Dalai Lama Live web cast Oct 17
Dear Family of Light,Many of you may not know I have a special connection with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. Last year in Colombia I spent 3 days with him as press taking hundreds of picture and more than 7 hrs of video. I gave him a condor feather and see him flying all over the world bringing Compassion to our broken hearts.
He kept looking at me and smiling wondering, who is this guy with long hair in a biz suit taking so many pictures. His eyes were full of Light and I saw the mystery of Tibet and all his people have suffered. I became good friends with his Latin America rep and one day we will meet again and he will be in our film about the Prophecies.
I feel he is playing an important role in World Peace and Human Rights. He is the personification of Innocence and a Master, childlike in ego and full of wisdom of a World Leader. His gentle words and spontaneous humor can take us to another realm.
He even visited our Brahma Kumaris Headquarters in India and has a special connection with Dadi Janki, the angel who in 1986 gave me a vision of Heaven.
He calls her his Divine Sister.
So if you never had a chance to see a Spiritual Leader in action, here is your chance with a LIVE WEBCAST.
Free, live webcast of Dalai Lama address and Tibetan cultural performances!

Dadi Prakashmani, Serves from Above.
Dear Family of Light,Last night I had a powerful dream. I saw one of my Special Teachers, Dadi Prakashmani in a World of Light taking with God. She was so peaceful and rainbows of magical hues all around.
The feeling I got was she was planning to go home and wanted to give a message to the world. Her message was one of Purity, Love and Peace. When I first met her 21 years ago in Mt Abu, Rajasthan India at the Brahma Kumaris Headquarters it was like seeing my grandmother again. She was so loving to me and had this huge smile. Her eyes radiated such purity and peace, that all my problems seem to fade away. I was lost in her eyes and instantly I had a feeling this was one of the Goddess of the past sitting in front of me.
I remember watching her walk and this amazing light around her, as if she was a living Arch Angel. In my dream I saw God as a Loving Father holding her close and whispering secrets in her ear. I tired to get close and soon found myself in the Soul World beyond time and space…it was as if Time had stopped and a New World was emerging from her eyes.
I saw a vision of a Golden Age and everything had changed. I was not me anymore and the world was much different. I saw a thousand angels in a huge circle as the moon was being eclipsed. A New Light had entered the world and silence was in my heart.
The dream continued and no way to put in words….the message I got was time for powerful yoga and pure feelings for all my brothers and sisters. We live in time of great change and if we remember this is a magical drama and in soul time…we have seen everything before…nothing is new under the sun. An eternally repeating drama, each second like a frame in a cosmic video…that stands forever in time…Déjà vu.
Today we got the news that Dadi has passed on and is now free of the body and sitting next to God.
My Raja Yoga family has gotten the message to do powerful yoga and to cancel all programs. Only in Powerful Remembrance of God can we heal this world and help with our vibrations of peace.
So as a service to all I want to share these videos I found today from a special brother, Sasha in the UK in honor of Dadi Prakashmani, a Jewel of Light.

Dadi Prakashmani will continue to Serve from Above.
From my peaceful Heart,
Lucho

Brief Bio-Data
Rajyogini Brahma Kumari Dadi Dr. Prakashmani
Born in Hyderabad, Sind (now in Pakistan), Dadi Prakashmani’s childhood name was Rama. Her father was a renowned astrologer and foresaw his daughter’s destiny to lead a spiritual life in the service of humanity that would span eight decades and reach across all continents.
In 1937, when the Brahma Kumaris organisation was being established as a small trust in Sind under the name ‘Om Mandali’, 14 year old kumari Rama decided to join it and dedicate her life to the spiritual upliftment of humanity. Chosen as one of its original eight trustees, she was given the spiritual name ‘Prakashmani’ (‘Jewel of Light’). Her extraordinary talents, vision, values and qualities of leadership enabled her to take up the challenges of starting spiritual service centres in Mumbai and Maharastra and become the organisation’s Chief Co-ordinator of Maharastra, Gujrat & Karnataka zones in the 1950s and 1960s.
In 1954, Dadi led a delegation to the Second World Religious Congress in Japan. She then embarked on a six month tour of Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, delivering spiritual talks and lectures and promoting Raja Yoga meditation, to help people restore inner peace, power, harmony and happiness in their lives. After the organisation’s founding father, Brahma Baba, died in 1969, she became its Administrative Head, endearingly called ‘Dadiji’. With her generosity of spirit and unlimited vision, she was able to guide the Brahma Kumaris through their huge growth since that time.
Since 1969, Dadiji chaired and addressed countless national seminars and meetings in India, as well as international conferences in over hundred countries. In 1985, she organised the All India Bharat Unity Youth Padyatras and Rallies and in 1989 the All India Holistic Health Awareness Campaigns. She served as President of the annual Universal Peace Conferences at Mount Abu from 1983 to 1993. It was under Dadiji’s dynamic leadership in the 1980s, that the Brahma Kumaris was designated an NGO in the United Nations Department of Public Information, with consultative status with the UN’s Economic & Social Council and with UNICEF. In 1986, designated UN International Year of Peace, she launched the Million Minutes of Peace Appeal project in over 88 countries and presented a collection of one billion minutes of positive, peaceful and prayerful thoughts to UN Secretary General during the UN’s 40thAnniversary. In 1988, she became the President of an International Peace Messenger Initiative entitled Global Cooperation for a Better World - a project dedicated to the UN and implemented in over 129 countries. Inspiring thousands of community activities at local levels, it was based on individual and collective ideas for a better world.
Dadiji’s main concerns were to promote the potential of women in society, create opportunities for young people, research the hidden resources of the mind, transform consciousness through meditation, re-activate moral and humanitarian values and work to bring unity among people for world peace. She believed that progress for the self lay in having no expectations and no desire for praise or reward. Success, she felt, is built on love and respect for all human beings and what was needed was lightness of nature and independence of spirit, so as to attract the love of others and the love of God. This, Dadiji was convinced, is what brings the greatest happiness and will constantly inspire us.
2
Dressed in plain white cotton, Dadiji epitomised simplicity, while at the same time radiating the authority of a woman administering a global organisation with over 8,500 service centres in India and 129 other countries. Dadiji described herself as an instrument who loves to serve human beings by reminding them of their innate goodness – and that it is through the awakening of this goodness that we can collectively transform our world. Dadiji remained a spiritual ambassador whose wisdom has always echoed her own experience.
At 10:05am local time on 25th August 2007, the soul of Dadi Prakashmani passed away at the organisation’s Shantivan complex on Abu Road in Rajasthan, India. She was in her mid-80s.
Honours conferred on Dadiji include:
• Dharma Chakra Medal (1984)
• Key to city of Los Angeles (1984)
• City Medals of Sao Paulo and Frankfurt (1984)
• United Nations International Year of Peace Medal (1986)
• International Peace Messenger Award from the UN Secretary General (1987)
• Honorary Doctor of Literature from Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur, India (1992)
• Giant Award for Social work from Giant International, Mumbai (1994)
• ’Dharma Ratna’, by World Religious Parliament, New Delhi.
• ’Priya Darshini’ award from Priya Darshini Academy, Mumbai, for outstanding contribution towards Human Welfare and Global Peace.
• UNESCO special award for collecting 35 million signatures from all over India and 120 other countries in support and promotion of the UNESCO’s ‘Culture of Peace’ Project entitled Peace Manifesto-2000 in the International Year of Culture of Peace -2,000 as proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in the year 2,000.
Some words of Dadi Prakashmani…
“Like a family, the basis of this organisation is love, and it flourishes because it is nourished with trust and respect”.
◊
“Only a powerful soul can offer love. Only a powerful soul can afford to be humble. If we are weak, then we become selfish. If we are empty, we take; but if we are filled, we automatically give to all. That is our nature.”
◊
“If you have the feeling that you belong to everyone, and look after everybody as a trustee, you are enabled to do right actions. By having love, rather than attachment, you learn discrimination.”

Prophecy to be Fulfilled at Four Directions Wisdom Gathering
Sedona, AZ - May 18-20, 2007
On May 18-20, 2007, considered the zenith of the 5th Galactic Day of the last period of the current Mayan Long Count calendar that ends in 2012, over 150 people from all corners of "Turtle Island" (North, South, Central America) will join respected Indigenous Elders and Wisdom Keepers from several native traditions in Sedona, Arizona, for the Four Directions Wisdom Gathering. These elders include: Grandmothers Flordemayo (Maya - Central America); Agnes Baker-Pilgrim (Northwest tribes: Oregon) of the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers; Auntie Pua, Kupuna (respected one) and Kahuna (teacher of secrets) from Hawai'i; Willard Pine, elder and pipe-carrier of the traditional Ojibwa (Algonquin) nation of Ontario, Canada; Grandfather Martin Gashweseoma of the Hopi Nation, Arizona; Navajo story-teller, dancer and musician, Tony Redhouse, Inca Shaman, Wachan & Martika creating sacred music, and intuitive Sherry Merrell, with ancient crystal skull Synergy of Mayan legends. Leaders of the Agape International Spiritual Center, Reverends Michael Beckwith and Rickie Byars Beckwith, recently featured in the best-selling book, The Secret, will also participate.
A Saturday key note address will be given by Native American activist and actor, Russell Means. www.russelmeans.com
A special presentation will be given by the "Elder Brothers" of the Kogi-Arhuaco tribe of Colombia. The Mamos are saying time has come for the rainbows tribes to unite and feel the Heart of the World. Luis Mejia ( L Condor), founder of Tribal Ink News, Producer & Director of Prophecy, Last Message will be showing 2 short films on the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and insight from the Elder Brothers. www.youtube.com/tribalinknews www.tribalink.org/Kogi.html
This unique Wisdom Gathering of Elders and Wisdom Keepers from many traditions in the sacred red-rock landscape of Sedona will not be another one-way "conference" where speakers talk to a passive audience but rather the opening of a "Heart Space" to share and dialog with our Elders. Imagine a form of "talk story" (as the Hawaiians say) about Present and Future prospects for Humanity as we enter the long-predicted Times of Change or Purification. The Hopi & Mamos of the Sierra have been warning us about these final years of the current Mayan Calendar Long Count. Is your heart open to receive new light? Conversation and Ceremony will explore ways we can create and sustain an Earth-friendly future for all of us in harmony with our planet.
Why do we gather in Sedona? Quantum physics and traditional knowledge agree that the collective energy of a group of conscious people in sacred space like Sedona, especially with the aid of an ancient crystal skull, will be amplified and transmitted across Mother Earth much more powerfully and effectively than isolated, individual efforts, no matter how positively intended. May 18-20, 2007, the high-point of this final 5th Galactic Day before 2012 of the Western Calendar, is the most auspicious time for focused and positive pure intention to all our relations across Turtle Island.
Some Elders call Turtle Island, Amerikua as North, Central & South America is the spinal column of the Earth and Sedona a vortex chakra of ancient time. If the predictions held by traditional Hopi, Kogi and Mayan Elders are accurate, this may be one of our last opportunities to collect and transmit these powerful sacred messages and frequencies across Mother Earth before the disruptive transition from the 4th to the 5th world begins. Even if Purification is postponed, many of these respected Elders know that the wisdom they hold may soon disappear with them or they will no longer be able to travel as freely.
The Prophecy written in stone many years ago is being fulfilled as the Eagle and the Condor are coming together to bring the wisdom of ancient past.
Between Friday evening's opening ceremony featuring a traditional Hawaiian lei ceremony and Russell Means' inspiring message to Sunday afternoon's outdoor closing fire ceremony among Sedona's Red Rocks, participants will share ideas with our Elders and learn practical tools to help us thrive as we pass through the predicted unsettled times of change and transition ahead. On Saturday evening we will join Navajo musician Tony Redhouse to energize our positive intentions with the uplifting vibration of music and song. Daytime sessions will include panel discussions with the elders and dialogue between all participants.
The 4 Directions Gathering will take place at the Sedona Creative Life Center, 333 Schnebly Hill Road, Sedona. www.sedonacreativelife.com
Karen Koebnick of Sedona Spiritual Journeys and Chet and Kallista Snow have joined together with the Sedona Creative Life Center to organize and host this once-in-a-lifetime event among our sacred Red Rocks. We invite you to join us, Synergy, and these noted Elders and Wisdom Keepers to build and project a positive future for ourselves and our children.

Info on 4 Directions Gathering-
NOT another Conference but A HEART SPACE to “talk story” with our elders to learn practical tools to face the coming changes or “Purification,” as the Hopi say, that is required before Mother Earth can birth the 5th World. This may be one of our last chances to meet personally and share with these respected elders before the Purification begins. Do not miss this unique chance in Sedona's special energies!
In-depth teaching by Native American elders – one for each of the 4 Directions, including Flordemayo (Maya), Auntie Pua (Hawai’i)… plus Grandfather Martin, traditional Hopi elder, representing the “Center” here in this sacred land and Grandma Agnes Baker Pilgrim of the Pacific North-West. Willard and Marie Pine of the Ojibwa nation from Lake Superior will represent the East. We also will have the participation of Inca shaman, healer & musician, Wachan, and his wife Martika.
An extra bonus is the participation of a representative from the legendary Kogi~Arhuaco ("The Elder Brothers") the 2 key tribes from Colombia.
2 Short Films on the Sierra will be presented by Luis Mejia "L Condor"
Special presentations by Russell Means, see Russellmeans.com ,
Rev. Michael Beckwith & Rev. Rickie Byars Beckwith.

From Last Washington- NY trip - 9-06
A Message from the Heart of the World
A presentation by the Kogi, Arhuaco, Wiwa, and Kankuamo indigenous groups from the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, Colombia. These elders are appearing outside their country for the first time to present their urgent appeal on environment, land, and culture.
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES FROM COLOMBIA MAKE FIRST-TIME VISIT TO PRESENT MESSAGE ON LAND, NATURAL RESOURCES AND CULTURE
The Sacred Message
“The sacred territory of the Sierra Nevada since time immemorial has been the foundation of our culture. It contains the laws and the symbols that determine our way of thinking and our identity. We should all comply with these norms and laws to safeguard the Universe. The territory must be sustained through daily activities
that allow the culture and all its components to reproduce. In this sense the concept of ancestral owners of the territory is based on knowledge about everything that lives in the territory; in other words, nature teaches us how to live in harmony. It is an open book where we learn about its stories and past, and this is what our children and future generations will learn. Knowledge depends on the careful study of the very meaning of the territory and allows us to remember the role of our ancestors, and the real meaning of each individual and their mission, not as an Indigenous person but as a human responsible for caring for the planet that is threatened when the sense of responsibility is abandoned.”
The issue of territory
• Four indigenous groups totaling 50,000 persons live in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest coastal mountain (5,775 meters/18,946 feet).
• Their traditional territory, which they believe is the “Heart of the World,” includes snowy peaks, cloud forests, rain forests, coral reefs, mangrove swamps, deserts and almost every sub-climate in the world and is delineated by a series of sacred sites.
• The indigenous peoples (Kogi, Wiwa, Arhuaco and Kankuamo) practice 1000 year old traditions that predate the arrival of the Spaniards and are one of the most authentic and unaltered surviving civilizations of pre-Colombian America.
• Today, an estimated 220,000 non-indigenous people have settled in the middle and lower portions of the Sierra Nevada. Many are refugees from the violence of the Colombian conflict.
• The loss of their traditional lands, encroachment into areas where they currently hold title, the advancing agricultural frontier, illicit crops, climate change, the western vision of progress, and the conflict in Colombia have all contributed to the destruction of 72 percent of the area’s original forests, depletion of rivers and streams, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion. These factors threaten the future of this territory and its people, and jeopardize the water resources upon which 1.5 million people and the area’s agro-industry and tourism sectors depend.
• Despite considerable progress over the past several decades in creating reserves to safeguard the land rights of the indigenous groups, only one third of their traditional territory—or 14.8 million acres (6 million hectares)--has legal protectionas “resguardos”.
• Lands that have been legally returned to these groups have undergone significant environmental renewal, have helped to improve the living conditions of the indigenous population and strengthened their cultural systems and traditional organization. Of the total amount of territory acquired through legalization and extension, 70 percent is dedicated exclusively for natural regeneration and ecosystem and water resource conservation.
A Bold Proposal
• These indigenous peoples have set a goal to recover an additional 835,216 acres/338,000 hectares of their traditional territory over a 20-year period. Their initial goal is to recover 210,000 acres/85,000 hectares where their main sacred sites are located. This proposal would greatly contribute to water resource and biodiversity conservation that is crucial for the entire region.
• They are requesting international support to raise $15 million for an Indigenous Fund to acquire this land. The Fund will be jointly administered by the Consejo Territorial de Cabildos (CTC) (the Indigenous organization) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
• The program will be carried out in accordance with a previously established framework agreement signed by the CTC and the Colombian government.
• The purpose of the Indigenous leaders’ visit to Washington, D.C. and New York City is to disseminate their message and enlist support for funding to acquire and recuperate their traditional territories. The visit, which is historically unprecedented for these peoples’ traditional authorities, is being facilitated by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the UNDP.
Indigenous peoples and the Inter-American Development Bank
• The Inter-American Development Bank is committed to supporting the development aspirations of indigenous people while protecting their identity and individual and collective rights.
• The IDB’s Indigenous Peoples and Community Development Unit was created in 1994 to define ways in which the Bank can achieve development with identity of indigenous peoples and to mainstream indigenous issues throughout the institution’s project portfolio.
• The vision, objectives and priority areas of the IDB’s work in the area of indigenous issues are set forth in two documents: the Strategy for Indigenous Development and the Operation Policy on Indigenous Peoples, that entered into force in August 2006.
• For further information on the Bank’s work in this field, please see www.iadb.org/sds/ind.
Indigenous peoples and the United Nations Development Programme
• The UNDP promotes the inclusion of indigenous peoples in the discussions on the Millennium
Develop Goals programs and objectives; it support the adoption of the recommendations made by the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the Special Rapporteur for Indigenous human rights; and it promotes the development of national policies and programs with a specialized approach and protection of rights.
www.un.org/esa/socdev/unpfii/
• The UNDP focuses its support for Indigenous peoples in the following areas: institutional strengthening, establishment of territorial rights, promoting the role of traditional practices in confronting humanitarian crises, and establishing links between indigenous organizations and national government institutions.
• The UNDP has proposed strategic areas of support for Indigenous peoples in the document UNDP and Indigenous Peoples: A Policy of Engagement.
• For further information on the Bank’s work in this field, please see www.undp.org/cso/ip.html

Good article From Cultural Survival
Who Loses What in a Civil War? The Kogi-Wiwa-Arhuaco of Colombia
January 25, 2002 | World Indigenous News
The Kogi-Wiwa-Arhuaco Reserve, home to several of Colombia’s indigenous groups, are the ultimate losers in the ongoing civil war that threatens to take from them what is left from the passage of time.
The Kogi-Wiwa-Arhuaco Reserve, an area containing several indigenous towns in Colombia - Bunkwimake, Gúmake, Jiwa Chivilongui, Acleyzhi, Ulueyzhi, Goksheyzhi, Kemakumake and Kalabangaga - still constitutes an intact pre-Columbian high civilization, one that has survived both Spanish and industrial colonizations over the course of time. The natives belonging to this country have preserved their ancestral ways of life, maintaining a rich culture and continuing in the education of their so-called “Mamas”, priests of the Kogi nation, wise men trained since their childhood both to preserve and work in the spirit world.
The Kogi area is one of those indigenous populations that belong to Colombia , a country not simply going through a situation of internal fighting, but suffering a civil war. The same kind of civil war that, for whatever reasons, we have seen in many countries. However, the case of Colombia is different in one respect. The complicated array of numerous warring and quarreling groups has trapped within it an equally diverse number of indigenous people, who have essentially nothing to do with the current internecine situation, a situation that is part of a world they simply do not belong to.
What has not been eroded with the passage of time is in danger of being eradicated by warring squads, all products of national chaos and violence. According to Danilo Villafañe, a representative of the Kogi community acting under an organization called “Gonawindua Tairona”, heavily armed men, apparently members of the Self-Defense Union of Colombia (AUC), invaded part of the northern coastal province of Magdalena (which includes part of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta), where the Kogi nation and other indigenous tribes live. Mr. Villafañe explains that the Kogi had never sought help before.
Not so now. They are presently trying to bring their appeals to the attention of the President of Colombia through simple letters, as well as seeking to attract the attention of human rights organizations. Upon actually reading those letters, one realizes the simple validity of their claims, asking for the rights that are intrinsic to humans irrespective of their level of civilization or development. They ask for the simple right to live.
But in a war, the right to live –the most basic right of all - does not turn out to be a valuable one. It is as devalued as the bank accounts of those enduring the war from the vantage point of a more 'advanced' civilization.

The Full Moon this month is very special. It happens May 2 3:09 PDT (10:09 UT).
As the CELESTIAL CROSS turns, this is the 2nd moon month of the new year which begins on Spring Equinox. It has a magical tale associated with it - the Legend of the Wesak.
LEGEND of the WESAK
There is a valley, lying at a rather high altitude in the foothills of the Himalayan-Tibet ranges. It is surrounded by high sow capped mountains on all sides except towards the northeast, where there is a narrow opening in the mountain ranges. The valley is bottle-shaped in contour, with the neck of the bottle to the northeast, and it widens very considerably towards the south. Up towards the northern end, close to the neck of the bottle, there a huge flat rock. There are no trees or shrubs in the valley, which is covered with a kind of coarse grass.
Approaching the time of the full moon of Taurus, pilgrims from the surrounding districts begin to gather. The holy men and the lamas find their way into the valley and fill the southern and the middle parts, leaving the northeastern end relatively free. There, so the legend runs, gathers a group of those great Beings Who are the Custodians on Earth of God's Plan for our planet and for humanity.
This group of knowers of divinity are the main participants in The Wesak Festival. They arrange Themselves in the northeastern end of the valley, in concentric circles, and prepare for a great act of service. In front of the rock, looking towards the northeast, stand Those Beings Who are called by Their disciples The Three Great Lords. These are The
Christ, Who stands in the center; the Lord of living forms, The Manu, Who stands at His right; and The Lord of Civilization, who stands to His left. These three face the rock upon which rests a great crystal bowl, full of water.
Behind the grouped
Masters, adepts,initiates and senior workers under God's Plan are to be found the world disciples and aspirants in their various grades and groups (either "in the body" or "out of the body"), who at this time constitute the New Group of World Servers. Those present in their physical bodies have found their way there by ordinary means. Others are present in their spiritual bodies, and in the dream state. The "dream," which they later relate, has been uniformly registered by people throughout the world, and bears the testimony to the recollection of an inner spiritual happening.
As the hour of the full moon approaches, a stillness settles down upon the crowd, and all look towards the northeast. Certain ritualistic movements take place, in which the grouped Masters and Their disciples of all ranks take up symbolic positions, and form on the floor of the valley such significant symbols as the five-pointed star, with The Christ standing at the highest point; of a triangle, with The Christ at the apex; or a cross, and other well known formations, all of which have a deep and potent meaning. This is all done to the sound of certain chanted words and esoteric phrases, called mantras.
The expectancy in the waiting, on looking crowd becomes very great, and the tension is real and increasing. Through the entire body of people there seems to be felt a stimulation or potent vibration which has the effect of awakening the
souls of those present, fusing and blending the group into one united whole, and lifting all into a great act of spiritual demand, readiness, and expectancy. It is the climax of the world's aspiration focused in this waiting group. These three words-demand, readiness and expectancy-best describe the atmosphere surrounding those present in this secret valley.The chanting and the rhythmic weaving grows stronger, and all the participants and the watching crowd raise their eyes towards the sky in the direction of the narrow part of the valley.
Just a few minutes before the exact time of the full moon, in the far distance, a tiny speck can be seen in the sky. It comes nearer and nearer, and grows in clarity and definiteness of outline, until the form of The Buddha can be seen, seated in the cross-legged Buddha position, clad in his saffron-colored robe, bathed in light and color, and with his hand extended in blessing.
When The Buddha arrives at a point exactly over the great rock, hovering there in the air over the heads of The Three Great Lords, a great mantra, used only once a year, at The Festival, is intoned by The Christ, and the entire group of people in the valley fall upon their faces. This
Invocation sets up a great vibration or thought current which is of such potency that it reaches up from the group of aspirants, disciples and initiates who employ it, to the Being we know as God. It marks the supreme moment of intensive spiritual effort throughout the entire year, and the spiritual vitalization of humanity and the spiritual effects last throughout the succeeding months.
The effect of this great Invocation is universal or cosmic, and serves to link us up with that cosmic center of spiritual force from which all created beings have come. The blessing is poured forth, and The Christ, as the representative of humanity, receives it in trust, for distribution.
Thus, so the legend runs, The Buddha returns once a year to bless the world, transmitting renewed spiritual life, through The Christ. Slowly then The Buddha recedes into the distance, until again only a faint speck can be seen in the sky, and this eventually disappears. The whole ceremonial blessing, from the time of the first appearance in the distance until the moment The Buddha fades out of view, takes just eight minutes.
The Buddha's annual
sacrifice for humanity (for He comes back only at great cost) is over, and He returns again to that high place where He works and waits. Year after year He comes back in blessing; year after year, He and His great brother, The Christ, work in the closest cooperation for the spiritual benefit of humanity. In these two great Sons of God have been focused two aspects of divine life, and They act together as Custodians of the highest type of spiritual force to which our humanity can respond. Through The Buddha, the wisdom of God is poured forth. Through The Christ, the love of God is manifested in humanity, and it is this wisdom and love which pour forth upon humanity each Wesak full moon.
When The Buddha has again disappeared, the crowd rise to their feet; the water in the bowl is distributed in tiny portions to the Masters, initiates and disciples, and they then go their way to their place of service. The crowd, who have all brought their little cups and vessels of water, drink of them and share with others. In this beautiful "water ceremony of communion" is portrayed the symbol of the new age which is upon us, the
Aquarian Age, the age of the Water Carrier.
In this ceremony is perpetuated for us the story of the universality of God's love, the need for our individual purification, and the opportunity to share with each other that which belongs to all. The water, which has been magnetized by the presence of The Buddha and of The Christ, carries certain properties and virtues of a healing and helpful nature.
Thus blessed, the crowd silently disperses.

New Moon Party & Luna Wizard Thoughts
Dear Family of Night,The Astronomical New Moon is on today--Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 11:36 GMT (i.e., 7:36 am EDT, or 4:36 am PDT). It will not be visible on April 17 anywhere in the world, except USA, Canada, and Alaska. On April 18, it will be visible in most of the world including Asia, and Europe, but it would be difficult to see in USA, and easier in Western Canada and Alaska. Look at the visibility curve below:
moonsighting.com/
So on this new moon we plant new visions and dreams 4 the moon cycle to come.
This month offers us an ESPECIALLY potent New Moon because it is the New Moon in Aries; it is the most potent Moon of the year for making wishes involving new beginnings!
Have you been thinking of doing something special? Today’s New Moon is in the sign of Aries, it’s a powerful time for wishes involving courage, determination, starting new enterprises, and making a new beginning in any areas of your life that is important to you. Change in a relationship, a business, a job, a new behavior are all open doorways to manifest what your Higher Self wishes.
Things or projects you may have worked on, but some how have been blocked can begin to easily manifest with the powerful frequencies of this New Moon.
To make magic a reality you need to do ceremony and honor the light coming in and the lunar energies flowing thru your being.
Light a candle or Fire. Turn off all background noise, and yes that includes negative thoughts in your mind....Find a place that you call sacred. Place your power stones, crystals, pure intentions and angelic belief with photos of loved ones in a circle.
Imagine the eternal dance of moon and sun and see your being as the water child flowing with the cycles of life. Picture and Imagine the future outcome of your dream or wish no matter how far fetched. Just believe. U have a thousand angels by your side and they all say it can be done. So let go of fear, worry, past old movies of failure and let the lunar energies take the vision into the fire and into your inner fire. It will be done as you believe it is.
Gentleness is not a lack of strength but a great power that doesn't force or disturb.
Let the gentle child within emerge the strength to do the impossible by doing nothing.
Sometimes we need to be human beings...not human doers...
Just be..then u will be free...to see...the universe rearrange itself to fit your picture of reality.
Your vision of hope can steer a wrong turn into the right direction.
Write your vision on a paper and put all your power into the intention. Become the Moon and see yourself as Fire Reflected. Place the paper in the fire or candle and imagine the invisible force starting to work on your dreams.
These energies will last for 3 days; do take advantage of the now.
For my Mayan Amigos today is Planetary Moon day 14

kin 214: White Rhythmic Wizard
I Organize in order to Enchant
Balancing Receptivity
I seal the Output of Timelessness
With the Rhythmic tone of Equality
I am guided by my own power doubled
www.tortuga.com/eng/decode/findkin.php
White Wizard is your Conscious Self - who you are and who you are becoming.
White Wizard is the Magician, whose powers are activated by wisdom that emanates from the heart. Such wisdom is not the intellectual understanding known in Western culture; it is the wisdom that comes from an alignment of mind and heart. An open, trusting heart is a refined tool of perception. Allowing yourself to 'not know' opens the door of the mind to a deeper understanding of the universe. White Wizard asks you to fully utilize this aligned mind to participate in magic.
White Wizard invites you to step into self-empowerment. Empowerment comes from self-acceptance, integrity, and commitment to your evolution. Self-empowerment is not to be found outside oneself. Anything outside that brings you empowerment also has a divine foundation within you. If you feel a need for the approval of others, look to self-empowerment. When you feel effectively engaged, doing what gives you joy, your energy naturally expands to include more of who you are, and magic flows synchronistically into your life. Claim your alignment with the highest wisdom. Call forth divine action in all that you do!
Align your own will with Divine Will and your Essence Self. Be transparent, innocently allowing magic to come through you rather than needing to create it. Open to heart-knowing and limitless potential.
White Wizard is a tool of the light, a conduit for the work of Spirit. A wise magician is spontaneous and transparent, allowing magic to come in rather than trying to control it or make it happen. A magician dances the dance of love through offering gifts of freedom to others. This is real magic. Freed from the need to use power to manipulate or control, a magician uses wisdom to manifest liberation and love.
The harmonic wisdom of White Wizard is melody, the progression of single tones within a composition. White Wizard symbolizes the sacred journey of your individual life. As a harmonic magician, you are a novel yet universal container for the expression of the Divine. While you play the melody of your journey's spirit song, the Creator provides the harmony.
Melody is to music what story line is to story. Utilize the elements you have chosen for exploration in your life - your gifts, talents, abilities, motivations, circumstances, and the other characters in your play. Orchestrate the most interesting and growth-engendering story line from this combination of possibilities. Understand that you are the player and the played in the melody in your life. You are the song and harmony, the voice of creation.
www.astrodreamadvisor.com/M_whi...d.html
Among other things, this New Moon stimulates the ability to more successfully navigate your life by boosting your energy and boldness. It empowers you to become more aware of yourself and those things that truly are in alignment with your own identity. It stimulates in you the boldness to follow your impulses and discover yourself.
The energy of Aries also creates an opening for demonstrating your independence and thereby increasing your vitality. This New Moon offers us the support to become more honest and authentic in our dealings with others. It gives us the confidence to begin a desired new pathway of self-expression that before we may have lacked the courage to initiate.
Your wishes can be about anything that is important to you to bring into your life. The New Moon in Aries is the most powerful New Moon of the year for making new beginnings in your life. Be sure to use this opportunity to your advantage.

The Resurrection of the Christ & U Reborn
Dear Family of Light,Special greetings of love, peace & bliss on this special day as a memory of the power of the Risen Christ. We all have the same Christ awareness deep within us and it is like a memory chip that awakens u to a new understanding of your latent powers. Christ is a frequency of pure love and forgiveness.
Awaken to a New Sun and see the darkness fade as the rainbow of light showers peace over the world.
Much love and light,
Lucho

The Resurrection of the Christ & U Reborn
In the ancient past, there was a memory of the illusion of death. An understanding of the eternity of the atma, the soul, who u really are.
Echos of time, words of angels and are we not far from home?
Where did Christ go and what was his message?
The mystery of Jesus the Christ is still a cause of wars today.
Jesus went to Egypt & India during his lost years and still the mystery remains. Last night I was watching the 10 Commandment and the exodus of Egypt with Moses. So much history and those who lived those times still have a deep memory in the soul computer. Do u remember?
This Sunday the world celebrates Easter and the Risen Christ. Christ came to bring the Love of God. He came as a revolutionary who saw a need to go beyond the fear of an angry God and bring the Love from above. What few know is that Jesus was the man and the Christ soul entered him at 30 years as a new soul from the soul world. So Jesus the man and Christ the avatar, 2 in 1 and a message of Love, this was the message of the Master.
When John the Baptist poured the waters of the Jordon over Jesus, "the Spirit of God descended like a dove and hovered over him. With that, a voice from the heavens said, This is my beloved Son. My favor rests on him." Matthew 3:16-17
For 3 years starting at 30 years of age, Jesus Christ shared his message and today 2007 years later that message is still alive and strong.
The Resurrection is a reminder that we can never die and that life is everlasting. We will all one day rise above this body, suffering and pain and live in peace, love and harmony for another cycle of time.
Christ reminds us of the Love God has for us and that his life was a sacrifice like the lamb on the alter. If he did not die and rise, his death would have been useless. To conquer death is the greatest act of magic and the real illusion. He showed that a man was willing to suffer & be humiliated all for the love of God and His Children. Before we are born we know all the life lessons we came to learn, all the karma we came to clear and the time will come when all will rise like the morning sun and shine bright for a thousand years.
When Jesus died on the Cross a strange light was seen over the world. "It was now around midday, and darkness came over the whole land until midafternoon with an eclipse of the sun. The curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two. Jesus uttered a loud cry and said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. Luke 23: 45-46
In Matthew 27: 46 Jesus cries out in a loud tone, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?
My God, my God why have you forsaken me? Another mystery. Since Christ was a new soul, he could not experience pain. The Christ soul leaves the body on the cross. Jesus is left to suffer the last minutes and the mystery continues. By Christ coming to earth, he opens a pathway for all Christians souls to come down from the soul world. A new religion is established and we celebrate his Resurrection today. We have died many times and will be born many times. Life is eternal and God has a plan, it is all in His Hands.
Enjoy this Day of Light and New Beginnings. Rise from the illusion and start your own revolution. We are the solution for war and all it takes is Love.
Love was the Message of the Master and Love is the Key to Resurrection. It reminds us that one day we will all rise again from the ashes and shine in our true Glory as Angels of God, Messengers of Peace & Beings with Love 4 all no matter what religion you were born in.
Awaken the Inner Christ and sacrifice the old...so the new world & the new U can emerge out of the ashes of forgotten memories.
From the heart,
Lucho

Lunar Eclipse 3-3 begins March Vortex MAtrix
Dear Family of Light,Special greetings 2 all the new souls entering our circle of light.
Each of U is honored, loved and appreciated.
OK, What is going on in the planetary cosmos? Have u felt the energy or is it just me?
These past few days has been intense and so much to do...so little time.
This is a sign of the speeding up of time. Imagine an old cassette tape...on one end it is going slow, but the side that is finishing is going faster. A spin in time or time 2 spin?
Hold on tight as we enter March Vortex Matrix. From now till March 23 we will be in a sort of cosmic sandwich, meaning the Lunar Eclipse of this Sat the 3rd begins an acceleration of cosmic light into our plane of existence. A Total Lunar eclipse where manifestation becomes an act of courage, a time to open the heart for galactic surgery.
A time to clean out the old and let new light come in.
3-3 to 3-23 --they are master #s..33 life of Chirst - 323=8 =Infinity
Remember in ancient times...the signs are in the sky.
From now till March 19, when we have a partial Solar Eclipse to be capped of with the Spring Equinox on the 21 March...so fire in the sky and a sun~moon dance to remind us of who we are and why we came to Earth.
Don't tell me you forgot...no worries...I forget sometimes, but the Sun & Moon...they never forget and it is like the inner solar systems gets a recharge or reboot.
When we consciously work with this energy, we have a great opportunity to affect a deep and positive change in the mass consciousness and our world. We can use this energy to manifest anything we desire. The bigger the wave of consciousness, or intensity of voltage of the thought energy, the easier it is for us to bring positive changes and to dream the forgotten dream.
This is a time to align with your Higher Self and plant the seeds for your future. It is a time to remember our ancients and the legacy they leave behind in stone and in our souls.
Take this time to go within and plant your seeds for the future. Be the powerful soul you are and let God guide you in His mysterious ways. We are all going thru changes and when we become still and silent….we will be victorious and all our dreams will come true. Never give up on the dream, as it is within your reach.
See this time as a chance to awaken. As your inner crystal awakens and is eclipsed by the inner sun, see the pure energy you are, a being of light, peace and wisdom. We have this celestial gift to truly become a master in time or out of time. Timeless energy in a cycle of creation or re-creation.
The universe opens a portal of light and you can feel the magic in the air. Imagine the world in your hands and the sun in your 3rd eye. We heal the earth and ourselves with our positive thoughts as we unite with millions around the world.
The moon and your emotions are cleared and cleansed when the sun and earth align. Let the light and peace of God shower blessings upon you as you fulfill your dreams and visions.
You are a Master in time becoming timeless and free. Be who you were meant to be.
This Saturday's eclipse will visible from parts of all seven continents:

Here in the United States, you have to be in the eastern half of the country to witness totality. At the end of the day on Saturday, go outside and face east. As the sun sets behind your back, a red Moon will rise before your eyes--fantastic!
Maximum eclipse is at 6:21 p.m. EST.

Total Lunar Eclipse of March 03
The first of two total lunar eclipses in 2007 is unique in that it is partly visible from every continent around the world. The eclipse occurs at the descending node, 3.2 days before apogee and 1.9 days after the Moon occults Saturn (northern and eastern Europe). During the eclipse, the Moon is in southern Leo, about 13º east of the 1.3-magnitude star Regulus (alpha Leo). The Moon's orbital trajectory takes it through the northern half of Earth's umbral shadow. Although the eclipse is not central, the total phase still lasts 73 minutes. The timings of the major phases of the eclipse are listed below.
Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 20:18:11 UT
Partial Eclipse Begins: 21:30:22 UT
Total Eclipse Begins: 22:44:13 UT
Greatest Eclipse: 23:20:56 UT
Total Eclipse Ends: 23:57:37 UT
Partial Eclipse Ends: 01:11:28 UT
Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 02:23:44 UT
At the instant of greatest eclipse (23:21 UT) the Moon will lie in the zenith for observers in Nigeria and Cameroon. At this time, the umbral magnitude peaks at 1.2331 as the Moon's southern limb passes 2.4 arc-minutes north of the shadow's central axis. In contrast, the Moon's northern limb will lie 6.9 arc-minutes from the northern edge of the umbra and 32.2 arc-minutes from the shadow centre. Thus the northern sections of the Moon will appear much brighter than the southern part, which lies deeper in the shadow. Since the Moon samples a large range of umbral depths during totality, its appearance will change dramatically with time.
During totality, the spring constellations will be well placed for viewing so a number of bright stars can be used for magnitude comparisons. Spica (mv = +0.98) is 40º southeast of the eclipsed Moon, while Arcturus (mv = -0.05) is 49º to the northeast. Alphard or Alpha Hya (mv = +1.99) is 28º to the southwest and Procyon (mv = -0.05) is 50º to the west. Saturn shines at magnitude +0.8 about 24º northwest of the Moon near the western border of Leo.
The entire event will be visible from Europe, Africa and western Asia. In eastern Asia, moonset occurs during various stages of the eclipse. For example, the Moon sets while in total eclipse from central China and southeast Asia. Western Australia catches part of the initial partial phases but the Moon sets before totality. Observers in eastern North and South America will find the Moon already partially or totality eclipsed at moonrise. From western North America, only the final penumbral phases are visible.
So what is the Goddess Moon telling us? What is Father Sun saying? They are saying get things in order and finish what u start. Move if u need to and let the new u emerge like the fire that comes from the inner desire to be free.
Then watch the Sun do the dance of magic ~*~
Partial Solar Eclipse of March 19
The first solar eclipse of 2007 is just the beginning. No wonder we are all on fire.

The power of the collective starts with just one thought, then others are inspired by it and they will acknowledge the beauty of truth, peace, love, happiness and purity.
Love is the greatest healer, so love yourself first.
Remember God is only 1 thought away. See the Supreme Soul sending you waves of light and peace and be a channel for the world. Open the heart, let it be Eclipsed~~cleared.
Whatever you have to do, do it now.
There is no need to worry about what will happen to the world or in the future. God has a plan and in the end we will smile and be amazed of how powerful we were all along. You are eternal light and perfect now.
Keep your soul happy, free and peaceful and attention to be what God wants you to be. You will know when you sit in silence and listen….
It is very simple. Free the self of negative thinking, give time to yourself, do service and be with God. Don't allow any waste thoughts to come. Negative thoughts are the enemy.
Prayer is you talking with God, Meditation is God talking to you, but we need to be still and hear His words and Love 4 us.
I slept and dreamed that life was all joy.
I woke and saw that life was service.
I served and discovered that service was joy.
Catching God's thoughts will happen more naturally and your life will be filled with bliss.
Life will become more enjoyable and not a war with others or your mind.
You search for something you know exists because you have experienced it in the past. All your searching ends when you find yourself. You do not need to go anywhere, or to look beyond yourself. Just become what you were before. You fill your life with peace when you discover you only have to be yourself, to be what you have always been - a peaceful being of light.
Om Shanti!!
Opening our Hearts to the Universe, the Universe smiles at us as we awaken the inner sun and dance with the moon.
From the Eternal Heart,
Lucho L Condor
Happy Valentines Day- Thoughts on Love
THOUGHTS ON LOVELove such a strange word, but such a powerful feeling. We have many types of love, love of a mother and father, love of brothers and sisters, love of a husband or wife, love of our relatives, love for food or pleasures of life and even love for our pets. But the love I talk about is my love for God.
Since I was a little boy, I used to go to church and wonder, "How much love does God have for me? I felt so much love from God and maybe it was a memory of something eternal. Now 47 years later, I understand the greatest love is God's love for His Children and the World. When we will love God with all our heart and soul, magic begins to happen and our relationships begin to heal. Knowing and feeling that God loves you more than you can imagine is the first step to being a Master.
It is the key to really loving yourself. When I love myself and love God deeply then I can love others.
This is Original Love. True love based on wisdom. Love from God is timeless and will never end. It is eternal. True love has no conditions, no history, no beginning and no end. True original love is based on seeing others in their perfect form, divine gods and goddess.
In today's world, love is mixed with many emotions and conditions. How can you say to someone I love you today, but tomorrow I don't love you. We get trapped in the body and sexual feelings and then someone better comes along and love changes. Is this real love?
Love is energy, a force so powerful that all the darkness of the mind melts away. When we feel God's love it is like you are an angel floating on the wings of time and nothing else matters.
The purity of your soul shines in ways you never knew before and you feel this love energy heal you and heal the world. This is real healing and what the world is looking for. It is what I have always searched for...a love in the purest way with no conditions, no attachments and no judgments...the way children love...innocent and free.
We all need love. We all want to feel wanted and cared for, but first we have to love ourselves with the eternal wisdom God shares. When we love ourselves and begin to see ourselves the way God sees us, then the nothing can bring you down, no problems can stop you and all your fears, worries, guilt and depression disappears.
Can you remember the last time a miracle happened in your life? I bet you looked up to heaven and said Thank You God!
God smiles at you and says, "Miracles are love in action. You deserve all the treasures I have in my Heart and you are my special child." Can you feel the love God is giving you now and forever?
God's love is the basis to love the world and accept the reality that we are love in action and when you love from the heart the world loves you back. This is the greatest miracle.
God's love is what makes this world go around and without it we would be lost. Your love for God is like a magnet that draws his powers, wisdom and peace. Once we were Divine beings and love was the energy that made life possible.
Love is such a magic word.
L is for Light. The truth that you are a divine being of Light. Perfect now.
O is for Obedience. Obeying the laws of nature and understanding the laws of karma.
V is for Victory. I am a victorious soul and success is my birthright.
E is for Eternity. It has no time. Love is Eternal.
So Love dances with the Light and I obey God's directions to be an example for the world. This gives me victory over my weaknesses and I see myself in the eternal drama of life, I see my original love in paradise and all the souls with me now show me that love is eternal, a magical play and I am a hero actor. We come to learn the truth about love.
It is my birthright to be loved and to love. But when I love God, then I can love myself and love the world.
I love you....and God's love is the miracle of life.
From the heart,
Lucho
PS-- Below is a letter I wrote last year for Valentines to all the women I love....
To the Many Women I Love, to my soul mates and future sisters of light...Happy Valentines Day...every day...today, yesterday and tomorrow, now and forever....
I send U my love and share my thoughts when everyone is falling in and out of love. But if Love were eternal...would we stop loving?
I am hearing my music from India in the background and I am lost in the Supreme Love of God. When I was Holy a few thousand years ago, the world danced in happiness and we were pure, Divine Beings of Light, full of peace and compassion.
I send you a message that is eternal and will never die. Love is eternal and will never end; it just changes as we change. When I change the world changes.
To all my friends, Brothers, who once were Sisters, and Sisters who once were Brothers, we are all souls playing different roles in different body timelines-- on this Day of Love, a message that is eternal, very old and will never end.
Happy Valentines Day!! If we see Today as a Day to Love the World and those in your life, then true love begins to govern our lives. Love yourself and be the light of God's Eye.
In the Golden Age, some 5000 years ago, Love was in its original form and we, the spiritual beings of light functioned on pure energy. That Golden Age of the past and one to come soon, (History repeats itself) ...the -1000 years of peace, harmony and bliss when pure love ruled, will bless you in ways uncounted. We - you and me were perfect. In God's Eye we are perfect now. Remember God sees your past, present and future, He does not judge you, we judge ourselves. Have mercy my love and be free.
In ancient times past, men did not think of sex....they were soul conscious and lived in pure light. 100 % soul activation. Do U Remember?
Love was the rule of the game and we were gods and goddess of love. A memory of Atlantis, or the Greek Gods....in India they were called deities...Divine Beings, the Bible talks about paradise on Earth and Adam and Eve. The original love was planted on earth, but time has made us forget who we are and who we can become again.
Now it is time to awaken that memory again.
When Adam or Adi Dev, the first man lived on earth, it was perfection in all its Glory. In India they called it Bharata. Have you read the Gita? Krishna was the prince in the beginning of time and when he married Radhe, he becomes Narayan, the Perfect Man, the King of the Golden Age. The stories of Lakshmi and Narayan can be the story of true love in the eternal game of life. They are our stories of the past or of the future, when time is a cycle. It is the story of you and me.
Love was the pure energy that all beings flowed in.
Some of us remember the Alpha and the Omega.
But when did time begin, When did Love begin? God is Love, so maybe Love is eternal and time is the great illusion.
The Kogis and Incas have the memory of when time began or when the world was created or recreated.... the old souls need to remember who they are.....Time is not as we think....It is a circle, a perfect drama , the zero --O ...the perfect cycle of time in a timeless region. My soul lives in that world of peace where I become timeless and love is the only way to live.
We are time travelers. Who were those deities of ancient past?
Maybe they were you and me. We were those Divine Beings living in pure love, perfection and harmony. A memory that is in your soul right now.
We just need to awaken to the bigger picture.
In the beginning love was not as it is today. It is such a shame to see so many hearts broken, so much attachment to sex and small pleasures of life, all in the name of love. We have forgotten who we are, how to really love.
We have forgotten our past. Who R U? How does God see you? As a Master or Slave? See yourself as a peaceful, loving soul... a being that will live forever and never die. Then God will smile on you and the sun will shine forever on your path.
We will become Divine again, like Angels of light, a memory of pure love...the cycle continues.
What is love like in the Golden Age?
In that ancient past we created babies with pure thoughts, 2 eyes united in pure energy and not the physical way we create children now.
Love and sex are 2 aspects of the Soul and body, using the mind or emotions and the intellect, but also of our karma and drama. Sex today only last for a few minutes, but true love last forever and goes beyond anything physical. In the Golden Age true love flows because we are perfect and in balance with our male/female energy.
True love is eternal and beyond the physical. Sex is below Love~Compassion is above and Love is in the middle. Sex is the seed, love is the flower and compassion is the fragrance. A love united with God makes us Masters and free of karma, free of the slaves of our passions and desires.
We become the future kings and queens of the Golden Age now. How did those Divine beings get to where they are? They must have perfected themselves at this time, the Confluence age of Light and Dark, Iron and Gold. This is the time to really love God and get your reward in the future.
When your love is has no desires and you are egoless, you need nothing from others. When your love is not a need, but a sharing of the heart, when you give love and not ask for it, when love is unconditional ...then the world changes and you become love in action. That pure fragrance united with God's power is the blessing of purity working with knowledge. This understanding sets you free. The result is compassion united in love and healing that brings a passion to my soul. It becomes like a fire that burns away all feelings of sex, jealousy and attachments.
Love is giving and the happiness in being, then the link or yoga with God makes this love true and eternal like a fragrance of a rose or a lotus flower that is detached from any outcome, true freedom to express yourself.
When we Love God, that energy becomes a protection for me. It is a way to heal the past hurts and mend a broken heart. Only God's love can heal the world and the angel within starts to shine in ways unknown.
Do you have an angel within waiting to be born again? Do you have an Angel of Love who is really there to protect you? When we were born, we were angels and that purity and innocence is the gifts of God. Then true peace follows and love becomes like a river searching for the Ocean.
Sometimes we hide our truth, our purity and our love. We need to awaken to our true selves and be that love in action again. We need to let go of the ego and become children again.
One day we will remember the Power of God's Love in our life and the 1000 years of peace will helps us forget about the sorrow of the present day.
Then True Love will last Forever!!
Become Love in action and set everyone free.
Happy Valentines Day! Every day...today, yesterday and tomorrow, now and forever.
Smile God Loves U!!
Much Love, Light and Peace,
Lucho
