In this issue, I wanted to share with you our 12-Ray story. Jenifer, Shirley and I are about to embark on another round of 12-Ray classes. It seemed a most appropriate time to share our story with you. In this issue, we also continue with Rev. Catherine Julian Dove’s informative articles on various themes of great importance to us. This issue delves on What Ascended Master Teachings Are. Rev Vera Lauren shares with us how she has dealt with a personal loss in the recent holidays in we don’t need to have a season to have a reason. St Germain, through Shirley Mayes, reminds us that this is a year of great awakenings, and Jenifer reminds us to Pause, Recognize and Create.

The Triad and the 12 Rays of God

It all began the summer of 2008, Shirley, Jenifer and I began to notice that the three of us formed a trinity of light and had great energetic compatibility! The more the three of us are together, the stronger the energy among us flows in a very unique, creative, and harmonious way.  We suspected and found out that we had worked together in past lives—of course.  Needless to say, we find our energy flow to be beneficial for our work and quite powerful when we meditate, pray, teach, and do healing or clearing work.

Towards the end of 2008, our dear teacher and friend Katherine W. Desai mentioned during a mentoring session we had with her that we would be teaching classes on the 12 Rays. The three of us just looked rolled our eyes in disbelief and thought “Yeah, right.” Some time later, Katherine made available her book with transcribed Ray meditations by Djwhal Khul, and our proverbial light-bulbs went on. “We could do it,” we admitted, and later an enthusiastic “Let’s go for it,” erased any doubts we might have had. We embarked in the adventure of teaching the Ray classes. Two interesting things happened: the classes kept getting better and better, deeper, more powerful, and they were so much fun! There was so much joy, camaraderie, support and growth that resulted from the work we looked forward to them. Additionally, we felt so rewarded and validated when DK recently gave us his message.

Djwhal Khul here. Tashi Delek,

I am very excited with working with the three of you. You have all worked together forming this triad because this is your specialty. You come together and form a triad which changes the energy for your particular focus.  There are no accidents as you know, and you have come together as planned. You have great power and have come to help uplift the vibration of the planet in your own unique focus.  I am honored that you have put the focus on the work that I had started earlier, and with my mentoring on this side, we will be able to progress with great speed, as never before with the Attributes of God.

Thank you, and as always, my love to you.

In fact, recently, we found out that there was so much commitment, fun, joy and expansion demonstrated by our small group that our Teachers, Guides, and Higher Parts of Self enlisted our physical extensions to continue expanding the work in this dimension! Isn’t that so very cool? On January 27, 2010, we launch the second round of powerful and deeper 12 Ray classes. This time around, more information will be made available. In addition, we will continue exploring more experiential activities to enhance our classes. The attunements will be deeper and more of the Rays will be able to reach Mother Earth. We are told that the classes can benefit new as well as experienced Ray students. The classes are still very inexpensive. We do hope you will join us!


What are the Ascended Masters' Teachings?

Rev. Cathy Acker
By Rev. Catherine Julian Dove, © Jan 2010    

The Ascended Masters’ teachings are on a wide range of subjects, but most are for the process of awakening and assisting us in understanding our nature as being divine.

Now, let's hear how the Ascended Masters would describe their teaching to you.

We embrace life. Earth is actually in opposition. We stand between the forces of light and those of darkness which still exist. We give advice and we give instruction on prayer. We are coming in during a cycle when many advanced teachings are also available. We would say we are teachers of wisdom. We give instruction to many on how to create a barrier of light. We give talks on how to release judgments, and what the benefits are from forgiveness. For some on the planet, we take them and instruct them in many different halls of knowledge and teach them the gift of working with their I Am Presences. We show them the path of light which is a blessing. Once we come into alignment with our students on earth, we remain with them. We prepare them to receive teachings that will expand their experience. Some come to us like sponges wanting to know and understand all parts of creation. Some ask few questions, although we would say we find great joy in answering their questions. We ask everyone not be afraid to call upon us. We assist them in living their lives and try to help them not repeat the same mistakes. For the advanced students, we teach them to pierce the veil, and prepare them for ascension.

As earth fell, Spirit departed from the human DNA system because Spirit is connected to the I Am Presence. This is why each ascending soul becomes a radiant being of light. It takes the human time to integrate the higher light codes. This is what is referred to in your teachings as a blessing.

Above this universe are several others with even more radiant beings. They came to colonize the lower creations before the fall. Within you, they remember themselves. Ask to pass through and attain this coding for yourself. You can utilize a golden light to reconnect with the master levels. The Ascended Masters remain with the earth through its ascension process. We would like to give each one of you a thought to hold in your heart, and to hold in your mind. Release the resistance; ask to be shown an opening to your own God image; and trust that a path of light will guide you home. Some get quite mental about the process of learning how to acquire the additional strands of DNA present in their light bodies. These are flickers of light. They exist for you within the columns of light descending towards you from the I Am Presence. You open this gateway by working with your I Am Flame, which exists in your spiritual heart. Your I Am Flame also holds a form of protection for you and working with it can release karmic patterns. By working with your I Am Flame as you become brighter, you attract to yourself also the higher teachers, and they begin to assist you with your training. Our messenger, Catherine, did this for many years, and now she is able to receive teachings from a number of ascended masters who come through a matrix of energy called the Christ-Buddha Matrix. This is an ascension spiral of light and holds a path of ascension for earth. We who remain with earth assist earth. You have each weathered many storms and we can see this in you.

What benefits are there to taking classes or workshops with the ascended masters?

Over the years, I have experienced many initiations. I can barely remember the person I was when my classes began. I like to tell my students that I am being taught to ascend. If they are interested, they can join me. The masters take a special interest in the regular students. Oftentimes, I am given updates on their progress or given a message to assist them further. I feel the ascended masters create an extended family. Now, let's hear from the ascended masters on this topic.

During the classes and workshops, we intensify our work with our students. We are actually cleaning your auras, stabilizing the frequencies from the higher heavens, and reconnecting the missing key codes that establish light into your energy centers for healing on several levels. This light is brought in first from your Higher Self and later from your I Am Presence depending on what level you are currently working on. We anchor the students who are ready to the causal planes. These are the regions of heaven discussed in many holy teachings. The human soul for many on earth has yet to identify itself with these compartments of light. Many on earth remain more comfortable with the shadow side of existence.

For us, it is like threading a needle. We move in precision with your I Am Presence. We encourage you. The classes are opportunities for those students who desire to experience an acceleration of growth beyond the higher mental body. It is through the classes that we offer that we spin a vortex of light around you for your protection and for your growth. For many of the classes, we give specific titles to assist you in assimilating our intentions. However, we use each and every opportunity to intensify the realms of light to flow through you. Many times you are brought to the ashram of the ascended masters who preside over the class or workshop. You travel there in your light bodies. This practice of soul travel is what accelerates your growth. If you feel this subject matter is of interest to you, please know that you are welcome.

What are the Causal Planes?

The causal planes are the colored rings around your I Am Presence. They are also our true home. I hear many people speaking about going to other planets or other earths and living a life in a new Camelot. If this is what interests you, we are probably not the group for you. Although I do speak to the Lord of Sirius and Lady Master Venus, I would rather visit their planet as an ascended master. Jesus once showed me another universe that he is from. He said that until we are over there in our lightbodies in full consciousness, it is hard for us to have a reference point to understand God's many creations.

Now, let's hear what the ascended masters have to say on this topic.

We also exist further away from earth on the causal planes; the causal planes are also another name for your Divine Monad. There are many trees within the originating monad. Some trees are spliced together. Repairing your trees is the work of the Ascended Masters who come from the regions of light and of sound. In these regions there are also sound currents.

As you move into alignment with the causal planes, you work with a pattern of light that looks like a pole. Christ and Kuthumi have called it a rod of power. It is actually within the columns of light. It would be one of the pillars that exist within your descending columns. This long pole of light stabilizes the human chakras so that the student can harness the energies of the Immaculate Concept, which is every creation's birthright. There is a strong impulse from these regions to assist those on earth who are awakening at this time. We would say that the door is open. This means that the shaft of light above the higher mental body is already built for those who desire to work with us here. One of the names many know is Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days, who is assisting with guiding earth's patterns. It is always a joy to continue to make our contribution to earth's evolving cycles. Within these regions, many of you can begin to access your ancient memories of seed consciousness that began life in descending spirals of universes.

There are several creations that Sanat Kumara presides over; earth is only one of them. You are in one root race that is ending. This is the meaning of the Mayan calendar and the year 2012. Your world is not going to end, but it will acquire additional light to prepare the way for those to come who desire to prepare for the Golden Age. Some are here already. You call them the Indigo children--and there will be more to come--and as they come to enlightened parents your world begins to create its new future.

Once your gateway opens, Ascended Masters are actually positioned all around you. At this time, you experience a soul infusion and the ego lessens its hold, and you feel less attached. Memories appear to fade that do not support the incoming light. It is a period of the drawing in of spirit where the flame bodies become activated and many soul alignments are given from the causal planes.

Blessings,
Catherine Julian Dove

We don’t need a season to have a reason

Vera
By Rev. Vera Lauren

Why is it that many decide to make changes because it is a new year? I have always been a dreamer, but as the years pass and life wears you down, it is not so easy to be optimistic. 2009 was especially hard on my friends and family, then smack in the middle of the holiday’s a personal tragedy struck.
With the deadline for this article quickly approaching, I was really at a loss as to what topic to choose. I certainly was not in the mood for anything upbeat, but did not wish to invite anyone to my private pity party. As the weeks passed, something had to be done other than vacillating between a self-induced coma and meditative communion. I reverted back to what always worked, and that is to take the focus off myself and think of others. I decided to dive head first into the spiritual well of resources available to all, with the intent of world service. Physically putting into practice what I mentally decided to do was more difficult than I originally thought. I decided to start with strangers, this way I would not have to answer any well-meaning questions from those familiar with my sorrow. Then I slowly gravitated to friends and family. I did not do anything grandiose, I mostly prayed for loved ones and troubled global hotspots and was merely supportive, and sympathetic. I also did simple acts of kindness, such as forcing a smile toward a sad looking soul. In doing so, I felt somewhat refreshed and free in my quest to make manifest subtle, worthwhile global changes, since I felt absolutely incapable of doing anything for myself. This forced me to take a look within and tweak the ego and old ways. Yes, I fought it, but consciously remained in a pool of loving inspiring thoughts, but I knew I could not sustain this on my own. Determined, I aligned with the inexhaustible nature of our Creator to birth even greater possibilities of light into the world. My eyes continually gazed at the many inspirational messages in my office, especially the one that reads: “God always roots for His children to succeed.” I do believe God wants us to succeed even more than we do, and I know it is me that repeats patterns and blocks flow.

This whole experiment passed the test of doubt, our souls have unlimited support and God will give you the strength and encouragement to fulfill your resolutions, no matter how desolate we choose to be. I am not saying down time is not acceptable, quite the contrary. We all need nurturing from time to time, but it is just as important to revitalize your aspirations, however trivial you deem them to be. Do not identify with limitations on any level. That is a big one, it is in the same genre as when we readily believe and mentally rerun negative feedback and dismiss anything positive.  Be confident, inspired, consistent, determined, and fearless in your resolutions. 

We do not need to have a season to have a reason to stay connected to Source. As the months pass, celebrations cease, and friends seemingly fall away, mentally stay connected with our Divine Mother and Father. We always have this option. Use the precious tools of meditation and pray to dip into the depths of the Universal well springs.  Invite the Christ in to every situation. At my lowest point, I would ask the ascended masters to hold me while I cried, or-- if I was able to get out of bed—walk with me.

I am such an independent thinker, so I understand how easy it is to forget that we are not alone. Write yourself a posted if you must, but always remain mentally and spiritually connected, heart to heart. Daily pray for peace and harmony. My wish for all of you and your loved ones is that you experience a blessed and prosperous New Year of great fortune.

St. Germain’s Message

By Shirley Mayes

2010 -- Pause, Recognize, and Create


Jenifer McKenzieBy Jenifer McKenzie

This year of 2010 offers the energetic support to absolutely turn things around. Djwhal Khul is calling it “The Turn Around Year.” This of course, does not happen by itself. It happens through the focus and conscious creation of each person. That’s you and me and all of those people that have the ability to envision a better world for all of humanity.

I think the best place to start is to simply pause and reflect on the amazing journey of this past year. We need to acknowledge all of the good things, all of the breakthroughs, all of the “aha” moments that we have all experienced, because all of the meditations, prayers, spiritual classes and discussions that we participate in, have provided a sacred space for our growth in consciousness. Fill yourself with gratitude for this, pat yourself on your back, and give yourself a huge energetic hug of love and appreciation for a job well done.

Filled with this gratitude, now recognize and acknowledge all of the classes, prayers, meditations and discussions that have provided the Sacred Space for you to experience this higher consciousness. There are so many opportunities now to experience this group support of like-minded people and to safely express our experiences. This is to be treasured and honored. Now recognize that you are a very important and necessary part of all of this. Recognize that you have much to offer even by just by showing up and holding that high vibration.

And now, we turn our attention to this most promising year of 2010. How do we turn things around? We consciously create by focusing our thoughts and energy only on what we envision as the best and highest for ourselves and humanity.  The energy that is here for 2010 will support what we imagine, think, say and do. It is time to really practice being a Master. Choose very carefully what you give your energy to. Resist the temptation to complain and go on about what is wrong. Use all of your energy to amplify the good that is possible, the abundance that is possible and call forth a world that is peaceful and benevolent to all of humanity.

“Face the brilliance of your most wonderful creations. Dwell on your dreams”.

This YOU TUBE says it all! This was sent to me by a friend. Please enjoy. It is about 4 min.

Featured Class

The 12 Divine Rays of God — Powerful Tools for Daily Living

We invite you to join us each month for our ongoing class of The 12 Divine Rays of God. This class is presented to you under the supervision of the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul and is facilitated by Jenifer McKenzie, Shirley Mayes and Martha Lopez Durkin. You can join the class at any time. MP3 recordings of previous classes are available for purchase.

What Are The Rays?

The 12 Divine Rays of God are a gift to us from our Creator. Lady Nada says that the Rays are the “Breath of Creation.” They come straight from the Creator, traveling down through our I AM Presences, down through all of our higher chakras, down through our physical bodies and into Mother Earth. However, the complete 12 Rays have not always been able to reach our Earth. But because of our current positioning in the Universe, all of these Rays are now able to connect with Earth and will continue to increase in intensity in the coming years. These Rays are here by Divine Order. They are here to help us and Mother Earth ascend into a Higher Consciousness.  Learn More
