The Great Shift Has Begun

This Revelation was received on the Winter Solstice of 2006
and finally shared with the world on Enlightenment Day 2007


The message that came to my heart for all of us to receive, dear sisters and brothers, is that it is time. The moment we have
been waiting for, preparing for, has come. The Great Shift has begun … a shift from sectarian self-interest to global
awareness … a shift from dogmatic beliefs to spiritual experience … a shift from religious entertainment to divine
empowerment … a shift from false individual salvation to true collective enlightenment.

And this Great Shift will increase and expand until it culminates on the Winter Solstice of 2012, after which there will begin
a great opportunity for Global Awakening in 2013 and beyond. It is not that every person will become enlightened at that
time, but that enough of us will — enough to re-direct the course of history to come — toward a planetary awareness of
our Oneness, toward a Global Awakening to universal wisdom, love and true power.

These next six years are our opportunity to prepare ourselves and our world for this Global Awakening. These next six
years are like the six years of Siddhartha Gautama's search for the transformation of suffering at age 29, culminating in his
becoming the Buddha, the Enlightened One, at age 35 — on a global scale. These next six years are like the symbolic Six
Days of Creation culminating in the Sabbath of rest, but this time as a New Creation culminating in the Great Work of
planetary transformation.

Every religion, every spiritual path, is being called now to align itself with the Great Shift, to support this Global Awakening.
There is much in every religion that must be shed during the Great Shift. Every spiritual path worth being called a spiritual
path is invited now to find the core essence of its gift to the world and let that shine without the obscurations of what is not
its core essence.

This admonition is loving but firm. Any religion or spiritual path which chooses merely to make superficial, cosmetic
changes to its outer presentation, rather than to do the deep inner work of total transformation, will share a similar fate with
those who find themselves re-arranging furniture on a sinking ship. What is called for now is not mere religious reform, but
true transformation, a radical and revolutionary shift in spiritual consciousness.

There will be some who will distort the significance of 2012. These are ones who will take the ray of Revelation that they
stumble upon and refract it through a narrow, limited and unrefined mind, bringing interpretations of doom, disaster and
damnation. Literalism, fundamentalism and extremism have no place in this Revelation. The purity, the truth of this
Revelation is available to everyone, but it needs to be received by minds and hearts purified through meditation, consistent
spiritual practice and communal harmony. Otherwise, instead of a message of an inner revolution, what we will hear of are
forecasts of outer calamity, cataclysm and chaos which are not at all the main import of this Revelation. This is a spiritual
wake-up call, not a prophecy of the end of the world. Yes, there will be strange and dramatic events occurring in Nature,
and they will increase in frequency, but they are only signs of Earth's compassion toward us, urging us to pay attention to
what is really going on in our world right now. The signs are all around us, and Gaia will continue to help us shift our
priorities.

There are, symbolically, twelve main spiritual Paths which are available to us now to follow, practice and support (the
number twelve is a biblical allusion and is symbolic of "unity-in-diversity"). It is time to find one of the main Paths and align
ourselves with it fully and deeply, completely committed to the One Path of Truth, Goodness and Beauty. And we must not
presume that we are really practicing a Path simply because we attend church, synagogue or temple for an hour once a
week. We must not think that sitting in a restaurant, singing songs about the menu, listening to sermons about the cuisine,
and engaging in nice small talk with the wait staff is at all the same as eating the food there and truly and deeply receiving its
nourishment.

The time for religious window-shopping and spiritual dabbling is coming to a close. The time of following lesser sub-paths
is no longer appropriate. This is the time for listening deeply to the Heart and finding one of the main true spiritual paths and
devoting ourselves fully to that practice. It is time to open our eyes to the genuine teachers and paths that are truly available
and deserving of devotion and support. We are to leave behind forever our obsession with those lesser teachers and sub-
paths which now will only distract us from the Great Shift and Global Awakening that are at hand before us.

How will we know which teacher and path to follow, you ask? It is not for me or anyone else to tell you who and what to
follow. Your heart will guide you if only you will truly and deeply honor the truth of your own Heart. Any genuine teacher
and path would tell you the same. And if they do not, then have you cause to doubt their genuineness and purity.

Listen, listen. Brothers and sisters of every religion, if we seek within our heart, we will surely hear the Voice of Divine
guidance. There is a message from Heaven for each religion. Let us not allow it to go unheard. Within the essential
messages, myths, metaphors and meanings of the world's sacred scriptures are the six or seven essential practices we are
to study, follow and share, as we prepare in this Great Shift for the Global Awakening. Since Buddhism will be playing one
of the major roles in this Global Awakening, we have been offered the "Six Paramitas" from that tradition as an example
(Generosity, Discipline, Forbearance, Energy, Meditation, and Wisdom). However, it is up to those in each religion to listen
to Heaven's Voice within the Heart and to find for themselves what are the six or seven practices in their own tradition for
just such a time as this.


There is more to this Revelation.
What has been shared so far is sufficient for now.
Listen to the Voice within your Heart, and you will know.
Seek and you will find, ask and it will be given, knock and the door will be opened.
The time is at hand.
The time is now.

"It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may
take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and lovingkindness, a
community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as
a nation. … For a future to be possible, our enlightenment must be collective."

29 languages and reach out to over one hundred countries throughout the world.

Drunvalo also founded the Flower of Life Workshops with over 300 trained and certified
facilitators teaching in over sixty countries.

He is the Editor-in-Chief of the international Internet magazine, Spirit of Ma’at, http://www.

Drunvalo is a world traveler and has given workshops, seminars and lectures on sacred
geometry, human energy fields, spirituality, meditation and living in the heart in 45 countries.

His meditation with the angels and his work with prana and energy healing has helped tens of
thousands of people. Drunvalo has expressed that healing in these areas are of extreme
importance for the difficulties with one's own body often stops us from continuing on our
spiritual path. His research on the 3rd dimension with natural products and methods to help
heal Mother Earth and all life forms is also a major focus in his life.

Though written long ago, here is an excerpt about Drunvalo’s life from his first two books, the
Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Volume I and II.

I majored in physics and minored in mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley
until I was just about to receive my diploma. I only needed one more quarter to graduate. I
decided I didn't want the degree because I discovered something about physicists themselves
that turned me off to the idea of becoming involved in a science that I realized was no science
at all. This in itself could be a book, but the 'why' of it is related to the same subject that we
talk about with archeologists. Physicists, just like archeologists, will turn their heads to the Truth
if it means too much of a change too fast. Perhaps the real truth is that this is human nature. So
I switched to the other side of my brain and started majoring in fine arts. My counselors
thought I was nuts. "You're going to give up a physics degree?" they asked. But I didn't need it,
didn't want it. Then to graduate I had to go for two more years majoring in fine arts. Finally, I
was in my last quarter before getting my degree in fine arts, thinking "I don't know if I can do
this. I'm so tired. I just can hardly handle this."

Then Kent State happened. The whole school system across the United States closed down,
and they gave all the students straight Bs and let them go. So I got my fine arts degree without
having to finish the last little bit.

My changing majors makes sense now, because when you study the ancient writings, you find
out that the people of the time perceived art, science and religion as being interwoven,
interconnected. So the programming that I was putting myself through was appropriate for
what I'm doing now.

Moving to Canada

I got my degree in 1970. Then, after being in Viet Nam and looking at what was happening in
our country at that time, I finally said, "I've had it! This is it! I don't know how long I'm going to
live or what's going to happen, but I'm just going to be happy and do what I've always wanted
to do. "And I decided to get away from everything and go live in the mountains, like I had
always wanted to do.

So I left the United States and went to Canada, not knowing there would be ten of thousands
of Vietnam war protesters following me a year later. I married a woman named Renee and the
two of us went way back into the middle of nowhere, and found a little house on a lake called
Kootenay Lake. We were a long way away from anything. You had to walk four miles from
the nearest road to get to my house. So we were really isolated. And I began to live my life
exactly like I had always wanted to live. I had always wanted to see if I could live on nothing;
so I gave it a try.

It was a little scary at first, but it got easier as time went on, and pretty soon I became adept at
natural living. I lived a wonderful and full life on basically no money. After a while I realized,
hey, this is a lot easier than holding a job in a city! I only had to work hard for about three
hours a day, then I had the rest of the time off. It was great. I could play music and run around
and have a good ol' time. And that's exactly what I did. I had fun. I played music about ten
hours a day, with lots of friends who came from miles around. Our place had gained quite a
reputation by then. An average of about eleven people per day showed up to play music and
enjoy — and we just had fun.

And in this act, which is very important to my understanding now, I discovered something
about myself. It was from this — returning to my inner child is how I phrase it these days —
that my inner child was released, and in that releasing, something happened to me, which was
the catalyst that led into my life as it is today.

Meeting the Angels

While in Vancouver, my wife and I decided we wanted to know about meditation, so we
started studying with a Hindu teacher who lived in the area. We were very serious in wanting to
understand what meditation was about. We had made white silk robes with hoods and were
very serious about this new endeavor we had begun.

Then, one day, after practicing meditation for about four or five months, two tall angels about
ten feet high appeared in our room! They were right there. One was green and one was purple.
We could see through their transparent bodies, but they were definitely there. We did not
expect this appearance to take place. We were just following the instructions that our Hindu
teacher was giving us. I don't believe he fully understood as he kept asking us many questions
and he didn't seem to understand either. From that moment on, my life was never the same. It
wasn't even close.

The first words the angels said were, "We are you." I had no idea what they meant. I said,
"You're me?" Then, slowly they began to teach me various things about myself and the world,
and about the nature of consciousness ... until finally my heart just completely opened to them. I
could feel tremendous love from them which totally changed my life.

Over a period of many years, they led me to about seventy different teachers. They would
actually tell me the address and the phone number of the teacher I was to go see. They would
tell me either to call first or just show up at his or her house. So I would do this — and it would
always be the right person! Then I would be instructed to stay with that person for a certain
length of time.

Sometimes, right in the middle of a particular teaching, the angels would say, "Okay, you're
done. Leave."I remember when they sent me to Ram Dass. I hung out in his house for about
three days wondering what the heck I was doing there; then one day I went to touch him on the
shoulder to say something and I got a zap that practically knocked me on the floor. And that
was it — the angels said, "That's it. "You can leave now." And I said, "Okay." Ram Dass and I
became friends, but whatever I was supposed to learn from him was over within that one
second.

The teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, Ram Dass's teacher, are very important to me. It was his
belief that "the best form to see God is in every form". I've also been exposed to Yogananda's
work and cherish who he was. And later we'll be talking about Sri Yukteswar and some of his
work. I've been intensely involved in almost all the major religions. I've resisted the Sikhs,
because I do not believe that military preparation is necessary, but I've studied and practiced
almost all the rest of them, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist. I've deeply
studied Taoism & Sufism — spent eleven years with Sufism. Through all this, the most
powerful teachers for me, however, have been the Native American Indians. It was the Indians
who opened the doorway for all my spiritual growth to take place. They've been a very
powerful influence in my life.

All the world's religions are speaking of the same Reality. They have different words, different
concepts and ideas, but there's really only one Reality, and there's only one Spirit moving
through all life. There might be different techniques to get there, but there's only that is real, and
when you're there you know it. Whatever you want to call it — you can give it different names
— it's all the same thing.
Living In The Heart &
Earth/Sky Workshop

You are One with the Creator of
this universe, and you always have
been. There never has been a time
when you were not One, and there
never will be a time when this is
not true.

Because you are One with the
Creator, you, and I mean you
personally, can change the world
and bring peace and beauty to this
entire planet. But you must change
yourself first. You simply have to
remember who you were before you
fell into this very dark place.

This workshop combines both of
the previous workshops into one.
The purpose is to give all of the
information and knowledge of the
human energy field, the
MER-KA-BA, the missing
information around the BEAMS
OF LIGHT coming from the pineal
gland, and the instructions of how
both of these human energy fields
are intimately linked to the
SACRED SPACE OF THE HEART,
the place of creation. The place
where all new worlds are born.

Once this information is practiced
in unison, a new Earth emerges
from one's inner vision. A way of
seeing where this outer world that
seems so chaotic and crazy, begins
to recreate itself from deep within
your own heart by a dreaming
process long, long forgotten.

Together, we will remember. Fear
will turn to love. Hope will emerge
out of desperation. And the World
can have a second chance, if only
you care enough to reveal the truth
of who you really are.

If you believe you are supposed to
be at this gathering, I would be
honored to help you to remember
your intimate connection to God.


From my Heart,

Himalayan Crystal Skulls



WISDOM STONES REVEAL THEIR COSMIC MYSTERIES
INTRODUCING THE DROPAS


In 1938, high in the mountains of BayanKara-Ula on the borders of China and Tibet, a team
of archaeologists were conducting a very detailed routine survey of a series of interlocking
caves when they were surprised to discover lines of neatly arranged graves which contained
the skeletons of what appeared to have been a race of human beings. The skeletons,
measuring a little more than four feet tall, were frail and spindly with disproportionately large
skulls.  Drawn on the walls of the caves were crude pictures of the rising Sun, the Moon,
unidentifiable stars, and the earth, all joined together by lines of pea-sized dots. The cave
drawings are dated around 12,000 years ago.

While studying the skeletons, one of the members of the team stumbled upon a large round
stone disc half buried in the dust on the floor of the cave. The disk was approximately nine
inches in diameter and three-quarters of an inch thick. In the exact center was a perfectly
round, 3/4" hole, and etched in its face was a fine groove spiraling out from the center to the
rim, making the disk resemble some kind of primitive phonograph record.

This one plate, dated to be between 10,000 and 12,000 years old -- older by far than the
great pyramids of Egypt -- was fantastic enough, but the wonder was multiplied when 716
such plates were found!  Each held an incredible secret. The groove, upon further inspection,
was not a groove at all, but a continuous line of strange carved hieroglyphics -- writing!

The tiny, almost microscopic characters were in a language never encountered before. It
wasn't until 1962 that another Chinese professor, Dr. Tsum Um Nui, was able to decode the
message of the stone plates.  The writing was so small that he had to use a magnifying glass to
see it clearly, and much of the hieroglyphics were difficult to make out or had been worn away
by time and the elements. The professor painstakingly transcribed the characters from the disk
to paper.

Once the characters were transcribed, Dr. Tsum Um Nui began the arduous task of trying to
decode its message.  Eventually, he began to make progress.  A word emerged. Then
another. A phrase became understandable, then an entire sentence. He had broken the code.  
He discerned that the messages on the stones were written by a people who called themselves
the Dropa. When he had completed the translation as much as he could, the professor sat
back in his chair in disbelief. The story the Dropa related was nothing short of astounding.

The Dropa disks tell the story of a space probe from a distant planet that crash-landed in the
Baian-Kara-Ula mountains of the Himalayas. The occupants of the spacecraft - the Dropa -
found refuge in the caves of the mountains. Despite their peaceful intentions, the Dropa were
misunderstood by members of the Han tribe who were occupying neighboring caves and who
hunted down the aliens and even killed some of them. A translation of one of the passages
says: "The Dropa came down from the clouds in their aircraft. Our men, women, and children
hid in the caves ten times before sunrise." When at last the Han understood the sign language
of the Dropa, they realized that the newcomers had peaceful intentions.

The stones go on to say how the Dropa were unable to repair their disabled spacecraft and
could not return to their home planet, and so were stranded on Earth. If that's true, have their
descendents survived? Today, the isolated area is inhabited by two tribes of people who, in
fact, call themselves the Dropa and the Han.  Anthropologists have been unable to categorize
either tribe into any other known race; they are neither Chinese nor Tibetan. Both tribes are of
pygmy stature, adults measuring between 3-foot-6 and 4-foot-7 with an average height of
4-foot-2, and body weights of 38 to 52 pounds.  The Dropa stones may represent the first
recorded visit of an alien civilization to our planet.

In Russia several of the rock were tested. The discs were found to contain large amounts of
cobalt and other metallic substances. When placed on a special turntable they vibrated or
hummed in an unusual rhythm as though an electric charge was passing through them. It is as if
they formed some part of an electrical circuit.


THE HIMALAYAN CRYSTAL SKULLS

The anonymous discoverer of these Ancient crystal skulls spent 2-years  retrieving 22 ancient
crystal skulls, collectively known as THE HIMALAYAN SKULLS
, which he feels are
linked to the Dropa. Also recovered were two Dropa disks from the same cave wherein he
found one of the crystal skulls.  The discoverer has been an artifacts collector for over 30
years. He says, "I am of the opinion now that the crystal skulls were used by the Dropa as
radio transmitters/receivers to communicate with their home base, which could be many light
years away from this planet, as well as to communicate with their mates who had also landed
elsewhere on this planet. The stone disks were the ancient computer disks to record and save
messages sent or received. The skull and the stone disk must work together to be effective
just like our computers today. Without software our computer today is a dead machine. From
the spiritual angle the skull and the stone disk will open up a new portal which will enhance the
working of spiritualists.
