Ritual of the Portal

In preparation for Ritual of the Pyramid Portals, I will be emailing several articles to you that hopefully will enlighten you and involve you in the upcoming ascension activity. I am asking for more interest and involvement from you at this time because there a quickening occurring now that you probably can feel. The energy is changing and I am hoping we can have some input into crafting that energy more the way we would like it. It seems to me that love and understanding are key to moving the energy in a positive direction, and I believe a closer look at the energies at work in these ancient civilizations will provide us with valuable clues as to how we can shape our energy gift in all love and light.

The first of these articles is Jungle Dreaming of Egypt, followed by Pyramid of the Sun - Teotihuacan, Great Pyramid of Cheops, Portals of Eternity, The Game of Life, Isis and Osiris, Deciphering Ancient Artifacts of the Mediterranean Area, Part 1 and Part 2, in which you will read a decipherment, Deciphering Abydos Temple Art, in which you will attempt a decipherment, What is a Portal - Locating your Portal, and Ritual of the Pyramid Portals. These articles will be posted in various places on the internet, and I will keep you updated on where you can find them.

Several people have written telling me of the dreams they have been having of ancient Egypt. This has been within the last two weeks before anyone knew of the next Ritual of the Portal, which is centered on the Great Pyramid of Cheops and the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico. If you are dreaming of Egypt and would like to recount these dreams, please email them to me. I would love to see them. Also, I have received email recounting jungle dreams and I believe this may be related to Pyramid of the Sun and the Aztecs. I am compiling these dreams so that we can all get an overview of the Egypt and Aztec dreams and see what our collective activity at this level looks like. Work that we do as a group at the astral or dreamtime level is important because we are forming paths of light as we construct a group consciousness, and at the same time we are creating realities at the physical level. The following is the Dreamtime Journal activity that many of you have seen before. It is an important activity, really essential, which is why I keep sending it to you.

The Dreamtime Journal is the next step in preparation for Ritual of the Pyramid Portals. It is an activity to help you locate your portal. Keeping the journal helps create a heightened level of perception, so that you can sense the location of the portal in your home. The journal can be written, typed or recorded first thing upon waking. If pressed for time, talk into a tape recorder and then label and save the tapes.

Keeping the journal also leads to a raised state of consciousness. The natural, safe way to astral travel is during sleep, but staying cognizant and alert while sleeping is a learned behavior. Keeping the Dreamtime Journal teaches you to remember your dreams, which requires you to pay attention while you're dreaming. Make a habit of this for even a short period of time, and you will awaken to the world of the Dreamtime dimension, where you can meet interdimensional travelers and become active in higher levels of group activity. When you record in your Dreamtime Journal that in your "dream" you were part of a group of people you didn't know, it means you participated in a higher level of group activity.

I will be emailing you soon about the next phase of activity for Ritual of the Pyramid Portals. In the meantime, Sweet Dreams!

Just a few lines to thank you for continuing to share with me those incredible dreams. When two or more people are having nearly identical dreams, then if desired I am sharing email addresses so you can connect with each other. I had a dream of my own last night. In my dream my guides said to me, "A healing energy is encircling the Earth right now." I can feel it, can you? What a wonderful energy gift for us! We have made errors on this beautiful planet and not always perceived the Mystery, and the same is true of those who came before us. But with a healing energy we can forgive ourselves when falling short of our potential and we can look into our past and come to understand our motives, our dreams, our desires, and our fears. We can build a bridge through time to those selves who lived so long ago and achieved so much, and share with them the quality of our great love and our continuing efforts to go toward the light. And as we hold out our hands to them, we just need to remember to go in the direction of up, for the Light will always come from above. Striving toward the light, just like us, the spiritual ancestors of the Toltecs built Pyramid of the Sun in the direction of up.

Twenty-five miles northeast of Mexico City are the remains of the largest pre-Columbian city in the western hemisphere. Teotihuacan, House of the Gods, was begun as early as 400 BCE by people related to the Toltecs, who dominated central Mexico from the 10th until the mid-12th century CE. It is from the Toltecs that the Aztecs claimed descent, as they explained to their Spanish conquerors.

Teotihuacan developed into an important city in the 1st c. CE until about 700 CE. The people who built Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan had close and probably friendly contact with the Maya, who also constructed divinely inspired temple-pyramid architecture. These civilizations were highly influential in the development of the Aztec civilization that flourished from the 14th to the 16th c. CE. Pyramid of the Sun is one of the largest structures ever built by Native Americans. It covers more than 10 acres and is over 200 feet high.

The Aztecs worshipped several gods, important among them a sun god named Huitzilopochtli, god of war. He was depicted as a hummingbird or as a warrior wearing hummingbird feathers for armor. He required human blood and human hearts for nourishment. His sun disk is a reincarnation symbol known as the Aztec Calendar.

Huitzilopochtli had a sun god counterpart in ancient Egypt in the deity Ra or Re, also a Bird Tribe being. This sun god was depicted with a human body and the head of a hawk. Ra was considered the creator and controller of the universe, his chief symbols being the sun disk and the obelisk. Ra is most memorable as Amon-Ra, father of the gods. The most massive temple ever built was constructed for Amon-Ra at Al Karnak. Amon-Ra's high priests were as powerful as the pharaoh and one of them in particular, Pontiff Zeel, was especially powerful. I have learned in a mysterious way that the face on the Aztec Calendar known to the Aztec as Huitzilopochtli is also the face of Pontiff Zeel. Pontiff means High Priest and Zeel means return. (Ze = Ra or Re, El = turn) At the center of the sun disk of the Aztec is the face of Pontiff Zeel, High Priest of the Sun God Re-turns.

The name Pontiff Zeel was revealed to Yashah in 1988 when a UFO teleported to him a silver chain-link necklace and a silver shield, symbols of the Shield Guides. He was told at that time it was the Shield of Onfedei, having to do with the Queen's Chamber in the pyramid of Cheops, and the face on the shield was that of Pontiff Zeel. Recently, in meditation he was guided by Cheops to send me the silver chain and shield because I could identify the face of Pontiff Zeel. On the shield was the Aztec Calendar and the face of Huitzilopochtli. I translated the name Pontiff Zeel to arrive at its meaning, High Priest of the Sun God Re-turns.

Huitzilopochtli/Pontiff Zeel is a being known as a Draco or Draku, Lord of Karma, from which comes the myth of Dracula. Cheops also guided Yashah to send me a cube from his undiscovered sarcophagus. The cube was teleported to Yashah in 1994. It is clear plastic and contains a single crying tear. My guides told me it represents the tears of the Elders, the tears of doom they cry for Pontiff Zeel. Because I am a Shield Guide I was asked to channel and transmute that grief and to bring Pontiff Zeel into the Light of unconditional Love. And so, I cried a month of tears and I have extended my hand to Pontiff Zeel and together we are moving toward the Light in the direction of up. Is there someone to whom you can extend your hand? Is there someone you can bring into the Light?

The three major Egyptian pyramids at Giza are aligned to match the three stars in Orion's belt. This alignment is in accordance with Dwat, the art of placement as it was practiced in ancient Egypt, wherein the structures of the earth are positioned to mirror the architecture of heaven. Of the three pyramids, Cheops is the most significant because it contains a portal. In a fictionalized account of this, the movie Stargate, the portal links the pyramid to some far planet. The portal, according to the information recorded on the Phaistos Disk/Portal Disk, may be a direct link to a star portal/space station in the constellation Argo. On the Phaistos Portal Disk can be seen all three: the Great Pyramid, the star portal symbol and the constellation Argo. The disk also shows the location of portal inside the Great Pyramid (left). This image is revealed by connecting with lines the identical pictographs of the Golden Fleece. Other images reveal the Great Pyramid, revealed by dotting and connecting all the identical pyramid signs; the star portal Sirius, formed by dotting and connecting all the identical shield guide shields; the constellation Argo, formed by dotting and connecting all the identical star/pomegranate signs; the spirit tunnel entrance through the portal, revealed by connecting all the identical crested dancer signs.

Like the constellation Argo, known as Jason's Ship, is the 125 ft. "solar funeral" ship of the pharaoh Cheops, discovered in 1954 near the Great Pyramid. Egyptologists have identified the ship as a funeral vessel constructed to transport souls through the heavens in the path of the sun god Ra or Re. It's not very likely they would identify Cheop's ship as a symbol of the constellation Argo, where Cheops may have come from and where he may have returned to. His body was never found in the Great Pyramid or anywhere else.

Cheops' pyramid is supposed to have been built about 2700 BCE but no one knows this for sure. It could be very much older, but it is not as old as the Sphinx, which shows water erosion. Cheops is eroded by wind and sand.

Egyptologists want the Great Pyramid to be concurrent with the Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumer, the Indus Valley Civilization, the earliest construction of Stonehenge and early North American Mound Builders. Widely accepted is the theory that the Egyptian pyramids were built as royal tombs, yet no pharaoh has ever been found entombed in the pyramids.

Cheops, 450 ft. high, is believed by many to be built atop the convergence point of telluric energy at the symbolic geodetic center, the omphalos (stone navel), of the planet. Cheops could be a strong channel for earth energy that the human body converts to Kundalini energy moving through the chakra system. Sunk into the omphalos 600 ft. below the vertex of the pyramid is a 31x27 ft. subterranean chamber, like an electrical plug in an electrical outlet.

Also situated on the vertical axis is the Queen's Chamber, 18 ft. 10 in. x 17 ft. 2 in. Inside the chamber is a large, recessed niche, about 16 ft. high and 3 ft. 5 in. deep. In the niche is a portal, about the size of your fist. The Phaistos Disk/Portal Disk decipherment indicates an astronomer-priest sect convened inside Cheops, and they may have held their own version of Ritual of the Portal in the Queen's chamber. On the Phaistos Portal Disk is a configuration that pinpoints the location of the Queen's Chamber in the pyramid. The Isis-Osiris sect studied sacred geometry and astronomy, held initiations and worked together as a group to create a living light-body or Merkaba. The word is ancient Egyptian and means M(e)r - place of ascending; Ka = Spirit; Ba = Soul.

The Great Pyramid was known to the Isis-Osiris sect as Secret House, where they practiced their journeys in the afterlife by traveling in light-body to the 8th dimension, called the Ogdoad. This Heaven-Sphere, symbolized by the sphere atop the cross of the Egyptian Ankh, was called Thoth's celestial City of 8 and is symbolized by the infinity sign, or the figure 8. This appears on the Rod of Hermes as the intertwined serpents, Ida and Pingala, the subtle nervous system of the chakra system that is part of the mechanism for astral travel and mental projection. Thoth's City of 8 was believed to be the destination of souls after death when the material body is abandoned and the soul re-ascends the planetary spheres to merge with the dead god-man Osiris and with God. By building Merkabas, the members of the sect could preclude death by passing through the portal, thus negating the wheel of time and fatality.

This article is meant to shatter walls. Can we continue to accept old ideas because they're established, respected, revered, even beautiful? Maybe they worked once, but does it mean they keep on working? Old structures must come down in order for new structures to be built. In this ascension movement, are we layering brilliant new ideas on top of unimaginative, old thought patterns? Some of the old ideas we have are keepers, but how are we to know which ones if we don't take them out of the closets of our minds and examine them? We don't want to go the way of established religion, where nothing is ever challenged. I believe we can collectively decide what we like and what we don't like, and that makes it reality. Anything is possible in the kingdom we create.

This begins a look at the age-old idea of there being opposing forces in the universe, the interplay of these forces being responsible for creation and for keeping the world in motion. The light, or love-motivation force, and the dark, or fear-motivation force, are considered to be oppositional powers at work in the world. This is an ancient idea involving polarity, but is it now a dynamic, workable idea? By this I mean, even if it is true, are we required to subscribe to it, and if we don't collectively subscribe to it, or to any other idea we don't ourselves select, can we write it out of our reality? Before ascension can come to a planet, nonserviceable ideas have to depart. The following demonstrates this idea of positive and negative forces at work as it was widely expounded in the Mediterranean world between the 1st and the 4th centuries CE (Common Era). It represents the bringing forth and development of knowledge and ideas from ancient Egypt and the Isis-Osiris sect, ideas regarding the afterlife journey to the 8th dimension, called the Ogdoad, or Heaven-Sphere.

The central focus of all religions is the afterlife and its mysteries. The Christian version we are familiar with offers an image of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates of Heaven. The idea is that when we reach this point in our afterlife journey we will apply for admission, whereupon this angelic gatekeeper will review our qualifications and admit us or reject us depending upon the quality of our thoughts and deeds while we were in the flesh.

The gatekeeper will ask, "'Who are you or where are you from?' You are to say to him, 'I am a son, and I am from the Father.' He will say to you, 'What sort of son are you, and to what father do you belong?' You are to say to him, 'I am from the Pre-existent Father, and a son in the Pre-existent One'...When he also says to you, 'Where will you go?' you are to say to him, 'To the place from which I have come, there shall I return.' And if you say these things, you will escape their attacks.'" (The First Apocalypse of James, the Gnostic papyri) Brave ladies might try the response "I am a daughter and I am from the Mother," but this will presumably be moot because sexual orientation will be meaningless when we transcend duality caused by the physical fact of polarity, and gain the formless form.

The Gnostics and Christians of the early Common Era who expounded on these afterlife ideas based many of their extensive accounts of afterlife passwords and gatekeepers on their own subjective experiences involving inner world journeys.

These journeys begin by moving ever inward along a lighted, spiraling tunnel to the inner planes, where the individual meets with archetypal energy expressing as geometrical formations. The soul has the opportunity of projecting ideas and various notions of the self into the geometry-intelligences (angels or angles), creating a rainbow mirror of the aspects of the self.

As one travels higher, or further inward, these expressions gain in perfection so that the desired goal is to meet the archetypes in the Heaven-Sphere, where there is perfection of expression and where the I/Thou archetype is transcended. There is no more duality, only Oneness, so that the angel the soul meets in Heaven is the Self. As you read the following material, you can begin to see how the gatekeepers are mirrors of the self along the soul's journey to the Heaven-Sphere, where the Treasury of Light is beheld and the desire for enlightenment is fulfilled.

The Gnostics and Christians of the early Common Era circulated lists of passwords that the afterlife gatekeepers would accept, and many people kept lists of them written on their arms and legs in case of emergency. These passwords were also said to have been part of the teachings of Jesus.

Passwords and gatekeepers are also part of classical astrology, which were the laws of physics of the ancient world, blending better with religion then than now. The ancient Gnostics, many of their ideas descended from the archaic world of Persia and Mithraism, gazed up into the dome of night and derived from the starry heavens a system of correspondences and beliefs in which the physical and spiritual nature of humanity mirrors that of the celestial residents of the heavenly realms. In this As Above So Below philosophy, the stargazers recognized in the movement of the stars the Aeons of the Powers - the supernal beings in their eternal realms. They noted the Pole Star, the ruler of the heavens, and the brilliant beings of light revolving around it. This living vehicle of light was as a revelation to them. Below the sphere of these stars revolved the seven planets, including the sun and the moon and excluding earth, each with its portal and gatekeeper.

If these planetary gatekeepers were not supplied with the proper passwords by the human soul on its return journey to heaven, they would turn away a person and prevent that soul's progression to the upper realms. Without knowledge of the passwords, the soul and the remains of the physical body, having a specific gravity, would be pulled into the rotation of the sphere to revolve there forever or until an amnesty was given. An unfit soul might be forced to pass through the body of the constellation Draco, reptilian Lord of Karma whose tail dips down even into the deepest, darkest chasms of hell, the densest plane of existence. But high above the chasm and twinkling ethereally at the Pole Star sits Chasmodai, the Charioteer on his chariot-throne (The Chariot in Tarot, left), redeemer and ruler of the earthly spheres of heaven. And this is the first password - Chasmodai.

Within this great allegorical scheme of things, the individual is not just a poor player, dependent on the mercy of gatekeepers, but instead a crucial partner in the operation of this system. In the incarnational process to birth, which serves the entire system and not just the individual, each person descends from heaven by successively passing from one planet and from one portal and gatekeeper to another. The gatekeepers gift each soul with positive and negative influences that become the spiritual energies that nurture the soul during a lifetime and that the soul assimilates by virtue of the chakra system. The human chakra system is an ancient Hindu concept that became interwoven with these Persian, Gnostic, and Christian ideas. It explains the physiological and psychic uses of these supernatural energies. Finally, at the moment of incarnation, the soul takes on the properties of matter - fire, water, air and earth. This idea of the four elements comes from ancient Sumer and was elucidated and passed on by Aristotle, to be embraced by the Gnostics and Christians as part of this afterlife philosophy. Upon acquiring the constituents of matter, the soul is born into flesh.

During one's lifetime, the gatekeepers play upon the negative attributes of the soul to turn a person away from truth and knowledge, while the good angels work with the positive planetary attributes to bring the person to enlightenment and Gnosis (spiritual knowledge). Within one's body the sons of Light and the sons of Darkness wage a war for the human soul. Because of the expanded consciousness and awareness of humanity, our world of extreme duality becomes a stage whereon these lightbeings and gatekeepers actualize themselves by playing out the eternal, celestial drama of good vs. evil, error vs. truth, light vs. dark, and God vs Satan.

At the end of life, and after the death transition, the soul begins its re-ascent to its heavenly origins, with individual access to the uppermost realms determined by the acquisition of gnosis and by knowledge of the passwords. The soul first encounters the Moon, its portal ruled by the charioteer gatekeeper we met earlier when we saw him sitting the Pole Star. He accepts his name as the password - Chasmodai.

The password Chasmodai signifies the soul's understanding of a certain concept, that the journey into the physical world is the journey into the chasm. The password Chasmodai means, "I have ascended the chasm." Upon hearing this the gatekeeper will open the gate, and the soul will pass through the portal. Another password will unlock this gate, and that password is "Gabriel," the name of the planetary angel. This password indicates the soul has gained an understanding of the purpose of the journey into the chasm, which is to learn the lessons of faith, hope, charity, and love. These four qualities are essential when approaching the next portal and gatekeeper. The portal of Mars is ruled by the terrifying Bartzabel, who frightens the souls and turns them back. Suddenly he revealed himself to them, approaching them in the form of lightning... Because of this, they were afraid and fell down, since they were not able to bear the appearance of the light which struck them...Therefore they fell down to the pit of ignorance which is called 'the Outer Darkness,' and 'Chaos' and 'Hades' and 'the abyss.' (The Tripartite Tractate, Gnostic papyri)

When the password Bartzabel does not work, and to prevent the return to the physical body via reincarnation, the brave souls must utter the password "Samael," God's blind planetary angel who cannot see the terrifying sight. This password indicates the soul's acquisition of endurance and enthusiasm while in the physical body, and these two qualities are an important shield against the powers of Bartzabel.

Many souls can never pass through the Mars portal to continue their ascent but are always turned away because they lack the fortitude to face Bartzabel. For this reason the Cosmic Christ force, who is empowered to upend and reverse everything, sacrifices itself through incarnation and the involution of physical death (a "descent into hell") so that the evolution of human souls can continue. The Cosmic Christ force is said to have merged with Jesus, and it was in this spirit of sacrifice that Jesus, by his death, lighted for us the way onto the Sacrifice Path or the path of Christ.

As the soul passes through the Mars portal and re-ascends to its heavenly origins, it sheds the planetary influences like layers of astral clothing, becoming lighter and lighter and gaining enlightenment.

The next portal is Venus, guarded by the gatekeeper Kedemel, who accepts this name as the password. The Venus portal is the Portal of Life, the cosmic womb through which the soul originally passed in order to gain the density of physical body and the accompanying ability to manipulate matter. This two-way portal, when approached during re-ascent, opens to the password "Arnad," the planetary angel who recognizes the soul's acquisition of a certain gnosis - the understanding of the relationship of physical love and spiritual love, which also finds earthly expression through the practice of Tantra Yoga. Love is the key that opens this portal, and the soul passes through.

Next, the soul must approach the portal of Mercury, ruled by the gatekeeper Taphthartharath, a name hard to remember and pronounce. The password to use here is "Raphael," the planetary angel who recognizes the soul's acquisition of memory, reason, and intelligence. These three qualities are useful when meeting this gatekeeper and getting his name right. The portal opens and the soul passes through.

The next portal is Jupiter, ruled by the gatekeeper Hismael. Now, the soul discards the residue of the four elements of matter and the astrological influences of the lower, visible world. The soul may use the password "Zadkiel," which indicates readiness to be transformed into an abstract, creative being. The portal opens, the soul passes through, and the transformation begins.

The next portal is Saturn, ruled by the gatekeeper Zazel. This is the penultimate gatekeeper, and a very dangerous one. The soul must not look back in yearning for the physical life, like Lot's wife looking back on Sodom and Gomorra. This gatekeeper has the power to chain a soul and cast it into the desert of Dudael on Saturn, which lies East of Eden. The rebellious angel Azezel, another name for the gatekeeper himself, was placed here on God's orders and chained by the angel Raphael, and he will do the same to the soul who looks back. And it has fettered them with its chains and bound all their limbs with the bitterness of the bondage of lust for those visible things that will decay and change and swerve by impulse. They have always been attracted downwards... (The Book of Thomas the Contender, Gnostic papyri)

Another password that will work here is "Cassiel," the planetary angel who recognizes the soul's higher creative faculties. The portal opens and the soul passes through.

The soul approaches the final portal of the Sun and utters the passwords "Sorath," the gatekeeper, and "Michael," the planetary angel. But, this portal requires more than passwords; it requires Mysteries. To pass through this portal, the earth self must re-unite with the immortal self - the twin self - before entering this cosmic alchemical furnace. Then, like the salamanders of alchemy, the soul and the immortal self enter the fiery furnace and safely exit this fire that does not consume. After this baptism by fire, the soul becomes a single being that is transcendent of the I/Thou archetype of existence. The soul feels no heat but experiences a blast of enlightenment in which all that remains of the physical self is burned away. Like the Phoenix, a new immortal soul shakes off the ashes and emerges.

At this moment of rebirth, the Virgin of Light appears and officiates the ceremony in which She baptizes the new soul with five seals and with the Mysteries. This gives safe conduct through the void. The perfected soul is forever released from the dance of death of the birth-rebirth process. The soul ascends through the void to the Gates of Heaven, where the celestial portal opens wide. In Heaven the soul is One with the angels and attains to the Treasury of Light, which is the reward for journeying through the chasm to acquire the essential attributes of faith, hope, charity, reason, endurance, joy, goodness, creativity, and love.

This is the second article in the series addressing the ancient idea of there being opposing forces in the universe that are responsible for creation and for the continued vitality, creativity and integrity of our world. The light, or love-motivation force, and the dark, or fear-motivation force, are thought to be oppositional powers at work in the world. If we sort ideas into one of these two categories, Love-motivation or fear-motivation, which ideas will fall into which category? For example, sort reincarnation and sort resurrection to see where these ideas will fit. Perhaps they come under the same category, being variations on the theme of eternal life. Sort salvation-from-without and also enlightenment-from-within into these two categories. Now, go back and look at these ideas. Which ones do you select? Do you believe you can alter your spirit-soul's destiny by altering your personal beliefs?

The following shows the idea of oppositional forces at play in the lives of humans, as it was perceived by the Aztecs and the ancient Indians of Central America. The Aztecs were once love-motivated and they were open to earth energy and the Kundalini power of the serpent energy, which they called Quetzalcoatl, Feathered Serpent. This good god of theirs was finally displaced by Huitzilopochtli, god or war and of the sun. The values of the Aztecs became warped as they were guided by this Karmic sun god to produce the horrors of their civilization that we are familiar with. It wasn't always that way. There was a time when they subscribed to the teachings of the Feathered Serpent, who spoke to them of love, of the purpose of existence and of the meaning of life.

About existence and the meaning of life, an enlarged perspective can sometimes be gained if we think of life as a game. In ancient Mexico, the early Aztecs, Mayas and Toltecs played a game called Ollin, the Sacred Cosmic Ball Game. The game symbolized the game of life and taught each individual spiritual knowledge and the importance of being able to successfully mediate and manage the strong "positive" and "negative" universal forces. In this game, which was played at a temple-pyramid, all the world's a stage whereupon these great cosmic forces play out the dramas within them. Center stage and in the starring role is each individual, who channels and mediates the forces and within whom the forces are reconciled. Each person is thus the center of the universe.

The Forces of Light are represented by the World of Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. We are seeing again in again, in diverse ancient civilizations, this Kundalini serpent-bird symbolism. In the legend of the Aztecs, the priests had a vision in which they saw their people establish a great civilization in a marshy area where they would see a cactus growing out of a rock, and perched on the cactus, an eagle eating a snake. Today, the eagle, cactus and snake appear on all Mexican paper money. A plant growing from a stone, an alchemical symbol seen in alchemy of the 16th century and later periods, represents the Philosopher's Stone, resurrection symbol of eternal life.

Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, is an ascension symbol. The serpent and the energy it represents have been transmuted to a bird and a different energy, and now can fly or ascend. A modern depiction of Quetzalcoatl is seen as earth energy (Dragon current) becoming Kundalini energy. This powerful energy is depicted as capable of blazing through the physical body, setting it afire and transforming the vehicle into bird energy or ascension energy. Is it surprising that we channel the earth energy into ourselves and out the top of our heads? If the energy is not carefully directed, it can produce warrior societies, as in the case of the Aztecs.

Quetzalcoatl is associated with Venus, the morning and evening star. He is also a symbol of death and resurrection. Quetzalcoatl's Forces of Light are:

His opponent is Tezcatlipoca, god of the night sky and symbol of death and reincarnation. The Forces of Darkness are represented by the World of Tezcatlipoca. The dark forces are:

Miquiztli (Death), Cipactli (Idleness), Zozcaquauhtli (Spoiler), Acatl (Emptiness), Ocelotl (Hatred), Ozomatli (Inferior Man), Tochtli (Weakness), Tecpatl (Sterility), Ehecatl (Violence), Quiahuitl (Emotion)

The Sacred Cosmic Ball Game was a religious ritual game played on the steps of the temple-pyramids. The players were required to be knowledgeable in the sciences of time, astronomy, philosophy and similar disciplines that lead to wisdom. Without sound knowledge, the game of life cannot properly be played, and without wisdom it cannot fully be enjoyed. Priests wore symbolic masks to indicate the Power they represented in either the World of Quetzalcoatl or the World of Tezcatlipoca. Tla Man at the center of the game is humanity represented by a priest wearing a human mask.

The object of the game was for a player to move toward the top of the pyramid while assisted by the Forces of Light. The Forces of Darkness tried to drive the player down to the lower levels and off the pyramid. At the top of the pyramid is the portal to Otherworld, where one dimension converges with another. The players could move only up or down and could not stay in one place for long. No horizontal movement was allowed. At the higher levels of the pyramid stood the priests masked as the Powers of Darkness, who tried to push the player down to the lower levels where the representatives of the Powers of Light symbolized the lifting of the player upward. Players reaching the top of the pyramid defeated gravity and their spirits become one with the Light. The portal to Otherworld opened to them and they escaped the reincarnation forces of time and fatality.

A player advanced to a higher level according to whether his deeds and thoughts matched those of the Forces of Light. The player must move down the pyramid if they matched those of the Forces of Darkness. Prior to the game each player tried to accumulate small round rubber balls, awarded for every good deed. During the games these balls were given to the masked priests representing the Powers at work in the universe with whom the players cooperated. When a player was reduced to only one ball remaining, he was out of the game. This motivated each person to practice good deeds and thoughts everyday, to cooperate with the Forces of Light so that he might collect enough balls to stay in the ball game. The punishment for bad deeds and thoughts is early retirement from the game.

By this game of Ollin the priests were successful in instilling a moral code into the society, as well as teaching the foremost principles of this cosmology. The priests could effectively teach each member of the society about the higher calling of an individual, about that person's place and purpose in the universe, and about what one could expect at the next level of existence. The ultimate lesson to be learned in the Game of Life is that a human spirit can exist and be productive at various levels of mastership according to spiritual perfection and growth, and individual desire to align with the powers of Love and Light. (Ollin material adapted from Szekely from Mysteries of the Mexican Pyramids, by Peter Tompkins)

This is the third article on the idea of reciprocal as being the harmony of the cosmos. There could not be apart good things and bad, but there's a blend of both so as to make things fair. (Plutarch) The following Isis-Osiris mystery-myth demonstrates the ancient concept of duality as it was expressed in the persons of good-doing Osiris and wicked Typhon, with Isis as the Intermediate Principle, representing transcendence of duality. But how does she bring about the transcendence? Where Osiris is Mercy, represented by his crook, and Typhon is severity, represented by the scourge, Isis Unveiled unites them within herself by her unconditional love, her compassion and her responsive sexuality.

The three of them, Osiris, Typhon and Isis, represent the Three Primordial Principles of positive, negative and neutral, creating a dimension or plane of existence upon which the cosmic powers can actualize themselves through us, their human counterparts. If we accept this tri-fold energy concept as cosmic law, what does it means in terms of structuring our own reality and consciousness for the new millennium? How can the earth goddess society energies of love, compassion, mercy and forgiveness be released from the entrapment of religious institutions and widely promoted? The following is the story of the earth goddess Isis' love for Osiris and her compassion for Typhon.

In the beginning Thoth and Rhea, the Father-Mother, were in love. Rhea worshipped Thoth, and Thoth served Rhea. Within Rhea's Womb life began to form. The life therein was the vast vortexes and spiraling galaxies of the universe, and all was motion within her. Thoth introduced order into Rhea - creating space-time - and she gave birth to Osiris. A voice fell out with him announcing the good-doing Osiris is born. Next came his brother Elder Horus, a prophetic birth, followed by the wicked Typhon who leapt forth most unnaturally from Rhea's rib, preempting his sister Isis who should have come before him. Next was born Nephthys, her name meaning End. Isis and Osiris were in love and were born married. Also were Typhon and Nephthys but they hated each other. Thus was duality established.

Osiris was a God-man and carried a scepter symbolizing his power. He traveled all over the cosmos and brought order to the visible universe. His name is derived from sairein meaning sweep clean, and he swept clean the world. He provided fruit for everyone and taught them geometry so they could have health and wisdom. Osiris was a heaven-walker and he also sailed the heaven-ocean in his ship the constellation Argo.

While Osiris was away bringing order to the visible universe, his brother Typhon tried to take his throne. The goddess Isis held the throne for Osiris and kept Typhon at bay until Osiris could return. She had some sway over Typhon because he had been born a serpent, and out of compassion for him she split his tail in half lengthwise so he could have legs and walk upright. Typhon was a reptile with legs.

When good-doing Osiris returned from arranging the universe, he had been gone so long that he mistook Nephthys for Isis and slept with her, causing the birth of Anubis. No one would have known of his indiscretion except that he dropped a wreath of honey-clover from his pocket onto the bed, where Typhon later found it and swore to kill him. Isis found out about it, also. When Nephthys gave birth to Anubis, she left him exposed to die, out of fear of Typhon, but compassionate Isis went looking for the baby and saved it.

Typhon, plotting to kill Osiris, built a coffin-chest to would fit him exactly. He tricked Osiris into getting inside it, whereupon he closed the lid and threw the coffin into the Nile. Mythical creatures in the form of pans and satyrs spread the news everywhere of Osiris' dire fate and a panic broke out. Isis, all distraught, took her 3-pronged scepter, her symbol of power, and set out in her papyrus skiff to find Osiris. No one could help her except for Anubis, who knew what had happened and who told Isis. Anubis was loyal to her because she had saved him at birth.

With a broken heart, Isis began her search to find Osiris. She set out in her papyrus skiff onto the Nile where Osiris' coffin had been wave-tossed into the papyrus swamps of the Delta. It came to rest in Byblos against a heather-bush, which grew into a beautiful heather-tree because it grew around the coffin and body of Osiris. The king of Byblos cut the tree and used it as a pillar in the roof of his palace. He left behind a tree with 5 branches.

Isis found her way to Byblos, where the queen hired her as a nurse for her baby son Diktys. Isis nursed the baby with a finger of her right hand because she was a goddess, and with her left hand she beat her breast in mourning for her husband Osiris. Isis revealed her identity, becoming Isis Unveiled, and opened the tree trunk pillar, retrieving the damaged coffin-chest and body of Osiris. She placed it in her skiff and took it back to Egypt, where she hid it in the marsh swamps of Buto.

Typhon was out hunting pigs in the light of the moon with his hunting dogs when he found the coffin-chest of Osiris. He opened it and chopped the body into 14 pieces with his hatchet, scattering the pieces everywhere. Once again, Isis set out in her skiff to find Osiris, finding all of his pieces except for his phallus, which was eaten by the sharp-snout fish and the Nile crab. She took the pieces and buried them in the cities of Egypt, guaranteeing so many burial places of Osiris that Typhon could never find him. The Egyptians celebrated the Burials of Osiris by cutting a tree-trunk and making it into a crescent-shaped coffin.

Horus, the son of Osiris, came forth to avenge his father's death. He wore on his head the plumes of Isis and Nephthys, his plumes of power. The falcon on the perch was his symbol and also the golden hawk flying with the lodestone, the Bone of Horus. The Horus bird and the Typhon snake -- the sacred serpent-bird is Kundalini symbolism found in ancient Egypt.

The battle between Horus and Typhon and their enemy camps lasted for many days and Horus won. He tied and bound Typhon, intending to kill him, but compassionate Isis set Typhon free. Osiris:

"Himself is far, far from the earth, unspotted and unstained, and pure of every essence that is susceptible of death and of decay. Nor can the souls of men here [on the earth], swathed as they are with bodies and enwrapped in passions, commune with God, except so far as they can reach some dim sort of a dream [of Him], with the perception of a mind trained in philosophy. But when [their souls] freed [from these bonds] pass to the Formless and Invisible and Passionless and Pure, this God becomes their guide and king, as though they hung on Him, and gazed insatiate upon His Beauty, and longed after it--[Beauty] that no man can declare or speak about. It is with this the ancient tale makes Isis e'er in love, and, by pursuit [of it], and consort [with it], makes [her] full-fill all things down here with all things fair and good, whatever things have part in genesis [gene of Isis]." (Plutarch)

I hope we can all start on time and do the ritual together. If not, perform this ritual when you can. On the same day or the 6th or the 8th would be great. About 300 of us will be participating all over the planet, some actively and others in mind and idea. In this ritual we hope to establish the foundation of a group consciousness.

You may set up your portal anyway you like, as a circle, as an altar, as a specific design. I plan to construct mine in the following way. First, I will turn off my computer nearby because I will be working with two portal disks: Side 1 or Side 2 of the Phaistos Portal Disk and the Enochian Disk. Left is the Enochian Disk, which many consider to represent dark forces. Use it carefully and with full understanding of what you are doing - setting yourself up for an experience like this can be quite powerful.

This will be a very powerful ritual because we will be working with light and dark forces to activate the spiral energy needed to empower our living light-body, or Merkaba, through the planetary etheric matrix via inner plane portals to reach the Treasury of Light. The Phaistos Portal Disk is a portal opening disk, an open-ended geometric design, and the Enochian Disk is a portal closing disk, a close-ended geometric design.

The Enochian Disk was received in a mysterious way in the 16th century by John Dee, court astrologer for Elizabeth I (whose name is spelled out on the disk) and his associate, the alchemist Edward Kelley. According to them, they were crystal gazing and saw the disk materialize in the obsidian "shewstone." Appearing with it was a young angel about eight or nine years old named Madimi, who instructed them on the design and lettering of the disk. John Dee named one of his daughters Madimi. On comparison of the Phaistos Portal Disk and the Enochian Disk you can see how similar they are, the only two such disks and designs known to exist at this time.

At the center of the Enochian Disk is the word "Zeel," meaning re-turn, impossible to see on the web page and the printout. Also on the disk is the word "El," meaning "turn." In this context, I am interpreting "El" to mean turn and gauge, because the Enochian Disk fits over the Aztec Calendar. If you would like to see this match, email me and I will send you both drawings so you can see how the Enochian Disk is used to "turn and gauge" the Aztec Calendar. In this opening-closing ritual we will not be using the Aztec Calendar. We will use the Phaistos Portal Disk to open further the portal at Cheops Pyramid and then, using the Enochian Disk, close the Pyramid of the Sun portal when we are finished.

I plan to use my quartz to make the design of the constellation Orion, because the three pyramids at Giza are aligned to match the three stars in Orion's Belt. This is an "As Above, So Below" configuration. In the top section of Orion, I will place the Phaistos Portal Disk and in the bottom section I will place the Enochian Disk. Near each disk I will make an Egyptian Ankh cross with quartz. The Ankh is a "T" shaped cross with a circle resting atop the horizontal bar. Use anything magical you like, runes, quartz, whatever you have that is special for you to design this cross. I also will scatter various types of quartz and rose petals all over Orion. I plan to light candles before I begin the ritual, but I won't be lighting them during the ritual as we have done in the fire rituals. Instead, I will place 4 small bowls of earth in the 4 directions of the portal layout.

The ancient Egyptians thought of God as Light, Great Creator. Their name for the Creator God was Ptah. In this pyramid ritual we will call for Ptah Great Creator to shine the Boundless Light of creation upon us, to allow the Egyptian Shield Guides to pass through the pyramid portals, and to help empower our Spirit-Souls through the etheric planetary portals. Let us begin.

Light, Great Creator, we see your eternal power. From a beginning boundless to an endless end You create the galaxies and spin them with your whirl. Ptah Creator God, hear us now we beseech thee.

Light, Great Creator, you are the Fount of Light. You pierce the darkness, You make clear the path for all. You are the lord of joy! Ptah Great Creator God, hear us. Open the Cheops Pyramid portal and let these go through.

Osiris, Shield us Guide us. Ptah, let him go through! (Sprinkle earth from the North bowl onto the Phaistos Disk.) Isis, Shield us Guide us. Ptah, let her go through! (Sprinkle earth from the South bowl onto the Phaistos Disk.) Thoth, Shield us Guide us. Ptah, let him go through! (Sprinkle earth from the East bowl onto the Enochian Disk.) Mighty Horus, Shield us Guide us. Ptah, let him go through! (Sprinkle earth from the West bowl onto the Enochian Disk.)

Creator God, I have brought my heart. I wish to be a perfect soul. I am here when you call me. Ask for my heart-soul and I will give it. Light, Creator God, whose word is truth, whose word is truth. Ptah Creator God, lend me your power. Help me ascend my spirit-soul.

Great Creator God, fill the Nile of my heart with the Water of Life. Light me the path to your wisdom, for I seek you as you desire it. Over the power of darkness assert your mastery of command. Light, Great Creator, bestow upon me a special gift.

Ptah Creator God, I live in the dawn of your love! In this place of ascending, this Mer, I await your light. To my Spirit, my Ka, unite my Soul, my Ba. Ascend my Spirit-Soul, my Mer-Ka-Ba.

Propel my Spirit-Soul through the portals to the heaven-sphere. No passwords are needed now, no gatekeepers block my path. I ascend on spiral energy past the Moon, past Mars and Venus. I ascend on spiral energy past Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun.

Light, Great Creator, the road of souls is open to your heaven-plane. Send the Virgin of Light to seal my soul against heaviness of heart. Light is on my face and on the face of my twin soul and we are oneness. We ascend and see the Great God in the shrine of the Treasury of Light.

Ptah, I lift up my hands in prayer for your divine love and light. Invisible forces hinder Heart-souls and Spirit-souls on the path. Shine your light on the dark and let the dark seize upon it. Shield Guides come forward. Close the portal at the Pyramid of the Sun.

The ritual is over. Relax, meditate and experience the Light of the Great Creator God. Pay close attention to your dreams and remember to email me your ritual experiences.

About these ritual results, I think you will find them to be almost unbelievable, but in explanation of the Great Mystery they describe, consider this. The relationship to God the Transcendent is a function of You.

This is my ritual result. After I performed the ritual, I discovered an apport. From the French apporter, apport means to bring. It is the penetration of matter by objects which seem to enter the room through solid matter. In this case the apport came through my portal. When we performed the Rock Eagle ritual, I used a glass jar of water from the Chalice Well at Glastonbury Tor. It was given to me by Cynthia at a gathering in her home in North Carolina. At the end of the Pyramid ritual, I had not one but two identical glass jars of Chalice Well water.

The second glass jar appeared after I spoke the ritual words. My voice was different, and the words came out of me with an impressive tone of power and authority. I loved the feel of the words and the flow of the ritual. I said the ritual twice, to experience the voice and the words again. I meditated for about 1-1/2 hours, as long as the sublime, deeply cellular feeling lasted. Then I felt energetic and decided to move four milky quartz Rock Eagle rocks in my bedroom to outside on the patio. When I picked up the rocks I saw the second jar of Chalice Well water between the rocks and my printer.

The jars are twins in every way. The original jar is transparent glass with a black plastic lid with dust. The water is clear with white particles floating. The water has a distinct odor. On the bottom of the lid are the letters MRP in an oval. Beneath that are the numbers and letters, 70MM. On the bottom of the jar are the numbers 2244, the letter B in a circle, bottom center, and to the left of the B, the number 5. Below the B the number 6, the number associated with Merkaba.

The new jar is the same size exactly as the original jar. It is transparent glass with a black plastic lid with dust, identical to the original jar. The water is clear with white particles floating. The water has the same distinct odor. The new jar contains the same amount of water the original jar contained before I used it in the Rock Eagle ritual. On the bottom of the lid of the new jar are the letters MRP in an oval. Beneath that are the numbers and letters, 70MM. On the bottom of the new jar are the numbers 2244, the letter B in a circle, bottom center, and to the left of the B, the number 5. Below the B the number 5, the number associated with the Holy Grail. The jars are numbered sequentially and in descending order, like the vessels of the Kabala Tree of Life. I call the twin jars Ka and Ba, as in the pyramid ritual:

Ka is Spirit, the jar from above, and Ba is Soul, the jar from below. Collectively, they are Kabala.

The Chalice Well at Glastonbury Tor, in the county of Somerset, England, is supposed to have hidden within it the Holy Grail, making the water holy and healing. The Grail is believed to be the chalice used by Jesus at the Last Supper. It is supposed to have miraculous powers and was sought for by the Knights of the Round Table, the perfect spiritual knighthood, for whom the Grail materialized at the Round Table.

In the old legend, the purest knight of them all became the Grail King, or Queen as it were, and took possesion of the Grail. (Thanks, I'll take it. Nice feedback.) In the legend, the journey then becomes sharing the Grail, the idea being that becoming spiritually pure enough to manifest the Grail is easy compared to staying that way when you're out walkabout in the unenlightened world as the Grail King/Queen.

(Update - A couple of years after that I ended up throwing the Holy Grail twins into a Dempsey dumpster in Seattle because I was pilgrimage - out sharing the Grail so to speak - and they were taking up too much room in my suitcase. Also, I didn't ever want to be tempted to test my theory about drinking the water, which looked pretty vile, that only the current owner could safely drink it. The Grail is just the symbol of something, it's not the thing itself, so there's no point in schlepping it around in a suitcase. I bet Sir Galahad didn't haul his around in his saddlebags and he only had one to worry about, not two :)

(Addendum - November, 2017 - You can throw the Grail away, you can throw two Grails away, and it will come back. I got another one, this time a hardwood ornate box with a heavy pointed lid that looks just like the one she is holding in the picture above but without the stem, and that sits under my Buddha statue. It filled itself up with water and gave me another opportunity to drink some vile looking Grail water. I poured it down the sink. Perhaps I am missing my big opportunity to drink the Grail water and become immortal but I already am immortal so I don't know what's the point. If it means I can be completely healed of whatever I have, like osteoarthritis or asthma, then I am missing my chance. But my vision did correct itself all by itself to 20-30 the same week I found the new Grail water, and I put my hand in it, so perhaps it gave up on me and decided to do it's thing whether I drink it or not. My conclusion is, you don't actually have to drink the Grail water, thank goodness, to get the healing benefit, just have the Grail in your possession.

In esoteric mysticism, Glastonbury means Glass Castle, an esoteric reference to the glass wall between chakras 6 and 7, two of the life-giving energy centers of the chakra system in the body. The Grail is the symbol of the highest spiritual fulfillment, or chakra 7, the crown chakra.

To reach the energy wheel of chakra 7 and attain the Grail, the spiritual knight embarks on an inner world journey through the strange and mysterious chakra system comprising the psychical self. In this interior land of myth and metaphor, dreams and portals, stairways and houses, there exists an obstacle to be overcome and a trial to be passed by the spiritual knight. The obstacle is an impassible, transparent glass wall, part of a glass castle in an enchanted land of Kundalini/Camelot where Merlin the magician lives. In the land of Kundalini/Camelot are only two principalities, named Eros and Thanatos - Sex and Death. When the obstacle is passed the rewards are great, but the glass wall cannot be climbed, it is too high. It cannot be gone under, it is too deep. It cannot be gone around, it is too wide. It cannot be broken, it is too thick.

To enter the glass castle and attain the magical realm of chakra 7, the knight transcends the I/Thou archetype of our world of apparent extreme duality, and realizes subject and object are one. At the moment of realization the knight sees the glass wall and says, "I am that," then BECOMES the glass wall, passes beyond the self and enters the land of Camelot and the realms of the crown chakra, where our mortality and our immortality are one. At that moment, the Holy Grail manifests and the knight becomes the Grail King, or Queen as it were :)

I did this ritual and I coincidentally (not) met a reiki master and ever since, my crown chakra has been opening more and more, easily too.

Glyns Lowery: From the onset, I would like to say that I'm not unfamiliar with rituals and their power. I have been involved in rituals, initiations and spiritual phenomena for most of my 42 years. So I was interested to observe my heightened sense of excitement and anticipation during the three days preceding the Ritual.

I have always been an Egyptologist and my house is full of replicas of artifacts (all of which I lovingly used in my Ritual). I also have a special love for Egy. symbols, particularly the Ankh and the Eye of Maat (later commandeered by Horus) which I also used. So I wasn't too surprised when two days before the Ritual, I had a vision of a past life initiation in an inner chamber of a pyramid. The interior of the sarcophagus, the chanting of the priests and priestesses and the darkness and fear when they enclosed me in the tomb were all very vivid. I wasn't even surprised when the night before the Ritual, an Egy. guide, resplendent in dazzling gold and white, visited me. He spoke about the importance of the Ritual and said he would be with me during it's entirety. I felt his presence constantly up to, during and after the Ritual. He is here with me now as I type these words.

I had such a lot of fun preparing for it. I had pictures of Orion and, as you suggested, I used crystals to map it out ( in my case, large quartz spheres). I used lots of other crystals (all quartz except for a big piece of black tourmaline to help keep the energies grounded - an inspired addition for which I was grateful later), Egy. paraphernalia and jewelry. As I live in an apartment, I used dirt from my pot-plants!

After setting up and about 20 minutes before the ceremony, I lit a candle and sat before it to prepare myself. I took your point about there being no need for candles this time but try as I might, I couldn't extinguish it. So I left it burning throughout the Ritual.

At the appointed time, I began the Ritual in the company of all my unseen friends, my Egy. companion and a host of observers and participants. Although I was alone in the physical, my apartment was crowded. My sense of participation and excitement was at a peak as I commenced. As I read the words, it was if it was another voice speaking, full of power, authority and controlled emotion as a huge vortex of power and light came down (or rose up) from the sacred space I had created. It was so powerful I actually thought I would be lifted up into it and I'm reminded now of the movie "Twister". Majesty filled the room.

When I finished speaking the words of the Ritual, my Egy. companion arrived and spoke to me about the experience and future action in which I would be engaged. After that (or before, I can't remember), an enormous gold disk appeared above me and poured out a stream of brilliant, golden light. This seemed to last for ages. Then I became aware of my surroundings and the Ritual ended. The candle extinguished effortlessly.

I am not the sort of person who is given to having "experiences" for the sake of them. In fact, I tend to "test the spirits" quite severely before I'm convinced of the authenticity of an experience. I know this was real. My heightened sense of anticipation, my pre-ritual experiences and the Ritual itself convinced me that this was a momentous occasion full of light and power.

Thank you, Claire, for giving me the opportunity to participate. While I am somewhat aware of the importance of the Ritual for the Planet, I also have a glimmer of understanding of it's importance for me on a personal level. I feel the opening of the Portal and the resulting release of energy and light has begun a process that will create shifts in many areas of my life.

This wasn't just another ritual and I look forward to being involved in those planned for the future. In the meantime, all blessings to you, the Shield Guides and all who participated.

I made a layout of pyramids. One large solid brass pyramid, one crystal pyramid and one lapis pyramid. I placed these where I felt the portal was. I burned frankincense incense and 2 yellow candles. Then I took my special crystal and intuitively made a ring around it with some small amethysts. I also had a piece of azurite and gem silica.

I started out as I always do with a warm up of Kundalini breathing exercises. I was listening to some hemi-sync music called "transformation." I felt it was appropriate. While I was meditating each time I would hum I could feel a resonance like I have never felt before. When I was done with all the exercises, I got up and kneeled so that I could look in the mirror. This usually brings me into an altered state of mind to where I can see parts of my aura. I saw a purple tube of light (which I have seen before) above my head and up to the ceiling. Then the usual purple and green colored lights on the wall came within my vision. First from above and seemed to disappear into the top of my head. I felt nothing. Then the colored light, predominantly a luminous green began to fill my vision from all around me. It still was disappearing as it came close to me. Either into the top of my head or into my energy field, I guess. At one point I saw some diagonal lines jutting out to my right and my eyes felt all glassy-eyed as the green light filled my vision. In my peripheral vision I could see movement all around me. As I am writing this I see luminous flashes of tiny star-shaped sparkles of light as if they were going bing, bing, bing, and then gone.

In the early morning following the ritual, around 6:00, my son Kevin came into the bedroom nonchalantly and says, "MOM, I JUST RAN THROUGH A WHITE GLOW IN THE HALL. IT HAD A FACE TO IT!" No kidding word for word. He thinks he saw a ghost and he WAS NOT AFRAID. I must be doing something right!

For quite a while not much was happening and I gently pushed away thoughts that liked to arise - I had not prepared the portal well enough - had to scold the dog - that I definitely was not in Egypt - I was in Mesoamerica and sometimes I was one of those steep pyramids and I wondered what was inside them comparable to my own body centers and systems - then I relaxed into these somewhat negative thoughts and accepted them as such and mentioned the password Chasmodai and Gabriel just in case......shortly after that I found myself seriously contemplating how it felt to meet a being so pure and Godlike that I would give all I had to serve and love one such and it was very clear that no God-king nor hero would do - only a pure avatar. It was a new and unknown feeling.

Light started slowly to come through the portal - it was yellow but had a sluggish and not pure radiance / vibration. I shifted from being cold and hot and tingling for the rest of the sitting.....Suddenly there was a flash of brilliant crystal clarity near my field of inner vision and I followed it and for a while I was trying to erect the clearest crystal I have ever witnessed in some square and planning to attract the people from all around....Then the five-sided crystal (do not know the name for it) was inside me or I was it and the light - now bright and clear and really flowing - kept streaming in through my right eye and I watched with wonder how the light turned into crystal form in the third dimension and then with still more wonder how the light kept on streaming in and charging the crystal and how endlessly a crystal could receive and hold such high and intense frequency / energy..... until I could no more and closed the sitting sprinkling a little earth with the fingers and the touch of the earth brought me instantly back....

My husband joined me during the sitting ...his story was that he immediately went up somewhere and there he came across an (air) tunnel and flew along it for a while or he himself became the CONCEPT of the tunnel and he oscillated between these the whole time except for a short while sensing himself as a tall man with narrow waist and broad shoulders.

I tried to do the portal activation ritual at home on 7th December 2.00am (according to your clock I think), although I was lack of some materials I completed the soul saith. After then I began to meditate and when I closed my eyes I saw spiral energies bursting from the portal disk on my table. I don't know maybe I just imagined them, or I saw what I want to.

Have just completed my ritual and set up much like yours, I did mine in the lounge, on a large wooden coffee table, with all my crystals and pottery bowls and flowers and petals, and disks of course.

After the ritual I meditated and was floating above the ground watching myself dressed in gold carrying a bowl of fruit to the opening in the pyramid I went in and placed the bowl at the feet of the statue of god...and then left and passed another women carrying something in, there were four of us, then we went and sat at the four corners of the pyramid outside and meditated after a while we levitated up to the point of the pyramid and energized some more and then scattered to the four winds where we were then beamed up to the mother ship.........

Thank you for providing me with the info regarding the meditation for the portal ritual (Cheops). I would like to tell you my results. This is the first one I have done, though I have added my mental/psychic energy to the others that you have done (at the specific times).

My husband and I did this one, in my new meditation room. It had been a very chaotic storage room calling out for more purpose. I worked hard to change it over, and in doing so had several surprises. One "surprise" was the (West) corner of the room that is now the "Altar". The first night my friend and I (who channel once a week) began to channel, we realized that this was also a "portal" for a group of beings directly connected to the ley-lines of the earth (magnetic grid). They were very disturbed by what had transpired (the mad rush to haul all the storables out of the room) and were trying to make order again. (Basically my chaos WAS their order...and when I ordered things (cleaned up) it created chaos (in the energy fields). There was much to exchange about each of us as they did not interact with humans, and could not understand the discrepancies with us (that we see as normal, such as why do we have Light (candles) when we are in the dark (room) For a short while I need to inform them of my goings-on in that space, (as they aren't going to vacate- as the land changes right there and they need to stay to fulfill their purpose and lessons).

I set up my portal space as a circle of crystals (pointing inward) with some stone pyramids and circular fossils (such as trilobites and nautilus) East, West, North and South had brass plates of Soil. We were seated inside circle. When we finished ritual and closed eyes for the meditation, I was immediately impressed with a very strong circular energy pattern that kept moving faster and faster as it finally was a disk hurled quickly into space past Venus. At that point I knew I could be both in space and Earth at the same time. In the west corner (altar), a portal door appeared, and 4 Lightbeings stepped thru. There were 2 adults and 2 children (same as my family) and they explained that they, too, were doing lessons like we were, only not in a physical way. They imbued us with light from their heart centers and told me it would now be easier for us to be here (earth) as humans have so many distractions to keep us from what our Real Purpose is. I asked to hold their children (and did) and they held ours (and told me it wasn't the first time they have held ours, either!)

At that point I decided to go into space with the voice that was speaking to me (not the lightbeing) a kindly, elderly gentlemen's voice (tho sometimes it changed to female) I could not see him/her but trusted (from my channeling experiences) his/her energy pattern as "safe". He took me to a planstar that was where several "junior" creators were working. They had what appeared to be humanoid torsos on tables trying to create the energy needed to make appendages (arms, legs) There were already adept in creating other forms....This was like a school or university. (I was even shown one creating magnificent flowers, something I love on Earth)

Then I was taken to a planstar of Learning, and was told that this is where ALL go to learn. (Even as earth children in schools when we learn, a part of us goes here to do it) I asked if this was the akashic records..He answered "No", but that they existed here too.. but one didn't need to go to the akashic records to get here, one needed only to LEARN.

Next he asked me what would I like to see. I asked if there were a place like this for Healing. He said "yes" and took me to a planstar that was involved in that. It was a very serene and quiet place with (what appeared) all female spirit energies. They were all in flowing robes with hoods (Very Mother Mary-ish). We had to be very quiet and gentle here as he told me that Healing is a very Balanced thing,, and even us being here could upset that balance. I asked if I could have a healing.

I was sitting then and one came over and proceeded to imbue a very misty green white "light" over me (sorta blob-style) I could not feel it but it started to spiral and send off a pink hue as it rounded my body. I asked if my husband could have it, and He replied "He must ask for it" (of course, how silly) but he told me that while I was here I could send my husband the same energy (which I did).

I began to understand how there are parallel universes with beings that are involved in many of the things we are, some directed at helping earth, some busying themselves with their own tasks, and that these beings are both here (Earth) and where they reside,,, just as we are also, (Because of our Spiritual and Soul bodies being Everywhere, not just on Earth). The voice asked if I wanted to see anything else.. I asked him if there was an equivalent to our money system. He said yes and took me to a planet of nothing but small plutonium balls mimicking our landscape. He told me that we have to stop seeing it as a form of "exchange" and instead see it as "A Flow". (The planet had many "waterfalls" which represented the flow of money on Earth, but many stagnant non-moving areas of balls...that represented our convoluted ideas of saving, hoarding and restricting flow of money. These areas started to meld together and become solid masses, not circular balls as before. I instantly understood many concepts of BEING..tho I thought I understood much before this. I asked for messages for myself and husband and it was Osiris that delivered them to me. They were very relevant to us both. (I will not print them)... We were told that ANYTIME one can access this Energy/Portal/Communion, and that we must stop seeing ourselves as separate. Soon, more will know of our star-seeded space heritage and Humanity shall prosper as never before. The next day I was directed to study up on the Photon Belt, and its effects and changes to Earth in the coming times. My husband had many similar space orientations in his meditation, too. I hope to hear more from the others who have participated in this meditation and ritual.

I went to my journey class tonight (Tuesday night after the ritual) and the following is what happened. I kid you not! I could not wait to get home and write to you. See I told you I feel connected in some way to you and your work.

My way up there was through a tube of white light. I stood in my bathroom and was partially there when a hawk appeared. I rode the hawk up to a cloud and he disappeared. I saw pinpoints of flashing white light in each eye and the usual purple color I see during meditation. Eve, says that she thinks I stayed in the middle world. Also my ears were ringing. I had window crystal on forehead, and a double terminated crystal in each hand.

Journey to the upperworld to meet a teacher. Ask for information that might be helpful and what I can do to help them.

My way up was to try and use a star and then as in my dream, I am standing in the yard and see the hawk come spiraling towards me. I climb on the hawk and we start swirling or zig-zagging up higher and higher. I can feel my body getting lighter and lighter. My ears start ringing. The hawk pierces through a cloud and keeps swirling higher and higher. My body feels like it is floating. It is tingly and spinning. Suddenly, I hear, "I am here." I ask, "Do you have any information for me and is there anything I can do for you or for humanity?" I hear, "Yes. Read This Book Sirius Mystery. It is time for your Spiritual Ascension. You must leave your physical body so I can show you." I felt myself leaving my body. It was as if my physical body was still and my spirit was spinning out of my body. We had a conversation about my personal ascension. (I don't recall) I ask, "What is your name?" I hear, "Alavar." I feel a smile peel across my face. I recognize Alavar's name. He has spoken to me before. I have no visual of any of this. He said, "Someone wants to meet you." Then he was gone. Then I hear, "I am Christ the Lord." I say to myself, "No, I must be making this up." Then I hear it again in a deep voice, "I am Christ the Lord!" I feel a surge of energy run through my body. Not unlike anything I have felt before, but different. Then Eve, our teacher, started bring us back and I said, "No No No No!" I wanted so badly to stay. As I was coming back I heard a swirling noise in my right ear. When it was over I was back!

I know you are not a dream interpreter but because of the association with dreams in your past article I thought it might not hurt to just ask..Is there anything relative about a dream with a HUGE tower building or HUGE slender building that stands next to a school on a hill? I was absolutely at a standstill at it. The building had been built very quickly and was overwhelming. I know it means SOMETHING! Seems I was looking at it from another view too this time from midway like I was in a city like building looking out of a window straight at it..I was also afraid of its height. At a ground level it became made of bricks like on a well, and the foundation looked dangerous, leaning. On the other side there was a holding tank filled with water, it was rectangular with a bend and contained two whales or part dolphin mammals, one was dead the other was not...It was one of those dreams that seemed more real with high intense emotions.. About Chantyl's dream: Obelisks of Ra at Heliopolis

Ra or Re is the sun god depicted with a human body and the head of a hawk. Ra's chief symbols were the sun disk and the obelisk, a tall, four-sided tapering shaft or tower terminating in a pyramid. In ancient Egypt, pairs of these huge towers, each cut from a single piece of red granite and set on a cubical base, often flanked temple entrances. The chief temple of Ra was at the city of Heliopolis, an important learning center.

Heliopolis ("city of the sun") is about 10 km (about 6 mi) northeast of Cairo. Known as Per-Ra ("City of Ra"), it is referred to in the Bible as On, Aven, and Beth-Shemesh. 13,00 priests and slaves were there. Most of the religious literature of ancient Egypt was written by those priests, who were renowned for their learning. When Rome occupied Egypt, the obelisks of Heliopolis were removed.

Not sure about the whales/dolphins, but they are depicted in Bronze Age art throughout the Mediterranean civilizations. Maybe those dolphins were caught in the Mediterranean and put in the pool next to the obelisk. One of them died.

We had a group of 5 people and after some preparatory raising of the vibration thru chant, song, and prayer/invocations, we proceeded to do the 21 breath merkaba meditation immediately followed by the portal ritual you supplied. We did set up the ankh, used the 4 bowls of earth, and also the Orion configuration as you suggested. The energy was incredible and several times we had flashes of light from above. Everyone felt literally transported away; however, we all seemed to have some memory lapse as to what happened during that part.

For myself, I saw and experienced the Divine Mother energy along with several other Divine Hierarchical beings. Then suddenly a door opened and an Egyptian priest (he had that strange kilt looking thing on and a headpiece of some kind) appeared and held out his hand to me. It is hard to remember ever having felt such love flowing forth from a being before. I received a telepathic message as he beamed great love (agape type)at me that we had not been together for several centuries and that it was almost time to "come home." Although I am not a twin soul devotee, this is almost the feeling I had from him but more so like a missing part. We sat in silence for quite some time after the ritual not wanting to dilute the feeling.

First, to tell you about my experience of the Portal Opening Ritual, which I did synchronously with you at 3:30pm Hawaii time. I arranged my portal with the Phaistos disk and Enoch disk, and crystals arranged to form the shape of Orion and Canis Major. For Sirius I used a clear quartz carved in the shape of a dolphin, and a blue tachyon stone.

My experience was mainly one of SOUND. Though I live on a narrow, tree-lined lane that's ideal for meditation, I experienced an amazing surge of noise when I started my ritual with a unified chakra meditation. As soon as I expanded my heart chakra to encompass the throat and solar plexus, there was a sudden burst of car sounds, party sounds and voices from the frat house nearby, dogs barking and different kinds of music coming simultaneously from several directions. All of this noise at once just never happens here. I concentrated on surrounding my personal portal, and the all-embracing portal, with a mesh of golden light, and the noise receded.

I felt a special connection with Ptah during the ritual prayer, perhaps in part because I'm working on the opening creation sequence (including the birth of Osiris, Isis, Nepthys, Seth and Horus) from the theatre piece I told you about, and Ptah is much on my mind and in my heart. I felt that I was not petitioning Ptah as using my voice to assist our communications with him. I read the prayer aloud, and voice during this invocation to Ptah took on a particular tone, melody and cadence that did not happen during any of the other stanzas.

In the next stanza, I felt that a very rapid chakra realignment was happening. I felt a sensation of heat in my solar plexus on the words "Osiris, shield us, guide us" and then felt the heat move into my heart on the invocation to Isis, and into my throat as I invoked Thoth.

Another very unusual sound came on the line "Thoth, shield us, guide us." I heard, as I've never heard before here, the voices of hundreds of birds singing loudly in the trees that surround my house. Unlike the first sounds that I described above, however, these bird sounds were not a distraction or an obstacle to meditation. Rather, the birds seemed to be greeting and acknowledging Thoth. I felt his energy in my throat as I toned along with the birds.

As I invoked Horus, the heat sensation moved into my third eye and became much stronger. I felt that I'd BECOME the Horus hawk, looking on the earth from the sky. And when I invoked the Great Creator God, the heat in my chakra column moved up through the crown, and out.

As I visualized the Merkaba and spoke the words about it, I felt a spiral energy vortex enclosing my body, and rotating counterclockwise around it. I had no sense that I was being lifted physically or otherwise, but I did feel that the merkaba energy field was creating an energy flow that somehow completed the chakra activation sequence I've told you about.

In retrospect, I wish I'd remained focused on this sensation of movement within the merkaba field. Instead, I broke my own concentration by recalling that there were more stanzas to the prayer, and feeling that I had to complete them. After I finished the prayer, I tried to invoke and visualize the Merkaba again, but I could not create it as immediately and powerfully as I had before. Next time I'll remember that when I'm doing a ritual alone, I can afford to take my time, and go where the flow of energy and meditation want to move. Live and learn.

The Portal Opening Ritual has been a marvelous revelation. I now begin my days with an invocation to Thoth and a prayer for inspiration, to help me with what I want to write and otherwise create each day.

I've been involved in organizing "Earth Power Festival" here in Hong Kong ... the first of it's kind here in Asia and it was a long 5 days. The festival took place on Sunday, 8th December which is why I was not in contact regarding the Ritual of the Pyramid Portal and there were about 1,000 people that attended. It was a great success and we generated a lot of good vibrations and awareness here in Hong Kong.

Our collective group set up camp on the beach on Friday night and have been living in our tipi ever since. It has been the most incredible week for me and well, even though I wasn't participating in the pyramid portal I have never had such a pyramid experience. People were building sand pyramids all over the beach, we all sat one evening having dinner in the tipi and everyone notice pyramids in the fire, in the structure of the tipi in the doorway ... they were absolutely everywhere and people just seemed to pick up on it! It was truly amazing. I didn't mention about the pyramid portal until afterwards and it took everyone by complete surprise (jaws dropped to the ground!).

Where did the Mayas go? That great and mysterious civilization vanished nearly completely from the face of the planet, leaving us to ponder their disappearance. I believe the Mayan civilization experienced a planetary ascension. If this is true, then what does it mean to those of us who are working to bring about personal and planetary ascension? What happens exactly when planetary ascension occurs? I am hoping we can interact with the Mayas and learn from them some answers to these mysteries and learn some of their ascension secrets. Over the next three weeks we will focus our thoughts on the Mayas of the old world, and by so doing we invite the Mayas to focus their thoughts on us. The articles for this ritual, designed to help us get closer to the Mayas, will be Introduction, A Civilization Ascending, Ca-bala - Two Universes, The Portals of Palenque, What is a Portal, Locating Your Portal, and finally the ritual.

In my inner plane experiences of the Mayas, they are Time Lords, existing still in their own dimension. We can go there and visit them, even participate in their initiations and rituals. This is one of the results we hope to achieve in Ritual of the Sarcophagus Portal, to visit their world and interact with them. We can begin by gaining an understanding of their abstract way of thinking about virtually everything. If we can think like them just a little bit, the barriers between us will begin to dissolve as our minds meet.

The leader of the Mayas is Lord Pacal, known to many as Pacal Votan. He is a Shield Guide and the most accomplished of the Time Lords. Lord Pacal was in Palenque, Mexico in 603 CE. His father was the king. When Pacal was only 9 his father died, but Pacal could not claim the throne until he was 12. He was crowned by his mother, Lady Zac-Kuk, who narrowly held the throne for him for three years while fending off relatives asserting their claims.

Pacal became a great king, a Divine Ahau, and established Palenque as one of the most renown civilizations. He died at age 80 and was placed at the bottom of the Temple of Inscriptions, which he built as his tomb. He designed his sarcophagus as his portal to the afterlife, connected by a spirit tunnel to Otherworld. Carved onto the 7-ton lid of the sarcophagus are designs stating Pacal's personal beliefs and those of his civilization regarding each individual's place and purpose within the universe. The deeper meaning of these designs is a mystery to the archaeological world, but when viewed in the light of the Mayan religious beliefs, the symbolic designs take on clearer meaning and speak directly to us today in our own striving for conscious co-creativity.

The Sarcophagus of Lord Pacal is the most remarkable burial artifact ever unearthed in the Americas. Identified as an astronaut in a space ship and as a man falling into the underworld and being swallowed by the jaws of death, the sarcophagus portrays a man and a civilization in the moment of ascension. The sarcophagus was unearthed in 1952 after three seasons of work removing the rubble and boulders that had been pushed down the tunnel by the Mayas. The archaeologists discovered at the bottom of the tunnel a 30 ft long x 13 ft. wide carved slab that appeared to be the floor. Inside the corbel vaulted tomb was a "fantastic, etherial sight, a huge magic grotto carved out of ice, the walls sparkling and glistening like snow crystals. Stalactites hung like tassels of a curtain, and the stalagmites on the floor looked like the dripping from a great candle."

These startling visual effects were created by the lime issueing from the walls and ceiling. When the archaeologists lifted the slab from the coffin, they were greeted once again by a fantastic sight as they gazed upon the Great Green of the Cosmic Ocean, the thousand pieces of jade covering the king's body. "The great man--he was probably a priest--had no gold ornaments, but here were quantities of jade objects--beads, rings on every finger, bracelets, ear ornaments, and exquisitely carved figurines. These were in the form of flowers, little gourds, bats, snakes and heads, and human figures with the characteristics of certain Mayan gods. The buried man had a jade ornament in each hand and another in his mouth; his neck and shoulders were covered with a huge collar-and-breast ornament of jade beads. On his face were the remnants of a mask of jade mosaic."

The explanation currently being offered regarding the ocean of jade covering the king's body is that he was a great king, highly esteemed by his subjects. And this is true, he was a great king, highly esteemed, but the reason for the quantity of jade is more complex and far more fascinating.

"Three, seven, eight thousand was the creation of the world, when he who was hidden within the stone, hidden within the night was born." (The Book of the Jaguar Priest, Maya)

According to the symbolism displayed on the sarcophagus, Lord Pacal believed the cosmos was preceded by a time when Nothing Existed. This Nothing, which Existed before the material universe was emanated, before anything existed in the sense that we think of as existence, was Creator and Created, Thinker and Thought existing in the Primal Realm of Silence in the primordial state of undifferentiation. The Primal Realm of Silence is portrayed on the top portion of the sarcophagus, as recorded in the Mayan creation myth of the 16th c. CE, 700 years after the sarcophagus and the Temple of Inscriptions were completed.

"Before the world was created, Calm and Silence were the great kings that ruled. Nothing existed, there was nothing. Things had not yet been drawn together, the face of the earth was unseen. There was only motionless sea, and a great emptiness of sky. There were no men anywhere, or animals, no birds or fish, no crabs. Trees, stones, caves, grass, forests, none of these existed yet. There was nothing that could roar or run, nothing that could tremble or cry in the air. Flatness and emptiness, only the sea, alone and breathless. It was night; silence stood in the dark.

In this darkness the Creators waited, the Maker, Tepeu, Gucamatz, the Forefathers. They were there in this emptiness, hidden under green and blue feathers, alone and surrounded with light. They are the same as wisdom. They are the ones who can conceive and bring forth a child from nothingness. And the time had come." (Popol Vuh, Mayan)

Atop Pacal's World Tree is the green and blue Quetzal bird, the sacred serpent-bird. Hidden beneath the green and blue feathers of the sacred bird are the round faces of the Forefathers, who are "the same as wisdom." They are "there in this emptiness, hidden under green and blue feathers, alone and surrounded with light." Below them is the serpent, and again in this civilization as well as others, the serpent-bird kundalini symbolism. Out of the gaping jaws of the serpent, and nestled within kernels of corn, emerge the maize gods, the Energy-Intelligences and occult forces of the Mayan world.

The Maya deified the spirit of the maize, their main source of food, regarding it reverentially with love. Maize is the gift of the gods, and the jade stone is the Mayan symbol for the ear of corn before it ripens. They say the green corn, green like jade, is hidden within the stone. When the stone is smashed, the maize is born and becomes divine. The jade and the corn are different but complimentary aspects of the same Form or archetype, represented as maize gods.

When the Maya placed Lord Pacal's body inside his sarcophagus beneath the temple and covered him with jade, he became "hidden within the stone, hidden within the night." After his death, Pacal and the jade and the maize gods, all different but complimentary aspects of the same archetype, all returned to oneness, to Source, and Pacal acceded to his divinity. Lord Pacal, wearing kernels of corn and long hair like the maize gods, long and flowing like corn silk, is shown ascending his coffin, transcending death to rebirth within the pantheon of Mayan gods, and taking with him his civilization.

The Mayas say there are two universes, described by them as Ca-bala, meaning "two hidden." There is the universe of heaven (The Boundless Light) and the universe of earth (space-time and energy-matter). The Chinese call these Earlier Heaven and Later Heaven. On the sarcophagus Pacal is positioned between these two worlds. Beneath him, in the universe of earth, is his coffin, decorated with a stylized water lily monster. Lord Pacal is the Divine Child brought forth from nothingness by the Maker. He is a boy who became the great Mayan king, the man who became the brilliant Mayan mystic, the Shield Guide who came to guide his civilization onto the ascension path. Lord Pacal died at age 80, but his influence upon this planet has only increased since his death. Many are the people who are guided by Pacal Votan.

"I was born like a lily in the garden, And so also was I brought up. As my age came, I have grown up. And, as I had to die, so I dried up. And I died." (Incan King Pachacuti, 1475 CE)

In various civilizations can be seen the attempt to create more powerful geophysical portals in support of the metaphysical portals. The geophysical portals at Palenque are in the temple-pyramids. At the top of each pyramid is a temple containing an interior with an antechamber and three rear sanctums. The center chamber, called the "pib na," is a miniature house, the portal to wacah chan xaman waxac na -- World Tree House of the North. This subtle structure, the central focus of initiations into the Mayan mysteries, is in the dimension inhabited by the Maya. Beside the astral house is the astral World Tree, seen on the Sarcophagus of Lord Pacal. This World Tree, as we see it on the sarcophagus, is the Mayan conceptual equivalent of the Kabala Tree of Life. Kabalists write of the ascension experience of rising on the spheres of the Tree of Life, and we see Pacal ascending the stylized spheres of the Mayan World Tree.

The pib na is the physical portal and the equivalent of the metaphysical portal. Inside the pib na is the geophysical portal into the supernatural realm, called Otherworld by the Maya. The portal to Otherworld could be opened when an individual achieved an altered state of shamanic consciousness. To achieve this state of consciousness, many of the Central and South American Indians drink an hallucinogen. The Mayas used drastic measures, inflicting physical pain upon themselves and drawing blood, in order to enter the trance-like state of consciousness. The men used an obsidian knife to cut the penis, and both men and women ran a rope of thorns through the tip of the tongue. When the portal opened, the Energy-Intelligences from Otherworld entered and exited the body through the fontanelle, the soft spot at the top of the head at the crown chakra.

The Mayan portal rituals were done to invoke the "Vision Serpent," referring to the kundalini serpent/spirit tunnel of the metaphysical portal and referring to the 3rd eye chakra and remote viewing. They would travel through the portal/tunnel and "become the sky," or become Och Chan (invisible), the perspective gained by the Vision Serpent experience. Inside the House, of both the temple-pyramid and one's consciousness, exists the portal to Otherworld. Macrocosmically, the House of the temple-pyramid was accorded a special place in the center of the Mayan universe, exactly between the universe of heaven and the universe of earth, and connecting them. Microcosmically, Lord Pacal's position on his sarcophagus expresses this divine architecture, and the sarcophagus itself is designed to be a portal.

Everyone has a portal because portals are predictable openings in the curtain of space-time and energy-matter. Portals typically are sited near water, although they don't have to be. In the home the portal usually is part of the bathroom near your bedroom. The portal is near the bedroom because that is where you sleep and near the bathroom because that is where the water is. In my bedroom are two portals; one occupies the same space as the doorway to the bedroom and the other is the doorway to the bathroom. A portal "path" runs between them.

There may be something in your room that is marking the location of the portal for you. I have a ceramic of the planetary Shield Guide Gillian, who stands atop my sound system of my dresser and turns always toward the bedroom door portal all on its own power. There are two quartz points at the base of this Guide, and these pieces of quartz turn the Guide toward the portal. Gillian looks directly at this portal and if I turn the Guide to face forward, in a few days the Guide has turned back to look again at the portal. Investigate your sacred space carefully for such signs.

Quartz rocks and crystals are helpful in finding the portal and necessary in opening it. There are many varieties of quartz and probably all of them will work. Milky quartz has been, for me, the best. It is the most common quartz, but also the most mysterious. We still do not fully understand how milky quartz is formed. Place the quartz on the floor in different areas of the room and find the place that seems to respond somehow to the quartz. Don't worry if you can't find it right away, or even this time! We're just looking. Many people have quartz crystals but if not, the quartz in your jewelry will work. Just place the jewelry on the floor and try to find the portal. If you think you've found it or if you are not finding it at all and you have questions, please ask. I will email you again about what to do next. In this Mayan ritual it is appropriate to use jade, the sacred stone of the Maya. Also appropriate are all kinds of blue stones, to symbolize Maya Blue, the special color of the Maya.

Rock Crystal - clear; Amethyst; Citrine; Brown Quartz; Rose Quartz; Milky Quartz; Quartz Cat's Eye/Tiger-Eye; Aventurine Quartz; Chalcedony; Jasper; Agate; Sard, Sardonyx, Onyx; Chrysophase; Carnelian; Opal

The Mayas are here already, a week before the ritual! They will be here for at least two weeks. Tune into them and you may begin to experience them. I have hundreds of Mayas here in my home. Lord Pacal is here and he has brought with him an astral dormitory of initiate priests, young Mayan men who are following their spiritual paths. They have come for the ritual and they have come early to prepare themselves and us for this momentous universal activity. They are setting out their ritual objects, putting up posters, preparing their ritual drinks, and there is generally a flurry of organizational activity. The energy is very high here, as you can imagine!

This powerful event we are involved in is Light of the Cross, the Light produced when Spirit and Matter come together. Light of the Cross is beginning to occur right now at a planetary level, as the planets prepare to come into conjunction on January 23rd. The Mayas perform their rituals during planetary conjunctions. The planets will align to form the hexagram/hexagon, or 6-pointed star and Star of David. From the Emerald Table of Hermes Trismegistus, the hexagram/hexagon, sign of the Merkaba, of the light-body, is the most powerful of configurations, made even more powerful when the energy is alchemically transmuted.

By performing this ritual we will be grounding this celestial energy, transmuting it, or changing it, "into earth." All over the planet people will be focusing on love, compassion and understanding, the highest of virtues. During Ritual of the Portal we will be adding to this focus the intent of interdimensional communication and interaction - of bridging the worlds of existence. This ritual is therefore interdimensional in purpose, and just as we hope to interact with the Maya in their dimension of existence, they will be performing the ritual with us in hopes of interacting with beings in other dimensions of existence, creating a great chain of being.

If you would like to begin interaction with the Mayas now, no need to wait until the ritual. Verbally invite them to your home by asking them to come through your portal. It is a rare opportunity to spend time with the brilliant people who built one of the most astonishing civilizations we will ever see and who are still actively working to elevate this planet to its highest potential.

Friends of mine have been urging me to tell to my friends on the internet the story of how I became a Shield Guide specializing in grounded ascension. I am taking this opportunity to do so because this is the Mayan ritual and I have a special relationship with Lord Pacal.

An unusual series of events led me to become the lightwork project leader of the Ritual of the Portal for Planetary Ascension. This is how it happened, and I hope when you read my story you will gain a clearer vision of how and why Ritual of the Portal found you. I also am hoping, through Ritual of the Portal, to introduce you to this spiritual path by showing you levels of spiritual mastership available to you.

After living many lifetimes, most of which I am aware, even the details, I was born a Taurus in the United States in Georgia in 1948. I grew up here and have never traveled outside this country. The part of Georgia in which I live is a swampy, primeval area. In fact, I live between two swamps, the Okefenokee and the Altamaha. These are Indian names, I live on Creek Indian ground. In the pond in my backyard are alligators, Great Blue Herons, all kinds of wildlife. The pond is a protected wetland. So I am an Earth sign living in a wet, earthy place. After many years of meditating on water lilies and pond bugs, little wonder I insist on groundedness.

I have a Master's degree in English Education and I once owned and operated a karate school in Atlanta. I was always a physically active person, keen on fishing and hiking, and also a voracious reader. Many of the books I read are modern metaphysical books, but I also have read many of our great modern philosophers, the great Hellenic philosophers, most of the Perennial Philosophy, and the great and not-so-great literature of the Western World. I speak English only, except in light-body I am fluent in Italian.

Several years ago my life changed when Spirit began to manifest in my life. I lived in Atlanta, Georgia, I was single (I am still), I worked as a commercial real estate leasing agent and legal assistant and I played tournament bridge professionally. This was my life and had been for many years until one day my close friend and bridge partner unexpectedly lost her 51 year old husband to a heart attack. He was straightening his tie one morning, getting ready to go to work, and dropped dead. The paramedics revived him six times, and he was dead on arrival at the hospital. But he didn't go away, immediately. He remained behind in spirit because he had something important to tell her.

Three weeks after his death, my friend called to tell me of a strange, vibrating place in her bedroom. She believed her dead husband came in and out of her room through that spot. With my tarot cards I went to her home to see if I could contact her husband. I had never done anything like this before but I felt very hopeful. My friend showed me the vibrating spot in her bedroom and we called it a portal. It was intensely electrostatic and we could not stand in it for more than a few seconds.

I laid out the tarot cards, and she and I called for the forces of the universe, elements of the universe and beings of light to come and help her communicate with her husband to see what he had to tell her. Through the portal came 30 or 40 beings, it was hard to say how many, and they brought with them great joy and love. The room filled with a gossamer haze, and we had a party, we laughed, we joked, we were so very happy. That night after the spirits left, my friend had a dream in which she spoke at length with her husband. In this dream he told her of a mortgage life insurance policy he owned that had been mistakenly paid to his ex-wife. They held each other close and kissed and said goodbye one last time. Then, he was gone and has not returned. She has since remarried.

The next day my friend's attorney contacted the life insurance company, who wanted to wait until they had recovered the money from the ex-wife before paying benefits to my friend. Of course, the attorney threatened legal action, and the insurance company sent her a check for close to $100,000.00. The same night my friend spent with her husband, I experienced a psychic event in which a brilliant white light went bang in my biofield. From that moment on I had spirit guides who have never left me for even one second. My friend and I had such a wonderful portal experience, we wanted to repeat it. The second Ritual of the Portal involved my friend and I, two married couples: my cousin and his wife and two good friends who lived near me. We held a conference call portal ritual to see if we could interconnect at the spirit/astral level.

We realized by the amazing things which occurred during this ritual, that portal ritual could be held world-wide to the benefit of many people interested in spiritual self-development and self-empowerment. To accomplish this, I went online the middle of August, 1996, and in September I emailed Ritual of the Stonehenge Portal. I sent one of the emails to Rene Mueller at Spiritweb, and he responded by posting the ritual on his website. Rene is instrumental in bringing awareness of Ritual of the Portal to the international spiritual community on the internet. After Rene's action, several websites began posting the rituals and other related texts.

In September, prior to the email of Ritual of the Stonehenge Portal, the Shield Guides appeared in the inner planes, initiated me as a Shield Guide and began Ritual of the Portal for Planetary Ascension with Fire Ritual to Invoke the Shield Guides. The Shield Guides assist in selecting the planetary vortex-portals we link to, the series in which we activate those portals, the dates and times when would be most beneficial to establish heightened planetary consciousness, and the rituals to perform. We have so far performed fire, fire water, and earth rituals. We will perform air ritual during the Sarcophagus Portal and then Concourse of the Forces - Fire Water Air Earth - during Ritual of the Cathedral Portal. The Shield Guides are teaching us how to channel earth energy with the chakra system, and how the chakra system is fundamental to personal and planetary ascension.

With the exception of the Shield Guide material that follows at the end of this biographical, I do not channel these guides in the popular way of channeling today, but we work together in a most interesting way that is very fulfilling for all of us. They make many sounds around me, and whoever is present can hear them. They ring bells, they ring chimes, they tap on my computer as I write to keep me on the right path. If I am making an error in my writing, they make a tap that I have learned means "no, not quite." If my writing is good and correct, they make a tap that means to me, "well done." When they are very pleased with my efforts, they ring the astral bell. It is a deep, resonant sound. Most of the time they ring it for the heck of it and because I like it and because the sound keeps our portal here in my bedroom open all the time. When my computer is off and email comes in, they tap to tell me. They can tap syllables loudly or softly so that I have some idea of who the email is from and I can decide whether I need to respond right away. They release a beautiful aroma of spring flowers in the room. This is quite an experience for people who come to visit me.

Using lit candles I can see my guides as shadows against the wall. I can see their hands make the candle flames sway and jump. They can produce electrical phenomena and are able to move physical objects with force. They move objects in my room from place to place. At night I see my guides face to face, and we talk and travel the universe together. They tell me directly many things for me to write word for word. They physically touch and move in and out of my body at will through the top of my head at the fontenelle at the crown chakra. They perform complex inner alchemical operations on me to keep my crown chakra and my back of the head chakra activated. My guides are very diverse and come from all parts of the physical and spiritual universe. Some of them are human, some are alien, some are pure light, some are pure consciousness, some are bird tribe, and some seem like a mixture of all of the above.

I have been through many inner plane initiations and received many initiatory awards in group activities at the astral/light body level. These awards represent levels of spiritual mastership corresponding to the chakra system, or the seven seals of Solomon.

Also in astral body I made a Divine Marriage with Lord Pacal of the Maya and was married in a ceremony at Chartres Cathedral. In this "marriage" I accessed a part of myself capable of time travel. I am known to the Maya as "Pacal's Bride." In Palenque, Mexico where Pacal lived and ruled as king, are two hieroglyphs depicting me. One is in the Temple of the Inscriptions, where the Sarcophagus of Lord Pacal is buried. The other is in the Temple of the Sun placed there by his son Chan-Bahlum.

A series of hieroglyphs tell the story from the Mayan perspective of my life with them during the 7th century CE when I held the throne as one of only two queens to have ever done so. I claimed the throne on October 22, 612 CE, (March of 1993 in our time) 202 days before the end of the ninth katun, when Pacal was nine years old. Known to them as First Mother, I held the throne for three years for my spirit husband until he attained the age of twelve. He could not keep the throne without my intervention because too many powerful family factions were vying for it. The Mayas interpreted my appearance as divine intervention. Now Lord Pacal is here with me through "divine intervention." I was there for three years their time, but in my own time in Atlanta only one week passed, and I remember all of it very clearly as "dreams." The hieroglyphs in Palenque tell the story of what I did there, saying "she materialized and crowned herself."

When initiated as a Shield Guide, I received from three Shield Guides a silver chain-link necklace and a silver shield attached. The following is the material I channeled:

The silver shield is the symbol of the Shield Guides. They are a vast organization of diverse beings from all parts of the universe who are organized to assist those in lower evolutionary domains. They disperse themselves throughout the universe, sometimes in physical bodies through physical births. When they take on physical bodies, they also take on a forgetting of themselves so that they can learn the people and place and where they are. Then, as their lives continue, their fellow Shield Guides come to awaken them to their higher purpose. They come to remind them of the reason they are here.

The Shield Guides lead civilizations onto ascension paths. When a Shield Guide has reached a certain level of awareness and re-awakening, that guide is given the symbol that they once wore. The symbol of the Shield Guide is a silver shield, sometimes attached to a silver chain-link necklace. The chains in the necklace symbolize the vital links between the guides and the people they guide, and how both are dependent on the other for their fulfillment in existence. The shield symbolizes the planetary organizations that the Shield Guides represent. This is an interdimensional organization of life systems throughout the phenomenal and neumenal universe. This is a winged body of planetary systems, symbolized on the shield by a winged being.

To receive the silver shield of the Shield Guide is the way one knows of their identity as a Shield Guide. This is the awakening part of a process over a long period of time in which the individual is given the opportunity to grow spiritually and to learn of their Shield Guide identity. Only Shield Guides present the silver shield to a Shield Guide. The Shield Guide is a bridge from this evolutionary domain to others that require the guide's presence. The Shield Guides will come when they are called. To summon them, perform Fire Ritual to Invoke the Shield Guides at Stonehenge ritual.

We live in a bipolar physical world in which opposites attract. Our magnets are proof of it. But in the transcendent world of Spirit known as Otherworld to the Maya, a different law of physics exists in which like attracts like. When accessing this world, we want to remember and honor this law of physics. We have a certain responsibility as guardians and custodians of our interdimensional portals and personal planetary stargates. We are responsible to center ourselves in love. Love is more than emotion, it is a high vibrational field of energy, attractive to other "like" fields of energy.

We are trying to accomplish several objectives when we are activating and using interdimensional portals and personal stargates. One of these objectives involves channeling earth energy to our chakra systems and then using this psychic electromagnetic energy/light to build our light-body/Merkaba. When we center in love, the highest vibrational energy available, as we build our vehicle of light, we build at the same time the path of our journey because like attracts like in Otherworld. Our light-body/vehicle when built of love will take us to love.

Our metaphysical portal is part of our subjective-nonordinary reality. It is part of our biofield and we are potential portals awaiting activation with love's vibration. In our outer world is our personal planetary stargate, part of our objective-ordinary reality. Our outer stargate corresponds to, and is included within, our inner portal. This is because the formula for reality as we know it involves an inner-outer relationship and a space-time shaped like a doughnut in which the inner is enveloped by the outer is enveloped by the inner, and in which the outer is a projection of the inner. Alchemy calls this simply As Above/So Below. In order to make this formula of inner/outer reality work for us successfully, we learn to both ground and transcend.

What about unconditional love? Do you love yourself unconditionally? By filling ourselves with our unconditional love, by forgiving ourselves and then giving ourselves our own love, we will become a vehicle of love. If we love ourselves unconditionally we will not need the unconditional love of others. We will like to have it but we will not need to have it. When we are filled with our own love we are fulfilled. Then, we impart this unconditional love to our friends and relatives by doing nothing at all, because unconditional love of self flows out of us and spreads around us, touching those close to us.

What about giving unconditional love to the world at large? This is a lovely idea when our unconditional love flows that far abroad. If it does not flow that far, then we have to borrow from ourselves the love we give ourselves in order to give it to the big world. Instead of doing this, we can give the world at large another gift. We can give it our compassion, the natural by-product of unconditional self-love that requires no taking from ourselves to give. When we love ourselves unconditionally, we gain more and more the transpersonal experience and transcendent sense of being part of the World Soul, the spiritual family of All That Is. When we love ourselves, we can freely feel and give compassion - the energy of love filled with emotion - a self-generating emotional energy that rides the waves of our consciousness as content, and touches every part of the Great Family, everything we see, everything we know, everything we feel.

In this doughnut shaped, inner/outer reality in which we live, all the love we give ourselves flows outward to others as love and compassion and then returns to us, and we experience it as love that comes from outside of ourselves. In alchemy this within/without experience is stated in the palindrome V.W.I.W.V. In the Grail legend the palindrome used is Sarras. By this is meant that while the physical journey takes place "without," the Grail itself lies "within," all in the realm of Sarras.

When building our light-body/Merkaba of love energy, we focus on self and on love. The path of our journey, the path of love and compassion, becomes established and we travel in our Merkaba vehicle in Otherworld, a world wherein like attracts like, and our love goes to love. The light-body/Merkaba we build at the individual level is a love energy pattern and field of functional reality. It is our Holy Grail, holy because it is built of love. In the Grail legend the question is asked, "Who does the Grail serve?" The answer is, "The Grail serves me and I serve the Grail." This is the love formula we are applying in building our light-body by using our portal and personal stargate energy. We use quartz to attract powerful, crystalline earth energy through ley lines to a convergence point - our portal and personal stargate - and then we alchemically transmute it to love by focusing this energy on ourselves with love in mind. Thus, we serve the light-body by building it of love and empowering it with love. We use the light-body as vehicle to take us to love, thus the light-body serves us.

In dreamtime, when we are occupied only by sleeping and resting, we learn to control our vibrational rates as we re-experience ourselves as pre-emergent consciousness and as beings of light. We practice functioning in our light-bodies. We learn how to use the light-body like we learn to use our physical body. It is during dreamtime that we can join our individual light-body to larger light-bodies or group Merkabas which we experience as interdimensional UFO's. When we can alter our vibrational rates to travel interdimensionally, we can travel on these ships because when the interdimensional travel begins, our light-bodies will not fly apart. By building our light-body/vehicle out of love we have an assurance we can vibrate at a proper high level. In my own subjective experiences, I have many times been on these interdimensional traveling ships.

These interdimensional UFO's I have experienced are group Merkaba's, vast self-contained light-bodies replete with all kinds of fantastic spiritual-based technology. Planet Earth contains something these interdimensional beings are interested in; people who bring with them light-bodies built of love. This is the power source for these huge Merkaba ships. And the people on these ships recognize that wherever beings exist who have this potential to build love-Merkabas, then all that is required is learning how.

The people/beings within these ships practice solve et coagula. In alchemy is the study and practice of solve et coagula - dissolve and combine. We can learn to move into light-body, travel to our destination and then bring our physical body to our present location. Some light-body travel involves physical body relocation. Through the alchemical process of solve et coagula and by virtue of doughnut-shaped space-time, our co-creative reality possibilities include time travel and making the history of the past. These advanced light-body travel techniques can be learned, keeping in mind the saying from alchemy, "Natura non facit saltus." Nature does not proceed by a leap, but by many intermediate stages. We're just learning.

In summary, upon opening your interdimensional portal and your personal planetary stargate, your responsibility as custodian and guardian is to center yourself in love. One way to help do this is to perform Fire Water Ritual to Call Forth the Wings of Love, a love ritual designed to help you center in love and designed to fill you with love. This is the Rock Eagle ritual.

I hope we can all start on time and do the ritual together. If not, perform this ritual when you can. On the same day or the 17th or the 19th would be great. I plan to perform this ritual twice; on the 18th and then on the 23rd during the planetary conjunction. About 300 of us will be participating all over the planet, some actively and others in mind and idea. In the Pyramid Ritual we empowered our spirit-souls through the etheric planetary portals. In this ritual we will call upon the Universal Mother energy to guide our spirit-souls to the interdimensional realms of the Maya.

Set up your portal anyway you like, as a circle, as an altar, as a specific design. I plan to construct mine in the following way. Lord Pacal and I co-creatively made a blue violet ritual cloth into the shape and design of the sarcophagus and decorated it with fabric paint. He picked out the cloth at the fabric store by tapping on the wall when he found one he liked, and he taps to say what colors of fabric paint he likes. And then I put the colors I like. Along the edges of the cloth/sarcophagus, I will place my milky quartz. Using Mayan Oracle and Xultan Mayan tarot cards, I will make the shape of the World Tree seen on the sarcophagus. This will be a Latin cross (high horizontal bar). Use anything magical you like, runes, quartz, whatever you have that is special for you to design this cross.

At the center of the sarcophagus near Lord Pacal's position, I will place pieces of pounamu (nephrite jade) sent from New Zealand by Glenys Lowery. Thank you, Glenys. Jade is the sacred stone of the Maya. I also will be using lapis lazuli, a blue stone to symbolize Maya Blue, their special color. I will be using obsidian, a stone used by the Maya in portal rituals. I also will use a wand healing crystal, Brazilian amethyst, Tiger-Eye quartz, red phantom quartz, rose quartz, rock sapphire, hematite, amethyst pieces, quartz points and the Dwendi healing stone from the Philippines. In the ritual we will be asking the Shield Guide Lord Pacal, whose name means Hand-Shield, to raise his Crystal Shield for Crystal Family.

I have a number of other symbolic objects I will use as well. Before I begin the ritual I plan to take a bath and then light candles and leave them burning so the invisible air can be demonstrated by the flame of the candles. I am hoping Spirit will work with the candle flames during this ritual. We will be using several Mayan words, defined within the ritual. Let us begin.

First Mother, Divine Matawil! Ahau zac uinic!
Pure and resplendent person, Matawil! Ahau!
Your husband, Father God, created time and space
Before the 4th universe was born on 4 Ahau 8 Cumku.

After the end of the 13th katun it came to pass,
All your children, the precious ones, the planets,
They came into conjunction, the cherished ones.
Child of Lord Pacal held a ritual at his Waterlily Place.

Now is the time come again, First Mother, Ahau, Lord.
When your children, the planets, come into conjunction.
The father-mother and the divine children are gathering.
We hold a ritual for you and for your precious children.

First Mother, Divine Matawil, Sacred Blood! Ahau, Lord!
This is the day your bright white Light will touch the earth.
I await you at my portal, my sanctuary. It is a holy thing.
It is my place of entering. You see, it is my Waterlily Place.

Matawil! There was love when the 8th Lord of the Night ruled,
You touched the earth with your blood. It was 6,000 years ago.
It was 5 days after the Moon was born, and there was love.
It was 20 days after setting the south sky place.

Ahau zac uinic! Now again is the time of the 8th.
My spirit tunnel is ready and I am looking to Otherworld.
I have built this pib na for you. This is our house together.
I dedicate my house to you. It is here at my Waterlily Place.

Divine Matawil! Write my name in the Book of the Highest Heaven.
Here is your Na-Te-Kan, divine-cross. I am in conjunction with you.
Touch the earth. Teach me to walk the sky. I am sky walking!
Och Chan! I become the sky! Vision Serpent will take me there.

Pacala, Mah Kina Pacal. 8 Ahau, raise your Hand-Shield.
Shield us, Guide us. Crystal Shield for Crystal Family.
As I walk Hurukan to wacah chan xaman waxac na, shield me.
As I walk the sky to the world tree house of the north, guide me.

Wacah chan! 6 sky! It is the Highest Heaven.
It is the name of the House created by the great god.
And beside the house is the World Tree. I can see it!
My spirit-soul goes to 6 sky and becomes invisible there.

First Mother, see this divine cross I have made for you.
This is the day I am in conjunction with you, Matawil!
This is the day you write my name in Heaven's Book.
Father-Mother God and all the Children. We are Divine Family!

The ritual is over. If you would like to add your own personal ritual and requests, now is when to do it. Now just relax and enjoy the experience. Please send me your ritual results as soon as you can.

In Ritual of the Sarcophagus Portal we are performing Air Ritual for Spirit-Soul to Walk the Sky. A week prior to the first ritual I began to sky walk with some of the people who do the rituals. Here is what we discovered.

The Hale-Bopp companion is a space station of such immense size it qualifies as a Free World, a bountiful and colorful manufactured, self-contained planetary system bound to no star and free to move about in the universe. The Free World is a beautiful, shining city, blessed by the universe and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony, peace and scientific interest. It is a world whose doors are open to anyone with the will and the heart to get there. The Free World long ago established an As Above/So Below relationship with us.

The bright red, blue and silver Free World is built upon the principles of Sacred Geometry. The spherical Free World consists of 13 planetary ecosystems held together by 4 horizontal planes of electromagnetic attraction-repulsion, with the structural integrity provided by 42 vertical and diagonal planes. Some of these planes have enclosed, brightly lighted highways with conveyances that move passengers along at rates of speed sufficient to produce G force effects.

Inside the Free World is advanced spiritual-based portal technology. Many of the beings there are human and humanoid - friendly, smiling people accustomed to extraterrestrial travelers such as Roger and me. Usually hidden and floating far above and away, the Free World tours the universe, establishing life on planets capable of supporting life and monitoring the progress of that life. At some point in a planet's evolution, the Free World appears and makes itself known to the people on the planet. Photographs showing the comet without its companion do not prove the companion does not exist. The Free World moves in and out of that photographic range and travels where it will.

I have been a visitor on the Free World many times and have recounted in books my experiences there. But this was before it appeared to us recently. Most of my experiences right now relating to the Free World involve the various types of ships that are connected with it, both interdimensional Merkaba-ships and city-ships at the bottoms of the oceans. The Free World exemplifies a planetary ascension with which we are not familiar. I think it is safe to speculate the entirety of our techno-civilization might not ascend, but clearly there are many of us who will ascend despite the times and situations in which we live. The Free World offers an ascension opportunity, and to this end there is portal work to be done.

At the beginning of the material for Ritual of the Sarcophagus Portal I asked the question, how can a civilization experience a planetary ascension but the planet is still here in 3rd dimension? When I speak of the Maya, I say they exist still in their own dimension. They had a planetary ascension and yet are still working toward planetary ascension. The planet did ascend with them. How can this be? This is a good question to research. From about the 15th century on is a considerable amount of hermetic and alchemical literature regarding "Divine Offspring." By this is meant several ethereal planetary spheres enwrapping the planet in layers, and these Divine Offspring of the planet are interconnected.

These planetary astral bodies vary in density, with some layers much finer than others. Each sphere functions as a real dimension for the people who inhabit it and who also created it at the same time they were creating their planetary ascension. This is why I say create the light-body in love because the path of the journey and also the destination are created at the same time. This is an operation of the transcendent law of physics called the Eternal Now.

Ascension is a spiritual path, an ongoing process. The horizontal number 8, the lemniscate, symbolizes this path and means the eternity of process. This is why long "dead" people are trying to help us with our ascension. On this path, we don't/can't go off and leave the others on this path behind. It doesn't work that way. And it could be some formula is in operation regarding the number of spheres required for aether to completely take over and the 3rd dimension to be truly left behind, no longer existing. More likely it will seem to exist as an underworld dimension, like the Maya believed, and like we think of 1st and 2nd dimensions. From the perspective of the Maya in ascension, 3rd is an underworld dimension.

When we use linear thought, part of our laws of physics, to think about ascension we naturally think of it as a linear process. In this respect, ascension is like a ladder. We get to a high rung on the ladder and then we reach down and help the next person up the ladder. The Kabala Tree of Life is useful as a symbol of this. We start at the bottom of the tree, the Shekinah sphere, and we ascend the spheres of the tree. Kabalists will clarify, the spheres descend and we ground the light. This is what we are doing in Ritual of the Portal, with the Celts, the Egyptians, the Mound Builders, the Mayas, etc. They descend, we ground, they re-ascend, we ascend. We are links in a great chain of being strengthening our connections.

The "higher" we go, the more form becomes force, matter becomes spirit, all happening by alchemical stages, not by any giant leaps. The whole thing seems linear but is spherical in concept. It seems linear when we are talking ascension because our language casts it that way, but it is spherical when we are doing ascension because we "come around" and meet the archetypes at the next level, or dimension. This is both beautiful and complex, and as usual with the universe, beauty and complexity are partners.

"Each of the Planetary Spheres [planets] is a complete World containing a number of divine offspring, which are invisible to us, and over all of these Spheres the Star [Sirius] we see is the ruler." (Proclus, commentary on the Timaeus of Plato)

In this ritual we performed Air Ritual for Spirit-Soul to walk the sky. I have been walking the sky at night to the Free World space station, touring it and taking classes. I am learning many new things, including how to command my vibrational rate, how to operate some of the spiritual-based technology on the space station, and how to use psycho- and telekinesis as skills.

In the form of psychokinesis I am learning, I use my mental powers to control the movement and positioning of marble-sized white balls of light containing information in the form of light. With my mind and my eyes, I move them like cursors, making a ball of light touch a red square similar to a computer radio button, and then I cause the light to press the square. This takes me to the next level in the exercise, and I have a choice of putting the light ball above on a smiling face button or below on a smiling face button, but the sequence is important. If I put it above first, my progress is deleted and I will have to start over. Once, when I put it above first, I realized quickly it was incorrect but was able to recover by mentally undoing it. Then I put it below and this was correct.

A lady instructor gives me lessons in uses of electromagnetism in telekinesis, and I am learning how to use magnetism to extend my mental powers so I can control objects at a distance. I hold in my hand a magnetized hollow tube and mentally cause to be pulled into the tube various objects at different distances. I have a choice of selecting an object close to me, an easy skill to accomplish, or selecting one farther away, a more difficult skill, and then I use the magnetic tube and my mind together to retrieve the objects. I have a very nice instructor who tells me if I am working below my skill level and reminds me to try the more difficult tasks.

I am being tested for various desirable qualities, such as honesty, loyalty, compassion, forgiveness, gentleness, courage, teamwork, organizational skills, ability to command and use astral body like physical body, willingness to sacrifice self for others, etc. The tests involve being placed in lifelike situations that evoke these qualities if I have them, and then I use these qualities to deal with circumstances as they occur, where only certain qualities will resolve certain situations. For example, if a lot of small animals are lying wounded, only compassion resolves it. If there is danger of my associates being harmed but I can flee injury by leaving them behind, only loyalty resolves it. If rapid escape by running down a narrow spiral staircase with tiny steps is the only way out of a threatening place, then only agile astral body capabilities resolve it.

On the Free World I visited a huge dining hall, where there were hundreds of people eating buffet style. I had difficulty maintaining continuous conscious awareness and kept falling asleep and waking up, so they gave me a couch against the wall to lie on so I could stay with them, and one of my guides sat there with me as I slept off and on, and woke me up occasionally to keep me focused on my location. After the meal was over and everyone left, I went to a market area where I was given to hold and study an amazing selection of what I thought were ceramic tiles in a large square box. I studied them closely and I never saw anything like that before. They were various sizes and made of materials not of this planet, and most of them were black and white, or brown, black and white. There were other colors as well. Some looked like milky quartz rocks and some looked like regular terra cotta tiles with painted designs. They were held in place in precise rows by some kind of white putty material and I'm not sure what they are really, or what they are used for.

On one skywalking trip, I traveled with a guide I had not traveled with for a long time. When he appeared, wearing only a royal blue terry cloth bath robe, I said to him, "I haven't seen you in a long time." He replied, "You haven't called me." I asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "You know my name." He was wearing a stick-on label on his shirt and I looked at it to see his name. The tag said, "Mars '58." I looked at him in question, and he said, "That's when we hope to get there."

Then the experiences began, graphic and beautiful, filled with brilliant white light and so many colors. Holding on to this guide, our arms wrapped around each other, we flew through the air, spinning around and around, and as we spun I had visions of city neighborhoods, quaint houses all the same stuck together like maybe in New York. Nothing around here like that. I saw trees with no leaves, just bare branches with white ice. Everything white and black. I told him, "It's Atlanta!" He laughed. But it seems now it was not Atlanta. Then I saw water, it was a river in a city, and over the water, big silver steel bridges. I said to him, "It's Jacksonville!" And he laughed. Then we dove down into the water, it was a dark gray color, and I was afraid, but I told myself, "You can breathe under water." So under we went and I could feel the river water swirling on my body and we went down, down, down. I opened my mouth and took a deep breath, and I could breathe the water.

Way down under the water was an entire city. The guide took me all inside it. We walked down long, wide hallways made of beautiful, grained wood, shades of brown, from light to dark. I commented on the arches over the hallway, how they were "V" shaped and lovely. He was surprised, he hadn't really noticed or either he had seen it so much he was used to it. He took me to a room with all kinds of electronic games in it, like pinball, metallic and lighted with neon lights and making noises, like in a game room. Brilliant neon colors of green and yellow, blue and silver. Then he said he would take me to the kitchen, so we walked along the hallway and he took me up some stairs. People were walking around everywhere in this place. I wondered if it was a UFO, and these people, I looked at them carefully to see if they were human and they were. I thought, "Why don't they let us know about them? Why don't they take us into this world of theirs and share it with us?" I thought, "We must be related to them because they look just like us."

As we walked up the carpeted stairs to a room, my guide said to me, "I would take you up top and show you the sights from there, but it would scare the hell out of you." I said, "Then don't do it, because you know what happens to me when I get the hell scared out of me?" He looked at me and smiled. I said, "What happens is, I wake up! And then I won't be here any longer with you." A woman behind me, who was coming up the stairs with us, she laughed and said, "I like her. She's honest." Then we went into the room and it was not the kitchen but a room filled with Christmas gifts and Christmas music, like a gift shop. I touched many of the things I saw, the Christmas ornaments, a lot of red ornaments and gifts, red and silver and gold. It was a party and the music was loud and I woke up.

People ask me how I get to the Free World and get on board. I have guides who help me. Without them, I couldn't do any of it. Ritual of the Portal is designed to help people get guides who can teach these different, spiritually advanced things, like how to modify your vibrational level accurately, how to do psychokinesis, how to work with electromagnetism, how to shape shift, how to operate spiritual-based technology, how to travel through portals, how to "bend" time, etc. You cannot teach this to yourself nor can other human beings teach you. Guides are required.

Several people who do the rituals have seen me skywalking. My ability to skywalk and remain conscious and aware has increased significantly since we called upon Matawil, the Universal Mother energy. I refer to this feminine collective consciousness energy-intelligence as "the Matawil" because my continuing experience of it is that of being in the company of a group of very powerful, middle-aged women. They are with me now as I write this. Their primary colors are pink, gold and silver, and in my first waking vision of a Matawil, I saw a beautiful, vibrant woman wearing a big round, gold hat, like a gold sun disk flat on top of her head, and wearing a floor length pink evening gown. Then she became the golden face of the sun. As the face of the sun she said to me, "Traveling through the universe, spiraling through the universe is First Mother energy." This energy is powerful god-energy, and I have asked of it several favors, from making my computer go faster to healing me of an persistent infection. The Matawil energy-magic works instantly.

In the company of the Matawil is the awesomely powerful Hurukan, whom we called upon in the ritual. Not as powerful as the Matawil, Hurukan is the ancient Mayan sky god of hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning, stormy weather, wind and rain. The Hurukan is masculine collective consciousness energy-intelligence expressing as beautiful and turbulent weather. While skywalking I have experienced the Hurukan as a massive storm with three huge, dark tornado funnels that I was pointing to and watching. The tornado funnels were made of thick, dark clouds and two of the funnels danced around and around each other, moving in and out, changing sides, coming together, pulling apart. Out of the other funnel shot all at once about 30 bolts of white lightning in a blast of white light, and I ran for shelter. I usually visit the Matawil and the Hurukan every night.

Last night the Hurukan appeared to me both as a man and as a very powerful tornado that I was watching and running from at the same time. He was demonstrating his power and assuring me I was in no danger whatever. I took cover, anyway. I am aware also of the Hurukan during my waking hours when he makes beautiful bad weather. He made beautiful bad weather the day before the ritual on the 18th. The clouds were black, gray and fluffy with patches of pink and blue light streaking through. I stopped the car to look at them, they were so unusual. The wind was whipping the tops of the pine trees around in a stylized, controlled manner, and this also caught my attention. This wind was very artistic. Even the rain seemed different and wonderful. Last evening, the sunset here created a big, beautiful pink sky. In the ritual results you will read of beautiful stormy weather, the signature of the Hurukan. The pairing of Matawil and Hurukan expresses the Mother-Father god energy we called for in the Air ritual.

Come to think of it we had a couple of storms around that time [of the ritual]. Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary during the rituals, or anything related to the Maya, but I had a dream that I don't understand and is odd for me and have some elements that you are familiar with so here it is. Dream Jan. 24: On a bus with other people the thought came to mind of going to Montreal. The bus seem different, airy and small, the street narrow the buildings look old Spanish colonial style. Went to an art exhibit and look at a picture. There's water, and someone waded into it and played with two gigantic crabs. I got in a small sailboat with two others and realised no one is steering, so I steered the boat. Noticed a reversed C shaped shallow rock formation underwater that comes close to shore on my right, so I steered left to avoid it. There is another rock underwater that I also avoided. Then noticed a few people going into the water from where I was previously headed. They were going in the middle to see what is there.

On the 22nd of January, at the healing group that I facilitate, one of the participants kept seeing the Star of David, as well as other symbols. A friend who is just beginning to open up and explore had the Star of David come to her in a dream. This is also a symbol that I work with and feel it is a key. I do believe that the Star of David is a trigger. When I was looking through Leadbeater's book on the chakras I came across a diagram that said the star was attributed to the heart chakra in that system, and the element was AIR. Interesting illustration on how a time capsule could begin to release information at the right time. I already knew this, however, I felt I was being shown by this illustration how I might teach others to be more aware of information (light) coming their way.

This was my first Ritual, and I found it to be quite extraordinary. Prior to the start of the ritual, I performed the Fire Water Ritual in order to clear myself and to center myself in Love. Back in September I began to feel the need to build a small pyramid near the entrance to our house. I built it out of red patio bricks, and made it 5 tiers high. Inside of it I placed 4 quartz crystals, 2 clear, masculine, and 2 milky, feminine. They were placed in each of the 4 directions. I believe that this pyramid has greatly enhanced the energy flowing into my home, and through my portal. I often times stand on top of the pyramid to ground myself and to connect to the 7 directions (E,S,W,N, Up, Down and Within). Anyway, I also did this before the ritual began. During the ritual, I sat or laid in front of my altar, which is situated in the portal area. It consists 6 quartz crystals, 3 each masculine and feminine, 1 small amethyst crystal cluster, 1 amethyst point, a small cloth medicine wheel patterned in the Lakota tradition, with 4 colored stones, red, yellow, black, and white, for each of the 4 directions. The cloth has a small green circle in the center to represent the Earth, upon which I placed a pine cone and a sage and sweetgrass smudge stick. I smudged myself and the portal area just before we started. During the ritual I placed a small blue stone (Sodalite) and a jade pendant in front of me.

I began reading the ritual words, and when I got to the part "Vision Serpent will take me there!" I felt the presence of Quetzalcoatl. Then after the words "walk the sky to the world tree house of the north, guide me," my spirit guide, Pi, told me she would take me to the tree house of the north. I turned out all the lights, and prepared myself for the journey. We entered a tunnel, but it was more like a cave, not a light tunnel. When we came to the tree house, I saw a fire with a circle of people around it. I knew that they were the Elders, the Ancestors. I was asked to sit in the circle, which I did. Then Lord Pacal stepped into the center of the circle and began a ceremony. After a while he came over to me and asked me, as Huitzilopochtli, to join him in the center of the circle. Then Quetzalcoatl joined us. I agreed to join Quetzalcoatl to help restore this Balance. Then Claire joined us in the center. Also, one of the Mayan women joined us and told me that she would be my guide. During most of this, I had the sensation of spinning in circles, faster and faster. I wasn't dizzy, it was more like my energy field was spinning around me. I rejoined the circle and sat next to Claire, still spinning. It eventually stopped, as the ceremony concluded.

When we left the tree house, Pi led me back though the tunnel, to a hub of sorts, and then through another tunnel to a small chamber. It was completely dark, but I felt no fear. She handed me a torch that I lit, and I could see other torches on the walls of the chamber. I had the feeling that I had been here before. I lit them one at a time in a clockwise manner, there were 12 in all. Once they were all lit, other people began to enter the chamber. I noticed something on the floor in the center of the chamber. It was the Sarcophagus of Lord Pacal. We formed a circle around it, and Pacal and Claire stepped into the center. Quetzalcoatl was here as well. As this was going on the song "The Phantom of the Opera" began playing in my head (we had just seen the musical 2 nights before). It was if I was the Phantom, and he represented the Dark Side. A short ceremony took place. Pacal and Claire activated the Sarcophagus Portal. As people left the chamber, I extinguished the torches, in reverse order. We then returned through the tunnel, back to this reality. I then completed reading the rest of the ritual, and ended the session.

Hi there well I did the ritual. It was cloudy and snowy, light snow. I took a bath first like you. I put lithiophilite Crystal powder in the bath water which was a first. Then I made a circle with a cross in the middle with all my stones and crystals and a candle, used my rattles and drum to call on the spirits and then read the ritual at 6:30 my time mountain. And then sat with it for 30 more minutes. I did not feel anything out of the ordinary happening. I wonder if I connected with the spirits and I am just not aware that I did ??? I left rituals stones and crystals out. I want to leave it out until the 23rd. I was really hoping for some sign that I was making a difference. Well I will keep trying, the absence of conformation has not stopped me yet, but it would be nice!!

I tried to do the ritual for Planetary Ascension. I must admit I had a bit of trouble with the pronunciation of the words. But I made my cross with the gemstones I had and hoped they were ok. I didn't really understand what I was doing at first but I felt better afterwards. I must admit, these ceremonies are not really my 'cup of tea' but I will try them anyway.

I think the next part of the ritual (the 23rd) is going to be important, too, but I think the Mayans have already done something big. The energy is definitely different. It's just not what we expected but then, isn't that typical of Spirit? I'm very happy with things so far. I think it's been magical. Everyone reckons that it's the feminine energy that's coming in these days. It's certainly been the case for me over the past few years - hence my interest in goddesses. I think that was what the ritual was all about. The reason it was so surprising for me is that I would never have thought of the Mayans as doing it. It was very profound.

I saw a bright white cross of light that stayed in my vision for about a minute. I heard Pacal say the name, Eduardo. In his deep, Mayan voice he said "Eduardo" with an accent I have never heard. It sounded so authentic, like how a Mayan man would pronounce this name the way it should be pronounced. It was exciting to hear! I think he took you (Eduardo) traveling last night (he just tapped for yes) and you can't remember. That often happens when traveling with him because he time travels, not just astral travels, and often you can't remember a time travel experience.

I know that we (Lord Pacal) get together and talk about the teaching and our mission.

The meditation continues... Sometimes the quickening vibes are coming in so strong I can hardly stand up.... I lie there under the pyramids and vibrate... these are big energies...Didn't get a lot of visuals, but did get a lot of energy, and could really feel the connectedness, not only with Spirit and with Mother Earth, but also with all the others meditating. I was really grabbed with the realization that the energies of the meditation did continue, right on through the night, and right on through yesterday (Sunday)... and now...

...and a sense of anticipation... a sense of knowing, deep inside, that this current series of momentums is significant... really significant... in a variety of ways. Pacal has been with me quite a bit. Told me as I was sitting on the mountain that he and I are deeply connected, though wouldn't specify exactly how, and I didn't try to press the issue. In terms of others.... my friend with the calendar shield had a wonderful meditation... leaving her with great peace... and a sense of another shift to a higher level. She and I have been working for months on clearing our 'stuff' to make room for greater telepathic connecting. The locating and activation of portals will no doubt enhance that. Wondering if you and/or your friends sensed my presence at all during the meditation Saturday. There was one point where I felt shimmery-blue... or cobalt blue... like the sword... and in that form I was able to visit and join you and your gathering for a few minutes... couldn't see, but could feel that I was there. No idea what's in store today. The energies do continue to pour in... and the meditation does continue...

Thank you for including me in this ritual. This was my first time participating in such an event. I found my portal. It is at a conjunction of (4) doorways. (bathroom, bedroom, closet and living room) I placed crystals and stones in it (2) days prior. I found it with my crystal pendulum. I meditated and relaxed in front of my portal and recited the ritual. I felt as if someone were touching me on my back along the spine. I was very sleepy and went to bed. The next morning I could recall my dreams, which is something that I haven't been able to do for the past 6 weeks or so. I feel this, for me, was a successful result.

Four of us gather for the ritual on Saturday night. Carol, David, Donna, Janet. Carol had seen that we needed a round portal and had seen a hula-hoop. A hula-hoop? So I got one. A purple "fruit loop" that smelled of grapes. We set that up in the middle of a big white cotton rug I have from Mexico. Inside the hoop, we placed all sorts of sacred objects: crystals, wands, stones, Runes, Jade beads, a photo of a Mexican hibiscus. There were stones of all colors and textures, representing all of the earth. The crystals, we found, helped to anchor the energy and acted as light conductors. Carol also brought a conch shell from Hawaii. We live in the desert, not much water around here, so the conch called in the spirit of water, and the old ones from Mu. We also set up a folk art wooden cross made from burnt match sticks at the east end of the circle. An onyx stone of a bear was in the south, a stone from Palenque in the west, and another crystal in the north. We also set lighted candles all around the room. We also made offerings of fruit that sat on the table in front of the east window. There was a fire going in the fireplace. It's cold out here in the high desert, but the fire was also a part of the calling in we discovered. fire and air.

Before the ritual started, we each drew a card from the Mayan Oracle to focus our intent. David received Etznab, the Hall of Mirrors, Carol the 4, Donna the 6 (6 Heaven), and I drew Akbal, the Abyss. Of course each card was appropriate for each of us. At 6:30 Carol blew on the conch and the ritual began.

I read the incantation and we could feel the energy building. Carol then followed with a guided meditation. She is the clearest seer among us and what she saw she guided the rest of us in. I don't remember all of it, but what I do remember was the pyramid that formed in the middle of the circle. Lord Pacal was standing in the middle of the pyramid and bowed to each of us in turn. He was like a hologram and later Carol said that she understood that the hologram was to remind us that we can also project ourselves to wherever we wish to go. And since Lord Pacal was in many places at the same time, it seems to indicate that we also could do that. There was also a part about each of us becoming a hologram, by seeing our faces in the pyramid and this reformed our understanding of what "reality" was. We became a ring of fire, moving together, hands interlocking, and joined other rings until we were coils of fire light all across the world. There were figures dancing in the flames, dancing in joy. When the guided meditation was over, we were each to pick up the hoop as a portal and step through it and lift it up and over our heads.

David saw the energy swirling around him like a vortex when he stepped through. Donna picked up the hoop and felt the energy tingling in her hands. she was filled with joy. Carol saw a gossamer web held in the hoop and when she stepped through, and lifted the hoop over her head, she saw herself reflected in the center like a mirror, a reflection or hologram, an empty projection. I saw a net spread out over the world, lines of light from all of us meditating, but the net was covering those who were not involved also. A crystalline net of love and energy. The world was a portal as each of us were portals.

After stepping through the hoop we sat quietly in meditation. I saw a volcano building in my first two chakras. A chant welled out of me, words that had no meaning. Carol said the sound was energy in motion, encompassing us in a spiral. She saw the Mother and Jesus standing on the earth, holding hands. At some point, we were blowing bubbles from a pocket sized bottle of bubbles that Carol carries.

After an hour or so we came out of meditation at about the same time. I went to the table and peeled one of the beautiful oranges and gave slices to everyone. The orange was refreshing and seemed to anchor us all back in the room - the taste was sweet and juicy and blessed. We sat for awhile and told about our experiences.

When we finally packed up and put away the stones, we each drew a Rune when they were back in the bag. Three of us got Raido, Journey of the soul, self change and union. An interesting lesson since we were doing a Sarcophagus Portal ritual. Donna pulled Solwelu, wholeness. Which seemed to fit with the 6 card she'd pulled earlier. Odd for three of us to pull the same rune. About nine o'clock, we went outside to look at Orion, shining clear above us. The Mayan called Orion the hearthstones. As we were standing outside the house, looking at the sky, we noticed a sheen of energy, an aura coming off the house. I live in the country in a little two room adobe house so the roof is flat and the energy coming off had the same flat square-like configuration.

The next morning at church, each of us had such shining eyes. That's what I particularly noticed. And the joy we'd raised, or participated in all over the world was tangible to others and lifted their spirits also. Carol said that Sat night she dreamed that she and I were on a ship, a mother ship, with many rooms. My sleep was so deep I don't think I even turned over in the night. The energy has stayed in the house. Not as intense as it was Sat. night but last night while I was meditating, I felt it all around me again, radiating into and out of my body. I am deep and quiet these days. Not exactly a holding pattern but sort of like. Deep and quiet. Many of us are staying in a meditative place most of this week. And the Star of David, a six sided star from conjunctions of planets, will form in Jerusalem at almost the same second that it forms in New York city. The timing is amazing. And that day, according to the Hebrew calendar, is Tu b'shavat, the festival of the Trees, of Nature. And the great tree of the Maya, the one on Lord Pacal's sarcophagus, is the Milky Way. It is the great tree that holds up the sky. We travel in time and space. We travel into a new dimension of freedom. I send love and peace and joy.

The energies yesterday were unbelievable.... had me shakin' several times.... had to lie down I was vibrating so much.... your energy arrived in my chest a couple times yesterday and the day before, it was very noticeable. Had to query inside to identify for sure that it was you, but am getting more familiar with the vibration. The magnitude and frequencies of the energies that shook me like a can in a paint mixer so much yesterday are very heavy indeed. We are really crossing into a new phase. I get it all vibrationally, and emotionally.... and it's really good for me to have the tangible information you receive and provide, to add perspective and context to experiencing these energies that are whipping this bundle of circuitries into whatever I am becoming.

Pacal has taken over as my temporary primary guide. So serious and mysterious sometimes, and so subtly funny other times. And his power is always apparent. Not giving me much information. More that he's guiding my steps through this tidal wave of universal energies. Thank you for sharing him.

A few nights ago I had a dream which I could not forget and didn't had a like of it ever. I said the words of Maya ritual went to bed and tried to keep my mind free of all thoughts I slept in this manner. I dreamt that I am somewhere and the sky is dark there was someone with me who showed me a very small space ship. I got into that space ship in bursted into space and this was the best experience I ever had. I saw stars moving back very rapidly and these words came in my mind that, "forget everything and enjoy the experience." Then my space ship landed somewhere and I saw the dark sky again but this time it was a very advanced civilization with strange buildings. I also saw some people. I also saw some animal size of a human but looked like feather-less chicken standing beside a shore, the animal or whatever that was had bright eyes. That's all I could remember. I never had any such dream. I enjoyed this dream very much and would like to have more such dreams. What was all that I saw who was that person who showed me that ship and I went where from where what was that animal who were those people?

Since I found my portal, I've been "testing" it with my pendulum. WOW, full-circle swing and quite strong. Also, one of my prayers during the ritual was to have some extra income since I am saving to re-train as a healer (massage for license and polarity) so that I can then move to Hawaii and with my Chiropractor/Acupuncturist friend, open a clinic. Since Sunday, I got (3) offers to make money on separate occasions. Quite interesting.

I had a wonderful experience this morning that I have to share with you. As I was just waking up, around 6:30 am, our time, my thoughts were drawn to the Sarcophagus Chamber, and then I was there. No tunnels this time, the thought occurred and I was there. There was a group of us there, I'm sure you were one of them. We had formed a circle around the portal, we were all holding hands and dancing round and round. The feeling of Love that I felt was tremendous. It was really flowing. It was a wonderful feeling. Thank you for making it possible for me to experience that! Shortly after I came back home, I was reflecting on all the Love I felt, and I heard [my guide] Pi say, "It's only just begun, Roger. It's only just begun!"

You were in and out of my meditations today so while I am still in this half place between I will write of today. I'm on mountain time so the prayer time here was 10:30 a.m. and the conjunction at 12:55. I was in meditation from 10 until almost 1:30 with occasional stirring times to put another log on the fire and get a drink. The wind stopped at the time of the ritual.

I set up my altar with the same wonderful purple hula hoop. In the center I put a Mexican clay figure of a couple in intimate embrace. I realized these last few days while reading some of the net stuff that my wish was for the Sacred Marriage. Not a lover, or a partner but the Sacred Marriage. Around the edges I placed the Palenque stone, jade beads, a piece of onyx, and an angel in a crystal ball. It was interesting that as each hour or so of meditation ended and I moved into another phase, I added something to the altar circle. And at each session, I was in a different position. I began sitting in a chair, moved to cushions on the floor and for the last hour was lying down with my head to the east and touching the hoop.

The first hour was aligning with the Archangel Metatron and the light of Kether. I prayed for the earth, I prayed for all sentient beings, rocks included. I stayed in a prayer state for some time. In light. It must have been 10:35 when I saw a rush of golden light come through me, golden golden full. And then the light became a sun shape enclosed in a circle. What an enormous light came through. And then I sat on in such joy and thanks.

For the second hour, I concentrated on sending light and love into the earth and saw mountains, the great mountains in northern Montana I think, and the sea and whales jumping. All of me and all of the world was rejoicing. There must have been more but I don't remember. I remember the joy. joy. Oh, yes. I remember. I was a clean channel of light, down through the lower chakras. What was that? Like a cylinder of light through me. Wide. Clear. At some point I peeled an orange that was still here from the meditation on Sat. night and ate it. Grateful.

For the time of the conjunction, I was flat on the floor. I added money, bills and change, to the altar and a male figure god on a Mayan healing pipe. I placed a pink candle on the east side of the circle. It's Mexican style, a tall glass cylinder with a picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The candle and the male figure were opposite each other on separate sides of the embracing couple. Through all three house I wore a pink prayer shawl. As I was lying on the floor, I breathed in red earth energy through the bottom of my feet and breathed it out my crown chakra. And then I would breathe in white light from the crown and send it out through my feet. I went deep. I saw the three great pyramids, at Giza?, and saw them surrounded with a pink light. I forgave the elder priests, I forgave myself, I felt streams of old karma or old energy flow out of me. Whew. I opened. More open? And then I fell into a deep trance and I'm not sure what happened. I surfaced right at 12:55, offered my prayer for the Sacred Marriage, for the flow of money in and out of my life. Got up. Knelt and touched my head to the floor. And I was exhausted and filled with energy at the same time. I looked out the east window and it was still, so still, like the world was holding its breath. And then I simply climbed on to the couch and covered with the comforter and lay there a bit.

And now I will step into a hot shower and feel the blessing of wet. I will dress and walk into the world new. Peace to you my cyberspace sister and Shield Guide. Thank you for being part of the journey.

Wow! What a day! I began my day with my usual clearing exercise. As I was finishing up, I sensed that you were waiting for me to go on a journey. Once I was ready, we departed for the Mayan world. We went to the Sarcophagus beneath the Pyramid of the Sun. There was a ceremony. I couldn't get a clear picture, but I sensed that it was a wedding ceremony between you and Lord Pacal. I got a few fuzzy pictures of you in a long white wedding dress. You were very beautiful. The ceremony went on for a while, but I don't remember too much detail. Then you and Pacal left through the portal on what I assumed was a Cosmic Honeymoon.

Again, I could feel a tremendous amount of Love, and I could actually hear you this time as we read the words. (I still can't pronounce the Mayan words.) At the part "Vision Serpent will take me there," I went into the light tunnel and emerged at the Pyramid of the Sun. All of the Maya were there to greet us. We all met in the courtyard in front of the Pyramid. Those of us from this dimension formed a circle around the courtyard, then we sat and watched the Mayan celebration. There was dancing and ceremony. Then you and Lord Pacal stepped into the center, with a large vessel or urn. They went completely around the circle, pouring a drink of some sort (wine came to mind) to everyone. Then we all drank a toast to our coming together as One. We all raised our hearts to Heaven and to the Earth Mother in celebration of our Love. Then all of the Maya intermingled and personally greeted each of us with embraces and hand shakes. We all joined together into several concentric circles, with each circle of people dancing round and round, and alternating circles going in opposite directions. After a while, I stepped out of the circle, and then I turned into a white eagle and began to soar in circles, higher and higher. I did make one special personal request. I asked that we all take a moment and focus our Love on our Mother Earth, that she may heal as we heal ourselves. That ended the Ritual for me.

I was sitting in meditation for awhile when the thought struck me: with so many people meditating at the same time for the same purpose, it must have an effect even if there was nothing on "the other side" to help us. Then I was drawn to a point above the earth. There I saw a ribbon of light come from each person on earth who was meditating. These ribbons were varied colored and they all rose up to a pole in heaven. This reminded me of a May pole Then I saw all the ribbons of light mixed together as they would weave a tapestry. It was beautiful. And of course there is something on the other side that responded to us. The weather was overcast until 12:35 local time and then the sun came out bright and clear and stayed out all day.

Stopped for coffee and to just sit and think, and allow. Big E (the big Egyptian who's been 'shaking' me since Saturday...*s*) wrote a little to me as I sat at the counter with my coffee, pen and pad. He wrote: "You have no idea yet what has happened. You do feel the calm. That's good, but we are chuckling, for this has gone soooooooo very well. This meditation, too, will be on-going, as you figured. Thank you." Hermes [new Mayan guide] and Pacal and many others were identified to me as present... each letting me feel their presence briefly.

Um, ok. I know that I've never been much for rituals so to speak. I tried, really tried, to somewhat follow the instructions you sent as suggestions. No Maya came roaring through my door. No brilliant white light flooded my room. But, I tend to gage my spiritual experiences through feeling and among other things, physical reaction. And I did feel something last Saturday. In particular, the left side of my body became very warm, if not hot. I cannot explain why, and the feeling still lingers. My dreams have gotten a little strange, if not urgent. When I first started meditating in June, one night I clearly remember a voice as I was drifting off to sleep, saying "Now, you are going to be experiencing some very different, strange things. You're path is different now." I guess that time has now begun. I will try to welcome these changes without fear & with as little apprehension as possible. Thank u for helping me be part of the ritual.

I have been forwarding your Rituals to my friends locally as well as on the internet. The service you are providing for people to coordinate prayer and ritual and meditation is truly God-sent. There is a need for action on the planet; not just metaphysical talk. I thank you from the bottom (and top) of my heart on be half of all those wanting to release this civilization from its current plight.

This is the first Ritual that I've done, I missed the last ones for several and unexcusable reasons. Anyway. The 18th I did the Ritual approx at 12:00pm, no chance to do it at 8pm. I used amethyst, topaz, pearls, a crystal sphere to build the portal, I lit incense and two violet candles. The portal that I sensed is located very close to the bathroom, in a small hall between two rooms and a closet. I did relaxation and then light meditation to balance my chakras. I stayed in a very relaxed state of consciousness for about 20 minutes, and just felt calmed, loved, in balance. That night I had a very strange dream, I have never dreamed with whales. I dreamed that I was in a sort of a room with somebody that I couldn't see and I was holding this very small whale (at least that is what it looked like) in my hands in a sort of a protection wrap. Then the individual that was with me took it from my hands and put in a small pool. And I felt very good. I felt the happiness of the tiny whale (like a killer whale).

I can't exactly recall which event happen first, but also dreamed about being in the open, like in a back yard of a farm house and there were all this types of ships "flying" over us, I wasn't not alone but I can't tell who I was with, I was sort of in a contemplation state, and felt love and secure. It was night and a not very dark. But I saw some different ship formations, like geese on flight, then like forming a kind of a geometrical shape (squares and rectangles). That's everything that I consciously can remember. Yesterday I did the Ritual and felt the deepening very fast, felt very calmed and loved. This time I didn't use nor candles nor incense.

Well I did the Ritual everyday from the 18th to the 23ed. I did not experience anything out of the ordinary. But I did do a tarot reading and I made some really good connections. So I feel I was opened up a little.

I am sorry to say, I didn't do the ritual. So last night I had headed to bed about 8:30, just after finishing reading "Ritual of the Sarcophagus". When I came to 'Air Ritual for Spirit Soul to Walk the Sky" I read the words aloud. Then I went straight to bed. Sometime between 9 and midnight, a large clap of thunder sounded, waking me, and as I was facing the window, I noticed that the whole sky lit up pink, it was beautiful pink clouds. I realized then that I was with you when I was wakened. I was so tired last night that it didn't dawn on me quick enough to write down anything. So I don't have a recollection of anything except you and the pink sky. A friend had just told me yesterday that the night before she was out driving close to midnight and a thunderstorm blew in, and she remarked that the lightning was a beautiful pink and blue. Isn't this all weird?? If you was with me last evening and was skywalking, would you please clue me in!!~~~grin~~~ Thanks!!!

I did my meditation on 1/23/97 from 9:25am to 10:10am...I placed crystals on all my chakras and I laid underneath my pyramid...first I moved forward to an alter with a brilliant white flame in the center...I began to get frightened by this and backed off a little. Then, I realized this journey was about love. So I proceeded to the flame, and I was projected throughout the universe it was beautiful... then, as I came back I saw the earth surrounded by triangular gridwork...it too was beautiful...I felt a jolt of energy shoot through my body... and, then, I was part (connected) of the gridwork... this was a little frightening to me. however, I calmly accepted the energy, and had an amazing meditation...It was mostly cloudy, so mister sunshine peeked down on me occasionally throughout the day...

It's been very windy here on and off. Rangi tells me it was very windy last night after we did the ritual. It was also windy during our first ritual. I remember because I wanted to go for a walk and couldn't because of the wild wind. While Wellington does have a reputation for being a windy city, it's been unusually windy over the last few days. A week before the ritual we also had a freak lightning storm. I thought about Hurukan then. It was like he was directing it at my window to let me know he was there and very much aware of me.

I am just reading an old mail of yours on "what is a portal," how to find one, etc. There I find the following paragraph:

"Before you begin portal activation, stand or sit outside it and look inside for any unusual activity, such as speeding specks of dust, black lightning, heavy air, shadows, etc. I usually see very wispy clouds of air and speeding specks of dust. I know people who have seen "black lightning" and heavy air. Gossamer clouds are easy to see inside the portal. When performing Ritual of the Portal, "magical" items, patterns of movement, and invocations create an important atmosphere and gestalt."

There I remembered a thing a dear spiritual friend of mine has been writing. His name is Hua Ching Ni, he is an 84 year old Chinese healer and teacher, and he told the following story: in an ancient Chinese text he has found a ritual of invoking a highly evolved starry person. It was sort of a magic ritual, that had to be done on 49 days in a row. Within that period of time an event that we today would call the opening of a portal would occur. And sure it did (took him only 12 or 13 days, btw). When it started it began with a "black light in the middle of the room." On seeing this he started doing the appropriate invocations and so forth.

He did make contact with a starry person, which was his first contact of that sort. He was fairly young then, and in the meanwhile he has had many and has made good use of the contacts as well. But this is another story. I just though you might be interested in the report that comes from a very different angle.

Wow, what a day. I got into my portal at 12:20pm, There was a distinct double knock on the wall, The incense I was burning began to circle around the four candles, and you could hear a noise that was encircling the room. My son was in the room and heard both these things. He said it was like something was circling the room. I felt it more like an energy vortex. I closed my eyes and then felt lifted. I opened my eyes and saw a dimly lit arch. I was walking on large stones and it felt like I was inside a ruin. It was dark and musty and it smelt dank and must. I was looking around trying to decide where exactly I was, trying to see something because it was dark. I turned to my left and saw a luminous figure seated. I was pulled back to the bedroom because my son was trying to get my attention that it was 12:30pm. There was a white mist in the room. I closed my eyes again and was in a white mist. Many beings were there and they all seemed to be native American. I was searching for Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce and my heart sent out a message to let him know how sorry I was for the terrible things that the US government did to his people and that hopefully someday they could return to the Wallowa valley which was their earthly home. Then I whispered to God how much I loved Him. I was back in the room and I sat peacefully for a half an hour. Then I closed the portal and left the house. I was in a store checkout line. The man standing next to me started to stare at me. Then he began smiling and broke out into a song, He sang loudly. I felt radiant and all aglow. What a wonderful day.

I forgot one important detail of my eternity in 17 minutes. I was in the mist again. Very lovely white light. My heart spoke and made a commitment to Gaia to do whatever I could to be of service in the healing of the mother, the earth, so her spirit could once again express itself in its fullest beauty. It is almost unfathomable to me that I could experience so much in such a short period of time.

I was stranded on a Greek island during rainstorm. At night I crawled under the covers reading Robert Graves interpretations of the myths. During the day I often climbed up the mountain where the cubicle houses huddle against each other over labyrinth paths to avoid pirates attacks - clinging to the slope below the monastery and castle ruins. I sat in the monastery church for a long time drawing the ornamental icon stand - watching the monk add oil to the little lamps. The walls covered with icons some dark and old, some shining bright and silvery. This day it was not blowing quite as much and I climbed all the way up to the castle at the top. But it started raining and I huddled under a vaulted roof to avoid getting drenched. I wasn't meditating - I sat smoking on a dirty piece of wood, watching the clouds.

The mighty all powerful Goddess was there - was everywhere
The white foam her petticoats hem
The rain her fine veils
The wind her breath
She was so big that no-one noticed her
so much of everything that she was taken for granted.
The monk with his black cap bent over the icons never looked up -
He never noticed her.
Nor do we.

The 17th I meditated long in a beautiful olive grove high on a hill and got some interesting insights into what I saw in Delphi on Saturday. Asking to go to Meso-Amerika I was made aware of Pacal Votan's mother and her role or quest keeping and holding the "diplomatic" strength/strings for the time before Pacal could take office. She seemed to work with a certain group of people that "knew" the importance of this task while others didn't. Though she and her group had very strong connections with the heavens - I saw forms in the sky - it was both - like knowing totally and not knowing quite enough to be able to draw the connection through - yet feeling it should be done - conferring much with priests and elders. She was not wholly a queen in the sense that she knew that didn't matter - though the queenship and kingship were very important to carry out the intended mission. I found this interesting in the light of what you wrote about yourself and I had not seen because I was away.

Well I did a meditation on the 23rd...I felt as though I should lie down on the earth, so I took my blanket and went outside. I lay down on a N-S orientation with my arms spread out like a cross. The first thing I saw was a 'flower of life' pattern and then I was enveloped in a beautiful golden light. I focused on bringing in energies to all and to the earth and opening myself up to the higher energies. I saw star-bursts of purple and then a wonderful field of intense pink, then the gold again....Later when I sat up, the sky was filled with dark clouds and a hawk or an eagle (I couldn't tell which) was circling in the distance...there were also mysterious looking small pyramid shaped clouds in a row across the sky (I felt as if they were crafts!!)... Didn't see any beings or get any messages, but it was a very wonderful feeling and I knew I had connected with all....

Four of us meditated at around noon pst on Jan 23. We read your email, but did not do the full ritual. My experience was one of initial extreme business in mundane world and non-physical realms...then an experience of extremely complex, richly varied "personality" textures, all interacting in very individualistic but harmonious manner. My experience at the drum-jam/dance the next night was similar...there was a definite new level of individual expression in concert with the whole -- quite powerful, enlivening and exciting. Many nodded enthusiastically that it was now indeed a New Age! Wow! That's twice now I've Emailed you & received your Email within seconds! The Universe works in magical mystical ways! -- What fun!

I wanted to draw a card from the Tarot of the Spirit on that night (22nd) to use in my ritual on the 23rd. I drew the "8" (lemniscate!) of Wind--The Power Shield. This was very significant to me personally, because of the power shield that I had told you about. I'm sure I never told you the way I set up my altar when I did my ritual. I did say I had to wait to do it on the 23rd. It was very sunny. A perfect day to do the planetary alignment. I had a strand of lapis and a strand of turquoise that I use to make a 6 pointed star. Each strand was a triangle. In each tip I placed a crystal. In the center I placed my power shield. On it, I placed my polished amethyst point. (It stands up). I had 2 very unusually colored blue candle holders and used them, lit, on either side of my star. Above my star, I had the 2 of Fire-Convergence, upright, with the 8 of Wind-Power Shield across it, like a "T". This was done in my portal. I sat at the edge. (The portal is much bigger than this now, I just used the original edge.)

I did the ritual right after the Gaia meditation. That night I had a dream about being shown what the energy looked like. I could see waves in the dream and I could tell by this how many entities were there. I also dreamed about being in a black tunnel and being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The light was blue. Today, at lunch with my daughter, the bill was $8.88. These numbers are on my power shield.

I did the ritual on the 18th and the 23rd. I actually kept it simple for a change. I have a wonderful white satin altar cloth the was a gift to me that I used. I have a meditation room that is a loft. I put the cloth in the center of the floor, I put a white candle in the center and then I did the ritual facing each of the four directions first and then I just sat in quiet meditation and repeated the ritual again. This is what I was guided to do. Well, the energy that flowed through me and around me was very very high energy. I then had to drink three glasses of water which helped to ground me. I was charged with electrical energy for several days. My computer went crazy, the phone line that I use for the computer went dead, hair dryer wouldn't work, curling iron kept going off, phone answering machine would not record messages. So, for a while I was cut off from the outside world and this forced me to stay in the energy. I went to the store and walked in TJ Maxx and the lights went out in the store! This was like that for about 15 minutes. Coincidence? I don't think so. This happens to me with electrical things when I am super charged with new energy. I don't know what was supposed to happen but I would definitely say a portal was opened. Also, I did some wonderful new chanting during the meditation. Thanks for all the information that you send us. I am starting a new group that will meet on Saturday evenings in my home and I will share all info that you send.

I performed the ritual in a school building, as I was working there at that moment. It was the 23rd Jan. 18.35 local time, which is 6 hours later than your timeline. There was a very intense fog and you couldn't see more then 10 feet. I was not able to make much of a portal and couldn't find the exact location of the portal in the classroom I was at, so I had to improvise. I made the portal out of a piece of violet silk. I made a cross out of the tarot card from the inner-child deck, in which I only placed a card referring to the star-people. I placed 2 crystals on both vertical sides of the cloth. In the middle I placed a burning candle which moved vigorously during the ritual. I put a piece of skin of a wolf and a stone that represent the "Little people" (elves I communicate with during Shamanistic rituals) at the end I was sitting at.

I started the ritual exactly on time and immediately felt a very high energy. It stayed very high for about 20 minutes after which I could feel a change. I felt like being pulled into a tunnel. The tunnel was very long and I knew it was a snake I travelled through. Then I saw a male Maya in front of me. He wore a green skirt which was decorated with typical Maya images, had wrist bracelets and a feather bonnet on his head. He just showed me a place to sit down, which I did. Then a sort of a curtain made out of mails was draped around the place I sat. I felt and saw a very bright light all around me and I "changed" into a Maya myself. The man in front of me said to me that he would show me my true face, which he did me putting a mirrorlike object in front of me. I was a completely different person and recognized myself by my eyes. I knew this person, I think from dreams. He told me I was a great healer and that I was to teach people about that. Than he pointed to a small house, which was square shaped, about 5 by 5 feet. I was to enter this and when I did I saw a very bright light. I immediately felt myself being pulled through a tunnel again, that was even longer then the previous one. This also felt like a snake. On the other side I came to a place with a huge rainbow underneath which there were 3 golden pyramids. In the middle one I saw a crystal pyramid and looking at that I also saw the earth inside it. It was turning and started to fade away. To me it was like there was a big change coming up for earth, which of course is exactly what is already happening and the pace is increasing. Seeing that I suddenly knew I had to get back. I was drawn into the tunnels again and returned at my alter. This ended the ritual. It all felt both very exciting and safe. I'll be doing the ritual again in March.

The next ritual will be March 8. This will be Ritual of the Cathedral Portal: Chartres Cathedral and the Knights Templar. This will be another powerful ritual, especially true because the Cathedral ritual will be Concourse of the Forces - Fire (Stonehenge-Ancient Celts) Water (Rock Eagle-Mound Builder Indians) Earth (Pyramids-Egyptians and Aztecs) Air (Sarcophagus-Mayas). During Ritual of the Cathedral Portal we will perform the Aether/Quintessence ritual in which we will anchor the energy/light of the Celestial Order of the Prophets of the Golden Masons. These are the orders of angels of sacred geometry and the orders of the geometry monks.

Ritual of the Cathedral portal is the quintessential ritual! This is the fifth ritual, in the element of Aether. The four rituals preceding this one invoked the four elements and constituents of Matter: Fire, Water, Air and Earth. In Ritual of the Cathedral Portal we performed Fire Ritual to Invoke the Shield Guides. In Ritual of the Rock Eagle Portals we performed Fire Water Ritual to Call Forth the Wings of Love. In Ritual of the Pyramid Portals we performed Earth Ritual to Empower the Spirit-Soul. In Ritual of the Sarcophagus Portal we performed Air Ritual for Spirit-Soul to Walk the Sky. Thus, we invoked the four elements and also the energies of the ancient worlds: the Celts of Great Britain, the Mound Builder Indians of North America, the Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Mayas of Central America.

These are powerful energies we called upon, for these are the energies that built legendary civilizations on this planet, and in so doing preserved and advanced the Ancient Knowledge. We also have asked many great spiritual beings, Energy-Intelligences, Planetary Spirits and Occult Forces of the universe to assist us in our alchemical Great Work of spiritual evolution and planetary ascension. In these rituals we boldly called for many individuals, many collective consciousnesses and the God-power of the universe to shed Light and Love on us while we work on behalf of universal consciousness. These great and powerful Beings of Light responded to our collective call and are joining with us to bring us and our planet to a whole new level of consciousness.

What is the significance of the four elements? In classical astrology the appearance and construction of each created thing is determined by a specific combination of the concourse of the forces of the four elements. When the elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth are in contact they set up a motion which produces an action. The form the action takes is dependent upon the concourse of the forces brought together. The first concourse of the forces of Fire and Air produced heaven and earth. The second concourse of the forces of Air and Water created a strong wind born from water, which created all vegetation. From the third concourse of the forces of Air and Fire, generation began. The fourth concourse of the forces of Water and Fire entered into contact with Earth and this resulted in the creation of humanity.

We learn by this allegorical mythology that concourse of the forces is a powerful formula for creation in the universe. In this Aether ritual we are bringing together the four elements and also the powerful Beings of Light and their energies to direct the four elements into the concourse of the forces for the benefit of our planet, our group consciousness and our individual selves. Because we are motiveless, desiring to work for the greater good within the Light of Divine Love, these great powers are responding. With this Aether ritual we will activate the great celestial Cross of Light in the vault of the Northern Hemisphere. This cross will light for eternity this time on this planet when Spirit and Matter came together for the love and benefit of all. Plato said the power which comes next to the highest God is marked with a Cross of Light upon the universe, and we will draw upon the power of our Cross of Light for guidance and energy as we continue our Work on the physical plane.

The fusion - the alchemy - of Spirit and Matter expressed by the Cross of Light also is powerfully expressed by the total solar eclipse during the night of the ritual, or Sunday, March 9, in Siberia. Lasting longer than 2 minutes, the solar eclipse will allow for an easy view of comet Hale-Bopp if you are in eastern Asia. The visibility of a comet during a total solar eclipse is quite a rare event and has only happened four times in the last century or so.

Throughout the ages, the alchemical union of the sun and moon is the most enduring symbol in alchemy. When Forces of Light (the Sun) and Forces of Dark Light (the Moon) come together on March 9, the energies of union will be facilitated by Chartres Cathedral near Paris. Within the cathedral, concourse of the forces is always active in the Earth of the crypt where the portal is cited; in the Water of the Well of the Strong beside the portal; in the Fire of the cathedral, burned down five times; and in the Air of the flying buttresses of the Gothic arches, built on the principles of sacred geometry.

By the Aether ritual, its natural power amplified by the solar eclipse, we will fulfill several Love goals, including: bringing into geometrical alignment the energy on this planet by bringing through the portal of Chartres the angels of geometry and the geometry monks; linking with the healing spiritual vibrations of the Divine Mother, Our Lady of Chartres; and activating for ourselves the energy power of the mythological wealth and legendary treasures of the planet and the vast wealth of the Knights Templar, who built Chartres and many healing hospices all over France. We will create for ourselves the Ring of the Niebelung, the golden ring symbolizing the power of Spirit with the wealth of the planet. With both Spirit and material resources accessible to us, we can continue our spiritual work and go forth into the world as spiritual knights under the banner of Health, Wealth and Love!

Several spirit-guided articles to follow this one are: Toward the Divine; Dreamtime Journal Activity: Vibratory Attunement; Celestial Order of the Prophets of the Golden Masons; A Light-Matrix in Stone; The Knights Templar and the Ark of the Covenant; Sophia, Queen of Heaven; and the Aether ritual.

When you do the ritual this time, think about inviting someone to participate. Sometimes, group consciousness (two is a group) can manifest an experience that is more palpable than what individual consciousness provides. LindaLibra's Merkaba meditation group produces impressive group ritual results. Here is their Ritual of the Sarcophagus Portal:

"Our group usually sits around a large table with the various accouterments for the ritual in front of us. For this one, however, it seemed appropriate to set up an altar in the pathway of the room's portal without table. A pathway of crystals (most of these were milky) and candles led from the portal entry, and the altar itself had the large Merkaba in the center surrounded by a circle of crystal laser wands and other crystals on top of a like number of major arcana cards, intuitively drawn. Several other appropriately placed crystals were also around the setup. Each of the participants intuitively drew a power deck card and an angel oracle card to be read at the end of the process for further guidance. Our intention and focus was to be in a place of love for ourselves and the Universe so as to be clearer channels for love for the earth and all lifeforms. We sang songs and performed chants especially to assist in the raising of the vibration. The Heartbeat Drumming was also performed to attune to Mother Earth's vibration.

A 21 breath Merkaba meditation was accomplished with a call afterward for all to join in a network of light with all others who were also engaged in the meditative activity of the day (Gaiamind, World Peace, and yours), linking the cosmic Christ grid. A silent meditation allowed each to receive his/her own insight. The very first energy sensed by all present was that of the Divine Mother, followed by a stream of others including the sense of Archangel Michael and Gabriel (the first time I had ever seen Gabriel), Shiva, Jesus, and a number of others (ours is an eclectic group). The energy flowed around the room thru the portal in such waves that it was easily "seen" and sensed: we were sitting in a semicircle in front of the altar and around the area. In answer to my request, a "raft" of Mayans entered the room, resplendent to say the least. Each of the Mayan etherics appeared to blend with one of the participants in the meditation. We were in the silence of that energy for some time, and all felt they had received healing, inspiration, and personal guidance, as well as being a part of a greater healing, ascending effort. The general consensus was this was the most dynamic of all we have held up to this time. Thanks for being a channel of Light, Claire. Blessings.

Group Consciousness is a powerful dynamic and a blessed event. What an experience it is when someone sitting beside you describes to you what you are seeing through inner vision! Others are seeing it along with you because it is a group consciousness inner vision. In the group ritual I led this February in Atlanta, we saw with 3rd eye a flaming red rosebud. This is Dante Alighieri's "Rose of the Blessed." In Dante's structure of the universe, the Rose of the Blessed is situated beyond the planetary spheres and signifies ascension into a new way of seeing, a new way of thinking, a new way of Being toward the Divine.

With only one week until the ritual, the energy is really beginning to build! This is the quintessential ritual, so it is important to have a little more preparation time than usual. For this reason I have posted all the ritual articles, as well as the ritual, on the website. You may not hear from me again by Email before the ritual, because I am beginning my meditation now.

In the Aether ritual you will see references to a gold ring and a silver cape. This is part of an initiation I recently experienced in which I was empowered by Spirit to marry the wealth of the planet to the spiritual aspirations of all involved in this ritual. This light-body initiation and Divine Marriage was performed on the stone steps of Chartres Cathedral and officiated by the Celestial Orders of the Prophets of the Golden Masons. This is the name of the Order of the angels of sacred geometry and the geometry monks who are coming through the portal at Chartres. This is an angelic order devoted to the Divine Mother and whose initiates are the Knights Templar (warrior monks), the Benedictine monks (Alchemy monks) and the Palamun monks (Gnostic monks).

In the initiation, a man wearing a white ritual gown and a red cloth belt came forward accompanied by a Shield Guide. The man carried before him a small white pillow upon which rested a beautiful wedding ring of gold light. When the ring bearer presented me with the gold ring, it floated up from the pillow and turned slowly in a circle, growing bigger and bigger, then small again. A thin, wide sheet of glittering silver etched with symbols materialized and wrapped itself around my shoulders, form-fitting itself to me to become a silver cape. I felt intense excitement and breathlessness (even as I write this), and gasping a little (solar plexus chakra activity) I was awakened by my guides to take a deep breath. In that ceremony I was initiated as a spiritual knight into the Celestial Orders of the Prophets of the Golden Masons. We are divinely wed to the Divine Mother.

As a frequent skywalker I often encounter energy patterns and life forms different from my own. Have you ever dreamed that you are going in fast reverse and can't stop? That is the experience of connecting with retrograde energy. The energy is quite powerful and allows for the release of less-than-eternal emotions, especially fear, which weigh us down and hold us in our little selves while our larger selves patiently await. We are experiencing at this time strong retrograde energy, expressed by the apparent reverse motion of Mars and Pluto.

This energy has lessons to teach if we can find the classroom! After skywalking through the portal to Chartres a few nights ago, I encountered inside the cathedral the retrograde, spiral energy housed by the sacred geometry of the architecture. I passed through the portal and was moving inside the cathedral in comfort when suddenly I went straight backwards at about 30 miles per hour, then full forward, then took a sharp 90 degree right turn and then, falling fearlessly to the left, I tumbled down from the Gothic arches like falling from the tower on The Tower card in tarot. As I fell I had a series of thoughts and images that seemed unrelated to the experience of the moment.

Swept along in this retrograde energy vortex I fell into the crypt and into the fishy, Piscean water of the Well of the Strong. Under the Piscean energy influence of fishes swimming in opposite directions, I splashed around and experienced difficulty of movement as I struggled to right myself and reassert my own energy pattern. I avoided "drowning" only by finding the strength to shed a layer of self like removing a heavy overcoat. The coat was woven of fear, and after casting it aside I floated free.

This experience gave me considerable insights into ascension. The fish of Pisces are tied together and want to hold onto the old and the known, being fearful of loss and the unknown. But by releasing these fears we can swim free to the next level. The Pisces sign represents the attainment of universal consciousness at the end of a cycle, and this attainment involves letting go of the known in favor of the unknown. Connecting with retrograde energy also taught me a fascinating lesson about universal consciousness and the Eternal Now. Although it seemed to me I traveled backwards at a speed of 30 miles per hour, in fact I traveled so fast in reverse that I went into the future and experienced the events that happened the following day as thoughts and images as I fell into the crypt. Through the portal I went back to the future!

The energy of the Chartres ritual is profound and paradoxical -- it is both volatile and peaceful. And I wonder if you have seen any etheric young "pilgrims" lately? Some of them are wearing backpacks! They have come here to do the ritual with us.

The following astrological information is the work of Melissa Stratton. Thanks, Melissa! At the end of the article is a web link to a Chartres page with several beautiful photographs of the Cathedral, including the stained-glass Pisces window in Chartres. Melissa's astrology information for Ritual of the Cathedral Portal:

Right away what stands out is that 8 planets along with 3 asteroids (11 planetary bodies!) are lined up entirely within the 2nd and 3rd houses. The 2nd house, of connection with the material plane, is ruled by Capricorn with asteroid Pallas Athena (the wise warrior - Knights Templar??) at the cusp and Neptune in Capricorn nearby, and includes the important conjunction of Uranus and Jupiter in Aquarius. The asteroids Ceres (in Aquarius) and Vesta (in Pisces) are also in the 2nd house. The conjunction of Uranus/Jupiter in Aquarius can indicate expanded opportunities when we begin to trust advanced concepts. In the 2nd house, this conjunction along with the other 4 planets/asteroids points to an emphasis on creating a new material foundation based on expanded concepts.

The Pisces-ruled 3rd house contains a line-up of 4 planets - Venus, Mercury, Sun and Moon (tightly conjuncted in the eclipse) all in Pisces, along with Saturn in Aries. The 3rd house of lower mind and communication ruled by Pisces with 5 planets inside can indicate an intuitive opening up of the "lower" mind to receive the Piscean ideal of unconditional love - very indicative of the Divine Mother influence, I'd say! Saturn in Aries is a nice addition, since it tends to anchor new experiences in the mental realm - meaning, our conscious minds can more readily accept/believe these experiences.

Retrograde Mars/North Node conjunction in Virgo is in the 9th house of higher mind, indicating that the experience of the lower/conscious mind can be channeled through the higher mind. In fact, this shows that the higher mind is ready and willing to handle the details, organize and help integrate the experience.

The transformational energy of Chiron in Scorpio is located in the 10th house. It's interesting that the Atlanta (East Coast) chart has Scorpio/Chiron in the ego arena, while the major portal of Chartres has it in the house of worldly recognition. It's as if it is "time" for this ancient portal to be once again utilized "out in the world", but we aren't meant to use this for our own ego-aggrandizement.

Retrograde Pluto in Sagittarius is located in the 12th house, which has Scorpio at the cusp. This adds another message about transformation - Pluto is the planet of transformation in the 12th house ruled by Scorpio, the sign of transformation. Pluto/Sagittarius in the 12th house of connection with other realities, can indicate that it is time to let go of our fears around reaching out toward higher planes of reality. This process can help us reconcile the "dreamtime" with who we project ourselves to be - since in the chart Sagittarius begins in the 12th house, but spills out into the 1st house of persona and rules the ascendant.

The Vertex is in Cancer in the 8th house (another indicator of transformation, since the 8th house is the house of transformation) and is opposite Neptune/Capricorn in the 2nd house. This can be phrased as, "Destiny knocks at the door of transformation, waiting for us to dissolve our former concepts around the material plane and enter a new dimension."

The asteroid Juno is in Taurus in the 5th house of creativity indicating the willingness to commit to grounding creative endeavors.

And finally, one fascinating note is that the comet Hale Bopp (according to the ephemeris provided by Astrolabe) will be traveling through Pisces very close to the Sun/Moon eclipse at the time of the ritual! So it will be highLIGHTing the Pisces sector of the chart - the Divine Mother Love.

Our Lady of Chartres Cathedral, dedicated to the Divine Mother and built 1128-1228 CE above an ancient geophysical portal, is a light-matrix in stone. Demonstrating this is a comparison of the cathedral ground plan to the World Soul, a light-matrix design based upon the Kabala Tree of Life. The World Soul light-matrix demonstrates the geometrical properties of light which are built into the cathedral as sacred geometry. Chartres is designed according to proportions which obey the law of the Golden Mean, 1.618 (phi). In Chartres, distances between pillars and the lengths of the nave, transepts, and the choir are all multiples of the Golden Mean. The ribs supporting the vaults of the quadrangular units of which the cathedral is composed are the shape of the golden rectangle. The overall ground plan design of Chartres is a Latin Cross, symbolizing Light of the Cross, where Spirit and Matter come together.

The esoteric concept of sacred geometry as being based upon the geometrical properties of light is demonstrated by placing the ground plan of Chartres beside the light-matrix. Spheres S1, S2 and S3 are connected by two diagonal paths of light, D1 and D2, and one horizontal path of light, H1, creating the top up-pointed acute triangle of the light-matrix. In the cathedral, these are the three great stained-glass windows through which streams bright sunlight, the material world counterpart of the Boundless Light/Great Creator. The brilliant light illuminates the interior of the cathedral, enlightening Sacred Center, S4 on the light-matrix. S2, S3 and S4, connected by H1, D7 and D8, form an down-pointed acute triangle, the mirror image of the first up-pointed triangle. The corners of North and South Transepts of the cathedral are S6 and S9 on the left, and S5 and S8 on the right. In the center of the transepts is occulted S7. The spheres S4, S5, and S6, connected by H2, D9 and D10, form a second up-pointed acute triangle. S5, S6 and S7, connected by H2, D13 and D14, form its mirror image, a down-pointed acute triangle. The spheres S7, S8 and S9, connected by H3, D15 and D16, form the 3rd up-pointed acute triangle. Below occulted S7 is Vortex, S10, defined as "Portal" in Kabalism. S8, S9 and S10, connected by H3, D21 and D22, form a third down-pointed acute triangle. Below Vortex is Great West Door, S13, defined as "Communion" in Kabalism. S10, S11 and S12, connected by H4, D23 and D24, form a 4th up-pointed acute triangle. S11, S12 and S13, connected by H4, D29 and D30 form a 4th down-pointed acute triangle.

This system of repeating mirror image triangles is a graphic representation of the ancient and venerable philosophy of Emanationism, the secret religious philosophy of the Jewish rabbis and many others before and after them. The World Soul glyph describes a universe (and a cathedral) based upon rational order and comprehensible intellectual structure. It is derived, in part, from Platonism, in which the original template, or tri-fold god-energy/light, is duplicated endlessly throughout the universe in various degrees of light-density and power. The philosophy is enduring throughout the ages but not widely popular, because the idea of God as the ultimate matrixed, metaphysical Energy-Intelligence-Creator expressed in terms of light is challenging to conceptualize, being such a long way from the popular notion of God as a gaseous vertebrate.

The light-matrix, like the Kabala Tree of Life, is composed of three vertical pillars. Left pillar is comprised of spheres S3, S6, S9 and S12, connected by vertical paths of light numbered V3, V6, and V9. In Kabalism the left pillar is designated negative. Right pillar is comprised of S2, S5, S8 and S11 connected by V2, V5 and V8. Right pillar is designated positive. Middle pillar is comprised of S1, S4, S7, S10 and S13. Middle pillar is neutral. Diagonal paths of light connect all these spheres together and form acute triangles of various sizes. The spheres on the outer pillars are connected by horizontal paths of attraction-repulsion H1, H2, H3 and H4. Three rectangles are formed by the horizontal paths of light connecting with the vertical paths of light at the spheres on the outer pillars. The rectangles are halved by the middle pillar, creating six cubes, three on the right of the middle pillar and three on the left. The light-matrix is a representative section of a continuum, the triangles repeating ad infinitum.

At the top of the left and negative pillar is Sphere 3, S3, known in Kabalism as "Form" and named Binah, the Black Mother. In Chartres this Kabalistic pillar is the Black Madonna, called Our Lady of the Pillar. She is the womb portal/feminine energy through which all of the material world is born as her Divine Child. The three pillars, depicting the ancient Three Primordial Principles of creation, is found in art as early as 6,000 BCE. The three pillars shows the polarities at work in creating the spiral energy of the vortex, a representation of which is found carved on the floor of Chartres. When studied from a different angle, both the linear ground plan of Chartres and the linear appearance of the light-matrix can be seen as concentric circles of the vortex. Spiral energy, Divine Mother energy, is the most powerful energy/light configuration in the universe.

Traditionally, when the pilgrims entered the cathedral through Great West Door they proceeded to Vortex. At the center of Vortex used to be the combat of Theseus and the Minotaur, erased over time by the feet of pilgrims. From the outer circle of Vortex the pilgrims performed a ritual of the portal in which they spun around and around ever inward, activating and integrating the spiral energy/light, until they reached the center of the vortex. After this ritual, they proceeded into the cathedral to await their turn to enter the crypt of the cathedral, where another ritual was performed to invoke the healing powers of the Divine Mother. Inside the cathedral, the metaphysical portal/shamanic tunnel is erected in the divine proportions of the sacred geometry that comprise its arched architecture. And there, at the end of the great arched tunnel, is the huge Rose window, the representation of Ain Soph, the Boundless Light.

131 feet below the pinnacle of the Gothic arch and 131 feet over the ancient geophysical portal floats Sacred Center, S4 on the light-matrix. Beneath Sacred Center, in the crypt of the cathedral, is a convergence point of telluric (earth) energy, where is located a dolmen and a well. The dolmen, a megalithic tomb of two standing stones supporting a large, flat boulder, was built about the time of Stonehenge. Located at that place is a well, called "the Well of the Strong." The dolmen and the well were once buried within a mound, creating a portal tall enough to walk through. Chartres is the 6th church built over the dolmen and the well, the other five having been destroyed by fire.

Until the 18th century, every pilgrim took part in a second ritual of the portal involving descent to the dolmen, where they were blessed with the water from the well. In the 3rd century CE, Christians named this underground sanctuary "Druid's Grotto" because mysterious rituals were held here long ago, and they attributed the rituals to the Druids and their college, or mystery school.

Residing in the crypt is the statue of The Virgin of the Crypt - Our Lady of Chartres. Throughout history, sick people were nursed in the crypt, usually for a period of 9 days. Great crowds were drawn to the sanctuary, and pilgrims slept in the cathedral while waiting their turn to the crypt. This accounts for the slope of the nave paving allowing a thorough washing, and panels of the stained-glass windows could be taken out to air the building. Many miracles took place in the crypt and are recorded in chronicles of the cathedral and attributed to The Virgin of the Crypt. The origin and heart of Chartres is the crypt, the womb portal of Our Lady and her healing spiral energy. "Traveling through the universe, spiraling through the universe is Universal Mother energy." (Words of the Matawil) Chartres Cathedral was built on the principles of sacred geometry especially to channel and amplify the spiritual vibrations of this nurturing, healing God energy.

Shrouded in mystery is the financing and building of Chartres, involving the Knights Templar, the last order of the Grail Knights. The mystery involves how the Templars found the knowledge as early as the 12th century CE to build such a magnificent cathedral. The answer to this mystery lies in the quest the Knights undertook in traveling to Jerusalem. They hoped to gain secret knowledge believed to be held there in the Ark of the Covenant, which was rumored to be buried under Solomon's Temple. Because their first quarters in Jerusalem adjoined a building known at the time as Solomon's Temple, the Knights became known as the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, or Knights Templar.

The Ark of the Covenant was a wooden chest (arca) in which the Jews kept the tablets of the Law. In Jewish synagogues and temples an ark is a cabinet for housing holy scrolls. The Ark mosaic in Israel at the Beth Alpha Synagogue, built during the Greco-Roman period, portrays the Ark of the Covenant designed like the light-matrix in which are contained the Holy Scrolls of the Law. The Ark is comprised of three pillars, negative on the left, positive on the right and neutral in the middle. To the right and left of the middle pillar are 4 cubes stacked vertically with designs like light codes. These are the drawers which contain the Holy Scrolls, 4 on the right and 4 on the left. The top of this Ark finishes in an acute triangle, pointed like a cathedral spire. Hanging from the center of the spire is a lantern. To the right and the left of this Ark are Menorah (candelabras). Lions of Judah eat of the fruit of this Kabala (hidden) Tree of life, astrological symbols can be seen, and to the far right a curtain has been pulled aside (a veil is rent) by a crab so we may have a rare view of this sacred, celestial object of Light.

What is the Law contained by the Holy Scrolls? The Law contained within the Ark of the Covenant is the secret knowledge the Knights Templar sought at Solomon's Temple. It is the knowledge with which they built Chartres Cathedral. I believe this knowledge is the Law of Polarity, the first principle of creation; the plain of truth; the hearth of the universe, easily seen demonstrated in a section of a Gothic arch. Since ancient times (6,000 BCE) polarity has been studied as the three pillars of the Three Primordial Principles, defined as positive, negative and neutral. The right positive pillar is Jachin, the name of the right pillar of Solomon's Temple. The left negative pillar is Boaz, the left pillar of Solomon's Temple. The right pillar is defined as positive in Hermeticism; as Male in Kabalism; as Light in Gnosticism; as Ohrmuzd or Endless Light in Zoroastrianism; as Light in Greek philosophy; and as Father of Greatness dwelling in the Light in Manichaeism. The left pillar is defined as negative in Hermeticism; Female in Kabalism; Darkness in Gnosticism; Ahriman or Endless Darkness in Zoroastrianism; Dark in Greek philosophy; and King of Darkness in Manichaeism.

With the addition of the third principle, the central and neutral pillar, comes the concept of transcendence of polarity. With the third principle polarity becomes dimensional and gains a plane surface (that which has length and breadth). The plane surface, formed by the triangle, was called the "plain of truth" by the Pythagoreans of ancient Greece because it is the Three Primordial Principles expressed in geometry as a triangle. According to the Pythagoreans, the plain of truth is the "hearth of the universe." The central pillar is neutral in Kabalism; Androgynous in Alchemy; Hermaphroditic in Hinduism; Intermediate Spirit in Gnosticism; Void-Negative Space in Zoroastrianism; Air-Fate in Greek philosophy; and Shadow between like a Wedge in Manichaeism.

With their knowledge of sacred geometry based upon the geometry of light, most likely gained from their association with Jewish Rabbis and mystics who studied Kabala, the Knights Templar returned to France in 1128, after 10 years of study in Jerusalem, and began construction of Chartres, a small model of the universe and the archetypal Gothic cathedral and light-matrix in stone.

While the Templars were in Jerusalem defending Christians against the "infidel" (Muslims) they regularly transmitted money and supplies from Europe to Palestine, and they developed an efficient banking system on which the rulers and nobility of Europe came to rely. The knights gradually became bankers for a large part of Europe and amassed great wealth. They used this money to establish the first large, community service organization and held communal prayers and rituals in hospices they founded all over France. Giving up all personal property and wealth, they took vows of chastity, obedience and poverty, and became warrior-monks. They upheld their vows but became immensely wealthy anyway because of estate donations, some of which the Roman Catholic Church and the King of France would likely have received.

About 200 years after the construction of Chartres, the Catholic church assisted King Philip the Fair of France in condemning the enormously wealthy Knights as heretics. 64 Templars were burned at the stake and their wealth seized by the King and by the church. When the Templars died, they refused to give out any of their secret knowledge, even about Baphomet whom they were accused of worshipping, whom they admitted worshipping, and whom they were burned for worshipping. The mystery of Baphomet was solved recently when it was discovered that the Knights knew the Atbash Cipher, a system of cryptography involving the written Hebrew language. Evidence exists indicating Jesus was familiar with the Atbash Cipher, found in a number of Dead Sea Scrolls. In the Atbash Cipher, Baphomet decodes itself perfectly into "Sophia," Greek for Wisdom. The Knights Templar were burned as heretics for worshipping Wisdom.

"Precisely because orthodox religion was defective in the wisdom component, any modality which contained it was, ipso facto, heresy." (Walter Lang, "Introduction," Le Mystere des Cathedrales)

But Sophia is much more than Greek for Wisdom. Sophia is the Queen of Heaven, the Divine Mother, The Virgin of Light, Our Lady of Chartres Cathedral - a Lady worth dying for.

When in the presence of the Divine Mother called Sophia, the early Gnostics of the 1st-4th centuries CE wondered why they were so fortunate to be near her. They held a dim view of physical life, calling it a prison from which escape was made possible only by death. Therefore, if a divinity such as Sophia could be among us, then they reasoned it must be because she was a "fallen" divinity. So they told a mythological story about the fall of Sophia, and this explains her nearness to earth and her desire and willingness to help us.

Sophia, meaning Wisdom, in her exalted state is the Virgin of Light. She is like the Persian divinity Anahita, mistress of the waters that flow from a heavenly source in the region of the stars. The sad story of the fall of the Virgin of Light from her exalted position in the celestial realms above is mirrored in the events of humanity below. This story reveals the strong negative thoughts of the ancient Gnostics regarding life on this planet and their desire for escape or rescue. Conversely, the Knights Templar worshipped Sophia and built a cathedral to her. Her merciful, healing energy inspired them to build hospices all over Europe to care for the poor and sick.

In the Gnostic account of Sophia, she is the Virgin of Light who judges souls worthy to be passed through the portals to the Treasury of Light. The Virgin of Light weighs the merits of the souls and dispenses justice according to the souls' spiritual accomplishments while physical. This is like the Egyptian god Thoth, who weighs the soul against the weight of a feather. When the Virgin finds the souls wanting in spiritual attainment, she sends them into the rotation of the spheres or down through the body of the constellation Draco, whose tail descends into the abyss. Draco is formed by the long and winding procession of the souls on the way to the abyss.

If the souls are worthy, they receive from the Virgin the seals, mysteries and baptisms necessary for their journey into the upper realms. The Virgin of Light passes those perfect souls who are to ascend to the upper realms to the Treasury of Light. Judging them worthy, she releases them from the birth-rebirth cycle, the dance of death, by sealing them against the powers of the spheres (planets). Joyfully, the souls ascend to the heavenly realms.

The Virgin of Light becomes filled with a longing to reunite herself with the Treasury of Light and the supernal entities of the higher celestial realms. She envies those souls whom she sends upwards to merge with the Light. Her strong emotions of envy and desire weigh her down, just as they weigh us down. She falls from her exalted position as the portal to the upper realms down into the lower heavens to dwell in the 8th sphere. When she falls she becomes Sophia, the "Portal of Life," the door of birth into the physical world. She wears a crown of 12 stars and these symbolize the universe she fashions with her great powers. All the material world is born through her. She is the Divine Mother, the Matawil, Our Lady of Chartres, the Queen of Heaven. Her throne is the universe. She sits on the Holy Scrolls of the Law.

How does the Divine Mother look? In some accounts of her, she is pink and gold spiral energy. Historically, she is painted as human. In one representation of her in Chartres she is the Blue Virgin at Chartres.

I hope we can all start on time and do the ritual together. If not, perform this ritual when you can. On the same day or the 7th or the 9th would be great. About 400 of us will be participating all over the planet, some actively and others in mind and idea. In this ritual we will call upon the Divine Mother to create with us the Cross of Light in the vault of the Northern Hemisphere, to bring into Chartres Cathedral the Celestial Orders of the Prophets of the Golden Masons, and to bestow the golden ring and silver cape symbolizing the power of Spirit with the wealth of the planet.

Set up your portal anyway you like, as a circle, as an altar, as a specific design. I plan to construct mine as a circle of milky quartz with a cross in the center. To create Concourse of the Forces I will be using candles for Fire and Air, and bowls of Water and bowls of Earth. These will be used during a certain part of the ritual. Using Tarot of the Spirit tarot cards I will make the Cross of Light in the shape of the Latin Cross (high horizontal bar). Use anything magical you like to design this cross, runes, quartz, whatever you have that is special for you. Place a candle at the four corners of the Cross of Light. In the north position of the cross place an extra candle, so that five candles will be used. Inside the circle and around the cross I will be using all my crystals as well as sacred objects.

We will be using Divine Mother portal disk and/or Shri Yantra portal disk. Use the one you resonate with or use both. Yantra is the path of union with God thorough geometric visualization. A yantra is a geometric design. It is a highly efficient tool for contemplation, concentration, and meditation. This type of yoga might also be called Mandala Yoga. The Buddhist are masters of this type of yoga as can be seen in their mandalas, icons, tankas, and sand paintings. The American Indians used this type of yoga, also. The Kabbalistic Tree of Life might be put in this category as well. By tuning into the different aspects of a yantra you can tap into certain deities or creative force centers in the universe.

The yantra is like a microcosmic picture of the macrocosm. It is a focusing point and an outer and inner doorway. The yantra are often focused on a specific deity. They can be drawn on paper, wood, metal, or on the Earth itself or they can be three-dimensional. The yantra provides a focal point that is a window into the absolute. The idea is to make the yantra so real, inwardly and outwardly, that it becomes alive. In that way it absorbs the practitioner's complete attention, and [s/he] can no longer tell if the yantra is within [him/herself] or if [s/he] is within the yantra. The most celebrated yantra in India is the Sri Yantra, or Auspicious Wheel. It is a symbol of the entire cosmos that serves to remind the practitioner of the nondifference between subject and object." (Joshua David Stone)

Shri Yantra helps us transcend the I/Thou archetype of our bipolar world and helps us join with the Divine Mother.

Divine Mother, grant us this great favor, that we manifest Your desires.
Allow us to access the vast wealth You bestowed upon the Knights Templar.
It was taken from them and placed in unholy places, imprisoned within walls.
Release this wealth and grant us the wisdom to use it. Only Thy Will be done.

These things we ask, not for ourselves alone but for the benefit of the world.
Dear Lady, we will draw from our cross Your healing Love energy.
Send us Your healing energy, as we make Your wishes become our desires.
In health and wealth we are spiritual knights under Your banner of Love.

This message was given to me by the Madonna, who came in glowing pink light and visited with me, filling me with a deep sense of love, awe and reverence. We also did some yoga body stretching together! Since the ritual on March 8, I have felt a strong positive energy enfolding me, and others have felt it, too. It's a feeling of being unlimited, of being more successful, of having more energy and of things coming together easier. If you have experienced any of this, please Email me and let me know.

It was incredible. I feel so much joy, love and energy inside myself at this moment. I've never felt this so intensely as now. The ritual was beautiful. (Frank performed the Fire Ritual to Invoke the Shield Guides a few days before the Cathedral ritual.) As I was speaking the words, I felt the power in my voice rising. It felt so good, that I said the words again. Both first and second time, when I came to the part of Metatron, I could see an angel with a sword, this must of been Michael, slicing his sword into the ground. Through the slice came fire, which formed a portal in the center of Stonehenge.

After that it first became very quiet. I just felt a lot of energy in my room. Then I saw a vortex of clouds building in the portal. It reached out to me and filled me completely. It went straight into my heart. I was completely overwhelmed with joy, love, light, compassion, understanding, trust and awareness. I just enjoyed this for about half an hour. Then suddenly I saw a hand coming out of the portal. It holded a sword and reached out to me. A voice said; you are the keeper of the frequency of this domain. It is your task to prevent other energies from harming this domain. I was given the sword and told to stand up, hold the sword straight up and to sway the sword as hard as I could. When I did this I could feel a enormous power emanating form it. This reached inside of me, but also went out of it into the sky. It was like there was forming a shield overhead. This encircling the earth. From inside the core of the earth a very intense power came rushing out. This formed a matrix around the planet. My heart was pounding and I just felt intense joy. I knew nothing could go wrong anymore. Everybody would be protected for ever. I felt like the planet was smiling.

I sat down again, still holding the sword. I was told to place it into my heart, which I did. Then my whole body felt like an oven, a very intense heat which burnt away a lot of pain inside of me. I touched my first and fourth chakra and just stayed that way for about half an hour. Then the ritual was over. I felt at ease. Incredible! I'm planning to use the ritual, all of them if that's okay with you, in a workshop that two friends of my and myself are facilitating in the coming months. Thanks. I'm looking forward to the next ritual. By the way, what do you think the sword I received is all about?

I will be gone all day today so decided to do the ritual this morning. In my portal, at the four corners, are crystal, a piece of wood, a stone from Egypt and some shells. Above one of the four doorways is 2 peacock feathers. I prepared my space a few days ago for the ritual by adding gold from Brazil, Amethyst and silver ribbon along with my color print out of the Divine Mother disk.

I was very excited to do this ritual as I embark on a career change into the healing arts. As I said the ritual, I felt the air thicken. It was very exciting! I felt spirits around me working on my throat and heart chakras. I asked for the things to come to me in order for me to be able to go back to school to learn acupuncture. I asked for guidance. I then felt myself drawn back to a past life in Germany where I was a monk who studied herbs. I saw myself in that life using alchemic symbols. I felt my vibration raise.

It was a wonderful experience that I will carry with me all day as I go off to my homeopathic certification seminar. Another note: On Wednesday, in meditation, I had seen the Masonic symbol. It made me aware of the coming of the energies for the Templar Knights.

My ritual time was interrupted by pressing events, but was able to be present. Did anyone notice the odd odor at the sacred alter and from the area behind the alter? It has to do with a recent event there. The Knights Templar were and are out in force and represent to be on a very special mission for our present time. Interesting energies have been experienced at the Cathedral in recent weeks. Did anyone pick up on this? Still looking at the time in the ritual.

The Cathedral at Chartres has been a focal point for the Mystical activities of the Knights Templar for centuries and was built for them by the Free Masons for activities similar to what you call 'Portal'. These activities are generators for energy fields of transmission through radiance and were initially designed to magnify the potential energy of the celebrations of the Mass (in those times the ultimate ritual) out into the surrounding area as a protection or shield for the people. The times of the origination of these Cathedrals were dark times for humanity and the role of the Templars was, as it is today, to be keepers of the Sacred Ritual energies which bring the Mystical energies of Peace Joy and Love (enlightenment) into the lives of the people.

In the past month there was a fire in the chambers of the Bishop, behind the Alter, where certain artifacts and vestments, deemed by the Templars to be directed toward more expanding the power of the Church and the ego of the individual, were purified by a mysterious fire. The odor that came from this purification was not acrid like smoke but very sweet like the scent of the presence of Mary. This is obviously an outward manifestation of the modern activities of the Templars whose existence is for the keeping and perpetuation of the mystical powers, which are the heritage of HU-MAN kind. These new activities have been acknowledged in sacred sights around the world and are believed by many to be a sign of great changes in our Mystical/Spiritual world of understanding. The energies always have signatures in frequency and these are very definitely Templar/Mystical energies which are usually signs of redirection and change in our Human lifestyle and our relationship with Creator (The Eighth Ray).

In my practices, all experiences are time related, like your references to "retrograde time". To me everything out side this dimension has no time, therefore it is time related. It becomes a compressed awareness of experiences. Because this is out of our normal frame of conscious awareness, we use practices which allow us to, for lack of a better description, function as if we always existed there in no time. Our experience of this realm is that all things function beyond this dimension as "Light moving at the speed of Thought", which Mystically described is Creation energy.

Every journey of this type has related physical experiences. In our work we try to practice awareness and attune to the physical surroundings as we move through them into the etheric and dimensional realms. Recognizing that there are truly "Gatekeepers" whose total existence is to keep these gates open so that we can have access at the appropriate times. After a while and after many experiences we learn to stop and visit with them and in this awareness we become familiar with and to the "familiars". They become old friends who support our activities on the path of actions which support that which they are dedicated to support. We are seen as a committed part of the One and not just voyagers "What they call children playing around the gates". All of our journeys have a purpose and are required by the Creative energy to fulfill that purpose.

I truly honor what you are doing. My total function on this plane is as a servant of those who serve the whole, The One. In the other realms it is much more fun because you can see more clearly all things at once in every direction and the beginning and the end are one. Accelerated and retrograding time is merely scanning the reality of no time and looking at the pictures. It takes some getting used to but once you can live with the weird experience it becomes reality.

I am signing back on after having been through the ritual. Wow! Who could've thought it would've been so heavenly. I had a chance to really love up my portal, I made the eastern cross over the place where I sit. The cross was made of pink rose petals from a dozen pink roses I received for Valentines day. My circle was filled with crystals, many from our creek, and angels. Every angel doll, figurine, candle, Christmas ornaments, they all wanted to be in the circle. My five candles were angels and my power web lightworker was at the north node. As I finished the ritual I began to float off, past the earth's blue atmosphere and into outer space. I watched all the stars shooting past me as I headed in the direction of the comet. I then reached a region that had heavenly clouds and suddenly thousands and thousands of angels appeared. I remember thinking, wow, legions of angels. Then as I floated past a ridge and could peer on the other side, I saw several angels erecting a cross of light. Then every thing went to pink and I found myself back at my portal. I had to perform this ritual at 5:30am on March 9. Although I sat in my portal from 8:30 to 8:33PM to "link up for a couple minutes" I could not perform it until almost dawn. The pink light of dawn lit my portal in a gossamer way. It was fun! Wow!

Nothing unusual to report in tonight's ritual. At least not yet. We may see results for this one come in over a period of time. Before the ritual began, I burned some incense and meditated for about 30 min. in a hot tub of water. Then I dressed in white. I set up my portal in a circular fashion on a white lace tablecloth from Spain. The patterns crocheted in it looked like the shields on one of the portal discs. I used the Latin cross fashioned out of two different sets of rosary beads with the candles at each end of the cross and the 5th at the north end of the cross. Along with several pieces of crystal, I used several sacred items. One was the small picture of the Ark of the Covenant. a small statue of Archangel Michael and a small photo of Archangel Gabriel for either side of the Cross. I also used a small candelabra like the ones on the ark that came from Jerusalem. I set it up pretty much like you did and used both The Divine Mother disk and the Shri Yantra disk, also the water and the earth. I had a large photo of Mother Mary at the head of the cross. I also used a white lace pillow. It made a lovely alter, and was a beautiful ritual. Afterward I meditated. I also checked out the sky, but it's raining and overcast here. Many Blessings and much Love to you.

Thank you for creating and sharing the ritual material and experience. A group invited me to facilitate an event so 20 people joined together to participate in the Chartres Portal Ritual. We started with building the altar with everyone putting in a crystal in a spiral and had other personal power objects in it. We then chanted three times. The second time with each one's perfect vision of the Earth, and the last time to propel each one's perfect vision for themselves.

We divided the ritual prayer into twelve verses, each verse in sequence read from a different direction, starting in the east, then south, west & north. It was powerful and, in the sharing, one mentioned seeing the light connecting in rods to the disk and moving up. Another mentioned the prayer breaks down the old blocked patterns. We ended with giving out tarot cards to each participant. Some used the cards as an aid in sharing. I got the ace of wands.

Dream that night of being on the phone with someone. A lightning bolt goes through the phone line, but I continued talking, the person on the other end is different after the lightning and hung up. The picture window is broken & shattered. A few people in a garage trying to figure out how to open the door that is broken.

Saturday was a strange day. Starting Friday night, I was feeling a lot of negative energy, that I just could not clear. Saturday morning I was still feeling it, a lot of fear and apprehension. I did a clearing meditation in the morning and I felt a lot better, but still not totally clear. All day I felt this uneasy, heavy negative energy. I would try to clear every so often, and I even went up to the Astral plane and allowed any Earthbound spirits to ascend if they chose to. That helped, but the negative energy was still present.

For the Ritual, I used the Divine Mother portal disk, 6 quartz crystals in a Star of David pattern, 4 Medicine Cards: Eagle, Whale, Turtle, and Deer. I placed 4 colored stones: red, yellow, black and white; and 4 candles at the corners of the cross, and a fifth candle in the North. I also used my Amethyst crystals. At 6:30 PM MST, I began the Ritual. I was still feeling the negative energy that I felt all day, so I did a short clearing meditation before I began. I still wasn't really comfortable with the energy, but I began the Ritual anyway. As I read the words, I began to feel surges of positive energy. At the point of 'meditate for a while', I focused on the portal disk for a short while and then went into a meditation. I did a 'clearing flow' meditation to start with, as I was still feeling the negative energy. After a short delay, I wasn't totally clear, but I was calm enough to begin the Astral journey. I stepped into the 'Tunnel' and came out through the portal in the Cathedral floor. Claire greeted me, and we walked through the corridor of arches to the 'Sacred Center' (S4), where a beam of Light was coming through a window above and to the right. I stood in the Light for a while, and then I felt like I was falling. I ended up at a pool of water (below the Cathedral?). There were several people there and we all just sat around the edge of the pool. It was like the 'pool of the quiet deep'. After a while, we all got up and walked through the stone portal into a passage way that led to a cave-like chamber. There was a fire in the center and the smoke swirled upward through an opening in the ceiling. We sat around the fire, then I came back to the room in my house, and I finished the ritual. Each time I read 'Open Sesame', I could feel a burst of energy. Then I just relaxed for a few minutes, and I went back into another meditation.

Immediately, I was back at the fire in the 'cave'. I floated up with the smoke through the opening. There were several small chambers on each side, then it narrowed down again. It's like I was going through the 'World Soul Matrix'. When I got to the sphere at the top I was floating above the clouds. I could see the Cathedral below, and drifted right over it. Then I could see the beam of Light coming down from above and going down into the Cathedral. But instead of going back down, I went up the beam of Light. The beam turned into a 'ladder', and I climbed up. Then I came to the base of another long and wide set of stairs. As I climbed the stairs, I had the impression that it was on the side of a pyramid. At the top I was greeted by a woman with long dark hair, in a white dress. Another woman came out to greet me, and they walked me back into a room of sorts, one on each side of me. Then it was like I was in an elevator and was descending, and I was alone. I went down to one level, and then descended again. When I came out I couldn't see anything and had no idea where I was. I stood there quite a while. It was dark, and I could never really see anything, and no thoughts occurred to me to let me know where I was. It felt uncomfortable, but not really threatening. I didn't understand why I was there, and there was no one there to tell me anything, so after a while I asked Pi if I could be taken back up to the top, and she did. I didn't see anyone at the top, so I walked back down the stairs. Then it got really weird. I felt like someone or something was attacking me, like a psychic attack. My body literally went into convulsions and I instinctively rolled over on to my stomach (I had been lying on my back). I asked Pi to bring me home and she did. Afterwards, I did not have a good feeling, just feelings of caution, apprehension and uncertainty as to what had just happened. I still don't know where I was or what happened. It was almost like I was in the 'Void' or possibly the 'Dark Side', I don't know. I just know that it wasn't a very friendly place. About 3 hours later, after feeling some intense anger and rage, it became obvious that whoever had attacked me was still with me. So I smudged myself several times, they finally left. Then I finally felt at peace again. Maybe it was one of my Reptile 'friends', I'm not sure.

Claire, do you have any idea of what that pyramid and the elevator might have represented? I'm still baffled by the whole thing. I'd never had anything negative like that happen before on any of my Astral journeys. I guess if this was a test, I must have flunked. I'd appreciate any comments you might have.

Now this was a powerful ritual! I'm still shaking. It did cost me some sleep as in Holland it was 02.30 a.m. when it took place. Anyway I'm grateful for everything that happened although I'm puzzled by parts of it, but maybe you can explain to me the part of the ring. Here are the results.

I woke up even before the alarm went of by a voice calling me that it was time and that "they" were waiting for me. A couple of seconds the alarm rang. I started preparing at 02.00 a.m. and immediately felt the intense energy. A very high pitched sound kept ringing in my ears. When saying the words of the ritual I again felt the tremendous power in my voice. Also it felt like there was a constant flow of healing energy coming from the portal. That's also what happened a lot throughout the ritual, it was a very physical experience. My body was being constantly healed, cleansed and fed by the energy. While meditating on the disks, I used both; with the disk of the Divine Mother facing up and the Shri Yantra disk facing downwards, I felt myself being pulled down into the earth. Again it felt like being healed and there was a intense "Sun" shining on me. After the ritual was over and when I started meditating I saw a very intense light coming form the place where the earth and water was put on the disks, it filled me completely and it then formed into a cross of light. Then the virgin Mary appeared, she held the cross into her hands. I knew everything and everybody was being filled with the energy of love. My body was being pulled at and stretched out. For about 20 minutes the energy kept on flowing through my body, and it was like it was focusing on the parts of my body that are troubling me sometimes, and they were being healed. There were a lot of presences in the room and I was sitting in a dome of light all through the rest of the meditation. While writing down everything last Sunday morning, kept on seeing earth with a cross of light.

At a certain moment I saw earth being reborn. It started by seeing a red fiery ball/planet. I started to cool down, because its color went from red to black/brown. There was lightning and water and clouds appeared. I felt life being formed and then heard: "We are the prophets, welcome in our world. We are here to teach you to be one of us". Again there was this intense healing energy, being stretched by exterior forces. This continued for a while. Then clouds were forming in the portal. Slowly they started to clear and through the haze a hand appeared that was in water. It wore a golden ring with a small ball of light on top of it. The ring was handed to me and I was to put it on my right hand ring finger. I can still feel it there. I was to show the ring to the forces present and kept my right arm and hand in the direction of the portal. A voice said: You are here to help us Lord Templar. Stand up". 12 Templar came in and for each one I bowed my head. I am sure I know them, at least that's what it felt like. The room I was in was filled with light and I sat down again and enjoyed the experience. Slowly the energy was returning to normal. I felt peace and a enjoyable fresh energy came in to me, bottom up. I saw signs of the zodiac turning anti-clockwise and I turned with it. Then it was all over.

The next day the weather here in Holland was completely changed. It was about 20 degrees Celsius which is about 10 above average and it was very crowded at the beach were I went to. I'm not into large crowds, so I didn't stay long. But I kept on seeing people that were hurrying along, not enjoying themselves or the weather. There was lots of sorrow with them and all I could feel was this intense love coming out of my heart. It felt great, but also I felt pain because of all this grief in the other people. To be truthful, I was happy to go home again. Now, a day after the ritual I feel peace and trust. There is change in the air. An important step has been taken.

March 8 at 4:00, 14 women gathered to honor the new moon. We smudged, called in the directions and performed the sun ray dance, a Tibetan-Cherokee movement honoring the 4 directions and races. We banished all oppression of women by lighting a candle, then each lit a candle, invoking empowerment for the future. We shared some pain regarding the pollution and harming of Mother Gaia, held that pain in our hearts as we envisioned a healed earth. We sang songs celebrating lives of wholeness. Then we began the Portal opening ritual. On a rose colored cloth I had placed a copy of the cross of the Mother and a copper plate with the Sri Yantra on it as focal points. A selection of feminine energy cards from the Crowley tarot and the Hawaiian aumakua deck were interspersed with crystals to make a cross. Water blessed by Sai Baba was used during the ritual. The feeling was very strong and powerful during the ceremony; some of us saw the Mother come in white, and later at night outdoors in the hot tub, she came again. Her presence was strongly felt. Afterwards we played drums, sang songs, feasted and hot tubbed.

This ceremony took place after a day of ceremony by a small group of crones -- 4 of us -- who meditated, shared our deepest truths and performed group massage. Thanks for the wonderful ceremony -- I'm looking forward to the next one!

Friday I found myself in a splendid English Tudor home (in England), with coloured glass windows in the hall and magnificent oak carvings designed by the same architect as built the Catholic Westminster Cathedral in London !! (not Abbey, which is older). That night I sat down in the prayer room (the house had been run by nuns). My preparation was scant as I was traveling but I read the prayer slowly with much attention.

First there were very strong blue and violet colours in each side of the body - after praying to Sophia for wisdom I myself became the form of a cathedral - the feeling was so beautiful that tears came to my eyes. The church surely was foreshortened - but my body shell was that sacred form. I asked to see what beings were about and realised a huge angel on one side. I sensed the spirit of Jesus but when thinking: No, he is in Glastonbury to-night as I knew they were meditating there, and when I caught on to how silly this was, of course his spirit was everywhere - then something wondrous happened; I - the cathedral form - somehow got mingled with the form of the house - and I sensed all the beings of the night - the countryside was alive with countless spirits of spring - the night itself became so big somehow, so alive and we were all totally present ---- some people talking and laughing outside were like small unknowing children in the huge, alert, knowing night full of unseen beings.

Saturday night I got up at one o'clock but I was quite sleepy. I went again to the prayer room. The Goddess first appeared as all the "sculptured" gentle ladies be it Mary or Kin Yin - it did not matter. I first hesitated to accept a big silver cross pendant because I thought it was in the shape of the German Nazi cross - but the Goddess blessed me, handed it over and told me to guard her realm in all its " many foldedness". (To wash the hem of her soiled petticoats was needed and I took it to mean the pollutions and overturning and tampering with the surface of the earth).

I saw her holding all the men of the world under one arm and she was quickly plucking out one and one and setting them " free" into the feminine energy sphere - but the women I somehow knew were divided into three groups:

1. those that were slovenly or not awake
2. those that seeking to get under her arm with the men
3. those that dwelt in their own feminine (rightful) energy.

The Goddess assumed the form of a young girl, thin and agile with this light gait, benevolent in all aspects but sometimes I sensed her bigger than ever before.

I sat at the roots of the world tree. I saw the Knights Templar come forth saying they delegated their wisdom to the monks and then later to laymen and scientists and those were natural and necessary routes. I was given a silvery shawl and a crown which I resisted - but realising it was a golden ring I accepted. I was in a bubble of peach pink life force. The crystal world opened up as vibrational pattern from a centre and at a certain points where lines met and planes opened up angels sprang forth from the crystalline outgoing vibration. It was truly beautiful.

Have been feeling a lot of that energy. Archangel Michael has been my primary guide for the last week or two. Xeia/Maureen and I did the ritual together on the phone. Received messages from Michael, and also from Annuk, another guide who came onto the scene several weeks ago as our Teacher during this phase. Annuk was our teacher in the Mystery Schools in Egypt.

Momentums of increased efficiency seem to be part of these newer energies. I continue to get shaken. It's progressed... different kind of shaking. It's now a finer, higher frequency vibration, but still comes on like gangbusters. They are trying to expedite the opening of my eyes and ears with this shaking.

Also met my guardian angel a couple days ago. She appeared to Maureen, spoke to us briefly, then returned to me. Her name is Phylestria. Very sweet, and extremely powerful. She told me right out that she'd be shaking me hard. She was telling the truth. But I'm inviting them to shake me as much and as hard as is needed, to both facilitate and expedite this process. Thought I was gonna pop some blood vessels yesterday, and when she was done with me for the day, I felt like I'd gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. Phylestria is a geometry angel, among whatever other attributes and history she no doubt has. She's triangle, or pyramid, though when she appeared to Maureen, it was as a beautiful female, preceded by a deep lavender light.

I did not do the ritual I really did not know what to so I didn't. But I have been feeling more energy and positive and I just got a raise at work so maybe I am experiencing some of what you are talking about WOW how exciting. Thank you for bring it to my attention, and I plan on doing the next ritual so keep in touch.

What I have been experiencing is the ability to apply my knowledge of healing that I have learned thus far. I have since the ritual, successfully prescribed homeopathic remedies to 3 people. I am teaching a Reiki student this evening.

I have been most well over these past weeks. I can say that time has been like a roller coaster for me and others around me. Times of doubt, sadness and hope have turned into joy and an unbelievable renewal. I personally have a hard time with rituals in general. It seems like a complicated procedure. My personality seems to only allow for doing things "right." Which is to say that I get concentrated on structuring every step of the way and not "letting go." It's almost as if there is some other way I need to express what your rituals are accomplishing. Perhaps it is a blockage of some sort, I'm not quite sure.

Dreams have been my main source of learning and experience lately. Last night I had a dream that put me and a coworker into one of the rooms we work in. I was asleep within the dream, then woke up to find my coworker staring at me like a zombie. I felt this incredible surge of energy. Tingle is not the word. The room was inundated with light as energy surged through my body. I levitated and suddenly flew backward still facing forward about ten feet. The words of the music I heard while this was happening were..."I was born in the desert-so I know how it feels there...Well look up...it's a shooting star..." Just as that phrase ended I looked up and to my right, outside of the window, was an incredible saucer that hovered while energy still poured through me. I awoke from the dream still experiencing the energy and light. Slowly I was back in 3D at 2:30 in the morning.

That is one example of the preparations. An incredible urgency to run over to Egypt and crack open a bunch of hidden chambers also is very high on my list. It is very apparent this is happening across the world. Every day that comes into my experience is filled with new life, and energy. Very soon something staggering is going to take place, and we are the very ones who have come to do that part. That is very much how I feel, and I always look forward very much toward receiving more messages about the rituals and associated knowledge.

These are the ritual results of some of the people who participated. Click the names to go to their results.

Just wanted to let you know I did the ritual and I didn't have any particular unusual occurrence during the ritual other than the feeling of a surging of energy and waves of light coming in. I have felt more light energy since the ritual, and somewhat of a "clearing". The cross of light will protect us all so we are cut off from any negative energy and the positive light energy can expand. God Bless you in your service to the light.

Prior to March 8th I was experiencing strange visual symptoms, where on the periphery of my field of vision there was a slight distortion. This distortion was similar to what one would see on a cold day looking across an area that had a flow of heated air entering the cold air and seeing the refractive index differences. Up to the 8th I seemed to be happy one day and sad the next, however, since the 8th I have been very up and more energetic. As I had indicated before I am somewhat new to meditating, etc. and most of my experiences with my guides have been through a channeler that has been working with me to teach me. More recently she, my teacher, has been out of town and I haven't had the opportunity to work with anyone else. I enjoy reading everyone else's experiences and discussions, thank you for forwarding the info.

Unfortunately, I did not find your page until after the alignment, but I want to know more about what has happened after the ritual. Also, I can't complain about what is happening but I have noticed a difference in how I feel and relate to others. The effects of what has happened started a full two weeks before the eventful day, I wonder if the ritual would have made a difference? I am sure it would have psycho-spiritually, but would it have changed what was happening ? put an afterglow on it? so to speak. I thoroughly enjoyed your writings, with an emphasis on the astrological interpretation. I immediately was able to put into focus what was happening around me, but I wonder if I am being to hard on myself or my interpretation of the interpretation?

I had every intention of going up to my little mountain, here in the Appalachians, about an hour away, and participating with you all... as spirit would have it though, found myself on a 300 mile trip to go meet up in CT with a group from Ashtar instead... 1st time to meet them...

So, Saturday was spent driving on a wing and a prayer, "beyond all reason" and "knowing" what you all/we all were intending for the weekend... took a few breaks along the way, walked by the river... no dedicated moments to any ritual...

Sunday however... after finding this new group of friends I came to see, and being warmly welcomed... again without any words of this portal opening you mention... two separate meditations were led.... one of opening the group to itself... as individuals and as one.... the other was a powerful visualization which likely I couldn't do justice to in describing here.... .... at a minimum can say, I have a memory today, of walking through the Great Pyramid..... I had to leave this group of new friends rather abruptly, so had no time to get reactions from other's experiences....

You mention others describing "...a strong positive energy enfolding me..." <s>... and "...a feeling of being unlimited, of being more successful, of having more energy and of things coming together easier...."

well....(smile).... I dare say the wheels of my van hardly touched ground the first 100 miles or so on my way back to the 3d reality... and the energy moving through me this week is breath-taking at moments....

would be curious to learn how many ways the energy of this weekend were experienced.... as in this group which I visited... not a word was mentioned of the portal opening...... and I noticed some local churches here.. which were calling it a "World Day of Prayer"... hmmmmmmm

I have not been doing anything, along these lines lately. I am trying to feel where I fit in all this...And, somewhat, to understand. I do read what you send, though. And do 'tune in' a lot during each day. Light and peace to you...

I've been feeling great. A strong connection with the Mother, continuing to feel that I'm walking through the cave, into the heart of the mystery, with only my inner senses as guidance. And in this state, being called upon to do service, to share my "wisdom", in a sense my being comfortable in the not-knowing place.... being called upon to share the healing power of listening, of holding the energy sacredly in love. Feeling drawn more and more to meditation in the middle of increasing outward activity. The trees are flowering, the mallards are visiting our pond, spring is erupting, everything is new!

I haven't been taking direct part in the rituals but I feel strong energies and lots of things happening to me personally...I don't know if this is what you meant but I know my spiritual path is opening a bit... I'm learning about 'healing' and things of this nature, feeling more connected to the Universe and am wanting to take part in the rituals the more comfortable I am becoming with things of this nature... you've indicated that some of my dreams interconnect with theses rituals so maybe I am and just don't know it? Continue to send me your information..*smile*

Thank you for adding me to your mailing list, and for checking on the results. I am sorry that I have not written sooner with the results, but I am still trying to figure the results out. I too have had a feeling of more energy, haven't been to bed for 40 hours, and not really in that bad a shape. The strange occurrence that brought about my questioning the results is the very strong draw that I have had to the Rosicrucian order since the meditation. Maybe there is something that I am to learn from the order from which the Knights Templar originated. I will write more as this mystery unfolds for me. My cross of crystals is still set up with the fifth candle to the north, my meditations have been meaningful, but nothing spectacular yet!

I am still pondering the results of the ritual. Yes, I did perform it exactly as it was written. What I did was tape record a reading of it and then played it back as I was performing the ritual. It was a wonderful peaceful experience and I spent the rest of the evening quietly with no outside stimulation. BTW, I performed the ritual in my bedroom, so as to avoid any interruption or questions as to the articles I had assembled. That bedroom has since become a very special place...I will tell you more when I have the words to describe how things have changed for me. BETTER!! I am at peace and I know things are the way they are supposed to be.

Since this was my first ritual, I was quite excited and scurried to prepare an altar since I found out about it only a few days before. The day of the ritual I went for a long walk in the woods by the river and collected some mussel shells I found on the banks. That evening I could scarcely eat, and raced to the bedroom immediately after to set up my altar. I had used a pendulum earlier that morning to locate 3 portals - one in the bathroom, one in the closet adjacent to the bathroom, and one next to the east window, just north of the bathroom. I decided to set up the altar in the closet, and cleared everything out in preparation. I laid out a special handkerchief I have which is printed with turtles and thunderbirds, and my hawk feather found several years ago. I placed amethyst and crystal geodes at the entrance to the closet. Around the altar I placed the shells collected earlier that day. My cross was constructed using the Native American Tarot Deck laid out in the Kachina Knife spread. I pulled one card for contemplation, the 3 of Pipes (Joint Effort). I invited my family to participate at that point. I began the ritual by smudging with Cedar, Sage and Sweetgrass. I began reading the ritual and lit the candles, but kept feeling something wasn't right. It wasn't until afterwards, I realized I had begun one half hour early. It took me quite a while to settle down, being in a new place to meditate. Eventually, I remembered to bring Light in through my crown chakra, opening all my chakras, and grounding in the crystalline core of Gaia. I had some difficulty visualizing the Cathedral, in spite of reviewing the pictures on the web. Eventually, I saw the Rose window briefly. I connected with my Higher Self, who held out a hand in invitation to follow. I felt like I was wading through quicksand, trying to lift myself up without much success. After struggling unsuccessfully, I saw numerous guides toss me up in the air right through the portal. I did a few loops in the celestial sky, enjoying my newfound freedom. I remember seeing lots of Light beings around me, observing my form. One pulled my arm away from my body - as if to show me how Light I had become. When I realized where I was, THUD, back to third dimensionality I came.

I continued reflecting for about an hour after. I turned over the tarot cards and read about my journey. The Kachina Knife is a five card spread. Cards 1 and 2, the heart of the matter were One of Pipes (introspection) and Warrior of Pipes (impetuosity and unpredictability). Card 3, representing past influences was Hosteen Coyote (unconscious will). Card 4, signifying the present was The Lovers (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction). Card 5, showing the future was The Weaver (attunement to the goddess of wisdom). This completed, I blew out the candles and left the closet.

My mind has been on that closet, the altar and the ritual ever since. I look forward to participating in more rituals, especially the Spring Equinox coming soon. I'm thinking of incorporating gifts to bless the elemental kingdom (like tobacco) in an all night prayer vigil, culminating at dawn when I will stand outside, facing the Sun, and ask for alignment and healing of Mother Earth with the Sun.

You are performing a wonderful planetary service - even to folks like myself who may not have got around to the rituals - you see we also have a loose knit group who meet regularly - sometimes simply being together, talking or meditating or walking around the lake - or in the bush - and working with the 'earth energies' as we go -- and I am convinced that your beautiful communications (having come into our ambit) touch us even in our subtle energy fields. very much love, light and many blessings to you and your good work.

I have been experiencing a much more positive out look, confidence is the word that comes to mind. I also have been doing certain techniques to raise my kundalini. I have been having faint impulses at times that I am communicating with Chief Joseph. I just hate to be left out of the party and it frustrates me when I am not having the bold and the vivid experience, However, I am having the subtle and the fuzzy. Also since the ritual I have had a confidence in the fact that I no longer have to worry and obsess about money (before I would always worry and obsess) I guess patience is the key.

I was not able to participate in the ritual, as some things interfered with it this time, but I did read all the material connected with it, and yes, I do fell the opening and uplifting you describe. --blessings,

Since Charbern and I participated together in the ritual, it has been an amazing week. Several different things have occurred. First, my energy has been up, and I have been catching up and moving faster into business decisions, etc. Additionally, I have made a decision to leave Irc (which is the chat areas of the internet) and find that since making the decision to leave I have been able to accomplish more. Both Charbern and I believe that leaving Irc was a direct link to what he and I both wish to accomplish.

l did not get the chance to do the ritual, but was there in thought... But things have been happening, l have been feeling energy more, specially in the lower chakra region, and thought is creating just little things, but still its a start...Also questions are being answered very quickly, via books becoming available or through meditation, this is truly a great time to be alive...

Regrettably I didn't participate fully. However around the time of the portal I did start to feel that new energy. I thought it might've come from the eclipse but then I read about the Portal and I think it comes from that. Yes, I have felt very, very intense positive energies. I have still have felt my share of darker energies, going through them. But when I break through again, and I hit that positive point it feels even more so...if that makes sense. happy last day of the current Tun

I would like you to know that I did participate in the Cathedral Ritual Los Angeles time. I did follow your instructions on how to proceed. Thank you. Since I am new to your group as of 1/30/97, all this seemed as a new experience even though esoterically I have been exposed to literature and global meditations and organizations in the past. The planet is going through difficult times and this burden is felt by many children of Light who want to establish that special contact with the Divine Mother of our Universe.

During this Ritual, I did send lots of love for the healing of this planet. I felt good; however, I did not experience anything unusual. I hope for the best. If you can share your views as you saw all those participating individuals from the Dimension of Light during or after the Ritual, and the input of The Hierarchy of Light could serve us well to improve in our next step on this path. Thanks again.

Here are our brief ritual results. (If I wrote all that we experienced, it would take pages!) Four of us had planned to do the ritual together, but unforeseen circumstances caused us to split into two separate locations. We contacted each other by phone afterward, and were amazed at the similarities in our experiences.

My friend and I suddenly had to shift our location for the ritual to her house. As we were traveling there, she intuitively sensed where the portal was located in her house, and since it was 8:25 when we arrived we hurriedly set up our ritual items (quartz crystals, shells, feathers, candles, etc.). During this time both of us felt interesting sensations - my third eye region was pulsating, and we both kept getting numerous energy rushes. Then we settled into the circle, stated our intentions for participating in the ritual (to release fears, and blockages, to create deeper connection with Spirit) and then called in the directions, and began our meditation to hook up. We had been in a rather serious mood, which seemed in keeping with the ritual, but as soon as we hooked up (which we both felt as an intense energetic shift) we began to sense a different tone. Soon we were giggling, then outright laughing with joy - this was not what we had expected! It was as if a HUGE party was going on, with incredible feelings of joy, love and merriment being shared and spread around. As we compared our visions, we realized we were seeing the same thing. Both of us had almost immediately seen the interior of Chartres which then opened up to the vast night sky with its flying buttresses creating a bridge on which countless beings were "sliding" down to connect with the well Portal, and then joining in this party!

We saw scene after scene of this wonderful merriment, and got the feeling that it was to help all of us to recognize the immense joy involved in connecting with Spirit, which certainly dissolves any fears! This went on for a while, then the energy became calmer. At that point I sensed Sophia/Isis as a huge presence above Chartres. She had a vast glow around her and water was pouring from her robes, which became Love energy as it spread out over all below. We basked in this peaceful, warm embrace for a long time, quietly drinking it in. Then we closed out the circle and realized we had been there for almost an hour. We were surprised, because it didn't seem that long.

Our friends called then, and we compared experiences. They had almost the identical sensation of joy and merriment and saw Chartres open to the sky. They also a huge Cross in the heavens as Chartres opened up. They too experienced The Mother Love as Sophia/Isis and saw almost the same image of her as we had - above Chartres extending her Love to all below. One friend, who had not read any of the Ritual information, said she got the idea it was about abundance, so it came through loud and clear!

Since then I've experienced a greater sense of "ease and flow". Meaning it seems to take less effort to actualize and manifest positive flow in my daily life; i.e. bumping into the right person at the right time etc. All in all, it was a wonderful experience for all of us. Thanks Claire for your inspiration. I have some additional stories that are pretty amazing.

As I mentioned we were putting things out for the circle in a hurry, because of having to quickly change our location for the ritual. We had only candle light to see with and our things were in pouches. I put out the items in my friend's pouch also, and there was one little thing I was unsure about. I asked her, and she said it was a small crystal, so I put it in the center of the circle. After the ritual when we were gathering the items, she picked up the little piece and asked if this was what I had asked about, and I said yes. She burst out laughing and in the brighter light, we could see that it was just a little piece of wood - a tiny twig - that must have ended up at the bottom of her pouch somehow. This little twig had been in the center of our ritual circle! We really got the joke and dubbed it "Cosmic Debris".

Astrologically I immediately associated it with Pluto, and how Pluto represents the cosmic debris we carry with us, but sweep under the rug and try our best to ignore. We not only didn't ignore our debris, we placed it in the center of our altar! To me this was a beautiful metaphor for retrograde Pluto located in the 12th house in the Chartres Ritual chart, since the 12th house actually represents that "under the rug" portion of our unconscious minds! And to me, part of the Ritual was about accepting our "debris", putting it on the table along with the rest of our "holiness" and loving it too.

The second thing happened 4 days after the ritual on March 11. I had a very unexpected reunion with a soulmate of mine who came on a surprise visit from Papua New Guinea, where he has lived for the past 6 years. Years ago when we were overseas together we had a couple of bank accounts here in the States, which we divided up upon our return. When we had our reunion just a few days ago he handed me an envelope filled with money! Apparently, in the hectic days when we first returned, we just forgot about this particular bank account. But, when he was settling up his finances recently, he re-discovered it with thousands of dollars in it! So suddenly I have a lot more money than I thought I had! It was in the middle of the night, days after this, as I lay awake in bed that it hit me - Wow, the Ritual- Abundance!!! And what a wonderfully rapid confirmation!

"This is the name of my city, 'Nine Gates,' Let us praise God as we are mindful that the tenth is the head." (The Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles, The Nag Hammadi Papyri)

There were three of us that did the ritual: three women. I had wrapped the purple hula hoop in aluminum foil to develop the silver color of the Mother, and we made the altar on the floor again. We set pictures and statues of Mary in the circle along with crystals, a cross from the Holy Land, a bowl of water, a plant with earth, healing wands of light, some rosary beads, one of crystal beads and the other of dark beads, and we made a cross from angel cards. We put 5 candles around as instructed, two at the north. We also made fruit offerings of oranges and apples.

Before the ritual here at the house, the three of us met at Loretto Chapel, a small gothic chapel in town, and meditated. We saw many of the same images during the meditation (meaning all three of us) particularly diamonds and triangles of energy connecting the three of us to the Mary statue. From the tabernacle door came a burst of golden light. Energy was then coming from both the Mary side and the Joseph statue side. High energy, very balanced. We stayed there in meditation for about 20 or 30 minutes. Carol had gotten the information earlier in the week that we needed to anchor the energy there before the ritual at the house.

We came out here to the country. We first did a meditation on the Kabalah Sephiroth, Binah, the mother energy in the Tree of Life. After that, I started reading the incantation you provided, lit the candles, and blessed the cross and objects in the circle with water and earth.

Interestingly, my reading stumbled over the section on El Dorado. At the same time, the candle in the west went out. Carol reached over and took one of the candles from the north and placed it in the west...bringing spirit to the west. (Another group, by the way, out in Calif. had the same experience with the west candle going out and bringing the extra candle from the north to replace it.) Carol began seeing golden droplets of chrism oil flowing down into the portal altar. Toward the end of the meditation, there was a spiral of water like from a sprinkler that showered up and out over us. After reading, we sat in quiet meditation. I felt a strong presence next to me, a mother presence, on my right. Carol felt the presence more in the portal like a tower. Which may have been where it was since I was turned a little to one side by that time with my right side next to the portal. Carol felt that there was a message given out, a decree to the world, although she didn't pick up what the words were. (She has also reported this week that something big is coming, not just for us but for the world.) We then picked up the silver hoop and in turn stepped through the portal. After that, we held the hoop above our heads and let it lower over the three of us standing together. Carol said she wanted to give out a whoop, there was so much love and joy and energy that came with that gathering in the three of us. The hoop dropped to the floor and felt complete and we put it back around the altar.

We each chose an angel card from the rest of the cards. Gail drew Gabriel; I drew Raphael; and Carol drew The Angel of Youth. (We are beginning, aren't we?) With that we ended the ritual. There was a seminary meeting that evening that we all needed to go to, and that ended up being such a wonderful gathering full of love.

It feels as though the energy has shifted in a subtle way. We are more at peace, calmer, taking the time to rest when we need to. My sense is that the energy has anchored in some way and is ready for manifestation. However, each of us has the task of shaping that energy in whatever way is right for us, individually and globally.

All day there were wispy "angel clouds" in a blue, blue sky. And later that night after the meeting, the clouds had a luminescence to them, a whitish glow in the night sky. I send you love and peace.

I've been having such joy, these days. How about you? Here is some joy I am looking forward to. I'm going to Virginia to initiate a fellow list member as a new Priest of Isis. He has built two large, replica pyramids THAT WORK. He built them based on the information he got from his inner guides and from ideas he got from reading our Ritual of the Pyramid Portals experience.

One pyramid, its inner chamber lined with selenite, sits inside the other and is a merkaba meditation chamber. He calls the pyramids, "Isis Crystal Meditation Center." I will be sending more specific information about the structure, soon.

I'm hoping you can join in, at least energetically, to help us out. We want to initiate the priest, activate two Wands of Isis (wands of manifestation), charge the pyramid portal, and then go through the portal to the next pyramid dimension, which we believe to be that of Ptah. Other rituals are planned, as well.

When I was initiated as a Priestess of Isis in 1993, it happened while I was sleeping. As I slept, I awoke on the inner planes and just inside the portal of a stone temple. Shadow people in long robes moved around in the half-light like lighted silhouettes, their leather sandals scuffing the old stone floor as they murmured prayers. I thought I heard them say my name.

The shadow people got incense from silent priests leaning against the stone walls and they placed it in long-handled ladles made of copper and bronze. They stretched out their arms and piled the incense onto the burning brick pillars that stood like smoking chimney tops. As I gazed dreamily upon the scene, I wondered where I was exactly. I began to hear the soothing chanting of priestesses somewhere in the hazy interior, and I felt myself relax into the atmosphere and into the room.

As the people moved around me in a circle, a sacred book materialized in my open and waiting hands, and I read the words, "Rituals of the High Priestesses of Ptah. Element-Fire. Regarding Element-Fire, follow the Rules of Congaylia." I felt the book's bliss enter me and again I heard the soft chanting of the priestesses, their song working on me like a lullaby. I feel into a deep sleep, and awakened myself in the morning by a prayer I was murmuring to Isis, to Osiris, and to Ptah.

In the initiation ritual, we will be following the Rules of Congaylia as regards the element fire in the initiation of a priest of Isis. Let me know if you want to be involved; I would love to hear from you and reconnect.

Long time has passed between us, but now let us close the gap of time. Once again your spirit and energy are called for in portal activation. Please be with us in this special time. The new High Priest of Isis is gaining initiation into the celebrated Order of Ptah. But first let us tell you something about him:

Jordan has completed the initial stage of the three-part sequence to portal activation of the Sirian Stargate Pyramid. He has become a priest of Isis in the finest sense, for he is following Her instructions with great care, and now he is commended by Her in ceremony for his keeping of Her covenants.

On October 23, 1998, at 3:00 am in the morning, Jordan was transformed by a star system shaped like a 5-pointed, coin-shaped star. The star system transmitted to him information in the form of a brilliant white beam of starlight. Now, nearly one year later, Jordan has completed the project given him by the Light. He has built two pyramids, one inside the other. With this pyramid creation, as made with Isis at his hand and elbow, Jordan gains the highest honors due his art and architecture.

The High Priest initiation will be held in the inner of the two pyramids. As in the Great Pyramid of Cheops, and as Isis directs, the priest-initiate will lie upon the table as the priestess stands to the right and then the left and invites his Spirit-Soul to ascend to the realms of Isis, Osiris, Horus, and Ptah. As Jordan begins to experience merger with the One, the two pyramids act as according to their purpose - as a Divine Merkaba Chariot - and carry his spirit-soul to the inner circles of Thoth's City of Eight Gods.

As his spirit-soul ascends, we will ascend our spirit-souls to the dimension of Ptah, where we will see the stargate pyramid beam the brilliant white light that comes from the interior, where the great, blue crystal shines.

Isis: "My new Isis Crystal Meditation Temple is built on sacred ground, on land dedicated to me by the Atlanteans, living in the planet's subcontinents. They support my project of building temple-pyramids."

The temple stands in a vast forest of trees turning red and yellow in the Autumn sun. These are the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, part of a great chain of mountainous forests that reaches across the United States, from New York to Georgia.

In the forest the temple rests in the arms of nature (Isis be Her Name). It stands as Her leymarker of an powerful energy line in the western part of Virginia. The temple is shielded by an old Earth pyramid from days gone by, an big old dirt and grass codger with ancient stories to tell. Standing even taller above that pyramid is a gigantic, stone mountain pyramid. At the base a picturesque lake mirrors the mountain for a double pyramid effect. And whispered on the breeze, the words, "Isis made me!"

All is Bright and Beautiful. In the mountains, the energy is wild and strong. Isis feels its power and decrees, on a starry night and in a flash of blinding white light, "I made this Place! I cherish it! Here is where my double pyramid shall stand."

Jordan: "Suddenly, about 11:30pm, something woke me up and I found myself sitting up, and the entire meditation room was now brilliantly bright! So bright there weren't any shadows. Then I saw the candle that had gone out earlier. It was there in front of me, with a brilliant flame over an inch high and radiating white light. It seemed to have lit itself. I felt the most incredible feeling of a presence about me and it was soo peaceful. I remember getting up and going over to the candle, giving thanks, and blowing it out and saying good night."

And tonight, let us do the same. We shall say, "To Isis do we give all thanks for lighting us the Way." We are inviting the Pleiadians to appear at the Isis Temple at 10:10pm, on Saturday night, 10:9:99. You do the same at 10:10pm your time and let's see what happens. (Remember to set up your portal, temple, alter, or sacred space prior to this.)

Jordan: "The Isis Crystal Meditation Center is composed of wood and steel, and surrounded by wind, earth, water and fire. The pyramid is 14 feet square, and 12 feet 2 and a half inches tall. The center is part of a 45 foot square garden area. The design of the center is that of a double pyramid, with one wooden pyramid inside the other. The portal to both is protected by two lions cast in concrete.

Inside the first pyramid is an open area containing a garden and water fountains. Inside the first pyramid is another wooden pyramid. The portal of the second pyramid is guarded by an angel fountain cast in concrete. This pyramid is 9 feet, 6 inches square, and eight feet, 11 inches tall. Within it is the Isis Chamber, reached by a series of "S" shaped stairwells, 7 steps in height. The Isis Chamber is 7 feet in diameter, 6 feet high and hexagonal in shape. Trimmed with cedar wood, it houses the sacred circle/sphere of the individual who sits/lays in meditation.

The Isis Chamber is made of one and a half inch, flat plate steel and houses 5 steel rings forming the shape of the Solar Cross. The chamber is completely closed in with glass and specially designed doors. The chamber contains a ten foot high wooden bed platform that is 2 feet, 10 inches wide by 6 feet, 5 inches long. This bed area encloses 3 steel rings. The two outer steel rings at the head and feet level (locations) contain another steel ring, with crystals between these two inner and outer rings. The center 3rd ring, located between the heart chakra area and the 1st chakra, is composed of three steel rings 30 inches, 24 inches and 20 inches in diameter. (within each other). The interior of the Isis chamber contains 2 other steel rings to the right and left of the bed area. These will contain water, fire and crystals. These rings are part of a water/crystal transmission piping system used to carry charged water out of the chamber to the water fountain within the larger pyramid. The water flows outside to a large ground pond within the 45 foot garden area.

The Sirians have especially requested me to promote to rank of Sirian Commander a lightworker you may know of, named Char. This is his second promotion, having received his first in 1996, along with Dan Winter. This is the first time the Sirians have allowed me to reveal the Commanders promoted in 1996. Now, they are asking that I let you know who they are.

I earlier sent an email to this initiation group asking for special information regarding Key 4. This was probably an obscure question to everyone except Char, who responded immediately with Key 4 information:

Wasn't aware of Keys, but in response to your question, I'm told I do have some information. Opening first to I AM I AM, and then to the Sirian guide spokesperson who's been with me (don't have a name yet), I allow:

"Greetings, Dear Ones. Key 4 relates to Chakra 4. Know that the primary key in this process of initiation, this process of further expanding, further evolving, further becoming, is the key of your heart. Know that all your chakras are vibrating, and will be vibrating significantly during this meditation on Sunday (and in all the preparatory meditations each of you does between now and then).

You can facilitate this process by consciously opening yourself to Source, and simply telling your chakras, "Chakras, unify!"... and then simply quiet yourself and allow.. permit... make room. This will help to get all chakras vibrating at a single, central frequency... the frequency of Love... the frequency most effectively radiated through the heart chakra.

The pyramid is many things... an interdimensional communication device... a portal... an amplifier... in some of the same ways crystals can be amplifiers, and can focus and direct energies. In these times, and for this upcoming meditation, please know that the pyramid(s) surrounding each of you, and the pyramids to which you will connect yourselves throughout the global light grid, will be anchoring very high frequency vibrations... higher and higher frequencies of Love... and emanating through each of you, and through those pyramids, and radiating out in all directions in the earth plane.

Pyramids and crystals can be powerful and wonderful instruments. Each of you embody all the 'instrumental' characteristics of both crystals and pyramids. You are interdimensional communication devices... you are tremendous amplifiers, augmented with the tremendous power of your free will and your emotional energy... you are conduits for the Light of Love that is Real Energy. Fully functioning, you are the perfect instruments in this universe, and in this project Awakening Earth, this process of leaping to a higher dimensional plane.

Know that the Key to your instrumentality is the Love you allow Life to flow through you and into the world. The point of balance for your 7 primary chakras is the Heart. Allow your heart to be also your point of balance in the universe.

Thank you,
a Sirian Emissary of Light,
in conjunction with Pleiadian Emissaries of Light,
in harmony with the Family of Light
Char
Sirian Commander

We are so profoundly in this initiation energy, aren't we? I have been learning a new lightwork technique, called overlighting. The beautiful goddess Isis is teaching it to me. Here is how it works.

Isis is overlighting material I originally channeled from Lord Sananda, that has to do with our human relationship with subatomic particles. This book originally came through me as automatic writing (typing), and I laughed and laughed when I received it because it is so funny.

Sananda and I had such a great time sending all the enlightened particle physicists to hell for squeezing their enlightenment out of subatomic particles, God/dess's tiniest space commanders. In the energy of Isis, I am learning that any time we send somebody to hell, for whatever reason, a little piece of us goes there with them, and in order to grow and be whole we will have to reclaim that piece. This is an initiation I call "Descension," in which we make a reclamation (descension) prior to an ascension. So, whoever you sent to hell out of your judgement, now is the time, under this energy seal/shield of Hathor, to go down there and get them back. Working individually and as a group, we can reclaim dissonant parts of ourselves and our race and enjoy a planetary ascension.

The last two weeks, I have been overlighting Sananda's revelatory material with Isis' love and forgiveness, and oh, what a beautiful experience and healing it is. Do you remember the teaching in the Egyptian mystery-myth? No matter how many times Typhon destroyed Osiris, the husband of Isis, and no matter how many times he made Isis cry, she forgave Typhon in the end, and she required her son Horus to untie him and set him free. This is her teaching - forgiveness and unconditional love.

How wonderful it is to see how overlighting works as I overlight Sananda's humor and karate chops with Isis' love and forgiveness. The title of the book is Lampoon Dictionary of Partycall Fizz666. The purpose of the book is help us become master lightworkers by teaching more about our relationship with subatomic particles. We can understand more about how we manifest ourselves and our reality via their Divine Grace and the chakra system, which is the part of our body that operates at the subatomic particle level.

The book sends healing energy as it overlights the field of atom smashing, shining love and light on that reality where we subject particles to smashing, splicing, splitting and fusing. The book really tries to bring a paradigm shift in the fields of particle and nuclear physics through love and laughter and by bringing an important message to physicists and the rest of us - subatomic particles are units of pure consciousness, little beings of light. It means everything is alive and related to everything else - everything is sacred, everything is God/dess!

The message of the book is that we are the spiritual consciousness of the Universe working in the realm of merging spirit with matter. And rather than being fallen angels, we are coming fully into our identities as Keepers - administrative Spirit in the universe. As Keepers in the realm of Isis the Great Mother, we are gifted by her life, love and forgiveness. And as we come into our identity as Keepers, we see images in the mist of our identities as angels! Not fallen angels but working angels, just doing what we know how to do and what God/dess requires us to do. Isis requires us to untie Typhon and release him, though he has made Her cry, for when we set him free out of love and forgiveness, we set our own selves free to fly.

Thank you for the ritual results you have been sending me. I'm compiling them and will email them after I get some more. I would be interested in reading about your experience with the Egyptian goddess Hathor. My experiences of her are included below and I would like to hear about your experiences. I will send these out in email to everyone on the list (about 110 people).

To receive the great goddess Hathor, sit in lotus position with the palms facing up. Pray for her to come to you and initiate you. Notice any sensations in your palms. After you feel Hathor imprint your palms, cover your eyes with them. She will then open the brow chakra and place her seal-shield. If you feel intuitively to cover other chakras with your palms, please do so and she will open those chakras.

My personal vision of Hathor is a beautiful young woman with black hair, about shoulder length and smoothed under. She is wearing a head band with a snake standing at the center in the shape of an "S." Her seal/shield is in the shape of an "S" and has gold and white energy diamonds and pearls.

My understanding of her, based on her energy and her revelations to me, is that she is like the Greek goddess Athena and goes forth as the warrior priestess-sister of Isis to prepare a place for her. After Hathor has marked you with her energy diamonds and pearls, you are more likely to be visited by Isis. I have read of the ancient Egyptian temple of Denderah, in which is a room for the mother and divine child. In the room is the image of Hathor holding the child.

She is like the archetypal warrior-mothers of Icelandic saga. I drew a picture, one time, of a woman like this for my Myth and Saga class in graduate school. (They didn't get it :-( My professor wanted to know what it meant. I was stunned that he didn't already know.) I showed her standing with a child in one arm and a double-axe in the other hand. On her head was a viking helmet. I considered it to be a true picture of a Viking mother. It was just a vision I had in my twenties, but now I think I connected with this goddess energy even then.

If I try to catagorize it, I think about guardian angels, and I wonder about guardian goddesses. I think of Hathor as a shield guide goddess with powers to heal us and make us whole. I am hoping to be in her energy for as long as I can. If you are already visited by Isis, then welcome Her sister Hathor as a personal guide, guardian and friend. I find her energy to be warm and loving. I enjoyed her visit with me last night, and when I placed both palms over my eyes, I was astonished by a vision of double-spiraling tunnels basking in white light.

"I have looking up my Hathor mysticism. She was, I believe, the Goddess of Love, music and dance.

The bronze sacred rattle, seshehet, or sistrum was sacred to her. There were several types of these; one was as a musical instrument shaken, and another was a ceremonial sistram which terminated in a shrine and was used as a votive offering to the goddess.

One of the ceremonial artifacts was the Menat, a necklace of thick beads and a counterpoise hanging from the centre at its lowest point, long enough to be held in the hand, like a handle. This was worn by Hathor's priestesses and was shaken at ceremonials."

Please be patient with me. These initiations are continuing, and I am still gathering information regarding the energies involved. Here is some material I feel guided to include regarding the secret identity of His Majesty Horus. He is overlighted by His Brother Jesus, himself overlighted by the brilliant blue and white light of the star Sirius.

From Magicwitch, this material: Son of Man is also Mote, the son of the goddess Asherah. She was a Phoenician deity, widely worshipped through out the mid east until the biblical Moses came around. She was revered as the wife of El. That was part of the Canaanite mythology. Asherah and El had seven children the most important ones are Mote, Baal, and Anath (daughter).

The Canaanite mythology: Mote defeated Baal as he tried to kill El. Mote took up arms for his father El. Anath the daughter, who was really fond of Baal, promised revenge. El liked Mote's effort, however he had to prove himself. Therefore, Mote had to walk the earth as a man, and had to die. While he was dying, Anath told Mote El doesn't love him anymore, that he has forsaken him. Mote says while he is dying, "El, El, why have you forsaken me." (Sound familiar ?)

That was precisely the reason the high priests, around the birth of Jesus (Yeoshua, his actual name), wanted him dead, because he was the son of Asherah. Another indication that he was indeed Asherah's son was where he started out and did most of his preaching.

All the hilltops around the sea of Galilee and the sea of Galilee itself were devoted to Asherah, pre-Moses time. Where did he perform his first miracle? Kapernum, former Canaanite city. Because of what the Hebrews did under Moses, Yeoshua was a nightmare come true. But back to the hilltops and the sea of Galilee. Asherah was known as the lady of the lake (sea of Galilee), the mother of Gods, the Queen of Heaven. Where did Jesus (alias Mote) go to when he felt troubled? To the hilltops around the sea of Galilee. Even in his last minutes before he was arrested he went to a hilltop. Was he actually talking to his mother Asherah ? That would make sense, if you want to unite with your father to whom to you go. Was the figure of the so called "Holy Spirit " actually Asherah ? Where did he go to talk to the people? The sea of Galilee.

Asherah has several different names: Freya, Athena, and sometimes Astarte. From Astarte the name Star is derived ( A-Star-Te) and the word astart (the beginning). In 650 BC the Celts explored the mid and near east (nearly 50 before they got the British Isles) and got exposed to the Astarte cult. They grew very fond of Asherah/Astarte and took her with them as Eastra or Ostra. The fest Beltane was created in honor of her. So Asherah is our mother. The more militant version of Astarte is Aanth her daughter. She is also known as Isis, Cerridwen, Dianah, and probably Hectate.

This is the day of spiritual insight, when we glimpse the reality we are planning for ourselves. Several projections become visible as Osiris divides himself into 14 pieces.

O, Fruit of the God!
Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.
The Many and the One!

Here are the first initiation results. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. As usual, I am stunned at what a small, focused and spirit-guided group can do.

Char, Sirian Commander of Ground Forces and all-around good Brother writes from New York state:

Was on the road Sunday 10/10 from almost 11:30 AM til about 2:15 PM, and was focusing on and off between 11:30 and a little after Noon... then more constantly til about 1... then on and off again after that. Felt a great deal of energy moving. Felt Natalie's presence and your presence through pretty much all of it. Can't say I was specifically aware of you calling to me.... but no doubt was on some level, since I found myself also calling to you, even though I was visualizing you in Georgia.

Felt and kinda saw pyramids everywhere.... the pyramid Natalie and I often form with Haenig in meditation, and also overlapping sometimes with one formed by her sister Nadine, her roommate Donna, and I'm not sure who, and the downward-pointing pyramid formed by three Guides: Bernadette, Gryqus, and Archangel Michael descended and overlapped us, as I described had happened in previous meditations... and I noticed that all this was taking place inside another larger pyramid... each of them and all of them appearing as bright lines of light... filled with moving, glowing 'clouds' of light... against an outer space-like dark background... light that radiates outward in all directions, throughout the global grid... connecting with similar light pyramids in MANY places throughout that grid... and as more and more were connected, it seemed they'd ALL glow a little brighter... Also at times aware of even brighter light from 'above' coming into the top of each pyramid. Sensed the Energy of Oneness being radiated more and more through all.

It also seemed (and more so, in the aftermath SEEMS) like another whole level of awareness being activated. I specifically opened to the Pleiadians and Sirians (always asking, "Are you I AM I AM?" before allowing) several times... felt their presence rather powerfully at times. Also, during the meditation, the concept of 'DNA restoring and restructuring' occurred to me enough to make me realize that that too was part of what was going on with these energies. I can't say I 'remember' more now, in terms of past lives or my Spirit's consciousness... but somehow feel that much closer to greater clarity and understanding. Not exactly sure of what yet. LOL Kind of a broader level of awareness somehow. Bigger picture perspective, maybe.

Tuesday I received a little info from Bernadette while talking with Natalie Hawkmoon: Me: "We're still just only beginning to open more circuits... or to allow more circuits to be opened... but we're in a bit more of a 'leap' right now... more than baby steps... sort of a crossroads... or interchange of a rural road with a freeway... or the difference between looking out a sunroof window and standing outdoors. I'm getting some help here... LOL" (recognized that Bernadette was trying to write through me, so I turned it over to her:)

Bernadette: ~~~Pyramid energy. You are the most powerful pyramids... you are the most powerful crystals... you are the most powerful instruments of Light and Love in the world, and you progress well... far more so than either of you realizes, though you get enough glimpses to know the direction. You have both been aware of a lot of energy moving... both in your waking hours and your sleeping hours, and have both been aware on some levels that you're busy doing a lot of work. This is so very true. And it's such good work that you are doing. You will enjoy easing into recollection of who you are on other levels and what you ... the whole you... are now accomplishing. We are part of you. We are One with you, as you are One with each other. ALL are One with you as you are One with each other. This brighter light will shine forever. Thank you. We love you. Keep up the great work~~~

Natalie Hawkmoon received some information regarding our DNA restoration and restructuring... that it was in harmony with the global light grid that connects us all on this plane... the global light grid that keeps getting brighter, keeps vibrating at higher frequencies, as more and more of us on that grid open to the highest frequencies of Light and Love. We went back and forth a few times in email conversation, and right now I don't recall exactly who 'remembered' or figured out what, but the bottom line of it is that our restructuring DNA is synonymous with the light of that grid... synonymous with the earth level collective consciousness... and more directly in contact with Universal Mind.

She was told that she and I share a strand of DNA, which would help to explain the close spiritual kinship we've experienced since we met here. Then I received that we each share strands of DNA with many others... 12 each... and each of those 12 share strands with 11 others... and so on and on... such that it's something in our DNA that connects us all... and our collective consciousness.

Before, I'd always 'seen' the grid as a 2 dimensional gridwork of light around the globe... like a fishnet. Now I'm seeing it as being 3 dimensional, in terms of having 'thickness'... or more of a full substance than that flat grid.... and that 'substance' is formed somehow by the geometric lights and interconnected spirals of our DNA somehow. Still not as clear to me as I'm sure it will be.

And Claire, the stuff you just sent yesterday, describing the Oneness of two beings merging... that's very much like the Oneness Energy that Hawkmoon and I have been shown. And there was something about this in St. Germain's writing on those Spiritweb pages... or maybe it was Archangel Michael... about different ones of us being brought together to experience that energy... to give us a better idea of the energy of Oneness that we truly share with ALL... if and as we allow ourselves to be taught... and to unlearn what we need to unlearn, to make room for the broader understandings of who and what we are.

I went through a routine I have to relax, but didn't anticipate anything, however I tried to mentally walk my steps through the Great Pyramid again, nothing for a long time, but occasionally I got a flash of a face, not well defined, neither could I tell it male or female.

In my mind I imagined that I flew from the Pyramid and tried to do what you described. flying around the Pyramid at Gizeh, this didn't last long, and I was back once more on my bed, I had not physically flown.

Tonight I will burn a candle, I used to do this a long time ago, watching the flame and allowing myself to drift, I had managed to get my body to completely relax, it took a long time, but then like all disciplines it is meant to, for nothing is gained if it is not worked at.

Back to last night, I can not say that what I saw was in fact what I saw, if you get my meaning, but it looked like a column of white not very bright, nor very large, which slowly changed into a figure, there were no features, no hands or feet. It looked like a fuzzy white head on a flowing white robe very ill defined.

It slowly seemed to be ascending from a position about where my loins would be, I was not afraid, but fascinated, it dropped back and then began to rise again, then slowly dissipated, my eyes were closed the whole time from start of the proceedings to the end, so possibly I saw it in the minds eye.

There was nothing else, I tried to send energy, I don't know how I do it, but sometimes I can, from somewhere in my forehead, I send heat and warmth down through my body I do it especially if my feet get cold, and last night I set my mind to try and radiate this outwards, whether it does I have no idea, nor where it goes.

I waited until late last night about twenty to twelve, then tried to assume the Lotus, I find this very difficult, as I am rather over weight, but I sat with my back against the head board and got my legs into almost a half lotus. My hands were on my thighs palm upper most.

A blue candle was glowing in the corner, I watched it for a long time, some times if I concentrate, I can make the flame increase and decrease, I didn't do it this time.

At first there was nothing, I can only say that I THOUGHT I felt a funny tingling in my hands, there was nothing in the room, save myself and the candle.

Placing my hands over my eyes I waited, nothing, then I think I saw an EYE, yes a single eye, very faint set in a light grey background, then two, this all faded away. I am not sure of any of this, I must be very weak at doing this, or out of practice from before, then I got a White face, I mean white, but not a brilliant white a much paler shade, just the outline, the eyes and a mouth, then it faded away, and there was nothing else, I got an odd flash of white off to the side of my vision, but I couldn't hold onto it, funny distorted odd shapes occasionally, then after about ten minutes I became tired. I opened my eyes. I got up, extinguished the candle and went to sleep.

What time were you doing the work on Sunday the 11th? I had the strangest sensation that day of being stretched. very very very far. It was quite odd.

Before you ask, I'm going to tell you. It's kundalini time! Not that for the past 3 years I haven't been opening up the kundalini and dealing with it, and opening more, and more....

Yesterday though, on a list a flurry of messages came out on K, and right in the middle pop, zing, pow, and I was getting clear messages on my own work with chakras and K. as I work with others in chakra activation, and on my life mission big time!

So, along come the flu symptoms... :) nice easy way for the body to say, hello, vibrational changes, let's take it easy while it's going through :) hahaha...

I went to my room, Sat eve, and did my meditation. In deep meditation I find self on a bier, this seems to be my spot. I did get the messages of new thoughts . Androgenous was very evident They chose not to transfer me . I got the idea that pyramids were not for the dead ,and not for the keeping of the physical body .Enoch is such a source of wisdom for me, He is a joy in spirit, bram, Seth I combine. don't like to put names on sources, t becomes untruth. Names put me inside the physical, which helps me in balance. Perhaps they leave a tarnish,that allows me to walk the earth.

Life 5 or 6 hours east of Virginia. Could make no preparations, have been working through karma and temporarily need both hands for crutches and the mind and even breath has been shallow or closed. But it is a passing state - like driving through heavy fog.

Sensed something light if hesitant in the air during an eventful Saturday. Went to bed at 10 o´clock and tried to concentrate on the Pleiadians and Isis - their being and quality. Quite suddenly someone said four. I knew Claire said four keys - not corners - but they brought out a very dark blue, square cloth with diagonal lines or folds and put me on it for contact and healing.

They woke me up in the middle of the night and measured my vibration and kept on healing and reminding me of former contacts and contracts. The Pleiadian Energy Beings were not big, intangble and enveloped in different atmosphere from ours.

Isis´s energy or what I could understand of it I will not forget. Said she embodied the vibrations of the colour blue and I went in very deep and have been playing with colours since and renewing my personal vigour. The Pleiadians said they lived? or thought? in layers. And more things they showed me - like for a split second the phenomenal kundalini energy of a zig zag portal - like the plates of the earth were moving - so strong it was.

! Had alot of work being done with me Monday night.......experienced such intense energy and sensations that I truly thought that I had crossed completely over to insanity........Even cried and then Dear Char came through for me and gave me a simple reminder.....just ALLOW what needs transforming and releasing..............so I did and handled it all much better......I've no doubt that the energy experienced Sunday played a roll in the activations I was feeling, seemed to help finalize and culminate alot of the work Char and I have been doing for the past few months..........it was intense I can tell you that, still experiencing some of it just not quite as intensely as Monday evening.

Gee Whizzzzzzzzzzzz..............don't blink anymore, this pace is phenomenal. Have some writing to share with you Love, so here goes, have to say first that I think and feel that Merkaba and DNA are pretty synonymous words here, there is.......wait..............it is the DNA that in and of itself is refracting the grid point and creates so to speak the vibrations within each of you.......thus the restructuring of your DNA and the importance of this restructuring for spiritual growth and accession, Your DNA and Merkaba and Grid sector are all extensions of one light that when aligned creates the you that you really are with all..................... OK that just popped out there and might give a little more clarity to the rest of this.......did for me! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))Wow.....just read that......interesting! here goes

Greetings dear light, I AM I AM as the composite, a composite. Have been with you for several weeks and always. There is much being done at this time in Earth's History and make no mistake that you are involved and a part of it. So much is being altered and activated within you now. Do not be fooled into thinking that you are becoming for you already are. What is simply taking place is your conscious remembrance of all that you are, this state of recall, it vibrates at another frequency and what is altered is the resonance needed to receive these memories and reflections without insanity.............as you have heard many times and know in truth, if the physical vehicle is not prepared for higher vibrations it will be destroyed on some level of existence...............Each of you does possess your own Personal Merkaba, this is a significant point, it is important for you to access this within yourselves for the many travels that will and already do take place. Your Merkaba is a unique blend of geometry, unique to you and as individual as expressions....in your particular case dear light your Merkaba is shared by another..............this other you call Char..... this same point that is shared by you two is your personal Merkaba field and it reflects and mirrors your DNA of which you share a single strand together............it is not of importance to understand why this is as to understand how you can both utilize this field that you share...........What is being done is a switch, so to speak, Rather than your point on the grid mirroring you as one, you are crossing over to a new level of vibrations so that it is you as one who mirror the grid. This was your work with the grid, this was your restructuring of your Merkaba and realigning it as you yourselves we're realigned. Once the two, or three as in this case, were balanced and resonating harmoniously, your transformation from reflection to refraction began. It is still occurring now and will continue for some time. Know that your willingness to be light's instrument has propelled you both quickly to this transformation and this process will aid you both in stepping outside of yourselves on many levels to view from the other side of this two way veil, with conscious recollection.....Always remember you share a field, a central point of light and energy and resonance........you have both done extremely well at allowing your field to activate, allowing for the preparatory alterations needed for this activation.......This point and vibration and light that is shared is ever evolving and shifting and growing and you are often asked to grow with it, know that this will intensify as you are now refracting the light of your grid position to all here on Earth and beyond. We see you always , growing brighter, as we have always seen from this side of the mirror, Soon you too will see from this side and recognize the difference, you are feeling it now and as you are conscious of the feelings so too will you be conscious of the sight, Welcome and congratulations dear ones. Many Many Many have interest in your work and thank you dearly for your willingness to be love, always, and for your willingness to innately struggle with the vast unlearning you've endured. Your path is a bright one, The Universe is grateful dear one.

As I understand it within now I think that what is being said is that the alignment of our spiritual DNA with our point on the grid creates and activates the Merkaba? Could be way off here............

During my initial meditation, I called on Isis and she quickly made herself known. I quietened and simply allowed myself to breath Love through my Unified Chakra. Isis then 'crowned' me and drew me into her fields. We merged into a disk of light and it felt like this energy field was so vast it emcompassed the planet in its effect.

That night I dreamt I was in a temple of some kind with you and a number of others. I'm sketchy on the details.

Next morning, Jaraya (an aspect of Osiris) and I were Willed to perform a sexual ritual. I also noted that Set was with us. This ritual was performed in the Temple of Isis in Rome in pre-Christian times. You were the High Priestess at that cross of time. Both Jaraya and I were virgin novices and became at a much later time the High Priest and Priestess. It was very powerful!

Following this, I had a very quick meditation which brought Isis back through me and she stayed with me for the rest of the day... more consciously than is usual, anyway.

Sexual ritual has been 'pushed underground' and so much 'darkness' surrounds it! The mission, Isis and Osiris gave us long ago was to use sexual energy to help transform this darkness and denial in the consensus reality... allow the Light in. We certainly have been through an Initiation into a deeply profound dimension! Thank you for facilitating that powerful opportunity! :-)

BTW, another aspect of the Isis Initiation, my father 'returned' from dementia last week, after I'd wrapped him in a blanket of intense Love gathered into me during the meditation with Isis. It's really incredible! Certainly, a miracle!

I did not have time to tell you, but when you placed the seal on my head a vision of Blessed Mary of the Icon came into my third eye. I can't wait to see what is next!!

I had a beautiful drive home , stopped at the Peak and took a short hike thriough the woods . When I got home I went to bed at 7;00 and slept through till 7 AM !! I sent the Reiki last night though I fell asleep doing it and don't remember. OK , here's my experience :

Aout 14 yeas ago when my son was a baby I was sitting outside on the back steps drinking coffee while he was sleeping . Out of the blue I was given a vision; I was shown that all humanity would be passing through a portal and that I would be one of the first through to help others on their way through . I was told it was a matter of critical mass and that when critical mass occurred then all would move through the portal . Well, at the time I thought that I would go straight to Bliss and from that state help people. wrong. It's been more like going through the jungle blindfolded with a light machete.

For me my experience of sitting in the Temple , I know things that I didn't know before . the first thing is about judgement . As long as we judge anything, we are in duality , and that is a part of us that cannot go through the portal . There is absolutely , positively nothing in this universe on any level , in any experience that is not Love . It is an impossiblity . Every thing is an expression of God , EVERYTHING. Everyone is on a spiritual path, EVERYONE . There is no other possibility . And it is not up to us to judge who is on a spiritual path and who isn't . From the soul's view point we are all on a spiritual path , and there are myriad expressions of what this is . ALL are vital to the plan . All have their place . All are valid . To judge denies that part of ourselves access to moving through the portal , as well as that which we are judge. All is love . I know now that absolutely , positively , beyond a shadow of a doubt that All will be ascending . In chronological time We all will ascend in our own personal moment , unique to our soul's purpose and expression . Outside of time , we will all ascend at the same moment . The moment of ascension is the same for all . And as Isis told us , no one will be left behind . Right now the most important thing we can do is to give up judgement . We can only go through the portal with all our pieces intact , to judge another will only keep that part of ourselves from passing through . The last judgement , don't judge .

Discernment and choice .. Choose your experience . And be discerning . I know now that my work at this time is to hold this energy pattern matrix within me ,this pattern of knowing that all will ascend . So that holding this resonance within me I will plant the seeds of this resonance within all that I come in contact with . So they will know it also. And their moment of ascension will come to them in the highest expression of their soul's purpose . To look at another and , no matter how they may appear to me , know absolutely that they will ascend . To see the perfection of their being and the beauty of their expression .

Something else I wanted to share with you , I was telling friend about sat. night and the Plieadian visit and she looks at me and says , what time was that ? I told her and she proceeds to tell me about how for her at that time she was driving through mountains that she had been in all her life , knew like the back of her hand and kept getting lost . To the point where she realised that something else was going on . She couldn't tell the difference between north and south .The same thing happened to me at the Peaks of Otter , I lost my bearings and actually was driving in circles looking for south ! The area that my friend was in was North of Harrisonburg near where your friend ( his name just dropped though my swiss cheese brain ) saw the activity and it would have been around the same time .There has been a lot of activity reported by many people in that area for a long time .

The main effect I've been feeling as a result of sitting in the pyramid is that my doubts were removed . Those demons are just gone ! And in their place there is a profound sense of Knowing . I Know Absolutely that she is taking care of me now . And I feel it operating in my life .

Going back to the idea of the imprinting of the mother's energy on the crown chakra at the time of birth. Saw what is meant by the virgin birth of Jesus. He was born with the imprint of the christ energy on his crown chakra. Mary carried the pure,virgin energy of The Mother Isis at her root chakra and so therefore that is what was imprinted upon the crown chakra of Jesus. The Christ energy was intact for him anchored in the physical body at birth . So for all these years the symbolism of virgin Mary is as the physical carrier of the pure energy of Isis. She never left us.

I also saw how we are at this time giving up the energetic imprint of our birth mother and recieving the crown chakra imprint of our true Mother. Does it make sense to you? Jesus is on the airwaves today.

I am seeing golden light pour forth from a doorway, it is the doorway into the heart of our soul..... our souls are being guided at this time to merge more with us........

The sirians are here as guides of discipline at this time, to maintain our focus on this process....... it takes great discipline to become a Spiritual warrior......

Adeious is here, he is a commander of the light ship Tron... Tron is the ship we train in during our sleep time. It is the ship that many gather too....... for those still needing a physical object to relate too..... it is place that is not a place, it is a ship that is not a ship..... it has several purposes but for now training is all we need to know...

He is very large, red(fire) hair, green eyes, like emeralds.... in his heart center is a huge emerald sparkling..... sending out rays of green energy...... which are now surrounded by pink energy....

the overall extent of this being ranges from this planet to beyond the void..... the void being beyond the 12 dimension...... his energy ranges through all these dimensions and beyond..........

he is one of the new Arch Angels here to assist, the others are called Faith and Glory, they are named that for a great reason...... which will be known to a certain few within the Sirian force's here on earth.....

The key to this portal is soul light! see it shining from your heart centers, in golden light, and emerald green...... see these two energies surrounded you and engulf you in their beingness....... and breath it in........ this is soul energy and blueprint you are breathing in......... and within the soul energy are the keys many have been waiting for........ the keys to their divine mission ........

I AM ADEIOUS
HIGH COMMANDER OF TRON.
ARCH ANGEL OF TRANSFORMATION.
p.s. not sure of his spelling....

Well Claire there you go, when you started talking of the Sirians, I could feel them gather, I have been remiss lately and have only been dealing with the Pleiadians, and so they were sending me a wake call...... message received loud and clear......... :-))

They have allowed me that time to deal with emotions and other 3d matters, that needed my full attention, but are being guided back to the realm of light and discipline again......

this morning I dreamed of the Orion constellation, it was flashing like one portion would flash then another till all of it had lit up etc...... then it would start over again...... I was not worried about it, thought it was odd during the dream, but nothing really bizzar.... just wondering what is in the Orion area that is important.....

Claire another thing I forgot to mention is a chant saturday that just came to my mouth and I caanted it numerous times as I was guided to do so Similar to, I remembered it like it was like a part of me and sunday I couldn`t get it to come out....something like (ananakaten....) similar but not exactly,I hope you can make sense of this this happened in the evening before the presence of The Plaidians....

Hi Claire - just a brief note. i'm having trouble with time limits and keeping up with the interesting things I'm getting from you. Wasn't able to participate in anything you mentioned in your first note or two, but on Sunday evening, Oct. 10, between 9 and 10 pst,I was "grabbed" by an energy I couldn't ignore (and didn't want to) and I had to stop what I was doing and listen. I heard "we are the Pleiadians", and I just let them do as much as possible to move out my emotionals blocks. Thank you. I may not have been so open to this if I hadn't heard from you and invited them myself.

My sincere apologies at not answering sooner since the meditation ive been regaining my balance its not unpleasant just taking a little adjustment at first i thought i had forgotten something but soon remembered the disorientation i have felt before when passing through portals this is still with me a week after the meditation and ritual it was interesting that on Saturday afternoon a loud tearing shriek was heard followed by thunder the sound unlike a supersonic jet passing overhead (NZ have nothing this quick) and also in the last week a number of others in my area have experienced the same feeling more a shifting in awareness or dimensions and an increase in (ufo) sightings.

Having lightning strikes? Here is my information on that, from personal experience.

That lightning is portrayed on the tarot card, The Tower, in the Rider-Waite. On the card, the lightning strikes the top of the tower and knocks off the crown. What's happening is, your crown chakra is opening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And in alchemy, the lightning strike is one of the progression markers, so you'll know where you are on the path. If you look at old alchemical drawings from the 12th-18th centuries, you'll see lightning strikes portrayed as part of the Great Work. It's a baptism by fire! Hang in there.

Are you measuring your head lately, lightworker? Sometimes, heads grow when the lightwork begins, when the higher light bodies reside inside the cerebellum and other parts of the brain. But how will you know if your head is growing if you don't measure it? In November of '96, when I first connected with Ganesha, he gave me the project of making myself some hats. Now, I see why he did that. My head has grown 1/2 inch in circumference since then, but if I had not made the hats I wouldn't have known it, because it didn't feel like it was growing. I can pick up a lot of signals, now. What about you?
