| In solidarity with the monks in Burma, ChiSing www.InterMindful.com 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. — a brother "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."

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, Drunvalo Melchizedek |

| 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. story of how he came about these precious artifacts.
