Wesak in Texas, 2007

By Martha Lopez-Durkin

Wesak is an important spiritual festival named after the Wesak Valley of the Himalayas where an important etheric meeting takes place during the full moon of Taurus. In 2007, a festival-workshop will take place again in the Dallas-Ft Worth area on May 5th and 6th to celebrate Wesak. The theme for this celebration will be “Reaching Nirvana –The Great Silence.” (Go to the Christ Matrix website to get more information and register.) Though Wesak is celebrated mostly by Buddhists, it really should be a festival for all because Lord Gautama Buddha is our Planetary Logos. Lord Buddha explains what being a Planetary Logos entails:

The Earth exists in my heart. I, Buddha, and Maitreya have the ability to hear and see all. I am within all hearts that open to me just as Christ moves through his disciples. I enter into the hearts and minds of all who call to the Buddha regardless of faith. As the Buddha, I am also responsible for opening the hearts of those who dwell on Earth1 .

During the workshop-festival, Rev. Catherine Acker and other channels and teachers share important teachings from Lord Buddha, Lord Jesus, and other Ascended Masters and they also share their wonderful energy. They often perform clearings and alignments in the energy bodies of all who participate. Channels and teachers participating in this year’s festivities are Rev. Sally Le Sar, Mary Ma McChrist, Jashar, Lisa Ford, Suzie Addicks, and David Howard.  Other activities include meditations, chanting, and other expressions of joy. Christ told Cathy that the group initiations given during these events are most powerful for his students. Jesus said, in groups there are students who advance faster than others, and He is able to advance those who are close but not quite there, and that is why He likes to work with us in these group gatherings.

The Legend and Importance of Wesak

The Wesak Valley lies at a high altitude in the foothills of the Himalayan-Tibet ranges. The valley is bottle-shaped, with the neck of the bottle to the northeast, and it widens very considerably towards the south. Up towards the northern end, close to the neck of the bottle, there’s a huge flat rock. There are no trees or shrubs in the valley.

According to Alice Bailey2 , when the full moon of Taurus nears, travelers from surrounding areas begin to gather. Holy men and lamas find their way into the valley and fill the southern and the middle parts, leaving the northeastern end relatively free. The legend says that a group of great Beings, who are the Custodians on Earth of God’s Plan (Ascended Masters) for our planet and for humanity, gather there.

According to Ms. Bailey, these Beings who are the Knowers of Divinity are the main participants in the Wesak Festival. They arrange themselves in the northeastern end of the valley, in concentric circles, and prepare for a great act of service. In front of the rock, looking towards the northeast, stand those Beings, who are called by their disciples, the Three Great Lords: the Christ, who stands in the center, the Manu or Lord of Living Forms who stands at his right; and the Lord of Civilization, who stands to his left.

As the time for the full moon gets closer, there is stillness in the crowd and everyone looks towards the northeast. Masters and disciples of all ranks take up symbolic positions, and form on the floor of the valley such significant symbols such as the five-pointed star, with the Christ standing at the highest point; of a triangle, with the Christ at the apex; or a cross, and other well known formations, all of which have a deep and potent meaning. This is all done to the sound of certain mantras. 

These sound currents produced by speech and thought are patterns of Light being released. These sound currents wash the Earth and indeed connect all life through a prism of love to the Light of God and to your ‘I AM Presence.’ All unclean spirits are hushed in that moment and Light fills the Earth. It is a momentous occasion. A great ceremony takes place, and all of creation benefits. The love of God reflects through the presence of the Buddha, the Christ, and the Melchizadeks. All who partake of this gift receive a blessing. The Earth moves in step to these blessings and the Dove (Holy Spirit) descends with the tones of peace. This year it is very important that all fan the flame of peace and of love and assist the Masters in moving radiations of love through Earth.3

This extraordinary celebration is very important for Earth’s evolution and for our own evolution. It is truly a joyful spiritual experience, and we would like to invite everyone who can join us to do so.

Wesak Blessings from Lord Buddha

Channeled by Cathy Acker © 2005

May 5 and 6 will be two very important days for the Christ Matrix Foundation. We can’t tell you how excited we are that we will experience that level of energy again. If you have never experienced it, come and experience the powerful energies of Lord Gautama Buddha joining with the energies of the Christ Matrix Ascended Masters. Words cannot express the energy; you really have to experience it yourself … fully ... in person. We are sharing a portion of a channeling which was received during a Wesak celebration for Cathy had for her groups. It illustrates just how wonderful and magnanimous Lord Buddha has been with Christ Matrix students. 

Blessings my children of Earth, I am Lord Gautama Buddha coming forth.  You are in the midst of a great celebration on Shamballa.  I wished to come forth and speak to open up the cylinders that each have and to align you each with my vibration.  The path to Christ is also a path to me, and it fully needs to be understood that the breath of love that we come forth from, from the higher kingdoms has no boundaries; it has no religion; it has only the breath of God and creation.  It is my great honor because of the deep love that I have, although there were several others who loved Earth as much as I did, to be bestowed with such an honor as Planetary Prince.  For truly this is what Planetary Logos is.  It is a kingdom that I am watching over and guarding. 

It is important for you to each understand because many of you are Mother Mary’s divine groups of angelic beings that I want you to understand that you are also able to come forth to me, Lord Buddha. My ashram on Shamballa is where we are going to take you.  We started the day out in Mother Mary’s garden on Shamballa surrounded by many flowers.  There are many here on Shamballa who are in the process, as you are, in learning the steps of what needs to be accomplished so that graduation can occur in this lifetime.  It takes each one of you needing to learn more about who you are in these higher kingdoms.  This is one of the reasons that we establish great lights around your physical vessels on Earth. 

Many of you are becoming very proficient at working with the energies of Archangel Michael and the blue ray.  What I offer you today is an invitation to begin to call upon me and to begin to birth not only the Christ consciousness within you but also that of the Buddhic plane. You are being assembled, somewhat standing up, and being escorted by many beloved Ascended Masters into a holy temple where I am waiting for you.  See yourselves at this time being guided down a beautiful path, a golden path out of a beautiful garden and you will see a golden temple that is coming forth from a beautiful city.  This is the city of Shamballa.  There are many monks and sisters walking around, many robed beings, and many are bowing to you as you walk through the streets. 

There is great celebration here.  It has been going on for several days now; the doors to the temple area opening up.  It is important for each of you to know as you enter this temple that you are blessed and that you are walking on sacred ground, for in a sense this is where my Throne energies exist, where I govern your world.  As you are brought into the temple you will be shown seats.  The temple is very bright and I am sitting in the front.  There is incense burning all around the temple.  Begin to breathe in and see if you are able to feel or sense or see where you are.  The rays from the Great Central Sun are focused through my crown center. This is what it means to become Lord of the World.  I hold a prism of light and it is directed through my heart center to Earth. Are you beginning to understand the importance of understanding Oneness and the development of the Three-fold Flame? Not praising my name but praising what I have become because I am representing to your world, just as Christ Jesus and many others represent to your world, the ability that lies within each one of you.  Many as I look upon your energy fields are just a stone’s throw away from becoming one with your Oversoul.  This is a day that the Immaculate Virgin Mary has waited for. Receiving you in my home is a great honor for me. It is an honor for us to see our children, who we have worked with and nurtured, become masters in their own right, and truly this is what is occurring on Earth at this time. 

Lord Melchizadek was assisting me earlier when you were working with the Blessed Mother, and I want you to see that ruby red ray coming from my heart and entering into your heart.  It carries with it the Oversoul vibration.  You might see some silver energy in it because this is what the Blessed Mother works with and now if you want to open up any of your inner chambers, like your heart chamber, picture that ruby red ray attaching to the heart of the Buddha on Shamballa and I will guide you here.  Ascension in this life time is our great gift to humanity and it is important that I address this subject.  Ascension truly means making a conscious decision, just as I did in my life, to leave the worldliness of your world behind and to follow the Will of the Father.  This does not mean that you need to leave your homes and sit in loin clothes as we did. Accepting the path of the Will of the Father who has great love for each one of you sometimes means giving up certain things that do not bring forth great love, great light and great wisdom on your path. 

Earlier today the Blessed Mother spoke about your receiving the gift of wisdom from the Great Central Sun of Helios and Vesta. There are many who are going to begin to work with these Divine Beings but you need to begin to understand the Oneness and unity of the flame that you each came forth from.  My being in front of each one of you appears to be so bright, and it seems as if it is something that you cannot achieve for yourself, but understand that I sat where you are sitting and I asked to be shown a greater understanding.  This is how I began to develop and change and, like you, it came to me in many stages of awareness.  I ascended and yet remained on Earth as many who are on Earth are choosing now.  My blessing is complete. The higher selves that you are each working with come forth from an alignment to a causal body.  These are not parts of your Selves that dwell within the fourth dimension. 

It is important to you to begin to see a great sphere of energy and light swirling around your physical bodies.  We do not suggest that you begin to open up the crown centers until you have a full grasp of working with the heart center and aligning with the Three-fold Flame.  Many of you have been undergoing stages of advanced understanding and beginning to merge on the causal plane.  You need to begin to wear not only the energies of that of the Christ brotherhood, but also that of your Buddhic body.  At this time, the Blessed Mother is coming up to me, and I am handing her a lotus flower and inside of it are many lotus flowers, smaller lotus flowers that she will give to each one of you.  See yourself receiving a lotus flower blessed by me, holding the energies of your Buddha.  Take the lotus flower into your hands and smell it.  It holds my fragrance and it holds my love.  Now place it into your column of light so that you are established to your own Buddha body, to your own Buddha Matrix, so that the silver cord from your body on Earth will reach through your ascended vessels so that you also can once again become the Bodhisattva or the Buddha, whichever is right for you.  Accept this gift now from me.  It is similar to the anointing of the Christ; it is from the heart of the Buddha and it is a symbol of my love and my trust in each one of you that you are here today in my presence to return home to me, to walk the sacred streets into the holy cities of Shamballa, to be among the brethren who dwell here, and to bow your heads before us acknowledging the spirit of Divinity within you and within us. 

Unity needs to come to your world.  It does not need to come in the form of a religion or one representing a religion such as myself or that of Christ, Jesus, but it needs to be understood that there are certain principles that you are to lead your lives to understand the joyful existence that we now dwell in.  The Blessed Mother has been teaching many from these groups the path of grace through her sacred heart for quite some time, but in today’s discussion with you I would like you to turn inward and know that you have an opportunity to work with Gautama Buddha right now.  Turn inward to the Buddha mind within you and allow it to reflect the Buddha image back to you.  The Buddha also holds the Three-fold Flame in perfect balance, in perfect unity with his soul’s mission on Earth.  If you have a seed crystal, place it in your hand now, I will give it my blessing, and at this moment see your own Buddha image or what is blocking you from becoming the Buddha or the Bodhisattva.  Allow it to come forth.  Ask Lord Buddha to take you by the hand and guide you.  I wish to be each person’s friend and teacher.  I wish for you to return to Shamballa many times.  I hold within me the God presence.

You honor me and each person’s soul has now been initiated by me.  Try to make Earth a happier place.  Try to assist those who come onto your path that need your help.  This is how you become a world server.  Trust that I, Lord Buddha can work miracles through you.  We can begin together to change the face of your world.  We, who are all represented today from many brotherhoods, are awakening the souls on Earth to enter into the columns of light and take their rightful place among the brotherhoods and sisterhoods of light.  Allow yourself to be counted in those numbers.  Give yourself this great gift in this lifetime.  I am Gautama Buddha and I bless the heart of each one of you.  Now go in peace you may dwell in this holy city for as long as you would like.  Please return here often and ask to be guided to speak with me, to walk with me, and to talk to me.  I also hear the prayers of your world and if you would make that one of your intentions the Blessed Mother would be happy to assist you with this.  The doors to the holy shrine temple are opening and great love is poured upon each one of you.  Begin to see yourselves rising slowly and walking out of the doors.  The Blessed Mother is going to take you, regroup you, if you will, back to her site. 

A Message from Archangel Michael

Channeled by Jashar

Dear Beloveds!

Greetings to each of you …. We bid you peace and prosperity.

So many of you still experience some difficulty in allowing your highest essence to create the life you believe you have chosen ....

You say “I choose” and yet you do not yet believe. You say “I believe” and yet you complain that it is not happening.

We say unto each of you … that which is felt in the heart is your reality!  It is not what you think.  It is what you are—state of being—human and divine. You are the “I Am Presence” in manifest form!

Embrace that which rings true in the heart for this is your essence.  You are unlimited, you are eternal. You are not separate from your source.  Limit yourselves no longer...

Replace the space which limits you with that which is boundless ... that which is unique ... that which is the All That Is.  You are your own help from on high!

Each of you, right now, in this moment: allow yourself to expand beyond your previous horizons.  Radiate, Emanate, and generate the greatest force in this universe. 

Living Love—a multicolored expression of the flame of your soul; the fire which does not consume; the fire which creates anew.

So many of you are so determined to “understand”....  We understand you ... and your dilemmas ....  And we say to you, yet again, trust your own heart …. It is for you to follow.  Your own soul has chosen manifest as you will.  No one entity can choose for any other!  It is your path, your journey, your mission, your contract ... develop it, experience it, and continue to create at will ... your destiny.  Begin to trust ... allow yourself to finally claim your blessings, your birthright.

Become the whole soul self you have already created .... Leave your old beliefs behind.  Most of them simply no longer serve.  There is nothing “required” of anyone.  There is no doctrine, dogma, or creed that is more important than any other.  Take all that you have been given in this time and recognize how “Truth” feels.  Let this become your gauge.  The truth is physical also.

Remember you are a powerful, unique, and magnificent being of Light and Living Love, which are identical!  Let the flame that is you be open and expanded and magnificent.  Amplify the Living Love which is you; your highest and best. When you feel out of balance or in any other state but center point, remind yourself of the pillar of light you can be, have been, and may be again.  Choose wisely little ones, and well.  Everything you feel assists your own star-seeded evolution. 

Many of you are coming into your gifts as we speak.  Many of you are quite easily able to stand naked in the Light without the mask ... any mask!  We salute you!  We honor you!  We enfold you....We embrace each and every one of you.

We say for each of you ....

Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish Adonnai Tseybeyoth!

The Basics of Meditation

by Suzie Addicks

Types of Meditation

Concentration: focusing attention on an object or on breathing.
Zen: sitting and calming the mind to achieve insight about existence.
Transcendental: repeating a phrase or sound until the mind empties of thought.
Contemplation: thinking about elevated subjects such as love and God.
Active meditation: may include yoga, tai chi, walking or dancing.

Basic Steps

• Commit 20 to 30 minutes. You may be able to meditate for only a couple of minutes at first, but that’s enough to get you in the groove.
• Create a quiet space (turn off TV, radio, CD player, etc.).
• Sit comfortably (chair, couch or floor).
• Close your eyes.  Wait about a minute.
• Breathe in and out; fill the lungs and empty lungs. Relax and breathe softly; repeat a pleasing sound (or phrase).
• When meditation time is up, wait a few minutes before opening your eyes.
• Lie down and rest awhile, if time permits.
• Repeat each morning and early evening for best results.
• Seek professional instruction if necessary, take a class on meditation.

Dear Martha,

What would be some of the benefits that a spiritual student could gain by attending the Wesak festival-workshop?

Curious

Dear Curious,

There are many spiritual benefits that one gets while attending these festivals. Many were already mentioned in the articles in this newsletter. For me, the most tangible one was the benefit of the very real energy that one receives during these festivals. It made me aware in a very real sense of the lightness of spirit. I had never felt my heart be so light. I know that the first time that I experienced such beautiful energy my life was changed and I knew then that this is where I belong.

Love and Light,

Martha
