Dalai Lama Live web cast Oct 17

lcondor — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 07:12:26 GMT

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.

lcondor — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 02:04:00 GMT

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImhEU4WiyOo 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 + Miami Ceremony

lcondor — Sat, 12 May 2007 01:57:35 GMT

Dear Family of Light, Talk about burning the candle at both ends...exciting times we live in, just don't get burned...So many Fires...but the Inner Fire is the most important. Please see attached Press Release on 4 Directions Gathering. Chet is giving our friends a special discount of 15%. If U are inspired to come - cost for conference is $175, send an email to Chet and let him know - cbsnow@npgcable.com or call 928-204-1962 A time to return to ancient lands and remember the lost visions. From the heart, Lucho ======================= 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.

Co-produced by Karen Koebnick of Sedona Spiritual Journeys. http://stellarproductionslive.com/ ====================OOOOOOOOOOOO=================== 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. http://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 http://www.undp.org/cso/ip.html ______________________________________________________________________ For more information, contact Luisz Olmedo Martinez, of the UNDP’s Unidad de Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible (luisz.olmedo.martinez@undp.org)or Danilo Villafañe (gonawinduatayrona@yahoo.com) from the Gonawindua Tayrona Indigenous Organization in Colombia; or Anne Deruytttere, of the IDB’s Indigenous Peoples and Community Development Unit (anned@iadb.org) in Washington, D.C. -- Tribal Ink News www.tribalink.org is supporting this project as a Humanitarian Media NGO in strategic alliance with Airline Ambassadors Int. www.airlineamb.org Free Media 4 Our Elders, A Voice 4 the Future. =================================================================== 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.

Wisdom & Love on Full Moon

lcondor — Wed, 02 May 2007 06:39:53 GMT

Dear Family of Light, A feeling of united forces with kindred souls and sharing the mysteries of life. These past few days have been intense and can feel the Buddha Moon raising the vibration of Earth and all of us. Wisdom & Love, Christ and Buddha ~*~ A light comes from the Sky, the Ceremony on Sacred Ground has begun. A 5 pointed star and Mountain Guides. Who rides the storm, who crashes the norm, we are spiritual revolutionaries birthing a New Paradigm. In Time we Become Divine, In Love we become Pure. In Peace we become God's Angels In Bliss we become the Deities of Future Past and Present Dreams. ~~*~~ Hold my hand and let me show U the Sun. Hold my Heart as we become One. :-) ~ (-: Who are we but the Masters of Time, endless, eternal, stars Divine, like a Tree of Life, all leaves smiling ~~> Dancing to the Song of God's Heart. We sit on the edge of time, knowing all that is to come.... then we wonder why it is not done...Because one place and time has not come... The Christ and the Buddha teach us to bridge Wisdom with Love to unite the hearts of all God's Children. Are we not tired of broken hearts? Heal the heart as U heal the world, let the inner Christ and Buddha smile a million dreams 4 them to come true. From the Heart, Lucho ++++++++++++++++++++((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))+++++++++++++++++++ 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. "The Wesak Festival" booklet by Alice A. Bailey, published by Lucis Trust One final note... At three minutes and four seconds after 2 AM on the 6th of May this year, the time and date will be 02:03:04 05/06/07. Hows that 4 timing!

New Moon Party & Luna Wizard Thoughts

lcondor — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 16:00:47 GMT

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: http://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 Year of the Red Magnetic Moon 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 http://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. http://www.astrodreamadvisor.com/M_white_rhy_wizard.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. So if you are in Miami Join us for the New Moon Ceremony ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WHO: You!

The Resurrection of the Christ & U Reborn

lcondor — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 10:50:54 GMT

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 ===========)))))))00000((((((=========== 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

lcondor — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 09:01:29 GMT

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: see www.spaceweather.com Map-- http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/images/lunareclipse/LE2007Mar03-Fig1.GIF Europe and Africa are favored. People there will see Earth's red shadow swallow the Moon for more than an hour around 23:21 GMT: Great Animation. www.shadowandsubstance.com 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. Live webcasts: from Italy- http://www.uai.it/live/ from Norway- http://www.runarsandnes.com/astro/index.html http://www.astrofoto.no/ from the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Ecarlkop/maaneclips2007/leclips2007.html the Canary Islands; http://live.saros.org from the Netherlands (2) http://www.astroversum.nl/artikelen/observeren/maansverduistering_3_maart_2007.html from Spain- http://www.ucm.es/info/Astrof/obs_ucm/luna/eclipse_luna_3mar07/imagenes_directo.html 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. see this web for more info http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/OH2007.html 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

lcondor — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 23:52:09 GMT

THOUGHTS ON LOVE Love 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

Who is Brahma? World Meditation Peace Day 1-18

lcondor — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 18:59:23 GMT

On January 18, 2007 more than 900,000 Raja Yogis from around the world will gather in meditation and loving mental service for a day of Silence and Peace. Imagine it as a day to serve the world with your powerful thoughts and connect with the Seed of the Human World Tree. The power of my mind transcends the limits of time, the universe and space. Let me share with you a unique story of a man named Prajapita Brahma who has changed the world of many souls including myself. In 1986, my life was in disarray, I had just had a NDE in a car crash and somehow God was sending me a message. Seeing my life flash before me and then traveling to a land of peace and silence gave me new insight to the mystery of the soul, God and Nature. My life has never been the same and to this day I still dream of this man who inspired millions to understand the truth about and Time and souls in a new clear way. The year was 1936 and the world was in conflict. There was a need for a new vision, a spiritual awakening and God had a plan. What if you were to receive the news today that you were going to be granted a Divine Vision.... That happened to Dada Lekhraj in an ancient city in India. Divine Visions Dada Lekhraj born 1876 had a very humble beginning as the son of a schoolmaster. Born in a middle class family, he rose quickly in his profession through hard effort, honesty combined with cleverness and focused intellect, to become one of the richest men in India. He was a very pious, humble, accurate, disciplined, noble, Godly, spiritual minded and devotee of the highest order. He was trusted and respected by all people who knew him, including kings during that period. His diamond business was instrumental in creating crowns and special jewels for the Royalty of India. He was an ordinary person in the sense that he was neither a mass leader nor a politician; neither a saint nor a scientist. But he was a man with special qualities. Dada was contemplating a life of retirement as was the custom when you reach 60 years of age. A life in complete devotion to God and service for humanity. But little did he realize that something out of the world would happen in his life. Something so extraordinary and amazing that his life would never be the same. He was stunned by a series of divine visions that took many years to understand, but as God works in mysterious ways he had the faith that he was being chosen for a special task. Dada was sitting in the back hall of his bungalow with a group of fellow disciples of his guru, he began to get a strange feeling and an experience of lightness. He recognized these unique inner sensations as the onset of a spiritual encounter, but still he didn't understand the cause or why it was happening. Yet there was exquisite sense of heightened perception, a new clarity of mind and vision. A powerful intuitive grasp of reality was growing in him. He went to his meditation room to get away from the company of his visitors. As he sat alone, absorbed in the incomprehensible manifestations of a peace, new levels of his being was emerging. He was filled with a divine intoxication and waves of bliss surged on him, drenched him in ecstasy. He had gone beyond all consciousness of his body; he was a pure soul, pure light, floating in an ocean of bliss. Then a revelation: a vision of the four-armed deity of Vishnu, the symbol of the perfect man and woman. “Hum So, So Hum, I am you and you are me.” He didn’t understand. Few days later, Dada received a double revelation: first a vision of Shiva Paramatma ( The Supreme Soul whose eternal form is a Point of Light ), This Loving Light seemed to be an Ocean of Peace and Bliss. Shiva was manifesting Himself on Earth as he promised many years ago. When the World reaches its most degraded state, I, Shiva must return to restore balance and peace to my children. After this vision he saw a great war on earth with natural calamities and many souls suffering. Dada was crying and didn't understand what this all meant, but deep inside he felt that peace that only God can give. The vision of Shiva (meaning world benefactor) helped him to understanding his own identity. The Supreme Soul is a Point of Light. His children, souls are also tiny stars, sparks of conscientious light. We the souls take bodies and play out our roles on the stage of the physical world, while Shiva remains in His eternal form in Nirvana. By taking birth and rebirth, we forget ourselves, we become trapped in the body and lose our peace. God knows the entire cosmic play, the beginning, the middle and the end of the drama, the Alpha and the Omega. At the end of the play, He-She comes and tells us the story of life and teaches the ancient Raja Yoga to become Kings again. Raja means king and it is a mastery of the inner kingdom. Perfection is possible as Brahma became the perfect example of service to God and the World. Abraham or Brahma means the Father of Humanity. Dada saw very powerful bombs with guided missiles that created havoc on earth. Gigantic fireballs, cities in flames, war and suffering were raging everywhere. When he received these visions, America had not dropped the first atomic bombs. What did this all mean? Dada also saw civil wars mainly in India, culminating in an awesome wave of natural catastrophes: floods and tidal waves, earthquakes and volcanoes, nature was out of balance. Dada began to tremble uncontrollably witnessing the scenes of this great world wide transformation. But there was no escape. Then the silent aftermath. Dada, who had never shed a tear, was weeping now. “Oh, God, please stop this, please stop this!” he cried. “What a terrible war! Please, now show me your other side, your beautiful form.” In the midst of this chaos, Dada saw a group of people dressed in white meditating on a mountain top. He could see a wonderful light leaving their 3rd eye and traveling to a world of peace and silence. Then these lights returned to the world of heaven. It was like deities being born on a new earth again. A Golden Age where love and peace was the rule. All memory of the past is gone and the cycle spins eternally. With these visions, everything changed for Dada, even his name. God said, "Now you will be Brahma." Brahma Baba, as I like to call him, could not apply his mind to his diamond business any more. It simply had no interest. He decided to wind up his affairs. He had owned his shop for so many years, and yet it all looked so strange to him, so meaningless. He walked down the aisles of his jewelry warehouse, looking at the trays full of glittering diamonds, millions of dollars worth of gems, gleaming symbols of the greatest wealth, and he felt that they were simply stones, worthless hunks of mineral. Later, Baba saw the moment of his uncle’s death. He saw the soul leave the body, exiting through the forehead. Life energy, rising like mercury in a thermometer, moved up from the toes and concentrated in the head. In an instant the soul departed. Thus he understood the process of death. Only the body died, not the soul. These visions continued periodically over several months. They gave him new insights into the innate qualities of human souls, revealed the mysterious entity of God and described the process of world transformation. The intensity of the messages conveyed by the visions was such that Brahma Baba felt compelled to wrap up his worldly business and devote himself to understanding the significance and application of this revealed knowledge. Although the visions ceased, their Source remained with him for the next 3 decades, guiding his transformation as well as that of those around him. Brahma Baba’s Legacy 70 years have passed since Brahma Baba received those visions. Who could have guessed – besides those touched by similar visionary experiences – that the young women he placed at the forefront of the institution he founded would now be on the world stage, sharing platforms with political and religious leaders at the highest level, and leading a lifestyle revolution currently followed by nearly one million people from all backgrounds of culture and religion, race and society? Or that millions of others – at this time when loss of integrity in human hearts and minds has plunged so many into despair – would be taking benefit from the teachings he transmitted, finding empowerment in the present and hope for the future? The living skills that Brahma Baba taught have stood the test of time. The young women that he put to the forefront, now in their eighties and nineties, have become beacons of love, peace and happiness in a world increasingly troubled by disordered relationships, greed, addiction, anger and violence. They are now angels waking amongst us. Brahma Baba passed on in 1969 at the age of 93. The Tower of Peace on the Madhuban campus is a tribute to the invincible spirit of this ordinary human being who achieved greatness by rising to the challenge of the deeper truths of life. Last night I was watching the news and saw a documentary about the future of war and it seemed the visions Brahma Baba had, I was watching on TV. What impressed me the most about Brahma Baba was his understanding of the need for women to be spiritual leaders. He never said he was God, only an instrument for the Supreme. He only saw the good in each soul and for 14 years he isolated himself in Karachi to study this new wisdom from the highest source. When I walked into the Raja Yoga center in Bogotá in 1986, I saw the photo of Brahma and when I looked into his eyes...I felt I knew him before. Deja Vu big time. Chills ran up my back and here I was with Dadi Janki, a spiritual leader who knew Brahma since the beginning. She saw him in action and today she is considered one of the most stable minds in the world. A true example of walking the talk, peace is your birthright and now is the time to receive it again. Another aspect of Brahma's teachings is the need to purify the soul on all levels. Purity is deeply connected to self respect. Since a little kid I wanted to be a priest, but as I grew up, I lost some faith in the Church and didn't agree with the idea of hell. Reincarnation for me was a fact, not what we hear from the pulpit today. I took the Raja Course in 2 days and was invited to a spiritual retreat in the Colombian mountains. One of the last lessons is the disciplines of a true Raja Yogi. They told me waking up early in the morning is helpful...now I sleep 4 hours a day and like clockwork my eyes open at 4 am, sometimes I stay awake till 2 and wake at 6 am to go to my song divine class. We call it the murli and it is like God's love letter to me. I have found that taking an hour for meditation and reading something spiritual before 7 am gives me so much peace, wisdom and power, my day goes by like a breeze. My teacher at that time was an Australian named Ken O'Donnell, he now runs the BK Centers in Brazil and is an amazing musician, writer and biz consultant. We were talking about purity and the need for deep soul consciousness. He told me he had been practicing celibacy for 10 years and I couldn't believe it. What now I have to give up sex? At that time I had a girlfriend who I loved very much. But I had jealousy and sometimes it was hard to trust her because she was not always honest. I knew if I got married, I would be divorced in 3 years looking for the next one. Deep inside I knew true freedom was being pure and simple. I did not want a ball and chain and one day I had a dream where I saw myself as an angel of light taking all these beautiful women to get married with God. From that day I decided to become pure, it has not been easy but the freedom you feel seeing everyone as a soul and not needing to take power away or give my power away has been a blessing. It seems that this kind of courage attracts God into your life as you are going against the grain. My friends at first thought I was crazy, but deep, profound change can only happen with a pure, honest and clean mind. Brahma Baba showed us that we can become angels, perfect men and women in balance with our ying/yang and live like brothers and sisters. I have a golden ring on my finger that was given to me by Dadi Janki many years ago. This is my magic ring to see each one as divine beings of peace. May this day be blessed with peace, love, purity, power and wisdom. Once we were all this and one day we will all return to innocence. Enjoy the sounds of a new creation. U becoming a song for the Universe and a melody and harmony of love and bliss.

New Year Thoughts and Who is Shiva?

lcondor — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 19:25:53 GMT

Dear Family of Light, In ageless times, we awaken our real mission. While all is in transition Visions of the past and memories of the future. 2007 comes from Sevens Heaven and a year of Transformation and Determination welcomes your call. No fear to fall, just fly with new wings. ~~*~~ They have been there all along. Stop the world around U... become still as a star beyond this world. Sit next 2 God and Feel His~Her Energy soothe your mind. Sometimes we need controlled amnesia to forget the past and remember who I really Am. A flying bird with the wings of a condor. I Am Light, Peace, Love, Bliss and Power. A Flower is awakened like the Lotus above it all. Call your ancestors, there love has never died. Honor who U are and stop doing what U don't like, flow like a river and be love in action. Use your mind to heal the world --then U will heal in the process. A few days ago I got a great email. It was about a woman who had a vision of Shiva. Many years ago, I also had a vision of Shiva. I was sitting on that same sacred mountain in India and was going thru some turmoil. I had a book and opened it to any page and the words came out. "Be still and know I am with you...As the Sun of Peace come to me and be free." I am Shiva. I was watching the sunset and felt myself leave my body as a star of light floating into the sun. When I came out the other end, all was released. I was clean and pure, like a massage of the soul and showing me who I really was. Every now and then I reemerge that vision to remind me of my mission. Who is Shiva? The first worship in the copper age years before Christ was to Shiva, the Seed of the World Tree, the Benefactor and the Light. Shiva also means "One who purifies everyone by the utterance of His name" or "the Pure One". The name Shiva is the Holiest of Holy names and for me He-She is alive and well. He is only a thought away. Tune into the right signal and receive the transmission. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva So back to the email and the visions of Shiva... Enjoy and have a blessed New Year, From the heart, Lucho ============)))))))((((((((((((((((================ A Funny Thing Happened On My Way to Nirvana by Sharon Janis http://www.spiritual-happiness.com/ I am neither the conscious nor the unconscious mind, neither intelligence nor ego, neither the ears nor the tongue nor the senses of smell and sight, neither ether nor air nor fire nor water nor earth. I am consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva! I am Shiva!. – SHANKARACHARYA Chapter Twelve WHO IS SHIVA? IT WAS MARCH, 1980, and I had been going to the meditation center in Ann Arbor for nearly a year. By this time, I'd moved into a large house owned by one of the local devotees. He wanted to make it into a kind of annex, where people could live with others who were also on the spiritual path, without having to follow the strict schedule of the meditation center itself. We called it "Mike's House." There were four or five people staying in the house at a time. The owner lived in the basement, and rarely came upstairs. He was a complete recluse. I hardly ever saw him, even though we were living in the same house. Mike was quiet, pale, and seemed unemotional, with an odd sense of humor to boot. He reminded me of my sister's nerdy boyfriend from high school, who had once developed a plan to take over the world by blowing up Australia with anti- matter. I couldn't figure out if Mike was a potential psychopath or just a good yogi, spending his time in silence and contemplation, but he was always respectful and friendly to me, so I wasn't too uneasy about it. Then there was Hari, who lived there for a while during my stay. I had never met anyone quite like Hari. He was thin and had a very flexible, yogic body. You could tell he practiced hatha yoga, the physical exercises, because when he sat in the lotus posture, which is like crossing your legs with your feet on top, he seemed to do it perfectly. This guy was passionate in an unusual way. He may have been a contemporary version of the archetypal "mad lover of God," or possibly, he was totally nuts. I guess I think of him as a little of both. Hari was always falling in love. His heart was so open that he would walk through the woods nearby, weeping as he hugged each tree. He would feel love- energy flowing into him from the leaves and would lie on the ground embracing Mother Earth. Hari used to tell me about this clear, blue light, the light of consciousness in the space of the head. He explained that the bones in his skull were somehow blocking his flow of kundalini, the powerful force that is said to move up through the nerve centers along the spine. I had not yet learned too many details about the ancient science of kundalini, and so this all sounded a little far-fetched to me. While we were meditating or chanting at the center, I'd occasionally look over and see him undulating with his hips, as though a spigot there turned on a flow of energy that seemed to move up his spine and into his head. Hari fell in love with a different woman every week. He would become totally obsessed with each one, worshipping them as manifestations of the Divine Mother. When I moved out of the annex, he fell down to the floor and grabbed my ankles, shouting, "Goddess! Don't leave me!" I guess you could say I was flattered. I had certainly never thought of myself as the goddess type, and this was my first experience of being worshipped! I couldn't imagine that he wasn't faking this whole divine love thing to some degree, but looking back on it now, I can't imagine that he was. For him, the experience was very real. Maybe it also had something to do with drugs. I never saw Hari take drugs, but occasionally we spoke about them. By age seventeen, I had stopped taking anything more than an occasional pipeful of pot. And now even that had fallen away. Drugs did not seem to be necessary or accepted on this spiritual path. One day, it was announced at the center that a holiday called Shivaratri was coming up in two weeks. Shivaratri means the "Night of the Lord," and is a widely celebrated holy day in India. The meditation center was going to celebrate with an all-night chant of the powerful mantra, Om Namah Shivaya, which means "I honor Shiva, the source of the universe." I thought to myself, "I can hardly stay conscious when we chant Om Namah Shivaya for ten minutes during the evening programs. How on earth am I going to chant all night?" Along came Hari with a suggestion: peyote, hallucinogenic cactus. I had never taken peyote, but thought it would be a challenge and adventure, and accepted his offer. Hari bought eight grams of peyote for me, and meticulously cleaned it all, He then was kind enough to boil the cactus for six hours, so I could drink the drug without getting sick from the plant fibers. Peyote was known for its side effect of nausea. We hoped this process would protect me from a potential puke-fest, which would have been really out of place in the holy and peaceful meditation hall. I was a little nervous while drinking the nasty-tasting brew. After all, once it's in, it's in. Each sip made my body convulse, as if someone were shaking me violently. Finally, I managed to choke it all down, and went to the chant. As I sat in the meditation hall, my vision became more acute. I could see the colors in the picture at the front of the room glowing brightly. Through the dim lighting, it was still possible to see some faces. I began to see a bright yellow glow emanating from some of the people sitting around me. Then, for the first time, I experienced my personal power in a tangible way. There was a wonderfully strong, bright, deep golden radiance surrounding me like a big ball. My personal power. My will-power. My aura. I could see it in my mind's eye as a bright golden light. My focus changed from that of the physical body to this explosion of power that was also there. I could feel the energy pulsing through me so vividly. It seemed to be a new perception of a force that had always existed inside and around me, though perhaps not as powerfully as in this moment. I perceived the same glow around other people, and noticed a few lines of light-energy stretching across the room from one person to another. My intuitive understanding was that these represented the strands of relationship. I saw some particularly strong energy lines connecting from one of the married people sitting up front to a woman who was not his wife, and wondered if there was a deeper relationship going on between them that I wasn't supposed to know about. The thought made me smile. I thought, "This must be what it is like to be psychic — watching people pretend to be one thing while you can see through to who they really are or what they are really thinking." The chant began at 8 pm. and continued until morning. In the deep dark hours of this holy night, I had the most subjectively REAL experience of my life. Soon after I closed my eyes, the inner show began. I saw myself as a white bird with large, expansive wings. I could feel myself flying, becoming aware of how familiar it was to soar so freely. The sensation awakened memories from my childhood. I used to fly every night in my dreams. I'd fly to distant lands, gliding through the sky. This had been one of my main modes of transportation in dreamland. But as I grew older, I had found myself unable to fly as high. My dreamtime flying abilities declined like an elderly person's ability to run. I kept getting lower and lower, slower and slower. At one point, I was unable to soar at all. I could only hover above the ground. One night, while floating from my bedroom down the stairs around age eight, my feet touched the ground, and I had to walk down the rest of the steps. After that, I couldn't fly anymore. Even in the dream state, I grieved for the loss. And here I was after all these years, soaring through this expansive space of personal consciousness with huge, white wings. It was breathtaking. I saw amazing things that night. At one point, there was a scene from what I assumed was a previous lifetime. I was a young, bald monk wearing light blue, silky robes. A man who seemed to be my teacher at that time was also in the vision. He was oriental, and quite old and thin. I can still see his kind face in my mind's eye. This was interesting to me, because I had been recently having thoughts about being a monk. Right after I started going to the meditation center, they had showed a video about the rites of passage involved with becoming a monk or swami. I had never, ever had any thought, in any way, shape or form, about monkhood before this. They would have had to call me "Swami Atheistananda!" Yet while watching this video, I had been surprised to find a deep longing inside myself to renounce the materialistic world in favor of a contemplative, monastic lifestyle. After this inner vision, I again became aware of the chant that had been moving through me. Even without any kind of drug, chanting can be totally intoxicating. The powerful rhythms, deep breath cycles, and open-hearted devotion, put the mind in a uniquely peaceful and fertile state. Throughout the night, we were chanting the mantra Om Namah Shivaya, over and over. I started to contemplate, who were we really singing to? Who was this Shiva? Was he just a Hindu deity, or was Shiva an integral part of my universe in some way? Who's name was I chanting? The peyote had created a more intense focus on my actions. I was no longer content to sit and simply sing this phrase without deeper contemplation. I was filled with a determination to know what it really meant. Traditional image of Shiva In my mind, I began to repeat my own mantra along with the chant: Who is Shiva...? Who is Shiva...? Who is Shiva...? My voice continued to chant Om Namah Shivaya with the group, but my mind was splitting its attention between the two lines: Om Namah Shivaya... Who is Shiva...? Om Namah Shivaya... Who is Shiva...? After several hours of this focus, I experienced another shift. With my eyes closed, I could see and feel the expansive world around me. As I watched, this world began to fold in on itself, as one might fold in all the flaps of a box to flatten it. I perceived a large, multidimensional area of the world and my various points of interaction with it, which kept bending and folding in. Flap after flap of this reality I’d been living in moved from being multidimensional into flat, two-dimensional, compact forms. As this folding process took place, I began to see faces of people from my life. Some stood out for a moment, while others passed by in large groups. Some manifested symbolically as a particular type of person or relationship. I acknowledged each recalled presence with a silent Om Namah Shivaya, as they appeared and then folded in with everything else. I saw people I liked, people I loved, and people I'd had a hard time with. But in this space, I loved them all. Each one was precious, a special part of my experience of life on this planet. I repeated the mantra with as much care and intention as I could for each person, each face or archetype that appeared before me. Every one received a well-wishing repetition of Om Namah Shivaya, as they dissolved into the psychic void. I knew something important was taking place, and participated with full attention. Now there were several things going on in my mind at once. Externally, I was chanting the mantra; inside, I was repeating "Who is Shiva?" and, in my vision, I was saying the mantra to all these faces from my past. It was my way of thanking them for whatever role they played in this life and universe that now seemed to be undergoing a massive transformation and collapse into itself. It was as though a black hole had appeared in reality, drawing in everything that was familiar to me. I wondered if this was it, if this was the end of the world as I knew it. I wondered if I would ever be able to, or would even want to recreate that construct of reality again. Even if I desired to put all the boxes of that life experience back together again, would it be possible? This was new territory, and by now it was profoundly out of my hands. There was no congressman to write to, no friend to confide in. There was no turning back, because the land I had come from no longer existed – never to return. Everything I knew had been stripped away, folded up and dissolved into the black nothingness. It was obvious to me, watching this reality folding in on itself, that none of it could have ever been real. It was like seeing a sideshow disassemble after the carnival; watching the tattooed man washing off the ink, and the sword swallower reset all the retractile devices in his swords. I had been fooled. I had been so gullible and naive. I had fallen for the illusion of this world. I thought things were important and they didn't even exist! I should have known better. How could I have fallen for all this again! As soon as the idea of again popped up, I slipped into the awareness that this had all happened many times before, perhaps many times before. Then, the final folding of the universe took place, to the farthest reaches of anything I had ever conceived. It all folded in and smashed through the entire physical universe, until there was only flat, infinite darkness. But right in the middle of this vast darkness was an amazing, still point of light. It was like a star or a small flame with no flickering at all. It was more peaceful than anything I had ever known. I knew this was the seed from which had sprouted the entire world, including who I thought I was and every thought and idea I'd ever had. This point of light was my innermost source, the source of all. Everything originated from that point, and now, had folded back into it. So this was Shiva, the source of the universe! For a moment, I wondered if this point of light existed in me or if I existed in it. But then it was so obvious. Both were true. In this place, even opposites coexisted perfectly. I remember thinking that, for many people, this experience is available consciously only after they leave the physical world. I knew without a doubt that I had been there before. In fact, this space was absolutely the most familiar place I had ever known. It was familiar in a deep way that nothing else had ever come close to. I later found a poem by T.S. Eliot that described this experience wonderfully: At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards, Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance. I can only say, there we have been; but I cannot say where. And I cannot say, how long, for that is to place it in time. —T.S. ELIOT Resting in the presence of this still point, I was suspended in a space between me and not me. There was just awareness. I was somewhat conscious of the personality and circumstances I had been living in, but I was not identified with being those circumstances. I wondered if I would ever go back to the illusion. It didn't seem possible to return to things as they had been, because it was clear when everything folded in on itself that it would never reappear in exactly the same configuration. If the seed of my life sprouted again, it would be a whole new illusion, a new life-dream, a new flower on the branch of this soul – although I might not realize it from within the mirage. What a play! I hoped I would never be fooled again. I wanted to stay with this peaceful light and not jump back into the mirage. Well, not only did the mirage reappear again, but it has reappeared in new and different manifestations again and again throughout this dance I call "my life." After seeing this “faceless face” of God, I no longer considered myself to be an atheist. Journal notes: This is an attempt to capture the depths of this experience in words: How can the Ultimate be described? The mind always tries to categorize and organize, Yet when it turns toward That and ceases to manufacture its intellectual illusions, it is shattered, dissolved, or deflected by defenses arising from ...a distorted sense of self-preservation ...a fear ...a passive submission to the sleep state ...a bright silver toy, dangled above To distract one's attention and re-crystallize, re-solidify, re-move one's awareness from the process of dissolution, turning one back - again - thus maintaining the underlying, fundamental process of oscillation. The continuous oscillation of contraction and expansion, being manifest through infinite dimensions of cycles and frequencies, Patterns upon patterns upon patterns. The highest, most infinite states of expansion and the most compact states of contraction, being (not becoming!) one, in a simultaneous, eternal... Symphony? Void? Bringing into one's awareness the highest truths whose very being form a total lack of knowledge, a lack of mind. A state of awareness far beyond the world and universe. Not beyond in space, but right under, or under-lying in an all-pervasive, enfolded kind of way. Yet it is really not enfolded... IT IS And nothing else is. It's not that this array of worlds and universes is not, but only that point of infinite space, time, knowledge, love and emptiness IS Manifest as the point of light Shimmering in the darkness, A symbol of a state of transcendence over the illusions that bind one in so many ways, and on so many levels, to contraction... or to the cycles of expansion and contraction, as these cycles underlie and maintain the qualities into which they crystallize. Thus all of these qualities, and their underlying cycles, and the time flow that sustains them, and the infinite other dimensions of pattern, are all contained within this point... Yet they're not really there at all, for the point contains nothing, perhaps like a channel of unlimited potential that is always manifesting, pulsating, creating, yet which never moves or changes at all. It is we, who by interacting with this potential, manifest or create these patterns of world or universe. And yet we ourselves are, at our most fundamental level, completely one with both that potential and its manifestation or lack of manifestation. Om Namah Shivaya I honor Shiva, the source of the Universe.

Winter Solstice and Silent Tree

lcondor — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 08:59:36 GMT

Dear Family of Light, Greetings of peace, light and love from the inner heart. Wishing everyone a Magical Solstice, a Spiritual Christmas and Blessed New Year. Today Dec 21 is the Winter Solstice, the beginning of winter and the longest night of the year. We are ending 2006 and going into 2007, the year of completion a 9. We just finished an 8 year, 2006, the symbol of infinity. When we see our eternal nature, a dot, we can time travel in infinity. You become time. So what time is it? Can you stop time or at least slow it down? As is your thoughts so will be your experience. A space between thoughts brings peace, like the space between notes in music creates harmony. These past few days have given me a chance to see how the astros affect us. We had the Mercury transit, a couple solar and lunar eclipses in Sept and the reality of a black hole in each galaxy. Pluto is going through our galactic center and we are all vibrating at a new frequency. A couple months ago I talked about a renewed awareness of the need to be Silent and Listen, to become timeless. These 2 words have the same letters. When we listen to our higher self we can see our purpose in life and sometimes it is clearer in Silence. Take time to go to within, to a space where time is absent, in the soul world vibrating next to God. We are in a solar cross, the Winter Solstice is the actual start of the real new year. It arrives each year sometime between Dec 20-23 (actual date varies because of our un-natural calendar) Have you ever wondered why the "end of the year" (Nov-Dec) has more religious holidays than any other time of year? It seems every religion and culture celebrates it's most important holidays during this time - - Ramadan for Islam; Hanukah for Jews; Devali for Hindus; Christmas for Christians; Zoroastrian; Paganism; Wiccan; Quanza; all have High Holy Holidays at this time of year. While the superstitions of the various world religions embellish their own symbolism for this time of year, all are associated with Light and rebirth of Life. Rightly so because as our Earth reaches Winter Solstice (DEC 21) , the Southern most point of the Celestial Cross at the Tropic of Capricorn, we experience the longest night and shortest day (in the northern hemisphere). The very next day is the "birth" of light as the sun appears to turn and move north. It begins to "stay up" ever so slightly longer (about 4 minutes) after it stops [solstice= sol (sun). stice (stasis), so Sun stands still]. To the average person looking at the sunrise and setting, this annual process simply looks like the sun is rising a little bit further south or north of due east each day. More info at www.cosmicshift.homestead.com So imagine the sun in your third eye and you expand to become the solar system, planets revolve around you and you hold earth in between your hands, a golden light shines from the 3rd eye, a blue light from your heart and a red-green light from your eyes. We heal the earth with our thoughts and imagination. Going deeper into Silence, we slow down our thoughts and peace is the result. We feel the Soul World is our true home. It is like I am swimming in an ocean of peace…. nirvana, beyond sound and I am just a seed of light dancing with dolphins, angels and my family od star beings. No worries of the world down below. We are beings of peace, so why not become peace in action with a generous dose of love. Listen to God, really listen….. He is only a thought away and loves you more than you can imagine. We can be at our darkest night, but there is a wonderful Light at the end of the tunnel. You are connected to that Light and He Loves you, now and forever. So smile and be happy! When we feel that Energy, that original peace that has no words, then the heart opens like a flower. You love the true U, a point of light, love each other then God smiles. One smile from God can heal a million broken hearts. Love flows in timeless directions and Peace is my birthright. Your heart is healed and all the past is just a cosmic video. Wisdom is knowing this world is just a stage to express your divinity. When you see that Eternal Light and remember who You really are…then Listening with an open heart becomes a way of life. Listen and be Silent, this can set you free. Many around the world are celebrating Christmas, the memory of the birth of Christ. But it is also a memory of the Christ Consciousness within each one to awaken. Christ came to show God's Love and His Memory will live forever. That Love endures today, but how many of us really Love without expectations. Do you really Love yourself and everyone around you? Can you forgive that one person that caused you pain many years ago or today? Past is past and letting go is great freedom. Somehow your higher self is always showing you back to perfection to God's path of gentleness. This is Love in action. Peace with no reaction. The Christmas Tree is the symbol of the world family tree with all the major religions as branches and a Golden and Silver age as a trunk. God is the Seed of this magical tree and He sent his children Abraham, Christ, Buddha and Mohammad to show the way home. We are a global family and everyone is your brother and sister, so why the fighting? Maybe we have forgotten how to Love, maybe we forgotten who we really are, maybe we have become so lost in the maze and the gifts that God is giving us everyday. These gifts are our true virtues and powers and they are only a thought away. You have them now deep in your soul….Love, Peace, Wisdom, Purity, Power and Happiness. This is what we were and will become again. So there is Hope for the Future, that is the message of the new born child. If Jesus were to appear to you today as a child, would you not feel the innocence that is in your heart? Return to your original nature and be at peace with the world. Don't focus on the war, your imperfection or the past, live in the present and receive God's Presents for you now. He can see your past, present and future and only has the highest thoughts for you, so do the same for others and yourself. The Winter Solstice is a time of magic. In the South it is the Summer Solstice. Its true meaning is the "Sun stands still. " Let you inner sun be still, silent and listen. Look within you and feel the new U coming into being. Who are we really but the ancestor souls, the roots of the tree connected to the Master Seed who awakens the World Tree. These days I have been feeling God's energy on the planet and it is like He is saying, "OK children it is time to create a shift to unify the world through music, art and film. My dream has always been to heal my fellow brothers and sisters with sound, light and color, or wisdom, peace and happiness. When the sound of wisdom, lights our inner peace then happiness is the result. When you see how great you are an Awakening occurs and nothing is the same. In this New Year of 2007 and during these special days of the Solstice and Christmas, listen more to God and your higher self, spend more time being silent and let the love in your heart heal the world. When you heal the world, then you are automatically healed and all your dreams will come true. Use your Heart. I got an email from of Go Gratitude www.ichooselove.org/gratitude.html 'Heartist' is a (k)new word, yet officially in the dictionary, though its meaning is transparent and easily received. Quite simply it is this: One who creates from the heart. Imagine for a moment your favorite song ... Let this melody play within your frame, re-awakening Love, Joy, Grace and Gratitude presently stored as emotion through the power of cellular memory. Take notice of the shift within your being, enjoying being wrapped once again in the bliss of this vibrational messenger. Sri Chimnoy, a well known spiritual teacher, wisely praises the power of song like this: "My heart is all gratitude to music, for it keeps me all the time in touch with my Universal Self." When we intentionally expose our bodies to frequencies resonating with Love and Gratitude, our mind-body-spirit remembers how to pattern itself after perfection ... releasing a spirited mix of kundalini cocktails to relax, rejuvenate and re-(k)new our earthly being-ness. Flow like a river of love returning to the Ocean and feel the Magic of being a Master, a seed of light creating heaven on earth. The Supreme Being, the Light of the World is with you, so why not share that light with the world. You are powerful beyond measure. We are the ones the world is waiting for. Open the Heart and let the Light shine thru. Much love and blessings, Lucho L Condor See my you tube site, www.youtube.com/tribalinknews

Energy, Time & Pluto

lcondor — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 06:17:17 GMT

Dear Future Golden Aged Souls of Light, Hope everyone is well and in tune with the inner fire. These past few days have given me a chance to reflect on Energy, Pluto and Time. Energy- the soul in action creating pure thoughts to affect change, Time changes and soul awakens. All is energy in motion creating time vortexes. Pluto- Great transformer, God of the Dead. From Greek Ploutn, from ploutos, wealth (belief that the underworld was the source of wealth from the ground) True spiritual wealth is knowledge, underground - hidden. Pluto also is Plutonium- a radioactive, metallic chemical element. It has the symbol Pu and the atomic number 94. It is the element used in most modern nuclear weapons. Would not the God of the Dead, use radioactive energy to transform humankind back to gods and goddess? More on that later.... Time- We are Time. My awareness is my soul, spiritual clock. I-Light, eternal spark of creation, the soul move time as we move through space and time, if we are not moving or dead...energy or time would stop. You would step out of this time and enter timeless time or maybe come back into time and another birth. If you can slow your thoughts you can slow time. This past week I saw a Discovery program where astronomers now see a black hole in the center of ever galaxy. Imagine that a doorway to another world or a time vortex. See news from Space.com http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/blackhole_history_030128-1.html So what will happen when Pluto crosses the Galactic Center? I see a pulse of magnetic UV light that will awaken humanity to a new awareness. We will be able to see the Golden Age dawn before us and understand we were gods and goddess all along... Changes are here...be a Master of Time and move Energy to heal the World. Much love, Lucho ========= Consider the Whole Sky. The word "consider" comes from root words literally meaning "examine the stars." In examining the stars and all of Creation, Whole Sky astrology provides the baseline of astrology for the 21st Century and beyond. This view of the Universe allows for examination and understanding of objects outside the confines of our solar system, and is not confined to a narrow plane of sight. Like it or not, objects in space profoundly affect us. Our Sun involuntarily revolves around the Galactic Center, much like the Earth does around the Sun. Our Galaxy rotates around another nucleus of thirty-odd galaxies, the Super Galactic Center. All this draws toward an enigmatic point known as the Great Attractor. The relationship of Earth to all these points (and everything else in Creation) remains undeniable. Other objects bombard us with high energy beams that dramatically impact the energy system of the body. Understanding what is out there and how it affects us connects us more to the point of Galactic Origin, enables an understanding of the "vibes" we feel, offers a deeper understanding of our psychological constitution, assists us in coping with the real world, and above all, opens the door for a clearer spiritual belief system. www.philipsedgwick.com Pluto, the Galactic Center and Enlightenment http://www.starpriestess.com/articles_pluto.html (published December 1, 2005) "This era exceeds, for physical, symbolic and enlightenment purposes, the significance of the expiration of the Mayan Calendar." - Philip Sedgwick In 2006 and 2007, Pluto will align with the Galactic Center three times, ushering in an unprecedented period of cosmic awareness and healing. This passage will also be marked by chaos and turmoil. Pluto's conjunction with the Galactic Center occurs only once every 248 years. While some astrologers report Pluto as conjunct the exact center of our galaxy earlier in the year, the alignments are actually in late December 2006 and again in July and October of 2007. Because of Pluto's proximity to the degree of the Galactic Center (26'55" Sagittarius) throughout 2006, we will feel the effects all year. How each of us experiences this transit will depend on our consciousness. Pluto is the spiritual plunger of the solar system, forcing us to face issues submerged in the unconscious that hold us back from our highest expression of divinity. The Galactic Center is a black hole around which our Sun and other planetary systems revolve. The nature of black holes, and Pluto, is annihilation. Pluto's passage over the Galactic Center will accelerate the natural process the Hopi refer to as the Great Purification. As a transpersonal planet, Pluto influences the collective consciousness as well as the individual. Watch for political upheaval, revolution and chaos, as well as Earth changes that restore balance to human systems and the natural world. In December 2005, we're put on notice. This is the time for Lightworkers to heal spiritual, mental, emotional and physical imbalances in preparation for the changes to come in 2006 and beyond. A crescendo of emotional release and fulfillment culminates in the Gemini Full Moon on December 15. Between now and then, our priority is to acknowledge and release patterns from our past that will not be carried into the new cycle. Key issues for Lightworkers during this phase include: - Self-esteem not cultivated in childhood must be nurtured now in order to achieve greater expressions of creativity and leadership. - Ego imbalances will be corrected. As you recognize and heal issues of low self-esteem and create a unique, individuated identity, check in often to be sure you're operating from essence, not ego. - Patterns of codependency must be released. Healing codependent patterns requires periods of solitude to develop right relationship with self and Source, which eventually leads to healthy relationships with others. - Addictions of all kinds - to substances, relationships, activities, even feelings - are obstacles to soul growth and need to be released. - Recognize and rewrite thoughts and beliefs that hinder your experience of yourself as Infinite Divine Light. - Heal the illusion of separation that stems from "original separation" when your soul individuated and descended from Source to experience growth through human experience. On the path of healing these karmic issues, we encounter many forms of resistance. Emotional outbursts, rage, hysteria, anxiety, depression, illness, accidents, body aches, digestive problems, allergies, acute pain and injuries, chemical and other dependencies are some of the experiences we create as we begin to break away from past patterns. As we grow in awareness, we begin to welcome these challenges as confirmation that we're making progress! Meanwhile, strategies that will help you through the changes include… - Daily meditation. Twice a day, at least 15 minutes each time, will help you ground, center, reconnect with Source, and integrate the changes on all levels. - Develop a support network with others on the path of mastery. Release non-supportive relationships that attempt to hold you in past patterns. - Set clear intentions and express them in ceremony, prayer, poem, dance, song and/or art. - Explore transformational healing tools including energy and bodywork, essential oils, flower essences and sacred sound. Many astrologers have been writing and speaking about Pluto's alignment with the Galactic Center in 2006-2007. Some presentations are fear-based, some hopeful. While the effects of these conjunctions will be dramatic and far-reaching, they'll serve to strengthen and unify us as the shift to higher consciousness intensifies. http://www.starpriestess.com/articles_pluto.html As the World Shifts (published December 1, 2005) If you thought the past few years were exhilarating, exhausting and exuberant, wait till you see what's ahead. The countdown to the Golden Age is on. As vast cycles of cosmic time come to a close, new and wondrous cycles are beginning. We live in the transition period, the Shift of the Ages. The Mayan calendar teaches that the evolution of consciousness is accelerating. There's a 25-year window from the Harmonic Convergence in August 1987 through the end of the Mayan Calendar in 2012. During this period, special planetary alignments guide us in an accelerated learning lab. The Grand Fixed Cross Solar Eclipse on August 11, 1999, catalyzed a mass spiritual awakening. This signpost in the heavens was a turning point, a wake-up call for Lightworkers to move more fully into their path of service. In 2001 and 2002, Saturn and Pluto faced off with three exact oppositions that reshaped our world. Most memorably, the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., occurred between the dates of the first two oppositions in 2001. By 2003, planetary servers had expanded their base of experience, and on November 8/9, 2003, solidified their commitment as six planets created an elegant Star of David/Merkabah pattern in the sky. This alignment, known as the Harmonic Concordance, opened a portal of divine consciousness and called us to a deeper level of union and service. Last year, Venus danced with Pluto and crossed the face of the Sun in the historic Transit of Venus, transforming our ideals of love and abundance. At the end of 2005, we stand at the threshold of a major new passage, the conjunction of Pluto, God of the Underworld, with the very center of our galaxy. The Galactic Center is a place of mystery and awe. From the black hole at its center, entire worlds are obliterated, or formed. Pluto's conjunction with the Galactic Center in 2006-2007 is at least as important as the ending of the Mayan Calendar just seven years from now. Pluto roots out spiritual sludge and brings to light issues held deep within the subconscious. The effects of this transit will be felt individually, collectively and throughout the cosmos. The Pluto alignment offers a gift of profound healing, potential enlightenment, new levels of service. On this Sagittarius New Moon, may we aim like the archer for the stars as we prepare for the next round of transformation. I am rebirth Let me dance you to death Let me dance you to life Will you walk through your fears to dance with me? - The Goddess Kali Over the next 18 months, the transformation of consciousness on planet Earth will take a quantum leap. As we stand at the threshold of this cosmic opportunity, we have a simple choice – to be guided and empowered by love, or to allow fear to squelch our divine, creative potential.

Day of Thanks & God's Descent

lcondor — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 18:40:31 GMT

First a special Happy Thanksgiving and a may all our blessings be counted today. Many years ago some pilgrims came to a new world and it was not easy. They had to begin everything anew and left behind family and friends. We look up to God and say Thanks for all He has given us. Now it is a national holiday and turkey is on most peoples mind. But when I think about given thanks to God, my mind goes back 20 years when I first had an experience of God as Light. My life at that time was a mess and now 20 years later I knew God had a plan for me. Not always clear at the beginning, but I had faith and knew we lived in times of change. There is so much I have written in the past few years that I could fill a couple books. I write first for myself and as a way of documenting my thoughts and just for the joy of putting things in digital. Sometime I write and wonder who is really writing. I see myself as an instrument for God and sometimes we just have to say what is on our mind. These past few days I have been thinking about the descent of God to Earth. So many people have had experiences of God in the past and He has promised that one day He will return. Today I had an email exchange with a fellow Raja Yogi and we were discussing this topic. Why have fear in telling your friends the truth about God and how He comes. Sooner or later each soul will understand and Truth will stand by itself. When I teach the Raja Yoga Course, I am very clear and honest. My job is simple, to present the truth about you the soul, God’s role as the Teacher and Loving Father and the time we are in, a Confluence Age, an end of a cycle and a new World to come. In the Gita it says, God Speaks... But how does he speak? Can it be true that God comes to earth like a thief in the night and teaches the souls that will be instruments to create a new world? In India we see images of Krishna playing a flute or Murli, (Hindi for flute). All the gopes and gopis, lovers of God come running to hear the music of Krishna. What if I told you I have met the soul who is the reincarnation of Krishna. You many not believe it, but for me it is my truth. Reading the murli’s and going to Mt Abu to experience God first hand has been my saving grace. So my question, when do I tell the world the truth of what I know? What if I told you that for the past 20 years, I have had a personal experience with God? He has changed my life in ways you would never imagine. Just ask my parents. They say if it wasn’t for the Brahma Kumaris, I would be dead. That is the truth. So let’s go back to the Bible. The last of the 66 books in the Bible, the Revelation, speaks about the end of the world and Judgment Day where humans have to do their reckoning, after which they will go to Paradise or Hell. For me- this is world is Hell and Heaven is something we create now with our pure thoughts. In a cycle of time, we return to perfection. As is the past will become the future, and the future will become the past. Time is eternal, as we souls are eternal. Energy is in constant change it can never be created or destroyed. We are spiritual energy. In my studies of Raja Yoga we teach time is reaching a climax. Just look at the situation of the world, so many wars, nature out of balance and the threat of a nuclear explosion very real. Just see what the military is planning. Read more at Global Research. Is the Bush Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust? Will the US launch "Mini-nukes" against Iran in Retaliation for Tehran's "Non-compliance"? by Michel Chossudovsky http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=20060222&articleId=2032 The new nuclear doctrine, however, goes beyond preemptive acts of "self-defense", it calls for "anticipatory action" using nuclear weapons against a "rogue enemy" which allegedly plans to develop WMD at some undefined future date: Responsible security planning requires preparation for threats that are possible, though perhaps unlikely today. The lessons of military history remain clear: unpredictable, irrational conflicts occur. Military forces must prepare to counter weapons and capabilities that exist or will exist in the near term even if no immediate likely scenarios for war are at hand. To maximize deterrence of WMD use, it is essential US forces prepare to use nuclear weapons effectively and that US forces are determined to employ nuclear weapons if necessary to prevent or retaliate against WMD use. Nukes would serve to prevent a non-existent WMD program (e.g. Iran) prior to its development. This twisted formulation goes far beyond the premises of the 2001 Nuclear Posture Review and NPSD 17. which state that the US can retaliate with nuclear weapons if attacked with WMD. --End Quote-- So if you were a prophet and have seen the future what would you do? The big question on everyone’s mind is when, what date. God can not tell us when the war will begin, but He does give warning signals. I have been getting these signals and as a writer, I put it down in digital. This is my life story. Only once in the whole cycle do you get to experience a direct relationship with God. He gives you a pen and says, write your whole story, a story of the angels, the deities and the Brahmin family, a story of you and me. We create our whole future now, by the love we share, the wisdom we acquire, the purity of the soul and the service we do. Jesus himself once said "Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" (Matthew 16:28). I have always thought about the quote in the Bible where God says He will come like a thief in the night and very few will recognize him. .. Joel 2:1-9: ..for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;[...] they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. " .. Matthew 24:43: "But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up." .. Revelation 3:3: If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee." .. Revelation 16:15: "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth [...]" .. 1st. Thessalonians 5:2: "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night". Do I want any of my friends to say to me, hey Lucho, Prakash you never told me God was teaching you. Well now you know and the descent of God is for all to question. So I did a search on Google and put ..Descent of God.. This came up. | BrahmaKumaris ||- The Seat of Highest Universal Learning The Divine Descent of God. Once Dada was sitting in a satsang (spiritual gathering) which he had arranged in honor of his guru. ... www.brahmakumaris.com/aboutus/descentofgod.htm - 1 History The Divine Descent of God Once Dada was sitting in a satsang (spiritual gathering) which he had arranged in honor of his guru. In between he got up and went to his room, which he had never done in his life, for it was a sign of disrespect. The following is the description of one of the persons who had the good fortune of being there. ..The eyes of Dada had become completely red, as if a red light was glowing inside him. His whole face had become red, and even the room was now illumined, with reddish, otherworldly glow. And something began to happen inside me too! I felt bodiless! How can I describe it? I was there and yet I wasn’t. I was simply light. My mind felt clearer than it ever had been. I heard a sound from above. It was as if through the mouth of Dada, Someone else was speaking! That voice was so very quiet at first, then it grew louder and louder. It was stunning, not frightening, but simply awe-inspiring. The voice spoke thus: Nijanand Rupam Shivoham Shivoham Gyan Swarupam Shivoham Shivoham Prakash Swarupam Shivoham Shivoham Nijanand Swarup, Gyan Swarup, Prakash Swarup Translation: I am the Blissful Self, I am Shiva; I am Shiva ... I am the Knowledgeful Self, I am Shiva; I am Shiva .. I am the Luminous Self, I am Shiva; I am Shiva .. I am the Form of Self, the Form of Knowledge, the Form of Light. To this day, I cannot forget that voice, nor that scene. The atmosphere was electric, more than realm and my condition of feeling as if without a body is still alive in my memory. As soon as Dada opened his eyes, he started looking around with great wonder. Whatever he had seen had jolted to the core of his being. During that time, Dada saw tremendous Light and Power which told, “You have to make such a world.” And he had the vision of an altogether new world. But he did not know how that world was to be made. How shall he be able to make such a world? Dada fell into deep, deep thought. He immersed himself in the work of solving the mystery of this unparalleled event. ..Who was that? What kind of power could give him such visions, such knowledge, such self-realization? Gradually he unraveled the logic and the implications of it all; the secret was unveiled to his astounded intellect. Based on our real life experiences we clearly know that it was God, the Supreme Soul, Shiva, Himself, had entered into his body. It was God who had revealed the truth about the coming destruction, and of the establishment of the heavenly world which would then follow. And it was God Himself who had given the sign that he, Dada, was to be His medium and the engine for creating such a divine world. I have seen this world to come in visions and dreams. It is very real and my own personal experience. You may not accept all I have to say, but the important thing is to have an unlimited mind and open heart. So there you have it, the first in a series of articles about God’s Descent on Earth. I give thanks for the chance to reveal an open secret... Many blessings, much love and Happy Thanks Giving, Lucho ~ Prakash see this You Tube site-- www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSeCzsnrulQ

Kogi Message of Peace

lcondor — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 20:11:46 GMT

The KOGI, Lost Tribe with a Message of Peace By Luis Mejia (L CONDOR) Around 20 years ago I saw an amazing video called from the “Heart of the World.” It was about a unique Indigenous community that lived in Northern Colombia who say they are keeping the world in balance. I was so impressed because they are still living with the same spiritual values and traditions of their ancestors, but the ecological warning the Kogi’s shared touched a nerve. I was born in Bogota, Colombia in 1959 and came to the US in 1960, so I never had a chance to really understand my roots and my Colombian heritage. When I saw how the Kogi lived I was determined to find a way to meet them. The only problem was they don’t like tourists and getting into their land is very difficult, not to mention that today there is para-military control, a FRAC guerrillas army that has riches beyond description and senseless killing. 40 year civil war that has no end in sight. In May 1995 I moved to Brazil to work for Ford Motor Company to promote an internal communications campaign called Ford 2000 in Latin America. Then I spent 1 year at the World Headquarters in Detroit working in the International Public Affairs covering Asia, India and Latin America. Life was good but deep down I had a need to understand my roots. In April of 1997, I went to Colombia on a business trip and met some people who had just returned from the Sierra Nevada where the Kogi live. I was having major synchronicities about the Kogi and my heart kept feeling I needed to find a way to communicate with them. In June of 1997 a lifelong dream came true for me. I had just took a leave of absence from my job at Ford and decided to go to an Indigenous conference in the Amazon region of Colombia. It was called the “2nd International Gathering of Priest and Elders of the Americas.” When I arrived I started helping with the logistics of the conference. We were expecting about 300 elders from more than 13 countries. That event changed my life and I made a promise to my Kogi brothers that one day I would return and help them out. I have been back to the sacred mountain 7 times and each time the situation gets mote intense. This past summer ( April-Sept 2006) I have been living in Bogota planning the final details of the Kogi film and media campaign. I had a chance to go to the Sierra and meet the elders in charge and understand th real needs of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the people suffering there. The campaign will have 3 key objectives: * To raise awareness of the critical situation the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is in and the humanitarian crisis of the Native Peoples including the Kogi, Arhuaco and Wiwa. * Bring medical supplies and smiles to Children and Hospitals in Santa Marta and Bogota. Partnership with Airline Ambassadors www.airlineamb.org Create Music 4 Peace- Concert for Harmony, Funds raised go to buy land and communications equipment --Juanes, Carlos Vives, Santana will be invited. Partnership with Daniel Pearl Foundation, Harmony for Humanity www.danielpearl.org The civil and drug war going on in Colombia right now has taken a toll on the native population and people are being killed without justice and deep fear. The Kogi and all the tribes in the Sierra are asking for help and the time has come to hear the call. A little history ….. More than 500 years ago the Kogi fled high into a sacred mountain in Northern Colombia called the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Spanish had arrived and the message was not good. They believe the Sierra Nevada to be the “Mother” and the “Heart of the World.” The Sierra Nevada, in the shape of a pyramid is where the Andes chain begins or ends, depending on your perspective. If you look at the Andes, the Sierra is the crown chakra or top most part of South America. It is like a spinal column and the sacred mountain is the 3 eye. The Kogi are unique among the world’s Indigenous cultures because they were never conquered by the Spaniards. They are said to have memory of the beginning of time and remember the rampage the conquistadors brought to their region in 1498. In 1988 the Kogi allowed a BBC journalist Alain Ereira to film a documentary about their culture. This was a historic event. No western journalists have been allowed to return and the Kogi remained silent observing the ecological destruction they have seen from their mountain-top. Very few Colombians dare enter into their territory and few know they exist. In June of 1997, I was invited to visit the Kogi. This created a bond of friendship and trust. They are now ready to share their next warning and message to the “Younger Brother.” We are the “Younger Brother” who are destroying the Earth and causing an ecological imbalance that may affect future generations to come. Who are they? The Kogi are the direct descendants of the Tayrona civilization. The Tayrona culture flourished in Northern Colombia around 1,000 AD. They left behind stunning gold artwork, stone and pottery artifacts and an amazing network of brick roads covering the Sierra Nevada. Kogi society has changed little in the past five centuries. They survived as a culture because the Kogi focus all their energy on the life of the mind as opposed to the life of a body or an individual. Fundamental to that survival is the maintenance of physical separation from their world and our own. The Kogi do not allow anyone into their land. They are very protective of their sacred space and the dense jungle is not kind to tourists. As of 2006, it is estimated there are 12,000 Kogi’s left. Where do they live? The Kogi live in the higher regions of the Sierra Nevada. Many self-sustaining communities are on the Western part of the Mountain accessible through Valledupar, which is located in the State of Cesar. The Sierra Nevada is the highest coastal mountain in the world only 26 miles from the beach. It is located near the Equator, which means it has no seasons. Day and night are of equal length all year round. It has every eco-system in its 17,000 km2 area. The highest peek is the Pico Simon Bolivar at 5,775 mtrs. So in this mountain area all the eco-systems of earth are present creating a mini earth. From the sea the mountain goes straight to snow capped peaks. Why are they unique? The Kogi represent the most complete surviving civilization of pre-Columbian America. They are not hunter-gatherers or a wondering tribe. They are a nation whose fields have been continuously cultivated for more than a thousand years. The Kogi believe they are the “Elder Brothers,” the guardians of life on Earth. Through their mind power and meditation they keep the world in balance. They live in “Aluna,” an inner world of thought and potential. They are now concerned because their Mountain is dying. Everything about their history and religion is passed down through oral instructions and their lives are run by the spiritual leaders or Shamans named “Mamas.” The Kogi Mamas are chosen from birth and spend the first nine years of childhood in a cave in total darkness learning the ancient secrets of the spiritual world or Aluna. They are the priests and judges who control Kogi society. All major decisions and shamanic work is done by Divination. All is the world of Aluna, so the Mamas see a reflection of the physical world first in the spiritual world. If Aluna is the Mother, then the Kogi listen to the Mother by divining. This lost technique of divination is what keeps the Kogi world in balance and order. The Mamas are worried that the “Younger Brother” has not heeded the first warning. If the Sierra Nevada or the Mother dies, the world will also die. Of unique importance is that the Kogi are a peaceful tribe that have never killed one of their own and rarely intermarry. They never grow gray hair and have no facial hair. They can spend 9 days awake without sleep during their ceremonial rites. They are now beginning to learn Spanish because they realize the importance of communicating with the outside world. They also need to understand the Colombian Government’s laws regarding the Sierra Nevada, which was named a Historical Heritage by UNESCO and a National Park by the Colombian Government. This past Oct, 2006 we formed an alliance with the UNPD in Bogota and will be helping raise funds and awareness for a campaign to buy their sacred land back. The Kogi have a lot to teach us. Are we ready to listen? More info on our web at www.tribalink.org

Ray of Light, U the Pulse is Coming

lcondor — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 07:15:57 GMT

Dear Family of Light, Many of you have felt the energy of Mother Gaia for some time and She moves in a Universe in ways we don't understand. Just see what happened in Hawaii and North Korea with Nuclear test, a couple days latter earthquake in Japan. Each bomb we set off affects our planet and it is like she is full of holes and negative energy. Each solider that dies in war leaves a vortex-fear-based hole in that spot. This is why nature is so off balance. We have inner bombs of anger and negative energy that come from within. These emotional bombs need to heal and know our thoughts affect the Earth and every soul living in present time. Imagine if you are the Roots of the Human World Tree, your Emotions, Energy in Motion~> of love and peace go up the trunk and to each branch or religion of this magical living tree affecting each leaf, each soul of the Tree of Life. All your brothers and sisters around the world are affected by what we think ---positive or negative....So please take time to change your thoughts and change your world. So what is going on? What does all this mumbo jumbo really mean? I had a dream where I saw this UV pulse beam of Light coming into the earth. This Ray of Light was a blue -green frequency, vibrating aqua and gold and it was a part of my future higher self coming to activate me in present time. Imagine if your 1st Birth on Earth was one of Pure Love, a frequency of Peace, Bliss, Harmony and Purity. Your aura at that time is the same color of this pulse beam and every thought you create, becomes reality in 1 second. In the Golden Age to come, we are all living in a frequency of Love. Pure and Simple, Love is the greatest Healer and what is most needed now. Love yourself, with all the imperfections, but knowing that you are a seed of Pure Perfect Light praying to come out. Love God, this is the Key to Happiness, Peace and Protection. In a world at War, my love for God becomes a service 4 others and a protection from the negative souls that are in darkness. Love your family and enemies. Enemies are just karma unresolved, Ego in the way and Love waiting 2 heal. Loving all souls on the Tree of Life brings a frequency of lightness and counteracts on the negative forces. Love Nature, She is in pain and suffering. Send good wishes to the Ocean, the Mountains and our Mother, she will reward U in ways unknown. What will we do when a super volcano explodes and the world goes in darkness for 3 days...All the past thoughts of love for Nature will keep U safe. Never Fear what U don't understand just tune to the Supreme Light and all will be answered. God is only a Thought Away and He ~ She Loves U! This is the magic of the Future coming to remind us of limited time. We are still in the Vortex of the Eclipses of this past Sept and in Nov will have a Mercury Transit. The Sun is changing frequency and so are U. Your Past and Future Light Pulse comes to say, Wake Up!! We are in a time to move the negative energy out of our lives and let the Real U come into full glory. We can use these days to be still, Listen and be Silent. The Real U the Seed of Pure Light is coming into Earth with a Quickening. Remember, You are a Soul. Light that is Eternal. Un-destructible and never created. U have always been and will be again. Nothing is new under the sun...we have seen this all before. As is my past will be my future and in my present I create my Perfection. The World is like a cosmic video in the Mind of God. Light on Film, we create what is in our minds. God as our Mother says, see the perfect seed under the tree and connected with the Master Seed. See the Angel within and know that God will not give U a test U can not conquer. Love conquers all. A Ray of Light, U the Pulse is Coming! From the Heart, Lucho MIAMI SPECIAL INVITE FOR SUNRISE MEDITATION Tues the 17 aT 46 and Collins from 6:30 am - 8 am and drumming 9 pm same place. my cel 786 663 4626 see more info below...a bit long but worth the read...

This is the beginning, one of many trigger events to come between now and 2013. An ultraviolet (UV) pulse beam radiating from higher dimensions in Universe-2 will cross paths with the Earth on this day. Earth will remain within this UV beam for approximately 17 hours of your time. This beam resonates with the heart chakra; it is radiant fluorescent in nature, blue/magenta in color. Although it resonates in this frequency band, it is above the color frequency spectrum of your Universe- 1 which you, Earth, articulate in. We call this UV beam trigger event the "818" gateway. Due to the nature of your soul and soul groups operating from Universe-2 frequency bands, it will have an effect. The effect is that every thought and emotion will be amplified intensely one million-fold. Yes, we will repeat, all will be amplified one million times and more. Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it is good, bad, ill, positive, or negative, will be amplified one million times in strength. What does this mean? Since all matter that manifests is due to your thoughts, i.e. what you focus on, this beam will accelerate these thoughts and solidify them at an accelerated rate, making them manifest a million times faster than they normally would. For those that do not comprehend: Your thoughts, what you focus upon, create your reality. This UV beam thus can be a dangerous tool. For if you are focused on negative thoughts, they will manifest into your reality almost instantly. But this UV beam can be a gift, if you choose it to be. Mission 1017 requires approximately one million people to focus on positive, benign, good- willed thoughts for themselves, and, the Earth and Humanity on this day. Your thoughts can be of any nature of your choosing, but remember that whatever you focus on will be made manifest in a relatively faster than anticipated time frame. To some the occurrences may almost be bordering on the miraculous. All we ask is that positive thoughts of love, prosperity, healing, wealth, kindness, and gratitude be focused on. This UV beam will come into full effect for 17 hours on the 17th of October 2006. No matter what time zone you are in, the hours are approximately 10:17A.M. on the 17th of October to 1:17 A.M. on October 18th. The peak time will be 17:10 (5:10 P.M.) on October 17th. While you do not need to be in a meditative state throughout this time, it would be beneficial. Perhaps at the peak time it would be well if you can find a peaceful spot or location to focus your thoughts and energies. The optimal place is out in the vicinity of grounded nature, such as near a large tree or next to the ocean waves. Focus on whatever it is you desire. What is required for the benefit of all Earth and Humanity are positive thoughts of a loving nature. Please forward this message to as many people as possible who you know will use this cosmic trigger event to focus on positive, good-willed thoughts. At least 1 million people across the globe are needed to actively participate in this event to measurably raise the vibration of the planet and to trigger a shift for humanity from separation and fragmentation to unification and oneness. This is your opportunity to take back what is rightfully yours - Peace and Prosperity - for all the Earth and Humankind. This is a gift, a lifeline from your universe, so to speak, an answer to your prayers. However, what you do with it and whether or not you participate is your choice. Watch your thoughts, they become your words... Watch your words, they become your actions... Watch your actions, they become your habits... Watch your habits, they become your character... Watch your character, it becomes your destiny! Manifesting (Y)Our Destiny by Flesymi Manifesting is the making expressed or visible that which is implied or invisible. How do we manifest our collective destiny, while simultaneously involved in a personal one, when everyone seems to be heading in different directions? To make matters more challenging, some people see their destiny along a predetermined course of events, while others see it as a hopeless struggle against forces that bring sadness, pain, fear and despair. Yet another potent group see their destiny as inseparable from the human species' ability to manifest higher possibilities of a greater pattern or design, which some call G-d , Cosmic Consciousness, Infinite Presence, Christ, Buddha, the Messiah, etc. How do we co-create a collective destiny that is aligned with our greatest potential? The answer appears too complex on the surface; yet, there is a simple way...a very powerful way. The way out of this paradox and confusion is as simple as 2 X 2 = 4. The recognition of this simple way is closer than your own breath, nearer and dearer than your own heart. And it costs you nothing. It is as obvious as the fact that 2 X 2 always equaled 4; it didn't wait until we recognized it for it to be true. But while this way is simple, it is not easy. It is not easy because we have for so long looked in the opposite direction and have locked our attention on the problem instead of the solution. It is time to change our attention. It is time to change our minds about our world. Destiny is a matter of choice, not about predetermination. Destiny is about choosing which patterns and structures out of the infinite possibilities in us and before us we shall draw out and make expressed. Destiny is the power or agency that determines the course of events, and that power is us! It is our divine privilege to choose and to consciously evolve. Descartes once remarked, "Cogito, ergo sum," I think, therefore I am. I prefer the affirmation offered by Professor Amit Goswami in his book, "The Self-Aware Universe ." Professor Goswami offers, "Opto, ergo sum," I choose, therefore I am. Yet the power is not in the choice. The power is not in the pattern, or the in object of the choice. When I say, "I choose therefore I am," it is the "I AM" that is the power. I AM is the source, the idea and the fulfillment of the idea. When we say I AM we are engaging the power to effect whatever follows it. I AM broke. I AM hungry. I AM tired. I AM lonely. I AM afraid. I AM hateful. Or I AM love. I AM abundant. I AM whole. I AM nourished. I AM peace. I AM nurturing. I AM courageous. I AM powerful. I AM creative. Look at your life now and see if what you find there is not a perfect mirror of with what you follow "I am..."; make a list and you'll be surprised. Now look at our world and see that it also reflects our collective vision of "I am..." The principle is unfailing because we unwittingly engage the power that creates our realities when we affirm whatever follows I AM. This is how it is closer and dearer than our own breath and heart. I AM is the clearest, least distorted statement in the human language that expresses the Infinite Presence that infuses all matter of being in the universe. I AM is our quintessential nature and our nature fulfilled. Our reality, individually and collectively, is an out picturing of how we see ourselves, how we follow the powerful statement, "I am..." Of course another word attempts this feat, "God"; but how can we fit something that is infinite into a limited concept. The word "God" is a concept, a limited linguistic expression of that which is infinite. The word "God" has been used immaturely and to create boundaries instead of union. In the name of "God" more violence and blood has been shed than any other single cause in the history of humankind. We can forgive our past transgressions and move on to more fulfilling, productive destinies when we return to "God" as an infinite Presence that unites us, rather than as a concept that divides us. This is what was revealed to Moses as "God's" name: "I Am That I Am"; it is a profound and eternal message of Truth. This is what is revealed to us today through a confluence of religion, science, technology and an exciting global awakening: I AM This is who I AM This is Now Now is This This is That That is This This is Here So is That This is All That there Is This is So That I AM It sounds too simple, I know. Yet I AM describes the entire universe from beginning to end. It describes all the mathematics of motion, position, probability, relationship and change within the universe. It describes pairs of opposites across all levels of existence, from the positive and negative subatomic forces, to the love and fear of man and woman for themselves and each other. It describes our greatest dreams and our darkest nightmares. It describes all that we can become; it describes all that we can destroy. It describes all these things because it points to something that is infinite, the Truth of which can only be experienced, not discussed, measured or taught. Our challenge is to "follow the finger that points the way instead of sucking it," as Alan Watts proposed that Christianity do in relationship to Jesus Christ. We must seek the experience of Truth in all our activities instead of using concepts of Truth as pacifiers. We must live the Truth we know if we are to know the freedom we seek. If you were infinite and someone asked your name, how could you answer in any other way that would reveal your infinitude? The mighty utterance "I AM" is a superb feat of infinite, impeccable logic because "I am..." can be followed by an infinite list of attributes and relationships, and thus, allows for infinite progression of expression. Saying I AM in the genuineness of its true meaning allows us instantly to transcend the perceptual limits of time and space and manifest a destiny promised by our innate affinity for infinity . When we say I AM with the recognition that we are calling into action the Presence that creates stars, and with the recognition that we are one with that Presence, and with the recognition that we are individual expressions of that Presence, then we in that moment transcend all that separates us from our own infinite Essence. This is how we co-create desirable and mutually fulfilling futures. We must awaken to the fact that we are divine in nature and are unified within that divine essence, and celebrate that divinity in all life. This awakening allows us to become conscious of our abilities to co-create with the I AM Presence. This is our charter if we expect to advance to the next level of human evolution. This is the simple way to manifest a collective destiny because here all struggle ceases and life becomes enjoyment of experience rather than lessons to be learned. We do not need more lessons once we accept our place as heirs to an Infinite Throne instead of begging for crumbs outside the kingdom. If G-d, the I AM Presence, is infinite and all-knowing, what could there possibly be for G-d to learn through us? If we are individual expressions of that Presence, why would we be created to learn a lesson when G-d already knows everything there is to learn? The struggling that goes with an ego-limited life lived to learn lessons and satisfy lower desires is what creates confusion and suffering. We live to experience, we live to express, and we have lessons because it is our nature to learn from our experiences, not visa versa. The growth we see as evolution, personally and collectively, is merely the unfolding of that which is infinitely enfolded, like the perennial blossoming of the fragile rose in the dancing and eternal light of spring. The Divine Idea, "ROSE," exists in the Cosmic Mind as a necessary antecedent to the physical manifestation of the rose. The Consciousness of "ROSE" and a Living Energy is what animates the rose that we enjoy with our senses, and we know the Truth of it by our experience of it in the now. Is there any other way to truly know a rose? Understanding creation in this way answers the befuddling riddle: what came first, the chicken or the egg? Ultimately, the only way to truly experience reality and leave "lessons" behind is to use I AM in wholesome ways and to consciously affirm with our thoughts, feelings, words and actions that which we want revealed in our world collectively. This desire must come from a higher place than our own self-centered concerns. This is how we can co-create with the knowledge and responsibility that we owe our Source and owe our six billion other soul mates with which we have incarnated now. Done with the humble recognition that "I AM" this Presence, by virtue of our Divine essence, and because everything is this Presence, we naturally tap into the Source that is inherently harmonious within Itself. If this were not the case, the universe would have extinguished itself long ago. When we access this aspect of our own higher potential, we co-create without trepidation, and thus more powerfully. We don't waver because we know that we are co-creating a world where everyone is abundantly free and expressing his or her divine gifts freely. Think of anything you want in a fulfilled life, anything: abundance, love, peace, security, adventure, joy, perfect health, spontaneity or creativity. Who wouldn't want a life of these things? The Force that lies back of all form and function naturally fosters these things because they are aspects of Its own Identity. We have only to align with these aspects collectively and affirm them with our life force - our thoughts, feelings and actions - and they will be in our experience "in the blink of an eye." We must always remember that reality is plastic and fluid. The universe instantly reflects back to us whatever we are projecting by our own minds and beliefs. Consider that "mind" is a projector that uses reality as a screen upon which to project its own version of things. It projects its own fears, beliefs, conditioning, likes, dislikes, attitudes, concepts and models onto reality, then confuses this motion picture with reality itself. If we choose to distort the out picturing of our nature by holding fear and lack in our hearts and minds, then we will experience realities that reflect these distortions. Instead, we can allow our true nature to shine and see that brilliance reflected to our senses. It should be self-evident that reality is infinitely moldable to the life that animates it. Can you not see this in the world about you, both natural and manmade? War and violence exist because these things are in the hearts and minds of humankind. Peace will reign when peace finds a lasting abode in our hearts and minds. If things appear rigid and inflexible it is our own rigid, false sense of identity that is rigid, and what we observe in our daily life is merely a reflection of that stiff, narrow sense of self. We experience this seeming insidious reflection of our lower nature so that we may know our greatness by contrast. What we need to evolve beyond our current level is a broader sense of self...a living, breathing recognition that we are part of a larger Being in whom our complete fulfillment lies...but we are it...not separate form it. We only need to nurture the complete and collective consciousness of this Truth in order to see it manifest in our experience. The beginning of this experience is the moving from self-centered consciousness to whole-centered consciousness. Herein lies the promise of the ages: paradise on earth. Simple mathematics can prove that if we concern ourselves with everyone else as well as ourselves then we can have orders of magnitude more of everything. It is the mathematics of a utopian economy: You live in a world where only you are concerned about you; therefore, you have only one person on your side. On the other hand, if you lived in a place where six billion people were concerned about you, but you and everyone else concerned themselves with the fulfillment of everyone else, then you would have six billion people interested in your welfare, and so would everyone else! Which would you rather have? Which world would be more likely to foster the manifestation of that which is (y)our highest potential...(y)our destiny? This is the "secret" to manifesting a collective destiny where everyone is fulfilled and where we experience abundance in all areas of life. But how do we get there from here? How do we alter this in a world that seems bent on fearful, destructive, self-serving motives and activities? We start in our own hearts and minds. We as individuals must affirm with our deepest feeling nature the I AM Presence every moment and commit to living and being now as we would in a world that already expresses a higher potential. Is there anything that is stopping us right this instant but our own forgotten choice to act out of fear instead of love? Will it ever become a reality until we do? What are we waiting for? Be It NOW! If we are to act as a collective - act as the one Being we are - then we each have to take responsibility for our individual selves. We have to stop trying to fix other people and start "fixing" ourselves. How can we take a splinter from our friend's eye when we have logs in ours? We take the logs out of our eyes by opening up to greater expressions of our Essence and release patterns in mind and heart that distort our true self. Then we express our divine gifts freely and accept the abundance and bounty of soulful living as our reward. The only thing we owe others is the nurturing and celebration of their Essence, just like we each want for ourselves. We must know and trust that this Essence can, and already is, doing what it can to guide us all to higher possibilities. Once we settle into our own inner peace and recognition of our innate, glorious nature, then we can look for those with whom we have an affinity. When two or more gather in the name of Higher Potential, powerful forces are activated because "work" is being done that is resonating with an existing pattern, i.e., the energy of the I AM Presence seeking conscious union with Its own creation. What we observe as evolution is just patterns of form, function and experience that express more complex relationships of that Infinite Presence to Itself. By allowing affinity to work in our lives, we naturally attract those with whom we share a common vision for an exciting, wholesome future, and cause to materialize that good which is already trying to break through in our lives. We co-create and align with a new morphic field that contains all that is needed to materialize any desired possibility. -- Tribal Ink News & The Womb Radio/Krib TV www.tribalink.org www.thewomb.com www.krib.tv 786.268.2723 ~ 305.673.5953 www.myspace.com/lcondor http://tribalinknews.blogspot.com/ -- Tribal Ink News & The Womb Radio/Krib TV www.tribalink.org www.thewomb.com www.krib.tv 786.268.2723 ~ 305.673.5953 www.myspace.com/lcondor http://tribalinknews.blogspot.com/ -- - Tribal Ink News & The Womb Radio/Krib TV www.tribalink.org www.thewomb.com www.krib.tv 786.268.2723 ~ 305.673.5953 www.myspace.com/lcondor http://tribalinknews.blogspot.com/

Annular Solar Eclipse Today!

lcondor — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 06:59:07 GMT

Dear Family of Light, Today is the day!! Annular Solar Eclipse and a Portal of God's Love over the Earth. A good time to be in Silence and Remembering the Supreme. Quite a Celestial event with the Equinox on Satuarday, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year and Day of Remembrance on the New Moon the 22nd and finishing up the Partial Eclipse of the Moon of Sept 7th, then we have a Mercury transit Nov 8, 2006...So be ready for the unexpected and sudden flashes of inspiration. My feeling is God is very present at work in an incognito way and soon people wil be seeing signs in the sky. EQUAL NIGHT: On Saturday, Sept. 23rd (0403 UT), 11:03 pm EST the sun crosses the celestial equator, marking the autumnal equinox--the first day of northern autumn. Equinox means equal night. With the sun on the celestial equator, Earthlings will experience 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. It's also the beginning of aurora season! SOLAR ECLIPSE: There's an annular solar eclipse today, Friday, Sept. 22nd. It begins at 0948 UT , 04:48 am EST when the sun, not an orb but a ring, rises over Surinam and Guyana: Greatest Eclipse will be at 11:40:11 UT or 6:40:11 am EST Annular eclipses occur when the Moon passes straight in front of the sun but fails to cover the entire solar disk. A sliver of sun pokes out in all directions producing a ring of fire. Unfortunately, almost all of Friday's eclipse takes place over uninhabited ocean. The narrow red line in this map traces the "path of annularity." After leaving French Guiana, it touches nothing solid for thousands of miles. Only in the tiniest countries of South America will the ring of fire be visible from land. Elsewhere, the sun will appear as a crescent, a result of the Moon crossing off-center. In Brazil and Argentina, people will experience a crescent sunrise. Later in the day, crescent sunbeams will dapple the ground in Africa. None of the eclipse will be visible from North America, Europe or Asia. More information: http://www.spaceweather.com/ http://www.shadowandsubstance.com/ http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/eclipse.html http://www.mreclipse.com/MrEclipse.html See where the sun is shining.. http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0/java Equinox --Sept. 23rd (0403 UT), = 11:03 pm EST The name "Rosh Hashanah" refers to the holiday as Yom Ha-Zikkaron (the day of remembrance) or Yom Teruah (the day of the sounding of the shofar). The holiday is instituted in Leviticus 23:24-25. The festival of Rosh Hashanah --the name means "Head of the Year" --is observed for two days beginning on Tishrei 1, the first day of the Jewish year. It is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, and their first actions toward the realization of mankind's role in God's world. http://www.chabad.org/holidays/JewishNewYear/template.asp?AID=4762 So enjoy the time we are in, forgive and forget and be a Star of Peace. Om Shanti. From the heart, Lucho

Sun Awakens Eclipse 22 Sept

lcondor — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 09:45:33 GMT

Dear Family of Light, What a weekend!! First, Earth Dance at Moksha Family and The Womb went live in 4 cities, see www.thewomb.com and www.earthdance.org ~ Music that heals and dancing 4 life. Then the Jam program in London live to 100 plus countries, amazing to see the world unite for just a minute. Now we have the Solar Eclipse coming this 22 with the Equinox to match....so hold on tight and be a light. See my below for more info.. Enjoy the Sun ~ Moon Dance, Lucho L Condor lcondorkogi@gmail.com ============================= Daar Family of Light, This time we are in is like a vortex and great power to use from beyond this world. How the Sun is Awakened. In 2006 we had 3 major solar event...and now this one on 22. * 2006 Mar 14: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse * 2006 Mar 29: Total Solar Eclipse * 2006 Sep 07: Partial Lunar Eclipse * 2006 Sep 22: Annular Solar Eclipse The March Eclipses, ties into the eclipses of 2005~~ * 2005 Apr 08: Hybrid Solar Eclipse * 2005 Apr 24: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse * 2005 Oct 03: Annular Solar Eclipse * 2005 Oct 17: Partial Lunar Eclipse So is the earth and the universe changing and is the sun be awakened...only time will tell. This article is dotted with extra quotes from me and my ideas on the inner reality of cosmic light. On Friday, 2006 September 22, an annular eclipse of the Sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor which traverses half the Earth. Be ready to see the dark and light merge into one, partial light in the soul and connecting to the dreams of the past. Codes awake and earth moves to the side... The path of the Moon's antumbral shadow begins in northern South America, Guyana just misses Chavez and crosses the South Atlantic with no further landfall. But smack in the center of the Atlantic is the full effect. Talk about Atlantis being activated... A partial eclipse will be seen from a much larger region including South America, the eastern Caribbean, western Africa, and Antarctica. The path of the annular eclipse begins in Guyana at 09:48 UT when the Moon's antumbral shadow meets Earth and forms a 323 kilometre wide corridor. Guyana's capitol city Georgetown lies just a few kilometres outside the path's northern limit. Here, a magnitude 0.920 partial eclipse will be seen at sunrise. On the central line 160 kilometres south, the duration of annularity is 5 minutes 31 seconds . Rushing east, the antumbra quickly enters Surinam where its capital city Paramaribo lies deep within the antumbral path. Maximum eclipse in Paramaribo occurs at 09:51 UT, the Sun's altitude is 5° and the duration of annularity is 5 minutes 1 seconds. Continuing into French Guiana, the capitol city Cayenne stands just 10 kilometres south of the central line. Maximum eclipse occurs at 09:53 UT as the Sun stands 8° above the eastern horizon during an annular phase lasting 5 minutes 42 seconds. The southern edge of the antumbra briefly clips the north coast of Brazil before spending the next three and a half hours sweeping across the South Atlantic. Greatest eclipse occurs at 11:40:11 UT. The annular duration is 7 minutes 9 seconds, the path width is 261 kilometres and the Sun is 66° above the featureless horizon of the open ocean. The central track runs south of the African continent and nearly reaches Kerguelen Island before ending at local sunset (13:31 UT). During its 3 hour 40 minute flight across our planet, the Moon's antumbra travels about 13,800 kilometres and covers 0.83% of Earth's surface area. http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/LC/LC2006-4.html Partial phases of the eclipse are visible primarily from South America and Africa. The Sun's altitude and azimuth, the eclipse magnitude and obscuration are all given at the instant of maximum eclipse. This is the 16th eclipse of Saros 144. The series began with the first of eight partial eclipses on 1736 Apr 11. The first central eclipse was annular in the Southern Hemisphere on 1880 Jul 07. The series will produce 39 annular eclipses the last of which is 2565 Aug 27. The series terminates on 2980 May 05 after 23 more partial eclipses. Now this is from NASA and I dont think we will be around in 2565. If the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, then a new cycle will begin and time will be different and our mids much more pure to understand the stars. Complete details for Saros 144 may be found at: http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEsaros/SEsaros144.html Additional and supplemental material for the 2006 eclipse will be published here in the coming months. Interactive Map of the Path of Annularity An implementation of Google Map has been created which includes the central path of the 2006 annular solar eclipse. This allows the user to sellect any portion of the path and to zoom in using either map data or Earth satellite data. * Interactive Map of 2006 Annular Solar Eclipse http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/ASE2006google.html Links to other Web Sites for the 2006 Annular Eclipse * Eclipse Weather and Maps - Jay Anderson Links to Live Webcasts of the 2006 Annular Eclipse http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~jander/ * Live Webcast (FRENCH GUIANA) - University of North Dakota, USA http://sems.und.edu/~sems/index.html Reproduction of Eclipse Data So All eclipse calculations are by Fred Espenak, and he assumes full responsibility for their accuracy.

I for one am going to be in ceremony. These days are a chance to recieve cosmic light from the future and see the power of the changes to come. We can activate our inner sun and do magic. The earth has an eternal dance with the moon and sun. Will u awaken the real u and see the light a new day 2 come? The memory of perfection is within and the darkness fades away, u begin to shine like a new days sun. Much love and light, Lucho

Kogis in Washington

lcondor — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 16:23:32 GMT

Dear Family of Light, So much has happened since my return to Amerikua on Sept 5, that dont know where to start. The Kogi film is in prodcution and things moving fast. Went to Colombia for a month , stayed 3...what a magical place. I am happy and at peace. See this note sent to my email list and news of Kogi in Washington. If you want to be added to this list just send me an email at lcondorkogi@gmail.com Enjoy the Solar Eclipse this Sept 22 with a Fall Equinox to match, signs in the sky. Is this Moon-Sun energy strong or what!! Not to mention the sunspots on the sun and a reverse pole sunspot that brings strange things to our star. Imagine your North pole shifting to the South. Now u know why u seem to be out of sync.... Much love and blessings, Lucho ~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))))))) O ((((((((((((((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Friends of the Kogi, Please see this news in Spanish of the Kogis visit to Washington. I have not had chance to translate, as we are finishing the DVD and will send out to souls that request at copy. If u send an email with an address I will send u a DVD copy and some photos. One funny incident is that the Mamos were not allowed on the plane in Atlanta till they got some shoes.... The US Gov. denied the Mamos from bring their Poporo and coca leaves, which is critical for their survival. They also want to visit museums to see if any of their sacred objects are there so they can be returned. Their message is the Sierra needs to be saved. This mail is sent to amigos that have supported the Kogi film and I thank you for the continued support. There is a mystery of the Kogi trip to Washington and NY and in time all will be revealed. They will be in NY this Friday with meeting with UN officials and Director of UNICEF.

See www.pacifistassinfronteras.org Source El Tiempo http://www.eltiempo.com/politica/2006-09-07/ARTICULO-WEB-NOTA_INTERIOR-3233861.html Koguis y arhuacos se reunieron con presidente del BID y congresistas en Washington Foto: Willie Heinz Indígenas koguis y arhuacos con el presidente del BID, Luis Alberto Moreno, en un foro sobre la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Hoy viajan a Nueva York para cumplir una cita con la directora de la Unicef y el Presidente de la Asamblea General de la ONU. Descalzos -lo que les costó el que por poco no los dejaran viajar en avión , con sus atuendos típicos y un tanto aturdidos por el choque cultural, indígenas koguis y arhuacos continuaron su periplo por E.U. con un solo mensaje: salvar la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. En Washington, desde el martes, buscan alertar a la comunidad internacional sobre la fragilidad de la Sierra y acopiar unos 15 millones de dólares en aportes, para comprar los títulos de sus tierras ancestrales. Danilo Villafane, del Consejo Territorial de Cabildos y uno de los arhuacos que participa en la gira, hablo con EL TIEMPO. Qué le ha llamado la atención de Washington ? Pensábamos que iba a ser puro cemento, pero hay mucha vegetación, mucho verde.Ha sido una experiencia muy intensa para todos, pero nos han tratado muy bien. Como decía uno de los mamos: "Recordando la manera como vivimos nosotros y viendo como se vive acá, entendemos que cada cual habita en un mundo distinto, pero con puntos de encuentro. Tienen ganas de visitar algo en particular? Sí, los museos. Queremos ver si tienen objetos de nuestras culturas para que nos los devuelvan. Cómo fue el viaje en avión? Bien y mal. Cuando llegamos a Atlanta la gente fue muy amable. Se querían tomar fotos con nosotros. Pero al salir rumbo a Washington casi no nos dejan abordar el avión porque los mamos estaban descalzos y eso estaba prohibido. Nos dijeron que teníamos que comprar zapatos. Unas señoras que estaban por allí nos facilitaron unas zapatillas y así pudimos viajar. Qué les llevó a realizar tan largo viaje ? La Sierra está amenazada. Llevamos años siendo desplazados por la guerrilla, los paramilitares, los colonos, los narcotraficantes, y no vemos interés local por protegerla. Sabemos que acá hay mucha gente interesada en ayudarnos a preservar nuestra identidad cultural o proteger el medio ambiente. Nosotros lo entendemos y por eso decidimos salir. Y cuál ha sido el mensaje ? Si nosotros hemos sido exitosos en el manejo ambiental de la Sierra, ¿a quién debe pertenecer? Queremos que nos ayuden a comprar los títulos de esa tierra. Lo bueno y lo 'malo' Comisión de alto nivel: Acompañará el proceso de adquisición de títulos. En Washington se reunieron con el senador Patrick Leahy, entre otros. En Nueva York, la cita es con la Directora de Unicef y el Presidente de la Asamblea General de la ONU. Lo que faltó en el viaje: La coca y el poporo (recipiente en que se mezcla). Aunque los mamos hicieron la petición al Capitolio estadounidense, la respuesta fue negativa. "Las leyes no son flexibles", fue la respuesta que les dieron. Cero hamburguesas "Las hamburguesas ni las hemos probado. Nos han preservado la dieta... Hemos comido yuca, carne, plátano, cosas que conocemos". Danilo Villafañe, del Consejo Territorial de Cabildos. SERGIO GÓMEZ MASERI CORRESPONSAL DE EL TIEMPO WASHINGTON

5 arrows and thoughts of peace.

lcondor — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 09:34:28 GMT

Dear Family of Light, Some thoughts 4 future reference, some ideas to remember. A couple days ago was Day of Independence 4 USA and also the Day the 5 arrows that pierced the sky. I was meditating at 3 pm and had a urge to turn on CNN. Saw the news of N Korea and a failed missile test or an act of let me get attention. In times to come things will happen suddenly. You will have but few seconds to decide and calm mind helps to make the right choice. I have been practicing becoming a Light and Might House, as is our instructions in my Raja Yoga world. There comes a time when we need to be free of this world and just be Light Imagine U are a beacon out in the Ocean guiding souls home. A Light House shines from the eternal truths inside and from Gods Light. Light just shines like the Guide, or flashlight in the dark. The Sun Shines for All. Its Rays dont discriminate and just give to one part of the world. The Rays of Knowledge and Yoga create a frequency of colors and sounds that heal the world. When I started by spirit path 20 years ago in Colombia, where I find myself now, I realized the importance of just be Light. My name Luis means Light and in 86 when I had my NDE and went to India, I asked for a new name and got Prakash, which means Light. So in the Light of the Sun, be the One who heals the world. Breathe out any fear and be a Light that heals. Saying om and being happy calms the mind and helps change the atmosphere. The atma is the soul and the spheres are the emotions and thoughts, so be peace, think peace and what do u get? Might is like a Mountain, unshakable and stable. Concentrated and strong. How can u go wrong? It is all in the song Om Shanti. I am a Peaceful Soul. Colombia is a land of magic and mystery. It is great to be here again and many great things coming. Got involved in a World Peace Summit and will be producing a concer in Aug 07. For more info see www.pacifistassinfronteras.org Also check out out my other webs www.myspace.com/lcondor and a great meditation web www.just-a-minute.org Enjoy the inner fireworks and be a Light of Peace. From the heart, Lucho

Equinox and Opening our Hearts 2 the Universe

lcondor — Mon, 20 Mar 2006 07:49:25 GMT

Dear Family of Light, Today, March 20, 2006 is the Spring Equinox, a powerful day from ancient past and present moment. This Equinox, which activates at precisely 1:26 p.m. EST is unique and carries powerful emotional energy. We had a Lunar Eclipse on March 14th and before the month is over the Sun and Moon dance again with a March 29 Solar Eclipse. So if you have been feeling strange and energized it is a cosmic activation taking place. We are sandwiched in between 2 powerful days of Universal Light. Equinox Means "Equal Night" A time to balance the inner and outer self and a time to do ceremony. Because the sun is positioned above the equator, day and night are about equal in length all over the world during the equinoxes. This creates a sacred cross of balancing energy that naturally harmonizes the planet and humanity. 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. 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. 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. For my Mayan amigos this Equinox is Solar 14 Red Electric Dragon See www.tortuga.com To find out the time of the equinox in your bioregion, you may reference: www.archaeoastronomy.com/2006.shtml Preparing for the next Solar Eclipse is important. It is a chance to accelerate synchronicity and intuition. From the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico, to the stone circles in England, to the solar markers in the Native northwest, Equinox is time that was honored as a powerful and transformative time. On any given Equinox, we have an incredible opportunity to make a profound difference in our world. The Sun is on fire and our Inner Sun is being activated. These celestial events are a unique time to tune into the mysteries of time and prophecy. Do you understand the meaning of these ancient cosmic dances of sun and moon? In the past the Tribal People saw the sun as God, without Him no life would exist on earth. When the moon danced in front of the sun and the world becomes dark, it was as a sign of changes to come, a sign from God to awake and change the inner self. The power of cycles and cosmic days is not to be underestimated. In these days we can see our shadow side and also our true power. This is a time to look deep within and change what is not working. It is also a time to be timeless and have faith that everything that is happening is perfect and no need to worry. Worry is a negative emotions and during these times we have to be on a high vibrational frequency and only create positive and powerful thoughts about ourselves and the world. Have mercy on yourself and become double light, light in the mind and light in your astral self with pure thoughts. We are in a world torn by conflict, war in the Iraq, the Middle East in eternal fighting over religion, conflict in families and nature creating havoc. We dream a message of peace, love and enlightenment and it is up to us to make it happen. We are creating a new world by the thoughts we plant now. If you see a clock we are at 11:59, a confluence age or Diamond age, a time to remember the ancient truths and feel God’s power and knowledge. Time to become a diamond in God’s eyes. Change is coming and the world will not be the same. The world will not be destroyed, but there will be a cleansing. No need to fear, no need to run and hide, just be aware of what you need to do to let your angel within awaken. For me it is a time to do ceremony, meditate and pray. To go beyond this world to our original home, the soul world. One day we will all return home and you will be amazed at the Cosmic Drama of Life and how powerful you were all along. In the Mahabharat, it shows Krishna teaching Arjuna the way to conquer the vices within himself and how to fight the inner and outer demons. Krishna stops the movie like a freeze frame and explains the mysteries of God, the world cycle and the time we are in. We are all Arjuna and God or Krishna, Christ, Allah, Baba or whatever name you like is waiting for us to hear His Message. His message is one of peace and love, a message of hope. That is why I go to India to hear God’s message for the world. We can never give up and lose hope. Peace is around the corner and the world is waiting for us to awaken. For my family in Miami we will gather at 46 and Collins on Miami Beach from 12 noon to 2 p.m. for a fire ceremony, then again at sunset. This is a chance to burn the past and light you inner fire. Let us join together in the cosmic dance of sun and moon with a Spirit of Unity and Love for our fellow brothers and sisters. Life is wonderful when we tune into God’s light and serve the world. Millions are uniting in prayer and meditation this weekend, so please offer your peaceful and powerful energy and join in spirit. There are several global prayer synchronizations occurring that we wanted to share with you. Please visit this link to learn about the different opportunities to participate: http://www.souledout.org/festivals/globalmeditations/global.html 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. 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.

Karmapalooza, Yoga Fest this weekend 17 March

lcondor — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 02:51:38 GMT

My buddy Mike is putting together Karmapalooza, a festival of giving back through Yoga March 17-18 Take a look at this web and join from your home or if you are in Miami land come out and support somethig special. A Weekend of Yoga & Music at The Standard with ALL PROCEEDS benefiting The Nature Conservancy On March 17th and 18th 2006, Yoga practitioners from all over the United States will come to South Florida to celebrate a common goal…making a difference in the world using their yoga practices!! In only two years, Karmapalooza has donated over $10,000 to charity using mostly grassroots coverage. This year Karmapalooza is raising the bar and expanding in every level! Our event will be a wonderful opportunity for both experienced practitioners and newcomers to yoga to participate in a weekend of fun and transformation. For the second consecutive year the money raised from the event will be donated to THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, a global non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve the plants, animals, and natural communities by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. http://nature.org/ Our venue for Karmapalooza will be The Standard, Miami, a brand new holistic spa hotel in South Beach overlooking the beautiful backdrop of Biscayne Bay. 40 Island Ave, S Beach. 305 673 1717 Karmapalooza's intention is to display how a community that’s usually divided by various dogmas and styles can unite together as one in order to serve a higher purpose - Doing yoga and doing good for our planet! What's more!! Our noble efforts will be receiving national media recognition by the preeminent source for yoga in the United States, Yoga Journal, with a scheduled feature article in their March/April 2006 issue. Karmapalooza begins on Friday, March 17th at 7:30 PM with a lecture by Dr. Wayne Dyer’s teacher, Sri Siva Baba, a mystic and revered Indian Master. Siva Baba's main message focuses on selfless service [a.k.a. Karma Yoga] in order to turn ordinary lives into extraordinary lives. Following the lecture will be a concert of Divine dimensions featuring, Inner Voice, recently voted 'Best Pop Band' by the Miami New Times. On Saturday, March 18th from noon until 6 PM, Karmapalooza will host its main fund-raising activity, The 3rd Annual South Florida Sun Salutation-A-Thon, which works just like a walk-a-thon, but incorporates a sequence of successive yoga poses called Sun Salutations. Throughout the day, people will enjoy yummy vegetarian cuisine, plus other Yoga related activities and a fabulous silent auction. For those that can't make it in person to Karmapalooza because they live outside of Florida or will be traveling/busy, we have created a special program this year called "Sponsor a Yogi From Afar." This dynamic program will allow people to log onto our website, read about 12 super cool yogis from all walks of life who reside in South Florida, and get involved with our event in a personal way by practicing Karma Yoga [selfless service] and sponsoring the yogi of their choice in the Sun Salutation-A-Thon with a donation made in that yogi's honor. The highlight of the weekend is Saturday evening's concert of Indian devotional music starring: Donna De Lory (who is well known as Madonna’s back up singer) and two of the leaders of the modern Kirtan movement, Dave Stringer and David Newman. Together, they represent the “crème de la crème” of the new generation of American devotional chanters and they will be playing for the first time together live on one stage…It’s gonna be totally awesome!! For additional information on this spectacular event, please visit: www.karmapalooza.com Karmapalooza's mission is to bring people together while harmoniously uniting the four yogic paths into "a festival of giving through yoga." In the past two years, our efforts have raised over $10,000 for charity! Our intention is to provide the yoga community at large with the opportunity to celebrate the diversity of people with different practices, different traditions, and different styles while raising money for a noble, charitable cause. In essence, it is the experience of being part of something larger than oneself (with its primary focus on selfless service) that we are seeking to give back to the community. We aim to demonstrate the unlimited potential of yogis and yoginis who have expanded their lives through yoga! Media by Tribal Ink News www.tribalink.org

Blue Sun, Healing Water Eclipse

lcondor — Sat, 11 Mar 2006 17:56:50 GMT

Dear Family of Light, Today, March 11, 2006 and the next 28 days are going to be quite unique. Starting today there will be an amazingly big shift, the largest since 1999. A Cosmic Dance in Space and Time. In Egypt there has been 2 Blue suns, caused by dust storms and in ancient past the Sun’s color gave keys to time-codes. . see www.spaceweather.com We have a lunar eclipse on the New Moon on Tues the 14 and a Solar one on the full moon the 29th...so 2 shadows over our mother, father and Gaia. Earth, the Elders and time has requested that we help this shift to happen smoothly and peacefully. It is all your preception and participation. It is a time of great polarization and there are some difficult squares and oppositions in astrological terms around this date. The energy that the planet will hold after the shift is the energy of opportunity which seems to me to mean that anything we have been wanting or planning for but have felt stuck and unmoving will suddenly move. Like a water geyser streaming from a moon on Saturn. Today news reported that same fact. www.miamiherald.com It will be much easier to create, so be a little more careful about what you think, feel and dream. Your dreams will come true. Ask and U will recieve. It is a Call of Time. The artist and priest unite, magic is in the air. It is an exciting time and really is full of opportunity. On the date in question, 11th March, at a time you feel or sense is the right time, please stand quietly, if possible, near water - a stream, river, the sea, a lake, the ocean, the snow, or a tear drop. Or if you cannot, then have a bowl of water next to you. 12 noon is always good as is Sunrise and Sunset. Let the energy come through you and into the earth, feel it as it passes through you. Imagine a blue healing light coming from the sun and moon. A reflection of you and me. As you anchor this light and energy into the earth you will know when it is time to stop. If you have been standing in water - great, but if not, then immediately go and put your hands in the water whether it is the sea or a bowl of water. Pour the bowl of water onto the earth, then sing into it, put your hands in it. Send love, blessings, peace and harmony into the heart of the Earth, your mother. Connect with the dolphins and whales and listen, be silent.... The more souls activate this new energy the more indigo light can go through to be anchored, the easier it will be for all humankind to absorb this energy safely and peacefully. Water is a carrier and so putting a part of your body, mind and soul into this ceremony will create echos in time. We carry that eternal light and water or emotions into our present. This energy from God and the dance of the stars into the water helps the energy to spread and anchor. Light becomes Sound, Music becomes Color. Love is Light and Color is Sound creating Peace through out the universe. Harmony begins with U and Me. Take time to hear the message of your inner water/child and the water in the galaxy. It is the emotions of space and time. Have no fear and move the energy like a child swimming in an ocean. Carefree and Alert. Om Shanti. I am a peaceful soul.... We are the ones the world has been waiting 4. Time is Emit. See http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/OH2006.html http://www.astroprofile.com/2006eclipse.htm See message below from a special friend. From the heart, Lucho I send my Love, Light and Peace in Endless Water and God Smiles seeing me being Love in Action. http://www.whaleriderthemovie.com/ this helps to connect with the ancients www.bkwsu.org www.brahmakumaris.com www.bkpublications.com ======== Dear Hado Instructors, This came from Hannelie in South Africa, but I got the same message from Gaia network via Puerto Rico and another spiritual person in South Africa. It is about a short meditation for 11 March, and it concentrates on water as the messenger. I think there will be other such messages between now and July 17, 2007 (11.11 GMT) when there will be a really important big one hour meditation to join people around the world to give love and gratitude to the Earth. (see www.firethegrid.com) Wishing you all much love and gratitude in your work, Beth PS. Remember Dr. Emoto's Grand Invocation: "Uchuu no mugen no chikara ga korikotte Makoto no daiwa no miyo ga narinatta" (loose translation) "The Infinite power of the universe has been crystallized to create a world of truth and great harmony." http://www.thank-water.net
