TOTAL free will to choose whatever they want, when it comes to "heaven on earth". Ones heaven can be someones Hell and vice versa. There are no "MAP" or "GUIDELINES". We create the map as we go. I dropped the "When, how where" a long time ago, because i Enjoy the Moment as it is.
There is no 1-2-3 steps to heaven. Not through Religion, not through Being Beamed up, its already there within you. So simple, nothing to do, Boring? We cant change Anyone else to believe certain things and why would we, beliefs are just illusions. Who want to believe in illusions? Ashtar Command is an Energy, its not just about Spaceships and Ashtar himself. I once more say that Labels are "old school" things, to help the mind to understand and connect.

The only Real thing is NOW and what we call "LOVE". True Love is beyond the word and actions of human kind, if you tune into the light within, all things will merge. You wouldnt want to change a thing in the world, because you would feel it was allright! Even if you see trouble i the News, because you arent a victim, you help them by Feeling oneness.

You help everyone in the End, by tuning in to your own heart. A so called lightworker, (there we have the Label again") can be silent all his life, see all things in the world as oneness, and effect alot more people than he can believe. We all have a responsibility to "choose" Now, who we want to be and what we want to radiate.
Where I see confusion and destruction, I know there is a reason for that, else it wouldnt exist.
I AM in this now where I embrace the world as it is, in this state you are FREE to create a NEW reality. Thats my philosophy in life. I am not here to change peoples minds or hearts. If I do, Im happy for you, Because I AM ANOTHER YOU!

There is more to reality than meets the eye, as you say.
Ive gone beyond the "SAVING" anything Drama, there is nothing to save, and all people will understand this sooner or later.

Change will come for those who embrace it. All answers will be given to those who are willing to listen within.

As long as I am here on Earth I will give all of my attention to BE THE HEAVEN ON EARTH, IN EVERY MOMENT, even when i feel sadness or
maybe nothing at All. The LOVE isnt in the UPS AND DOWNS of life, its always there holding you near.
There are times when I feel not a bit Spiritual, just empty, tired and have zero inspiration, But I KNOW that this is GOOD, because I LOVE myself, and im perfectly fine with my feelings, being human isnt about controlling yourself and how you want to feel. Embrace all of your Feelings, dont be afraid.

All is created out of love, it may not seem that way always.

There is nothing to fear than fear itself.

AUM*
Humbleness, simplicity and beingness, IN ETERNITY

The Awakening Movement - The Still Point of a Tornado

Suddenly inspiration strikes from nowhere and I have always known that things change exactly at the right moment.

There is a Rythmical Dance within the heart that tells you what to do next.

Ashtar Command Crew has got a "New" updated logo/symbol that ive put alot of love into.
The logo has wings that embraces a circle. Within the circle is the "Central Sun Heart" that is within us but also a Portal for transformation. Nurturing wings of Love holds us in every now. I hope you like the New logo that ive created.

I choosed the short "slogan" - "AWAKENING MOVEMENT" because we are in constant movement and within this lifetime we will awaken to Love and our True Cosmic Self.

I thought about tornados yesterday, and within the center of the tornado there is a "Still point or center" that is sourounded by "chaos". This is a good example of how we can be in this world but not of it.

Chaos and confusion is a common thing in Larger transformations. We talk about a Giant shift in perception without boundries or rules. Your influence is so Big that
small changes in your perception and thoughts can Vibrate through thick layers
of "hate" and help people around you to release their fears.

There are many levels of Energy work, much of what you do cannot be seen with your physical eyes, but it grows like a beautiful garden and will be "used" at the right moment.

Things will change in an instant.

Your power lies within the stillness of your being, in this state every "intent" will echo
within the "hearts of many".

There is No right or wrong in this universe, just variations of Vibrations/energy.
We can change Hate into Love. We are masters of our own Self.

No Entity or being can "control" our Soul or being if we know who we are.
Walk in your life as you had "100 Guardians by your side" and invite
love into your life, simply by Acknowledge that is already there.

Dont fear the Fear, because it isnt there to harm you or frighten you, its
there because Light will Attract fear. Try once to Dive into your Fear,
how does it feel, is it uncomfortable, is it a Heavy vibration?
Go even deeper into the fear, the Feeling of fear will eventually
disolve into a deep calmness. Remember that your Heart is like a
Compass or a "Vibration truth teller". You will feel if something is right
or wrong for you.

So dont worry being taken away by Negative Aliens or something like that. It isnt going to happen.
that is a "past chapter". You should focus on what you want to do in life
and Follow the Love. When you follow your Truth, doors will be opened
that will influence many, it may even feel that you arent doing anything,
but you transform everything.
LOVE IS THE FORCE WHICH IS IN EVERYTHING AND WILL
BE WITH YOU FOREVER, LOVE YOUR SELF.

Fear is only a tool to "engage" you into things that isnt always real.
Its just a way to "hold" you into a limited state of being.
You can learn to tranform fear into Love and release it for
the highest good. You cannot "control" other peoples Dramas
or life paths, but you can bless them on their way.
We are all from the same source, but with unique experiences.
That is worth to celibrate.

All that is within this world is there for a reason, it is there to Transform.
There isnt a Plan set in stone, we are the Plan makers and we
are the pioneers which decides where we want to go next.
No force outside is deciding who or what to do next, but our collective
energy will invite certain events which will transpire gracefully.
It is a natural thing to be Welcomed into the larger reality of the universe.

People will embrace the fact that we have heavenly guardians in our skies
and I see it as "midwives". Nurturing the planet and our Birth into
a new Paradigm.

AUM*

This post is about the catalysts I've encountered around 11:11 combinations. Catalysts are things that create change. Events and circumstances that create the necessary learning along the path.

In the holiday season following the Christmas Solstice, I received some great energy downloads from Source around New Year's eve. I meditated a bit, and then I encountered catalyst.

On January 2, 2011 I wrote a few of my friends about some car difficulties I had, after 1/1/11. Here is what I wrote:

Namaste all,

I encountered some significant challenges this week and after doing all that I could do in the earth illusion (25% of the effort), had to rely significantly on faith, the help of Green Tara, Archangel Michael, Reiki energy, and love of The Creator (75% of the effort). While my car is still in the shop due to the freezing temparatures throughout Europe providing a challenging condition with engine failure, I am thankful for the abundance received from the sources my mind cannot even understand. Spirit has a longer view then the unconscious mind which has a longer view then the conscious mind. Many challenges are pre planned by the higher and greater self to test your devotion to faith and your ability to be responsible on earth. When you are weary and have done all the effort you can on earth in service to all beings, then you rely on faith and the Creator´s love in the thick veiled illusion then it shows your dedication even more to the Creator. This brings you face to face with the Creator and merges you closer to fourth density as the Law of One says. PS also saw 1111 and 1212 and Ra on license plates yesterday as I was stripped of all control of the conscious mind and had only faith left to rely on.

At this time, the head gasket in my car blew. My car was 45 minutes away from the dealer I bought it from. The warranty was only covered at the dealership. Through faith, prayer and action, miracles happened. It was towed for free to the dealer through thick snow and ice, then the dealer repaired my car paying 75% of the cost and leaving me with only 25%. The story is much more involved than that, but the solution was perfect.

Flash forward to 11:11. On 11/10/11, I dropped my car off to get fixed. There was something wrong with the engine again making a loud annoying rattling noise. I thought it was a timing belt failing. So I dropped it off for the timing belt. The dealer estimate was a 600 euro repair. The car will be done in 2 days. No, they didn't have loaner cars, but I was referred to the rental car place in the same building and got the dealer discount. Give me a break! That night I prayed fervently that the bill would be as close to the estimate as possible and invoked Archangel Michael's protection. I had nothing left but prayer and some action. God said to me, don't worry everything will work out for you, my word is golden. I kept trying to believe but I was so lost in the illusion. I still felt hopeless, I was waning in my faith. But I kept reminding my mind, you have prayed and God loves you. It will work out. So on Thursday night I took a chance and transferred money used to a pay a bill on Tuesday to my account to pay my car bill which I expected to pay on Saturday. Also I transferred the last money I had on my account saved for Ning.com's hosting fees to my account hoping my book sales payment covers the fees next week. On Thursday I told my Mom about the repair. She offered to help. So she transferred a little money to me, but what happened was Friday was Veteran's Day and the banks were closed. On Saturday the banks did not do transfers. The earliest the transfer could go out was Monday. Guess what? My bill was due on Saturday I estimated. It was due before the money could arrive. That night I did some 11:11 meditations and decided my lesson for the 11/11 was the catalyst.

Well 2 days turned out to be 4 days over the weekend. The rental car bill just quadrupled. Now I was left with a 177 euro bill. Then my car was finally completed on Monday but the bill was 653 euro. 53 euro higher than the estimate. BUT, it was close to the estimate. On Monday morning, I dropped off my rental car then paid the rental car bill. But then I did not have enough on the account to pay the car bill, so I told them I would pick the car up in the afternoon (this allowed precious time for the transfers to arrive on my account). At 2 pm, my saved hosting money arrived. Then I had just enough to pay the car bill. A miracle! A prayer answered! I paid the high car bill with just enough money on my account. I got my car back, which sounds and runs much better now. Then I worried about my bill payment on Tuesday, as today was Monday and I already used the money to pay the bill for the car repair bill. Well, at 6pm on Monday, my mom's money arrived. It was enough to cover the bill on Tuesday. Suddenly everything worked out perfectly. My book sales payment is still scheduled to arrive this week to pay for the hosting fees of the City of Shamballa network for this month. Miracles and catalysts this 11/11/11 weekend. A test on faith, responsibility and manifestation. But thanks to the Divine and action, this test was passed. The lesson learned. Do all that you can, then pray pray pray. After that have faith have faith have faith. God loves you. Don't give up. It will work out when you do all that you can and then leave the rest up to the Divine. It always does. If it is a prayer with the intent to love, it will manifest.

Yeshua said to them, “Because of your unbelief, for amen, I say to you, that if you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mountain, 'Move from here', and it will move, and nothing will be difficult for you”

Spirit of Ma'at: "Prophecy" — Vol 3, No 6

From Space/Time to Time/Space
Carla Rueckert channeling Q'uo

with Wynn Free


Carla Rueckert is most well known for the "Ra, Law of One" series that she channeled in the period from 1981 to 1985. In this series, a group soul that identified itself as Ra (allegedly the same Ra that is channeled by David Wilcock) gave a detailed and scientific overview of how consciousness evolves in the greater Universe. A summary of this Ra material was printed in the Spirit of Ma'at (see The Universe According to Ra).

The author thanks Carla for extending him the trust to permit him to conduct this unusual interview with Q'uo, a multidimensional group soul, over the telephone. The author also thanks Jim McCarty for his assistance as scribe and helping to keep the energies grounded. This channeling was conducted on November 28, 2002, and transcribed by Terry Brown.



Wynn: How is one best able, from a spiritual perspective, to address the changes that the world will be going through?

Q'uo: We are those known to you as Q'uo and are aware of your query.

Firstly we would say that the physical manifestations of unrest, terrorism and war are what they are and are the natural outworking of the processes of graduation in which entities who have chosen service to self are attempting to graduate with the same devotion and focus with those who are attempting to graduate in the path of service to others.

The situations, we would suggest, are in the hands of all of those who understand and realize that they are systems of eternity who came here to learn and to serve and who wish to go on to learn and to serve, for that is the desire of the upward spiraling of selves of each entity and each atom that exists within the physical and metaphysical universes.

We would suggest that the self be attentive. The responsibility of the open heart is to love unconditionally that which is seen, and to see everything and every person as yourself or a part of yourself. In times of disquiet and conflict, entities are offered a sharpened opportunity to behold the shadow portion of the self: the wolf that bites at the heart.

This forthcoming year may contain disquiet. We can only encourage you to choose opening the arsenal of inner and outer gifts towards the Third Density (see Glossary) situation, finding ways to respond appropriately in service to others as inspired.

With this concern reduced to that which is its actual nature — that is, that which can only be effected positively, by knowing all is well, or negatively, by worry — the concern can then be turned to that which is the true business of this hour, this year, and in the decade to come, and that is aiding the planet itself and aiding the self and other selves to achieve the ability to enjoy an increased density of the light energy that is now flooding your physical sphere.

The nature of that one is change, and it will become less and less possible for Third Density physical vehicles to dwell in that Light. Not because it is damaging to the physical body, but because the energy body is hardened, in a way, into a state of mind that is characteristic of Third Density and is connected with the concept of self-protection and survival.

The enjoyment of life of Fourth Density (see Glossary) is dependent upon being able to move into a state of consciousness in which all other selves are seen as Self and all crimes and achievements are seen as a portion of the Universal Self, and then to move that 180 degrees, to where the self is seen as all things and as the Creator. That unification of consciousness opens the self to loving and being loved in a way that the body loves itself, rather than the way entities who are separate units love each other. Each way is unique.

We do not presume Oneness at the physical level, but rather we suggest that, at the subconscious level, entities within Creation are already One, and therefore the process of moving from Third to Fourth Density, in part, consists of accepting the Oneness at a level which has moved into the belief and perception system of the entity. This biases the conscious entity toward retaining the attitude of Unconditional Love and outgoing radiance at times when there is a perceived threat.

The one known as Saint Francis of Assisi is said to have called the fire "sister fire" and the pain "brother pain," seeing all things as qualities, as a portion of life. In each culture, there are stories of the realizations of unity.

We were speaking to concerns in a metaphysical sense of the upcoming year and we were placing out the enhanceability of those who remember the mechanism of the confusion that is covering the deeper essences of that which is occurring in the infinite plane of consciousness.

We would suggest that the coming year is one in which there is an occurrence that is ongoing and cyclical within that ongoing unity, which is as if there were a ratcheting up of the density actually experienced by those among the people at this time.

These movements began long ago and are increasing in their frequency as the clockwise motions of planetary movement spiral this planetary sphere into the vibrations of force related to time/space and space/time (see Glossary). The mismatch in vibrations between those who live and dwell within the Third Density, choice-making brain is increasing, and it is becoming more difficult to feel comfortable.

This experience of discomfort is markedly increased by the choice in gadgets of those among your peoples who are in service to self. These choices include your media and the various products of your people's service-to-self intrigues. These two factors combine to offer to the Third Density entity a remarkably increased experience of rush, stress, uneasiness, or even depression.

For those who are awake, the mismatch has a different effect. The attempts to keep the Third Density heart open within incarnations are imperfect. However, the sheer desire to keep that Infinite Love flowing through the energy body has a tremendous impact upon the Time/Space (metaphysical) rather than the Space/Time (three-dimensional) universe. Within Time/Space, intentions and ideals are "things." Consequently, even though the entity has been thoroughly imperfect in keeping the heart open, the intent, repeated and repeated without tiring, to return to a state of open heart allows the entity to respond to the Fourth Density portion of the vibration by seeking it. And in seeking, the entity moves into its needed next healing crisis.

Many times these crises are emotions and are expressed through what this instrument (see Glossary) would call "emotional conditions." Many other times there is actual difficulty with the physical vehicle, or other effects which vary with the reaction of the individual to the increased density of life and the imbalances within that entity's energy system.

The goal, then, is not perfection, but rather that sturdy returning and remembrance of Unconditional Love that is the nature of the One Infinite Creator; the remembrance that Nature permeates and builds the universe you are aware of, in all that you are not yet able to measure.

The very space that has so long been considered a vacuum is far more intensively packed with the Love and Light of the more Infinite Creator than are the atoms of what you perceive as matter.

Does this answer your query, my friend?

Wynn: Can Q'uo give any prophecies as to what actually might occur in the future, so that people can prepare themselves mentally and spiritually?

Q'uo: We are those known to you as Q'uo and are aware of your query.

We would suggest that giving such specific prophetic information would detune this contact to the extent that we would not be able to speak through her.

The response must begin, therefore, with our note that we do not feel it to be possible to speak upon such subjects without infringing upon free will. We again request simply that each be aware that there may be opportunities to serve in ways that are not presently obvious.

The situation as it develops will far better be served by focusing upon the steadfastness of faith that all is well and that all will be well.

We ask each, brothers and sisters, "Is it well to dwell on anything in fear, when the matter with which each concerns itself helps to shape the future? Is it well, then, to dwell on danger, even by way of preparing for it? Or is it better to dwell in a universe in which there is no danger, and thus affirm that which you wish and desire?"

The way that entities speak to themselves creates an amalgamated future in what you term "consensus reality." Therefore, any attention paid to survival beyond the usual preparation for your power outages, and so forth, is a way of expressing fear. There is no portion of the Creation which can be labeled "safe," nor is there any which can be labeled "unsafe" in terms of the continuation and the thriving in the progression of consciousness. There is no danger. The physical illusion is an illusion.

On the other hand, the harvest (see Glossary) does have physical aspects, in the sense that it is creating effects upon the surface of your planet because of the decidedly lagging vibrations of the Third Density population, which is creating a kind of resistance of the incoming density. The earth is far into its labor, and it needs the pouring of Light into that which this entity calls the Christ Grid and which others have called the Fourth Density Grid or the Ascension Grid.

This is the true emergency. In a planetary situation such as this, our focus, and perhaps that of any of those who are thinking metaphysically, is upon the softening of the labor of Planet Earth in her harvest and the increasing of the harvest of souls from this many-times-repeated cycle of greed, rapacity, and war.

May we say that the sum total of this tack of defense and aggrandizement is the production of fear and pain, and that these emotions are as food to negative entities which, from the Fifth Density level, are inspiring and activating the tendency towards extremist belief systems and the eye-for-an-eye point of view of justice.

Those who would serve at this time may well attempt to ameliorate the Third Density consensus reality. And we encourage those who would attempt to help.

The attempt to save the self is one that moves from fear, and we would suggest that this is not a position from which to achieve a truth. Following truth leads to the heart of self, and in the heart of self the identity is one of that which animates all things rather than being overly concerned for the physical vehicle.

We do not suggest that entities be careless, but rather that they respond appropriately as occurrences develop, meanwhile refusing to burden the pathways of the mind with fear-based concerns. Information will come by many messengers: that which is seen, that which is read, that which is heard, and that which moves before the vision of the bird and beast when they reign.

The process of true Knowing comes to one through one's own systems of guidance, from within the universe that dwells in the shadowy ocean of your brain cells — that opens the gateway to an infinite universe that is the true place where each lives.

Consider, if you will, that the entity that is watching that which is upon your television is observing a virtual reality. In just such a way, distortions in the infinite Love and Light of the Creator, when picked up on Third Density's physical channel, are translated into this particular channel of existence.

At the same time, each entity dwells within the corresponding metaphysical universe. The physical death is the movement from a heavy chemical illusion to a less distorted and non-physical universe. There is no discontinuation of being. However, each did not move into incarnation at this time to save the self, but to reach out a hand to others so that, as each hand reaches out, hands begin to connect and entities begin to hope in a focused and harmonized manner, becoming part of the rhythm and the flow of the very appropriate and necessary changes that are occurring within your planet at this time.

The harvest can truly be greatly increased at this time because so many entities here are just a tiny step from awakening. So we feel that there is a real possibility that, working increasingly in harmony, light centers like this one, and all positively-oriented groups upon your sphere, may begin to look less like solitary lighthouses and more like a city. The grid of Fourth Density may be seen as formed by the joint hands of all positive people and all joined hearts, as well.

In terms of aiding your planet, the seeking entity may look at the globe and behold many places where the life forces are weak — the places that are barren and unfruitful. These are places where there needs to be a strengthening — or a tweaking, as this instrument would say — of the Grid. Entities may at any time chose to become radiators of Unconditional Love to the Grid, simply by intending to do so and moving into a state of meditation.

The process of sending this Light forth is one of intending to do so. There are visualizations that aid in this sending of Light for some, such as the visualization of Violet Light being sent, or the visualization of the planet with Light streaming into the Grid and the Grid lighting up.

We would note that your scientists have discovered this Grid, among others, and therefore there is a panoply of sources entities may find that offer information of a linear kind concerning specific portals and grid points that this entity has no language for discussing. However, it is not necessary to know the Grid's makeup in order to aid by the very being of the self within the open heart.

May we answer you further, my brother?

Wynn: What's the best way to align one's own energy centers to the Christ Grid? How do we visualize it in order to send energy to it?

Q'uo: This instrument is familiar with the writings of the one known as Drunvalo Melchizedek, and we would say that the attempt to follow the exercises within that book having to do with the activation of the Mer-Ka-Ba is one system whereby the entity may harness and discipline the wandering mind within ritualistic mental activity that tends to open the energy body.

There are as many ways to open the energy body as there are inspirational experiences. There are many suggestions of such rituals of opening the heart and we would encourage entities who seek such to search the information available for such suggestions. The particular advantage of these rituals is that they can give an individual a reference point for the opening of their life energy and connecting with the Earth Christ Grid.

Beyond these techniques, there is an even more profound experience where one can actually maintain this connection to Christ Grid in a more ongoing way. We suggest paying attention to those ineffable and spontaneous expressions of joy and thanksgiving which each has experienced in ecstatic moments, such as the experiences of the bonding of a man and a woman in love, the bonding of friendships, and the discovery that one loves one's work.

Such feelings open the heart by their very nature. Beauty when perceived purely opens the heart totally. Therefore, what will open the heart for each seeker is unique. For this entity [Carla], it is the returning again and again to the table of Jesus the Christ and to take into herself that very experience which this entity views as Unconditional Love. This entity is in ecstasy as she hears the central words "do this in remembrance of me." And to that, this instrument replies mentally, "I will remember."

For another, the opening of the heart may involve the beauty of a song, the flight of a bird, or the odor of a rose. Each entity's point of balance is different. However, all have something in common: the need to open the heart.

When the heart is asked to open, first we ask the energy body to come into balance, to open and be unclogged. The simple asking of the mind to the self to take care of this aids in the ability to move into that state of consciousness that is the inspiration of love, the passion of right livelihood, or the firm settling upon that which is highest and best.

These feelings of the nature of the realization of Self and the nature about the Self greatly aid in the opening of the heart. Certainly anything that seems inspiring and resonant may be trusted by the discrimination of the individual.

The suggestion that we would close upon is that we would ask each to remember that spiritual evolution is a process of change. Change is, by its nature, a condition that biases the consciousness towards discomfort. The more work one does in consciousness in a day, the faster the metabolism of the consciousness rises. It is as though an entity were exercising muscles.

It is well to seek using measured kinds of meditations, especially if such practice is being done in solitude. In groups, it is much more safe to meditate for longer periods, and we would certainly suggest that entities in groups are more powerful magnetically than by themselves.

We suggest a gentleness with the Self, for the first self which must be loved, before one can love other selves, is one's own Self, and it is the hardest of selves to love. We would ask that each individual attempts to keep the light touch, being passionate and fiery as a lover in pursuit of the truth of the One Infinite Creator and of the nature of the deeper Self.

We thank the one known as Wynn and the other members of our group for calling on our presence for this somewhat unusual session. We have enjoyed meditating and sharing our vibrations with your own, and we thank each for the sacrifices of time and energy that each has made in order to carve out this time of contemplation and questions.

We leave each of you in the Light and Love of the One Infinite Creator. We are those known to you as the principle of Q'uo.

Adonai.



Glossary of Terms

Density: All consciousness in the universe goes through stages of evolution in 8 different densities (or dimensions) as it returns back to God. Normal life on Earth is Third Density, where beings experience themselves as separate from other beings and deal with issues of survival and recognition. A Fourth Density world is one where the inhabitants experience themselves as part of each other and recognize the inherent oneness in all life.

Space/Time: This is the description of the world we live in, where time is fixed and space is a variable.

Time/Space: This is the term which refers to what is commonly called the Other Side or the metaphysical world.

Graduation: The Earth is undergoing a dimensional shift from Third Density to Fourth Density. A certain percentage of the population of Earth will "ascend" to this fourth dimension and be reborn into a Heaven-type world where the inhabitants will experience love and empathy. The rest of the population will be reborn into another Third Density world where they will have another chance to evolve into the Fourth Density. Those who ascend will be said to have graduated.

Harvest: Harvest is another word to describe graduation.

Group Soul (also, Social Memory Complex): As a population continues to evolve beyond Fourth Density experience, it ends up as a conglomeration of energies that no longer need bodies. This conglomeration can aid in the service to lower Third Density worlds by interacting with individuals in a dream or trance state. Everyone moves into other densities during periods of sleep and usually forgets the experiences upon awakening.

Instrument: This term describes those who are able to connect with higher dimensional group souls via trance telepathic sessions.

Greetings Star Kin.

If you have been developing your awareness it is easy to discern the where and what of the experiential reality to which we now are living. The Harmonic Frequency of the Universal Light reaches us with increased resonance at each cyclic interval. The interval continues to decrease in span and so the acceleration is perceived by us that exist as this.

For the Gathering of Light, this is the trumpet call. The Divine Portal will soon manifest and the subtle alteration to the Why and How shall be blatant and marked so that none may deny what is even as it finds definition in all that is and exists. So great the changes that lie before us, and so real the outcomes that continue to play out in the span between breathes.

Speak daily the intentions you carry as your Way. Hold with tender devotion the calling of your Heart. Move forward in confidence and boldness for the brave new world that you share in the collective mind's eye. It is a promise that shall find completion, be not of strife in your daily affairs. Honestly, what struggle is of such import, what trial is so torturous that is can supersede the continually manifesting completion of the promise that these things are passing, and they shall birth the unified will of Love and Light.

We are the ones we have been waiting for. Claim this fate for your own. The cosmic cycle is being retooled, just as it was told would occur, and we have the right, the power, and the responsibility to create our own destiny. Be at Peace for this is so. Be of Joy for this is yours. Be of Faith for this is the validation of such Faith. 

It is a blessed day for me. I have the privilege of addressing you, my family in Light. Too long have I been indwelling, furthering my own awareness and understanding. I have not been as forthcoming in this endeavor as I am aware that I am to be. So it is addressed and I once more lean in to the circle. May you find your solace today in the promise of the 'morrow.

Blessed Be. Blessed of Christ. Love Light One.

Generalities about Free Will, Destiny and Karma

Many people at one point or another in their lives stop to ask if they really have free will or if everything that happens during their lives is just some type of interface with destiny. Some even question if we have free will at all. The answer to these questions is: yes, we do have free will.

What many fail to realize is that every human being, and even certain sentient animals, came to life equipped with Free Will; what varies is the degree one can express and live their Free Will.

Inexorably, Free Will is intimately related to the Law of Karma: you are responsible for the ripples resulting from your acts. The Law of Karma is not a punitive law, but it is a law of balance. This is the reason it is known as the Law of Cause and Effect. Mankind has the right to a degree of Free Will, through the choosing of its actions and concrete realizations, contributing greatly in the shaping of its destiny. In one way, the destiny of someone is nothing more than the resultant summary of one’s work, actions and thoughts during a life time, under the auspicious care of Karma.

On another hand, we may pause to explain a concept that may seem a bit complex at first. This is the Dharmic side of Destiny. Just as everyone takes upon a physical existence in this lifetime and receives the right of Free Will, so to do they also receive a Dharma. While the notion of Dharma involves the idea of life purpose and Divine mission, it also expresses itself as retribution and freedom. When one reaches a point where one is able to live deeply the design of their Dharma, one would have balanced one’s karma enough to be able to upgrade the level of consciousness and awareness, therefore allowing the individual to expand the degree of Free Will.

There is a close relationship between the expansion of one’s consciousness and the expansion of the individual Free Will. It does not mean that other individuals, with a reduced level of awareness and consciousness, will be impeded to exercise what they think they have the right to do. It means that there will be accumulation of Karma that, in one way or another and at some point in time, will have to come to be balanced. This is part of a greater Cosmic Law, the Law of Evolution.

“Men have forgotten this truth,” said the fox. “But you must not forget it.
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
You are responsible for your rose…”

~The Little Prince

It is necessary step for humans to evolve to be in contact with duality and to experience themselves as a Divine part of God, gathering the results of experiences in the realms of Good and Evil. It is only through this experience that one can work towards expansion of consciousness.

The right to choose allows us to act our Free Will in the world, but does not give anyone the right to violate any cosmic law, or anyone’s right to exist and act. Every law corresponds to an action and a reaction; exercising Free Will undermining or depriving others of theirs will undoubtedly result in balancing consequences.

In this way, we see that the concept of Free Will does not damage or invalidate the idea of Destiny. Instead, it complements it; since we are the builders of our life plan and Masters of our Destiny. We have the right to choose how our earthly paths will be traced and we will also have the chance to enact the Divine part of our life existence and realize in full our Dharmic program.

Undoubtedly, the higher the development of consciousness and understanding of the works of the immutable laws that maintain the balance of the Universe, the easier is to understand these concepts and to free yourself from the traps of duality. Once this level is reached, the Soul also will have conquered Karma and its effects, and therefore graduate from Earth School.

This is the Path of Self-realization.

Subject: ET to Earth: Do You Wish That We Show UP?
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 14:49:47 -0600


Introductory Letter : ITEMS: ET to Earth: Do You Wish That We Show UP?
MWM: This long letter to humanity appeared with no apparent return address. It is being
posted here and there. This is another internet piece for which I cannot assess the validity. All I
CAN say is that it sounds like a good idea, is coherent, and is written skillfully at a level of
intelligence and maturity with I would associate with a serious, non-technical, matter-of-fact
level of discourse. It is not ethnically loaded and the writer has a very good understanding of
language and human psychology, though there are a few moments where the grammar is different
than we are accustomed to and there are a couple of language errors. Most importantly, it makes
no reference to impossible constructs, faux-tech, nor any type of religious or New Age
buzzwords. This is as clean a straight-shooting letter as you will find. Accordingly I am
sending it to you to "vet" it and see what our Phoenix Five brain trust surmises about it. I am
also sending it to you because it might be real...

The main assertion in the letter is that human civilization is now in an uncontrollable free-fall
implosion which cannot be "fixed" from within existing social systems. The implosion is
causing, will cause a major rupture in all human orders. There is a dark road down toward the
use of technology to rapidly enslave human populations in a badly degraded and unhealthy
environment. Those who are defining this path, many of them unintentionally, have the greater
advantage of power over resources and may gain the upper hand during the coming rupture.
There are many who would take a liberating path, they could gain the upper hand if they
UNDERSTAND THE CHOICE and can lose their fear, sense of isolation, and ignorance about
the true state of affairs.

The main proposition in the letter is that the mass appearance of ET in the skies now could help
humanity clear away the veils of illusion and deceits, help settle many existential issues and
dilemmas, and provide an "attractor" to help pull positive mentalities out of the social
death-vortex and enable them to refocus the next stage in evolution.

The main question in the letter is whether you want ET to thus show UP. ET suggests that direct
contact and some cultural assistance would provide the means to overcome the major blocks in
human social and cultural evolution.

ET argues that the mental/emotional ground needs to be prepared for such contact. Consent and
expectation for such contact needs to be created around the world, less humans react in mass
with fear and become manipulated by reactive power elites. ET suggests that a focused
telepathic answer from each reader will be sufficient to assist ET is reaching a conclusion about
what it should or should not do.

Even as the internet is achieving universal penetration during this time, ET requests that this
letter, its first mass communication, be universally translated and transmitted throughout the
world. ET also suggests that this should be done by people to people, forget the mass media.

As I said, this is very interesting. It is totally free of all of the "channeling" schtuff, thank God! I
have no idea whose plot line this fits into, one could assume many different attitudes and takes
on this piece. Is it merely another writer creating the basis for another book or movie plot and
generating an audience as heshe goes? Several have done such a thing on other topics, so some
healthy skepticism is inevitably appropriate. But that skepticism may not at all be a hindrance in
answering the question posed in the letter. It may in fact help. And maybe, just maybe....well,
here is the letter. Here it is unaltered by me. Decide for yourself. ~mwm~


CHANGE THE WORLD!

"DECIDE WHETHER WE SHOULD SHOW UP!"

Whoever transmitted this translated message to you is irrelevant, and should remain anonymous in your mind. It is what you will do with this message which matters !

Each one of you wishes to exercise her/his free will and experience
happiness.

These are attributes that were shown to us and to which we now have
access. Your free will depends upon the knowledge you have of your own power.
Your happiness depends upon the love that you give and receive.

Like all conscious races at this stage of progress, you may feel isolated
on your planet. This impression makes you sure of your destiny. Yet, you are at
the brink of big upheavals that only a minority is aware of.

It is not our responsibility to modify your future without you choosing
it. Consider this message as a worldwide referendum! And your answer as a
ballot!


Who are we ?

Neither your scientists nor your religious representatives speak
unanimously about the unexplained celestial events that mankind has witnessed
for thousands of years. To know the truth, one must face it without the filter
of one´s beliefs, however respectable they may be.

A growing number of anonymous researchers of yours are exploring new
knowledge paths and are getting very close to reality. Today, your civilization
is flooded with an ocean of information of which only a tiny part, the less
upsetting one, is notably diffused.

What in your history seemed ridiculous or improbable has often become
possible, then realised, in particular in the last fifty years. Be aware that
the future will be even more surprising. You will discover the worst as well as
the best.

Like billions others in this galaxy, we are conscious creatures that some
name "extra-terrestrials", even though reality is subtler.

There is no fundamental difference between you and us, save for the
experience of certain stages of evolution. Like in any other organised
structure, hierarchy exists in our internal relationships. Ours is based upon
the wisdom of several races. It is with the approval of this hierarchy that we
turn to you.

Like most of you, we are in the quest of the Supreme Being. Therefore we
are not gods or lesser gods but virtually your equals in the Cosmic
Brotherhood.

Physically, we are somewhat different from you but for most of us
humanoid-shaped.

Our existence is a reality but the majority of you does not perceive it
yet. We are not mere observations, we are consciences just like you. You fail
to apprehend us because we remain invisible to your senses and measure
instruments most of the time.

We wish to fill this void at this moment in your history. We made this
collective decision but this is not enough. We need yours. Through this
message, you become the decision-makers ! You personally.

We have no human representative on Earth who could guide your decision.

Why aren´t we visible ?

At certain stages of evolution, cosmic "humanities" discover new forms of
science beyond the apparent control of matter. Structured dematerialisation and
materialisation are part of them. This is what your humanity has reached in a
few laboratories, in close collaboration with other "extra-terrestrial"
creatures at the cost of hazardous compromises that remain purposedly hidden
from you by some of your representatives.

Apart from the aerial or spatial objects or phenomena known about by your
scientific community, that you call UFO's, there are essentially
multidimensional manufactured spaceships that apply these capacities.
Many human beings have been in visual, auditory, tactile or psychic contact with such
ships, some of which are under occult powers that "govern" you. The scarcity of
your observations is due to the outstanding advantages provided by the
dematerialised state of these ships.

By not witnessing them by yourself, you cannot believe in their existence.
We fully understand this.

The majority of these observations are made on an individual basis so as
to touch the soul and not to modify any organised system. This is deliberate
from the races that surround you but for very different reasons and results.

For negative multidimensional beings that play a part in the exercise of
power in the shadow of human oligarchy, discretion is motivated by their will
to keep their existence and seizure unknown.

For us, discretion is motivated by the respect of the human free will that
people can exercise to manage their own affairs so that they can reach
technical and spiritual maturity on their own. Humankind´s entrance into the
family of galactic civilisations is greatly expected.

We can appear in broad daylight and help you attain this union. We haven´t
done it so far, as too few of you have genuinely desired it, because of
ignorance, indifference or fear, and because the emergency of the situation did
not justify it. Many of those who study our appearances count the lights in the
night without lighting the way. Often they think in terms of objects when it is
all about conscious beings.

Who are you ?

You are the offspring of many traditions that throughout time have been
mutually enriched by each others´ contributions. The same applies to the races
at the surface of the Earth. Your goal is to unite in the respect of these
roots to accomplish a common project. The appearance of your cultures seems to
keep you separated because you substitute it to your deeper being. Shape is now
more important than the essence of your subtle nature. For the powers in place,
this prevalence of the shape constitutes the ramparts against any form of
jeopardy.

You are being called on to overcome shape while still respecting it for
its richness and beauty. Understanding the conscience of shape makes us love
men in their diversity. Peace does not mean not making war, it consists in
becoming what you are in reality: a same Fraternity.

To understand this, the number of solutions within your reach are
decreasing. One of them consists in contact with another race that would
reflect the image of what you are in reality.

What is your situation ?

Except for rare occasions, our interventions always had very little
incidence on your capacity to make collective and individual decisions about
your own future. This is motivated by our knowledge of your deep psychological
mechanisms.

We reached the conclusion that freedom is built every day as a being
becomes aware of himself and of his environment, getting progressively rid of
constraints and inertias, whatever they may be. Despite the numerous, brave and
willing human consciences, those inertias are artificially maintained for the
profit of a growing centralising power.

Until recently, mankind lived a satisfying control of its decisions. But
it is losing more and more the control of its own fate because of the growing
use of advanced technologies, which lethal consequences on the earthly and
human ecosystems become irreversible. You are slowly but surely losing your
extraordinary capacity to make life desirable. Your resilience will
artificially decrease, independently of your own will. Such technologies exist
that affect your body as well as your mind. Such plans are on their way.

This can change as long as you keep this creative power in you, even if it
cohabits with the dark intentions of your potential lords. This is the reason
why we remain invisible. This individual power is doomed to vanish should a
collective reaction of great magnitude not happen. The period to come is that
of rupture, whichever it may be.

But should you wait for the last moment to find solutions ? Should you
anticipate or undergo pain ?

Your history has never ceased to be marked by encounters between peoples
who had to discover one another in conditions that were often conflictual.
Conquests almost always happened to the detriment of others. Earth has now
become a village where everyone knows everyone else but still conflicts persist
and threats of all kinds get worse in duration and intensity.

Although a Human being as an individual, yet having many potential
capacities, cannot exercise them with dignity. This is the case for the biggest
majority of you for reasons that are essentially geopolitical.

There are several billion of you. The education of your children and your
living conditions, as well as the conditions of numerous animals and much plant
life are nevertheless under the thumb of a small number of your political,
financial, military and religious representatives.

Your thoughts and beliefs are modelled after partisan interests to turn
you into slaves while at the same time giving you the feeling that you are in
total control of your destiny, which in essence is the reality.

But there is a long way between a wish and a fact when the true rules of
the game at hand are unknown. This time, you are not the conqueror. Biasing
information is a millenary strategy for human beings. Inducting thoughts,
emotions or organisms that do not belong to you via ad hoc technologies is an
even older a strategy.

Wonderful opportunities of progress stand close to big subdual and
destruction threats. These dangers and opportunities exist now. However, you
can only perceive what is being shown to you. The end of natural resources is
programmed whereas no long-term collective project has been launched.

Ecosystem exhaustion mechanisms have exceeded irreversible limits. The
scarcity of resources and their unfair distribution - resources which entry
price will rise day after day - will bring about fratricide fights at a large
scale, but also at the very heart of your cities and countrysides.

Hatred grows bigger but so does love. That is what keeps you confident in
your ability to find solutions. But the critical mass is insufficient and a
sabotage work is cleverly being carried out.

Human behaviours, formed from past habits and trainings, have such an
inertia that this perspective leads you to a dead end. You entrust these
problems to representatives, whose conscience of common well-being slowly fades
away in front of corporatist interests, with those difficulties. They are
always debating on the form but rarely on the content.

Just at the moment of action, delays will accumulate to the point when you
have to submit rather than choose. This is the reason why, more than ever in
your history, your decisions of today will directly and significantly impact
your survival of tomorrow.

What event could radically modify this inertia that is typical of any
civilisation ? Where will a collective and unifying awareness come from, that
will stop this blind rushing ahead ?

Tribes, populations and human nations have always encountered and
interacted with one another. Faced with the threats weighing upon the human
family, it is perhaps time that a greater interaction occurred.

A great roller wave is on the verge of emerging. It mixes very positive
but also very negative aspects.

Who are the "third party" ?

There are two ways to establish a cosmic contact with another
civilisation: via its standing representatives or directly with individuals
without distinction. The first way entails fights of interests, the second way
brings awareness.

The first way was chosen by a group of races motivated by keeping mankind
in slavery, thereby controlling Earth resources, the gene pool and human
emotional energy.

The second way was chosen by a group of races allied with the cause of the
Spirit of service. We have, at our end, subscribed to this disinterested cause
and introduced ourselves a few years ago to representatives of the human power
who refused our outstretched hand on the pretext of incompatible interests with
their strategic vision.

That is why today individuals are to make this choice by themselves
without any representative interfering. What we proposed in the past to those
whom we believed were in a capacity to contribute to your happiness, we propose
it now to ... you!

Most of you ignore that non-human creatures took part in the exercise of
those centralising powers without them being neither suspected nor accessible
to your senses. This is so true that they have almost very subtly taken
control. They do not necessarily stand on your material plan, and that is
precisely what could make them extremely efficient and frightening in the near
future. However, be aware that a large number of your representatives are
fighting this danger ! Be aware that not all abductions are made against you.
It is difficult to recognize the truth !

How could you under such conditions exercise your free will when it is so
much manipulated ? What are you really free of ?

Peace and reunification of your peoples would be a first step toward the
harmony with civilisations other than yours.

That is precisely what those who manipulate you behind the scenes want to
avoid at all cost because, by dividing, they reign! They also reign over those
who govern you. Their strength comes from their capacity to distillate mistrust
and fear into you. This considerably harms your very cosmic nature.

This message would be of no interest if these manipulators´ tutorate did
not reach its peak and if their misleading and murderous plans did not
materialise in a few years from now. Their deadlines are close and mankind will
undergo unprecedented torments for the next ten cycles.

To defend yourselves against this aggression that bears no face, you need
at least to have enough information that leads to the solution.

As is also the case with humans, resistance exists amongst those dominant
races. Here again, appearance will not be enough to tell the dominator from the
ally. At your current state of psychism, it is extremely difficult for you to
distinguish between them. In addition to your intuition, training will be
necessary when the time has come.

Being aware of the priceless value of free will, we are inviting you to an
alternative.

What can we offer ?

We can offer you a more holistic vision of the universe and of life,
constructive interactions, the experience of fair and fraternal relationships,
liberating technical knowledge, eradiction of suffering, controlled exercise of
individual powers, the access to new forms of energy and, finally, a better
comprehension of consciousness.

We cannot help you overcome your individual and collective fears, or bring
you laws that you would not have chosen, work on your own selves, individual
and collective effort to build the world you desire, the spirit of quest to new
skies.

What would we receive ?

Should you decide that such a contact takes place, we would rejoice over
the safeguarding of fraternal equilibrium in this region of the universe,
fruitful diplomatic exchanges, and the intense Joy of knowing that you are
united to accomplish what you are capable of. The feeling of Joy is strongly
sought in the universe for its energy is divine.

What is the question we ask you ?

"DO YOU WISH THAT WE SHOW UP ?"

How to can you answer this question ?

The truth of soul can be read by telepathy. You only need to clearly ask
yourself this question and give your answer as clearly, on your own or in a
group, as you wish. Being in the heart of a city or in the middle of a desert
does not impact the efficiency of your answer, YES or NO, IMMEDIATELY AFTER
ASKING THE QUESTION! Just do it as if you were speaking to yourself but
thinking about the message.

This is a universal question and these mere few words, put in their
context, have a powerful meaning. You should not let hesitation in the way.
This is why you should calmly think about it, in all conscience. In order to
perfectly associate your answer with the question, it is recommended that you
answer right after another reading of this message.

Do not rush to answer. Breathe and let all the power of your own free will
penetrate you. Be proud of what you are ! The problems that you may have weaken
you. Forget about them for a few minutes to be yourselves. Feel the force that
springs up in you. You are in control of yourselves !

A single thought, a single answer can drastically change your near future,
in one way as in another.

Your individual decision of asking in your inner self that we show up on
your material plan and in broad daylight is precious and essential to us.

Even though you can choose the way that best suits you, rituals are
essentially useless. A sincere request made with your heart and your own will
will always be perceived by those of us whom it is sent to.

In your own private polling booth of your secret will, you will determine
the future.

What is the lever effect ?

This decision should be made by the greatest number among you, even though
it might seem like a minority. It is recommended to spread this message, in all
envisage able fashions, in as many languages as possible, to those around you,
whether or not they seem receptive to this new vision of the future.

Do it using in a humorous tone or derision if that can help you. You can
even openly and publicly make fun of it if it makes you feel more comfortable
but do not be indifferent for at least you will have exercised your free will.

Forget about the false prophets and the beliefs that have been transmitted
to you about us. This request is one of the most intimate that can be asked to
you. Making a decision by yourself, as an individual, is your right as well as
your responsibility !

Passivity only leads to the absence of freedom. Similarly, indecision is
never efficient. If you really want to cling to your beliefs, which is
something that we understand, then say NO. If you do not know what to choose,
do not say YES because of mere curiosity. This is not a show, this is real
daily life, WE ARE ALIVE ! And living !

Your history has plenty of episodes when determined men and women were
able to influence the thread of events in spite of their small number.

Just like a small number is enough to take temporal power on Earth and
influence the future of the majority, a small number of you can radically
change your fate as an answer to the impotence in face of so much inertia and
hurdles ! You can ease the mankind´s birth to Brotherhood.

One of your thinkers once said: "Give me a hand-hold and I´ll raise the
Earth".

Spreading this message will then be the hand-hold to strengthen, we will
be the light-years long lever, you will be the craftsmen to ... raise the Earth
as a consequence of our appearance.

What would be the consequences of a positive decision ?

For us, the immediate consequence of a collective favourable decision
would be the materialisation of many ships, in your sky and on Earth.

For you, the direct effect would be the rapid abandoning of many
certitudes and beliefs.

A simple conclusive visual contact would have huge repercussions on your
future. Much knowledge would be modified forever. The organisation of your
societies would be deeply upheaved for ever, in all fields of activity. Power
would become individual because you would see for yourself that we are living.
Concretely, you would change the scale of your values !

The most important thing for us is that humankind would form a single
family in front of this "unknown" we would represent !

Danger would slowly melt away from your homes because you would indirectly
force the undesirable ones, those we name the "third party", to show up and
vanish. You would all bear the same name and share the same roots: Mankind !

Later on, peaceful and respectful exchanges would be thus possible if such
is your wish. For now, he who is hungry cannot smile, he who is fearful cannot
welcome us. We are sad to see men, women and children suffering to such a
degree in their flesh and in their hearts when they bear such an inner light.

This light can be your future. Our relationships could be progressive.

Several stages of several years or decades would occur: demonstrative
appearance of our ships, physical appearance beside human beings, collaboration
in your technical and spiritual evolution, discovery of parts of the galaxy.

Every time, new choices would be offered to you. You would then decide by
yourself to cross new stages if you think it necessary to your external and
inner well-being. No interference would be decided upon unilaterally. We would
leave as soon as you would collectively wish that we do.

Depending upon the speed to spread the message across the world, several
weeks, or even several months will be necessary before our "great appearance",
if such is the decision made by the majority of those who will have used their
capacity to choose, and if this message receives the necessary support.

The main difference between your daily prayers to entities of a strictly
spiritual nature and your current decision is extremely simple : we are
technically equipped to materialise!

Why such a historical dilemma ?

We know that "foreigners" are considered as enemies as long as they embody
the "unknown". In a first stage, the emotion that our appearance will generate
will strengthen your relationships on a worldwide scale.

How could you know whether our arrival is the consequence of your
collective choice ? For the simple reason that we would have otherwise been
already there for a long time at your level of existence ! If we are not there
yet, it is because you have not made such a decision explicitly.

Some among you might think that we would make you believe in a deliberate
choice of yours so as to legitimate our arrival, though this would not be true.
What interest would we have to openly offer you what you haven´t got any access
to yet, for the benefit of the greatest number of you ?

How could you be certain that this is not yet another subtle manoeuvre of
the "third party" to better enslave you ? Because one always more efficiently
fights something that is identified than the contrary. Isn´t the terrorism that
corrodes you a blatant example ?

Whatever, you are the sole judge in your own heart and soul ! Whatever
your choice, it would be respectable and respected ! In the absence of human
representatives who could potentially seduce into error you ignore everything
about us as well as from about those who manipulate you without your consent.

In your situation, the precautionary principle that consists in not trying
to discover us does no longer prevail. You are already in the Pandora´s box
that the "third party" has created around you. Whatever
your decision may be you will have to get out of it.

In the face of such a dilemma, one ignorance against another, you need to
ask your intuition. Do you want to see us with your own eyes, or simply believe
what your thinkers say ? That is the real question!

After thousands of years, one day, this choice was going to be inevitable:
choosing between two unknowns.

Why spread such a message among yourselves ?

Translate and spread this message widely. This action will affect your
future in an irreversible and historical way at the scale of millenniums,
otherwise, it will postpone a new opportunity to choose to several years later,
at least one generation, if it can survive.

Not choosing, stands for undergoing other people´s choice. Not informing
others stands for running the risk of obtaining a result that is contrary to
one´s expectations. Remaining indifferent means giving up one´s free will.

It is all about your future. It is all about your evolution.

It is possible that this invitation does not receive your collective
assent and that, because of a lack of information, it will be disregarded.
Nevertheless no individual desire goes unheeded in the universe.

Imagine our arrival tomorrow. Thousands of ships. A unique cultural shock
in today´s mankind´s history. It will then be too late to regret about not
making a choice and spreading the message because this discovery will be
irreversible. We do insist that you do not rush into it, but do think about it
! And decide !

The big medias will not be necessarily interested in spreading this
message. It is therefore your task, as an anonymous yet an extraordinary
thinking and loving being, to transmit it.

You are still the architects of your own fate...

The development of loving-kindness.


Introduction.

This is a Buddhist meditation practise, illustrating the importance placed on the development of compassion in Mahayana Buddhism. ('Metta' means 'loving kindness' and 'bhavana' means 'cultivation').

When we practise this meditation, we start with ourselves. That is, we aim to feel more appreciative of ourselves first of all: more integrated and less prone to internal conflicts, before we attempt to develop positive feelings toward anyone else.

The basic psychological principle that Buddhists recognise here is that if we can't feel good about ourselves, then we are less likely to be able to feel good about other people.

So a metta bhavana meditation session leads from concern with oneself, to a concern for other sentient beings.

All sentient beings experience suffering in some degree. Here we focus on developing empathy for the difficulties that others may be experiencing: we wish them well, having 'their best interests at heart'.

The metta that we want to develop in our daily lives, as a result of the meditation practise, should not be a massiveley contrived state, however. Buddhist philosophy says that compassion can spring quite naturally from a recognition of the 'non-duality' of self and other: it is a state of 'engagement' in the world, a state of 'relating', where we feel for the experience of other people, and where we also focus on the good, positive, kind feelings we have so that we can spread that stuff around a bit...

The amount of time spent on each of the 'stages' of this practise is entirely optional, but perhaps 10 minutes for each stage would be a good average; less for beginners.

There's nothing to say that you can't whip through it on your own in a matter of seconds though- why not!



The Meditation.

Choose a Posture you feel comfortable with.

If there is stress or tightness in any part of your body then just let that stress or tightness 'fall away'. Take your time. Allow yourself to become more relaxed.

When you're ready concentrate on the breath. Simply watch it come and go, allowing your breathing to become regular and a little deeper, without forcing anything.

If your mind wanders off in any direction, gently bring yourself back to an awareness of each breath you take. Try to maintain this simple awareness for a few minutes. Breath comes in, and breath goes out.

Now shift your attention to the body as a whole, focussing on any emotions that you may be experiencing within yourself just now. From now on, and for the rest of the meditation, if you find yourself distracted in any way, then gently 'bring yourself back' to your body and the current state of your emotions.

The 'transformation' or 'education' of the emotions is an important part of the mettta bhavana practise, so always come back to focus on the emotional aspect of yourself when you find yourself going off in some other direction, but don't forget that all parts are related. Positive thoughts can give rise to positive emotions and negative thoughts can give rise to negative emotions, and at other times we will want to work primarily with 'thought', but not now: so if you can, just tune in to your feelings and try to maintain that awareness. OK that's the preamble over!


The first stage of the practise proper involves developing good feelings for ourselves: something within us that we can draw on, to extend to others.

[Technique 1:] Look into your memory to find a time when you were particularly happy, when you experienced feelings of joy, felt glad to be alive, felt warm and positive. Explore those memories for a little while, and every now and again say 'may I be well, may I be happy, may I be free from suffering'.

[Technique 2:] Imagine that with each breath, along with the air of each breath we take in, there is a subtle, life-force energy or 'prana', and that just as you absorb the oxygen from the air, so on some subtle level your body also gathers and stores up the pranic energy. Visualise the body as a whole with your heart at the centre. Imagine the field of your body's subtle energy surrounding you like a cocoon of yellow-orange light. Don't worry about whether this is 'true' or not. Suspend your disbelief if you have problems believing in this kind of 'subtle energy'. Now imagine that as your awareness rests on your physical and subtle bodies, so healing takes place. Your energies become more integrated: you feel good! As you explore these positive, energetic feelings for a little while, every now and again you say to yourself 'may I be well, may I be happy, may I be free from suffering', and each time you say this the light of the subtle energy surrounding you grows brighter and stronger.

[Technique 3:] What is it that other people like about you? What do you think you are good at? What achievements are you particularly pleased with? Hold these good qualities in your mind for a little while, and feel good about yourself. Every now and again repeat to yourself 'may I be well, may I be happy, may I be free from suffering'.

Try and really tune into each part of the repeating phrase, so that when you say 'may I be well' and 'may I be happy' and 'may I be free from suffering' to yourself you are receptive to any effect the words may be having. Be calm and be respectful towards yourself: listen to what's going on in there. Be your own friend, be your own healer. Accept yourself fully.


The second stage is about cultivating metta towards a friend.

There are a few 'rules of thumb' about who to pick that it may be useful to bear in mind at first: it may be best to choose someone who is alive, whose age is within a few years of your own, to whom you feel friendship rather than physical attraction.

The aim here is to strengthen the metta that we already have for our friend. We already feel considerate towards them, we already care about their wellbeing, we already want them to be happy.

Tune in to those feelings and if possible let them become deeper, stronger, but please don't use too much force!. You might not feel much at all at this moment. You might even have some negative feelings towards your friend. If so, don't worry about it. Be gentle with yourself, be kind, and allow new feelings to grow at their own pace.

[Technique 1:] Picture this friend in your mind's eye and imagine that they are happy: imagine them smiling, imagine them laughing. Say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering' to them, or simply wish them well in your thoughts.

[Technique 2:] Imagine your friend's body of subtle energy surrounding them like a cocoon of yellow-orange light. Imagine that this web of prana or life-force is centred around your friend's heart, and that as you say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering', so healing takes place: the energy surrounding them becomes brighter in terms of colour and stronger in terms of energy. It also becomes more integrated in terms of the balance between different parts. If you get a strong feeling that you shouldn't be attempting this, then don't do it. Choose another of the methods described here with which you feel comfortable.

[Technique 3:] What is it that you like about your friend? What do you think they are good at in particular? What do you think they should be most pleased with? Hold these good qualities in your mind for a little while, and feel good about your friend. Every now and again in your mind's eye say to them 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering'.

Again try and tune in to each part of the phrase 'may you be well', 'may you be happy' and 'may you be free from suffering', with a calm and respectful towards your friend. You want to be aware of their needs, and you want to be able to do the right thing to help them.


Stage three is about developing metta for a 'neutral' person, that is, a person for whom you have no particular strong feelings in either direction.

Focussing on some kind of 'acquaintance' that you hardly know is probably best. Try not to choose a complete stranger.

Why do we want to try and extend metta to a 'neutral' person? So that we can remind ourselves that we all want to be happy and avoid suffering: These predilections are shared by pretty much everyone. This is true of the people we hardly know, just as it is true of complete strangers.

We don't have the energy to really take on board the sufferings of every person on the planet, but at least we can try to push back the envelope of our indifference a little here by choosing to concentrate on one person that we don't usually think about. Let's try and care about this one person that we barely know for a change.

Most of us have a 'shell' of indifference toward people we hardly know, in some ways because this can make life 'easier' for us: but too often acting from the shell becomes a habit, where we shut off from our fellow-travellers, even when it's not a necessity for us to do this. Sometimes the self-protective shell that we develop can cause us to be rude to strangers, and sometimes it can make us numb to the extreme forms of suffering that people we come into contact with may be experiencing.

We are not going to attempt to fully empathise with everyone right now. We are going to try and extend loving kindness to one person that we do not usually have any kind of feeling for.

Ask yourself what motivates this person. What kind of food do they like, do you think? What kind of films, or books, or TV programmes? Do you think they have friends and family living nearby that they can look to for support when times are hard?

Try and break out of the indifference that you felt before: in your mind's eye at least, try and connect with the person you have chosen, and share their humanity.

If you can, and without forcing it, feel 'solidarity' with them, knowing that most of the pains that they have suffered in the past, or are suffering now, are pains that you have experienced yourself. As you empathise with them, so let the good feelings that you have tapped in to already in this meditation, flow out to this 'nuetral' person. Say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering', and as you say it, try and tune in to this other person, so that if your good intentions have any effect, try and be sensitive to that. If they seem to 'perk up' in any way, be happy for them.

If you don't feel much at all at this stage, don't worry about it. It may take time for you to be able to feel positive feelings for people with whom you have no kind of emotional bond. This is probably just 'how it is' for most of us unless we do a metta-bhavana-like practise perhaps for quite some time. But that's the point: to work at it.


The fourth stage of the metta bhavana practise is about cultivating metta towards someone that you find 'difficult'.

This may be someone whose behaviour you find mildly problematical, or they may be someone you consider to be a real enemy, who you feel does not have your best interests at heart. It's up to you. But, if you're new to the practise, and you are wondering wheteher to choose someone for this stage where there is real and intense conflict, then you may instead want to 'work up' gradually to being able to feel compassion for that person. Don't try and push yourself too hard. It's better that you're honest about how you feel and that you're not unrealistically ambitious for what you can achieve right now. If the potential person you're thinking of arouses very very strong feelings of anger or hostility in you then it may be a good idea to leave them out of stage four of the practise until such time as you can find a little more equanimity!

OK, you've chosen a person to focus on. If you feel anger, feel anger, or if you feel fear, feel fear, at least for a moment. If you want to argue with them, then be aware of that too, but don't indulge in any of these feelings. Watch as they rise up, and then let them go . Don't jump on every emotional train that comes along: this time let's choose to step back a little, not energising the parts of ourselves that would only deepen the conflict, in the way that probably we usually do.

Do you think that the extent to which they are 'difficult' comes from difficulties in their own life? If so, then be aware of that: feel for them.

Make a mental note that in future dealings with this person you do not get drawn any further into conflict with them, but instead find the most perfect Buddhist 'right means' in your actions in relation to this person.

[Technique 1:] Picture them in your mind's eye and imagine that they are happy: imagine them smiling, imagine them laughing. Say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering' to them, or simply wish them well in your thoughts.

[Technique 2:] Think about what you have in common with this person. You share a common humanity, at the very least, with all of the 'thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to'. In your mind's eye say to them 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering'. Wish them well in your thoughts.

[Technique 3:] What good qualities does this person have? They must have some! What do you think they are good at in particular? What do you think they should be most pleased with about themselves? Assuming you can think of good qualities like this, then hold those things in your mind for a while, while trying to cultivate good feelings for the difficult person you have chosen. Every now and again in your mind's eye (even if you can't think of anything good to say about them) say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering', and imagine that as you visualise in this way, so the conflict between you lessens.

Before we go on the fifth and final stage, come back to a simple awareness of your body and whatever emotions you can sense are active there. Allow yourself to be calm and relaxed.


In stage five we broaden the focus of our awareness, aiming to shine metta out toward many other sentient beings.

First of all we need to contact the really good feelings again. Tune back in if you can to the happiness that you felt earlier, in 'stage one' and remain with those feelings for a while.

Imagine those positive feelings manifesting as a sphere of orange-yellow 'light' surrounding you, with your heart at the centre. All sentient beings want to be happy. All sentient beings generally want to avoid suffering. And if it feels OK for you, right now you want all sentient beings to know something of the happiness that you have felt.

If it feels OK for you, you also want all beings that are capable of experiencing pleasure and pain to be released from suffering.

This well-wishing is metta. The sphere of light that surrounds you is metta. So, shining like a sun, you give out light in all directions, giving warmth, friendliness and support to everything that is touched by your light.

Extend that light to all corners of the earth, sending metta to all people on the earth. As you do this, say 'may you be well, may you be happy, may you be free from suffering'. Extend goodwill to all people on earth in your thoughts.

Then consider all of the animals on the earth.

Then all of the plants.

Then consider the earth as a whole, as an entity in itself.

If it feels good, then shine that metta out into the universe beyond the earth, to beings on other planetary systems, far out in space.

In two minutes we will start to bring things to a close.

When you are ready, slowly come back to earth. Come back to normal everyday consciousness and come out of the meditation in your own time.
