Maha Sambodhi Guru Dharma Sangha

Dharma speech given on March 21, 2012

Namo Bodhi Shravan Guru Sanghaya

Namo Maitri Sarva Dharma Sanghaya

Having followed the path of the true Dharma in search of purest path, I am giving the eternal message at the world Peace Maitri Puja, lovingly benefitting all the Dharma loving followers for the liberation from the suffering and pain of all sentient beings by the form of the GuruMarga GuruPath- Bodhi Shravan Dharma Sangha which was established having arrived on earth 35 thousand years ago according to the Maitri Calander. Just as a flower without obstacle freely offers its beauty and fragrance to the whole universe proves itself to be, so should humans eliminate from their lives attachment, anger, greed, desire, pride, murder, violence, and other defilements; for unless one cultivates the true Dharma's precepts, the fragrant flower cannot blossom.

Since I have submitted to extreme penance and practices for the path of true freedom and emancipation for the world from May 17, 2005 until May 17, 2011; without deviation even for a single moment, I have been fully devoted to the Maitreya Meditation with complete determination, the GuruMarga (Guru Path) that has landed is Bodhi Shravan Dharma Sangha. Bodhi Shravan means the true aim to be a realized guru. Having recognized the substance of the entire existence or having the power of all knowledge and the words of Dharma Sangha addresses all Gurus of this world and other worlds. Bodhi Shravan Dharma Sangha in other words all the Gurus having followed the path of Enlightenment from the Gurus of the Path and GuruMarga or having received the wisdom has been named Bodhi Shravan Dharma Sangha The goal of the GuruMarga is to spread the feeling of loving kindness by implementing the paths of freedom and liberation of the true dharma by releasing countless beings of the world suffering throughout the ages forever. On the path of devotion, trust and faith, purifying body, speech and mind while cultivating the precepts, one is able to obtain divinity within the human life. In order to cultivate Dharma Peace, non-violence, mutual understanding and loving kindness, human beings should discard the following such as attachment, anger, greed, desire, jealousy, murder, violence, pride, disputes, hatred, devaluation, dissatisfaction, belittling, selfishness, false words, addiction, bad company, unwholesome acts, misdeeds, devils and demons, obstacles, making the false apper true and the true appear false, creating discrimination and rifts between religions, races (ethnicity), regions, communities, and sanghas. Spreading wrong views (bhranti) is to profit by propaganda towards my, mine, ours, villages, wards, municipalities, nations, among nations and all over the world. In the name of religion, practice, philosophy and wisdom, Murder,violence, unwholesome acts, misdeeds and unrest are practiced creating networks and boundaries that do not exist among human civilizations. This is indoctrination.

Being aware of those who have fostered illusions in the world since ages past, I am endorsing the true GuruMarga to follow and make others follow for Sanghas, Dharma-Loving followers and trut-seekers who have been confused in the past. In the true Dharma, following the GuruMarga with right action, by virtue of truth or being true, one can eliminate the bad effects that could have happened by birth or after birth, in life or in one's generation due to the evil effects of one's past karma or ancestral karma such as having a violent nature, being mentally challenged, blind and so forth, I am giving these precepts to benefit self and others by spreading the feeling of loving kindness in order to eliminate and purify the defilements of the human mindstream. Never discriminate on the basis of name, appearance, complexion, class, belief, community, power, position, or qualification; even discard differentiating between the concepts of material and spiritual. Having become acquainted with the Eternal Dharma, the Path, and the Guru, respect all religions and beliefs. Forsake lying, allegations, counter-allegations, belittling and spreading falsehood through baseless gossip. Forsaking philosophies or ways that make boundaries of divisiveness and difference of opinion, take up the Satya Marga – The Perfect Path. Following the Satya GuruMarga – The True and Perfect GuruPath – throughout life, renouncing evil actions, always remain intent in union with the Guru Tatva [3] - The Guru Essence. Not having reached Enlightenment oneself, do not seek to prove what it is with clever words; and, while still in confusion, do not make others confused. Renouncing such demonic conduct as killing sentient beings and violence, consume wholesome food. Do not hold narrow-minded opinions about people and countries on the basis of national identity. Engaging oneself in the pursuit of the Satya GuruMarga - The True and Perfect GuruPath - perform actions that benefit the Earth. When one realizes the Truth, the GuruMarga - The GuruPath - takes form, so achieve Enlightenment for all Sentient Beings. Staying in the highest and deepest state of Chitta - Pure Awareness, assimilating within the Self these Precepts, be free from all bondage. Benefit self and all sentient beings through the internalization of these precepts by all sangha members. May all understand that these precepts are not to bind, rather they are the way to liberation from all bondage. One who follows the GuruMarga with true belief, devotion and trust, that person will lead life in the realization of mysteries of the universe with omniscient loving kindness. It is necessary for humans to take wholesome food in order to active Enlightenment.

Why do humans, who are above all beings eat those foods that harm self and other beings? Forsake those foods that harm self and others and by taking wholesome food, treat others as you would yourself. From today I will take wholesome food. Finally , I will travel to spread the feeling of loving kindness by accumulating virtue through guiding Dharma Lovers, Peace- Lovers, and truth seekers. I understand how compelling your present situation is according to the objective of the True Dharma.

Also I recommend you take the Munay Ki courses and contact the ancients http://www.munay-ki.org/

Finally activate your healing hands http://www.cityofshamballa.net/forum/topics/essene-healing-hands

So this blog post has to do with another difficult decision I made today. I made the decision to purify both Rudy Eugene and his victim Ronald Poppo.

For background, the entire article is here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2152208/Rudy-Eugene-Miami-cannibal-attack-video-shows-victim-Ronald-Poppo-conscious.html




I sent Ronald healing and protection today for his highest good. My hand was full of energy, which meant it was badly needed. I sent it with the intent it is received as long as needed regardless how long I sent it.

Then I intended Ronald was escorted into the Light once he departs his body. Archangel Michael told me, he will be in the Light and is already there once he passes.

Finally  I was reserved about purifying Rudy because of his attacks, but Source reminded me to "Be Love" which reminded me of a quote: be universal love, like the sun, shining on all things....which reminded me to question myself...why should I withdraw love? Does Source do that? Then I played the background music from the video Green Tara Seichim Reiki Attunement to get me in the mood and released all judgment, merging everything into the Oneness perspective.



Then I set my protection through intention and visualization invoking Archangel Michael and his circle of warrior angels, Archangel Metatron and the Metatronic Cube, Flower of Life, Star of David symbols, then invoked only the highest presence of love and light from Source to be allowed in my space. Then I invoked all solar, galactic, universal masters of the highest love and light to assist me perfectly with this purification. Then I invoked Medicine Buddha and began the process. Long story short Rudy was purified but during the Buddha of Ocean step, two black spirits departed his etheric body in the afterlife and were contained by a force field from the warrior angels and sent to the negative density realms with the seal of Metatron preventing their escape to Earth or other realms again. Then he was escorted, rather wounded into the light, he will go the Shamballa hospital for healing since the black spirits overcame him so much that he became a possessed monster.

Using drugs or not, he was possessed by these things and tormented on Earth. This was perhaps a soul lesson for both of them.

 Regardless, it was difficult for me to release the mind, but it was done.

Namaste,
Chris

(a simple review to understand our next collective initiation!)

The journey of ascension is simply... a return to our origin. At our particular level of human evolution, we are making transition into a multi-dimensional consciousness perception. To do this, we must reconcile spirit and matter in this third dimensional reality by increasing our vibration and raising our internal fire energy known as the kundalini force.

For those of us who are remaining in service to the planet, the ascension is a process of initiation in which our focus is placed upon the merging of our individualized human personality body with our soul vehicle and then with our Monad to become one unified being here on Earth.

It is to remember that we are a tiny humanized aspect of our greater God Self. This God Self is that which is referred to as the Monad, or, the mighty I AM Presence. This magnificent divine aspect of our human self has created the so-called Oversoul, which is essentially the Soul family to which our individual Soul belongs. Our individual Soul is that part of our self that reincarnates over and over again in order to evolve and ultimately return to the monadic source.

Our Monad contains many Souls. Our human personality and our soul are individualized aspects of a group of souls and even a group of Monads which are all ascending. This is why we are constantly referring to the Group Avatar, the Group I AM. We are all aspects of each other coming back into a grand merge with each other... as one greater being.

The mighty I AM Presence is, in truth, a God Self containing ALL of us, as aspects of itself.

It is not just us, our individual consciousness that ascends, but all of the souls and oversouls that make up our Monad. To make real progress, we must get our entire oversoul and monadic family working within the same resonant frequencies. All soul extensions that we are connected to must also become clear, integrated and unified from the greater purpose of the I AM Presence.

This is why we must help as many people as possible in our personal sphere of influence!

Souls can only incarnate into bodies with DNA responsive to and compatible with that soul.

Because souls are shaped by experiences and thoughts, different soul types will reincarnate into different body types of the same species. As humans, their personality is influenced and restricted by the characteristics of their soul.

Spiritual evolution is limited by one's biological, genetic, and physical composition.

For instance, a dog cannot grow emotionally as we do because their brains are biologically incapable of perceiving the same range of emotions. Dogs also do not feel equal self sacrifice and devotion to truth that some of us humans enjoy, and we are therefore superior to them. Lastly, since all souls, once out of the physical body and deep into the stages of the afterlife, are essentially the same being, there is no place for evolution in the spiritual realm; all evolution occurs on the physical plane of existence.

This is why planet earth is so valued by the powers that be. It is the perfect training, evolving, and learning grounds for positive souls with the privilege of physical presence. In this region of the solar system, without an earth, there is no evolution, and whatever pain a soul is in continues indefinitely until that soul can reincarnate to evolve out of its pain.

Because souls evolve by earthly hardships, new types of souls can only develop by modification of the older ones over millions of years of evolution. Thus, if a sudden jump occurred in the genetic sophistication of a species, a spiritual void would be left as the older souls would be outdated and incompatible with the newly created species.

The new species would be born as still births unless some source of soul were available that is suitable with the DNA of that species.

The human race was a result of drastic genetic engineering by a coalition of several alien species/races several hundred thousand years ago, each group putting its own spin on the basic human template. Most of the aliens themselves were products of undisturbed evolution upon their home-worlds.

Since human evolution was catalyzed, the souls of our ancient primate ancestors could not reincarnate in the newer advanced bodies. Thus existed a spiritual void which was immediately filled with a new source. Considering it was aliens who created humans, these aliens must have had some reason to profit from the task.

In fact, most alien bodies were too primitive to allow further spiritual evolution, meaning their potential for experiencing new things were hampered by the limitations of their DNA, as a blind man is restricted from admiring art by the limitations of his nonexistent eyesight. Therefore, a new creature was devised with unbelievable potential to experience and gain wisdom, created from old genetic stock already on earth at the time.

This creature species was homo sapiens, a new body for the older alien souls, a new vehicle for the bored driver, a larger pot for a plant with crowded roots. But just as there were varied alien species and races, there are different human races since each alien species created its own version of the basic human.

Human races are each predisposed to incarnations of ancient races of aliens, and the culture and prejudices of ancient aliens show up in the archetypes of modern cultures, because today's humans are these ancient aliens. Pure races of humans can contain only the souls of the alien race who designed them, but due to cross-racial breeding over past generations, the dilution of distinction between races has resulted in a good sized minority of each race having the capability of bearing the souls of any of several alien races.

Although the majority of a race has a tendency to host a specific alien type, it is no longer an absolute law of nature.

The most glaring feature of today's abduction literature is the lack of black people. Even with Barney Hill as an exception, his wife Betty is white. This indicates a preference for whites by greys and their leaders. Also, some whites speak of pleasurable encounters with aliens, while other whites recount horrific tales by the same group. This can only be true if there exist sub-races within the white race, resulting from modifications upon the original whites by an alien faction foreign to the first.

Since abductees are reincarnations of different alien groups, if one's abductors are of an alien race hostile to that of his alien lineage, then he is indeed likely to be treated with hostility.

But just as abductors might despise the origin of their abductees' souls, so do we as humans have contempt, envy, or hatred of other races, though it is subconscious in our case and can be overcome by social conditioning. Anti-Semitism and racism in general are societal effects of our racial memories.

Not every aspect of cultures is determined by ancestral archetypes buried deep in our minds, but the unique characteristics of a culture are flavored with the memories and customs of our ancient alien selves.

While the course of humanity on the physical plane often remains in our hands, the spirit world is a definite influence in our affairs. Sub-physical, para-ethereal entities who cannot or choose not to reincarnate attempt to alter our futures to their benefit. Usually, the astral and physical planes are separated in such a way that entities from one plane cannot influence those of the other.

However, owing to God's necessity for perpetuating the oscillation between good and evil (such that the battle between them gives birth to new experience and growth of consciousness, God ) the interface between astral and physical weakens cyclically. During one part of the cycle, evil astral entities have easy access to this world, and during the other half, good entities influence humanity.

Under the proper circumstances, involving places and times where the earth's EM grid fluctuates toward the benefit of astral entities, they can exist more solidly and visibly to us, even to the point of attaching themselves to a new host body and living as human. These places exist naturally and are often considered haunted or sacred by the locals. Most of these entities are simply non-incarnate alien souls who guide the influence the actions of their earthbound naive brothers.

The significance of this lies in that there are many alien types, and not all have the same agenda.

There are laissez-faire Non-Interventionists in physical and ethereal form, the physical ones of which live extraterrestrially. These are wise and do not interfere with what happens on earth, but allow us to be taught by the consequences of our own actions. If we blow ourselves up, we will know next time not to do it again (hopefully).

Positives are pro-God, pro-Life, follow the right hand path, and respect the Kosmic Wheel of Life. These aliens serve to banish negativity in all its forms, from stasis to indifference to needless suffering and ignorance.

Powerful as these beings might be, they are not God, because God itself is pure potentiality, totally impersonal, and without self-awareness. But because it is a fact that not all beings are at equal levels of evolution, we know that there must be least and greatest of evolved beings in existence, the highest of which fit this category.

Ascended Masters can be of any of the alien races, except they are highly evolved, much more so than ordinary alien groups of whom they once were normal members, and exist primarily on the spirit plane. Their power is extreme, whether they are good or evil, and can be compared to such bigshots as Jesus, Budha, Lucifer, and Satan.

Occasionally, when grid conditions are right, they can incarnate physically to directly influence mankind.

In the Great Pyramid, naive illuminati initiates sometimes undergo a rite whereby they are individually placed in the King's sarcophagus and left there to meditate for three days. Upon completion, the initiate is supposed to be illuminated, having been empowered and awoken by the pyramid energies.

Little did he know before entering that the pyramid and its shafts function as a soul transporter to and from the Orion constellation, and midway through his meditation his body is vacated and replaced by a draconian walk-in.

Stupid illuminati fool!

Parasites are here to exploit our natural, spiritual, and biological resources.

They are responsible for,
the ancient gold mines of Africa
some of our modern animal mutilations
much of organized religion
Parasites have striven to appear as gods to man (some of whom they created as slave workers in the mines, known today as a sub-category of the negro race) so that man would worship them, sacrifice animals for them, and pray to them, in effect sending their own astral energy to these parasites, who in turn suckle off this earthly astral energy to maintain their physical solidity in this world, for most parasites are extradimensional creatures on borrowed time and energy.

The Bible warns man not to worship idols, but to pray to the soul (Jesus) within, because praying to an idol means sending your psychic energy outward, ready to be intercepted by any entity with the evil intentions to use it for its own selfish survival.


(Christianity contains contradictory statements within, so it can be assuredly stated that outside of alterations by the Church, several alien factions have played a part in shaping this religion, some of whom include the Nibiruans and Elohim groups.

Nibiruans created man for slave labor and harvesting of astral energy, while the other group impaired the freedom of man to prevent civilization from advancing to a technological level beyond the capability of humans to handle responsibly.

And yet, there are other factions, of whom Jesus was an Ascended Master, which enforce the Law of Freewill and allow man to have all the knowledge he wants as long as he requests it, symbolized by the Serpent tempting Adam to eat from the Tree of Knowledge).


Organized religion is centered around idols, statues, crucifixes, and other things external, and is therefore inherently a scam unless one pays attention to the message of the bible, and not the messenger known as Church.

Negatives are those going against the wheel of life, who try to cheat the rules of the universe, who go on disrupting, destroying and sinning without karmic retribution. They try to be their own gods, masters of their own universes, and are total ego trips.

Of all alien types, these are the most dangerous.

They have, for the past several thousand years, composed an elaborate plan to overthrow the influence of God over their lives and this world such that they may rule without any limitation. In keep with the theme presented in Handbook for the New Paradigm, at the time when the oscillation shall shift from negative to positive, the structure of this world is in a vulnerable state, and negatives will utilize astral energy they reap from the immediate deaths of billions of humans (killed by some method, unknown to the author) to blast the boundary between this dimension and that where the spirits reside.

This will trigger a chain reaction of chaos so thorough in its agitation that the jumbled mess once known as reality will be malleable and moldable enough to recompose into an order designed by the negatives through their collective psychic focus and manifest desire. This recomposed reality will have no Laws of Freewill or Karma, and the negatives may exploit without consequence.

The negatives' subordinates include the next category of aliens, the Resurrectionists.

Last, Resurrectionists are here to fully bring back their ancient masters, whose souls are still trapped in earth's astral field. Back when the alien coalition created mankind, these aliens were either not present or excluded from the program. Resurrectionists did not have the technology to create an entirely new race, so they could only minorly modify humans by either interbreeding with them or with the low tech they possessed.

The story of the Serpent's encounter with Eve is a fable about this event. Today, royal blue-bloods are descendents of the resurrectionist's efforts, and appear as normal white folk, except their DNA is slightly modified to allow incarnation by their alien masters. Most blue-bloods are unaware of their lineage except for a knack for leadership and sociopathic tendencies.

The Illuminati are blue-bloods who have awakened to their identities, and use their illumination and positions of power to steer mankind toward the goals of resurrectionists, namely a New World Order. This is what the eye of lucifer atop the unfinished pyramid on the United States seal stands for.

But because resurrectionist souls are so incompatible with normal human bodies, an entirely new race must be created to allow mass incarnation and existence upon earth. This is what alien abductions are all about. The resurrectionist masters are known collectively as infernals, the leader as Lucifer, and the physical ones as reptoids or sauroids, and their worker automatons as greys.

Greys do the abducting, and the rest follows.

The abduction program, then, is an elaborate plan conducted by the agents of Lucifer, in collaboration with the Illuminati and NWO politicians, to genetically engineer a hybrid race whose bodies will allow only infernal souls to reincarnate on earth... the rest of humanity will be eradicated or kept for slave labor. The existence of Lucifer is logical, for we know that not all entities are equally developed, meaning there must be a highest and weakest of entities, and Lucifer by definition is the most powerful of the negatives.

So those who were excluded from the program originally are looking for payback, and think they can get it if they do it in time.

This has all been allowed to occur because for the past two thousand years, earth's EM grid has been in the negative half of its oscillation, allowing evil entities to infiltrate our reality and screw with our history. But it is all about to change, however, and the cycle shifts back to the good half somewhere around 2012 (perhaps December 21).

If the resurrectionists do not succeed by then, if they fail to root themselves physically in our world, then all is lost for them.

To top it off, they require several of their infernal masters to be born as humans to take the reigns of power as antichrists. But because their reincarnations are premature, if not awkward, it takes much effort to fit an infernal into a human body, like squeezing a fat ass into tight jeans. Therefore, the infusion of human body with infernal soul requires critical astrological alignment, timing, and location on earth (such that the astral and physical planes are closest at that moment and time), so there is a definite deadline for the resurrectionists and NWO to complete their goals.

It is why the NWO must eliminate resistance now rather than wait another twenty years for 100% of humanity to turn to ignorant sheep rather than the present 97% majority, because later will be too late.

If everything goes according to plan, the world will be unified by the human incarnate infernal masters into an NWO to fight the return of positives and defeat them, after which normal humans will be wiped out by disease or systematic mass murder, and finally, the planet will be repopulated by hybrid aliens manufactured through the alien abduction program.

Of course, this is not the way things will happen.

After uniting the world for a while, the antichrist will figuratively be stabbed in the back by rebellious nations, like the (former) United States of America, and another war will break out between pro-NWO and anti-NWO nations. After major loss of life, at the verge of defeat for America, the cycle will have oscillated to a point where the positives enter our dimension and swoop down, defeating the resurrectionists and sending the infernals back to the astral plane.

There is a Law of Non-Interference normally preventing aliens from intervening in anything, but this Law has already been broken by the negatives and resurrectionists, so the positives must come in to equalize the situation.

Then, positive entities will rule for a period of time until the cycle changes again.

So much for Occam's razor.

These are said to be people who have been encountered at times entering or leaving an ’alternate’ or ’parallel’ existence, yet still operating within the ONE ’reality’. It is very unlikely that more than one ’physical reality’ like ours exists, yet there is a theoretical possibility that another CO-EXISTENT ’world’ might exist on the opposite end or polarity of the electromagnetic barrier.

Many humanoid and/or neo-saurian inhabitants of this ’alternate’ world if it exists originally came from our own ’world’ through some type of vortex or through hi-tech means. There are said to be four intersecting "Universes" which make up the "Omniverse".

One is the matter universe, the other is the antimatter universe. The nature of the other two is unknown (perhaps the matter and antimatter universes each have a forward and reverse time-flow phase?) Each of the four universes allegedly have 11 "dimensional densities", with a 12th density which is currently unfolding as a result of super-energies which are emanating from the black holes at the center of the galaxies.

For instance, one airplane pilot who had become temporarily caught up in an EM-vortex in the ’Bermuda Triangle’ SAW an island which was DESERTED, while the very same island was inhabited in the world he was familiar with.

This would also explain the many accounts of people who claim to have seen or stopped at houses, cafes, hotels or other sites along remote stretches of road, only to return the same way and find that no such place ’exists’. Since both dimensions may ’flow-in’ to each other, being part of the same electromagnetic superspectrum , such temporary displacement of objects and/or people from one ’world’ to another might occur.

This is not saying that one necessarily has an alternate ’self’ inhabiting the alternate dimensions, but more a case of other ’dimensions’ or ’universes’ which were inhabited intentionally or unintentionally over a long period of time by humans, animals or ’other beings’ which were somehow transported there.

This would also explain the case of Joseph Vorin, who suddenly appeared as ’out-of- nowhere’ near Frankfurt-am-Oder, Germany in 1850, spoke a broken and ancient para-Germanic dialect which the authorities could just barely understand, and claimed to be from the nation of Laxaria in Sakria (no known country by those names exists -- in ’our world’).

When he suddenly appeared he seemed disoriented and dumbfounded, as if he had suddenly fallen out of ’another’ world.

When you go to graduation you shall not have a grade of 100% of service to others. However, the Creator seems to grade on a curve here. If you even have 51% of service to others, you are ready to graduate. Each time you consciously choose to serve others, you have moved above 51% and into positive polarization comfortably sufficient to graduate from planet Earth. The more habitual your realization of choices is and your determination to choose the highest road, the most compassionate and loving response, the more positively you will be able to affect the tuning of your energy body so that it vibrates more and more in service to others in terms of polarity.

You shall never be able to untangle the good from the evil within humankind, my friends, because you, as a member of the human race, are both good and evil. You contain all the shades of virtue and vice within one global entity.

By a series of choices, you have found ways to be yourself to the outer world and to yourself.

Found this and thought it might be important to draw to your attention:

Effective immediately, LibraryThing will no longer be including lean finely textured beef (commonly referred to as “pink slime”) in any of our products. We have revised all page designs and source code so that this product is no longer required for smooth operation of the site.

Over the past several weeks many members have written to us expressing their concern about the use of boneless lean beef trimmings on LibraryThing. While the USDA and food industry experts agree that lean finely textured beef is perfectly safe, recent media reports have caused considerable consumer concern about this product. We have concluded that in response to member concerns, we must take steps to ensure that this product is not used anywhere on the site, and have worked diligently to make the necessary changes to LibraryThing.com. That process is now complete.

We at LibraryThing would like to thank all those who took the time to express their concerns about this product.

UPDATE: It appears that small quantities of pink slime have continued to seep from the LibraryThing user interface. We blame a supplier, and will be working to remove any and all interface slime as soon as possible.

No it's not real......Happy April Fools Day!

A new teaching from Dharma Sangha is here:

१. बोधी श्रवण धर्म संघमा आवद्ध सम्पूर्ण संघहरु , पदाधिकारिहरु तथा शिष्वत स्वीकार गरि यस सत्य, धर्म , गुरुमार्गको तापोभूमिमा गुरु शरण पर्नु भएको सम्पूर्ण शिष्यहरूलाई समयको आत्यन्तिक बोध गर्दै आजको मितिमा यो संदेश प्रवाह गरिरहेको छु |

bodhi shravan dharma sanghamaa aavaddha sampurna sanghaharu, padadhikariharu tatha shishvat svikar gari yas satya, dharma, gurumaargako taapobhumima guru saran parnu bhaeko sampurna shishyaharulaii samayako aatyantika bodh gardai aajako mitima yo sandesh pravaha gariraheko chhu.

1. The Guru, accepting all the engaged Sanghas, Officers and surrounding disciples in Bodhi Shravan Dharma Sangha, and having taken refuge in this Truth, the Dharma, the GuruMarga’s (GuruPath) sphere of ascetic practice; I, understanding the extremity of the time, am conveying this message on today’s date to all the disciples.

२. सर्वप्रथम संघहरुले साँच्चै बोध गर्नु पर्ने कुरा सत्य, धर्म, गुरु को हुनुहुन्छा ? गुरु मार्ग भन्नाले के बुझिन्छ ?

sarvaprathama sanghaharule sancchai bodhi garnu parne kura satya, dharma, guru ke hunuhuncha? guru maarga bhannale ke bujhincha?

2. First of all, the Sanghas must have a real understanding such as what is Truth, Dharma, and the Guru? What is meant by GuruMarga (The GuruPath)?

३. सबै संघहरुले एक भावना आन्त :स्थलमा राखेर गुरुलाई सर्व स्वीकार गरि मैत्री भावनाले परस्पर हुनु पर्दछ अथवा गुरु र शिष्य बिचको सम्बन्धलाई गाँस्ने आस्था , विश्वास र श्रद्धा जस्ते सेतुहरुलाई आत्मासात् गरि सर्वसमर्पणको भावले गाँस्नुपर्द्छ |

sabai sanghaharule ek bhavanaa aanta: stalamaa raakhera gurulai sarva svikaara gari maitri bhavanale paraspar hunu pardcha aathava guru ra shishya bichko sambandhalai gaansne aastha, vishvas ra shraddha jaste setuharulai aatmaasaat gari sarvasamaparnako bhaavle gansnupardcha.

3. All Sanghas must join together with the essence of complete surrender being of one spirit within, keeping to the point, completely accepting the Guru, reciprocating the Maitri feeling; in other words, the connection between the Guru and disciple is joined together with faith, trust, and devotion acting as assimilating links.

४. जो हुन नसक्दा गुरुधर्म प्रति नै प्रश्न लागि रहेछ |

jo huna nasakda gurudharma prati nai prashna laagi rahecha.

4. For those who cannot be this way, questions concerning Guru Dharma (the Guru’s teaching) keep on arising.

५. यो अति संवेदनाशील सम्बन्ध र समयलाई भाबदुष्टि गर्दै अबको समयदेखि सम्पूर्णरुपले संघको समस्त जीम्मेवारी गुरु स्वयंले लिनु हुनेछ |

yo ati sanvedanaashiila sambandha ra samayalai bhavadushti gardai abako samayadekhi sampurnarupale sanghako samasta jimmevaari guru svayanle linu hunecha.

5. The Guru himself will take complete responsibility for all the formations of the Sangha from now on as these relationships are extremely sensitive and at times there are bad feelings.

६.गुरुले संघ विस्तार गरेर धर्म फैलाउनु हुने हो, मान्छेको भीइ होईन, अत्यथा गुरु धर्म माथि वा लाग्ते प्रश्न कहिल्यै उत्तरित हुने छैन |

gurule sangha vistaara garera dharma phailaunu hune ho, maancheko bhii hoiina, atyathaa gurudharma maathi vaa laagte prashna kahiilyai uttarit hune chaina.

6. The Guru expanding the Sangha, the Dharma will be spread, not a crowd of people, otherwise the Guru Dharma cannot be assimilated and arising adharmic questions can never be answered.

७. आजको यस क्षणसम्म भन्नैपर्दा हरपल हरसमय गुरुबाट यहि वचन र संदेश निरन्तर प्रवाह नभएको पनि होर्हन |

aajako yas kshanasamma bhannaiparda harapala harasamaya gurubaata yahi vachan ra sandesh nirantar pravaha nabhaeko pani hoiina.

7. That which has been spoken today until this point,

every second, every time, was not able to be steadily conveyed, even this very speech and message from the Guru.

८.वर्षी बित्यो सत्य गुरु तपईहरुको समू छ |

varshai bityo satya guru tapaiiharuko samu cha.

8. Years having gone by, the True Guru is in front of you.

९. तर बिडम्बना मा देख्दैछु |

tara bidambanaa ma dekhdaichhu.

9. But I am seeing the irony.

१०. क्लेशले लिप्त भएको चित्ताहरुको दशा, नाम, यश, कुतिको निमित्त लयलित भावहरु अहंकारलाई पोषण पुग्ने आचरण र भाव भड़ीगमाहारू |

kleshale lipta bhaeko cittaharuko dashaa, nam, yasha, kutiko nimitt layalita bhaavaharu ahankaaralai poshna pugne aacarana ra bhaav bhangimaharu.

10. There are states of mind indulging in defilement where behavior and sentiments are displayed with jealous feelings feeding the ego for the sake of status, name, fame, and reputation.

११ . सत्य गुरु मार्ग रुप लिर्ह गुरु आउँदा पनि नदेख्नेहरु युगों पछि सत्य धम्मको देशना हुँदा पनि नासुन्नेहरु |

satya guru maarga rupa lii guru aaunda pani nadekhreharu yugon pachhi satya dhammale deshanaa hunda pani naasunneharu.

11. The Guru who comes embodied as the True GuruPath is not even able to be seen, and, after ages, the preaching of the True Dhamma is not even heard.

१२. संघ भनेको ज्योति सरह तेज, प्रकाशवान, एक रुप एक भावना हुनु पर्दछ, क्लेश भेदभाव र मतभेद रहित |

sangha bhaneko jyoti saraha tej, prakashavaan, ek rup ek bhaavana hun pardcha, klesh bhedabhaav ra matabhed rahit.

12. Being called Sangha, one must be as a beacon of light, of one form and one feeling, without defilements, favoritism and discord.

१३. गुरुको आफूनो धर्म छ, शिष्यहरू प्रति, संघहरु प्रति, अस्तित्व प्रति र गुरुहरु प्रति, गुरुले वचन गरिरहँदाकों क्षण अस्तित्वगत हुन्छ, त्यसको गहनता र जटिलता बुझ्नु-नबुझ्नु आफूनै हातमा छ |

guruko aaphuno dharma cha, shishyaharu prati, sanghaharu prati, astitva prati ra guruharu prati, gurule vachan garirahundaako kshana astitvagat huncha, tyasko gahanataa ra jatilataa bujhnu-nabujhnu aaphunai haatamaa cha.

13. The Guru has his own duty, towards the disciples, towards the Sanghas, towards all existence, towards the gurus; when a speech is given by the Guru it is a foundational moment: the intensity and complexity of understanding or not understanding depends upon one’s own interest.

१४ . गुरु समीप आईपुग्दा कस्ते अवसत्या हुनु पर्दछ चित्तको ?

guru samipa aarhapugdaa kasto avastya hunu pardcha cittako?

14. The Guru having approached near, what state of mind must one be in?

१५. के उद्देश्य र लक्ष्य लिनु पर्दछ ?

ke uddeshya ra lakshya linu pardcha?

15. What purpose and aim must one have?

१६. कस्तो तत्वको खोज र आशा राख्नु पर्दछ ?

kasto tatvako khoj ra aashaa rakhnu pardcha?

16. How must one hold onto the quest and hope of the Essence?

१७. संघहरुले गुरुको गरिमामय, अलौकिक शान्त, शीतल तथा विरोधाभाषी उपस्थितिको बोध गनु सक्नु पर्दछ |

sanghaharule guruko garimaamaya alaukik shaant, shiital tatha virodhabhashi upasthitiko bodh garnu saknu pardcha.

17. The Sanghas have to be able to realise the Guru’s dignified, celestial, peaceful, calm and seemingly controversial presence.

१८. आफूनो संसारिक तर्क, विशलेषण, धूर्तता, डु :ख, पीडा, तुच्छ बुद्धिमत्तालाई नकारेर गुरुको उपस्थिति र वचनलाई पूर्ण निष्ठा र आस्थाल सर्व स्वीकार गरि श्रवण गर्नु पर्दछ, गुरुसंग भेट हुंदाको क्षण, समयको मुल्याड़ाकन र आत्मबोध कुनै एकाध सच्चा शिष्य वा संघलाई होला, तर प्रायजसो म देख्दैछु: शिष्य संघहरुलाई स्वयं आफैलाई थाह छैन, उ कहाँ छ ? कुन अवस्था र स्थानमा छ ?

aaphune sansarik tark, vishaleshana, dhurtata, dukha, pida, tuccha budhhimattalai nakarera guruko upasthiti ra vachanlaii purna nishta ra aasthala sarva svikaar gari shravan garnu pardcha, gurusanga bhet hundaako kshana, samayako mulyaadakan ra aatmabodh kunai ekadh saccha shishya vaa sanghalaii hola, tara prayajaso ma dekhdaichhu: shishya sanghaharulaii svayan aaphailaii thaha chaina, u kahan cha? kun avastha ra sthanma cha?

18. With absolute dedication and faith, one has to completely accept and heed the Guru`s presence and eloquence by denying one`s own worldly logic, analysis, deceptiveness, sorrow, suffering, and mean intellect. There are hardly any true disciples or Sangha who are aware of the self and the value of the time at the moment of meeting with the Guru. But, as I see often, disciples or the Sanghas do not know themselves personally: where they are, or which state and position they are in.

१९ . कसको अगाडि छ र के गर्नु पर्चा ? के बोल्नु पर्दछ ? कुन विषलाई जोड दिनु पर्दछ ? इत्यादि |

kasako agaadi cha ra ke garnu pachi? ke bolnu pardcha? kun vishalaii jod dinu pardcha? ityaadi.

19. How is one to proceed, and what to do afterwards? What ought to be said? Which subject ought to be stressed and so forth.

२०. तर फेरी पनि गुरुलाई विश्वास छ, तपईहरु सत्य गुरु सामु सत्य संघको रुप अनुसरण गर्नु हुनेछ र भ्रमको भाव सागरबाट मुक्त हुनु हुनेछ |

tara pheri pani gurulaii visvaas cha, tapaiharu satya guru saamu satya sanghako rup anusaran garnu hunecha ra bhramako bhaav sagarbaata mukta hunu hunecha.

20. But again, believe the Guru and you will follow the form of the Real Sangha in front of the True Guru, and you will be freed from the worldly ocean of illusion.

२१. अन्यथा अर्को विकल्प छैन | दुई मा एक सत्य मार्ग कि भ्रम ? संघ विस्तार गर्नु नै छ | धर्मलाई शिखरको उत्कर्षमा पुग्नु नै छ |

anyatha arko vikalpa chaina. dui maa ek satya maarga ki bhrama? sangha vistaara garnu nai cha. dharmalaii shikharko utkarshama pugnu nai cha.

21. Otherwise there is no other alternative. The Sangha is expanded only on one out of two paths: is it the True Path or the False one? Only the highest standards will fulfill the Dharma.

२२. तर शुद्धता र तत्व सहित संख्यात्मक रुपले नभएर तत्वलाई जीवन्त राख्दै गुणस्तर रुपले |

tara shuddhata ra tatva sahit sankhyatmaka ruple nabhaera tatvalaii jivanta rakhdai gunastara ruple.

22. But Purity and Essence are not with a quantifiable form, it is the quality of their form that keeps the Essence animated.

२३. जसको निमित्त तपईहरुलाई यो शीलहरु आताम्सात गरि बोध गर्नको लागि दिइरहेको छु |

jasko nimitt tapaiharulaii yo shiilharu aatamsaat gari bodh garnako laagi diiraheko chhu.

23. To this end, I have been giving all of you these precepts to assimilate and understand.

*******************************************

२४. संघ भनेर नामाकरण गर्नको निमित्त अन्तत : संघहरुमा यो शीलाहरुको सुगन्ध हुनु पर्दछ, अन्यथा यसलाई संघ भनेर नामाकरण गर्न सकिदैन |

sangha bhanera naamaakaran garnako nimitt antata: sanghaharumaa yo shiilaharuko sugandha hunu pardcha, anyatha yaslaii sangha bhanera naamaakaran barna sakidaina.

24. For the Sangha finally to be called by this name, the essence of these precepts must be in the Sanghas, otherwise, the Sangha as such cannot be observed to be called by this name.

२५. संघहरुले सत्य धर्मको मार्गको अनुसरण गर्दै गुरुमार्गको शील पालना गरेर गुरु, धर्म, संघ प्रति दायित्व र कर्तव्य पूर्ण निष्टका साथ पूर्ति गरेर क्लेश मुक्त सैत्रीको संघ विस्तार गर्ने प्रण गर्नु पर्नेछ, त्यस संघहरुलाई केवल यो बरु मार्गले अंगीकार गरि स्वागत गर्ने छ, संघ बिस्तार र धर्म विस्तारको निमित्त अधिकार सम्पन्न गरि गुरु स्व्यम्बता प्रमाणित धम्मपत्र प्रदान गरिनेछ |

sanghaharule satya dharmako maargako anusaran gardai gurumaargako shiila palana garera guru, dharma, sangha prati daayitva ra kartavya purna nishtakaa saatha purti gari klesha mukta maitriko sangha vistaara garne pran garnu pardcha, tyas sanghaharulaii kevala yo guru maargale angikaara gari svaagat garne cha, sangha bistaara ra dharma vistar ko nimitt adhikar sampann gari guru svyambata pramanit dhammapatra pradan garinechha.

25. To cultivate the precepts of the GuruPath, the Sanghas adhering to the path of True Dharma accomplish their responsibility and duty towards the Guru, the Dharma, and the Sangha with complete dedication. To expand the Sangha of Maitri free from defilement, one has to be determined; none other than by embracing this path will the Sangha be welcomed. For empowering the authorisation of the expansion of the Sangha and Dharma, the Guru is delivering the Dhamma letter certified by himself.

२६. त्यस धम्म पत्रको अवधि प्रत्येक तीन महिनामा पुन: प्रमाणित गरिनु पर्दछ, तथा आस्था विश्वास र श्रद्धाको अति सम्बेदनशील सेतुले जोडिएको यो धम्मपत्र जोति बलियो छ, त्यति नै कमजोर पनि हुन सक्छ |

Tyas Dhamma patra ko avadhi pratyek tin mahinaamaa puna: pramaanit garinu pardcha, tatha aastha vishvaas ra shraddhako ati sambedanashiila setule jodieko yo dhammapatra jati baliyo cha, tyati nai kamajora pani huna sakcha.

26. This Dhamma Letter’s period is to be certified after every third month and this Dhamma Letter is expressing itself for uniting the extremely sensitive bridge of faith, belief and devotion, to the extent that it can also be weak.

२७. सबै संघहरु स्वयंमा निर्भर छ | जसरी सताकर्मा गरेर गुरुमार्गको अनुसरण गरेमा बन्धनबाट मुक्त हुन सकिन्छ त्यसरी नै विपरित गएमा टीक विपरित परिणाम पनि भोग्नै पर्ने हुन्छ |

sabai sanghaharu svayanmaa nirbhara cha. jasri sataakarmaa garera gurumaargako anusaran garemaa bandhabaata mukta huna sakincha tyasari nai viparit garemaa tik viparit parinaam pani bhognai parne huncha.

27. All Sanghas depend upon themselves. Just as by doing virtuous deeds by following the Way of the Guru one is able to be freed from bondage, in the same way by doing the opposite, one experiences the exact opposite result.

२८.. भन्नै पर्दा सत्य धम्मको शीसनमा गल्ति शब्द नै अटाउँदैन तर केवल गुरु धर्मको कारण आज फेरी यो अवसर पाउनु भएको छ, गुरुलाई विश्वास छ यो अवसरको पूर्ण लाभ संघहरुले लिनु हुनेछ साथै संघहरुलाई अबका सारा संघ विस्तार, निर्माण कार्य, प्रचारप्रसार तथा सनदेश सूचना प्रवाहको सर्वाधिकार यसै हलखोरिया केन्द्रीय कार्यालयमा निहित गर्दै सम्पूर्ण कार्यहरु एकलैटी हलखोरियाको कर्ययोचना तथा गुरु वचनबाट मात्र गर्ने गराउने यहि मिति २०६८ /१०/१४ गति देखि समस्त संघहरुलाई जानकारी गराउँदछु |

bhannai parda satya dhammako shisanamaa galti shabda nai ataaundaina tara kevala guru dharmako kaarana aaja pheri yo avasar paaunu bhaeko cha,gurulaii vishvas cha yo avasarako purna laabh sanghaharule linu hunecha saathai sanghaharulaii abakaa saaraa sangha vistaara, nirman kaarya, pracaaraprasaar tathaa sandesh suchanaa pravaahako sarvaadhikaar yasai halkhoriyaa kendriya kaaryalayamaa nihit gardai sampurna kaaryaharu ekdlaidi halkhoriyako karyayocana tathaa guru vachanbaata matra garne garaaune yahi miti 2068/10/14 gati dekhi samasta sanghaharulaii jaanakari garaaundachhu.

28. Having said that, in the True Dhamma’s supremacy wrong words cannot be supported at all, but only because of the Guru Dharma is this opportunity obtained again today. Believe the Guru and the Sangha will get the complete benefit of this opportunity. Also, with this, I am informing all the Sanghas that from this date of 2068/10/14 (2012/1/28) onwards, reserving all the rights of the Sanghas’ present expansion of each Sangha, construction work, promotion and advertising, and spreading messages and notification in Halkhoriya`s central office, all such works are to be performed by the workers of Halkhoriya alone and only from the statement of the Guru.

Channeling of Sanat Kumara Through Athene Raefiel August 2011

Dear precious beings of Light and Love. As you approach the ending to another year in 3D time you find that much unexpected adventures and also powerful initiations have filled your entire year up till now. There is more to come.

From the year 2008 earth time to the year 2013 the tumultuous planetary effects will continue to move the energies along. You have already discovered that you are reaching new heights in your meditations and consciousness. This time has been spoken of previously as the time of things never before seen or experienced by any on the planet.

Of course this is a bit embellished as there are always ascended ones in your presence and upon your planet who have attended and do attend all the Councils of Light, The Brotherhood of Light and all Galactic Councils.

To sum things up let us look at the progression of spiritual evolution now taking place in all dimensions. As many of you have heard before, it is imperative for one dimension to evolve in order for another to evolve. When you call upon our assistance and find your higher- self working with us you discover that you all are part of the great unique unit of life that continually expands and grows. For those of you who understand and use this concept as a way of life nothing under the sun is really new, simply different.

Our channel tells us that she is waking up in a different world of existence every day. Some nights she wishes not to sleep as she finds peace in the world and dimension of thought she discovered that very day. Holding the memory of one day versus another is currently near impossible. This is how quickly the Universe and Energies are currently shifting. Each day is filled with a vast array of energy transmissions and transitional forces that apply in all areas and lives. What could be created in a month or year or over a lifetime is now apparent in a matter of minutes.

Each of you working within creation to create anew is finding elements of life and self you never imagined. You are also finding that this great revolution in the timing of humankind is and can be vicious without the proper training of emotional and mental thought processes. So many days you wonder how one person can make a difference in all of the chaos surrounding them and the world today. Remember that one strong emanation of loving light and understanding is far greater than ten thousand who are not of such. Power is relative. What you understand to be powerful is often the illusion that life around you brings forward and enmeshes you within as a web catches a fly. Some of you tell us that it is harder and harder to stay centered and aligned. You tell us the energies are moving so rapidly that there is nothing to hold onto or maintain as a template for tomorrow or another time. All this is true, the ever-changing nature of the Universe and Life right now seem to be a bit unnerving to the observer. Rather than observing you must participate and hold the essence of truth and light already discovered as your template for success. Stop stressing over what you do not know and start taking stock of what you do.

All the exercises and tools that you have gathered over the course of time will take you to new heights in awareness and understanding just as they have always done. We are still here and part of your consciousness just as you are ours. This journey you call life is and always has been connected to us and all other life.

This essence, this energy of change and transition, is currently accelerated to a pace never before participated in by you. Simply because you do not remember it does not mean it is not known and real. Even though you have moved through great hardships and challenging times of survival still you fear the unknown? What of all the newness to be created by you in the months and years ahead?

Since the only constant in the Universe is change, life too must change every day. You can depend on it. Yet how often do you embrace change as a way of life and being? So many of you have prayed for the changes now occurring to implement themselves and change the structures of governments and men. Yet you find that these very changes have impacted your personal lives as well, and with that you are not necessarily pleased. How could any one major area of life and liberty change without it affecting the whole?

Yes there are powerful changes yet to come and it is not necessarily going to become easier to be living a human existence. Yet each day holds its own newness and rewards. Flowing with the times and the changes are mandatory to your survival issues. You are never too old or stuck to learn some new things and transition into areas of life that are productive, fulfilling and practical. There is no time to separate and disseminate yourself now from the cosmic flow of life that is transitioning through so many phases and stages. All is already ordered and you are required to re-wire yourself if you feel you are being left behind.

I cannot stress enough the importance of changing old programs and creating ones that are more aligned to your true inner beingness of love and understanding. Fear is an awesome creature that consumes and then belches out the smoke. Fear feeds on the unexpected in life like it is a disease, which it is not. Fear is the greatest illusion you currently face and it is currently on a feeding frenzy. What you fear, you already know and understand, you simply have not yet remembered this truth.

You must all begin to speak with yourselves asking what am I truly afraid of and why? Well to answer this question briefly, all fear is based on the experiences that bad things happen in life every day. So feeding strongly into this belief system and condition simply perpetuates its truth and makes it reality. Is that what you want to be your reality? You cannot claim to be an authentic being that lives in truth and awareness when you choose to feed the very animal that is destroying mankind and your planet.

Good that you were created in the Divine image, now just imagine the Holy of Holies feeding the very beast wanting to consume it for supper later. This would never occur. Where to begin to re-wire and structure your knowing and loving awareness is the key to surviving and ascending this round or incarnation known as the physical life.

You actually live in so many worlds of thought and consciousness that you are creating realities in many levels and dimensions of not only thought, emotion and body, but also the etheric, astral, casual and celestial. Focus your attention now on the fact that you are the creator of the Universe and Cosmos and tell us what you see the future hold for that. Yes it is true that we are here to assist you with the vision of truth and light but to believe that you can create a better life and future through fear is just dysfunctional imbalance. You have seen this done over and over again by governing bodies and peoples around you and the world, how is that to produce the new changes of loving light and awareness needed to bring back the balance of love and fear?

We say unto you; trust is the element in this lifetime that is missing. Trust has been demolished by powers of money, avarice and greed, and continues to overtake the good of the many for the sake of the few. And as the times get harder monetarily, more and more teachings of how to create money, wealth and success become the big sellers.

There is nothing wrong with abundance and growth, just as there is nothing wrong with discovering your true self and path of soul evolution. There is no judgment on our part, just simply dismay as we watch so many fall prey to a past reality that really never existed to begin with. Unfortunately in your 3d world seeing is believing and having the important creature comforts helps one to believe in the ultimate true realities while others struggle to climb the ladder of success.

There are always opportunities for transition and change, even in the 3D world. You may have to change your perception and re-educate yourselves, in the academics of life on your planet to take advantage of them, but what do you think all your spiritual training has been about? While you were changing yourselves on the inside the outside world took a curve and also changed. Would you deny this to be true? No of course not. So as the leaders of the New Age of Enlightenment why are you giving up and feeding the fear with all those who believe that the Universe is unsympathetic and does not care and provide. We cannot do it for you but we certainly will do it with you, while seeing you through this primary time of acceleration and change.

You are all awesome and so intelligent. Through self-discovery you know what your own talents and abilities are about and how they can bring relief to a world in pain and turmoil. Find a way to use your natural abilities. Discover placements in jobs and life that you may think yourself above and understand that what matters is that the entire job of transformation of planet and peoples continue. Get out of your own way by idealizing yourself to be greater than anything or anyone else. Nirvana is a state of consciousness not necessarily a current way of life on your planet.

You are the representatives of the Universal Laws, truths and awareness that are needed to uproot the very indigent weeds that have taken hold of nearly every element of life in the solid earth plane. To go off to the mountain tops and caves now to be solitary is not going to help the mass consciousness change its perception.

Many of you have been asking to move, or be moved, too much quieter and safer havens as the changes accelerate in the so called “everyday world’. So long as you understand that no matter where you go you are necessary part of the changes that will bring about the new perceptions that is fine. If you think you have moved beyond the need to be of service to the whole, please think again. No matter where you re-locate in this world your services will be needed and your path will still remain your path. Make yourselves happy.

There is but one truth in life. You are that truth, we are that truth and truth is that truth. Truth being ever expansive and ultimately the only serenity you have in life, would you not prefer that it be known by all, rather than the selective few? Yes it has been prophesied many times that a certain number of beings will ascend and find salvation with the divine in each incarnation, your soul group decided it could be done on a much larger scale. Now you must follow through and aid in the changes that have been brought forth to assist the many.

Your very thoughts and actions determine the path in the future for the many. If you give up on your vision in middle stream, simply because of survival stigmatisms, what are you teaching others? There is no giving up only surrender. Surrender is actually a form of integration that goes a long way towards healing the whole. When you understand that forgiveness and surrender are the most powerful tools in your toolbox you will utilize their exquisite powers more readily and often.

Look at the wars that have been fought with love and compassion, look at Gandhi and Tibet. What can you discover from such experiences? Because others were more vicious and unaware, have they truly succeeded in undoing the loving truths of goodness, compassion and diplomatic understanding? No, what has happened is the Spiritual warrior has become more aware but has still not lost its focus of love.

A Laureate of Peace the Dali Lama has had a great impact on the minds and feeling of the Human race as has the great Gandhi. Can one person make a difference? We think so, do you? Yes this is a time of war among the beings of your planet, but that does not mean the spiritual warrior has lost its power or place in the immediate whole of all that transpires. Your energies are needed more than ever before in this lifetime at least since 1969. When you decide that being a spiritual warrior is waste of time and that you give into the daily pain of the world you are leaving thousands of souls without the energy and hope that they need. Please think again. For each one of you are a power beyond explanation and needed very much for the continuing cycles of change to come.

Why me, why this lifetime, why is life so hard? What difference does it make? Life is what it is and the sooner you accept the reality of who and what you are the sooner you will get on with it. We are currently in a non-stop cycle. Dwelling in the past or vacillating on what will come is a waste of time and energy.

Open yourselves, create, explore and find the adventure in your life. Making everything work is a human condition... Do what you know needs to be done for the sake of doing it and understand that this is part of the plan and nature in the 3D? Yes everyone like you has moved to the Fourth Dimension or the Heart of understanding unconditional Love as well as balancing it with Conditional Love but if others cannot get there then what accomplishments will you herald at the time of your crossing wanting to ascend?

Yes being in the now is exquisite and beautiful but if you are not in good company who is there to share with? You know that within the Spiritual realms we all work together as brothers and sisters of Love and Light, yet you think there is some magic individualization that we have not told you about. This is not true. All things here are connected and work as one. This awareness and understanding is what makes the truth what it is. The whole is no greater than the sum of its parts. The “All” is the “Whole” but what makes it so is the parts. Play your part with honor and integrity. Honor your own intuition and open your heart to the new levels of awareness and understanding now presenting themselves. Do not let the threat of survival shut down anything or everything you have attained and worked for so many incarnations simply because it is an old genetic memory that you feel you cannot shake. That memory is a lie.

Quit perpetuating the lie and return to the pristine state of loving light and awareness you know to be truth. Time in your 3D world is of the essence. Great changes are in store for each of you and the Planet as a whole. Stay on board.

By Athene Raefiel

Mother Earth is trying to balance herself. She has and will always do what is necessary to harmonize the nature of the Planet. The news media portrays her to be cruel and violent when in reality she is simply doing what any other Mother would do to protect her abode and young life.
We are merely at the beginning of what will be world conflict brought about by natures need to harmonize and balance. Rather than us killing, torturing, creating wars and fighting for the greatest power and wealth we need to be unifying as a world in crisis to save ourselves and the planet. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this fact; it is plain as day.

The Andes Indians came down out of the mountains in about 1995 to tell us of the devastation humans were creating to nature and her cycle of life. Many did not even know these people existed or that they had been living in the mountains there in natural harmony with the Earth for thousands of years.

Landmasses started moving when the large underwater Earthquakes began setting off Tsunamis in between 2001 and 2004. Old Volcanoes coming back to life after lying dormant for thousands of years is going to continue as the water levels continue to rise and we are having more and more earthquakes world wide.

When Earthquakes occur on the Ocean Floors then the floors begin shifting. This sets off massive changes globally. It is a domino effect, a chain reaction of sorts. Since the Ocean floors make up two thirds of our Planet Earth they are sure to effect all and everything else on the planet.

Since species upon species of Aquatic Sea life has been becoming extinct, the oceans have created a momentum to save themselves. The waters have the greatest power known to this planet and all of its life. The oceans can supply us with all the power needed to heat homes, run vehicles, create electricity and feed us, yet we fill it debris trash, oil spills and over-fishing as well as over-hunting for hides and trinkets we do not need.

If there were a conspiracy theory, I think I would say that we are all living a lie perpetrated by great minds who see the developing world as an entity unto itself that can control not only nature itself but also the nature of life living upon it.

If the greatest wealth in the world is actually distributed between less than one percent of the population then for those few there would be little to gain if it were not for free trade, market and big oil.

The United States has all the resources it needs to take care of itself and yet we depend on other nations for almost all of our food, clothing and practical needs. Survival has become such a powerful entity in our life that we no longer have time to be with ourselves or by ourselves. We have no time to relax and enjoy family, to plant some vegetables and enjoy a sunrise or sunset. While in many third world countries people are being starved and tortured, babies thrown in boiling water and killed simply because others can do it to them without fear of reprimand.

We have lost our balance as a civilized world and we have lost our way as Divine Beings. Everyone has an agenda and almost all believe they are the only righteous ones in Gods eyes.

All wars continue to be about Religion, Resources or Simple insanity. War has no common sense value at all nor does it serve any true Divine Entity. It is always selfish and never selfless except for the warriors dying.

Where is the conscience of the world? When did we quit believing that each and every person has a responsibility to Mother Earth and Nature to honor the life within and upon it?

Depression, sadness and mental illness are becoming a way of life for massive amounts of people. Animals are losing their sense of direction and becoming more violent as humans lead the way. Some species even of insects have just decided to become extinct as they too no longer sense the beauty and love of nature necessary for them to survive.

We as lightworkers have nothing to work with but the Light and Love of the Divine. We are Spiritual warriors fighting always an uphill battle for a place at the table that will allow us to be heard amid the brain jamming devices as well as the brainwashing that accompanies the masses.

Yes we have Nobel Peace Laureates that we adore and appreciate, but by and of themselves, they too must continually battle energies that find them to be a threat to the very core of the negative power structure.

The poles are shifting ladies and gentlemen at an unprecedented rate, see (http://www.greatdreams.com/spinaxis.htm ) just as the glaciers are melting. www.sciencedaily.com/, http://spaceweather.com/ Here are a few other websites to tell you about Solar activity and other Earth Changes as well.

I share these things with you not to frighten you but to educate. Too many of my friends have already quit reading, National Geographic, watching the news or even reading a newspaper, because they feel they are better off just not knowing the truth of the 3D world around them. I do not believe the answers lie in burying my head in the sand.

Human consciousness is strong my friend and every one of us have the potential to change our own consciousness in order to effect the whole.

We must re-program our own thinking, feeling and believing in order to stay on track. There are many beings that have moved into the awareness that they're energetic beings of consciousness over this past century. Some have chosen to live lives as peaceful warriors away from the fray of the rest. I do not believe this an option for me this lifetime. I believe that we must educate and inspire more and more individuals to find consciousness and learn to use it to change the world happenings.

We as a unit within the Divine Light of Source and all of its Hierarchies and Galactic Brotherhoods have the power to shift the Earth and its inhabitants to a new evolutionary path. We may not be able to stop the devastation that will be wrought by Mother Earth to re-balance herself but we can help her as well all species of life still upon her but we must act daily.

Suggestions for Daily Living:

Teach and share only what you practice yourself.

Recycle and reuse at every opportunity, be the example.

Each day you go outside greet the sky the earth the trees the animals and pay honor to Earth, Air fire and Water, North, East South and West.

Avoid wastefulness.

Change your thoughts to positive thoughts if they tell you negative things.

Do affirmations for the beauty and love you want and need in your life.

Look through anothers eyes before you judge.

Take time to breathe and be with yourself.

Learn to like and love yourself.

Learn to Meditate and discover multi-dimentional thought and knowingness.

Anchor Light and Love each morning and night.

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.
