Virtual Satsang - updated July, 2010


Please Join Us between July 17-19 for the Conscious Convergence weekend - as the World Peace Ashram/Desert Monastery & Retreat in Concho/Hunt, AZ, holds special events to immerse us in the unfolding of the 'end of Time as we have known it,' in the very real and unavoidable transformation of human consciousness!

The Conscious Convergence is the term given by Carl Calleman to the date in the Gregorian calendar that reflects the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, in that both dates/events create a harmonic or resonance with the in-coming cycle. For the Harmonic Convergence, the new cycle coming up in 1999 was called the Galactic. And indeed, during the past 12 years we have become far more aware of ourselves as part of a relatively small solar system, located in the galaxy we call the Milky Way, that it is made up of billions of planets, stars and other suns, giving us a concept of just how immense it all IS, and cosmically speaking how tiny a part we each play in it; yet each being a note-worthy part. Think back through the changes and challenges you have seen in the 10 years since 'Y2k' possibilities caught the attention of the modern world – that already seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?

For this upcoming Conscious Convergence, the possibilities are greater because all the energies behind the new cycle are higher. Called the Universal cycle, we are moving into awareness of ourselves as existing among many galaxies, in an ever-expanding Universe of things that reach far beyond anything we have directly experienced as physical bodies and far beyond the imagining of most persons. We will take into our mental sphere the realities of inter-dimensional beings, from elementals and angels to the inhabitants of other worlds and dimensions higher than our dense 3-D physicality. We will become more transparent, both emotionally (our thoughts will not be so hidden nor invisible) and physically – we will likely become less dense, more light-filled and radiant, and more capable of moving our future carcasses (more like sheaths, then) around without the use of machines that combustion-burn refined petrochemicals.

Don't believe what you have been shown on television and movie screens, in video games and sci-fi novels for several generations – what is true has hardly ever been portrayed! What has been shown has been filtered through our limited imaginations and our fears, and display our adolescent sense of self-importance and centrality to all of existence – such arrogance from ignorance! What is true is that we are on the lower half of a continuum of conscious lifeforms and densities, and since we are such complex and incredible creations, imagine for a moment what we will be like when we rise to new heights and breadth of possibility! And we will realize that millions of others are indeed already living in lighter-density existences – what else do you think accounts for 'flying objects' in our skies [from worlds further than we have ever traveled with our current knowledge of physics and level of sophistication]? Who or what makes crop circles? What happens to our consciousness when we leave this body – nothing is destroyed, we have learned, so the energy of what we 'are' goes to or exists some-where, we just can't detect it with our dense/material eyes, thoughts and machines. Yet most human beings have personal experience with non-corporeal entities – ask around! Remember childhood!

During the Conscious Convergence, we are invited to turn our attention to creating and experiencing a sense of Unity with all Life, or Oneness consciousness, is the basic target of the contemplations, activities and discussions. We share this one planet, which we have used like 'dirt' for our own purposes and goals, while yet depending upon its natural resources to feed and house, nourish and sustain, entertain and support us, and that has proved unwise and short-sighted.

What are we asking you to do that weekend? Merely, but firmly this: to spend time – 10 minutes every hour, 30 minutes each morning, an hour at dawn, noon, sunset, and midnight, whatever feels right – in sincere contemplation of the world that you know, and the world you would like to see unfold, the highest and most remarkable fantasy of an Eden, paradise or Heaven-world you can imagine. Actively 'See' in your mind & heart how life would change when there is no more war, no famine or starvation, no greed and taking advantage of others, but true peace, true harmony between all persons, true communion between Man and Nature. No one's version of all this but your own, not what you should imagine or what you were told the future holds... then realize that there are millions of people across the world doing the same, and that all the visions will come true in some way, concurrently, without difficulty.

See Mankind 'becoming' more of its true nature, leaving the 3-d 'growth & development at any cost' kind of thinking in the dust of an old way of thinking, like your grandfather's education, and morphing into a community of all life where all are equally-respected and cared for, and there is great freedom to express your creativity, manifest your deepest desires and hoped-for dreams. Sit with these images and ideas for a while, journal them perhaps... You are an architect of the world to come; what will you build?

Has it yet occurred to any of us that the purpose & meaning behind the BP oil incident off the Louisiana coast is in part a call to spiritual intention and action by humanity, concerned for the beautiful Gulf water and the animals, as well as each person and family directly and indirectly affected? Do we require a still larger threat in order for us all to send our loving attention and heart-centered healing vibes (prayers) to the region experiencing suffering, and to Mother Earth and all her living manifestations?

Can you see that you are playing a role in this event: whether you ignore and display disinterest, or rant and get angry, or find the middle ground – igniting concern and compassion, which motivates you to send forth your thoughts, emotions & feelings tuned to the positive relief of all harm, co-creating a 'most benevolent outcome' for all concerned, trusting that a higher good will work out the details and you need not concern yourself/worry over these, but just Love...

Are you personally willing to actively take part in the energetic solution, rather than wait & expect that 'someone else' ['the ETs will save us' is a popular notion] will take all the responsibility and do the 'work' needed? Know that participation doesn't have to be physical, or financial... holding a positive vision, sending a situation love, feeling compassion... these are what really matter for the present moment.
