Keys for Embracing a New Paradigm of Univeral Peace

Pranananda

I had the great fortune of being Pranananda's driver during the week that he came to the Bay Area for the events my friends organized for him. We had an amazing time and it was great to be able to learn from a fully realized Master in the physical. I am used to just working with Masters on the inner planes, so this was a nice change. The blessings that poured forth from these events where truly life changing for all involved. I highly recommend working with Pranananda. I saw him in my dreams almost every night, as did many other people who were at the retreat. He was always there as a loving presence offering guidence and healing energy. Here are a few pictures from the public darshan at Open Secret Bookstore.





Rainbows at Burning Man

On Friday after a dust storm, the citizens of Black Rock City witnessed one of the most awesome and beautiful double rainbows that anyone had ever seen. You can see in one of the close ups all of the extra colors that appeared under the main rainbow. Hope these don't take to long to load for those of you that have a slow connection, but it is worth it! The playa only gets about 2 inches of rain per year, which is part of what made this even more extraordinary. It was a unifying event that the whole city felt and will be celebrated in our memories forever.










The Temple of Forgiveness, which we burned on Sunday night.


The total lunar eclipse, that was also a very unifying event for the consciousness of the city this year.

Married to Unconditional Love

Dreamed that I got married to myself. I gave myself a ring and promised to love and honor myself.
It was a powerful ceremony in which I realigned with the unconditional love and honor of the higherself.
It seemed like this was the perfect way to balance what remained of all the emotional lessons from past relationships
that had recently come to completion.

Right now I feel open hearted, free, and clear. No emotional baggage. I am able to be in the most vulnerable place
in my heart without any fear. This was how I felt when I went to Burning Man where I experienced a total reconnection
to the goddess within my heart. Burning Man has a way of initiating you into the next level of yourself. I am in love
with love!

Reality 3.1D!!!

Dear Friends,

Throughout the evening of August 21st, and through the night, the Earth was undergoing a major vibrational shift. Sometime during the night Spirit informed me that we had shifted from 3D to 3.1D. That is, we have moved a tenth of the way closer to the 4th dimension in terms of density.

To put this in context, it has been almost a year since we crossed the threshold energetically that would allow us to begin to expand vibrationally to make such a density shift. This is big news! The world is holding a whole new level of light now that will begin to make all of the darkness and duality more visible in the presence of an increasing vibration of oneness. This shift has connected us with a new space of holographic unity that is just slightly outside of the construct of the dualistic 3D linear time reality.

Immediately after this shift, I was contacted by an advanced human civilization that lives in the Earth's oceans, who informed me that we are well on our way to reconnecting with them fully in unity consciousness. These beings are something like 3.5D and have been watching us and awaiting the time when this reconnection would take place so they could transfer back to us all of the ancient knowledge and memory they have been holding.

They are also preparing to make a leap with us much higher on the scale of vibration. Our realities will intersect just in the moment when we will be ready to receive from the awareness they hold. They spoke of a number of pieces of land that the Earth holds at a higher density, that would seem to appear out of nowhere when we make more of these density shifts, and how this would astound the scientific community.

These advanced human beings demonstrated a deep love that I felt in my heart. They are longing to reconnect with us and for us to remember them as a part of the human family. They have been there all along, but have remained invisible because of being at a slightly higher vibration.

I had no idea that the planetary ascension process would happen in quite this way, but as it turns out I will be able to give you updates now related to these incremental shifts. I can't wait until Reality 3.2D! I can tell that my body is able to hold a great deal more light. It feels amazing!

I welcome your feedback.
Love and Light,
Michael

The Gift of Pranananda

Special Bay Area Events
Sept. 5, 7, 8, 9, 2007

Dear Friends,

I am writing to connect you with the spiritual presence of a Master that has recently appeared in my life.
Louix Dor Dempriey, also know as Bhagavan Sri Pranananda, has revealed himself to me as a teacher
and friend from many lives. Nearly ten years ago, Pranananda gave me a reading in which he predicted
many of the things that are unfolding in my life today. Very synchronistically on the month that these
predictions began to come true, he came back into my life when a friend asked me to cocreate an event
for Pranananda in the Bay Area.

Though I have not seen him in a decade, since I aligned with helping to produce this event, his spiritual
presence has been with me in a powerful way. The experiences I have had with him are profound! For
those of you who have the means to come to the retreat or special evening in Marin, I am writing to share
this opportunity, but for those of you that cannot make it, I am writing to connect you with Pranananda as
a spiritual guide. All of us working on this event have been having profound transmissions of love from his
spiritual presence. I hope that more people will discover this beautiful frequency within the web of the unified
field that we are all emerging into.

Just before I left for the journey to Iran, Pranananda appeared to me in a vision and breathed into me the living
memory of 12 Tibetan Buddhist incarnations of mine that are part of my genetic lineage on my father's side.
This happened all at once, and I awoke that morning with a high level of Buddhic consciousness. I have not
been the same since. Pranananda has also appeared to me many times and done clearing work on me to lift
out old patterns of consciousness that no longer serve me through divine grace. This has been an incredible
boost to my spiritual path and I am deeply grateful.

His presence appears ever so soft, loving and respectful of the consciousness of the individual, even as he is
lifting me more into the group consciousness of all the Masters and clearing what remains of the ego. He seems
to be playing a major role at this time in preparing those who are going to be stepping forward as emissaries and
guides on a larger scale. He is very much an overlighting Christ presence in my life at this point, and the Masters
said we would be working closely for a time. I invite all of you to share in the blessing of his presence by inviting
him into your life, and for those of you that can come to the Bay Area events, they promise to be a time of accelerated
transformation.

He will be offering an Introductory Night with public darshan (personal blessing) at Open Secret Bookstore in San Rafael
on Wednesday, September 5th and then a 3-Day Residential Retreat at The Institute of Noetic Sciences during September
7 - 9.  Mirabai & Friends will be offering Devotional Singing on Wednesday and Karma Moffett will be offering a 1-Hour
Tibetan Bowl Ceremony on Saturday Evening of the retreat. 

If you have friends in the Bay Area, please forward this to them and help us spread the word. I hope I can meet some
of you at one of these events. I will be helping to film a documentary about Pranananda's visit. Here is the link to the
events on his website  click here

I hope some of you can make it. He doesn't offer such retreats very often, so this is a rare opportunity.
Blessings and Peace,
Michael

Report on Fire the Grid

Dear Friends,

Judging from the buildup of psychic energy I sensed in the days leading up to the global "Fire the Grid" meditation, I knew that the event would be powerful enough that I didn't even set an alarm to wake me
up at 4:11am to participate. I decided to let the energy of the event wake me up so that I could get more of an impression psychically of the event from an out of body state.

When the event started it felt as if the Earth was trembling and vibrating mildly. I heard a multitude of voices telepathically invoking divine energy. It was like listening to psychic echoes bouncing around the inside of a global sphere of human consciousness. In particular I felt people in Alaska calling for support for the land and asking for protection during the climate shift. It felt like there were issues related to this in people's awareness there that I am not familiar with here in California. I never thought that the telepathy of a nearby group would seem more present to me than those gathered far away, but Alaska was definitely very loud from here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

One thing that I felt was that a lot of people were invoking the psychic children and calling upon them to collectively cause a shift in certain ways. I didn't get specifically what so many people were calling for them to do, but I felt the energy of it. I did not feel that such an invocation was 100% aligned with Divine Will. It is not that there was anything wrong with this, it is just that the collective of the psychic children are more consciously aligned with Divine Will than much of the adult population that was invoking them. The children have their own guidence and don't need adults to direct them how to use their combined talents to shift energy when an opportunity presents itself. I talked to the mother of a psychic 7 year old girl about "Fire the Grid" and when she asked her daughter about it the girl replied that there were posters all over angel world about the event and the angels were very excited.

There is a higher potential in terms of working with these advanced younger souls. There is no reason to separate the psychic children in one's thoughts from anyone else participating in the meditation. There are people with these advanced abilities at all ages who are holding space within the psychic web and yet there is no reason to single anyone out. We are all one. We are all working in unison as directed by each one's inner guidance from a higher more egoless level of us.

It would make more sense to hold a focus that amplifies divine love and light instead of calling upon something that is already present. The key to amplifing the light is to honor, acknowledge, appreciate and praise divine love and light within all. The idea is to make the focus more universal, and to hold a space of equality and unity consciousness that supports the greatest possible expansion of the psychic web that is being held. You can have millions of people invoking energy into their personal space, or you could have millions of people holding space for unity consciousness to expand.

After about ten minutes of listening to the telepathic calls, I sat up in bed and followed a stream of guidance that took me to Africa, where there was a lot of energy focused on the Darfur region. There I joined with a multitude of converging prayerfields that were aligning for the highest possible divine manifestation to occur in that region. We all prayed for the fear to be released from the land and the people, and for abundant healing energy and resources to pour in.

Spirit showed me that as a direct result of these combined prayers, many projects to provide shelter to those who had been displaced would be accelerated. In fact, I saw many such projects all over Africa coming together very quickly and there was a great deal of joy and relief about this. It made me happy to see that so many people would be helped.

The waves of this event reverberated around the world and created a deeper alignment with the upward spiral of conscious evolution that we are now entering. The activities of the forces of love and light have been quickened greatly on the planet, and it seems that this was a very positive event. I hope there will be many more events such as this, and that they will continue to grow larger and become more refined in focus.

Hope this was a helpful or interesting perspective.
Blessings and Love,
Michael

Comments on Fire the Grid

Someone asked me below about Fire the Grid, and this is my response.

Question:
What is your feeling about Fire the Grid?  There is a lot of
controversy around here about the fact that the entity has not identified itself
and that they are using sympathy to garner help See Below;

Answer:
Personally I have not feel guided to promote it, but I understand a lot of people
are, so I thought I would throw in my two cents at the end of that last message
I sent, because I am seeing a real major coming of light into the portals that
is from Metatron and the Divine Feminine, and I thought this would be good
to focus on; not to counter anything else, not to thwart any other intention,
but just to help better qualify people's intentions with the highest potential.
I think that if millions of people are getting together to meditate, I am sure
all our angels and masters will be with us, helping to direct our collective
focus. Besides, there is no way the less than light energies can stop what
is happening. Even if that is what was going on with the original intention
of this activation, it will be turned right around by all of the people out there
participating who are able to work with this opportunity and align with unity
consciousness. I see much more of a reason for the less than light energies to
try and stop this meditation than to promote it. Feels like a lot of old fears and
doubts coming up, though again I honestly am not focused on any potential
negative energy, and haven't looked into it that much. I am impartial. I haven't
felt drawn to it, but I haven't felt repelled either. I am just holding the light.

Hope that helps,
Love,
Michael

Fatima's Light is Here!!

Dear Friends,

The Light is returning through the portals in the Middle East! I have been traveling there out of the body every night and it is time to report to you on what is unfolding there.

About a week ago, I was guided to go into the region of the Arabian Peninsula and Iraq, and to honor the light of Fatima, who was the Prophet Muhammad’s daughter, the wife of Ali the Prophet’s cousin who was my guide during my journey to Iran, and the mother of the lineage of Shia Imams.

What I discovered in the portal was that Fatima’s lightbody was immense and filled with the original feminine light of creation. I began a focus of honoring Fatima’s light, and this caused me to become aligned with and merge with Ali’s lightbody, which was also immense. Ali’s light was playing a supporting role in restoring humanity’s connection to the feminine light of creation through the portals that Fatima embodied. As this honoring deepened, Fatima's light began an enormous expansion!

As their light merged together, it began to expand out and I was able to take this new light and connect it in with the minds of people throughout Iraq who were holding thought patterns of destruction. I found myself visiting men who were planning to be suicide bombers and placing this light in their minds, and it was like diffusing the mental thoughtform of being a bomb. The light of Divine Union is activating peace consciousness!

When I returned from this original journey, I looked her up in Wikipedia and found an interesting quote. Muhammad had prayed that someone would marry Fatima when she came of age who would have the right spiritual qualities to be able to honor who she was. When he asked God if he should let Ali marry her, God said “Oh my Prophet, get the light married to the light, ie get Ali married to Fatima.” This is a confirmation of the vision.

For Ali, there could be no greater honor than being married to the daughter of the Prophet, and through this marriage he honored the light of the Father within her. This is a direct reflection of who she was as a portal keeper in this region. Khadija, Fatima’s mother and Muhammad’s wife, also played an important role in grounding all of their energies.

The original purpose of Islam is found in the relationship between Father of Light and Daughter of Light. Fatima’s lightbody is the key! Every night I have been to the Middle East to check on the progress, and her light is continuing to expand, as this immense body of feminine light is now aligned within the portal with the Father Light of the Great Central Sun. That is what is causing the expansion, and I have received confirmation that Metatron is at work in a big way in this project.

Fatima’s light will have a direct effect on the consciousness, and specifically the nervous system of men, for it will bring the feminine creative intelligence back online in the male nervous system through the feminine light. The presence of this light will entrain the chakras and nervous systems of men with those of women.

The expansion of this feminine light in the Middle East is the greatest event I have yet witnessed in the portals, and the shift it will produce in human consciousness will be immense. Ali told me before I left for Iran, that there would be peace between the Sunnis and Shiites within a year, and the Iraq war would come to an end. It was hard to believe, and yet I saw it in the future clearly. The end of the war is near!

Last night I met with the higherself of Dennis Kucinich and listened to him speaking to a group of souls about what was happening in the Middle East. He spoke emphatically about Fatima’s light, and how the peace she was bringing would lead to great political changes. He proclaimed victory for the Light over war, and echoed the prediction that the war with Iraq would soon come to an end.

He said that because of this, people would feel free to embrace peace candidates throughout the world. As long as we are stuck in perpetual war, people will choose a war candidate, because they will believe they need one to win the war, but with this war coming to an end, people will want to elect people that can maintain the peace.

He also said that because of the end of the war, priorities would shift and that Universal Healthcare would be brought to the United States. It was like a prophecy his higherself was sharing with us, though this is not a condition of him being elected. This is part of America’s destiny, however I have been saying for a while that the tide could turn in his favor suddenly because of the arrival collectively of the peace consciousness he embodies and represents. No matter what happens, he is going to play a major role in shaping the national dialog towards the manifestation of these divine potentials. He is a powerful ally for all of us in DC.

He also commented that the psychological process of creating peace from within and then manifesting peace without has now solidified as a form of group consciousness on the planet, and that more and more people would begin to discover this way and gravitate towards the new paradigm.

What I see when I look at the future is this brilliant light. My vision is clear. We are headed into an upward spiral of conscious evolution where we will experience greater and greater upliftment and expansion as our divinity awakens. Now is the time to celebrate the Victory of the Light! For those of you participating in the Fire the Grid meditation on 7-17-07, let us celebrate the coming of this new feminine light. Call in the Light of Fatima and receive an attunment to it in your meditations.

With Love and Light,
Michael

Picture from Iran

I am hard at work editing footage from the Iran trip. Here is a picture that we used for the FOR website.
We were walking through the streets when we passed by this man. He seemed to brighten up and smile really big when he saw me,
and what followed was a moment of nonverbal heart communication. We both acknowledged each other and received a blessing.
Hopefully I will be able to show you the video of this sometime.

Report on Summer Solstice Activation

On the morning of the Summer Solstice, everything locked into place in the Middle East portals and a new light was born. To explain this further I will need to recap a little of what has happened in the last two weeks and give it a historical context that is both personal and planetary.

The journey to Iran was about going into the Mother portal, matching frequencies and holding space for the masculine to return. I became the masculine within the feminine in this portal, honoring the feminine where she was at. This is when the Flame of Divine Union became more present with me to guide the journey.

A week after returning to the states from Iran, I became present to the story of the masculine in the Iraq portal. This was the Divine Father portal that complemented the Divine Mother portal of Iran. I could feel how my masculine side had shared in the story of the masculine energy in that portal, and the feeling of being abandoned by Divine Father in the fight against the invading energies in that portal. What the masculine didn't realize was that Divine Father's love and support could not reach us because our masculine and feminine were no longer aligned. We are loved as one because we are one.

On a personal level, my own family experience reflected this story of abandonment, but I realized in the context of the story in the portals, that my father has played the exact role I needed him to play so that I could remember and release the memory of feeling abandoned by Divine Father. My father has embodied part of the energy from the portals that I was working on healing.

As I became present to this story of abandonment on my masculine side, I was guided by the Flame of Divine Union to see the Mother in the Father. By doing this, I was able to transmit part of the energy from the Mother portal in Iran back into its proper place in the Father portal of Iraq. First I had take the position of being the masculine within the feminine in the Iran portal, and then I was taking that alignment back into the Father portal to hold the energy of the feminine within the masculine.

The moment I started to transmit the mother energy into the Iraq portal from the Iran portal, I felt the memory of abandonment being lifted. It felt like all of the unresolved feelings in the portal and also in relation to my own father were disolving, and the infinite love and support of Divine Father began to stream back into the portal.

A few nights later, I had a visitation from my father, who is now in Spirit. He acknowledged that the purpose of our earthly relationship had been fulfilled and showed me that he would now be reincarnating in India. He also acknowledged how important my writing was and was excited about the book I am working on because he said it could connect people with the infinite future. This was a big deal for me to receive this kind of acknowledgement from my father. It was definitely a completion for me.

A week later, and this was after I made the trip to Mt. Shasta where I was working to balance the energies of Earth, Mars and Venus in the portals, something fantastic happened. It was the morning of the summer solstice and I was guided to go to the midpoint in the Mother and Father energies in the Middle East portals. From here I was guided to hold the alignment between the masculine and feminine, honoring both and moving a deeply as possible into unconditionality.

There was a moment when the alignment of masculine and feminine locked into place within my chakra system, and within the portals, and a burst of light came forth. I felt a beam of light shine from my heart right up into the heavens from within the Middle East portals, and the other end of the beam when right down into the core of the Earth, connecting all levels of being with the core frequency of the Earth. The beam went right through and connected with the Bay Area. It was as if I was on both sides of the world simultaneously as I was doing the energy work, and this activated a Bridge of Peace between east and west.

This activation transcended the geometric consciousness that allowed people to perceive each other as enemies, and installed the Earth frequency which is spherical. Spherical consciousness is Peace Consciousness! When people live on a plane in their thoughts, it is easy to imagine that the enemy is out there somewhere, but when you think spherically, everyone in the world is within you. Through the core frequency of the Earth, we experience that we are the Earth; a sphere of love that contains everything on it.

Earth centered consciousness is a key to the new paradigm of peace!

Blessings and Peace,
Michael

We Did It!!! Post Iran Journey Update on the Portals

Dear Friends,

The mission in Iran was a great success! I have returned home safely to the Bay Area. This is a preliminary message to summarize the journey before I start to add all of the new content to my blog. I was without an Internet connection much of the journey and there was little time for writing, other than the reports we were submitting to the www.forusa.org website.

After a week and a half of intense inner work, balancing energies in the mother portal of Iran, the Flame of Divine Union appeared within the portal and introduced itself by acknowledging gently, “I created masculine and feminine.” I immediately began a new and more intense level of integration work to align with this opening within the portal and anchor its energy. It was like a new level of consciousness stepping in to guide the next phase of the journey. When the student is ready the teacher appears.

To me, the Flame of Divine Union is the gateway to the 5th Dimension. To pass through this gateway is to merge with the flame and embody the dimension of love it contains. This is the beginning of Ascended Master consciousness. My singular focus is to surrender to the love that is held in that flame.

During my journey, I was overlighted and accompanied by many guides, but the two that seemed most present to me were Joshua David Stone, and Ali ibn Abi Talib who was the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad; revered as the First Imam of the Shia Faith. Both were overseeing the portals in the Middle East.

On the final day of the journey, I witnessed the fulfillment of a Muslim prophecy revealed to me years ago as the original light of Islam was ignited in the city of Qom. This is going to lead to peace between the Sunnis and Shiites as the cycle of conflict that split these two factions comes to completion over the next year. I will explain more in the blog.

On the morning after I arrived in New York City, I was greeted by the presence of the Ascended Masters, and Sai Baba stepped forward and offered congratulations for completing the mission. That night the portal work continued to activate to an even higher level than ever before. What happened in Iran had started a chain reaction!

I felt the Divine Union grid activate and intensify throughout the world. This was the original Divine Union template that was created and anchored during the Golden Age of Egypt in the Ancient Mystery Schools more than 5000 years ago. By realigning the portals in the Middle East to the frequency of Divine Union, it reconnected the planetary grid system with this template from the Ancient Mystery School in simultaneous time. This template was lying dormant in the Giza portal until now.

As the Divine Union grid activated through the portal system, many qualities of energy and divine gifts that were once separated by the male/female polarity began to combine to birth a new frequency. What happened next was mind-blowing!

I found myself traveling throughout the world through my third eye, connecting with crystal, mineral and precious metal veins and deposits throughout the world, activating the frequency of the Galactic Web within them. Because the portals were opening, it made it possible to reconnect all of the galactic frequency holding materials on the planet to the Galactic Web.

For example, gold is found throughout the galaxy, and holds frequency within the Galactic Web, but because of the misalignment in the portals, we have been cut off from experiencing the part of the Unified Field that Earth’s gold potentially anchors. All gold is one, and gold is part of the frequency of the Unified Field. Each step in the activation involved focusing on each vein that was placed before me, and connecting it through my third eye with the structure of the Galactic Web, which opened the frequency of the Web in each vein. I was activating one after another at lightning speed, and within moments I felt the Galactic Web come fully online.

As this occurred, I found that I was able to easily surf the Galactic Web in a way that we had not done since the time of Ancient Egypt. I was able to leap from star system to star system, visiting many of the neighboring stars around ours, and every observation I made was accompanied by a narrative that explained what I was seeing that responded to my inquires. For many years I have traveled out of the body and occasionally made trips outside of the solar system and even to reference points outside of the galaxy, but it was nothing like this. This was all being done from within the body through the chakra system. The human nervous system and chakra system was totally plugged into the Galactic Web through the planetary grid in the way it was always meant to be.

Almost immediately after I returned from New York, I was synchronistically offered an opportunity to visit the Coastal Redwoods and Mt. Shasta. I felt the call of the Brotherhood of Light. This journey turned out be an unexpected extension to the portal work and was full of magic. Through the portals of northern California I worked with another lightworker named Theresa to align energies within the portals. The logos energy of Mars, Venus and Gaia were aligning through our channels, further opening the energy of Divine Union in the portals.

The highlight of the trip came on Friday, May 15th, when my friend Theresa and I had a contact experience at Castle Crags State Park, just south of Mt. Shasta. We were just coming down from the summit when I decided to spontaneously send out a signal of universal harmony to see if anyone wanted to communicate that was in the area.

Immediately a small black object appeared in the sky in the area where I was focused. The whole time I was in Iran, I was hoping I might see a ship, thinking that perhaps it might be safer for them to appear in Iranian airspace than in the U.S. Though I had telepathic contact with a number of ET friends that assured me of our safety during the journey, I did not have visual contact.

As we watched the object hover for a moment and begin to drift back up into the sky, I tried to quickly get my camcorder focused on the object, but it was too small and there was too much light to find it in the viewfinder. I realized that this was not a filming opportunity and decided just to appreciate it with my eyes and stay with the communication. Just before it disappeared visually, it gave off a flash of light that struck me as a beam of communication. It was a joyous hello and thank you!

I began to communicate with them telepathically, and the next few minutes were a powerful dialog with the sky that contained a reflection of the potential that is opening. I decided to do a video report with the camcorder about the experience, and the ETs were excited about what I was doing and wanted to be more involved. I said that I would love to interview them and go aboard their ship, and they agree to this at some unspecified future time. I have had visions of doing this sort of thing, and it was nice to finally feel that reality coming a bit closer. It is all part of the show I am now developing.

I am currently busy uploading footage from the trip to my computer so I can begin editing some clips to add to the blog and YouTube. I plan on creating an audiovisual presentation that I can show when I begin to travel and speak in the fall.

My sincere gratitude goes out to all of you for your prayers, contributions, and all of the energywork that supported this journey done by people throughout the world. Before I left Iran, I had a powerful vision where I saw a beam of consciousness extending from the galactic core towards the Earth, and I saw multitudes of ET ships receiving this energy and helping to anchor it into the Earth. This beam was the Gift of Peace, coming from the heart of the Galactic Mother, and again I saw that the arrival of this gift was about a year away.

Love, Light and Peace,
Michael
