The Birth of a New Humanity


I am going to present information that is only understood by a few. Long ago, over 13,000 years ago, the human grids of consciousness began to collapse and humanity began to lose their higher consciousness. It is what the Bible called the Fall. Something had to be done or humanity would end up no higher than the animals. But as the Earths axis shifted to a new location and Atlantis sank below the ocean levels, and the Maya, Kogi and Arjarcos headed in their boats to new lands, humanity also began to sink below the levels of awareness that were once achieved. Men and women more advanced than we are now quickly became hairy barbarians with not even the knowledge to light a re. Their Mer-Ka-Ba elds, their light bodies, had been shut down leaving them exposed to the effects of the Earths magnetic eld having been shut off. The memories of humanity were erased. In a far distance place a decision was made, and a global project was begun here on Earth to bring the humans back to their rightful consciousness level, but it would take 13,000 years, to where we are right now in time. And what Life knows is that to save a race of beings in this way doesnt always work, but this time it did. This is the true story of how certain humans who were exempt from the Fall, rose to the occasion and long ago began to develop massive Earth geomancy to recreate a specic human grid of consciousness that surrounded the Earth so that someday humanity could return to the higher levels of consciousness they had once achieved. Every life form on Earth must have a consciousness grid that completely surrounds the Earth in order for it to exist. Without these grids, there is no awareness. When you understand the science that is behind this story, it will amaze you. And when you understand the results of this 13,000 years experiment, you will be lled with joy. For what has happened is no less than the Birth of a New Humanity. YOU will see, for you are about to live it. Beyond 2012 indeed! We as the human race are just beginning. Again.

And I am honored to give you this wonderful news.

The Purpose of Life Blessings - The Human Race


http://humanityhealing.net/ We are here to learn and we are here to grow, and we are here to help others grown and learn. The life of Everyone of us is a service to others; not only by sharing healing through compassion, but by living their lives as an example for others. A Blessing is sincere, heart-felt call for anothers well-being. It is a Prayer born of Compassion and Love. It is an Intention traveling from the connection that joins us and is sent out into the Universe. We give of ourselves and send our energy out for anothers greatest good. The Human Race is one that has been around since the dawn of time. Today, more and more are awakening and remembering who they really are, where they came from and why they are here. They are stepping forward to take peaceful action and to realize their rightful soul purposes.

From the Heart of Drunvalo Melchizedek


Here in the United States, and in other left-brained countries, we have introduced the left-brained studies rst without the emotional healing because these countries are having a difcult time understanding the female pathway. In many cases they have simply rejected this simple pathway. Therefore, we have introduced this male pathway rst (just to get their attention). But now that we have your attention, and you are beginning to study this pathway, I nd it necessary to tell you that you must now, or at least at some point on this path, begin to study the female way. "Emotional healing is essential" if you really wish to nd enlightenment in this world. There is NO way around this. Once you begin to nd out about the higher worlds, you, yourself, will stop your own growth past a certain point until this emotional healing has taken place. I am sorry, but that is the way it is. You can't do the Mer-Ka-Ba or any other kind of meditation to any real degree of success if your emotional body is out of balance. My suggestion is that you trust yourself and open to the possibility of someone coming into your life that can help you with your emotional imbalances (even if you are not aware of them). It almost always requires help from the outside. We usually cannot see our own problems, and so this is one area of human experience where outside help is just about the only way. It is only when a person is in a relatively healthy emotional balance, can they successfully function through the Mer-Ka-Ba.

The Divine Feminine and the Precession of the Equinoxes


This cycle occurs in human relationships between man and woman. It also is observed in tiny cycles that we can't even see, such as between protons and electrons within the atom. And it denitely takes place within the larger cycles of the universe. One of these larger cycles involves the Precession of the Equinoxes. Our planet and a vast array of smaller cycles on the planet are dependent on this very large cycle of the Earth. The Precession is simply a wobble in the Earth's axis that takes a little less than 26,000 years to complete itself. Slowly, over these 26,000 years, the Earth moves through all twelve constellations (thirteen, if you count Orion). What's of interest to us here is the nature of this cycle as it relates to the Female/Male cycle of humanity. Older spiritual traditions, for example in India and Tibet, have discovered that as the axis of the Earth begins to move away from the center of the galaxy, the male principle takes control of humanity and protects us as we "fall asleep" for 13,000 years. And then, as the cycle changes direction and begins to move toward the center of the galaxy, the female principle takes over control from the male, and she guides humanity for the next 13,000 years. The image of the Earth as half black (night time) and half white (day time) at any moment, and the image of humanity where half the world is asleep and half is awake, are like minor examples of this larger Precession of the Equinoxes, where we fall asleep for 13,000 years and then wake up for 13,000 years. In both, the same dynamic is expressed. And it just so happens that right now, the axis of the Earth is at the exact

position where the female begins to control humanity - and humanity begins to wake up! We see this as the feminist movement becomes stronger and stronger. Females are beginning to enter the arenas that males have dominated for centuries, such as public ofce, military, business leadership, and all the other changes we have witnessed. Could there be a woman in the White House? This is a very real possibility, now, where only a few years ago it would not have even been considered. The government of my home state of Arizona is almost completely in the hands of women, and this is a possible image of what the future will hold. India and Tibet agree that as we enter this new phase in the Precession of the Equinoxes, the female not only takes control of the affairs of humanity, but she is the one who leads us back into the Light. She is the principle that guides us into higher consciousness. In other words, humanity begins to wake up and continues to wake up for 13,000 years. This is not a "good thing" or a "bad thing," it is simply the nature of the cycle that God created. And the sooner we realize the nature of this new half of this cycle, the sooner humanity will nd peace and balance. It's time for the old to let go. The men who have been controlling the world for thousands of years must acknowledge the very real need for the feminine to enter into our world affairs. Without this soft and nurturing aspect of the female in world events, humanity and the Earth, at this point in the cycle, will continue to suffer. For everything in these cycles is about balance. But to me, and to those who understand the Precession of the Equinoxes, it is absolutely inevitable that the female - the Divine Female - will continue to inltrate the positions that the Divine Male held for so long, until nally the

dawn breaks on the new cycle of humanity. And then, for 13,000 years, we will continue to grow stronger and more awake to the possibilities of human potential. Life in balance can be one almost beyond human imagination. I say "almost" because the Divine Female will take us to the very edge of what we believe is possible - and then beyond, where she will lead us in the Last Cycle, not in a circle of return, but in an ever-expanding spiral. And then, of course, 13,000 years from now, the Divine Male will begin to resume control, to protect us from the darkness and our own unconsciousness as we fall asleep one more time. Okay, Mom, it's your turn now. Here's the torch. We believe in you. And may God bless your pure female wisdom.

Love is the Answer


We are now in a time to proceed to the next level of Life consciously. Does that feel right to you? It is my belief that the world is ready. All the consciousness grids around the world are complete. Everything has been adjusted and tuned to a very high degree from a human point of view. Mother Earth is awake and conscious, and She knows exactly what we are thinking and feeling. She knows our deepest heart's desire. And I believe that Mother loves us beyond our knowing. I believe She will come to our aid to help us to understand who we truly are. And it will be us, as children, through living our own lives that will bring this world back into the Light. This is the time we have been all preparing for the last 13,000 years - 1998 to 2012 - a fteen year period. If everything all the prophets have said about that period of time come true, we are about to be truly changed into a new kind of human. Even science agrees that it does appear to be true; the children with the four extra codons turned on in their DNA are the buds of a

new human race. So what is it about 1998 to 2012? All the prophets of the past have pointed to this time. The Indigenous People of the World; the Native Americans (the Hopi & the Taos Pueblo); the White Brother/Sister; and the Zulu Tribe in Africa believe in the coming change. The Maya believe by the prophecy of their elders and the "Sixth Sun", that the Seventh Sun is coming. The Japanese believe with the prophecies of "Amaterasu" a returning to earth coming at this time. And then there is Nostradamus and his predictions and Edgar Cayce and his prophecies. Cayce is probably the most detailed and descriptive in his prophecies. He said there would be a new earth pole in the winter of 1998. Even the United Nations believe that within this period of time the earth will double it's population, and most of the earth will die. The message of the Flower of Life is that the "change" will happen during the next 15 years. We are ready now, but Life will decide when we will move. So now that the Time of Great Change' is here, what do we do? Prepare physically? Physically means nding a place that feels safe and storing food and necessary equipment for up to a two-year period. This may or may not be right for you. Understand the situation. First of all, this period of time you would be preparing for is before the change, not after. The idea that we are to prepare and wait, and then after to come out of the shelter and resume life after the change is misleading. Once the change has happened, the next world will not be visible to the old one. We will ascend into a New World on a different wavelength where any physical preparation made on earth will be useless there. Just as in death, you cannot bring it with you. So the reason for physical preparation is to give one a safe place to make the transition without violence and struggle - a calm place and time to meditate during the outer changes going on. If, however, you do not feel it is necessary, that is all right also. Spirit is forever. No matter what happens, you

will survive. What is truly important here is your state of consciousness during this transition. Your consciousness can overcome any of the physical problems. See and live the Unity of Life. If you know there is only one God and that all life is intimately connected together, and if you see this unity everywhere, and nally if you live this unity in your everyday life, Mother Earth will protect you & carefully lead you into the next world. This is the great secret of Life and the protection that Mother Nature will provide. How is this achieved? By dropping the old consciousness of Good and Evil, which we must do in order to enter the new higher consciousness. The old consciousness sees itself as being inside a body and everything and everyone else as outside of itself. This way of seeing is an illusion. The Hindus call it Maya'. Hermes of Ancient Greece once said, As above, so below'. This quote has become famous, and is just now being proven by science. The macrocosm and the microcosm reect each other. In the same way, another quote is important. As within, so without'. The inside & the outside are connected. It is here, where the important work will be lived. To realize that what happens on the inside reects to the outside, and the other way around. This relationship is effected by our feelings. Fear creates a contracted state of being. Love creates an expanded state of being. When we are in fear and contracted, the outer world controls our inner world. When we are in love and expanded, the inner world controls our outer world. What happens when you lose your job? You go into fear and contraction, and it feels like the whole world is crashing in on you. The more you are in fear, the more difcult it is to nd a job. However, when you are in love and expanded, everything seems to naturally go right. People want you to work for them, because they want to be around you. There is a relationship. So the key to interdimensional survival is to remain positive and in love with life even when the outer world may seem hopeless. Know the perfection of

Nature. At the same time and equally important, know and see that Great Spirit/Nature is alive and conscious of you. Develop communication within yourself with God. An example of indigenous understanding of this is that of the Kahunas in Hawaii: heir belief in nature as alive and conscious. The nal key is to bring this connection' with Nature into yourself. Let your inner child self emerge and play' with Life. Marah Baba said it perfectly, Be happy, don't worry.' Bashar said it in another way, Be happy for no reason.' It is your childlike joy that will lead you home. Do you REMEMBER?

We the Angels
Reliefs of angels have been discovered in the ancient cities of Mesopotamia and were described on the Sumerian cuneiform cylinders and clay tablets in the oldest writings known to exist on Earth. Angels are associated with the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic religions, one of the things upon which they all agree. The Jews even categorize the angels into 72 different orders. And on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, at the Acropolis of Ek Balam, in the Yucatan, we can see reliefs of angels that were carved by the ancient Mayans. In fact, if we were to expand upon the phenomenon of angels in the Ancient World, we would nd them embedded in human civilization in a vast array of places and time periods. So there is historical evidence that angels, or at least beliefs about angels, have been with us for as long as recorded history. For me, though, it is not a matter of belief. I know for certain of their existence.

My Angelic Encounters
As many of you have read in my rst book, The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Volume 1, it was long ago, in 1971, when the angels rst came to me. I was meditating with my wife of that time when they appeared to both of us, unexpectedly, in the room where we were sitting. There were two of them, both very tall, one green and the other an ultraviolet color. The angels looked at us and spoke to us. They began with these words: "We are not separate from you. We are you." From that moment, my life was changed forever. The angels continue to appear to me, and they have been guiding my steps since that day. Attributes of the Angels: Here are some of the basic facts I have learned about the angels in the past 32 years since they rst introduced themselves to me. 1. All human beings have at least two angels directly connected to them. Some of us have many more. 2. Angels have no form. They appear to us differently depending on what and how we believe. 3. Angels use a manifest form as a vehicle to establish communication. This is because it is extremely difcult for us humans to establish communication with "higher" beings and to believe in that communication if we cannot "see" or at least envision who we are speaking with. The image of human-like beings with wings is not the angels' natural state, but they use this form often because it is so easy for us to accept. 4. Angels live primarily in another dimension, but they can enter this world.

5. The angels that you are connected to literally are you on another level of existence. They are not "something else" or "someone else" separate from you. The angels are who we are. To me, angels are a part of what many spiritual traditions refer to as the Higher Self. As I have learned, and as I experience, we exist on many other physical levels of life. And the aspects of Self at these other levels are called, collectively, our "Higher Self." From this perspective, our Higher Self has a Higher Self, and so on, reaching in a chain all the way to God, the Source of Life. And the angels are the closest connection to humanity in this chain of consciousness. Also - and perhaps most importantly - of all the higher beings, the angels are the easiest for us to perceive and communicate with. Jesus, the Son of God, spoke with the angels. So did Moses, Mohammed, and Abraham. And so can you! How to Communicate with Angels: Since we have been warned by both the Mayans and the Hopis that the period of time from the middle of August to the end of December 2003 could bring unprecedented Earth Changes (which of course may or may not happen depending upon the collective dream of humanity), perhaps now is an ideal time for you to ask for and receive the assistance and guidance of your own angels. How do we do it? First, we must accept them as a real possibility, or else our disbelief will stop our consciousness from making the connection. Belief alone is not enough - it only opens us to possibilities - but it is the essential rst step. Secondly, we must engage all three of our primary bodies when we are opening to angelic visitation. If any one of these bodies is not absolutely engaged in the process, nothing will happen. These three primary bodies are the Mental, the Emotional, and the Physical.

Our Mental Body must open to "see" the angels, but this seeing should now be explained or there will be confusion. "Seeing" may be external - in the 3D space around us - but it doesn't have to be. It can be internal, in our minds. It doesn't matter to the angels. Also, "seeing" for some people involves the feminine way, which is what we call "sensing." In sensing, one does not actually see the angel visually, but can sense the angel's presence. And in this sensing, even though we never actually "see" the angels directly, we can communicate completely. Again, whether we see, sense, or inwardly imagine the angels does not matter. All ways are equally valid, and most people use a little of each. The Emotional Body also must be activated. You must feel the emotion whatever that may be for you - as if the angel or angels were standing in the room or you were seeing them in your inner vision. Without this emotion, nothing will happen. Lastly, your Physical Body must be engaged. You must feel the sensations in your body that would be exhibited if an angel physically showed up in your room - the adrenaline owing in your veins, the accelerated heart rate, and so on. You say, "How can I do this if my angel or angels do not actually appear?" It does take practice and skill, but without your three bodies participating, it is very unlikely you will be able to make this connection. In activating all three of your primary bodies at once, you open the channel between you and your angels, and they actually are able to appear or be sensed by you. Once this has happened even one time, your life will change completely, as your angels - you at a higher level of existence - will be able to guide you in ways that no one else could possibly do.

Angels and the Coming Times: Whatever happens in the next four months, we have apparently entered a time of great change. And in this time, making a connection between you and your angels could very well be the most important occurrence in your life. Clear and accurate guidance during these times we are now in is worth more than everything you own and all the knowledge you have gained so far. The angels will bring into your life clear and accurate guidance. But even more importantly, they will bring you a wisdom far beyond the possibilities of the unaided human experience. My prayer for you is that this connection with your angels be completed as soon as possible. Your angels are waiting with a wide open heart, with a love for you greater than anything you may ever have known on Earth.

The Secret of Secrets


Nevertheless, in the month (August 2003) I published a new book about this very subject. It's called Living in the Heart. What I have found is that although the direct experience is paramount to knowing the Secret of Secrets, talking or reading about the Sacred Space of the Heart can prepare the mind for this change. In order to help accomplish this change, I have created a CD that will be included in the book. It will lead you into the heart space in a similar manner that was used in ancient times, thousands of years ago. At least, this is my hope and prayer. What Is this Secret of Secrets? First of all, on a mundane level, it is a physical space within the body that is found, depending on the tradition,

either inside the heart or very close to it. Some traditions say it is behind the heart, some say it is off to one side, and others say it is in front of the heart. But most believe it is located inside the physical heart, and that's what I believe. One aspect is clear. It is not the heart chakra. The Secret of Secrets has been referred in the Jewish tradition as the Secret Chamber of the Heart. The Upanishads, the Hindu sacred texts, refer to it as the Tiny Place Within the Heart. It also is sometimes referred to as the Sacred Space of the Heart, which is the designation I use in my new book. In truth, there is very little found that has ever been written about this most important part of human experience. It is apparent that in ancient times, this place within the heart was known and entered into in their ceremonies, for this is still being done today in a few "lost" tribes in remote areas of the world. In modern times, the HeartMath Institute is the forerunner of research into this ancient knowledge, and at the same time they are nding new information that probably even the Ancient Ones didn't know. From my perspective and the view of many indigenous tribes, this Sacred Space within the Heart holds the only possibility of there ever being peace on Earth. All political actions on the Earth are being taken from Duality Consciousness - the result of the Fall - and this form of consciousness is based on ego. As long as ego runs the course of events in the world, we will never know peace. Ego judges all events as either good or bad from its own viewpoint, and ego always thinks of itself rst.

As long as ego is safe and comfortable, ego doesn't usually care what happens to that which seems external to itself.

The Reality Within the Heart


The heart is so different! It perceives the world as an image, not something "real," and it see everything at once. The heart knows only unity and Oneness, and creates from that way of seeing. It will never do anything that will be harmful to anyone or anything, for it knows that there is not "two." All that exists is within the heart. In fact, even if it does not exist, it is still within the heart. People, in the past myself included, often believe that love is the word for what is connected to the heart space. We celebrate Valentine's Day with images of a heart representing our connection with love and our lover. But from the Sacred Space of the Heart, there are various kinds of love, and the love that we experience between two people is seldom coming from the heart. This kind of love is actually coming from the emotional body and is controlled by the right brain. These emotional feelings are polarized, just as the brain is, and have an opposite expression - for example, love can become hate. How often have you kissed someone you love dearly and then ten minutes later, in a moment of heat (heart without an "r"), said, "I hate you!" This is a conditional love. It changes with the moment. But in the Sacred Space of the Heart there is a different kind of emotional body, so to speak, that does not have a polarized counterpart. This is a LOVE that knows no bounds, has no conditions, and will exist eternally no matter what.

This LOVE knows only Oneness and creates only to bring joy to all life everywhere. Ever since we fell from our heart to our mind, we have been in hell. And so I pray that someday soon we all nd this place within our hearts, for in this most holy place we all join together as One. Does this sound like New Age hype, or do you really realize the possibility and power of what many people are saying today about this hidden world of the heart? All the world's religions and spiritual disciplines allude to this possibility, but most of them have forgotten how to actually enter this sacred space. These ways, like most of the old ways, have been lost. But as I said in the beginning, this experience can never be truly lost, for it is the source of humanity and the cosmos itself. It can only be veiled. As with all natural events in nature, all things have their timing. The return to the heart by humankind is only a matter of time. And remember, the great achievements of this human world have always began with a single man or woman. If only one person - perhaps you? - were to enter the heart in LOVE and begin the holy dreaming process of creating a new world, can you not see that all the rest of us would someday follow? A veil is only a veil! The truth is always eternal. Through a single person, the Secret of Secrets could be revealed in the ordinary world of everyday life. You will realize that I have purposely left out of this article any actual instructions on how to enter the heart consciousness. This is for the same reason that the ancients never, or seldom, wrote down their knowledge. The step-by-step instructions won't get you there. It's not something that can be conveyed in the space of an article, and as you will see in reading this magazine, the best anyone can do is help prepare you.

I do pray that what I have done with the new book and CD will be of service. But the truth is that without an experienced teacher and the oral tradition, it is very difcult to truly nd this Sacred Space. So if you still need more help, please go to the schedule of workshops on my personal website at Drunvalo.net. Even in a living workshop, we take two days of preparation before we try to enter the Sacred Space. But in this context, most problems can be overcome, and the direct experience can usually be achieved.

The Sacred Space in the Heart


But over the last decade or so, I have been having experiences, guided by the same angels, that have clearly indicated my limits were about to be expanded. One day, a few years ago, as I meditated within the Mer-Ka-Ba, I found myself in a world that I could not understand. I was inside a cave made of rock. It was as real as anything I had ever seen in the "real" world. If I'd visited this cave only once, or even a few times, I would probably have left it and continued in the meditational direction I seemed to be following with the path of the Mer-Ka-Ba. But that's not what happened. Instead, as events unfolded, I began to nd myself in this rock cave two or three times a week. For years, I really had no clue as to what this meant or why it was happening. But slowly - very slowly - it began to dawn on me where I was. I was inside my own heart! The inside of this cave, it seemed, had not been made by nature. It was clear that this cave was constructed by human - or, at least, conscious - hands.

There were images of people on the walls, steps leading down into another layer, and elds of light that would not allow me to pass or view them. And most intriguing - there was a small round ring of white silicon sand that felt completely different from any other place in this cave. At one point in my enlightenment about the heart, I was asked by several unique sources to teach this experience. And as I was exposed to teaching over four thousand students and listening to over two thousand of them speak of their intimate experiences within their own hearts, I began to realize the nature of the human heart. Its nature was one of dreaming and images, and most centrally - creating that which is manifested in the outer world. Recently, I have experienced how the heart and the mind, the toroidal elds of the Mer-Ka-Ba, and the toroidal elds of the heart can interconnect in such a way as to give the "Life Direction" back to the heart. As long as mind and ego control the direction of creating, there will always be problems in the outer world, for the ego thinks only of itself and lives in duality. But when the heart is in control, everything comes back into balance, for the heart feels and knows only the Oneness of Life. So, to me, this is what this issue of the Spirit of Ma'at is about - returning the heart into the affairs of the world. Even though the ego has been necessary during the last 13,000 years, it is time for it to retreat back once again to being simply a part of potential. The ego is not needed any more. The heart knows exactly the timing and the way. If you read this issue only with your mind, whatever conclusions you come to about the information will not be "truth." For meaning within the heart is not accessible to the logic of the brain. If you can read with your heart, only then will you understand. It is your choice. As it has always has been. In love and service, Drunvalo

Magic versus Miracles


Magic, Miracles, and Christianity
Many Christians feel that Harry's inuence is not a good thing. And yet throughout all of the Harry Potter books, the issue of good versus evil and the proper use of magical powers is explored through the metaphors of the story. So let us explore it more explicitly here. Why is it that some religions believe that miracles are from God, a good and beautiful occurrence, and that magic - even if it is performing the same feat is evil? Have you ever thought about it? In the outer world of the senses, there is no difference between magic and miracles, from my way of seeing. Both usually break the laws of physics and inuence or change the reality in some manner. But is there, as some Christians suggest, a problem with magic? Is Jesus, while he is walking on water, performing magic? Or is it a miracle? This question could be answered in various ways depending on one's relationship to Christianity. And another question is this: If an ordinary person were walking on water, would this be both magic and evil? So many questions. I will do my best to give you my truth, but realize it is only my truth. Another would see this subject differently depending on their religious and spiritual training. It is important, though, for each of us to be clear in this area. For we all will be called upon, sooner or later, to use our human potential to alter the outer world. The use of powers is simply a spiritual law, a "gateway" that everyone must pass though. Even Jesus had to do this. In a public place, during a marriage celebration,

Jesus turned water into wine - showing everyone that he could alter the outer world with his inner being. It was a huge test to see if what he knew could actually be manifested. And his success at turning water into wine was also the birth of his ministry. Someday, you too will be called to perform a similar feat, to prove to yourself and God that you are ready for higher consciousness. Will you be ready? But what about the potential problems? In India, there is a practice called Siddhi Yoga, where the student learns that the outer world can be controlled by the inner being, and in controlling the outer world, a possibility of the human inner world becomes manifest and can lead to self-realization. Self-realization is the direct knowledge and experience of God. In this world, the Siddis, or the powers of the human spirit, must be mastered to go into the higher levels of consciousness. But all the while that they are training you for this understanding, they are warning you against the possible dangers in doing so. From my own training in Siddhi yoga, this is what I learned. "Siddhi" means the powers of the human spirit to manifest in the outer world. The "danger" is that it's possible for a student of Siddhi Yoga to learn about and begin to practice certain levels of higher consciousness and outer manifestation before he or she has transcended the ego. Transcending the ego is considered absolutely necessary before a person can become stable within the higher consciousness and use these innate human powers responsibly. This means that a student can perform "magic" and do it for personal gain or satisfaction instead of with the will of God for the greater good. When a student forces their personal willpower over the will of God, this is where the "danger" lies.

Once a student begins to practice the siddhis without regard to God, this person's spiritual growth stops and may not proceed until there is a change in the ego of that student. This is the danger - that one will be overcome by the power. The ego then becomes enhanced and the student forgets that there is something much greater spiritually than just being able to manipulate the outer reality. In Paul Dong's book on the psychic children of China, called China's SuperPsychics, he talks about two famous Chinese psychics. Both of these were discovered when they were children. Today, they are grown men, about 27 years old. Both are able to demonstrate psychic abilities on the same level that Jesus did. These two have been scientically observed by the Chinese government performing what most of us would call miracles. They can oat objects around the room with their minds. In controlled, scientic experiments they can move objects in and out of sealed containers. And they can perform many other incredible feats of magic. One of them has even been scientically observed walking through a solid wall. But one of these two pyschics is still in his ego, and the Chinese government is very much afraid of him because of his power. Wherever he goes, to prime his ego, the government literally rolls out the red carpet, with fanfare. This man knows whatever you are thinking. And if he doesn't like you, his favorite thing to do is to harm you. He will send a "ball of re" across space to where you are and set your cloths on re, burning your body. He obviously doesn't care what happens to you. The other man can do every single thing that the rst can do, except he has one more ability: he can heal people. The rst man can heal no one, because he doesn't love them. But the second one cares and loves people. He can heal them, and he does.

So here again we can see that one can be very advanced psychically and still have an ego very much in control. It is simple. When a student learns of magic and still has his ego, he will become a magician that is either a Black Magician or a White Magician. Actually, these powers fall along a spectrum. The nevo magician can become anything between black and white. A little of both is more normal. Depending on how the student was raised and his belief patterns, he will reect that in his magic. Either he will care or not. But either way, black or white, if the magician still has his ego, he is dangerous to himself and to others because the "magic" is being controlled by a person's ego, which cannot see the greater good. When a student passes safely beyond the ego and at the same time beyond magic, what happens? A self-realized magician transforms into an enlightened being, a being who has merged with God, and where God looks out through his or her eyes. The magic is now a miracle, for it is God who is doing it. One must learn about magic, for it is on the way to higher consciousness. But also one must transform from Polarity Consciousness to Unity Consciousness during the exploring of magic or face possibly "dangerous" problems. It's kind of like what happens to a baby if they walk too early. If they wait until about one year, both sides of the brain naturally get balanced by that length of time of crawling. But if they walk early, they sometimes become unbalanced between the left and right sides of the body. The crawling helps this balance, and walking assumes that it has been completed. At the same time, if a baby decides to walk early, it is not the end of the world. The baby can nd that balance in other ways as he or she grows up. In the same way, every magician will eventually nd the truth and be transformed. It really is not about good and bad, but rather about spiritual growth.

What I see as the biggest difference in actually performing either magic or miracles lies in the heart of the student. Magic, either Black or White, is focused from the will of the student. But the miracle comes from the heart of God. The student doesn't say, "I'm going to do this thing." The miracle just happens. At the same time, there could seem to be a crossover between personal will and God's will. For example, God could have made it clear that students are to pray for world peace. And then the students direct their will toward praying for world peace, using the knowledge of magic. But in this case, it is not magic, it is a miracle, for the source is God. In reading this, you may have realized something about yourself and your own spiritual path and actions. Whatever you have noticed, don't worry. God loves every single person, and knows that eventually you will nd what you have truly been seeking. Be easy on yourself. Trust in Life. For Life itself is a Miracle!

The Meaning of Immortality


Christians believe that Jesus died and then resurrected his body into another world. The Tibetan Buddhists and most of the Hindu religions believe that after we die, we continue on in a particular state of consciousness, from which we are reborn on Earth through the act of reincarnation. But they do not believe that the conclusion of life is found in reincarnation - only that life must do this in order to nd its way into the higher levels of consciousness. And, nally, many of the New Age communities of the present era believe that we are all about to pass through ascension - again, into a New World. What is the meaning and purpose behind this way of thinking? Is it real? Or do we just die, never to be seen again? Reincarnation, Resurrection, Ascension. Let's rst dene the three terms we use to refer to the possibilities

that we believe can occur in leaving the physical plane. Reincarnation takes place when a person dies who is not prepared to pass permanently into the higher realms. In this case, the Soul, after spending a certain period of time in a ''world'' that has been created just for this purpose (I believe it is located in the 4th dimension), comes back to Earth and is reborn as a human baby. This begins the life cycle all over again, where the Soul has another opportunity to acquire the wisdom it needs before it can continue into the higher levels of consciousness. This cyclic process continues through many lifetimes until the Soul learns how to transcend into the higher worlds. At that point, reincarnation becomes like a toy to a child: It is forgotten and replaced with either resurrection or ascension. Resurrection begins when a Soul has reached a certain level of awareness of the Reality, but has not fully become aware of what the ancients called the Mer-Ka-Ba and modern groups refer to as the human Light Body. In this mode, when someone dies, he or she knows enough to reconstruct the body, continue into the higher worlds, and reach immortality. But it is accomplished from a view of Reality that does not fully perceive the full nature of the Light Body. Ascension is achieved when a Soul has mastered the human Light Body, or Mer-Ka-Ba, while still alive in a human body. This feat usually takes many hundreds if not thousands of lifetimes to master. Once it is fully understood and lived, Souls leaving this world go directly into the higher worlds, without dying in the normal manner. When the time is right, they simply disappear, body and all, seemingly ''into thin air'' - and reappear in the higher worlds. They don't reconstruct their bodies; they take them physically with them. From this way of perceiving, it is necessary to have a body in the next world, for the adult human form in this world becomes a ''baby'' in the next. This is why it is so important to have the body with us. Consider Egyptian practices and those of Christianity, for example. Notice that they both focus on keeping the body. We Exist to Explore All Possibilities .Is one path more important than another. Does it matter which way we die?

My teachers say that ultimately it does not matter at all. Why? Isn't it a higher conscious path to use ascension, rather than simply to die? Their answer would be this: God gave life the mandate to try all possibilities in creation. This is obvious when anyone with an open mind looks into Nature. Crystals, which are still changing, try every way to arrange the atoms into every possible atomic matrix to manifest all the possibilities of crystals. Diatomaceous Earth, one of the oldest life forms here, can be seen in every geometric pattern imaginable. Carbon life forms are constantly changing into new forms, trying all possibilities. Even viruses, which are purely geometric in their basic form, are constantly changing to try all possibilities. And so, seen from this perspective, life in dying and moving into the higher worlds tries all the possible ways. Perhaps one way takes more knowledge and wisdom. But in satisfying the prime directive, all ways are the same. Further, most of us believe in free will. And free will means that all options must be available. It means that we can choose either the good or evil paths and if both these polarities did not exist, free will could not exist. Can it ever be proved for certain that there are other worlds beyond this visible universe, and that ''Spirit's Greatest Adventure'' does not end with the death of the physical body? Are there really other dimensions? Are there parallel worlds? Is there a hidden side to life that we can't see from here? Are we immortal?

The Old Ones


We seek a future in outer space, while relinquishing the lifeline to our past. And yet it is this past - our ancestors - that contains the knowledge we must have to reach the stars.

The keepers of knowledge and wisdom


In many indigenous cultures, as in ancient times, the oldest people are considered the wise ones. As it was everywhere in times gone by, the old ones in these remote tribes are still respected and revered. They are the ones who advise the tribe in their political decisions. And they are the spiritual leaders who guide their people into the higher worlds. They are the grandfathers and grandmothers, and their advice is heeded, for it is they who possess the wisdom that comes only with long experience of Life. In all cultures of ancient times, the younger tribal members took care of the older ones when they could no longer do this for themselves. Wood, water, and food were left by their doors, with love and respect for their many years on Mother Earth. Simply to be old was once an honor. For it was understood that within the old ones were the secrets of Life and the memories that are the roots of our existence. Like most of today's indigenous tribes, all ancient peoples knew that we create our future by our dreams and our decisions, and that without the knowledge and wisdom of the old ones, these dreams and decisions could lead us to extinction. And so the grandmothers and grandfathers, holding their living remembrance of the past, used to help guide our steps to the future. But now, today, our old ones - unless they have made a bundle of money to protect themselves from their children and society - nd themselves useless and forgotten, waiting out their nal years alone in a nursing home. Nobody comes with reverence to ask for their wisdom. Nobody cares, not even their own children. For in today's world, youth is all that matters. Only youth is honored and

respected. Those who are no longer young do everything they can to disguise the fact, from plastic surgery to little red sports cars. Movies and the media bombard us, over and over, with this idea that youth is the reason for living and the purpose of Life.

The moment of the rose


In some ways, like a newly-unfolded rose, youth can legitimately be seen as the purpose of Life. Like the rose, we come in as a seed, the ovum, so tiny that it can scarcely be seen with the naked eye. And we grow to be born, coming as little babies from our mother's wombs - just as the seed of the rose grows to become a little sprig, pushing out of the earth. Humans and roses both grow until they become mature persons or plants. Then reproduction begins. The prospective mother becomes beautiful and sexually attractive, and every man's head turns. And at the same stage, the rose explodes into her majestic beauty, and the insects are magnetically pulled to her royal red center. In much of the world today, actions and values are based upon this moment of youth and sexual passion, with its rapid movement - even violence, aggressiveness - and, often, its complete lack of compassion. This is the behavior that characterizes the moment of sexual conquest. It is the posture that is tting when males challenge each other for the female. And yet this bursting into bloom, this fertile, pregnant moment of greatest passion, is the one aspect of Life - at the expense of all else - that the Western world has chosen to make into its god.

Aging and the Circle of Life


But does it work for an entire culture to enshrine this kind of youthful energy, holding on to it as the only true value and refusing to let go, seeing it as the Grand Prize of Life? What if the totality of Life has a purpose far beyond the outer images of the

world? What if our Life really is but one cycle in a spiral, just as the grandfathers say, a turning and turning and turning again that leads us back to Source? And what if, in order for us to remain true to our highest purpose, we must allow the old ones to make the turns when the turns should be made? So let's celebrate these old ones, who walk down the streets of every city in the world with their wrinkled old bodies and their untapped wisdom. The old ones are the past, but more importantly, they are the future. Our future. Except for the babies, who cannot yet speak to us, only they know how the Circle of Life completes itself. Only the old ones, participating actively in our lives, will be able to tell us when the time is right to make the turns.

This Shall not Affect Me


Drunvalo's Story of a Miracle Drunvalo told this amazing story that weekend. He wants you to know that it really happened. That it's true. The story concerns a man Drunvalo encountered once and noticed immediately because the man was surrounded - literally engulfed - in a blazing ball of bright white light. Drunvalo had never seen another human being with this kind of energy eld. So he stopped to commune with him. And they sat together for a while. Then they rose, bowed to each other, and parted, each to his own way.

Years later, at a workshop Drunvalo was leading in Japan, this same little "ball of light" walked into his seminar room and sat down. All heads in the room turned toward this man. And as he walked past people, they bowed to him. "Who IS that?" Drunvalo wanted to know. His seminar helpers looked at him in disbelief. "You don't know who THAT is?!!" Drunvalo said it was as though Robert Redford or the U.S. president had walked into a room in our own country. They simply could not believe that anyone would not recognize this man. "No. No, I don't know who that is. Who IS it?" So they told him. It turned out that he was was the most famous human being in Japan, known to every man, woman, and child. Famous for what? Simply for being alive! He should have been dead. For he had been in the drop zone of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima in 1945. He had been so close that he had actually seen the bomb falling. And he had survived. Not only had he survived, but he had remained whole, totally unscathed. And he had never suffered any radiation sickness or other negative effects from his experience. According to the people at that Japanese seminar, scientists have been testing this man periodically ever since. And the last Drunvalo knew of him, in the late 1990s, this man was still whole and free of radiation. Yet as a child, he had been found at or near the actual crater where the bomb hit. And he was totally unharmed. Untouched. How could that be so? The incredible truth is that this man as a little child actually thought that he

had the power to protect himself from anything at all. He simply didn't "know any better." When he saw the bomb descending, and realized that he had less than a moment to act, he threw his arms into the air, and declared - with all the deep inner knowing and power and God-beingness in his little heart -"THIS SHALL NOT AFFECT ME!" The Time Has Truly ComeToday, it seems as though we are living in the End Times that the prophecies have told us about. That everything we have been preparing for is upon us. For some of us, our hearts will be telling us to take precautions - storing food, creating a survival kit, making sure there is water available for ourselves and our families. And Drunvalo has said that he feels we must heed our guidance in these areas, and that as spiritual warriors it is important for us to be alert. And yet we must do whatever we do knowing that in the nal analysis, Love is enough. We are enough. At the Spirit of Ma'at, that is the ultimate truth that we see in this world, in this situation, at this time. Here then is a portion of Drunvalo's talk at the Prophet's Conference in 1998. It was titled: Love Is the Answer for Every Question. . . What is truly important here is your state of consciousness during this transition. Your consciousness can overcome any of the physical problems. See and live the Unity of Life. If you know there is only one God and that all life is intimately connected together, and if you see this unity everywhere, and, nally, if you live this unity in your everyday life, Mother Earth will protect you and carefully lead you into the next world. This is the great secret of Life and the protection that Mother Nature will provide. How is this achieved? By dropping the old consciousness of Good and Evil,

which we must do in order to enter the new higher consciousness. The old consciousness sees itself as being inside a body, and everything and everyone else as outside of itself. This way of seeing is an illusion. The Hindus call it Maya. Hermes of Ancient Greece once said, "As above, so below." This quote has become famous, and is just now being proven by science. The macrocosm and the microcosm reect each other. In the same way, another quote is important: ''As within, so without." The inside and the outside are connected. It is here where the important work will be lived, in realizing that what happens on the inside reects to the outside - and the other way around. This relationship is affected by our feelings. Fear creates a contracted state of being. Love creates an expanded state of being. When we are in fear and contracted, the outer world controls our inner world. When we are in love and expanded, the inner world controls our outer world. What happens when you lose your job? You go into fear and contraction, and it feels like the whole world is crashing in on you. The more you are in fear, the more difcult it is to nd a job. However, when you are in love and expanded, everything seems to naturally go right. People want you to work for them, because they want to be around you. There is a relationship. So the key to interdimensional survival is to remain positive and in love with life even when the outer world may seem hopeless. Know the perfection of Nature. At the same time and equally important, know and see that Great Spirit/Nature is alive and conscious of you. Develop communication within yourself with God. An example of indigenous understanding of this is that of the Kahunas in Hawaii. They believe that Nature is alive and conscious. The nal key is to bring this "connection" with Nature into yourself. Let your inner child-self emerge and "play" with Life. Meher Baba said it perfectly:

"Be happy, don't worry." Bashar put it in another way. He said to be happy for no reason. It is your childlike joy that will lead you home. Do you REMEMBER?

MerKaBa Vehicle of Ascention


In the Bible there is reference to Ezekiel and the wheels by which Ezekiel ascended into heaven. This was the Mer-ka-Ba. In the Torah, there is reference to the Merkavah (as it is spelled in Hebrew) which has two different meanings: One meaning is ''chariot,'' which is a vehicle; the other is the ''Throne of God.'' When the two denitions are combined, the true meaning comes to life.In Ancient Egypt, this primal pattern was called the Mer-Ka-Ba. It was actually three words, not one. Mer meant a kind of light that rotated within itself. Ka meant spirit, in this case referring to the human spirit. And Ba meant the human body - though it also could mean the concept of Reality that spirit holds. And so the entire word in ancient Egypt referred to a rotating light that would take the spirit and the body from one world into another.I once spent a couple of hours with Credo Mutwa, the spiritual leader of the Zulu tribe in Africa. He explained to me that Merkaba (one word) was a Zulu word meaning a space/time/dimension vehicle. He told me that according to Zulu legend his entire tribe had come from another dimension here to Earth using the Merkaba. In the modern world there are teachers worldwide - and I am one of them -

who are helping people remember the Mer-Ka-Ba. Thus begin a process in consciousness that will eventually translate us from the third-dimensional world into the next higher one through what is being called ''ascension.'' Ascension involves a process where the human body is transformed into light and translated by an incredible birth into a new world. It is achieved through a meditation that requires the mind, heart, body, and spirit to completely integrate in one pattern of light and transcend the human limitations of this reality. This concept of the Mer-Ka-Ba as an ascension vehicle is not new. It is very, very old. What actually is the Mer-Ka-Ba? Technically, it is an electromagnetic eld sitting at about four degrees Kelvin, found primarily within the microwave range - at least in the third dimension - that is entirely geometric in nature. Specically, the geometry used is called ''Sacred Geometry,'' as this particular geometry is found in the creation patterns of all things in Creation. The Mer-Ka-Ba eld is extremely complex, involving the ve Platonic solids and other sacred polyhedrons. It is believed to extend through all possible dimensional and parallel universes, and can possibly change its nature from electro-magnetic to whatever is appropriate. The blueprint of the Mer-Ka-Ba is found throughout nature, such as in this photo of a galaxy. One of the functions of the Mer-Ka-Ba, as we said, is to act as the vehicle to take the spirit and the body into the next world. However, this function - and most of the other possibilities - is impossible to obtain until something changes within the person. The Mer-Ka-Ba is situated around the human body like a three-dimensional geometric web that is dormant and nonfunctional, waiting for the right moment. When the spirit that inhabits the body remembers that it is there and begins to change certain aspects of itself, an incredible transformation begins to grow.It was believed in ancient times, and even written about by the Hebrews, that the Merkavah could be turned on by certain principles in

meditation. This involves breathing changes, and mind, heart, and body changes that alter the way a person perceives the Reality. From my perspective, it is the beginning of ''Enlightenment.'' And yet it is clear that the Mer-Ka-Ba can also be ''activated,'' as the New Agers say, by other methods beside the male-style instructions using the breathing changes mentioned above. It can also become functional through methods that are purely female. Through the true living of qualities such as love, faith, trust, truth, and compassion, the Mer-Ka-Ba can spontaneously become alive. In other words, very pure human character can translate into a living Mer-Ka-Ba eld around the person, even if that person doesn't initially know it is there. And yes, absolutely, the Mer-Ka-Ba is alive. It is a living eld, not a purely mechanical eld of energy. Because it is a living eld, it responds to human thought and feeling, which is the way to connect to the eld. So the ''computer'' that guides the Mer-Ka-Ba is the human mind and heart. The possibilities are endless.At a certain and specic moment (not necessarily in this lifetime), a person's Mer-Ka-Ba eld can become alive. When this happens, an electro-magnetic change occurs which results in a disc of energy that comes out from a tiny place near the base of the spine and quickly expands to about 27 to 30 feet in radius around the body. This disc can easily be perceived by scientic means, and if the United States Airforce is correct it can be put up on their computer screens via satellite. In other words, the military can see people who activate their Mer-Ka-Bas, and watch as they move around the surface of the Earth. Since the number of people who have done this is now in the millions, it is a fairly common sight now. It is the enormous magnetic burst that results from the disc expanding that brings attention to itself. This can easily be made invisible by people who activate their Mer-ka-Bas, if they so desire.

The knowledge of the Mer-Ka-Ba is well known by most of the more powerful governments of the world. I am certain that our government used the Mer-Ka-Ba in the 1943 Philadelphia Experiment and the 1983 Montoc Experiments - in their mind-control experiments and dimensional explorations, and in controlling weather. And I am equally certain that Russia is using the Mer-Ka-Ba in their spy programs and defense systems. But regardless of government experimentation, Mother Earth, the human race, and we as individuals can prot from this understanding and knowledge. The remembering of the Mer-Ka-Ba is unfolding all over the world. From my point of view, this unfoldment is all part of the evolving cosmic DNA. The Mer-Ka-Ba will be remembered now because this is the time to remember. Yes, I believe, as did almost all the ancient civilizations, that there are specic moments in the history of mankind where great jumps in human understanding take place, as in the ancient Sumerian, Egyptian, and Indus Valley civilizations. I truly feel that we have arrived at another one of these grand moments of human history where brilliant light expands around the world, and another huge leap in human consciousness appears. And, my friends, I truly believe, from my own personal experience, that the Mer-Ka-Ba is a doorway or a dimensional window into a higher level of consciousness that could be the catalyst for this great change called ascension. So, to close, I will say again: Your character is the key to your ascension. Regardless of who you are at this moment, good or bad, you can change your character. Like losing weight, it is completely within your control if you focus. In changing yourself, your Mer-Ka-Ba can become alive. And once it is alive, everything is possible.

Drunvalo and the Melchizedek


Even though you may travel in the merkaba to other dimensional levels, if your consciousness is not developed enough to handle the higher vibrational levels, you will not be able to stay there. Certain beings, however, have managed to move through all the dimensional levels and remain conscious. The act of learning how to be stable and conscious in all 144 dimensional levels (the twelve dimensions and the twelve harmonic overtones of each of them) teaches them how to go across the great wall and into the next octave. The person then comes out the other side and sees the big picture, with the realization that all of creation repeats itself over and over. At that point they have a decision to make-to go beyond creation and back to the source, or to remain here. If they remain, they are called Melchizedek. Life then uses them to heal inter-dimensional problems. Currently there are about ten million Melchizedeks in the galaxy, and there are ve on planet Earth.

Life and Death


I was living in the high desert north of Taos, New Mexico. It was, I believe, 1992. I remember the sky was clear and blue, and I can still taste the dry desert air as I breathed softly and rhythmically. That morning I had been meditating longer than I usually did, and as I slowly came back into my body I could feel a presence directly in front of me. I opened my eyes, and there was my mother. I had never seen her like this before, shimmering in a golden light. What I mean is, my mom was not a psychic person. She had been a Catholic all her life, and never really believed in psychic phenomena. She didn't even

understand the concept of astral projection. But there she was, looking me straight in the eyes, when I knew her body was in California. I have to admit, I could hardly believe my mom was there. Never in all my life had I seen her do anything on this level. She was 89 years old and was gently but surely losing her life-force energy. She was dying. A few months before this psychic visit in New Mexico, my sister Nita had related a story about my mom to me. Nita said that one day she went to see her, and that mom was excited about something but was reluctant to talk about it. Nita nally drew out the reason for her excitement. It seems that Mom had found out that she could lift out of her body and y around the house, and that it was the most fun she had had in years. My sister was a 13th degree Rosicrucian and was well familiar with these concepts and experiences, but was shocked to nd our mother at 89 years of age exploring these areas of consciousness. My mother told Nita that she discovered that she could y right through the walls and go into a room where Dad was doing something, and she could watch him. She said that she even could go into the kitchen and watch television while her body was lying in bed in her bedroom. Mom wanted to know if it was okay to do this. Of course Nita simply told her the truth, that it was natural. Nita said that Mom told her that one of the last things she wanted to do before she died was to go back to Texas and visit the grave of her brother. Nita knew that she could no longer physically travel, so she said to her, ''Do you know that you can y outside of this house?'' Mom said, ''Really?'' She had never thought of that. Nita told her that she could y anywhere she wanted, that it was easy. So I'm sure she visited her brother's grave. But guess where else Mother ew: straight to my house in New Mexico. As I opened my eyes and found my mom ethereally standing in front of me, I could see the joy lling her body. It instantly made me feel happy and very safe. The words came out of my mouth on their own, and I said, ''Mom, what are you doing here?'' She simply said, ''Just to visit you. I have always loved

you.'' I didn't know what to do, so I stood up and began to ask her questions about what was going on back home. It obviously was a subject Mom loved. She followed me everywhere I went, talking about the details of her life, and began to tell me everything. About how Dad was also very sick, and that she had not been having any fun until she found out about this little ying trick. She eventually went on and on and on about everyday events that happened long ago when I was little and how they were connected to the present. Almost all of her conversations and comments were about us kids and the family when we were all living together long ago. My mom and dad had six children, and her whole life was consecrated to the love within the family. I listened to her, seldom being able to get a word in, as she found life to be so beautiful and full of love, but always in the context of the family. Not once did she talk about anything as though it were wrong or bad. She just loved life. I began to see her in a new light. I realized how beautiful a spirit she really was, and I began to love her even more. That night I prepared to go to sleep, and she just sat on the edge of the bed watching me as though she were protecting or guarding me. I kind of liked it. She asked me to go to sleep and to dream happy dreams. The second and third days were a repeat of the rst, with Mom talking my ear off, but with a gentle love and caring. On the third day, I was beginning to think that she was going to just stay with me, but she said. ''No, I will leave soon. Don't worry.'' In the middle of the night of the third day, about 1:30 a.m., my sister Nita called me to let me know that my mom had just died about an hour before. I have to admit, I wasn't surprised. I was halfway expecting something like this. I turned from the phone and there was my mom, smiling, still with me. She said, ''Just go back to sleep, everything is just ne.'' And so I could see that, indeed, everything was ''just ne,'' and I lay down and went deep into

sleep again. The next morning I awoke, and my mom was still there. Her excitement had even increased. She said, ''Son, do you have any idea how beautiful death is? It is beautiful in every way. Why was I so afraid when I was alive? This is the greatest experience of my life!'' It took me a minute, but I noticed that she looked much younger and seemed to have a strong, healthy glow around her. But I didn't say anything to her. As I was thinking the thought, she said to me, ''Son, I trust you more than anyone, do you mind if I stay with you while I am going through this experience?'' I told her that I loved her and that, of course, I would do anything for her. I explained that I had a certain amount of experience in the dying process and what I knew to be true was that every person who dies must complete the ''dying'' process on Earth within four days. If she were to stay longer than that, she would not be able to continue into the higher worlds. She would stay on Earth as a ghost or spirit, and that was not a healthy prospect. She just looked into my eyes, and said, ''Honey, I completely trust you.'' So I began to prepare her for the adventure that was ahead. I knew that her spirit was so clean that I doubted she would have any troublesome karma to deal with. As it turned out, she didn't. I really don't believe she ever harmed anyone or anything in her whole life. She moved without leaving tracks! It was something that gave me powerful inspiration in my life. It seemed that each minute that went by on that rst day after her death, she kept getting happier and happier. Also, she really seemed to be growing younger and younger. By the end of that rst day, she really looked like she was about 45 years old and had the energy to match. I didn't say anything for I had never experienced anyone dying so up-close-and-personal. Perhaps this was normal. The morning of the second day, however, it was too obvious that she was truly growing younger. I had to say something. She looked and acted as though she were about 30 years old. She was so beautiful, and simply

glowing with excitement about life - or should I say, death. She said to me rst, ''How do you like me at this age? Do you think I look good?'' Naturally, my heart opened, and I told her that she was gorgeous. But I couldn't help asking her what was going on in her experience. She said that she decided that she didn't like being old and was making herself younger. She immediately said, ''It's okay, isn't it?'' No reason I could think of why not, so I told her ne, and told her once more how great she looked. On the third day after her death we talked about the higher worlds, which she knew almost nothing about except what the church had told her. That knowledge was practically useless, as it never talks about direct experience except in the context of Jesus. At least the Tibetan Buddhists have the Tibetan Book of the Dead, but the Catholics have nothing. Even the ancient Egyptians had their Book of the Dead, which describes what to expect after you die and the best way to proceed. My mother was completely unprepared. I did my best for her. On the fourth day, I told her that she must leave the Earth on this day. Some people complete the dying process in two and half days and some as long as four. My mom was taking her time. As I awoke on the fourth day, my mom had been sitting on the edge of my bed, and she appeared about twelve years old. I remember being startled. I knew it was my mom, but it seemed so strange to see her as a child. I said to her, ''What are you doing? This is ridiculous!'' She said, ''I agree with you, twelve is too young.'' And so over the next two or three hours she stopped getting younger and began to grow older. She quit when she reached about eighteen years old. Mom said, ''Look at me. This is perfect. I loooove this age.'' She was absolutely beautiful and sexy. I had never thought of my mom in this way before. It was as though her life was just beginning. And in a very real manner, it was. I knew that she was about to be born in another world. The rest of that fourth day, Mom followed me everywhere I went, but I

purposefully stayed at home and kept people away. To me, this was one of the most important events of my life, and I needed privacy. My sister had called to let me know that my mother was being buried in California, but I had been talking with Nita each day and she knew that mom was with me and fully understood why I was not going to her funeral. I couldn't leave Mom to go to her funeral, that would be silly. She needed me in this hour right where I was. On this last day, Mom made a decision that was completely unexpected for me. She said that she wanted to go back and see Dad one more time. She told me that she was going to try to convince him to leave with her. And then she disappeared for the rst time in about a week. I was alone. Two hours later she reappeared with my father. She was looking young, incredible and bubbling with life, but Dad was looking old and tired and lled with fear. He could see me, but all this was extremely new for him. He was so afraid that he could hardly talk. Mom was talking fast with excitement and telling him that dying was beautiful and for him not to be afraid. She wanted him to come with her so much, but Dad was becoming more and more lled with fear so that he couldn't even respond to her. Finally, he simply said, ''I'm sorry, but I don't understand any of this, and I must go back home. I love you, but I must go.'' And he disappeared. My Mom showed her rst sign of sadness since I had seen her in this way. But she quickly rebounded with her excitement. She said, ''It's just not the right time for him.'' As it turned out, Dad stayed alive for another two years. But it was clear that the only thing keeping him alive was his fear of death. I never connected with my Dad as I had with my mom. He just slipped away. About an hour after my dad's visit on that fourth day, Nita called me and said that my dad had been taken to the hospital with a stroke. It was then conrmed that he had been unconscious during the exact time that he was visiting Mom and me. I'd been wondering how she had talked Dad into

coming here. At night on that last day, Mom and I prepared for her nal journey to her new world. It was dark outside with no moon, and the room we were in was lit only by a single candle. I made a little altar near my bed with the candle on it and both of us facing each other. I closed my eyes, and in my inner vision I could still see my mother. Stretching above us was the night sky with stars that seemed to be dancing in the heavens. The depth of space had never appeared so deep before. We both just looked up and quietly stared. At a certain moment I knew the time was right, and I looked at Mom and asked her if she was ready. She nodded and gave me a school-girl look of anticipation. She reached over and held my hand. We both looked up at the heavens again, and directly over our heads was a bright star that felt very different from all the rest. It was so bright, and had a cool blue color that seemed to reach all the way to our hearts. I knew it was the one. I asked Mom to focus on this star. After about ve minutes, Mom began to change her aura from violet to stark white with an edge of gold. I could feel it was about to happen. She turned and looked at me and said, ''I'm going to leave now, but I will be with you again when you are older. Don't forget me. I love you.'' With these words, she turned to the heavens and directed all her attention on this special star. And she began to rise off the Earth. I was compelled to move with her, and together we began to move away from the planet. But I only went with her for a few seconds, when she shot away from me at an amazing speed that appeared to me more like a comet heading ''Home.'' And then there was a blinding ash of brilliant white light that lled my whole eld of vision. It lasted for only a second or two, and then everything went dark and black. I was alone.

As I sat there in my room in the darkness, my mind began to think. Why is it so dark? So I opened my eyes to nd a totally dark room. I turned on the light and found that at the very moment that my Mom chose to return to heaven, the one candle in my room had run out of wax. You know, when a candle runs out of wax, it rst gets brighter with a huge ame and then dies. That was the third dimensional explanation of the ash of white light and then darkness. It just seemed so appropriate. I always loved my mom, but in her death we became so close. I believe her when she says she will visit me when I am older. I am waiting and knowing that she is in the right place for her.

It's so clear, there is no death, only a continuation to higher and higher worlds that always returns Home to God. Life and death are beautiful and part of a single circle.

Interview with Drunvalo


By Marie Allizon / http://www.4dshift.com/7thdru.htm Marie: During our last interview some time ago, you did not seem as optimistic about what is happening in the world as you are today. What has changed? Drunvalo: I know we are going to make it because I have been allowed to see into the future. However, even though I optimistically say "we make it" we are still going to pass through this little "eye of the needle" where it is going to look like it is hopeless. And they [my guides] wouldn't let me see what this was - but something happens and what looks so hopeless turns around very quickly.

Marie: Is it like the three days of darkness that we used to talk about? Drunvalo: No, this doesn't have anything to do with that. It looks as if the outer environment we live in will completely and totally die, as well as everything in it. We are going to come to that stage. So it is going to look hopeless. My angels didn't show me that part of it. All they would say is that you are going to witness in your life a place where it looks like it is just over. Then this "thing" is going to happen. And the world situation is going to be quickly and completely turned around. Marie: In the workshop you spoke about "waves" of people who will die. Can you explain what you were talking about? Drunvalo: The waves are spoken about in Native American prophecy. There was an American Indian from a long time ago that was allowed to go to all the various tribes and secret societies (the Grandmother societies) and to collect and write down the prophecies from these tribes to nd out what they had in common. He found one thread which ran through all the prophecies which talks about the time which is approaching. There are three waves of people on the earth who are said to die in a very short amount of time. I don't know what that is about exactly, but when I was reading about it, it felt like it occurs in about 10 days time. Something very quick - something VERY BIG happens and kills an enormous number of people. Outwardly it looks horrible. It could be Atomic war, the bird u or who knows what. Outwardly, to the survivors, it looks like a catastrophe, but inwardly the people who leave this way have planned it. They want to leave, and they want to leave together. When they collect over the top of the earth, the rst wave goes to a specic place in time/space dimension so they can be with their own kind. Because they are not really in tune with the Earth they can be in harmony together (elsewhere). Then it is said that there is another bigger change coming with another wave of people leaving the planet. Again this is by choice on the inner levels - not

a kind of suicide - but on the inner these people know something is about to occur and they come together in order to go to another place in space time. In the third wave, a massive amount of people die. This group called "hitchhikers" in the prophecies doesn't know where their home is so they leave, looking for that place and eventually they do nd their home. After these waves pass there are only millions (not billions) of people left in the world - a much smaller number. The people that are left over will come together in one heart according to Native American prophecy - they become as one living being. Regardless of race or religion, all the divisions are dropped and the remaining people become as one family. Then, with this new found higher consciousness, those that are left take the earth and they y it - as if the earth is turned into a space ship which is own to a new place, and a beautiful new way of living emerges on earth. Marie: So the actual earth is used as a space ship... so do you mean that Mother Earth is going to clean herself in this process? Drunvalo: Yes, everything is solved. We totally x everything through pure Consciousness, not through technology or anything like that but through our very being. From a Melchizedek point of view, we actually change orbit. Marie: In our last interview you said that we move into a parallel earth and then another parallel earth, and so forth. Has this theory changed or evolved? Drunvalo: All I am saying is this is a Native American prophecy. The Melchizedeks believe there is more to this - a lot more. But the idea with the Native American prophecy is that most of the people are going to die and leave the earth and go somewhere else. This may very well happen - I just don't know for sure. I am just saying that many tribes have this in common. Marie: But hearing you this week, it feels like humanity (we) will be "going home"...

Drunvalo: Oh, yes, because after that, we leave the earth altogether. There comes a point where we completely leave the earth, we transcend it, we go into another level of existence and that is the beginning of a very rapid, but very long journey. And we end up completely beyond the stars and planets. We end up existing in another way and in another octave of existence. Marie: Do we leave with our body? Drunvalo: Initially we do. We leave with our body and then our body mutates into something that would look more like an ET. After that we become Everything. But that is only the beginning of the journey. Marie: That's exciting! That is what Barbara Marx Hubbard is talking about in her new DVD "Humanity Ascending". We can't keep going on in the way we are today. It is sick. You mentioned that in the case of the end-of-theworld prophecies of August 99, that they were wrong for the rst time. I was wondering ... since everyone seems to be saying that something is happening "soon, soon, soon", do you feel this [end-of-the-world scenario] will be happening before February 2013? Drunvalo: Yes, and for many South American tribes, there is even a prophecy about this year - 2007. I don't want to say what that prophecy - I'll let them say it - but there are many indigenous tribes expecting much change to take place this year. So I think between now and 2013 we will be going through a lot of transformation. Marie: I personally watch the galactic center and Pluto at 29 degrees Sagittarius so I wouldn't be surprised if it happens around those dates (12/28/07). So are you saying there may be several stages, you know like Phase I, Phase II, Phase III? Drunvalo: It does go in stages. It isn't something that goes like that (Druvalo snaps his ngers). You never see a plant grow from a seed to a big tree instantly. Life always moves in segments though sometimes those segments can be pretty big and sometimes very violent. But the primary thing I hope people will realize is that they will be ne. The most important thing right

now that I can see is to nd the sacred place in the heart. If you can remember the ancient way of living and get into that sacred place, and just sit and watch all of this like a movie and not have to be concerned in any way at all. Remember Mother Earth knows who these people are that are going to become the one heart. Really the better way to say it is one lotus. This place in the heart has always been referred to as the lotus. And when you nd your way there, Mother Earth will completely take care of you and protect you and provide everything for you. Even though everything outside seems to be insane, it will be miraculous. Marie: How can we best prepare? Drunvalo: I don't think anybody can prepare on a physical level. It isn't possible to prepare for what is about to happen. You see, nobody knows. The preparation is inside of you. That's the primary place. Have you read about what the Pentagon says is going to happen? The Pentagon gives us one to three years left of normal life on this planet. That's their guess. Everybody's guessing. No expert on this planet can tell you what's going to happen, or exactly when. In the last 250 million years, we only have two examples we can understand to see what is going to happen. You have all the ocean currents of the world slowing down, and denitely the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean appears to be stopping. The last time it slowed down was in the 1300s, and it did exactly what it is starting to do now - crazy weather - hot/cold, dry/wet. In the 1400s, especially the West went through a period where there were 47 years without a drop of rain. Every river, every lake, and every tree burned to the ground. And that's why the Anasazi had to leave. They couldn't live there. This is all on record. And the East became extremely cold. If you look at George Washington crossing the Delaware, there are blocks of ice oating in the river, recorded in paintings of this scene. We think that our weather has always been this way. But this weather has

only been this way since 1850. It took 550 years for the weather to come back to the way it is now. Okay. I could go into great detail and spend hours on that subject, but that's being pretty much what is projected down the road. Or folks could look on the Spirit of Ma'at website and read about Dry/Ice: Global Warming Revealed. Now you have Al Gores movie "An Inconvenient Truth", whom I nd very optimistic, as he gives us ten years. But I don't know a single scientist on the planet who gives us ten years or anybody else who gives us that long. What the Pentagon talks about is the rapid changes in climate, making it impossible to live in certain areas. Exactly where those areas are, they don't know. All they can do is go back to those last two times in history and see what happened. But will it be the same? Maybe - maybe not. What they do know is that there will be areas that will be uninhabitable. The time before last, where it stopped, which is what we think it is doing now, the place which is now New York City was uninhabitable. It went under about a mile of ice. You can't live under a mile of ice. It's just not possible. In fact, Norway, Denmark and Sweden went under ice and the Pentagon's predicting that they'll also be under a half mile of ice soon. Marie: Does very soon mean within three years? Drunvalo: It will begin soon. There will probably be a constant storm that never goes away - a time where it is winter, all the time. So, people will have to leave that area. It is the migration patterns that the Pentagon is mostly worried about. Because you are going to have billions of people forced to leave from where they are and will have to try to survive somewhere else. This causes everything to collapse. No more food in the grocery stores - the economy collapses, etc. You can't grow food when this begins, because there's no beginning and ending to the growing seasons. Plants go crazy, and food then becomes one of the most important commodities. Marie: So a solution may be to learn how to breathe and stop eating? Drunvalo: It is a good stepping stone. There is a book in Germany, published

by my new publisher showing how in 9 months you can learn to go without food and water. You totally get your nutrients from the prana and air so you can live completely without anything. Yogananda is about to demonstrate that to the world. Everyone thinks he is dead. He's not dead. When Yogananda "died" in the 1950s, all of his bodily functions stopped. After 20 days, according to mortuary ofcials, his body appeared completely normal, but he wasn't breathing, no heart beat, nothing. At some point he's going to wake up and say, See? I've been sleeping for 50 something years with no food, no water, nothing and I am ne. That's Kriya yoga. That's the effect of working with the devas and light energy of Mother Earth. That's our God-given right though most people don't seem to believe this. Marie: During your workshop we learned about getting out of our mind and into our heart and operating from the sacred place in the heart. You explained how the mind works in duality and while existing in the heart, we just "are" [pure being]. If all the participants of your workshops practiced your heart meditation, would this energy expand exponentially, helping all of us to eliminate fear and transition smoothly? Drunvalo: It will help get rid of fear but that is not exactly how it works. Mother Earth is changing the world. She is in control now, so we don't have to do anything but just be of service. If she says to do something, okay we do it, and if she doesn't, then we can relax. We've won the game, everything is almost in place. Everything is in balance. There are things to do, but they will be taken care of ... We just have to keep moving. But a time is coming when sitting in a restaurant like this is going to be a memory. We won't be able to do this and the most important thing I'm concerned about in this time is that good light workers don't go into fear and think "oh, it is all over". No, it is just beginning. Stay out of fear and just believe in the presence of God. We will probably lose a few people during that time, because if you go into fear then it is over.

When everything starts breaking down, the Taos Indians say, go into your house, apull the drapes so you don't see all the craziness going on, which could cause fear. And just stay in your heart and let Mother Earth and all the energies that you are intimately part of do their job and stay in trust.nd It is easy to say and harder to do. It is just like when you get cancer or something like that and people are told that they are going to die, and then they get really worried. But we are immortal. We've always been alive and we are going to get through this one. Remember it is a time of transition. Transitions always get crazy. Stay out of fear and be in the presence of God. I'm staying with Earth. Where we are going as a planet is where I came from. That's why I was sent here, because there had to be a memory connection to it. So now, the ascended masters have made their way back to that place. Some of them HAVE come back here, so humanity has already got the path and the understanding. It is already in us. It is in who we are. It is in our very DNA at this point. Marie: I was fascinated by your sharing about the [earth's kundalini] energy moving out of Tibet. Then being stuck at the Panama Canal for a while and nally released - thanks to the help of hundreds of tribes ve years ago - and reaching Peru and Chile. Can you tell us more please - especially about the White Pyramid? Drunvalo: There was a White Pyramid in Tibet which the explorers have found. There was also one before that in Atlantis. Now the energy has moved to Chile. Somebody will physically build one there because it will become the most important place in the world. Marie: So when was the energy released from Panama? Drunvalo: It was September 2001, right about 9/11. But it took a longer period of time for it to reach South America, so it was sometime in mid-2002 when it actually arrived in Chile. There were 112 tribes forming a circle waiting for the energy. Since 2002,

everything has been completed. I'm writing a book about this now - so all these stories and everything around this whole subject will be coming out in print soon. Marie: Can you then talk about your next book? Drunvalo: The book is about the Kundalini of the Earth, its movement and everything that has happened with the indigenous tribes and the ceremonies relative to this new energy. It is a story of hope and inspiration because this is a very POSITIVE EVENT that is taking place. This is also a story of inspiration for the female because it is a story about the change of energies moving from the male to the female. Marie: On a last note, could you comment about Mikael Zayat's new oils the Archangel Series? Drunvalo: I did not try them all but I really like the oils called Archangel Metatron, and also Archangel Michael and Mary Magdalen. Divine Feminine and Fearless have a nice aroma. If you are drawn to something, then that is good for you. But you know me, I like all the Mikael Zayat oils. I like also crystals, but somewhere down the line, we need to come to realize that the human body has everything all by itself. We don't even need food. You will reach a point when you don't need all this. You will just stay in your heart and just BE. Marie: Thank You so much http://www.4dshift.com/7thdru.htm Drunvalo. By Marie Allizon /

Thoth
He did leave for about 2,000 years and traveled to various planets. He would arrive at a planet and sit there for a hundred years or so, observing and learning how the inhabitants did things. Then he would go to another one, until he nally returned here. His vow was to remain here on Earth until we reached a certain level of consciousness. We have now reached that level, so Thoth left this planet on May 4, 1991. Evidently, what happened before, during, and after the Gulf War was a culmination of something. The light on the planet is now stronger than the darkness for the rst time in 16,000 years. Even though we don't see it yet, the power balance has shifted and the laws have reversed themselves. Now when negativity resists the light, which is its very nature, instead of overpowering the light it gives more power to the light and we get stronger. So hang on! Thoth's most famous act was introducing writing to the planet. He was called "the scribe" in Egypt, for he is the one who wrote all the ancient history down. That is why Drunvalo was sent to him. Most of Drunvalo's information about us and our history comes from Thoth. Thoth was always quick to point out that he may not have it 100 percent accurate, but his account is probably pretty close to what actually happened. Drunvalo rst met Thoth in 1972. He was studying alchemy-that is, how to turn mercury or lead into gold-not for the purpose of making money but to observe chemical reactions. All chemical reactions have parallels in life somewhere on one level or another. By understanding chemistry and the way atoms combine to form molecules, and how these molecules recombine, you can see in tiny detail how larger operations happen. True alchemy is primarily understanding how our level of consciousness goes into Christ consciousness. Drunvalo was studying this system with a master. One day they were doing

an open-eye meditation. After one hour, Drunvalo's teacher disappeared from the room. In two to three minutes a completely different body formed right in front of Drunvalo. This person was short, about ve-feet-three-inches, and he looked about seventy years old. His appearance was ancient Egyptian and he wore very simple clothing. Drunvalo especially remembers his eyes, which were just like a baby's, very soft with no judgement. He told Drnvalo there were three atoms missing in the universe and he wanted Drunvalo to nd them. Drunvalo had an experience, which he will not describe, in which he understood what was meant. Thoth bowed, said thank you, and disappeared. A few minutes later the alchemist teacher reappeared. He knew nothing of this; in fact, he thought he had been there the whole time. Drunvalo didn't know then that the person that appeared to him was Thoth, and he didn't see him again until November 1, 1984. At that time they began to communicate regularly over several months.

Taos Pueblo Story


The story begins a long time before I met Jimmy, when I had a vision that was as real as this world. In the vision, twelve indigenous elders appeared to me, one after another. They imprinted their faces and features upon my mind so that I would never forget them. Twelve years later, I met one of these elders face to face. It happened while I was in a group of thirty other people at Lama Foundation retreat center in New Mexico. It was our rst day at this retreat center, and we were all strangers to each other. As we sat waiting for someone to show us to our rooms, a very old Indian man with a cane appeared over the edge of a mountainside.We watched the old man for fteen minutes as he slowly

made his way, step by step, to stand before us. He raised his head to look into our eyes. I immediately recognized this old man as the rst of the group of elders who had appeared to me in the vision twelve years before. And all the other thirty people also recognized him. We all fell to our knees at the same moment. This was Grandfather David of the Hopi Tribe. He was at that time the holder of the Hopi Prophecy, and a great man (he now lives in the next world, and others have taken his position). We could see in his eyes that he was tired and depressed. It seems that in the Hopi Prophecy it was stated that Grandfather David would meet the true White Brotherhood. But this had not happened to him yet, and it was late in his life. But when he looked into our eyes, we could see that he recognized us just as we recognized him. His face slowly changed, and a wide, beaming smile appeared. In an excited voice he announced that this was his birthday. So for the next thirty days we drummed, danced, and sang a ceremony of joy. And Grandfather David took each of us aside and told us our part in the unfolding human drama of these times. Six weeks later, while I was still at Lama -- I had decided to live there -another old Indian walked into the room where I was working, and again, I recognized him immediately. He was the second elder who had appeared to me in the long-ago vision. His name was Tellus Good Morning, and he was a beautiful spirit. He was the head of the Peyote Tribe on Taos Pueblo, and he was over ninety years old. He looked at me and asked me if I remembered him. I said that I did. He looked at the ground and gave me the message he had come to deliver. He told me I was to study with his son Jimmy Reyna. Soon after this I was in Albuquerque, New Mexico, just being a tourist. I was window-shopping, looking at old Western items, and I walked into an Indian store that carried handmade ware. As I was looking around the shop, I noticed an Indian walking around in the back room, and I looked in to say hello. He asked me to come into his room, where he was crafting the items of his trade, and when I was inside he pulled a curtain over the door. We talked

for a while, and I realized that he seemed very familiar. We both felt this, and could not gure out where we had met. He then turned to a corner of the room where a huge Eagle was suspended from a string as though it were in full ight. Hanging from the left claw, also by a string, was a large quartz crystal. It was as though the Eagle and the Crystal were in frozen ight. The Indian looked at me and said, ''Come over here and look at this crystal.'' And so I did. He reached up and gave the crystal a spin. Again, he told me to look at the crystal. As I gazed at the spinning crystal, it suddenly and instantly stopped with its point aimed directly at my heart. A brilliant ash of light, like a laser beam, shot out of the tip and entered my body. The old Indian slowly turned and looked me in the eyes. He put his arm around my shoulder, and said, ''Hello, brother.'' On the Taos Pueblo, I nally found Jimmy Reyna, and we became good friends. He called me ''Hot Fire'' -- I never knew why -- and the name stuck. It was Jimmy who took my name before the tribe, and then returned to tell me that they recognized me from a past life. In the late 1800s, I had been a Medicine Woman for the tribe. I remembered everything about this past life, almost every minute. And one thing I remembered was that I had made many agreements to serve this tribe in a future lifetime. I knew that I had many things to do for the tribe. And so, in this life, I remained on the Taos Pueblo for 14 years and helped them in every way that I could. I buried their dead, for they could not do this because of their beliefs. I went to their ceremonies, and chanted with them. I loved them, and they taught me so much about life and Mother Earth. Jimmy taught me the Medicine Wheel and how to make rain. He showed me how plants could remember songs, and would grow with rhythm and music, not needing water. It was the tribe, I learned, that had opened the door for the angels to come into my life and guide me, long before I had even arrived at the Pueblo.

One day I was on the Pueblo, and I had just pulled my pickup over to the side of the dirt road. I looked a quarter mile ahead, and I could see a big old Indian walking his horse down the side of the road. As he came closer I could see that it was Jimmy. Except on this day Jimmy was radiating light, an aura that was much brighter than I had ever seen around him before. I jumped out of my truck, and walked over to meet him. I said to Jimmy, ''What has happened to you? I have never seen you with so much light.'' It was truly amazing. Jimmy gave me a big hug, and then kind of leaned back against his horse, and began to tell me the story of what had just happened to him. If you understand this story, I believe that life could begin all over again for you. Jimmy said that his father, Tellus Good Morning, had called him into the Kiva a week before. The Kiva is an underground, sacred space for prayer and meditation. It's a place where you can be with the Mother. In the Kiva, Tellus said to Jimmy that he was about to tell him to do the most important thing he had ever done in his life. This father then said to his son that he had a message to deliver -- a message that had been sent to him three generations ago by his great grandfather, passing from father to son for four generations to reach Jimmy. In this dark place of the Kiva, Tellus told Jimmy to go to the sacred lake of the Pueblo, called ''Blue Lake.'' He was to take one friend. At the lake, he was to undertake a certain mission. Tellus told Jimmy that he must not come home from the lake until this mission had been accomplished. Obviously, Jimmy wanted to know what it was that he was supposed to do. The answer seemed simple enough: He was to nd a cave -- a hidden cave -where something was waiting for him. Something that had been left there for him by his Great Grandfather.

Jimmy loved his father and did what his father told him to do. And so he went and found one of his best friends, Phillip, to go with him. The two of them packed up food and everything they would need for an extended stay. They slid onto their horses' backs and headed up into the mountains for the twenty-seven-mile ride to the most sacred spot on the Taos Pueblo. When they arrived, Jimmy said, they began to search the entire area for any possible hidden cave. For three days, they slowly went over every square inch of the land near this lake. They found nothing. They went back over the area again, even though they knew that it was hopeless. Finally, Phillip gave up and said that he had to leave. He urged Jimmy to come with him, but Jimmy would not disobey his father. He stayed to continue the search. When Phillip had gone, Jimmy went down to the edge of the lake where he made a small medicine wheel and prayed to his Great Grandfather. He told him that he didn't know what to do, and asked for help. In that moment, his Great Grandfather appeared to him and simply said that Jimmy should get on his horse and drop the reins. Without hesitation, Jimmy got on his horse and let his horse go free, completely trusting his Great Grandfather's word. The horse turned and slowly ambled around at the water's edge, then began walking along the rim of the lake until they had reached the other side. There, the horse turned from the lake and began to walk between two small mountains and through a space no more than twenty feet wide. It was a narrow box canyon, with no way out. The canyon sides became steeper and higher as they continued. Then, suddenly, the horse stopped and would not budge. Jimmy later told me that in that moment, he understood many things on a very deep level. Bringing the shovel he had with him, Jimmy got off his horse and began walking up the 45-degree slope of the mountain that rose at

his left. After a while he found a certain spot and, with great conviction, he began to dig away the rocks and soil that were there. The spot he was working on, Jimmy said, looked just like any other spot on this side of the mountain. It was completely undistinguished. He dug about three feet into the earth, and a tiny hole appeared. As he dug deeper, the hole widened. Soon, there was an opening almost four feet across, and he could see a small cave. And there before him in that hidden cave, Jimmy found himself gazing at crystals and fetishes and other sacred power objects, all laid out in an intricate pattern. These objects had been left there for him by his Great Grandfather, four generations ago! His Great Grandfather had been a Medicine Man for the tribe, and could see into the future. He knew that the Tribe would almost lose everything, but that a time would come when that which had been lost, would be restored. His Great Grandfather also could see that his own son would have a son who would bear a child named Jimmy. And so he gave his son the message to pass on to his own son, Tellus Good Morning. Tellus would deliver the message to Jimmy that the cave was here, and that Jimmy was to nd the cave and retrieve the sacred power objects of his Great Grandfather. The old Medicine Man had placed his power objects in a precise pattern, which contained within it the knowledge of how to use them. And he had placed his protection over this cave, until the distant time when this great grandson would arrive who had not yet even been born. Jimmy went inside the cave, and there, in the midst of the crystals and carved fetishes and other sacred objects of power, he had an experience that changed his life forever. (When I asked him what had happened, he lowered his head and said he could not tell me.) And so, when I saw Jimmy walking with his horse down the road on the Pueblo, his body was lled with light. He had just returned from Blue Lake. And I was the rst person he had met.

Our world is more than we know. We think it is some ''thing.'' We think it is solid. A young child knows it is uid, and that it is really alive. A child knows this because a child does not know separation from God. A child sees the Reality as pure light and consciousness. We extinguish this light and this knowing by our mistaken beliefs, and we replace it with a myth of darkness. We think a child knows nothing. But God is within a child, and all around. It is we who cannot see. Do you remember your ancestors? Do you know their names and what they did for you? Please understand that all life is connected. Your actions now create the world in which your children's children will be forced to live. Your children's children will be forced to respond to the actions you take now. The world in which your children's children live will be the one your actions create as you read these words. The simple ways of the Native Americans are their greatest gift. For they know the truth. And we, the so-called civilized ones, thinking we are so great, have much to learn from them if we wish to walk in ways that will keep ourselves and our Mother Earth alive. Do you understand?

Crop Circles A Teaching from Merlin


In 1993 I traveled to England to see for myself this crop circle phenomenon that I had been watching for many years from afar. Was it real? And if it was, what did it mean? If whoever was creating these circles were not humans, who were they? And further, why was this being done at this moment in history? What was really going on? My questions could go on for pages. I wanted to feel and experience what it was like standing in one of these circles. Somehow I felt that I would understand more if I were there.I went to

England to stay for a month. It was to be the rst time my feet would touch English soil, and I was excited. During the rst week, I gave a Flower of Life workshop. After that, I was free to follow my inner guidance and seek the source of this art that the English call "corn circles. "My body seemed to know exactly what to do, and so I allowed it to guide me. I was thus "pulled" to ancient Stonehenge. This site is over 5,000 years old, but the energy, if you can feel it, is still perfectly dened. The circles the rings of energy - I found to be clearly distinguishable. They were like thin circular walls of energy, perhaps even domes, separated by a short space of a few feet, centering on Stonehenge but extending far beyond it. I was intrigued. I had felt something very similar in another ancient temple called Sacsayhuaman in Peru. According to my Peruvian guide, it was these rings of energy that had caused the Incas to build Sacsayhuaman where they did. And I instinctively felt that it was the same with Stonehenge, that they had placed the stones in these circles to match the energy eld. Psychically, it seemed so clear. The next day, I went to Avebury, one of the largest stone circles in England. I really had no choice. The energy just pulled me there, lightly tugging at my heart.That night, I slept in an old English stone inn with a thatched roof, where the primary entertainment was drinking beer and talking with friends. I remember feeling so vibrant. I could sense this interaction with my own energy eld, and the elds rst in Stonehenge and now in Avebury. Whatever form of communication was taking place here in this land, it was of a very high level. I was certain, at this point, that whoever was creating these crop circles knew that I was there. Early the next morning I sat in my room and meditated. . . just being. Then suddenly, like the click of a light switch, I came out of my meditation and dressed quickly to leave for the stone circles. It was quite abrupt, and I had this sense that I must hurry.Walking fast, I approached Avebury. But as I came close, everything slowed down, and I sensed that I was entering a

different state of consciousness. Now I was simply standing on the edge of these huge massive stones, in line with them, as though they were my brothers and sisters. They felt alive. The still morning air was absolutely silent. It was cool and slightly foggy. I just stood and witnessed. Again, my body felt as though it was being nudged, this time to begin walking to my right, counterclockwise around the stone circle.I moved from stone to stone, each one having a different "personality" of energy. Suddenly, a particular stone appeared, and I almost ran up to it, it was so familiar. I leaned my back up against it and slid down the cold, hard surface to the ground. My eyes closed, and I instantly went into a deep meditation. This was not planned or considered. It just happened. Avebury disappeared and a vast space opened before my eyes. In front of me, only a few feet away was an old man with a long white beard. He was wearing a purple and green robe holding a long stick in his right hand. Somehow, I knew this man. Though he was old, his eyes looked young and strong. It was clear that he was about to communicate something to me. In his mind, he spoke in a deep voice with a keen sense of authority. I could do nothing but listen. But the voice was speaking in Olde English with such a thick accent I could hardly understand what he was saying. I let him know my problem, but he just kept talking. Slowly, I began to "hear" him. He said his name was Merlin, and our spirits began to merge. I then knew what he was saying. I understood. He told me that he and his friends were making the circles in the crops. By "friends" he meant what we would call the "Ascended Masters." These people represent the highest and most developed levels of human consciousness. Merlin also said that sometimes a few of the circles were being made by ET races, but not very many. He then said that tomorrow he would prove it to me. His nal words to me were that if I wanted to understand the crop circles, I would have to understand the history of England.And with that he disappeared.

As I came back to the reality of the place where I was, it was like cold water being thrown in my face. It was shocking. I had been in such a deep trance that I "forgot" that I was in England at all. In a moment, I knew that something was going to happen soon that would be extraordinary, but I had no idea what it was going to be. A nal note: Later that day, I learned that the particular stone where I had had this vision was called the "Merlin Stone."

Exploration of the Past


With Merlin's words still ringing in my ears, I began to explore Avebury, and discovered many other aspects of this stone circle that are not very well known outside of England. For example, I found out about the "Michael and Mary" lines that determine the location not only of Avebury and Stonehenge but of most of the stone circles in England. These two curving, living lines of energy - one male and the other female - move across the island from shore to shore, never varying more than 500 feet from a straight line. As improbable as this may seem, it is fact. The "Michael" mentioned here is Archangel Michael and the "Mary" is Jesus' mother. I slowly became convinced that it is these Michael and Mary lines that must be studied to unravel the secret history that is unfolding and creating the crop circles. At least, this is what began to become clear to me as I walked within the circles. And I had been right. Just being within the circles changed one's consciousness. Information began to ood into me.Just to begin, there used to be 64 stone circles running from one end of England to the other, all within this straight Michael and Mary line. The Druids used these circles to maintain the balance of Mother Earth and nature. Many parts of Mother Earth's consciousness cooperated with the Druids to create this perfect balance. The Celts, and many before them, lived this balance of nature, and created ceremonies to nd the rhythm that was needed to continue living in balance

with all the cycles of the Earth. On the Spring equinox, for example, the Celts - who we call Pagans - would light a huge re on the most eastern stone circle at the exact moment of sunrise. As the sunrise moved to the next stone circle, another re would be lit. In this manner res were lit in sequence as the sunrise moved across the island, and this let the people of the country know that the ceremony of the Spring equinox was taking place. Then, in this ceremony which was called Beltane, people would go into the elds where their crops would grow for that year, and make love on the ground, lending their own procreative energy to that of the Sun and the Earth, and harmonizing with the energy of the moment. It was beautiful and simple.It is also powerful to observe in connection with crop circles that all of the Pagan religions were based on the growing of the crops and the timing of nature to this creative process. Perhaps this explains why crops are being used now to make these communications. The circles start when the crops begin to ripen and nish with the last harvest. It is denitely "food" for thought.

Early Christianity in Britain


Merlin had said that understanding crop circles involved understanding the "history of England." As we will see, part of this history relates to what happened during the life of Jesus and after the crucixion. Here is the story as I understand it from what Merlin told me. When Jesus was born, everything began to change. When Jesus was twelve years old, his rich uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, took him to England to the island of Avalon (it was as island then, but now it is the area around Glastonbury). And later in life, Jesus returned one more time.After Jesus died, the Druids asked Joseph to come back again, which I think he said happened in 33 AD. When Joseph arrived, the head of the Druids - the Merlin (this is a title much like the Dalai Lama; there have been many Merlins) gave Joseph a gift of

land. The land was directly below the sacred Druid hill called the Tor, where the rst Christian church was built. It is now called the Abby of Glastonbury, and is the largest Christian church in the world, even today. The monks of this abby traveled to Rome and built there the rst church of what is now known as the Vatican, preparing the way for the rst Pope, Peter. All of this happened with the blessings of the Druids.And so we begin to realize that without the help of the Druids the Christian religion very well might not have survived, or even begun in the rst place. In fact, it was the Druid Merlin of Arthur's time who helped the King band together what later came to be called the Knights of the Round Table. In those days, however, their purpose was to protect the new Christians from the Pagans as they went to church.The Druids were protecting the Christians. Why? Because, according to Merlin, Jesus was bringing a new view of the world that was the next step in evolution, and they wanted to support it.We now need to see one more change from Paganism to Christianity. The 64 stone circles that were arranged in an almost straight line across England were of the greatest spiritual importance to the Pagans. And it was the Christians, in cooperation with the Druids, who dismantled most of these stone circles, then used the same stones to build the Christian churches of this new religion.The stone circles were not located at random, but only where the male and female lines of energy crossed. The crossing was the very center of the ancient stone circles, and considered of vast importance in ancient times. Later, when the stones were dismantled, the exact center of the circle became the center of the altar of the new Christian church. It was believed by the Christians that if this was done, the Pagans would come to these churches - and in fact it did work, but it took a long time.So now, instead of stone circles, we have 64 Christian churches in a straight line across England, each one dedicated to either Archangel Michael or to Mother Mary, the beings for whom those two energy lines are named. (Is it not interesting that not one of these churches was dedicated to Jesus?)

The Proof
When I went to sleep that night after seeing Merlin, I wondered how he was going to prove to me that he and his "friends" were making the crop circles. I fell asleep thinking about him.The next morning, I called the head of the crop circle database in England, to connect with them and see if there was anything I could learn. I still had not been in an actual crop circle. This was eight years or so ago and I have forgotten the organization's name, but I believe they are still operating. A young woman answered, and we had a long conversation. At one point, she asked where I was calling from, and I told her the name of a little village very close to Avebury. She hesitated for a second and then said, "We just received a report about 30 minutes ago that a new crop circle was seen alongside a highway very close to where you are. No one has been in the circle yet. Would you go over and investigate it and call us back?"She told me where to go, and it turned out that it was just a short distance from where I had slept the night before. Excited to see my rst crop circle, I jumped in the car and headed straight for it. As I approached the circle, I couldn't make out what it was. It's hard when you're in something so big to see the overall picture. But after about twenty minutes of walking in the circle, I realized what the design was.I was speechless. After over twenty years of studying Sacred Geometry, I had come to a drawing that was paramount in my understanding of how all things were connected together. And this crop circle was that exact drawing! Merlin's words resounded in my head: "I will prove it to you."The feeling I had in my heart as I was walking through that crop circle was amazing. Even if I would never understand another crop circle again, I understood this one. That night, as I was meditating, Merlin appeared to me again. He said that he was going to make two more crop circles of my drawings, so that I would know for absolute certain that what he was saying was the truth.

Over the next three days, he did exactly as he said. Two more of my drawings - drawings that were not in any of my books or known to the public appeared, exactly as he had said.So now I felt as though I understood who was making the crop circles: the highest levels of human consciousness. But I needed to understand why, and what was being said. I felt certain that Merlin would tell me.

The Inner and Outer Worlds


I was right about Merlin. He continued to guide me as I made my pilgrimage around the sacred sites of England, nding crop circle after crop circle. Almost always where a crop circle was found, a sacred site would be visible nearby. Even without Merlin's teaching, it seemed obvious that the ancient world was somehow integrated into this phenomenon. One night, Merlin appeared and simply told me the whole connection with the Ascended Masters and the crop circles. It, too, seems obvious once it is heard, and once the history is known. In a nutshell, what Merlin said was that before Jesus came, the Druids and the Pagan world saw Heaven as being inside the Earth. It was a way of seeing where everything sacred was contained in Mother Earth herself. This is why the stones were so sacred: because they came out of the Earth.The Druids saw the stones as having a spirit, being alive. They also saw certain pools of water, wells, etc., as sacred, and as openings into the inner Earth and to Heaven itself. So prayers were not "up," but were "down." It was a view of life that saw everything as alive, including the Earth herself. The forests were lled with faeries and devas. The trees themselves were spirits of great power. But the Pope came along and made all these ideas illegal. It was illegal to worship the stones, the wells, the trees, the devas, the sun, the moon, illegal to see them as alive. This Christian prohibition has resulted in a modern consciousness that views the Earth as a lifeless rock and nothing more.Further, the Pope turned the

Pagan view of Heaven around so that Heaven became located in the stars! So now, today, we pray to God and look up to the stars. We think of Heaven as being somehow in the stars. It never occurs to us that Heaven could be inside the Earth. That view is so old, it is almost dead. And so Merlin told me that the ultimate communication of the crop circles is that the ancient view, that sees the Earth as alive, and the modern world, that sees it as dead, need to recombine. The two worldviews, if recombined, would create a consciousness that still extends out into space, but has reverence for the sacredness of the Earth. Until we see the Earth as sacred, we will continue to kill her, and destroy our home. Merlin said that only from this viewpoint can humanity survive and continue into the stars.

The New Culture


It is also extremely interesting that a new culture has suddenly arisen in America and parts of Europe (beginning in England) that sees the Earth as a living spirit. And it was birthed just prior to the outbreak of crop circles in England in the mid-1960s. It needs to be realized here that a new culture seldom arises on Earth. It is rare. The last cultural change occurred about 500 years ago.In the February 1997 issue of the Dow Jones Demographic magazine, it was scientically shown that this new culture encompassed at that time one in four Americans: 44 million adults (not counting children). Today, that gure is rapidly rising, and I'm told it is over 60 million. The question must be asked, "Did the mandalas of the crop circles create or guide this new culture?"One of the last questions would have to be, "Will this new culture change the destiny of the Earth with its way of combining within its consciousness both the ancient and the modern worlds?" This new culture, called the "Cultural Creatives," is a consciousness that sees the Earth as holy and alive, and yet still reaches to the stars. My conclusion is that crop circles have contributed, and are continuing to contribute, to changes in human consciousness that will alter the course of history.

How Can You Charge for Spiritual Teachings?


Almost twenty years ago, I was asked by my guides to teach what had been taught to me in the twelve years prior to that. I didn't know, during the whole twelve years of my training, that I was going to be asked to do this. So the request came as a surprise. The request also came as a shock. So much so that at rst I said no. I didn't want to make my life public. I was thinking only of myself. But over a period of about two weeks, my guides made clear to me the Spiritual Law that says, When you receive a spiritual gift, it cannot be kept only for yourself. It must be shared with others. When I saw the truth of what they were saying to me, I reluctantly agreed to teach what I had learned.As I set out to prepare to teach a class on the MerKa-Ba meditation of ascension and Sacred Geometry - the sacred shapes and proportions that generate the Creation within which we live - I encountered an ordinary and everyday problem: Was I to charge money for this spiritual knowledge, or was it to be given away for free? This was a question that had never entered my mind until that moment. I really didn't know what to do.

Spiritual Traditions Differ


My rst thought, because I went to Catholic schools when I was growing up, was that the teachings must be given freely. Many Christians believe that because Jesus gave away his teachings, so should spiritual teachers today. But during the past twelve years my guides had been sending me all over the world learning from different sources, and the spiritual teachers and traditions. I had encountered all put forth different ideas about charging for

spiritual knowledge.For several of the twelve years, for example, I was a Su, and the Su tradition says the exact opposite of the Christian tradition. I was taught by the Sus never to give away spiritual knowledge. The Su teachers I studied with believed that there must be an exchange. It didn't have to be money, but there had to be an exchange, or the student would miss the lesson.From these two opposite poles, I began to contemplate what to do.

What Would Jesus Do?


Then I thought of Jesus. If he were alive today, could he preach in the same way that he did 2000 years ago? And I saw immediately that the answer was no. To begin with, gathering thousands or even hundreds of people together in cities nowadays is illegal. If he tried it, Jesus would be arrested immediately and ned. And if he continued to do it, they would put him in prison. To gather people legally, he would have to hire managers to obtain licenses for assembling, or rent the venues within cities, which is very expensive. If he traveled outside of the country that he lived in, he would have to have passports and airline tickets. In other words, if Jesus had performed his ministry under 21st-century conditions, he would have been faced with the same ''money'' problems that all spiritual teachers are faced with today. So, for simple, practical reasons, spiritual teachers must charge something or nd someone who will pay the expenses for them. Either way, the expenses are a fact of life. The rst reality that I was faced with was the undeniable fact that if I was going to gather a hundred people together under one roof, I would have to pay for the space. I didn't have any money myself, so how was I going to pay for this venue? It became excruciating clear that I had to charge something, or I couldn't even begin to teach.

The more I realized the costs of putting on a seminar - phone bills, mailing costs, electronic and audiovisual equipment, PA systems, plane tickets to various locations, and on and on - it became absolutely clear that it was going to cost money to teach, whether I liked it or not. Further, if a spiritual teacher is to devote his or her entire life to teaching, as I was being asked to do, there has to be enough money left over to pay life's simple necessities - rent, food, etc. And so taking all of these concepts into consideration, I realized that what was important in today's world was that the exchange the Su's talked about had to be ''fair. ''There are spiritual organizations that require you to give everything you own over to them before they will teach you, and some which require such high prices that only a few people could ever pay for their spiritual knowledge. One, which I will not identify, asked of students that they pay over $100,000 for the information. These are examples of the extreme, and in my mind they are wrong. They are not fair.

Giving It Away
Then, as I actually began to teach, I discovered that no matter what price you put on the class or seminar you are teaching, for some people it will be too much. There are people who are so poor - especially in foreign countries that any reasonable price whatsoever is impossible for them. My rst solution to this was to allow free classes for those who could not pay for them. And that was when I began to experience directly the reason for the Su understanding that you must never give away spiritual knowledge. I truly hadn't known why the Sus believed this idea, but the answer now unfolded right before my eyes. Class after class, as I gave out free tuition to those who said they could not otherwise attend, I experienced that it was these people - the ones who were allowed in for free - who never understood what was being taught. I even

discovered that if another person paid for someone's class, there was the same problem. The free students were almost always the ones who showed up late and left in the middle. They were the ones who would fall asleep or talk throughout the class. And, even more important, they were the ones who didn't actually practice the meditation after the class was over. The Su's reasons for never giving away spiritual knowledge for free were glaringly apparent.

A Fair Exchange
So what was the answer? I decided that the exchange was all-important. If students received the teaching for free, it would have no meaning to them, but the exchange didn't have to be money. Instead of money, they could give time and energy. In so doing, they would engage their desire to learn, and it would have meaning to them. So I told those who said they could not pay that if they would volunteer their time to one of the major charities, such as Red Cross - enough time, based on ten dollars per hour, to pay for the workshop - then they could attend for free. I asked for a letter from the charity to verify their time. I still do this today. And what is truly fascinating is that only about one person out of fty actually takes me up on this offer! Even though they are not working and could easily give their time, it turns out that almost all of those who ask to come to my workshops without paying are not doing it out of deep spiritual desire, but simply because they want to get ''something for nothing.''

How Beliefs Affect Your Results


Another side of the equation of paying for spiritual knowledge is that whatever we believe to be true around money affects the outcome. When I

rst began to teach, I decided that what was fair was $222 for three days. I could barely pay for all the expenses, but that amount seemed fair to me. However, my secretary, who arranged the classes and actually talked to the potential students, thought that this amount was outrageously high. Even though she could see on the books that we were actually losing money, she still believed the workshop was too expensive. And so, every time someone called in to register for a class, her beliefs would transfer to the person signing up. Inevitably, they would ask for a payment plan. I ended up with hundreds of people making payments, which was slowly sending us into bankruptcy. Then my secretary moved to another state, and I replaced her with a woman who believed the opposite of her predecessor. She believed that what I was charging was entirely too little. So she talked me into raising the amount to $333. And, because she thought this amount was fair, from the time she arrived not one single person felt as though they needed to have a payment plan. Not even one! This story shows clearly that what you believe affects the outcome - even with money (incidentally, this is equally true if you have a healing practice it doesn't just apply to teaching).

Financial Success Is Important


Today, after almost twenty years of experience around the subject of paying for spiritual knowledge, I believe more than ever that there needs to be an exchange. It needs to be fair, but not charging for spiritual teaching doesn't work, not for the teacher, and not for the student. And what you personally believe around money will affect the outcome. Your beliefs about money will ultimately determine whether or not you succeed nancially. And succeeding nancially is important, because until you do, you will be limited in your ability to share with others the spiritual teachings that God has given to you.

Money as a Flow of Energy


From a spiritual point of view, money and materialism are illusions that hide the true nature and meaning of life. If our true purpose involves remembering and living a sacred journey that leads to the continual awareness of the presence of God, then an obsession with wealth and possessions can lead us astray. That said, we can notice that a few of the most spiritually advanced beings who have ever walked the Earth have also been among the wealthiest individuals of their cultures (St. Germaine and Joseph of Arimathea come to mind). So I feel that the concept of money is claried if we can begin to perceive money as energy. When put in that context, money is a ''ow of energy'' similar to Life Force energy - prana, or chi - not spiritually different from kinetic or atomic energy, electricity, heat, or any other natural force. As with all forms of energy, the ow of money follows the Laws of Creation. And as with all energy ows, balance is the key. Electrical devices function only with the proper ow of current. Too much, and the wires and equipment burn up; too little, and nothing works. It is the same with the heat that keeps us warm and comfortable. Too much, and we burn; too little, and we freeze.But what is ''too much'' for a human being? As with all other forms of energy, the answer to this is an individual matter, depending on their function and purpose in Life. The appropriate amount of heat to make our homes comfortable would be woefully inadequate for making horseshoes. The amount of electricity that a digital camera uses would be a drop in the bucket for running a refrigerator. The amount of money that is appropriate for another is something we cannot judge. We can only determine this for ourselves.

But there is a criterion we can apply to money, as with all forms of energy, and that is that it must ow. Just as we experience insufcient chi in the body as sickness, we experience an insufcient ow of money as dis-ease. In our modern culture, a lack of nancial energy ow often becomes a form of stress that can divert us from our path. But the reverse situation is equally dis-easeful. Too much chi, blocked and concentrated, leads to illness in the body. And money that is hoarded in fear that we will not have enough also leads to a condition of spiritual dis-ease. When we have balance with money, we have total faith that whatever we need will be provided. We are not afraid to spend money on ourselves or use it to help others. The money itself is not an issue. We do whatever we are here to do, knowing that the resources will ow to us and through us. So the key seems to be the realization that abundance, like love, exists in appropriate measure as soon as we release our fears concerning it. Like love, money simply ows to us as we need it, and ows from us as we seek to create peace and beauty around us, for ourselves and others. With the ease and understanding born of faith in ourselves and the Creator, our nancial life can become a manifestation of all that is good. So in this month's Spirit of Ma'at we explore the ideas of many men and women on what money means, how it relates to a healthy spiritual life, and how we can manifest in our own lives the abundance that is at the heart of Creation.

What is Merkaba?
The Merkaba is a crystalline energy eld that is comprised of specic sacred geometries that align the mind, body, and heart together. This energy eld created from sacred geometry extends around the body for a distance of 55 feet. These geometric energy elds normally spin around our bodies at close to the speed of light, but for most of us they have slowed down or stopped spinning entirely due to a lack of attention and use. When this eld is reactivated and spinning properly, it is called a Merkaba. A fully activated Merkaba looks just like the structure of a galaxy. The Merkaba enables us to experience expanded awareness, connects us with elevated potentials of consciousness, and restores access and memory of the innite possibilities of our being. When the Merkaba meditation is performed correctly, the Merkaba uidly integrates our feminine (intuitive, receptive) and masculine (active, dynamic) aspects of our mind and spirit. When you learn about the Merkaba in a Flower of Life workshop, you will not only intellectually understand the geometric elds, but you will personally experience them and feel them tangibly around your body. These geometric energy elds around our bodies can be turned on in a particular way, which is also connected to our breath. The Merkaba meditation incorporates a 17-breath process along with mudras (hand positions) that are a key to the correct use of the Merkaba. Activating the Merkaba through the 17-breath meditation will result in deeper contact with your Higher Self and it will strengthen every aspect of your life. You will be better able to relieve your stress, balance your mind and emotions, and heal yourself if the Merkaba is used often and consistently. Most importantly, you will experience and remember your intimate connection with God in a safe and nurturing environment.

Learning the steps of the Merkaba meditation alone is not enough to fully experience the benets of an activated Merkaba. Anyone can learn technical steps through a book or video. There is at least one other factor that is even more important than learning the Merkaba meditation itself -- the opening of the heart and the experiencing of Divine Love. It is Divine or Unconditional Love that is the primary factor that allows the Merkaba to become a living eld of light. Without Divine Love, the Merkaba will only be a series of steps and will have many limitations. In the Flower of Life workshop we explore special ways of opening the heart to reawaken compassion, unconditional love, and inner harmony so that you can have direct experience with Divine Love while learning to activate your Merkaba. Direct experience of our greater potential gives us the opportunity to go far beyond what words and books can teach. Our workshops are experiential, while still giving the necessary "left brain" information required for a full understanding of the course material. Most participants experience energy sensations and heart openings unlike anything they have ever experienced. Strong bonding between students often occurs and the feeling of family nurtures the group. Participants discover things about themselves that they hadn't remembered or didn't know before. The Merkaba is a counter-rotating eld of light generated from the spinning of specic geometric forms that simultaneously affects one's spirit and body. It is a vehicle that can aid mind, body and spirit to access and experience other planes of reality or potentials of life. In fact, the Merkaba is even much more than this. Those who have taken the Flower of Life workshop and have learned the merkaba meditation have stated that they have learned more about themselves, connected with their higher selves, and moved to new levels of awareness.

It is Divine or Unconditional Love that is the primary factor that allows the Merkaba to become a living eld of light. Without Divine Love, the Merkaba will only be a series of steps and will have many limitations.

The Teaching of Spherical Breathing: Using 17 Breaths


By Drunvalo Melchizedek The Merkaba breathing is a tool that helps humans reach their full potential. The Merkaba is a crystalline energy eld that is comprised of specic sacred geometries that align the mind, body, and heart together. There are 17+1 breaths, where the rst six are for balancing the polarity, the next seven for proper pranic ow through the entire body. The further breaths are for shifting the consciousness from 3rd to 4th dimension and nally the last three breaths is for re-creating the rotating Merkabah within and around the body. The last breath is not taught. Once each day, enter into this meditation, until the time comes when you are a conscious breather, remembering with each breath your intimate connection with God.

FIRST BREATH: Inhale HEART: Open your heart and feel love for all life. If you cannot do this, you must at least open to this love as much as is possible for you. This is the most important instruction of all. MIND: Become aware of the male tetrahedron (the apex facing up to the sun, the point facing to the front for male, the point to the back for females) lled with the brilliant white light surrounding your body. Visualize it the best you can. If you cannot visualize it, sense or feel it surrounding you. BODY: At the same moment of inhalation, place your hands in the mudra of your thumb and rst nger touching. Remember, lightly touch your ngers, and do not allow your ngers to touch each other or any other object. Keep your palms facing up. BREATH: At this same moment, with empty lungs, begin to breath in a complete yogic manner. Breath through your nostrils only, except at certain places which will be described. Simply put, breath from your stomach rst, then your diaphragm, and nally your chest. Do this in one movement, not three parts. The exhale is completed either by holding the chest rm and relaxing the stomach, slowly releasing the air, or by holding the stomach rm and relaxing the chest. The most important aspect is that this breathing must be rhythmic. Begin by using seven seconds in and seven seconds out, but as you get familiar with this meditation, nd your own rhythm. The following instructions for a complete Yogic Breath are from "the Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath" by Yogi Ramacharake. Perhaps this description will be helpful. Breathing through the nostrils, inhale steadily, rst lling the lower part of the lungs, which is accomplished by bringing into play the diaphragm, which descending exerts a gentle pressure on the abdominal organs, pushing forward the front walls of the abdomen. Then ll the middle part of the lungs, pushing out the lower ribs, breastbone and chest. Then ll the higher portion of the lungs, protruding the upper chest, thus lifting the chest, including the upper six or even pairs of ribs. At rst reading it may appear that this breath consists of three distinct movements. This, however, is not the correct idea. The inhalation is

continuous, the entire chest cavity from the lowered diaphragm to the highest point of the chest in the region of the collar bone, being expanded with a uniform movement. Avoid a jerky series of inhalations, and strive to attain a steady continuous action. Practice will soon overcome the tendency to divide the inhalation into three movements, and will result in a uniform continuous breath. You will be able to complete the inhalation in a few seconds after a little practice. Exhale quite slowly, holding the chest in a rm position, and drawing the abdomen in a little and lifting it upward as the air leaves the lungs. When the air is entirely exhaled, relax the chest and abdomen. A little practice will render this part of the exercise easy, and the movement once acquired will be afterward performed almost automatically. FIRST BREATH: Exhale HEART: Love MIND: Become aware of the female tetrahedron, (apex pointing to the earth, point facing to the back for males, point facing to the front for females), also lled with the brilliant white light BODY: Keep the same mudra. BREATH: Do NOT hesitate at the top of the inhalation to begin the exhalation. Exhale quite slowly, approximately seven seconds, in the Yogic manner. When the air is out of the lungs, without forcing, relax the chest and abdomen and HOLD the breath. When you feel pressure to breathe again, after about ve seconds or so, then do the following: MIND: Be aware of the at equilateral triangle at the top of the female tetrahedron located in the horizontal plane that passes through your chest at the sternum. In a ash, and with a pulse like energy, send that triangular plane down through the female tetrahedron. It gets smaller as it goes down and pushes out the tip or apex of the tetrahedron all the negative energy of the mudra or electrical circuit, a light will shoot out of the apex toward the center of the Earth. The Mind exercise is performed along with the following BODY movements. BODY: Move your eyes slightly toward each other, or, in other words,

slightly cross your eyes. Now bring them up to the top of their sockets, or in other words, look up. Also, this looking up motion should not be extreme. You will feel a tingling feeling between your eyes in the area of your third eye . You can now look down to the lowest point you can, as fast as you can. You should feel an electrical sensation move down your spine. The MIND and BODY must coordinate the above mental exercis e with the eye movements. The eyes look down from their up position at the same time the mind sees the triangular horizontal plane of the female tetrahedron move down to the apex of the female tetrahedron. This combined exercise will clean out the negative thoughts and feelings that have entered into your electrical system. Specically, it will clean out the part of your electrical system that is associated with the particular mudra you are using. Immediately upon pulsing the energy down your spine, you change mudras to the next one and begin the entire cycle over again. The next ve breaths are a repeat of the rst breath with the following mudra changes: Second breath mudra: Thumb and second nger together Third breath mudra: Thumb and third nger together Fourth breath mudra: Thumb and little nger together Fifth breath mudra: Thumb and rst nger together (same as rst breath) Sixth breath mudra: Thumb and second nger together (same as second breath) The rst part, the rst six breaths, the balancing of the polarities, and the cleansing of your electrical system is now complete. You are now ready for the next part, the next seven breaths. Here an entirely new breathing pattern begins. You do not need to visualize the star tetrahedron at this time. Only the tube that runs through the star, from the apex of the male tetrahedron above your head to the apex of the female tetrahedron below your feet, needs to be seen and worked with. This extends one hand length above your head and one hand length below your feet. The diameter of YOUR tube will be the size of the hole formed by YOUR thumb and forenger touching.

BREATH NUMBER SEVEN: Inhale HEART: Love. There is another renement here that can be used after you have perfected this meditation. MIND: Visualize or sense the tube running through your body. The instant you begin the seventh inhale, see the brilliant white light of the prana moving down the tube from the top and up the tube from the bottom at the same time. This movement is almost instantaneous. The point where these two light beams meet within your body is controlled by the mind and is a vast science known throughout the universe. In this teaching however, we will only be shown what is necessary, that which will take you from third to fourth dimensional awareness. In this case you will direct the two beams of prana to meet at your navel, or more correct, within your body at navel level, inside the tube. The moment the two beams of prana meet, which is just as the inhale begins, a sphere of white light or prana is formed at the meeting point about the size of a grapefruit centered on the tube. It all happens in an instant. As you continue to take the inhale of the seventh breath, the sphere of prana begins to concentrate and grow slowly. BODY: For the next seven breaths use the same mudra for both inhale and exhale, the thumb, rst and second touching together palms up. BREATH: Deep rhythmic Yogic breathing, seven seconds in and seven seconds out. There is no holding of the breath from now on. The ow of prana from the two poles will not stop or change in any way when you go from inhale to exhale. It will be a continuous ow that will not stop for a long as you breath in this manner, even after death. SEVENTH BREATH: Exhale MIND: The prana sphere centered at the navel continues to grow. By the time of the full exhale, the prana sphere will be approximately eight or nine inches in diameter. BREATH: Do not force the air out of your lungs. When your lungs are empty naturally, immediately begin the next breath.

EIGHTH BREATH: Inhale HEART: Love. MIND: The prana sphere continues to concentrate life force energy and grow in size EIGHT BREATH: Exhale MIND: The prana sphere continues to grow in size and will reach maximum size at the end of this breath. This maximum size is different for each person. If you put your longest nger in the center of your navel, the line on your wrist dening your hand will show you the radius of the maximum size of this sphere for YOU. This sphere of prana cannot grow larger. NINTH BREATH: Inhale MIND: The prana sphere cannot grow larger, so what happens is the prana begins to concentrate within the sphere. The visual appearance is that the sphere grows BRIGHTER. BREATH: Sphere grows brighter and brighter as you inhale. NINTH BREATH: Exhale BREATH: As you exhale, the sphere continues to grow brighter and brighter. TENTH BREATH: Inhale MIND: About half way through this inhale, as the sphere continues to brighter, the prana sphere reaches critical mass. The sphere ignites into a sun, a brilliant blinding ball of white light. You are now ready for the next step. TENTH BREATH: Exhale MIND: At the moment of exhale, the small sphere two hand lengths in diameter bulges to expand. In one second, combined with the breath talked about below, the sphere expands quickly out to the sphere of Leonardo, out at your nger tips of your extended arms. Your body is now completely enclosed within a huge sphere of brilliant white light. You have returned to

the ancient form of spherical breathing. However, at this point, this sphere is not stable. You MUST breath three more times to keep the sphere stable. BREATH: At the moment of exhale, make a small hole with your lips and blow out your air with pressure. As you feel the sphere begin to bulge, all within the rst second of this exhale, let all of your air out rapidly. The sphere will expand at that moment. ELEVENTH, TWELFTH and THIRTEENTH BREATH: Inhale and Exhale MIND: Relax and just feel the ow of the prana owing from the two poles and meeting at the navel and then expanding out to the large sphere BREATH: Breath rhythmically and deeply. At the end of the thirteenth breath you have stabilized the large sphere and are ready for the important 14th breath. THE FOURTEENTH BREATH HEART: Love MIND: On the inhale of the 14th breath, at the very beginning of the breath, move the point where the two beams of prana meet from the navel to the sternum, the fourth dimensional chakra. The entire large sphere, along with the original sphere, which is also still contained within the large sphere, moves up to the new meeting point within the tube. Though this is very easy to do, it is an extremely powerful movement. Breathing from this new point within the tube will inevitably change your awareness from third to fourth dimensional consciousness, or from earth consciousness to Christ consciousness. BODY: This mudra will be used for the rest of the meditation. Place the left palm on top of the right palm for males and the right palm on top of the left palm for females. It is a mudra that relaxes. BREATH: Rhythmic breath and deep. However, if you continue to breathe from your Christ center without moving on to the MER-KA-BA, which is what is recommended until you have made contact with your Higher Self, then shift to a shallow breath. In other words, breath rhythmically but in a comfortable manner where your attention is more on the ow of energy

moving up and down the tube meeting at the sternum and expanding out to the large sphere. Just feel the ow. Use your feminine side to just be. At this point don't think, just breath, feel and be. Feel your connection to All Life through the Christ Breath. Remember your intimate connection with God. The Mer-Ka-Ba, The Vehicle Of Ascension The Last Three Breaths You are asked not to attempt this FOURTH PART until you have made contact with your Higher Self, AND your Higher Self has given you permission to proceed. This part is to be taken seriously. The energies that will come into and around your body and spirit are of tremendous power. If you are not ready, you could hurt yourself. If your Higher Self gives you permission to enter into the MER-KA-BA, then don t fear, for you will be ready. FIFTEENTH BREATH: Inhale: HEART: Love MIND: Be aware of the whole star tetrahedron. Realize that there are three whole star tetrahedrons superimposed over each other. One is the body itself, and is locked in place and never, except under certain conditions, moves. It is placed around the body according to maleness or femaleness. The second whole star tetrahedron is male in nature, it is electrical, is literally the human mind and rotates counter-clockwise relative to your body looking out, or to put it another way, it rotates toward your left side. The third whole star tetrahedron is female in nature, is magnetic, is literally the human emotional body and rotates clockwise relative to your body looking out, or to put it another way, it rotates toward your right side. To be clear, we are not telling you to rotate the male tetrahedron one way and the female the other way. When we say rotate the whole star tetrahedron, we mean the whole thing. On the inhale of the fteenth breath, as you are inhaling, you will say to yourself, in your head, the code words, EQUAL SPEED. This will tell your mind that you want the two rotatable whole star tetrahedrons to begin spinning in opposite directions at equal speeds at the

time of the exhale. Meaning that for every complete rotation of the mind tetrahedrons, there will be a complete rotation of the emotional tetrahedrons. BODY: Continue the mudra of the folded hands from now on. BREATH: Breath Yogic and rhythmically an deeply again, but only for the next three breaths, after that return to the shallow breathing. FIFTEENTH BREATH: Exhale MIND: The two sets of tetrahedrons take off spinning. In an instant, they will be moving at exactly one third the speed of light at their outer tips. You probably will not be able to see this because of their tremendous speed, but you can feel it. What you have just done is to start the MOTOR of the MER-KA-BA. You will not go anywhere, or have an experience. It is just like starting the motor of a car, but having the transmission in neutral. BREATH: Make a small hole with your lips just like you did for breath Number Ten. Blow out in the same manner, and as you do, feel the two sets of tetrahedrons take off spinning. SIXTEENTH BREATH: Inhale MIND: As you let out the breathe, the two sets of tetrahedrons take off from their one third speed of light setting to two third speed of light in an instant. As they approach two thirds speed of light speed a phenomena takes place. A disk about 55 feet in diameter forms around the body at the level of the base of the spine. And the sphere of energy that is centered around the two sets of tetrahedrons forms with the disk to create a shape that looks like a FLYING SAUCER around the body. This energy matrix is called the MER-KA-BA. However, it is not stable. If you see or sense the MER-KA-BA around you at this point, you will know it to be unstable. It will be slowly wobbling. Therefore Breath Number Seventeen is necessary. BREATH: Same as breath 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out with pressure. It is at this point that the speeds increases. As you feel the

speed increasing, let out all your breath with force. This action will cause the higher speed to be fully obtained and the MER-KA-BA to be formed. SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Inhale HEART: Remember, unconditional love for all life must be felt through out all of this meditation or no results will be realized. MIND: As you breathe in, say to yourself, in your head, the code NINE TENTHS THE SPEED OF LIGHT. This code will tell your mind to increase the speed of the MER-KA-BA to nine tenths the speed of light which will stabilize the rotating eld of energy. It will also do something else. This third dimensional universe that we live in is tuned to 9/10 the speed of light. Every electron in your body is rotating around every atom in your body at 9/10 the speed of light. This is the reason this particular speed is selected. BREATH: Breathe rhythmically and in a Yogic manner. SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Exhale MIND: The speed increases to 9/10 the speed of light and stabilizes the MER-KA-BA. BREATH: Same as breath 15 and 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out with pressure. As you feel the speed take off, let all your breath out with force. You are now in your stable and Third dimensionally tuned MERKA-BA. With the help of your Higher Self, you will understand what this really means. EIGHTEENTH BREATH: This very special breath will not be taught here. You must receive it from Your Higher Self. It is the breath that will take you through the speed of light into the fourth dimension. You will disappear from this world and reappear in another one that will be your new home for awhile.

This is not the end, but the beginning of an ever expanding consciousness returning you HOME to your FATHER.
