My Journey to Wesak

I saw the ad for the Wesak Festival and I knew I had to go. I had been reading about Sanat Kumara, Melchizedek, Lord Maitreya, and others. I had to hear these divine beings speak and be in their presence. I left my home town a few days early so I could enjoy beautiful northern California. I have always loved being in the mountains and sitting by alpine lakes; there is such a sense of beauty and harmony there. I headed to Wesak looking forward to being among 1200 people who believed in God and Spirit.

April 30. It's getting late, I find a camp site by a lake. It is that special time of night when the stars haven't appeared yet, and the sun has gone down. The color of the sky is azure blue, the hills in the background have lost their detail and are becoming silhouetted by the night sky. A planet brilliantly lit, is lighting up the lake. I can hear the activity of ducks; their wings and bodies splashing in the water is the loudest sound on the lake. Crickets are starting to add their voice to the night. I sit, amazed at the beauty and tranquility. The moon is about to make it's presence felt. I gaze up at the nearly full moon. I think of the sun's gift of light, and what is to come at the festival.

May 1. Upon waking I meditated as is my usual custom and did some writing. In my meditating I hear the following words. "Imagine a gold-ruby light at the center of your heart. See that Ray expanding in your heart center. Now imagine emerald green at your heart center. This is a ceremony of the Christen one (and Buddha). This is about your heart and earth. This is about incorporating divine love into your being and grounding that love in your everyday experience and being."

I arrive in Weed that afternoon. I get some groceries and go exploring. I find lake Siskiyou, which becomes my home for the weekend.

May 2. I arise to another cold morning with the sun promising to make its rays felt as the day progresses. I meditate and do some writing.

"Now good morning Raymond. Prepare yourself for this influx of energy and spirit by paying attention to the subtleties of our presence. Listen to the birds sing, to the beating of your heart, to the thoughts about yourself and your life. Be totally aware of all that you do at this time without judgment of right and wrong, but with discernment of that which you wish to manifest. Bring intention and consciousness to those thoughts and feelings which further your being. Let love guide you in all that you do. The Christ will be here with all of you this weekend. You have called forth His love and His teachings. You have called forth His being into yours. This is the Christ love, and the Cosmic Christ of Love, and God. His energy and love will be with you, opening your heart and mind to the true source of your being. Rejoice in your God given Light. Rejoice in your God given Life. This is the time of divine remembering. Rejoice humanity. Enjoy the beauty of this scared place. Enjoy the energy and the scenery. Let it touch your heart and being. Let nature open you up. Feel the consciousness that she is. Feel the life here in these lakes and woods. You sense the wonder of Life. Now enjoy it to your fullest." Your Soul.

I headed up to the beautiful alpine lake called Castle Lake. Snow fields, wind, sun, crystal clear water, raptors soaring, trees, rock faces, and cumulus clouds were the order of the day. I found a large mountain boulder on the lake's edge. I stayed. I let nature open me up.

May 3.

"Now good morning Raymond. This is your soul. You will be in contact with each of the masters in a personal way, even if don't perceive all that will transpire. Few of you will. But some who have their vision open will be able to perceive the light bodies and forms of your ascended masters. Now, there will be many guides and angels with us today also. Many of the spiritual hierarchy have been assigned to gather and help with this holy day of transformation and anchoring the energy and light into you and your earth. It is the time of your awakening. It is a time of great blessing for those of you who have chosen to come to this Light festival and the anchoring of the Christ Light into your bodies and being. Lord Maitreya will be here as the master of Love and Light, as the Christ Light for you. He has embodied the Light fully in His consciousness, and is a personal representation of the God Light."

I went to the caves near Redding. Caves have so many meanings. Our own consciousness has often been likened to a cave. We enter the darkness when we leave the light of our true divine being to enter this dimension. We search our cave, our lives, our mind, exploring and learning. There was a shaft near the top of these caves where people used to enter by rope. There is a shaft of light in my being where I may once again find my way. I enjoyed living the symbolism in the physical.

This evening is the beginning of the Wesak festival. People where arriving, or had already arrived, from all over the world to attend this event. Each of us in our way had answered something inside of us that said, be here, in this place, at this time, for this unfolding.

We gathered. We found our seats. Each of us was to create a unity, a whole, that was experiencable by all. Each was to have their own unique experiences of joy, compassion, and understanding during the Wesak festival. After a guided meditation or a channeling session, faces and hearts were radiant. Eyes were open and deep, revealing the person and the soul within. We listened to the voices of the channels, letting their voices and words carry us to their dimensions, to their love and knowings. We were guided to Source. We cleared ourselves. We asked for transformation. We healed. We did a healing for humanity and the planet. Each moment building upon the next until I was pretty much constantly in a heightened state of awareness. My heart was opened. What joy! I was coming home. Lord Archangel Michael brought tears to my eyes with His love for us. The angel kingdom's love for us is so immense. I feel it in His words. I feel the unconditional love He and His fellow angels have for us. I felt the shame and guilt as an individual and race that I have for our pain and suffering. It is time to let go. I'm grateful.

May 6. Sitting by the lake Monday morning during my meditation I gave thanks for all that I had been given and was shared, when I was given a gift. I was given a golden cross, or a golden sphere to be placed in my heart center. It was there for me to imagine when I wanted to contact this "place" within me again. We were asked to take this love and understanding that we had experienced home with us into our everyday living. Into the world of our everyday thoughts and actions with ourselves, other people, and the earth. I will remember, and try to live from this place within me.

May 9. "You indeed have had a wonderful time at the Wesak festival. We of the spiritual kingdom are very very pleased with your work on behalf of the planet, and all of us. For it was a far reaching event of energy,love, and consciousness, that expanded infinitely into the cosmos. You have no idea how far your intention reached into the universe. Way out into the galaxy, your collective energy and love, reached for the betterment of your earth, and each and every one of you. We want you all to know that it was a great blessing for all of us in the heavenly kingdom, as well as for humanity, and your earth. All life streams that participate in creating your earth, and that live on or within your earth felt the energy, love, and conscious effort that was reached by your intention to ascend, and heal both yourselves, and your universe. By that we mean not only is your planet ascending, but the whole quadrant of this galaxy was and is effected by what you as a group of light workers put your heart and soul into. We are all truly blessed for your effort and participation in this the great cosmic event of your time. Yes, I call it a great cosmic event, for humanity has demonstrated it's love for earth, God, the hierarchy, and all the beings who work on behalf of the One Infinite Creator. How blessed we all are by this tremendous outburst of love and dedication to the One Infinite Creator, and to serve." Soul.
