On December 12th, 2012, we enter into the Twelfth Initiatory Gateway of Light through the Overlighting of all the Illumined Beings of Light from On High, our Beloved I Am Presence, Mother/Father God and the twelfth ray of One Unity Consciousness. The twelfth ray of Unity Consciousness or Christ Consciousness is the golden ray of the Age of Aquarius, and holds the predominant focus of integrating and transcending the dualities of humanity for the experience of One Unity Consciousness in this new Golden Age of Light. When we talk about "Christ Consciousness" we are referring to the state of Divine Perfection, illuminating intelligence, wisdom, Love, peace, empowerment, abundance, creativity and harmony that is inherently the birthright of every Soul in Creation.
As we experience the 12-12-12 Gateway of One Unity Consciousness, we are downloaded and activated with the new Earth Templates and ascension codes for this Golden Age of Light. This majestic Now moment is experienced through the 144 Unity Grid of Divine Love, as the twelve major Golden Solar Sun Disc discs receive the emanating Liquid Light crystalline star codes and vortex templates from the Crysto-Sun Disc, a dimensional template regulator, which activates through the Sun Discs and master crystals into the Unity Grid of Divine Love and from here, into all crystalline vortices, leylines, sacred sites, portals and stargates of Light, culminating in the completion of the new crystalline geometries of Light within the Unity Grid.
In this grand Cosmic alignment of Light, as the 12-12-12 Gateway of One Unity Consciousness is experienced through the new Earth Templates and Unity Grid, we experience all twelve dimensions of Light, the activation of our twelve strand DNA and the alignment of the twelve body chakra system blending into one unified chakra column of Light, taking us into Unity Consciousness. This state of non-duality is the "Pathway of Transcendence" into this Golden Christ Light that dissolves and transmutes all false beliefs, judgments, old cellular memories and programs that no longer serve us. Forgiveness, compassion, empowerment, Divine Love and Unity Consciousness become our guiding Light as we co-create Heaven on Earth through the Cosmic Heart of all Creation as The High Priest in this initiation of Light.
As we merge with our Beloved I Am Presence in this Now, we are able to actualize our Soul frequency signatures as these sacred transfiguring Flames of Divine Love and Master Beings of Light, and truly experience ourselves as the I Am Avatar race, in Divine Love and in service to Mother Earth and all her Life. Additionally we experience the sacred re-union of our Divine Masculine and Feminine archetypes of Light, in wholeness and unconditional Love.
From a Cabalistic perspective as Initiates of Light, we experience this twelfth ray of One Unity Consciousnessthrough the Sephirah Chokmah, Wisdom, in Jacob's ladder. Chokmah can be seen as the emanating seed of thought, a vesica piscis, creating Light, and bringing about the Flower of Life through the Divine emanations of the twelve rays, and the dynamic influence of the Zodiac. Chokmah is described as the "Great Stimulator of the Universe", and ancient texts speak of Chokmah as "Illuminating Intelligence" and the "Crown of Creation". The twelfth ray is represented by the magical image of a bearded male figure, a mature male. Seated in wisdom and maturity, we are the Divine vessels of Light, having integrated the dualities inherent on this Earth plane into One Unity Consciousness. And now, through the removal of all bands of forgetfulness for all time, space and dimensions, we experience zero point energy, the energy of Divine, unconditional Love existing in the fifth dimension and beyond.
As we experience the new Earth Templates and geometries of Light, we are invited into the Ascension Seats within Arcturus, the Pleiades, Sirius, Andromeda and the Kingdoms of Light within Orion respectively, so we may download all keycodes, fire letters and sacred geometries through these Portals of Light and our Beloved Star Families of the Light, to be anchored and activated through the One Unity Grid of Divine Love, so that all Life may potentially experience themselves eternally within the Cosmic Heart of Mother/Father God.
As we prepare for the dimensional shift through the doorways of our heart's and the Galactic Center on 12-21-12, we have the ability to activate of our Light Bodies/Merkabas and the Light Body/Merkaba field of Mother Earth, amplified through the 33 Cosmic Portals of Light experienced at that time. And we do so, knowing that we are already ascended. We are the Ascended Masters assisting Mother Earth and all her Life to experience this new Golden Age of Light. We are the I Am Avatar race. And so it is. Welcome to the new Golden Age of Light.

Welcome, sweet ones. It gives us great pleasure to be with you in this Now, as you move into this grand alignment of Light, this ascension process, the 12:12:12 Gateway of One Unity Consciousness. Sweet ones, you have been in preparation for this Now moment, not only for eons of time, but indeed amplified throughout this last year following the 11:11:11 Gateway of Divine Love and the embrace of the Divine Feminine, merging into the energy of this year of the Divine Masculine and the Twelfth Ray of One Unity Consciousness. And it is this Twelfth Ray of One Unity Consciousness, of Christ Consciousness, that comes into completion through the Unity Grid of Divine Love on 12:12:12, sweet ones. As you are downloaded and activated with the new Earth Templates and ascension codes of this Golden Age of Light, through the Crysto-Sun Disc, and the twelve major golden Solar Sun Disc discs, receiving the emanating frequencies of these star codes and vortex templates, truly you will experience these geometries of Light that are being activated through the Unity Grid of Divine Love taking you into the experience of Heaven on Earth, sweet ones. When we talk about Unity Consciousness, sweet ones, we talk about this non-duality consciousness and "Path of Transcendence"; and how this experienced, is looking at all Life through your Master eyes and being able to shift your consciousness into the higher dimensions, and to experience the Cosmic Heart of Mother/Father God. And this is happening for you now, sweet ones, as the old cellular memories, false beliefs and judgments are indeed purged from the body and energy field and hologram, and this "Pathway of Transcendence" is experienced.
There is a moment of Cosmic Consciousness awareness that is experienced through all twelve dimensions of Light and the twelve strand DNA that you have the potential to activate and actualize, through this Twelfth Initiatory Gateway of Light, sweet ones; that takes you into the knowing of yourselves, sweet ones, as these sacred transfiguring Flames of Divine Love. That takes you beyond the duality consciousness, and the many archetypes played out through the victim and persecutor consciousness, lesser-than and better-than consciousness, them and us consciousness, into this deep Love and connection to all Life and to one another. And as these new keycodes and Earth Templates are experienced you enter into zero point, sweet ones, into this eternal Now moment of Divine Love; and this is simply experienced in consciousness, and vibration, through the fractal harmonic frequencies and crystalline keycodes and vortices that are activated through the Unity Grid and through your Light Bodies, sweet ones, as you experience yourselves as the I AM Avatar race through the merging and integration of your Beloved I AM Presence.
It is a time when you are able to sustain the Highest Light that you are, sweet ones, as these magical Master Beings and co-creators to the Company of Heaven. It is a time when the old karmic connections come to an end and a re-alignment through the twelve chakras is experienced as your chakra start to merge in one unified column of Light, as you magnetize and bring into your reality all that you are needing in any given now moment through the three-fold flame of Power, Love and Wisdom, and this Golden Flame of Empowerment and One Unity Consciousness.
So in this guided visualization, sweet ones, we take you into a deeper level of your star heritage. For what is being activated in this Now are your star keycodes of Light. Each one of you, sweet ones, carries your individual personal star keycodes that are to be activated within the Unity Grid of Divine Love along within the planetary keycodes of Light. As the star-seeded ones, and way-showers and lightworkers you come from many different constellations and star-systems, and many of you are from the Pleiades, or from Sirius, or Andromeda, or Arcturus, or have been these initiates of Light to the Order of Melchizedek for eons upon eons of time; and what is being activated and triggered through the DNA, sweet ones, through the dormant DNA, is the full remembrance of your star-seeded codes of Light, as you align into your original Divine eight-cell blueprint and step into a greater level of world service as these facilitators, and way-showers and custodians to Mother Earth and all her Life. And indeed many of you have experienced lifetimes on different planets and stars, but you hold a resonant frequency, generally, with one core group, sweet ones, and in this transmission we will take you into re-connecting with these Star Beings, with your star family and friends of the Light, so you may activate these star keycodes of Light into the Unity Grid of Divine Love, and assist in this dimensional shift into this new Golden Age of Light for all Life on this earth-plane, sweet ones.
Let us start by getting ourselves comfortably relaxed, breathing deep into the body, expanding the lower abdomen as you breathe in, and contracting the lower abdomen as you breath out. Grounding into the Crystal Heart of Mother Earth, and the Cosmic Heart of Mother/Father God as you merge with your Beloved I AM Presence and all the Beings of Light from On High that you personally acknowledge. Calling in your Master Guides and your Guardian Angel, and connecting now through your fluorescent tube of Light, your antakarana, your bridge of Light into the higher dimensions; to all aspects of your Higher Light, to all dimensions, to all these Beings of Light through the twelve dimensions available to you, sweet ones. As you now connect into the Inner Earth Sun, the Sun, the Central Sun, and the Great Central Sun. In this system of energy we present to you, the Central Sun is represented by the Pleiades and the Great Central Sun in this Galactic alignment of Light, by Sirius. And you are being lifted through all dimensions of Light into the Cosmic Heart of Mother/Father God, so you may truly merge and integrate your Beloved I AM Presence, as the I AM Avatar Race, in the creation of your etheric electronic Body of Light, your Adam Kadmon Body of Light, sweet ones.
This is the start too, of many of the Ascended Master skills. As you truly know yourselves as ascended masters, you will find increased levels of telepathic communication available to you with one another, and to all Beings of Light, and deeper levels of clairvoyance and clairsentience - these are common gifts that will be accelerated now, sweet ones, as well as your desire to live more naturally, and in harmony with Mother Earth, and with all her Life. To live in community, to eat naturally, to have a particular bio-rhythm that sustains the energy of Mother Earth, and that sustains your Light Bodies, sweet ones, in this new Golden Age of Light. And this shift in consciousness that we speak about, that takes you into Unity Consciousness, beyond duality, is one that has been experienced in Now moments, as you look through your Master eyes at all of Life around you, as you experience your Heart's Temple, in Divine Love, as these sacred transfiguring Flames of Divine Love. And now you will sustain this, and hold this as Initiates of Light, as you create these pathways of Light through the Christed Timelines, into the new Earth Templates of Light, for all Life on this earth-plane, sweet ones. And assisting you are these many Legions of Light from On High, including the Christed Extra-terrestrials and the Order of Melchizedek.
And as you now bring your focus to Arcturus, and to this gateway of Light, to these Beings of Light on Arcturus that are part of your ascension process, you find yourself traveling now in this external Merkaba Vehicle of Light, through grids of stralim radiation to this Ascension Seat within Arcturus. The Arcturian Emissaries of Light are further assisting you in the activation of your Light bodies/Merkabas, in the ability to bring through the appropriate oscillating wave-length frequencies of Light that will stabilize your Light Bodies/Merkabas to the fifth dimension and beyond. And as you are welcomed and greeted by the Arcturian Emissaries of the Light now, they take you to a midway station on Arcturus, and here you see many of the Healing Chambers of Light, and the advanced technologies that these beautiful Beings of Light work with, for the forward evolution of the lower worlds; and quantum physics is indeed one of their passions too, sweet ones. And they invite you now into one of these advanced Healing Chambers of Light, to assist you in this "Pathway of Transcendence". They invite you to let go of those old cellular memories and false beliefs through choosing a Healing Chamber of Light that will assist in the acceleration of your forward evolution in this Now, sweet ones, into the Highest Light that you are, as these sacred transfiguring Flames of Divine Love.
They show you through the Christed Timelines the events that you have carried through into this lifetime, and what these events continue to perpetuate in this Now for you, through your actions and thoughts. You are now offered the gift of transmuting this, sweet ones, in this advanced Healing Chamber of Light. Wonderful. Now, just allow yourselves to experience the sub-atomic particles in your body spinning in increased Light frequencies as you find yourselves in a Chakra Alignment Chamber of Light. The chakras are re-balanced, and the twelve chakra system is fully activated, as these false beliefs and judgments are cleared through each one of these chakras through the appropriate ray frequencies and colors and sonic vibrations. Come into your heart, sweet ones, and experience now the blending of your chakras in this unified column of Light. The Arcturian Emissaries of the Light come forward now to give you the gift of remembrance. In lifting the veils of illusion, and moving beyond the ring-passeth-nots, you are able to truly see with insight and understanding the pathways that you have traveled, not only in the experience of the accumulated karmic patternings and wounds that are being healed, sweet ones, but of the knowing and experience of yourselves as Initiates of Light, and in this initiatory gateway as "The High Priest". Many of you have experienced yourselves too on the Arcturian spaceships, and they take you now into one of their spaceships. You see how these beautiful Beings live, and experience Life in this non-duality state of consciousness, as you interact, and share energy with these beautiful Beings of Light.
And now, as you bring a focus to the Pleiadian Emissaries of the Light, you find yourself traveling through this grid of stralim radiation, of Divine Love, into the Pleiades, and in particular, into the Ascension Seat within Alcyone. Within this Ascension Seat you see around you many master crystals, some familiar to you and others not. For within this living library are many crystalline frequencies of Light, and what is being offered to you now is the opportunity to take on the crystalline frequencies from all twelve dimensions of Light. Every dimensional frequency that you need to experience is now integrated through your body, your energy field, in this Now, as you find yourself in a Temple of Divine Love, being welcomed as an Emissary of Light. As you experience the Photonic Rays of Light now, you are placed in this Cosmic Soul Re-integration Chamber of Light. As the electron/positron pairs within the body spin in increased Light frequencies, clearing old karmic patternings and conditionings, you align into your original Divine eight-cell blueprint within the perineum center, as you take on your original Soul frequency signature through the merging of all your past and future Higher Selves of the Light, sweet ones. You move through these corridors as an Initiate of light and take on the garments of Light of your Highest Potential, sweet ones; of the knowing of yourselves in your full preciousness and magnificence, of your re-connection to your Soul and Star families of the Light. The Pleiadian Emissaries of the Light link with you telepathically now, activating your personal Pleiadian keycodes of Light in these beautiful sonic vibrations of Light, and giving you an idea of your Life Purpose through these sonic crystalline frequencies and geometries of Light. These Light frequencies further activate your creative gifts, the many gifts you have as teachers and healers and way-showers and writers and poets and artists. These frequency templates are being activated in passion, and purpose, in knowing and in clarity, and indeed in Divine Love, sweet ones.
And now, as you bring a focus to the Sirian Archangelic League of the Light, you find yourself traveling through this crystalline matrix and into these portals of Divine Love, of stralim radiation, into the Ascension Seat within the etheric of Sirius. Many of you are familiar with the Sirian Archangelic Leagues of the Light, sweet ones, and one of their many gifts is that of sacred geometry. And as you greet these beautiful Beings of Light now, you experience the most incredible sacred geometric temples and structures all around you, shifting and changing shape; and the third eye is activated too in scrolls of Light to receive these many geometric patternings and imprintings of the new Earth Templates of Light. And as you now experience this Sacred Geometry Re-Configuration Chamber of Light activating the new pyramidal octahedronal crystalline geometries of Light found within the Unity Grid, through your body, energy field and hologram, receive these imprintings through the third eye now, sweet ones. Have a sense of these new geometries of Light being activated around your body, as you create your multi-dimensional Bodies of Light. For it is these multi-dimensional Bodies of Light that are fully activated to the Light body/Merkaba field of the Golden Flower of Life 54 feet in diameter around you, and these geometries of Light include the cube, the octahedron, and the star-tetrahedron, the dodecahedron, and the icosahedron, sweet ones. These toroidalgeometries and vortices of Light that are activated dimensionally now, are activated through your body, energy field, and hologram.
Many of you too are familiar with the Great White Lodge as it exists at this dimensional level, and you are now linked in consciousness and Light to many of the Beings of Light from On High, including many of the Ascended Masters, the Ray Masters and the Galactic Federation of Light members, as they welcome you as honorary members to the Galactic Federation of Light in this new Golden Age, sweet ones. Wonderful.
And now as you bring a focus to the Andromedan Intergalactic Beings of the Light you find yourselves traveling through these grids of stralim radiation into the Ascension Seat in Andromeda, merging with these Beings of Light at this dimensional level, and having a deeper sense too, of One Unity Consciousness; of this state of non-duality, of being able to merge together, yet retaining individual identity. Of your own individual signature and magnificence, while part of this collective of Divine Love and Unity Consciousness, of the recognition of all those around you as a part of yourselves, sweet ones, while honoring too the individual spark of consciousness of your own preciousness and magnificence as these sacred transfiguring Flame of Divine Love and Initiates of Light.
You now experience the merging of your Divine Masculine and Feminine Spirits, sweet ones, and if there are any wounds to be healed, allow the Andromedan Intergalactic Beings of the Light to bring in the frequencies that will embrace you within the Cosmic Heart of All Creation, in Divine Love. In this sacred space, know that you no longer need to experience the abuse and misuse of power, suppression of the Divine Feminine, power and control through Divine Masculine distortions, as you find wholeness and completion within yourselves, and merge with your Divine Feminine and Masculine archetypes of Light sweet ones. In their full magnificence and beauty and Love, they heal you, sweet ones. This is Who You Are, and as you experience the Twin Flamed aspects of yourselves through your Heart's Temple, you merge now with your Beloved I AM Presence. There is an expanded state of consciousness and awareness that takes you beyond the sensory system and central nervous system, beyond the mind - into a consciousness and vortex of Light, which is called "the Void", the Abyss, or the Black Hole, sweet ones, and this is where you experience yourselves now, through these zero point energies and Templates of Light, in the center of Divine Love. In communication and connection to all these Beings of Light on all dimensions, in all realities, as you merge with all your multi-dimensional selves, sweet ones, all aspects of yourselves, all 143 Soul rays that with yourselves make up 144 Soul rays of your Beloved I AM Presence, of your Christed Light.
As you now bring a focus to the Melchizedek Brotherhood of the Light, as this High Priest and Initiate of Light, you find yourself traveling through these grids of stralim radiation, of Divine Light, making this connection into the Brotherhood of the Light. You are now welcomed as this Initiate of Light, and placed in this Twelve-Strand DNA Activation Chamber of Light, allowing for the full activation of the DNA, and the actualization of the DNA too, sweet ones. Have a look through these timelines of yourselves, in ancient Egypt and Atlantis, and through the Mayan and Aztec cultures, into all dimensions and realities of Light in which you have achieved ascension, and bring this back into this Now, sweet ones. Honor yourselves as these High Priests as all the veils of Illusion are lifted, and the immortal chromosome activated at a cellular level. For we have spoken to you, sweet ones, of the understanding that not only is your Soul immortal, but so too is the physical body, and it is to not only believe this, but know too that you are able to transform the physical body into this Body of Light. And through this Twelve-Strand DNA Activation Chamber of Light, as the sub-atomic particles spin in increased frequencies through this crystalline matrix of Light, you have the ability to youth your physical bodies, sweet ones, you have the ability to experience your physical body as your Adam Kadmon Body of Light. And for many Initiates of Light this will take place through the Halls of Amenti through the cold flames of the Flower of Life, as you undergo this initiation as the High Priest to the Order of Melchizedek. For now, simply focus once more on this beautiful Golden Flower of Life, coming in 54 feet in diameter around you, bringing in all the geometries of Light that will assist in the activation of your Light Bodies/Merkabas.
And now, sweet ones, you bring your focus back to this Unity Grid of Divine Love, as these portals of Light, activating within and around this earth-plane are now amplified through the Crysto-Sun Disc and the twelve major Golden Solar Sun Disc discs. And as these new geometries of Light are experienced within the One Unity Grid of Divine Love, come into the Golden Solar Sun Disc of Light within your hearts, sweet ones. And now, you experience the activation of all these keycodes of Light that were given to you by all these Star Beings of Light, sweet ones, both personally and planetary, and take this into the Unity Grid of Divine Love as you wrap Mother Earth and all her Life in this Golden Flame of One Unity Consciousness and Empowerment, as you experience the return of the Inner Sun; connected to all the Light workers, starseeded ones, and Beings of Light from On High. This is the Now time, sweet ones, when you will find it no longer necessary for you to experience having your buttons pushed, so to speak - having to play out these old roles through the sub-personality aspects, the negative ego aspects. This is transmuted now, in this Flame of Golden Christ Light, in the knowing of yourselves as these Christ Conscious Beings of Light, and we honor you for your Light, and we honor you in this new Golden Age of Light.
Come back into your sacred space where you experience simply these pathways through the Christed Timelines in this new Golden Age of Light, in forgiveness, in compassion, in Divine Love, and in One Unity Consciousness. As you ground once more into the Inner Earth Sun, and the Crystal Heart of Mother Earth, you experience these new Earth Templates and Geometries of Light coming online through the Unity Grid of Divine Love. This is your ascension process, sweet ones, and from here, the ability to move forward with grace and ease through the Cosmic Heart of Mother/Father God will be always experienced if you lift yourselves into the "Pathway of Transcendence", into non-duality and into the Cosmic Heart of All Creation.
We bless you and we thank you for your service work to Mother Earth and to all her Life, and with this, we bid you a most magical day.

From 1983 to 2012, humanity has entered into, traveled through, and is now colliding into the opposite side of the dark riff in the milky way (mentioned in the book “Astrology of 2012”  by Marcus Mason, by Hay House http://www.alunajoy.com/books.html).  This is the 33 year passage of the Living Masters.  The Maya understand that this riff as a place of intense transformation.  Some call this a dark night of the soul for Earth and humanity.  This sacred passage will be 100% complete by 2016, and we are beginning to see a little glimmer of the light at the end of this long tunnel of transformation. 

Together, humanity has been going through a dark riff collectively.  This 33 year passage comes at the end of every 26,000 years.  Some make it through this time without too much scarring; while others are ground up, unrecognizable compared to their original forms.  What true light of pure, unaltered consciousness shines upon, no darkness can undo. 

There is no going back to who we were, and how we lived, before we began this journey. We cannot unlearn the light that we discovered in the contrast of this dark riff. We have fearlessly dug into our deepest and darkest places in our very soul, sometimes kicking and screaming all the way. We have cried from the deepest part of our souls for a deeper relationship with God, Creator and our own inner God Presence.  We have even screamed for mercy to be released from the bondages that we feel in this human form.  But we have survived, and we are ready.

There have been several phases to this dark night . . .

One phase is a dark night of the soul for the Spirit/Soul.  This is where our ego must die to its illusionary ways, as we see the light of pure unaltered consciousness. It is a time where we must end the blaming and take responsibility for our lives and actions.  It is a time where we reclaim our divinity as God BE-ings. It is a time where we make huge and radical shifts in our lives to align to this awakened divinity within us.

But before we complete this divine plan, we must embrace the second phase which is a dark night for our physical body. Our bodies have memory in our DNA that, in the past, at the end of each age, it remembers to drop the physical form and pick up the soul/spirit on the other side of the shift. This is the first time humanity will not drop their bodies, and we will now take them along for a ride of a life time through a shift of an age. This has never been done before. Many of us may have been experiencing this during the last few years, and very possibly the last few months. We might have been experiencing unusual phantom aches, pains and body symptoms as our bodies DNA is rebooted with new programing that come upgraded without the death memory. When we complete this divine plan that we have collectively set into motion, we can break the life/death/re-birth cycle forever, and for future generations.

Apostle Paul said “I die daily”.  If we had followed his advice, we would not have had these dirty closets to clean.  But do not judge yourself for collecting all the ugly baggage.  We have learned so much by working to clear it out.  The Star Elders say that we are the most courageous ones from any age that they have witnessed, as we dove into the darkness without a flinch or second thought.  We jumped in head first.  We knew we could get the job done.

We have gone through many phases in these last 30 years (3 lighter years to go).  We dismantled and demolished all that was not the light within us.  When there was nothing left to destroy of our former selves, we bore our depression and grieved as we painfully felt our losses and said good bye to the past.  The hardest part of the pilgrimage was when we entered the next phase.  This was a scary, unknown place where, once we had let go so completely, there was no solid ground for us to place our feet.  This phase came with profound disorientation.  In this petrifying place, we were faced with two options:  One . . . we could embrace this terrifying void, or two . . . struggle to swim upstream to the old self and what we knew as familiar and normal.   In this disorientation, there is no way to know which way to go.  I am sure that we all tried it both ways often until we became so exhausted by the effort that we were forced to surrender to the light that was growing inside of us.  We entered the unknown.  We are, just now, starting to come out of this phase.

The next phase of the dark night of planetary transformation is the rebuilding phase.  We begin to envision and create a new identity based in the light and a new world along with it.  It is the phase where we rebuild, upgrade and re-establish a high vibratory world, and rise to a higher, clearer level of consciousness.  The Star Elders say that whatever we thought this new world might be, there will be huge surprises ahead of us.  If you don’t like surprises, I suggest you get used to the idea.  In ever changing nature and the cosmos, there is no normal or constant other than our personal center and core.  You have found this core inside of you, even if you think you have not.

Now that we are finally coming into our living mastery, the universe is bound by natural law to give us MORE of what we think and believe, and are grateful and thankful for.  Buddha said “All that we are is the result of what we have thought”. This is a power we must use wisely. If we sugar coat all our wounds and things that are NOT alright in our lives, then we give permission to the universe to order up some more of what we really don’t want!  This is a highly misunderstood concept about positive thinking in new age communities. I call it the “IT’S ALL GOOD” mentality.  Don’t sit back and just take the pain and suffering you feel today and say “it’s all good” like a powerless victim.  Do you think the Creator wants you to suffer?  Absolutely not. The challenges and pain in our lives are here for us to learn from, and THEN . . . be grateful and thankful for what we have learned.  This will break the negative cycles in our lives.  Any uncomfortable situation we avoid and cover up with the “it’s all good” mentality will come back over and over until we learn the lesson.  We got to get it, before the universe will let it go. Sometimes there are things we must accept that we cannot change.  Ram Dass’ approach to his stroke is a great example of this.  But now we have the power to change the things that we can.

We are stepping into being creators, Living Masters, now. This is a great gift for our personal selves and all of humanity.  The more living masters that we have walking upon the Earth, the more it unifies our world. We must foster new, upgraded gratitude . . . not based by comparing yourself to others, but by feeling gratitude based on your abundance and your life (at whatever level that may be today) within the consciousness of oneness and unity that includes all of humanity.  Our thankfulness and gratitude will be a benefit to all of humanity . . . not just us personally.  As the Maya say, “In Lakech a la Kin”, which means we are all one, and what I do for me, I do for you as well. We must love ourselves and all our brothers and sisters as well.

What life was before this 33 year journey is now dead and buried.  It is time to say good bye and to say thank you to our past.  It has served us well.  We have discovered our true authentic selves, and we have healed past wounds and elevated our consciousness.  It is time.  We must say good bye to our past before we can travel to the future.  We must say thank you to our past, so we can reach another and higher level of consciousness.   The beginning is near!

ALUNA JOY YAXK'IN

Br

Dear Ones,

Last week was difficult for many. You were clearing your cellular fears as you tried to continue your 3rd dimensional life. Something you did not expect, nor wish for. Similar to a forest fire regenerating the forest even though the initial results are painful to view.

This transition to joy is not easy for most. Not because you do not wish to experience joy, but that you have to let go of so much of your 3rd dimensional life – whether you believe those parts are positive or negative.

As you move beyond the 3rd dimension, your understanding will increase as will your ability to connect with 3rd dimensional loved ones in other planes. Such promises are of little value to those of you in the fog of loss.

Do you remember your thoughts of the fun you would have once you left your home of origin? Do you also remember your fear the first day after doing so? So it is for you now. Even though you are moving to higher dimensions, you are finding it difficult to let go of your 3rd dimension security blankets.

You wish to be in higher dimensions at all times – except for this activity or that person. It cannot be. You are either pregnant or you are not. You either are of a dimension beyond the 3rd or you are not.

We stated last week that you could skip through dimensions – and so you can. But only those dimensions beyond the 3rd. You no longer are of the 3rd dimension.

In a sense, you are a 3rd dimensional ghost. Even though you wish to emotionally touch someone remaining in the 3rd dimensional earth plane, they cannot see or feel your pain. You are attempting to remain connected to something or someone you no longer are able to – you are of different dimensions.

You will find resonating with those of a different dimension – particularly the 3rd dimension – difficult, if not impossible. For instance, you might attend a family reunion with people with whom you have shared much joy only to feel the event is flat, boring or not at all as you remember.

You may find this thought frightening or extremely sad. Neither of which needs to enter your feeling field. For indeed, there is much to explore in your home dimension – including connecting with those you no longer connect with in the 3rd dimension earth plane.

You have worked diligently in the past few months to recruit/draw to your human form as many splinters as you feel comfortable accepting. Those friends and family of the 3rd dimension are not gathering their splinters to themselves. Their unused splinters are available for you to connect with when you wish.

Some of you have learned how to communicate with those who transition from earth. You are not connecting with the full entity that was on earth prior to their transition, but with splinters that are interested in connecting with you.

It is much like multi-tasking in your 3rd dimensional life – you prepare a meal as you decide what you are wearing to work tomorrow while you chat with your mother on your cell phone. Even though your voice is talking with your mother, your mind is thinking about the checklist you need to complete before your next workday. So it is for those in the 3rd dimension who have transitioned beyond the earth plane.

They connect with you while observing their physical entity on earth or on whatever plane they are most whole and yet support you in so many ways. But then, you are capable of the same.

Once you move beyond the 3rd dimension, connections with those not of earth and beyond are stronger because of less “static”.

Your current transition phase may feel like a forest fire – as if all is lost. Know that the green shoots of your new forest are already pushing through the dirt. But then, you do not yet have enough evidence to fully believe that you will lose all you hold dear in the 3rd dimension – only to find more joy in the dimensions beyond.

Your 3rd dimension life was based in fear – with a few interactions of love. Your love will be enhanced once you fully move into your dimensional home. And you will interact with more splinters of those you hold dear – just not their 3rd dimension splinters.

Why do you need to release any love, only to replace it with a different love?

As you move into your home dimension, your enhanced interaction skills will be with the essence of other beings.

Those loved ones you are now mourning will be more accessible than they were in the 3rd dimension – for more of their splinters will wish to play with you.

You are not negating love in the New Age. Instead, you are enhancing and expanding love. You are to live in joy. Such is not possible without love.

Your new forest is growing rapidly – not fast enough for many – but much more rapidly than you can imagine. Perhaps your feelings are similar to those of starting a new job – frightened and alone. In truth, you have so many guides, angels, entities or whatever term feels most right for you ready to welcome you – and lovingly invite you to your first of thousands of joyful coffee breaks in your new dimension. So be it. Amen.

www.eraofpeace.org
December 12, 2012, 12:12:12, and December 21-22, 2012 are dates we have been hearing about for decades. Since Harmonic Convergence, which took place August 15-17, 1987 people have intuitively sensed the importance of this moment in time, and predicted everything under the Sun. Speculation has run the gamut including everything from the end of the world to the instant manifestation of Heaven on Earth. But what should we realistically expect?
In Truth, for the past 25 years, since the quantum leap in energy, vibration, and consciousness the Earth and Humanity experienced during Harmonic Convergence, we have been through myriad influxes of Light. These influxes have included rare Celestial alignments, Solar and Lunar Eclipses, powerful Solar Flares, and literally hundreds of Global Activities of Light that were orchestrated through the unified efforts of embodied Lightworkers and the Company of Heaven. Each and every one of these events bathed the Earth in Divine Light and accelerated the frequency of vibration in Humanity’s physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies at an atomic cellular level. Many people were consciously aware of these influxes of Light, but the vast majority of people evolving on this planet went through these experiences without any conscious awareness.
The influx of Light we will experience on December 12, and December 21-22 will be infinitely more powerful than anything we have previously experienced, but our I AM Presence has been preparing our bodies to withstand this Light for 25 years. Children are being born with the ingrained capacity to assimilate this Light as well, so all is in readiness. All we have to do in order to be the instruments of God we are destined to be is stay focused in our hearts. Then we will be the Open Door for the Light of God that will Birth this planet and all her Life into the patterns of perfection for the New Earth.
What people will experience on a tangible level will be unique for each person. Some people will be very aware of the shift of energy, vibration, and consciousness that has occurred within them. Other people will initially be oblivious to any changes, but as time passes and they assimilate the Light they will realize that something has dramatically shifted within them. Day by day, they will begin to “see with new eyes and hear with new ears.”
Since the Divinely inspired prophecies of old indicated that in these end times there would be two Earths, there are many people who are still predicting that with the Birth of the New Earth the old Earth will pass away resulting in millions of people not making the shift to the New Earth. The Company of Heaven want all of us to know that phase of the Divine Plan has been averted. Please assimilate the following information through the Flame of Illumined Truth which is resonating in the heart of your I AM Presence.
The Beings of Light have clearly stated that the only reason a potential negative outcome is revealed through Divine Prophecy is to show Humanity what will occur if we continue with our current behavior. The Divine Intent of such a prophecy is to inspire Humanity to change our behavior in order to avert the potential negative outcome. If we do not change our behavior and avert the predicted outcome, then the prophecy failed to accomplish its goal and is in fact a failed prophecy.
During the past 25 years miracles have taken place that have exceeded the greatest expectations of Heaven. The Awakening that has occurred within the mass consciousness of Humanity has changed the course of history. There are millions of Lightworkers around the world who have invoked the Light of God on behalf of our sisters and brothers in the Family of Humanity. Through these selfless efforts, people who have not been able to raise their heads above the mud puddle of their painful life experiences enough to see the Light for themselves have been granted a Cosmic Dispensation of unprecedented Divine Grace. This dispensation has proven to be God Victorious.
As a result of the unified efforts of Heaven and Earth, during the past 25 years the I AM Presence of every recalcitrant person on Earth, who was in danger of not making the shift to the New Earth, has made the conscious decision to do what is necessary to clear their karmic liabilities, so they can move forward in the Light. This is true whether or not the person’s fear-based, fragmented human ego is consciously aware of that fact or not. The choice to move forward in the Light by even the most rebellious people is exactly why we are witnessing such appalling negativity being pushed to the surface all over the world. This negativity is surfacing at an accelerated pace in order to be healed and transmuted into Light.
As a result of this miracle, the two Earth’s have become ONE. This means that every man, woman, and child is moving forward with the New Earth. NO ONE IS GOING TO BE LEFT BEHIND!
If recalcitrant souls do not clear their karmic liabilities before they leave the physical plane, they will be taken to the Inner Schools of Learning associated with the New Earth to complete their transmuting process. Once they have completed learning the lessons of Oneness and Reverence for All Life, they will join the rest of Humanity on the New Earth. The Company of Heaven said this is the greatest act of Divine Grace every rendered to the fallen Sons and Daughters of God by the Cosmic I AM, All That Is, our Father-Mother God.
So now, I would like to share with you a very powerful Activity of Light that was given to us by the Company of Heaven to prepare us even further to receive the unparalleled influx of Light we will experience on December 12, 12:12:12 and December 21-22. This is a process of Divine Alchemy that will assist our I AM Presence to transform the carbon-based cellular structures of our physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies into Crystalline-based Solar Light Cells.
This is a comprehensive process so take your time with it. Please follow this visualization through the full power of your attention. Know that your I AM Presence will allow this activity of Light to occur in, through, and around your Earthly Bodies in perfect alignment with your Divine Plan and your highest good.
I AM Cocreating My 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light Bodies
I AM my I AM Presence and I AM One with the I AM Presence of every man, woman, and child evolving on this planet. I AM One with my Father-Mother God, I AM One with the Solar Logos from Suns beyond Suns beyond Suns, I AM One with the entire Company of Heaven, and I AM One with all of the Beings of Light associated with the Elemental Kingdom and the Angelic Kingdom.
I AM One with every electron of precious Life energy evolving on this planet, and I AM One with every atomic and subatomic particle and wave of energy comprising the physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies of Humanity and Mother Earth. I AM also One with all of the spaces in between the atomic and subatomic particles and waves of energy on Earth.
Through the Divine Intervention of this collective Body of Light Beings, I invoke the most intensified frequencies of 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light from the very Core of Creation that Humanity and the Earth are capable of receiving at this time. I ask that as this Crystalline Solar Light accelerates the Divine Alchemy that is transforming my carbon-based bodies into Crystalline-based Solar Light Bodies of infinite perfection, it also accelerates this process within the bodies of every person on Earth. I accept that this will occur in alignment with each person’s Divine Plan and the highest good for all concerned.
On this sacred and holy day I consecrate my physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies to be the Open Door for the 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light that is transforming the Earth and ALL her Life into the limitless physical perfection of the New Earth.
Now, under the direction of our Father-Mother God, the 5th-Dimensional Directors of the Elements take their strategic positions in preparation for this powerful Activity of Light.
* The Directors of the Air Element and the Beings of the Air take their position at the cardinal point to the North.
* The Directors of the Water Element and the Beings of the Water take their position at the cardinal point to the East.
* The Directors of the Earth Element and the Beings of the Earth take their position at the cardinal point to the South.
* The Directors of the Fire Element and the Beings of the Fire take their position at the cardinal point to the West.
* The Directors of the Ether Element and the Beings of the Ethers take their position within the Sun of Even Pressure in the Center of the Earth.
Now as One Breath, One Heartbeat, One Voice, and One Energy, Vibration, and Consciousness of pure Divine Love the Directors of the Elements sound a Cosmic Tone signaling to Humanity’s Body Elementals and the Divine Intelligence within every cell that the time has come to reverse the adverse effects of our fall from Grace, and to reclaim the original Divine Plan of outpicturing the perfection that is pulsating within the 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light Bodies of our I AM Presence.
Every person’s Body Elemental responds with deep gratitude and an exceptional willingness to at long last heal the maladies that they were forced to create in our physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies after our fall from Grace aeons ago. With elation and abounding joy, our Body Elementals accept the opportunity to transform our bodies into the limitless perfection of 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light Bodies.
Now that the new Solar Record Keeper Crystals have been placed in Earth’s Crystal GridSystem, and Humanity’s pineal glands have been adjusted to safely receive more 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light, the Directors of the Elements invoke the Mighty Elohim, and ask them to empower Humanity’s Body Elementals with the ability to assimilate and integrate 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light into our Earthly Bodies, at an atomic cellular level.
The Mighty Elohim respond, and every person’s Body Elemental is initiated into frequencies of the 5th Dimension and invested with NEW skills and abilities that will work in perfect harmony with the Divine Alchemy taking place. This means our Body Elementals have graduated into 5th-Dimensional Elemental Beings, which will accelerate our transformation into our Crystalline Solar Light Bodies.
My I AM Presence and the I AM Presence of every person on Earth now joins in harmony with our newly invested and empowered 5th-Dimensional Body Elementals. What takes place within my Earthly Bodies during the following Activity of Light will also take place within the Earthly Bodies of all Humanity.
I AM my I AM Presence and in unison with my Body Elemental I AM cocreating my 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light Bodies of infinite physical perfection.
I AM the Immaculate Concept, the Divine Blueprint, of my 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Etheric, Emotional, Physical, and Mental Solar Light Bodies now made manifest and eternally sustained by God’s Amazing Grace.
Sealed in the embrace of my I AM Presence I quietly contemplate the profound Truth that our Planetary CAUSE of Divine Love and our newly Birthed Renaissance of Divine Love are setting the tone for each of my 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light Bodies. These vehicles are now the Open Door for the Crystalline Solar Light that is cocreating the circumstances for Birth of the NEW Earth and Humanity’s Ascension in the Light.
And I begin...
I perceive my glorious Crystalline Etheric Light Body. This is the vehicle that is encoded with my full Divine Potential, and my Divine Plan. My etheric body is associated with the Air Element and it is the vehicle that sets the tone or vibration for all of the energy that enters the world through my physical body.
Under the Law of Karma, which was created after the fall, Humanity had little chance of experiencing vibrant health, eternal youth, or radiant beauty in our physical bodies. Now, however, my I AM Presence and my newly invested 5th-Dimensional Body Elemental take command. The Law of Karma is superseded by the Immaculate Concept of my Divine Plan, and the perfection of my Crystalline Etheric Light Body.
Within my etheric body my I AM Presence declares to all obsolete Karmic patterns, “Stand aside for the I AM Presence and the perfection of my Crystalline Etheric Light Body.” The Karmic patterns are instantaneously transmuted into Light by the new Solar Frequencies of the Violet Flame.
From this moment forth, all energy passing through my physical body from my I AM Presence will only pass through the perfection of my Crystalline Etheric Light Body.
My Mother God, the Holy Spirit, now Baptizes my Crystalline Etheric Light Body with Sacred Fire. This blessing seals the 5th-Dimensional Solar frequencies of the Air Element within this vehicle and a scintillating forcefield of infinite perfection is formed. (pause)
My Crystalline Emotional Light Body now comes into view. This vehicle is associated with the Water Element. It is the body through which the Love Nature of my Father-Mother God is expressed in the world of form. This is my most powerful vehicle. Eighty percent of my Lifeforce is released through my emotional body.
My I AM Presence and my 5th-Dimensional Body Elemental step forth to take command of this vehicle. As they do, the full Divine Momentum of my Father-Mother God’s Love begins to flow through my Heart Flame. The Love of God expands through my Crystalline Emotional Light Body and forms a Cosmic Forcefield of Divine Love that encompasses the entire Planet Earth.
This forcefield of my Father-Mother God’s Love expands the Love flowing through every person’s Heart Flame, and opens each person’s 5th-Dimensional Crystalline Heart Chakra to new breadths. This enhances the reality that every man, woman, and child on Earth will indeed succeed in accomplishing his or her goal of Ascending into the 5th-Dimensional Realms of Light with the New Earth and the rest of our Solar System.
Love reigns supreme through all Creation, and this Activity of Light ensures that our New Planetary CAUSE of Divine Love and our Renaissance of Divine Love are becoming a tangible reality.
Within this all-encompassing Forcefield of Divine Love, the last vestige of my human ego surrenders to my I AM Presence. Within the embrace of my I AM Presence my ego lets go of its resistance to my Divine Plan, and its desire to block my Divine Potential as a Beloved Son or Daughter of God.
My ego dissolves into the loving embrace of my I AM Presence where it is transformed by the Love of my Father-Mother God. My ego is scientifically, psychologically, physiologically, and spiritually transformed. My I AM Presence now inbreathes and absorbs my human ego into the fullness of my true God Reality and all aspects of my own Divinity.
My Mother God now Baptizes my most powerful Crystalline Emotional Light Body with Sacred Fire. My feeling nature becomes One with the Love Nature of God. My emotional world is now filled with God’s Infinite Love and all of the various aspects of God’s wondrous Love. This blessing seals the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the Water Element within this vehicle and a scintillating forcefield of infinite perfection is formed.
Through my Crystalline Emotional Light Body I continually express the Harmony of my true Being. (pause)
Now my Crystalline Physical Light Body comes to the fore. My physical body is associated with the Earth Element. The limitless physical perfection of my I AM Presence is reflected in my magnificent Crystalline Light Body. My I AM Presence and my 5th-Dimensional Body Elemental take command of this vehicle. Every cell, gland, organ, and function of my physical body has been longing for this moment.
My Crystalline Physical Light Body is composed of Crystalline Cells that are absorbing Light from the Infinite Universe and assimilating that Light into the atoms and molecules that form each cell of my body. Every Crystalline Cell in my physical body is also absorbing the Cosmic River of Crystalline Light that is cascading through my I AM Presence and every other aspect of my own Divinity.
I AM my I AM Presence inbreathing, absorbing, expanding, and projecting the fullness of this Crystalline Light into my flesh vehicle. Not only is every cell of my body becoming a Crystalline Cell, each one is now swirling with multicolored dazzling Solar Light. This amazing influx of Light is generating unexplored levels of limitless physical perfection, vibrant health, radiant beauty, abundance, joy, and bliss. My Crystalline Physical Light Body responds to this Divine Input which is coming from various Realms of Light.
My Crystalline Physical Light Body will never again accept Karma dictating the reality of its physical functioning or its physical appearance. The old purpose of the flesh vehicle which was to be the repository for Karmic lessons that were not yet learned has been transmuted forever. I accept this profound Truth, and I agree to abide in my Crystalline Light Bodies while deeply enjoying the Divine Alchemy into limitless physical perfection that is continually expanding within them.
My Mother God now Baptizes my Crystalline Physical Light Body with Sacred Fire. The infinite physical perfection of my I AM Presence is permanently secured in the cellular structures of my physical body. This blessing seals the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the Earth Element within this vehicle and a scintillating forcefield of infinite perfection is formed. (pause)
Now my Crystalline Mental Light Body reveals itself to me. This vehicle is associated with the Fire Element. My Crystalline Mental Light Body is One with the Divine Mind of God. My I AM Presence and my 5th-Dimensional Body Elemental take command of this vehicle, causing it to blaze like a great Sun of Light forming a halo around my head. As the halo of Light expands through my mental body, it encompasses all of my Crystalline Light Bodies and I AM a radiant Sun of Infinite Light.
The Sacred Fire Breath of my Father-Mother God activates my Divine Mind, and I clearly receive Divine Thoughts, Ideas, Concepts, Imagination, and all aspects of Divine Mind beyond Imagination. All of these reflections of Divine Intelligence and Divine Mind are anchoring and reflecting into my outer consciousness.
Slowly but surely I become aware of this process. It begins with a soft effulgent Light filling my mind. It leads me past the imagination of hopes and dreams of a future Divinity into the ever present moment of NOW where the patterns of perfection for the New Earth exist for me, the Earth, and all Life evolving on this planet.
All of the layers of human thought, conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind, that were derived from my human ego now slowly dissolve into this Light, thus setting up an entirely new Divine Process for assimilating information.
I now perceive everything as energy, vibration, and consciousness whether it is something in my daily life or coming to me from dimensions beyond the physical plane. I watch for this in my meditations and see it clearly in my awakened life.
I AM prepared for my Crystalline Mental Light Body and I accept it now.
My Mother God now Baptizes my Crystalline Mental Light Body with Sacred Fire. The Divine Mind of God is reflected through my conscious mind and perpetually reflects through my mental body. This blessing seals the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the Fire Element within this vehicle and a scintillating forcefield of infinite perfection is formed. (pause)
I AM my I AM Presence and I AM now abiding on the New Earth in my 5th-Dimensional Etheric, Emotional, Physical, and Mental Crystalline Solar Light Bodies. Each of my four Elemental Vehicles is now functioning in its full Crystalline Solar Light Body of infinite perfection. As I empower this activity of Light day by day, the Divine Alchemy is expanding and expanding within each vehicle until ALL Life evolving on this sweet Earth has God Victoriously Ascended into the 5th-Dimensional Solar Realms of Light with the New Earth and the rest of our Solar System.
And so it is. Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM.

DECEMBER 21 2012

Pacal Votan concerning Dec 21 2012 in his prophecy made in 600ad.
He said the reason nature will react is because people will become so absorbed with material and industrial things that they will lose their sacred interdependence with nature?

CHANGE IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT
I am not a gloom and doom person and as you know I have always put forth the proposal that the great shaking to culminate on Dec 21 2012 which we are experiencing now will save us and the planet. It will restore us to a more peaceful and feminine style rather than the material, violent and competitive style we have chosen.

THE ALIGNMENT
The celestial alignment predicted for Dec 21 2012 is one that has not happened for 26,000 years, thus we obviously have something extremely special to look forward to.

WHAT IF
Let's do a "what if" to try and consider the implications.

What if the Dec 21 2012 alignment is the 26,000 year alignment as so many say.

Then it will be the time of the Waterman.

THE SOURCE
There are many sources if you Google, 2012 Alignment

I have chosen one for you John Major Jenkins
His site is "What Is The Galactic Alignment of 2012"
This is what he says.
This Galactic Alignment occurs only once every 26,000 years, and was what the ancient Maya were pointing to with the 2012 end-date of their Long Count calendar

EVIDENCE
This is to be the time of the great shaking, the great change.
Given what we have been experiencing in all aspects of life, it seems the shaking has arrived.

WHAT IF
What if the December 21 2012 alignment is the first of its kind in 26,000 years.
That would mean we are entering into a new age which would be Aquarius.

WHAT IF
What if that was the time Jesus was pointing to as the Passover.
Passing over from the age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius

WHAT DID JESUS SAY?
Jesus was asked, "what would be the sign of the Passover".

Remember Genesis says, let there be lights in the heavens and let them be for signs.
Mark 14:13 You shall meet the man carrying the pitcher of water, follow him.

THE MEETING
We shall meet Aquarius, the man with the pitcher of water on December 21 2012 at 11:11am

THE BRIDEGROOM AND THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
The ruling planet of the Age Of Aquarius is Uranus
Uranus had been married to Gaia, the earth.
Uranus had been driven away from his bride by his son Saturn.
Now he is returning to claim his bride, planet earth.

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND
The Bible was written in Greek
The Greek word for Heaven is Ouranos which is translated into English is Uranus

Matthew 4:17 Jesus began to say "the kingdom of heaven is at hand".

THE KINGDOM OF URANUS IS AT HAND
The original Greek has Jesus saying the kingdom of Uranus is at hand.
Indeed Uranus will be upon us on December 21 2012
It will return at the time of the man with the pitcher of water.
The sign Jesus said would signal the Passover
The Passover to a new age.

DECEMBER 21 2012
The Passover and the Kingdom of Heaven
The day of the man with the pitcher of water
The day of the bridegroom's return, heaven's return, Uranus

DO NOT LOOK FOR ANYTHING SPECTACULAR ON THAT DAY
I expect it will be a normal though significant day

I do not expect any spectacular activity on that day, though one never knows.
We are experiencing the change now and as we Passover to this new time

we can expect an acceleration of the great change.

Hello facebook friends. This is an important time and there is still a lot of uncertainty about 12/21/2012, what is happening now, what will happen on the 21st and what will happen afterwards. I am compiling some questions for a series of Q&A's on this subject that will be coming out in the very near future. I am calling upon my facebook friends to ask the questions that are in your heart.

So if you have any questions about the coming date of 12/21/2012, about the shift, or about what will happen after the shift, now is the time to ask them. Thank you

A message from Rev. Irma Kaye Sawyer
December 5th, 2012

Hello friends,
Some information has come through recently that may be of guidance to those that identify as Light workers, Adult Indigos and all others on an awakening path at this time.

1) Personal (spiritual/energetic) work over large group work is indicated. Unless you are already part of a trusted group where you feel safe and that the information and energies being shared are considered accurate, grounded, etc. Part of this is due to the fact that the collective will be very “busy” at this time and also be filled with a certain intensity. Many empaths and earth sensitives will feel a greater need to “unplug,” be quiet and do their own personal work. This is not to say however, to stop doing intentional work and holding space for Gaia, the Grid and all sentient beings at this time as you are guided.

2) According to the group Physical Avatar (related to the physical/emotional energetic of all on an awakening path at this time,) there may be some healings experienced that may be seemed “dramatic” in their intensity, but please be mindful that they will also pass through quickly. (I was shown the image of a Shamanic “Snake Dance,” where the Kundalini energies were being moved through the physical and energetic bodies with great speed, intelligence and accuracy.)

3) For some people, Genetic and Ancestral blockages and mis-qualified energies are particularly “up” right now. This is due to the fact that in the Grace of these energies, these patterns are being healed completely and permanently. KNOW this to be true. Send light and blessings to your family line and ancestors, both known and unknown. Let them share in the joy of this moment with you. It is because of them that you are here now and are able to do this divine work. Think about that. ♥

4) There will be waves of fear and “stuff” that may also come up along side these powerful light energies. It is best to view them like a movie on a screen; as just images of fantasy that have no basis in reality. Bless all that you encounter and know that all is well.

5) The bottom line of this current vibrational upgrade is for you to step further into your soul’s light, mission and Divine Blueprint. This is not a moment to be feared, but to revel and rejoice in.

All of creation rejoices with you. Deepest blessings of love, peace and beauty. – The Keepers (Astara Ra Elohim), 12.4.12

2013 ~ The Quantumness of You with Sharon Taphorn and The entourage of Light Beings who are her guides

This is the year to walk in mastery of all that you have learned, to be the change you wish to see in the world and those of you who have been following the path of awakening are having a far better time than those who are still wrestling and fight against the natural flow of things. And yet, we still say that some of the awakened ones will be having challenges if they have not been walking their talk as the energy of truth is becoming palpable to many of you.

You are still going to see some adjustments happening in your banking and government’s as the old energy fights back against the new, and so we say be wise with where you spend your money, and your time. Who and what do you choose to lend your energy to is vital for the movement to more light. If we were to offer you several bottles of poison, would you choose the ones that kills you the fastest or the slowest? And we hope you said that we would choose, none of the above, for one poison is not better than another, the end result is still the same. Put your energy into something that you believe with all your heart and trust that it will make a difference.

With that in mind, watch where you spend your personal money over this leveling off period. There aren’t many quick magic projects that are going to make you rich by focusing on another’s idea, trust your own. Slow and steady gets to the finish line and it is only a race against yourself, so really, there is no race at all. Enjoy the journey, you will get where you want to go, of that there is no doubt. How long it takes is entirely up to you.

“Let your love be the filter with which you communicate your truth and on which you base all of your actions.”

Offer Your Unique Flavor

If you find yourself focused or worried about the state of affairs of those around you, locally, globally, or cosmically, and the messages or feelings of that of doom and gloom, avoid it like you would the plague. These are the old guard still trying to rear its head, regardless how it is dressed. Do not blame and rant and rave about it either, for that action leads to feeding more energy its way. It is when you keep your focus on what you are trying to create and not necessarily where the focus of the mass consciousness is that is important.

Discernment is the tool of the master and that dear one is you. You are the masters. You are the chosen ones and each and every one of you is vital to the mission. It might take 3 or ten to replace you. Only you offer your exact flavour to the mix that makes it so special. Judge not others and what they do or path they take. See the gift in where you are, thank all that has brought you here and neatly shut the cupboard that contains all the memories of the past and what might have been. Take the teachings and the gift and move on, for they is much left for you to do.

Remember to consider all aspects of your-self. The physical – Are you eating well, taking care of your physical body, how is work and the such, the world of the perceived reality – remember you are here to have a physical, finite experience. The Emotional – Are you living from your heart, listening to your heart, healing your heart, communicating from your heart. This is to become your root chakra, therefore it is time to open your heart. Trust that there are grander possibilities and there are. The Mental – Transitioning your thoughts to those based in love and light is the path. Mastering the thoughts and feelings you hold for yourself and therefore others is through the mastery of the mind, through the understanding of the mind and how it works. The Spiritual – Are you taking the time for you to connect with your higher self, your guides and angels. These are the beings that want to help you and are there to guide and support you while you are doing your journey. Consider all the aspects of each aspect and that will be the bridge that brings you across into the destiny you desire.

Follow Your Heart

Be sure to look at the spiritual aspect of your heart. Follow your heart and it will lead you where you want to go. It is when you are following the ego of the heart that you seem to go astray. Adding the spiritual aspect to your heart instead of seeing a future that is unsure or perhaps even unkind, you see that there are magical opportunities in where you are and where you are heading. Do you see love and kindness or do you see something else. If you are feeling overwhelmed, it is time for a new view. Develop the higher dimensional capacity of love. See the world and all that is around you through the eyes of unconditional love. This will help you move beyond what is to where you want to be. Utilize it well as it will help you create the energy of the heart.

When you learn to trust, to follow your heart and take the action that is necessary, you will see rapid changes in your world. You will begin to feel the pangs of Unity consciousness that those awaken ahead of you have been feeling and the more of you who cross that bridge, the stronger that energy will become and the faster you will the shifts in the mass consciousness. So, keep charging ahead and work diligently to keep your thoughts in check and working for you. Develop your senses and learn how to work in mastery with them and you will have and see much more of what you desire being created around you. The more of you who do this, the more grand the year will be. It can only get better from here. That is the mantra of the Lightworker, chant it daily and often. Keep on thinking the thoughts of what you desire, making it your next reality.

Restoring Balance to Your World

Let balance be restored in your world, regardless of the outside experience. Trust that all the forces of the Universe are working with you and for you and know that your desires and relationships will be changing at different rates as you traverse the year ahead. Higher dimensional compassion is the level to aspire to in all that you do and bringing yourself closer each step of the way. Judge not another or yourself too harshly, for you are all really about the same and seeking the same within, you just aren’t all at the same vibration for it to always make sense in 3D. Let go of the need to be right, or wrong. Let go of the need to be the best, instead do your best and turn to lend a helping hand to those that follow after you. Drop your swords for you longer need to hold them behind your backs to protect you should another lash out at you unexpectedly. Instead, see the truth and heal all thoughts with love and realize that it is truly not about you. Send them love and move on with an open heart and begin your new journey with the new you.

Much has been shed as you entered this year and if you still need to purge and clear away the old please do so, as quickly as you can. See the gift in being complete with what you need to do so you are free to move ahead. At this point if you do not have a spiritual practice that includes at least 15 minutes of meditation where you are spending time with your angels, guides and or higher self, then start it now. You are worth it, and you are deserving of this. It allows you clarity, healing and inspiration, acting like your own personal coaches helping you along the way.

Take regular time outs for yourself and time to focus your own evolution and growth. This is the gift you give to the world, for if you are not a fully aware, healed, light filled teacher or healer, are not at your best and therefore highest use to the Universe. Make the commitment, you are worth it.

Pause, reflect observe. Let this be your motto as you focus on creating what you desire. Moderation is the key and keeping this balanced and on an even keel. It takes careful planning to begin with and then it will become part of your natural way of being. Take the actions you know feel right when they feel right and trust that the wheel will keep on turning and an opportunity will once again come your way when the time is right. Trusting and keeping your focus is the key. Completing your past projects is of vital importance for moving forward, so be sure to finish off the old.

It is a revolution of the self, and an evolution of the soul. Trust in the journey, trust in your guidance and learn to trust in yourself. Keep your thoughts and focus on what you want and your journey and let others unfold their own journey. If you wish to see challenges and problems, for sure you will. If you want to see issues of control and long for your freedom, then you will. If you see love and support around you, no matter how small, see that and watch as it grows bigger. Focus on the area’s where you feel free and soar and watch as you get more of that. Where you look and what you see is what you get. Release any thoughts of less than, or worries or fears and find the opposite to focus on while you are getting better at mastering your mental world and getting it working for you and with you.

Transcend the Ego to Transfrom Your Life

There is so much opportunity for love, nurturing, growth and understanding available to those who wish to seek it. Love relationships that are grander than ever imagined will be forged for those of you who seek it, the loves of legends and of dreams. Dare to create it dear ones and know that nothing is truly as it seems. Plant the seeds and tend the gardens and grow the future of your fantasies. See the good and the beauty in all that you meet and you will bring about more of the same in those yet to come. Live your life from your truth, trust, trust and trust, and find the passion in where you are right now. Remember that together you are stronger so seek out others who are of like mind. Cease competition and know and trust that there is enough for everyone and more than enough for everyone else too. You are only as strong as your weakest link and you as a collective raise the vibration of the whole every time you help another who is struggling upon the path. How you treat others is one of the measuring sticks used to check the vibration of the planet, and this means all the life that exists on your earth. Choose wisely where you spend your time and money and make time for your own growth and enjoyment along the way.

Use this year’s energy as the one where you start to see the rewards, destiny and expansion that you desire. Take the chances and the risks of asking for what you want. Send in your book, send in your articles, send in your ideas and your dreams, then make them happen. You have absolutely nothing to lose and when the things of your dreams start happening, you will wonder how you could have doubted and been afraid to take the risk. The sense of self-satisfaction as you see the rewards of your years of work and action is great indeed and it will help to spur you on to what next awaits you on your journey. It transcends the ego and will transform your life.

You are creating so many wonderful and amazing things and people and groups and the expansion is beautiful. When the heart is open and you feel the strength and the courage that you have within you for each other and all that is, it becomes this amazing journey. Seek to shine your love and your light, sometimes in dark and dim place and at others to add more light and beauty to all that is. You will know what feels right when it is filled with love and good feelings, any other thoughts and feelings are best left out of the equation. You will become quantum creators when you learn to work together as one heart beat as your earth does and that is what you have been working towards.

Teamwork and Relationships

The challenge seems to remain to not get carried away with the ego of the 3D world. This is the world of the mass consciousness presently. Do not take things personally, as this is an unhealthy energy and does not support the thoughts of unity consciousness, Good or Bad, Desired or Undesired. Be grateful and appreciative, yet do not take it personally. Let the ego, the mental body be the tool that gives you the strength to know you can get things done and the courage to move forward. Your ego can help you fearlessly move forward, it just might need a bit of adjustment in how you work with this important aspect of your physical reality. Let your love be the filter with which you communicate your truth and from which you base all of your actions. Let the light you bare be your heart light and healing colour of love.

Understanding and focus upon interpersonal relationships will be a theme throughout the year. Those that are working and evolving will prevail, those that are not, wont. This can be a work partnership or relationship or a love relationship. Decide if it is worth nurturing and allowing growth, or if it is stifling and strangling the growth around it. Love and friendship changes and sometimes the contracts are done long before you are willing to let go. Try to end all relationships in the state of which they were entered into and that contract has been fulfilled, release and let each other go. Remember the love and the good things and be on your way to whatever is next on your path. Working together is the key. No longer is the journey of the solitary practitioner of the past. Teamwork and loving relationships will take you to the next level, and so trust and gather those who you know are best able to support you at first and help each other grow and prosper together.

Let each one do their part, even if you know that you can do it better. It is vital that you have the time and energy to focus on your journey and the best gift you give to others is to encourage them and watch them grow in whatever way and direction that they choose and for you to do that same. That is the kind of love and support you all need and all the right people will find each other and all the right places will appear when you are ready and so have some fun as you get there.

You Have Much to Celebrate and Much to Master

Plan to attend or participate in at least one fantastic spiritual/personal growth even or gathering this year. It will help your skills and talents to become polished and shine. Find a hobby that feeds your spirit and nourishes your soul as it is so important to be in service for the lightworker, even if you are unable to make a living at it right now. Trust that you are helping in the best possible way right now and you will be. You are exactly where you planned to be, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. You are there.

Eat a more healthful diet rich in vitamins and nutrients from the foods you eat. Support your local farmers and remember that whatever you put into the earth, you or your children, or your children’s children will be eating one day. Treat your physical vessel as the temple that it is and learn for yourself, do not follow what you might have been taught. Let your new energetic self show you what makes it function and vibrate with the new light quotients that are now available to you and for many that will be gradual changes and for some, huge and necessary due to a healing journey. The more healthful you eat and live, the better you will thrive and function.

2013 will bring you much to celebrate as well as much to master. It is he who is doing the fullness of his journey in the balance and harmony of love who will be the celebrator. Enjoy the dance; enjoy the interplays that are taking place as they happen for it will take you far. It is time to tune out and turn off those low vibrating distractions and realise they are all that stand in your way. Once the barriers have been removed and your focus is on your magnificent life and all that you are creating you will see the tangible results you have been waiting for.

Do not let seeming revelations or past heart ache cloud what is. See the blessings in all the past choices, decisions and results. Put the past where it belongs and know that you are all the wiser, more love filled and more prepared for what lays ahead because of the you who is behind. When you return home at the end of the day you will laugh and shake your head that you ever didn’t understand why you chose a path or journey. These have helped you to plant the seeds of what is to come and so wear those battle scars proudly as they were hard fought and won and now it is the time to reap the rewards for what you’ve sown. Also know that at any point you don’t not like the way that you are going, you are completely free to choose again.

Change and discovery take time and adjustment so let the changes unfold as they should. Clearly set your intent of what it is you choose to create and then move forward with the changes that you seek to lead you where you want to go. If you desire to enjoy the outcome, be sure to have the totality of the experience and be proactive with what you want. The more clearly you see your vision that faster and finer will be the result of your experience.

Follow the path that is your dreams. Trust that you can create what you need for your physical world and allow the inner goddess/god to emerge from within. It is an inner journey playing out its role on an outward screen. Decide what roles and parts you wish to play and let that be the force that guides you. Find a way, no matter how small, to make your purpose and your gifts be a part of your experience and you might be surprised how it all comes about in a new reality far grander than any of your dreams.

Let the focus for the year be upon your own evolution and journey, of finding a way to be of service and in your purpose and sharing your light with the world. Communicate with a higher dimensional love and nurture and help each other along the way. Seek a deeper understanding and wisdom for yourself and your life and the brand new spiritual journey you are on. Seek to see the world from the broader perspective of spirit and that will increase your understanding of the quantumness of your existence as well as the magnificent possibilities that lay upon the journey ahead. As you change your world within, the world around you will adjust to the new heart beat. And so, let your focus for the year to be a journey of love, healing and expansion for all that is. Celebrate, for you have passed another marker beyond the wildest dreams of all of the collective yous.

"Greetings. We are the High Council of Orion.
Once again we come to you with a message that is always more than just a message. We want you to understand this about each and every one of our transmissions. For we are sharing words, we’re sharing ideas, and yet, at the same time, as we’ve said in previous messages, there is always an energy exchange that is happening within the course of your connection with our words. The energetic connection is made whether it's heard through the ears, as you listen to the recording, or read with the eyes, or heard because somebody else has read it to you, or even as you might watch it through the sign language interpretation. Whatever way information comes to you there will always be an energetic transmission that will allow you to shift and change. Some of you will understand that there has been a shift. Some of you may not perceive it. Yet there will always be an energetic shifting; a loosening of the grid around you, within you that allows an easier flow of information.

Tonight we’d like to talk about light grids. Many of you are familiar with the idea of the Ley lines within the planet being an energetic system, a circulatory system if you will, of energy that supports the life of the planet and consequently supports all life within and on and around the planet. It's a beautiful grid of light that pulses and breathes and lives and allows life to be sustained on that beautiful blue-green planet.

Above your planet there is an energetic grid system as well. Around the energy body, if you will, of the planet. Many of our transmissions are received by that grid in the space, if you will, beyond your planet, above your planet, surrounding your planet. They meet the grid there and our information is distributed out throughout this grid that surrounds your planet. There are many beings on your planet at this time, in both the human and animal realm, who are here assisting the dissemination of the information that we are sending down that is meeting your external grid, the one that’s off the planet and then bringing that information down onto the planet.

When we say “in the animal kingdom” that we have helpers, we mean that there are beings on the land and in the ocean who are assisting us. For as many of you know, it's not just the human beings who are evolved on the planet. Many of your great beings on your planet are within the animal kingdom. For those of you who are animal communicators you know what we mean. You know the wisdom and the intelligence and the guidance that can be brought forth from some of the great beings in the animal kingdom on the planet at this time.

So why do we share this message with you this day? Because today we want to just shift your awareness. If your awareness has not included this concept that there is an energy grid surrounding your planet that is here in support: to support and nurture and sustain life, then it's good to know that. For those of you who are hearing the messages from the star system Orion are those who have the ability to connect into and receive information from and work with us.

Many of you are lightworkers who are actively engaged in healing and transformational work, not just for oneself, but for the humans and the animal kingdom and the planetary body to uplift, support, move forward in this time of transition. So you are the ones who have this potential to connect into this grid and assist the download, if you will, of information from the High Council of Orion. As we’ve said before, you can receive our messages outside of the channelings by asking. Coming to that quiet space in your heart, allowing your otherworldly concerns to fall away, and literally imagine yourself, through your crown chakra, energy flowing from your heart, up through your crown chakra to connect into that grid.

See and feel and know our energetic transmissions that are infusing the grid, keeping it whole, strong, and our interconnection along that grid, allows the light within the grid, which contains the energy, which contains vast amounts of information, to flow freely. Some will be working with us to keep the grid healthy and strong; even repair places, junctures, that are not of the greatest integrity in terms of their connection. As you shift your awareness to the knowingness that we are here infusing greater levels of light energy into this external grid, as your awareness shifts, you have the ability to connect with it. As you do that knowledge in information can be brought down into your conscious awareness, sometimes your unconscious awareness, but it allows you to infuse more of these energies that are here in support of humanitarian evolution and ascension and transformation at this time.

As you connect with us, and as you connect with the planet by walking on the planet, interacting with the people who you see every day; connecting with family, friends; and as you connect with all those around you: whether they're strangers or loved ones, from the place of the heart you are sharing that energy transmission. It takes no effort. It takes not even any conscious thought necessarily. All it takes is for you to be choosing to anchor your awareness in your heart. To see the world through the eyes of your heart; hear the word world through the ears of your heart; smell and taste and touch the world through your heart; and as you do so you will be sharing greater levels of light that will ease the pathway for many in ways that you cannot even understand. We ask you not to underestimate the power of a kind word, a caring glance, the smile, and the caring touch as many ways of altering the energetic body of anyone you come in contact with. We ask you not to underestimate the power of taking a moment and breathing and dropping into your heart and feeling that space before you respond, especially if it's in an emotional or heated situation. As you take a moment to tune into your heart perhaps you feel the shift in your words, or in your level of stress or excitement or upset. As you connect with that ease, you energetically transform situations.

You are great and powerful beings of light and that is how we see you. And we endeavor to share messages with you, to help you connect more easily to that great being of light and love who you are at your core.

Be blessed!

We are the High Council of Orion.”

My Beloved Ones,
Like a Mighty Lion’s Head I Am Rising in these days suddenly from the hidden and unconscious Depth of Reality into the Light of your Awareness.

And yet, at the same time, with Infinite Gentleness and Tenderness I Embrace your feeling heart.
I Am Rising and Rising to take My rightful Seat in and as the Very Being of the Human Race.

It is My Inherent Seat, the Seat humanity has been denying Me for so long.

But now, as I AM Rising to Satisfy your whole Existence with My Presence, many of you are not yet even aware of this Glorious Event, although I Am your most intimate Beloved, your Very Home and you tend to think that you feel only a new warmness in your heart.

If you would knew Who I Am, you would open the floodgate of your heart to let Me Swell up and Fill your whole Being until even your Expanse by Me would Float thoroughly IN Me.

You all need to open the gates of your heart, the gates of each and all your body-cells, the gates of your very skin, the gate of your adoration and devotion for My Unfathomable Love, to overwhelm your up-to-now fences of separateness.

I Am Rising now with My Very Presence of Infinity to Embrace what Appears to be finite.

Is there – in this Fullness – anything else to report? Because all what you need is Myself, the very Source in Which you are arising.

From there – and Only from there, I Say – you may go after your daily business and enjoyment. Yes, enjoyment, because without Me there is no true Enjoyment in all your endeavors.

The Fullness of My Energy and Embrace makes your life worth, and then you may wander around, explore and create with Me. But without Me all of your otherness-games are fruitless and in vain.

Therefore, notice how I Am Rising My Head now, how I STAND now As the Very Truth of humankind who all Inhere in Me.

My Oceanic Current of Bliss and Embrace Shows you Our Oneness, because I Am the Heart of every human being and of every kingdom on earth. I Am the heart of Gaia and your universe, and of All Universes. And I AM Rising, All-Encompassing Consciousness of All.

I have now started to break open all chains of separate illusions and their consequences, their willful doings, causing pain and suffering. This is going to come to an end now because I AM rising My Head.

Wholly embraced by Me and Acknowledging My Seniority, your body-mind may ascend, or resurrect or shed the vessel. Whatever visual illusion you prefer, it does not make any difference to Me, because Only I Am Real. There Is no death or change or resurrection in Reality, because There Is Only Me.

Let the play of the planets, let the play of the light and the celestial lights be glorious, they all still arise in Me, As My Light Is Above all lights.

Such is My Rising in you now, if you allow It, and the more you allow, the more you are acknowledging your True Home, your very Roots. Your holographic play as a body-mind may be ignited by the currents of evolution and deification, but it never fully expresses Me, although it makes a nice necklace around My Caring Shoulders.

Let Me Tell you, that all your play-grounds are not yours – although they seem to be – but only Mine. Your ownership is part of your illusion of separateness only. Once you are awake in Me, you see that you own nothing, but that I Own all, as I Am no other to you and your Native True Identity.

In the many dimensions and non-dimensions, there still prevails separateness to the one or other degree. Only when you fully awake in Me there is truly no otherness, not separateness, and you Realize that there is Merely One Being, One Consciousness, One Love that Is Playground and Player and Play all The Same.

I Am Rising My Head now, watch it! This is the time to drop your separate dreams and your insubstantial despairs, to expand into joyful Oneness.
Once you sense Me, once you feel Me, you understand that I AM the only Gospel to be told. The Sprinkles of events in Me may be mentioned then As My Play, as the glorious Events of My Singleness.

I AM only You and all Happening. Wake up to Me.

I AM – Your God-Self!

During times when you find yourself on hold in any part of your life, why not give up the idea of being "stuck"? An attitude that would serve your spirit better would be one of curiosity; a healthier questing thru that which is limiting instead of fitful fear that you will not get to your desired next expression. We are living in time streams that support the flow of sacred, energetic, magnificent Divine vibrations. You will never be stuck again, EVER! You might be on hold, but you will never be stuck. 
 
You are a fiery, brilliant Spark of Source Intelligence. When seeking and doing doesn't seem to pay off and you are feeling stuck, consider stopping and waiting in order that you see what might be seeking you. A balanced life involves both polarity expressions. Our hyper-masculine paradigm is so loaded with stimulation, action, and initiative that even females find themselves programmed with the urge to "go and do." The inflowing December energy is Peace, gentleness, opening, and allowing. Even the practice of nurturing is a masculine energy, is it not? If you go and do for others, you are still going and doing. How then, can anything manage to "do you" in return? 
 
Life is a process, not an achievement. The appearance of a finish line, in any respect, is a third dimensional construct, designed to promote the idea of "beginning-middle-end" for 3D experiences. And that is as it should be. Beyond the veil, however, everything that appears to finish really just continues on and on and on. Even these words that would imply to you that mankind has completed one level of training and has moved on to another is a necessary concession, in the process of communicating Eternal Truth within a temporal context. 
 
If what you are seeking eludes you . . . STOP. Running faster and longer will not avail you. Anything that doesn't come easily is not meant for realization in the present moment. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Everything exists, but not everything is perceived in a physical way. Our 3D construct was designed to be a close-up and personal examination of those elements in life that we have been RESISTING, see? They would have to be because in order to become solidified some part of reality would have to be slowed down through personal resistance. 
 
That which does not readily appear for you in the physical can be instantly available to you in the spirit. Only believe, and it is your for the taking. Close your eyes, visualize it and embrace what is yours. Only a doubting Thomas needs physical realization in order to believe and receive. Is that you? Oh well, all right . . . but life does not have to be hard unless you make it so. And if you do, then celebrate! Honor yourself for choosing a rigorous and challenging path. Always honor yourself where you are, whatever you are doing, right here and right now.  
 
For in other universes, you exist only as a symbol . . . part of the Soul that has been contracted there for teaching and assistance.     

All my life I have searched for Love.
Outside of myself.

I was a baby left at a hospital.
In an instant, so began my life experience of looking for Love.
When I opened my soul's eyes and looked for my physical connection to Love, my mother,she was gone.
Love was gone.
Or so I thought.
And I began my life long search to find it.

As a child I looked to find Love from my parents ,at first.
I did not have that extra physical connection to them...and somehow I felt it.
However,I received it beautifully from my adoptive mom and dad.
It grew within me and I love them so much.
But with it came all their ideas of what love was...ideas formed from their life experiences,and thus expectations were born.
I grew up believing that if I met everyone's expectations, that was a way to show Love.
I started to attach conditions and expectations to Love.

As an adult I continued.

I looked to find Love in frienships.
Had a very good idea of what a friend should be.
Once again, I added conditions to Love.
Many times I hurt my friends in the name of Love.

I looked to find Love in a husband.
I received it beautifully...at first.
And then came more expectations and conditions...
And somehow that eternal Love I thought I had found, became no longer eternal.
Once again,Love hurt.

I also looked to find Love in my children.
But of course I added conditions and expectations to them as well...
I thought that by trying to control them, somehow it was the right thing to do...
I added control to Love when dealing with them.
More conditions added.

Now I see how all my life I have been looking to experience Love outside of myself.
To find it in the world.
But I clouded that Love with things that were not Love.
Because that was what I wanted to learn.
I wanted to experience Love and what Love is not.

And now I am in the process of letting go of all the conditions and expectations of what I thought Love was.
All my ideas of what Love should be.
Romantic or otherwise.
There are no conditions in Love.
Nothing attached.
Love just is.

And that Love is in me.
It is me.
And when I allow it to radiate out from myself, it surrounds me.
It changes the world around me.
My world becomes Love based, not fear based, like it was before.
My relationships become Love based, instead of expectations and conditions and emotions and fear based.
My world improves, and grows in abundance.

And so it seems to me that people around me would expand as well.
For how could they not?
Love makes all things grow.
And if I share my Love with those around me...their Love grows too.
Because Love is indeed contagious.
Easily spread.

The Love that resides in us, an aspect of Source, is as pure as the white Light, full of warmth and acceptance.
It is the breath of life and creation.
It shines nonstop like the sun.
It cannot be stopped.
And it is within us that we find it.
It is us.
In our heart.
Where the Source of Love resides.
Where we are remembering, once again, to find it.

Once all things not Love are removed from the entrance to our heart, the door is very easy to open...just turn the handle...step in.

I found Love and it wasn't even hiding from me.
It has been within me all this time.
But what an amazing discovery it has been.
And what an amazing playground to discover it in.

I am in deepest gratitude to be here,at this time, with ALL of you.
I wish for all my Light family to reconnect to their Love within.

In Light and Love

Voyager discovers 'magnetic highway'
By Mira Oberman

• AFP/NASA/JPL-Caltech/AFP/File - An artist's concept released in June 2012 shows NASA's Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecrafts at the edge of the solar system. Voyager 1 has encountered a "magnetic highway" at …more the edge of the solar system, a surprising discovery 35 years after its launch, the experts behind the pioneering craft said Monday less

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has encountered a "magnetic highway" at the edge of the solar system, a surprising discovery 35 years after its launch, the experts behind the pioneering craft said Monday.
Earlier this year a surge in a key indicator fueled hopes that the craft was nearing the so-called heliopause, which marks the boundary between our solar system and outer space.
But instead of slipping away from the bubble of charged particles the Sun blows around itself, Voyager encountered something completely unexpected.
The craft's daily radio reports sent back evidence that the Sun's magnetic field lines was connected to interstellar magnetic fields. Lower-energy charged particles were zooming out and higher-energy particles from outside were streaming in.
They called it a magnetic highway because charged particles outside this region bounced around in all directions, as if trapped on local roads inside the bubble, or heliosphere.
"Although Voyager 1 still is inside the Sun's environment, we now can taste what it's like on the outside because the particles are zipping in and out on this magnetic highway," said Edward Stone, a Voyager project scientist based at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena.
"We believe this is the last leg of our journey to interstellar space. Our best guess is it's likely just a few months to a couple years away. The new region isn't what we expected, but we've come to expect the unexpected from Voyager."
Voyager is now 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) away from the Sun, which is 122 times the distances from the Earth to the Sun. Yet it takes only 17 hours for its radio signal to reach us.
Scientists began to think it was reaching the edge of our solar system two years ago when the solar winds died down and particles settled in space the way they would in a swamp.
An increase in the number of cosmic rays in May also led them to believe Voyager had approached interstellar space.
In July the reading changed again, and by August 25 Voyager was on the magnetic highway. The number of particles from the outside jumped sharply and the number of particles from the inside fell by a factor of 1,000.
"It is as if someone opened the floodgates and they were all moved down the river, also some boaters powered up stream with close to the speed of light have been able to get in at last," said Stamatios Krimigis, Voyager's principal investigator of low-energy charged particles.
While the magnetic field is exciting, Krimigis sounded somewhat disappointed that Voyager had not yet escaped the solar system.
"Nature is very imaginative and Lucy pulled up the football again," he said, making reference to the classic comic strip Peanuts in a conference call with reporters.
The twin Voyager craft -- Voyager 2 was actually launched first, on August 20, 1977, followed by Voyager 1 on September 5 -- were designed primarily to study the biggest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn.
Taking advantage of a planetary alignment, they fulfilled that mission before pushing on to Uranus and Neptune, beaming back stunning images of the first two in 1979 and 1980, and the latter pair in 1986 and 1989.
But with those jobs complete and both craft still functioning perfectly, project managers decided to keep mining information as the devices fly further into the void.
NASA has described Voyager 1 and its companion Voyager 2 as "the two most distant active representatives of humanity and its desire to explore."
The scientists controlling Voyager 1 -- whose 1970s technology gives it just a 100,000th of the computer memory of an eight-gigabyte iPod Nano -- decided to turn off its cameras after it passed Neptune in 1989 to preserve power.
Assuming the craft continues to function normally, they will have to start turning off other on-board instruments from 2020, and it is expected to run out of power completely in 2025.

China prepares to grow vegetables on Mars
By AFP

Chinese astronauts are preparing to grow fresh vegetables on Mars and the moon after researchers successfully completed a preliminary test in Beijing, state media reported.

Four kinds of vegetables were grown in an "ecological life support system", a 300 cubic metre cabin which will allow astronauts to develop their own stocks of air, water and food while on space missions, Xinhua news agency said Monday.
The system, which relies on plants and algae, is "expected to be used in extra-terrestrial bases on the moon or Mars", the report said.
Participants in the experiment could "harvest fresh vegetables for meals", Xinhua quoted Deng Yibing, a researcher at Beijing's Chinese Astronaut Research and Training Centre, as saying.
"Chinese astronauts may get fresh vegetables and oxygen supplies by gardening in extra-terrestrial bases in the future," the report said, adding that the experiment was the first of its kind in China.
China has said it will land an exploratory craft on the moon for the first time next year, as part of an ambitious space programme that includes a long-term plan for a manned moon landing.
The Asian superpower has been ramping up its manned space activities as the United States, long the leader in the field, has scaled back some of its programmes, such as retiring its iconic space shuttle fleet.
In its last white paper on space, China said it was working towards landing a man on the moon -- a feat so far only achieved by the United States, most recently in 1972 -- although it did not give a time frame.
China's first astronaut Yang Liwei said last month that Chinese astronauts may start a branch of China's ruling Communist Party in space, state media reported.
"If we establish a party branch in space, it would also be the 'highest' of its kind in the world," Xinhua quoted Yang as saying.
The astronaut was launched into space and orbited the earth aboard the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft in 2003.

Mercury: Nasa 'Discovers Ice' On Planet
Sky News – Fri, Nov 30, 2012

Scientists believe they have found ice inside craters near Mercury's poles, which they say could reveal more about the building blocks for life on other planets.
The small planet orbits closest to the sun but rotates nearly upright, meaning some areas on its poles never see sunlight.
Nasa researchers suspect the ice and other organic material accumulated in the shadowed areas of craters at the poles after comets and asteroids delivered the material to Mercury's surface.
"The new data indicates the water ice in Mercury's polar regions, if spread over an area the size of Washington DC, would be more than two miles (3.2km) thick," said Nasa researcher David Lawrence.
He added: "If you add it all up, you have the order of 100 billion to one trillion metric tons of ice."
The conclusions were drawn from data sent back to Earth from Nasa's Messenger spacecraft, which landed on the planet in 2011.
Further study of the material could explain more about how life began on Earth, the scientists said at a news conference.
"Messenger has revealed a very important chapter in the story of how water ice and other volatile materials have been delivered to the inner planets, including Mercury," said Sean C. Solomon, principal investigator of the Messenger mission.
"It's extraordinary that this chapter is so well-preserved on the planet closest to the sun."
James L. Green, director of Nasa's planetary science division, said the finding "bodes well for a continued search for water elsewhere in the solar system".
Meanwhile, Nasa has dismissed rumours that its Mars Curiosity rover has made a significant discovery on the red planet.
Speculation had been stoked when a Nasa researcher said that data coming back from soil samples was a discovery "for the history books".
But a statement from the organisation said: "Rumours of major new findings at this early stage are incorrect."

What if I told you that I had been inside a fantastic tunnel system that runs beneath the continent of South America? Would you think me a liar? Or worse yet, insane? Though I admit it is a story that seems difficult to believe, I am telling the truth. Read on, dear reader, and decide if I am mad or lying.

Although it seems incredible, there is a great deal of evidence to show that a network of ancient tunnels exists throughout much of South America. Legends abound on this tunnel system, and I can state that I have even been inside some of the tunnels on this strangest of continents.

The Gold of the Incas

Legends of tunnels in South America surfaced almost immediately after the conquest when the Spaniards discovered that the Incas had hidden much of their treasure-sacred relics of pure gold either beneath the Inca capital of Cuzco or in a secret city known as Paititi. Either way, legend had it that a tunnel system was used.

The history of the conquest of the Inca Empire by the Spanish is one of the most bizarre and incredible stories of history. That Francisco Pizarro with only 183 men could conquer a sophisticated empire of several million people is a feat that has never been equaled, and probably never will be!

Pizarro made his first expedition down the Pacific Coast from Panama in 1527, attracted by rumors of gold and other treasure. A Greek of his company went alone from the ship into an Inca village on the coast, and was taken to be a returning god by the natives. They brought him to a temple filled with more gold than he had seen in his life. Returning to the ship, he told Pizarro about the fabulous wealth he had seen. Satisfied that the rumors were true, Pizarro returned to Panama and then to Spain to prepare another expedition.

He set out again in 1531, landed on a lonely beach in Ecuador and began marching inland. He was entering the newly united Inca empire, which had just recovered from a civil war. The people of Peru, Bolivia, and rest of the Inca empire were not all true Incas, but largely Quechua and Aymara Indians. Incas were the ruling elite, of a different race, who believed themselves descended from "Manco Capac," a red-haired, bearded messenger from God.

After taking the town of Tumbes and putting quite of few of the people to death, the Spanish conquistadors continued their march south. At Cajamarca, they were received by Inca royalty with great pomp, splendor, and gifts. The ruler of the Incas (or more correctly, "the Inca") Atahualpa was impressed by their beards and white skin, believing them to fulfill a prophecy about the return of Viracocha, the legendary bearded prophet from a far away land who had visited the South American peoples many hundreds of years before.

American Indians have no facial hair, though the first Incas are said to have had reddish-brown hair and beards, like Viracocha. Therefore, Atahualpa believed that the Spanish were Incas themselves, Sons of the Sun, gods in their own right, just as he, the Inca, was a god.

The conquistadors remained in Cajamarca for a time, while the Inca showered them with gifts. In fact, the Incas believed that the horses ridden by the Spaniards were also men, and assumed by the way the horses constantly chewed on their bits that these were the horses' fodder. The Incas would put bars of gold and silver in the horses' feeding troughs, saying, "Eat this, it is much better than iron." The Spaniards found this quite amusing, and encouraged the Indians to keep bringing gold and silver for the horses to eat!

Finally, Atahualpa himself came to the Spaniards from his nearby palace. During this audience inside the walls of Cajamarca, Atahualpa had with him no less than 30,000 men, all under strict command not to harm the Spaniards, even if they themselves were attacked. This prohibition proved to be their downfall. The conquistadors kept many of their men in hiding, ready to attack, as Pizarro and his generals with the Dominican friar Vincente de Valverde had their audience with Atahualpa in the townsquare.

The Inca welcomed them as Viracocha Incas and fellow Sons of the Sun. Then the friar Valverde addressed the Inca, telling him about the one true faith, and the most powerful men on earth, the Pope and King Charles of Spain. After a long speech translated by the Indian Felipe, the Inca asked the source of the friar's material, who responded by handing the Inca a Bible. The Inca placed it to his ear. Hearing nothing, he threw it to the ground.

This rather un-pious gesture from Atahualpa was just what the conquistadors were waiting for. The Spaniards attacked in full force, many from hiding, and began a slaughter of the Incas. They killed literally thousands, many of whom were trying to escape. Not one conquistador was hurt, with the exception of Francisco Pizarro himself, who was wounded by one of his own men as he reached for Atahualpa.

And so was Atahualpa kidnapped by a mere 160 gold-crazed conquistadors (some of the original 183 had died of disease and in earlier battles). To secure his freedom, Atahualpa offered to give the Spaniards gold in exchange for his release. Sensing that they still did not realize the fabulous wealth at his command, Atahualpa stood up in the room in which he was imprisoned and reached as high as he could; he offered to fill the room with gold to that height in return for his release. The Spaniards agreed.

Complicating the story at this point were several intrigues. First, there was a great rivalry between Francisco Pizarro, his brother Ferdinand, and Don Diego de Almagro. Indeed, Francisco Pizarro and de Almagro were bitter enemies. Second, Atahualpa was still at odds with his brother Huascar, who by many accounts was the legitimate heir to the Inca throne. It had been the civil war between the two brothers that had weakened the Inca Empire just prior to the arrival of the Spanish. While he was still in captivity, Atahualpa ordered Huascar arrested, believing him to be plotting a takeover of the Empire. Both Atahualpa and Huascar now took a rather fatalistic attitude to the events taking place, as their father had predicted such a conflict before his death.

Third, most of the subjects of the Inca Empire were not Incas, but common Indians of entirely different races and cultural heritages. Few were loyal to the Incas, and many of them eventually sided with the Spanish. Finally, again from captivity, Atahualpa ordered his brother Huascar killed, thinking this would save the empire from him, believing that the Spaniards may not release him even after the ransom was paid. All of these factors together set the stage for the fall of the greatest civilization extant in the Western Hemisphere at the time.

It took some time for the gold to reach Cajamarca, as it had to be brought from Quito, Cuzco, and other cities that were hundreds of miles away. While the ransom was being gathered, Pizarro sent some of the conquistadors as emissaries to Quito and Cuzco to ensure that Atahualpa had not ordered an assault on Cajamarca. When they returned, they reported that fabulous wealth was to be found in these cities.

The Incas did not use gold, silver, and precious stones for currency as Europeans and other cultures did. Instead, they were valued for decoration, and used extensively for religious objects, furnishings, and even utensils. Many buildings had interior gold-lined walls, and exterior gold rain gutters and plumbing. Therefore, when the Inca was ransomed for a room full of gold, to the Incas it was as if they were paying with pots and pans, old plumbing, and rain gutters!

These were sent gladly, though religious objects and those with esthetic value were not. The ransom paid has been estimated to have been 600-650 tons of gold and jewels and 384 million "pesos de oro," the equivalent of $500,000,000 in 1940. Given the rise in the price of gold since then, today that ransom would be worth almost five billion dollars.

Not surprisingly, once the ransom was paid, Atahualpa was not released. The Indian interpreter, Felipe, had fallen in love with one of Atahualpa's wives, and he was keen to see that the Inca did not survive. He spread the rumor that Atahualpa was raising an army to storm Cajamarca. This being the only excuse the Spaniards needed to execute the Inca, he was condemned to death. Spaniards who had befriended Atahualpa advised him to convert to Christianity before his execution, which would allow the Dominical fathers to strangle him as a Christian rather than burn him at the stake as a heretic. He complied, was baptized, then strangled. This was done even though more gold was on its way, as part of a second ransom, worth much more than the first.

Meanwhile, three Spanish emissaries came back from Cuzco, the Inca capital, with even more treasure, looted from the Sun Temple. They brought an immense cargo of gold and silver vessels loaded on the backs of 200 staggering, sweating Indians. And the second ransom train of 11,000 llamas was on its way to Pizarro's camp. Loaded with gold, it had been sent by Atahualpa's queen from Cuzco. But when they heard of the Inca's assassination, the Indians drove the llamas off the road and buried the 100 pounds of gold that each animal carried.

Sir Clements Markham, who had a particularly keen knowledge of Peru, believed that the gold was hidden in the mountains behind Azangaro. The Cordillera de Azangaro is a wild sierra little known to foreigners, the name in Quechua meaning, "place farthest away." It is believed that this was the easternmost point in the Andean cordilleras which the old Inca empire dominated. However, other versions of this story say that the treasure was hidden in a system of tunnels that goes through the Andes.

One fantastic treasure story involves "The Garden of the Sun." Sarmiento, a Spanish historian (1532-1589), wrote that this subterranean garden was located near the Temple of the Sun.
"They had a garden in which the lumps of earth were pieces of fine gold. These were cleverly sown with maize the stalks, leaves and ears of which were all of gold. They were so well planted that nothing would disturb them. Besides all this, they had more than twenty sheep with their young. The shepherds who guarded the sheep were armed with slings and staves made of gold. There were large numbers of jars of gold and silver pots, vases, and every kind of vessel."
Shortly after the conquest of Peru, Cieza de Leon, part Inca and part Spanish, wrote,
"If all the gold that is buried in Peru ... were collected, it would be impossible to coin it, so great the quantity; and yet the Spaniards of the conquest got very little, compared with what remains. The Indians said, 'The treasure is so concealed that even we, ourselves, know not the hiding place!'

"If, when the Spaniards entered Cuzco they had not committed other tricks, and had not so soon executed their cruelty in putting Atahualpa to death, I know not how many great ships would have been required to bring such treasures to old Spain as is now lost in the bowels of the earth and will remain so because those who buried it are now dead."
What Cieza de Leon did not say was that, although the Indians as a whole did not know where this treasure lay, there were a few among them who did know and closely guarded the secret.

After seeing the fineness of the treasures in Atahualpa's first ransom, Pizarro had demanded that he be shown the source of this fabulous wealth before he would release the Inca. He had heard that the Incas possessed a secret and inexhaustible mine or depository, which lay in a vast, subterranean tunnel running many miles underground. Here was supposedly kept the accumulated riches of the country.

However, legend has it that Atahualpa's queen consulted the Black Mirror at the Temple of the Sun, a sort of magic mirror similar to that in the story of Snow White. In it she saw the fate of her husband, whether she paid the ransom or not. She realized that her husband and the empire were doomed and that she must certainly not reveal the secret of the tunnels or wealth to the gold crazed conquistadors.

The horrified queen ordered that the entrance to the great tunnel be closed under the direction of the priests and magicians. A large door into a rocky wall of a cliff gorge near Cuzco, it was sealed by filling its depths with huge masses of rock. Then the disguised entrance was hidden under green grass and bushes, so that not the slightest sign of any fissure was perceptible to the eye.

Conquistadors, adventurers, treasure hunters, and historians have all wondered about and pursued this legend. What incredible treasure did the Incas seal into these tunnels? And as to the tunnels themselves, when and how were they made, and where do they go?

Researchers like Harold Wilkins believed that the tunnels run from the central Andes around Cuzco for hundreds of miles north and south through the mountains, as far as Chile and Ecuador. Wilkins believed that there were other spurs of these tunnels that ran to the east, coming out at the lost city of Paititi in the high jungle somewhere. Another spur was said to run to the west, down to the coastal desert of Peru.

This spur of the tunnel system could have come out near Lima, the area of the ancient Inca city of Pachacamac, or near Pisac and the Candlestick of the Andes, which is further south along the coast.

Wilkins believed, as did apparently Madame Blavatsky (a well known psychic and founder of The Theosophical Society), that a spur of the ancient tunnel system came out in the Atacama Desert near to Arica and the current border between Chile and Peru, which is further south still. Madame Blavatsky related the story, retold by Wilkins, of the ancient treasure and tunnel system.

Sometime around the year 1844, a Catholic priest was called to absolve a dying Quechua Indian. Whispering quietly to the priest, the old Indian told an amazing story about a labyrinth and a series of tunnels built far before the days of the Inca emperors of the Sun. It was told under the inviolable seal of the confessional, and could not be divulged by the priest under pain of death. This story would probably never have been told, except that the priest, while traveling to Lima, met with a "sinister Italian." The priest let out a hint of great treasure, and was later supposedly hypnotized by the Italian to get him tell the story!
"I will reveal to thee what no White man, be he Spaniard, or American, or English, knows," the dying Indian had said to the priest.
He then told of the queen's closing of the tunnels when the Inca Atahualpa was being held captive by Pizarro. The priest added under hypnosis that the Peruvian government, in about 1830, had heard rumors of these tunnels and sent an expedition out to find and explore them. They were unsuccessful.

In another similar story, the Father Pedro del Sancho tells in his Relacion that in the early period of the conquest of Peru, another dying Indian made a confession. Father del Sancho wrote,
"...my informant was a subject of the Incan Emperor. He was held in high esteem by those in power at Cuzco. He had been a chieftain of his tribe and made a yearly pilgrimage to Cuzco to worship his idolistic gods. It was a custom of the Incas to conquer a tribe or nation and take their idols to Cuzco. Those who wished to worship their ancient idols were forced to travel to the Incan capital. They brought gifts to their heathen idols. They were also expected to pay homage to the Incan emperor during these journeys."
Del Sancho continues,
"These treasures were placed in ancient tunnels that were in the land when the Incas arrived. Also placed in these subterranean repositories were artifacts and statues deemed sacred to the Incas. When the hoard had been placed in the tunnels, there was a ceremony conducted by the high priest. Following these rites, the entrance to the tunnels was sealed in such a manner that one could walk within a few feet and never be aware of the entrance.

"...My informant said that the entrance lay in his land, the territory which he ruled. It was under his direction and by his subjects that the openings were sealed. All who were in attendance were sworn to silence under the penalty of death. Although I requested more information on the exact location of the entrance, my informant refused to divulge more than what has been written down here."
Another interesting story of the tunnels around Cuzco and the incredible treasure they contain involves Carlos Inca, a descendant of an Inca emperor, who had married a Spanish lady, Dona Maria Esquivel. His Castilian wife thought that he was not ambitious enough, and that he did not keep her in the style she deemed befitting her rank, or his descent.

Poor Carlos was plagued night and day by his wife's nagging, until late one night, he blindfolded her and led her out into the patio of the hacienda. Under the cold light of the stars, when all around were asleep and no unseen eye was on the watch, he began to lead her by the shoulders. Although he was exposing himself to many risks including torture and death at the hands of the Quechuas, he proceeded to reveal his secret.

He twirled her around three times, then, assuming her disoriented, led her down some steps into a concealed vault in or under Sacsayhuaman Fortress. When he removed her blinds, her tongue was finally silenced. She stood on the dusty, stone floor of an ancient vault, cluttered with gold and silver ingots, exquisite jewelry, and temple ornaments. Around the walls, ranged in fine gold, were life-size statues of long dead Inca kings. Only the golden Disk of the Sun, which the old Incas treasured most, was missing.

Carlos Inca was supposedly one of the custodians of the secret hiding place of Inca treasure that eluded the Spanish and other treasure seekers for centuries. The U.S. Commissioner to Peru in 1870 commented on this episode:
"All I can say is if that secret chamber which she had entered has not been found and despoiled, it has not been for want of digging ...Three-hundred years have not sufficed to eradicate the notion that enormous treasures are concealed within the fortress of Cuzco. Nor have three-hundred years of excavation, more or less constant, entirely discouraged the searchers for tapadas, or treasure mounds."
There certainly appears to be some repetition and borrowing between some of these stories. Yet most historians and archaeologists believe that they are based on some fact. That tunnels and lost treasure exist, there seems to be no doubt. But the real questions are, where are they? And, who made them?

The treasure of the Incas is believed to still be hidden in the tunnels that run under Cuzco and the ruins of the megalithic fortress mentioned above called Sacsayhuaman.

The Fortress of Sacsayhuaman

The stories of a subterranean world fascinated me and I decided that South America was a good place to investigate whatever reality there might be in the many legends. Lost treasure has its appeal as well, and many tunnels would probably never be explored if it were not for some promised treasure at the end.

I began my search in Peru where I visited Ica, Pisco and Nazca to look at the mummies, geoglyphs and catacombs. I then continued on to Cuzco to look into the tunnels that were rumored to be in the vicinity.

During this visit I went to Sacsayhuaman. The road leads up from the Plaza de Armas to a hill on the north side of Cuzco. At a leveling off of the hill, looking over the Cuzco Valley, is the colossal fortress, one of the most imposing edifices ever constructed. Walking around, we could hardly believe our eyes! Here was a stone structure that covered the entire hill; it appeared almost unworldly. It contains tunnel entrances that are sealed. The visitor can walk a short distance inside some of the tunnels, but they are ultimately blocked after 20 or 30 feet.

All over Sacsayhuaman gigantic blocks of stone, some weighing more than 200 tons (400 thousand pounds) are fitted together perfectly. The enormous stone blocks are cut, faced, and fitted so well that even today one cannot slip the blade of a knife, or even a piece of paper between them. No mortar is used, and no two blocks are alike. Yet they fit perfectly, and it has been said by some engineers that no modern builder with the aid of tools of the finest steel could produce results more accurate.

Each individual stone had to have been planned well in advance; a 20-tonstone, let alone one weighing 80 to 200 tons, cannot just be dropped casually into position with any hope of attaining that kind of accuracy! The stones are locked and dovetailed into position, making them earthquake-proof. Indeed, after many devastating earthquakes in the Andes over the last few hundred years, the blocks are still perfectly fitted, while the Spanish Cathedral in Cuzco has been leveled twice.

Though this fantastic fortress was supposedly built just a few hundred years ago by the Incas, they leave no record of having built it, nor does it figure in any of their legends. How is it that the Incas, who reportedly had no knowledge of higher mathematics, no written language, no iron tools, and did not even use the wheel, are credited with having built this cyclopean complex of walls and buildings? Frankly, one must literally grope for an explanation, and it is not an easy one.

When the Spaniards first arrived in Cuzco and saw these structures, they thought that they had been built by the devil himself, because of their enormity. Indeed, nowhere else can you see such large blocks placed together so perfectly. I have traveled all over the world searching for ancient mysteries and lost cities, but I had never in my life seen anything like this!

The builders of the stoneworks were not merely good stone masons- they were excellent! Similar stoneworks can be seen throughout the Cuzco Valley. These are usually made up of finely cut, rectangular blocks of stone weighing up to perhaps a ton. A group of strong people could lift a block and put it in place; this is undoubtedly how some of the smaller structures were put together. But in Sacsayhuaman, Cuzco, and other ancient Inca cities, one can see gigantic blocks cut with 30 or more angles each.

At the time of the Spanish conquest, Cuzco was at its peak, with perhaps 100,000 Inca subjects living in the ancient city. The fortress of Sacsayhuaman could hold the entire population within its walls in case of war or natural catastrophe. Some historians have stated that the fortress was built a few years before the Spanish invasion, and that the Incas take credit for the structure. But, the Incas could not recall exactly how or when it was built!

The Spanish dismantled as much of Sacsayhuaman as they could. When Cuzco was first conquered, Sacsayhuaman had three round towers at the top of the fortress, behind three concentric megalithic walls. These were taken apart stone by stone, and the stones used to build new structures for the Spanish.

Sacsayhuaman was also equipped with a subterranean network of aqueducts. Water was brought down from the mountains into a valley, then had to ascend a hill before reaching Sacsayhuaman. This indicates that the engineers who built the intricate system knew that water rises to its own level.

Garcilaso de la Vega, who wrote just after the conquest, said this about the tunnels beneath Sacsayhuaman:
"An underground network of passages, which was as vast as the towers themselves, connected them with one another. This was composed of a quantity of streets and alleyways which ran in every direction, and so many doors, all of them identical, that the most experienced men dared not venture into this labyrinth without a guide, consisting of a long thread tied to the first door, which unwound as they advanced.

I often went up to the fortress with boys of my own age, when I was a child, and we did not dare to go farther than the sunlight itself, we were so afraid of getting lost, after all that the Indians had told us on the subject ... the roofs of these underground passages were composed of large flat stones resting on rafters jutting out from the walls."
There are indeed tunnels that one may enter at Sacsayhuaman and nearby Qenqo. If one walks behind the Inca's stone seat inside the fortress toward Qenqo, one will find all sorts of bizarre stone cuttings, upside-down staircases, and seemingly senseless rock carving on a grand scale. There are also tunnel entrances in this area. Various rock-cut tunnels lead down into the earth and at least one goes to another part of the mountain area of Qenqo. All of these tunnels are blocked at some point and this area of Sacsayhuaman is still being excavated by Peruvian archaeologists.

The area is quite fascinating, but it seems quite clear that one cannot penetrate into the tunnels beneath Cuzco from these now-blocked tunnel entrances.

The old chroniclers say the tunnels were connected with the Coricancha, a name given to the Sun Temple and its surrounds in old Cuzco.

The Coricancha was originally larger than it is today and contained many ancient temples, including the Temples of the Sun and the Moon, and all of these buildings were believed to be connected with Sacsayhuaman by underground tunnels. The place where these tunnels started was known as the Chincana, or "the place where one gets lost."

This entrance was known up until the mid-1800s, when it was walled up.

________________________________________

Part Two

In his book "Jungle Paths and Inca Ruins", Dr.William Montgomery McGovern states:
"Near this fortress [Sacsayhuaman] are several strange caverns reaching far into the earth. Here altars to the Gods of the Deep were carved out of the living rock, and the many bones scattered about tell of the sacrifices which were offered up here. The end of one of these caverns, Chincana, has never been found. It is supposed to communicate by a long underground passage with the Temple of the Sun in the heart of Cuzco. In this cavern is supposed, and with good reason, to be hidden a large part of the golden treasure of the Inca Emperors which was stored away lest it fall into the hands of the Spaniards. But the cavern is so huge, so complicated, and its passages are so manifold, that its secret has never been discovered."

"One man, indeed, is said to have found his way underground to the Sun Temple, and when he emerged, to have had two golden bars in his hand. But his mind had been affected by days of blind wandering in the subterranean caves, and he died almost immediately afterwards. Since that time many have gone into the cavern-never to return again. Only a month or two before my arrival the disappearance of three prominent people in this Inca cave caused the Prefect of the Province of Cuzco to wall in the mouth of the cavern, so that the secret and the treasures of the Incas seem likely to remain forever undiscovered."
Another story, which may well be derived from the same source, tells of a treasure hunter who went into the tunnels and wandered through the maze for several days.

One morning, about a week after the adventurer had vanished, a priest was conducting mass in the church of Santo Domingo. The priest and his congregation were astonished to hear sudden, sharp rappings from beneath the church's stone floor. Several worshipers crossed themselves and murmured about the devil. The priest quieted his congregation, then directed the removal of a large stone slab from the floor (this was the converted Temple of the Sun!). The group was surprised to see the treasure hunter emerge with a bar of gold in each hand.

Even the Peruvian government got into the act of exploring these Cuzco tunnels, ostensibly for scientific purposes. The Peruvian Serial Documental del Peru describes an expedition undertaken by staff from Lima University in 1923. Accompanied by experienced speleologists, the party penetrated the trapezoid-shaped tunnels starting from an entrance at Cuzco.

They took measurements of the subterranean aperture and advanced in the direction of the coast. After a few days, members of the expedition at the entrance of the tunnel lost contact with the explorers inside, and no communication came for twelve days. Then a solitary explorer returned to the entrance, starving. His reports of an underground labyrinth of tunnels and deadly obstacles would make an Indiana Jones movie seem tame by comparison. His tale was so incredible that his colleagues declared him mad. To prevent further loss of life in the tunnels, the police dynamited the entrance.

More recently, the big Lima earthquake of 1972 brought to light a tunnel system beneath that coastal city. During salvage operations, workers found long passages no one had ever known existed. The following systematic examination of Lima's foundations led to the astonishing discovery that large parts of the city were undercut by tunnels, all leading into the mountains. But their terminal points could no longer be ascertained because they had collapsed during the course of the centuries. Did the Cuzco tunnels explored in 1923 lead to Lima?

As far back as the 1940s, Harold Wilkins, in his books ("Mysteries of Ancient South America" and "Secret Cities of Old South America") wrote that they did.

Tunnels to the Hidden City of Paititi?

In my quest for the lost treasure of the Incas and the tunnel systems associated with it, I joined up in the search for Paititi, the ultimate lost city of the Incas according to Cuzco legends.

While the Incas placed some of their hoard in the Cuzco tunnel system to hide it from the conquering Spanish, other treasure (including 14 gold-clad mummies of the former Inca emperors removed from the Sun Temple) was sent by llama caravan into the Antisuyo region of South America, the mountain jungle area east of Cuzco. The caravan's destination was a mountain-jungle city called "Paikikin" in Quechua which is supposed to mean "like the other." The Spanish called this city El Gran Paititi.

It is well known that the Incan Empire at its height stretched from north of Quito in Ecuador, south along the Andes and west to the coast, all the way down into central Chile. What is not generally known is just how far east the Incas had set up their roads, trade routes and cities. The Incas did have a trade network that stretched eastward deep into the jungles on the east side of the Andes. Salt was frequently carried across the mountains in exchange for gold and feathers.

According to Jorge Arellano, director of the Institute of Archaeology in La Paz, Bolivia, Inca ruins have been found in the Bolivian state of Beni, which is several hundred miles east of the Andes and in dense jungle. He says that a series of small fortresses in the jungle form a line in an easterly direction. He believes that the Incas used these fortresses as stop overs on their migration from the Madre de Dios area of Peru, believed by some to be the site of Paititi.

Though there is little doubt that Paititi did exist, there is a great deal of myth surrounding this lost city. Harold Wilkins believes that the Incas escaped from the Spanish after the battle of Ollantaytambo by fleeing through a branch of the tunnel system discussed earlier, heading east toward Paititi. This may well be true, though it was hardly necessary for the Incas to have fled through a tunnel. They could have left by canoe, then crossed the mountains using the excellent Inca roads.

Assuming this tunnel did exist, Wilkins thinks it went due east from Cuzco, through the jungles, to the empire of Paititi. He indicates that Paititi was a separate kingdom, ruled by mysterious white men whose king was known as the "Tiger King." According to Wilkins, Paititi means "jaguar." The Tiger King, or Jaguar King, lived in a white house by a great lake.

In 1681, a Jesuit missionary named Fray Lucero wrote of information given to him by Indians in the Rio Huallaga area of northeastern Peru. They told him that the lost city of Gran Paititi lay behind the forests and mountains east of Cuzco.

The Jesuit wrote,
"This empire of Gran Paytite has bearded, white Indians. The nation called Curveros, these Indians told me, dwell in a place called Yurachuasi or the 'white house.' For king, they have a descendant of the Inca Tupac Amaru, who with 40,000 Peruvians, fled far away into the forests, before the face of the conquistadors of Francisco Pizarro's day in AD 1533.

He took with him a rich treasure, and the Castilians who pursued him fought each other in the forests, leaving the savage Chuncho Indios, who watched their internecine struggles, to kill off the wounded and shoot the survivors with arrows. I myself have been shown plates of gold and half-moons and ear-rings of gold that have come from this mysterious nation."
This story is independently documented in the book "Amazonas y El Maranon" by Fray Manuel Rodriguez, published in 1684, according to Wilkins.

Many people seem to confuse Gran Paititi and El Dorado, though the legends locate them thousands of miles apart. El Dorado is often believed to be in the vicinity of the Orinoco River near the borders of Columbia, Venezuela and Brazil. In early 1559, the Viceroy of Peru wanted to rid his country of unemployed soldiers and troublesome Spanish adventurers, so he sent a party of 370 Spaniards and thousands of Andean Indians on an expedition down the Amazon in search of a legendary city of gold.

This expedition was an utter failure, during which the men mutinied, and a psychopathic soldier, Lopez de Aguirre, killed the leader Pedro de Ursua. Taking over the expedition, he abandoned the search for "El Dorado," vowing to return and conquer Peru itself. This wild and incredible adventure, during which the women warriors known as Amazons were first reported, and the Amazon River was first navigated, was made into a German movie called, Aguirre: The Wrath of God.

This disastrous expedition was the beginning of the confusion between El Dorado and Paititi, the real city of gold. It searched in an area far removed from where Paititi appears to be located, and this is why most adventurers after "El Dorado" searched in the vicinity of Columbia and Venezuela instead of Peru, where the legends actually originated.

One adventurer who searched for Paititi was Pedro Bohorques, a penniless soldier who pretended to be a nobleman. In 1659, after serving in Chile, Bohorques became a wanderer. Calling himself Don Pedro el Inca, he swore that royal Inca blood flowed through his veins. Bohorques set himself up as emperor of an Indian kingdom at the headwaters of the Huallaga River south of Cuzco. He converted almost 10,000 Pelados Indians into his service, and declared all Spaniards fair game. He also sent some of his followers on a search for Paititi, hoping to find the treasure.

When these men did not come back with gold, Bohorques left his empire and went to Lima. Unfortunately, the Spaniards had heard of his decree against them, threw him in prison, and sentenced him to death. He pled for his life, promising to reveal the location of the Kingdom of Gran Paititi if he was released. The judges refused his offer, but many gold hunters visited him in prison, begging him to share his secret with them. He refused, and went to the gallows in 1667, much to the chagrin of the treasure hunters of Lima.

Actually, it is not likely that Bohorques knew the location of Paititi (since his adventurers returned without gold), though he was in the correct area, and may have learned the general location. Also, Paititi was probably still a living city at this time, so it would have been difficult for Bohorques or anyone else to enter.

Of course, the search for Gran Paititi still continues, and many explorers feel that they are getting close. Today, many feel that Paititi is somewhere in the Paucartambo area of Peru, east of Cuzco toward the Madre de Dios River.

This is the same area in which Fray Lucero indicated that Gran Paititi could be found. Some expeditions, however, because they either found the city or disturbed the Indians too much in their search, end up dead. Boston anthropologist Gregory Deyermenjian and British photographer Michael Mirecki mounted their own expedition into this area in 1984. Their goal was a jungle mountain in eastern Peru called Apucatinti. I accompanied Deyermenjian.

According to many sources, the mountain on which Paititi is located is called Apucatinti, though exactly which mountain is really Apucatinti is open for debate. The word means "Lord of the Sun" in Quechua, and any mountain with this name (there are several) is a good candidate for having Paititi on it.

As noted above, Paititi comes from the Quechua word "Paikikin" which means "the same as the other" which has also been translated as "the same as Cuzco." What could it mean, "The same as Cuzco?" Deyermenjian thinks that this indicates Paititi is another stone city, similar in its construction to that found at Cuzco and Sacsayhuaman; a megalithic city like Machu Picchu. On the other hand, it may mean that Paititi is like Cuzco in the sense that it is the abode of the Inca kings, as Cuzco once was. If Paititi was built from scratch by the retreating Inca royal fringe, then the ruins are more likely to be similar to those found at Espiritu Pampa: small and unimpressive. Machu Picchu also has part of a tunnel that can be found off the trail on the northern part of the city.

Historically, Gran Paititi was not reported as being located on top of a mountain, but rather by a lake. If these older reports are correct, Paititi may be further into the jungles to the east or south. Some researchers even believe that it may still be a living city, where the Inca tradition is still carried on. Many areas, particularly to the east, could have remained under Inca control for quite some time after the Spanish conquest.

Then again, Apucatinti may well be the site of a long-dead Paititi. Demoralized and cut off from their former empire, the surviving Incas could have existed on top of this remote mountain in a self-sufficient city much like Machu Picchu, until they died out. Deyermenjian backs this theory, and thinks that the city effectively died about the year 1600, a mere 30 or 40 years after the Incas escaped to their refuge there.

In June of 1986, I accompanied Greg Deyermenjian and a party of Peruvians to scale the Apucatinti in Mameria. It took one week by horseback to the edge of the jungle, and a further two weeks of living with Machiguenga Indians in effort to scale the peak. We discovered Inca buildings, ovens, tombs and coca plantations, as well as the first-ever structures in the Madre de Dios district of Peru, but the ascent to the top of the mountain was extremely difficult. The mountain has no fresh water, and is covered in thick, almost impenetrable jungle.

We ascended the mountain for five days from the base, with Machiguenga Indians leading the way. However, after running out of food and water, we had to return to the Indian village.

In August of 1986, Deyermenjian returned to Mameria by himself, and made it to the summit of Apucatinti with his Indian guides. To their disappointment, neither Paititi nor any other structures were at the summit of the mountain. It had been a false lead, but it had looked like a good prospect. Deyermenjian continued to search for Paititi, focusing on a nearby area that was even more remote than Mameria and Apucatinti.

It urned my attentions to Bolivia.

A Tunnel in Eastern Bolivia

With several old friends from the World Explorers Club, including Carl Hart, Steve Yenouskas, and Raul Fernandez, I journeyed to Peru and Bolivia to discover what we could of the tunnels in South America. After a week in Peru, we set off one day from Cuzco for Tiahuanaco and then to eastern Bolivia to the strange hilltop city of Samaipata. I had visited Samaipata by myself in the mid-80s, and wrote about the strange "fort" in my book "Lost Cities & Ancient Mysteries of South America".

At the time, I was the 153rd person to visit the site since it had been opened to the public in 1974.

Erich von Daniken had visited the site in the early 70s and had described it as a "rocket launching pad" for his alien visitors. The site itself was bizarre enough: high on the summit of mountain was a large outcrop of rock that had been cut into various rooms, channels, pools, chairs, petroglyphs and odd, crisscross grooves.

The whole place was extremely ancient and worn, and apparently there had once been walls and buildings that were now long gone. A large jaguar was carved into the solid at the western end of the "fort." Was Samaipata a cult center for the jaguar? Was it a mining city? Or possibly a remote fort on the eastern edge of the mountain highlands, watching over the lower valleys to the east? No archaeologist has so far come up with an answer to Samaipata, including who built the "city" and when. On a National Geographic map of archaeological sites in South America that I carried with me, Samaipata was not even listed.

The strangest part of Samaipata was a feature that was hidden in the jungle about a 100 meters south of the main fort, a tunnel into the ground that was called by the locals the Camino de la Chinchana, or the "Path of the Subterranean."

The Camino de la Chinchana was a tunnel that began as a two-meter opening to a pit that went straight down for about 6 meters. Once one had made the first descent down to the floor of the pit, something that would take a rope or a ladder, then one would find himself standing in a tunnel that was high enough and wide enough for a man to stand without stooping. This tunnel then descended downhill from the fort, apparently going in a northwest direction.

According to the caretaker of Samaipata, the tunnel had been explored once by Bolivian archaeologists who had entered the pit with a rope and had advanced some 100 meters or more into the tunnel. The air became stale and a small cave-in had blocked a portion of the tunnel.

Without proper breathing gear, the team was unable to advance any farther into the earth.
The tunnel was clearly man-made, and at least around the entrance, it was dug out of dirt, rather than cut out of solid rock. I asked the caretaker of Samaipata where this tunnel was supposed to go. He pointed to the north, across the valley, to a mountain about 15 kilometers away. This mountain looked something like the back molar in a row of teeth.

"There", he said, pointing to the mountain, "there to La Muela del Diablo, is where the archaeologists say that the tunnel goes. On that mountain is supposed to be another city, just as here."
Using my dictionary, I translated La Muela del Diablo as "The Devil's Dimple." This tunnel was said to run from the top of the mountain of Samaipata down to the valley, beneath a river, and then up to a mountain on the other side.

Carl, Steve, Raul and I made a brief search of the area around the Devil's Dimple but could not find evidence of any lost city or of a tunnel entrance. It was a cursory exploration that proved or disproved little. Still the fact remained that the entrance to a bizarre man-made tunnel, one that was apparently thousands of years old, existed at the weird ruins of Samaipata.

Was it the entrance to a lost mine used thousands of years ago? Was it a spur of the legendary tunnels near Cuzco? The thought that one might be able to enter into a vast labyrinth of tunnels beneath the Andes by entering the Camino tic la Chinchana was an exciting thought. The entrance still exists at Samaipata, waiting for a bold adventurer with the right equipment to discover its secrets.

But for myself and Carl, we were to continue on to Brazil and the even more intriguing tunnel entrance at Sao Tome das Letras near Sao Paulo.

The Tunnel Beneath Sao Tome das Letras

Our WEX team had to split up, with Steve and Raul returning to Peru and the U.S. while Carl and I headed down to Corumba, the Bolivian bordertown with Brazil. From there we took a bus through the Matto Grosso to Sao Paulo, the largest city in South America.

In Sao Paulo Carl and I visited my Brazilian publisher and various Brazilian friends. I had received a letter from a Brazilian woman who had read the Portuguese version of my book Lost Cities & Ancient Mysteries of South America and had written me a letter concerning the opening to a tunnel system at the resort mountain town of Sao Tome das Letras. Her name was Marli and she worked at one of the many banks in Sao Paulo.

Carl and I met with Marli one night for dinner and she told us about the town and the tunnel entrance. Sao Tome das Letras is Portuguese for "Saint Thomas of the Letters" and is the rather long name of a small town north of Sao Paulo that, like Samaipata in Bolivia, is on the top of a mountain.

Sao Tome das Letras is in fact a well-known tourist town in Sao Paulo state, though I had never heard of it. Being on top of a mountain, it had good views, was cooler than Sao Paulo, and offered hiking trails, good restaurants and an artist colony for atmosphere. It also had the entrance to a man-made tunnel system, a feature well known to visitors of the small town.

Carl and I suggested to Marli that the three of us take a trip to Sao Tome das Letras and see the entrance to the tunnel system. She agreed to accompany the two of us as our guide and interpreter. We left the next day, taking a bus for some four or five hours out of Sao Paulo, heading on a major highway toward the city of Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas Gerais.

Soon the bus turned off the main road and headed up a narrow paved road for some distant, low mountains. Eventually the road wound its way to the top of one of the mountains and we found ourselves in Sao Tome das Letras.

Carl, Marli and I grabbed our luggage from beneath the bus and stood on the cobblestone street at the lower edge of town. There were many quaint houses, all made of well carved stone with tile roofs and small windows. I noticed that stonework and even stacks of stone slate, was everywhere. Sao Tome das Letras was not only a tourist town, it was also a mountaintop quarry.

We walked up the main street and found a small hotel to spend the night, leaving our packs and other luggage in the hotel. By now it was late afternoon and we had only time to walk about town and familiarize ourselves with this pleasant area.

Later, Marli took us to a local restaurant where a crowd of young people had gathered to hear the local restaurant owner talk about the mysteries of Sao Tome das Letras. He was a large man, in his 50s, who spoke in Portuguese to the 20 or so people gathered in his restaurant.

The crowd listened intently as the man spoke and occasionally I asked Marli what he was saying.
"He is talking about the tunnel that is at the northern edge of town," said Marli, whispering to me. "He says that the tunnel is open as far as anyone has ever walked through it. At no place is the tunnel blocked. The tunnel is man-made, but no one knows who built it or where it goes."

"The Brazilian army went into the tunnel one time to find out where it ends. After travelling for four days through the tunnel the team of Army explorers eventually came to a large room deep underground. This room had four openings to four tunnels, each going in a different direction. They had arrived in the room by one of the tunnels."

"They stayed in the room for sometime, using it as their base and attempted to explore each of the other three tunnels, but after following each for some time, turned back to the large room. Eventually they returned to the surface, here at Sao Tome das Letras."
The man continued talking about the tunnel.

Apparently he gave this lecture every night at his restaurant.
"Now he is saying," continued Marli, "that there is a man here in town who claims to know the tunnel and claims that he has been many weeks inside the tunnel. This man claims that the tunnel goes all the way to Peru, to Machu Picchu in the Andes. This man claims that he went completely under South America, across Brazil and to Machu Picchu. Isn't that amazing!"
I raised an eyebrow and looked at Carl. He nodded to me at the fantastic nature of the story.
"Does this restaurant owner say that he has been through the tunnel to Peru?" asked Carl.

"No," said Marli, "it is not this man, it is another man. I don't know who this other man is. But now he is telling another story, this time it is about himself. He says that he was walking early in the morning on the north side of town, near to the tunnel entrance. On this morning, he suddenly met a strange man walking in the area of the tunnel. This man was very tall, about seven feet, and dressed strangely, like the Indians of the Andes in Peru and Bolivia. The man did not talk to him, but walked away. Later, the restaurant owner tried to find this man, but no one knew about him or knew who he was . The restaurant owner thinks that he came from the tunnel!"
As we left the restaurant, Carl, Marli and I were quite stunned. It all seemed so incredible.
"Well, Marli," I said, "tomorrow we must see this tunnel and explore it!"
The next morning after breakfast, we checked our flashlights, put water and snacks into our daypacks, and set off up the cobblestone streets of Sao Tome das Letras to the north side of town.

It didn't take long to find the tunnel entrance; already four or five young people were gathered around the entrance looking into the wide cavern.

The entrance was quite large. It was a wide mouth of a cave with a mound of dirt creating a small hill over the entrance. The cavern entrance faced to the west and immediately began running down hill, into the earth. The tunnel/ cavern would have to go downhill, as we were essentially on top of a mountain.

With our flashlights in hand, we entered the cavern. Within a few meters, the cavern entrance narrowed into a tunnel which was about three meters (9 feet) high and two meters wide. The tunnel was dug out of dirt, and was not cut out of solid rock, as some tunnels are.

The tunnel headed down ward at a steady slope, but it was not too steep. As mall channel, made by running water moving through this part of the tunnel (and perhaps by the visitors walking through it) was in the middle of the floor, sort of a small "trail" worn into the floor. At no point was it ever necessary to duck, stoop or crawl in this tunnel. Quite the opposite, it was quite wide and high, even for the tallest man to walk through, even someone who was, say, seven feet tall!

I was amazed at this ancient feat of engineering. We were descending down into the earth in a wide, gradually slopping tunnel that was dug into a red, clay-type dirt. It was not the smooth, laser-cut rock walls that Erich von Daniken had claimed to have seen in Ecuador in his book Gold of the Gods, but it was just as incredible.

It wouldn't have taken some space-age device to make this tunnel, just simple tools; yet, it was clearly a colossal undertaking. Why would anyone build such a tunnel? Was it an ancient mine that went deep into the earth, searching for an elusive vein of gold or merely red clay for the long gone ceramic kilns? Was it an elaborate escape tunnel used in the horrific wars that were said to have been fought in South America-and around the world-in the distant past? Or was it some bizarre subterranean road that linked up with other tunnels in the Andes and ultimately could be used to journey safely to such places as Machu Picchu, Cuzco or the Atacama Desert?

Maybe a combination of all three.

Marli, Carl and I continued walking through the tunnel for a kilometer or so. Other visitors to Sao Tome das Letras followed us into the subterranean system. The tunnel was not perfectly straight, but wound left and right and occasionally dropped down a few feet and continued on. It was perfectly dry and the air was fresh and quite breathable.

Eventually, after an hour or so, we came to a spot in the tunnel where it suddenly dropped down about a meter and a half. It was not a great obstacle and we could see the tunnel continuing downward, but it was a convenient place to stop. We had a candy bar and a drink from our daypacks and rested at this spot and then decided to go back to the surface. We had no intention of continuing for several days to the fabled room of four doors deep beneath Brazil. We simply weren't prepared for such an expedition.

Back on the surface, we had lunch in one of the restaurants and prepared to get a bus back to Sao Paulo. We talked about the bizarre tunnel. It was real, there was no doubt about that. It was man-made as well, as the tunnel was perfectly uniform and contained no fissures or faults of any kind.

Did it really go to Machu Picchu and the Andes? It seemed incredible, but we could not discount this story. Not yet anyway. Perhaps in the future we would return to Sao Tome das Letras, and find the secret of the room with four doors.
The Lost Pyramid in the Valley of the Blue Moon.

Back at the World Explorers Club, I began investigating other tales of tunnels and lost cities in Peru. My search eventually led me to the strange story of the Valley of the Blue Moon and a secret monastery of the Andes.

This monastery is the subject of a book, "Secret of the Andes", by George Hunt Williamson, written under the pen name Brother Philip. Williamson was also the author of a number of other books, including "The Saucers Speak" (1954), "Other Tongues, Other Flesh" (1957), "Secret Places of the Lion" (1958) and "Road in the Sky" (1959).

He was an adventurer and anthropologist, and a believer in lost continents. Williamson was no doubt a fascinating person (he died in 1986), however it is clear that he fabricated much of the "true" information in his books and even used material typed directly from Richard Shaver's book "I Remember Lemuria!" as his own past life "memories."

But George Hunt Williamson cannot be dismissed too easily. He must be given credit for bringing some of the popular mysteries of South Americain to the forefront. Williamson had made expeditions into the Madre de Dios jungles of Peru in search of Paititi in the early 1950s, as many British explorers were attempting to do.

In his various books, he talked about many of the mysteries of Peru including Paititi, tunnel systems, the weird stone formations on the Marcahuasi Plateau near Lima, and the Nazca Lines along the southern coast. Undoubtedly, later writers such as Erich von Daniken, Charles Berlitz and Robert Charroux used his writings as early guidebooks to the mysteries of Peru.

While at times the fact and fancy in the pages of Secret of the Andes seem to merge, the first part of the book makes good reading. According to Williamson, a "Lord Muru" arrived at Lake Titicaca at some time in the remote past, when the Andes Mountains were first uplifted in a cataclysmic event that also sank the Pacific continent of Mu. Lord Muru set up the "Monastery of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays," which was to keep the secrets and treasures of his race in its archives.

Among these treasures was the Golden Sun Disc of Mu. Williamson maintains that this Sun Disc was later given to the Incas, when they had advanced enough spiritually to appreciate it. But when the Spaniards conquered Peru, the Sun Disc was removed from the Sun Temple at Cuzco, and placed back in safekeeping at the monastery.

There is still some indication that a tunnel system, and perhaps a hidden "monastery" does exist in South America. The legend of the Valley of the Blue Moon is one that has a life beyond Brother Philip and George Hunt Williamson.

One story told to me by a friend from Indianapolis, Bryan Strohm, also tends to confirm that there is a secret, underground, "city" in the Andes east of Lake Titicaca.

Bryan came to visit me at the World Explorers Club in Kempton while I was researching the tunnels and told me of his quest for the Valley of the Blue Moon some years before. Bryan arrived in Lima and flew to Cuzco to take the train to Puno. From Puno he took a truck to San Juan del Oro, in the rugged mountains northeast of Lake Titicaca.

He continued past San Juan del Oro by truck to another small village where he met a school teacher who told him an interesting story of a local Quechua Indian who had wandered over a high altitude ridge in the mountains where he saw a small mountain lake with grassy fields leading down to it. It was a small, hidden valley in the Andes.

The Indian was camping beside this lake when late at night he heard the sound of chanting. He hid behind a bush, and soon saw a group of men dressed in white robes. These men came walking down a trail to the lake, chanting and carrying some kind of lights with them.

Terrified, the man hid behind the bush and then watched as the men in white robes began to chant around the lake. The water in the small mountain lake then levitated out of the lake. Astonished, the man then saw steps that were cut in the solid rock, going down to a pedestals and a platform made out of stone. There may have been some sort of door going into the earth among these stone structures. The men in white robes then performed some unknown ceremony.

The man watched for some time until suddenly he was seen by the central figure on the pedestal who turned to the hiding man and suddenly raised his arms into the air and created a storm. A cloud immediately appeared and began to hail on the man. A bolt of lightning struck nearby.

The Quechua Indian ran from the bushes and, with the hail and lightning following him, went back down the mountains the way he had come. When he returned to the villages below he told the strange story to others, and it was now well known.

Bryan also mentioned that the Valley of the Blue Moon, which appears to be in a different location from the lake, was said to have a huge pyramid at the end of it. Bryan spent two weeks hiking on the trails around San Juan del Oro and eventually came to large but hidden valley which had a gigantic pyramid-shaped mountain at the end of it.

The pyramid-mountain was distant and obscured by clouds. They thought that they might reach the area of the pyramid with only a day's walk after glimpsing the pyramid, but two and a half days later they had still not reached it. Clouds obscured their view most of time, but occasionally they would clear for a short time and reveal the pyramid-mountain to them. This pyramid-mountain, he believed, was the true location of the secret brotherhood which George Hunt Williamson had described in his books.

Storms and lack of food eventually drove their party back to a small village near San Juan del Oro. They didn't reach their destination, but Bryan said that they were all convinced that they had found the Valley of the Blue Moon and that there was something unusual about it.

There are plenty of people who feel that something unusual is going on underground, not only in South America, but in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and around the world. A huge underground tunnel system connecting distant points on earth is a fascinating possibility. Does it exist? Who will find it? How far back was it built?

Time, shall we say, will tell. - Copyrights - David Hatcher Childress
