Peering Through the Veils
Center of Light News 10.08.08. To see a greater truth, dreaming the new dream: We come from a subtle time. We have knowledge and awareness beyond our current beliefs, even beyond many of our imaginations. We are so much more than we think we are, or have been taught to be. How do we see, and access awareness of the worlds and understanding beyond our common bonds? We must let go of the illusion of the Veils we cling to, which keep us from seeing our own greater Truth. They are called obscurations in many tongues...that which obscures us from the Truth. They are self-induced, the Veils. If we were to peer into the Truth, we shall see into Pure Mind. Pure Creation. Pure Reality. To do so, we must see beyond all Fear and Illusion. We must see beyond All we have made up, to believe, to protect us, to survive in a world we have perceived or experienced as hostile, violent, shameful, not intact, not at One with the All That Is. We have come to believe we are separate from the Greater Reality. Many of us have not even perceived it.. All the great teachers have told us we suffer from illusion of separation, that, in reality, we are One, not living in a world of isolation or suffering, but a great and benevolent Truth (we are the Buddha; the kingdom of heaven is at hand, or within....) How do we see beyond our suffering to recognize that heaven within? What is beyond the Veil we call death? Why do so many masters teach us we create our own reality, springing from, as the Hindus say, the "Cave of Brahma", (behind the third eye region of the 'upper brain centers?') What would happen if we chose to peer beyond death, beyond all that we fear the most. Why do so many cultures offer allies to accompany us through the portals of death? What allies would be beneficial to call upon? Why, how, can they help us to not linger, but to make safe passage through the portals beyond this reality? Can this understanding help us to bridge into the greater Realities at this time, to Peer Beyond the Veils? If we cling to reality, we cannot pierce Reality with our breath or vision. For it is free and luminous, not contained or held. ("neither Real nor unreal, both existing and non-existing, self luminous, and self-liberating") We must let go of how we imagine we perceive reality, let go of all of our beliefs of how Reality is constructed, in order to perceive it as it is. Even then, it is as free as every thought we create. We must let go of all fear, illusion, death, grief, doubt, anger, shame, fear, guilt, remorse, all judgement, yes, all fear. We must be able and willing to perceive ultimate purity. Face it without pre-conception. And be willing to let go impurities in order to perceive it. And be willing to understand, to face, ourselves as ultimate purity. We must be able and willing to embrace the incontinence of our own Divinity (not contained.) The beauty, richness, and durablity of our being beyond all current fathomable belief. All we perceive, we are. All we perceive. We are the Buddha, the Buddha tell us. "Greater things than these shall be done." All else is illusion. What would happen if we do project our own reality onto the great matrix of life? What if our beliefs did create our reality? Then, whatever we believe can project onto that screen. Thus, we must learn to contain our beliefs within the matrix of harmony of All Life. Not just contain, but purify. Move beyond duality, to pierce the Veil of Unity. We are living in the time of the "Lifting of the Veils". This is the nature, the actual meaning, of both, "Revelations," and, 'The Apocalypse." We are living in those times. Let us create the reality anew. In harmony with All Life, as we have been given to do. Let us re-enter the Garden. Let us Dream the New Dream, and enter relationship with the sacred dreamweavers of this earth to weave the fabric of creation in harmony, beauty and balance. As we come to the portal of release of how we believe reality is constructed, to witness it as it is, we must come to pure consciousness, or all fear will be projected upon that screen. Thank goodness our power of perception is limited. But, as we purify, as the Veils thin, our ability to see more distinctly into the worlds beyond illusion grows more distinct. If we hold one thread of impure thought, of fear or obstruction, that is the thread we will last perceive before we move into the construction of reality based upon pure thought, pure perception, pure being, pure reality. This is the nature of the "Bardos" the Tibetans so vividly assist their patrons through at times of death, accompanying their comrades beyond the self constructed illusions, back to the "realms of pure light and sound." It is by facing this level of consciousness, at the deepest level of our being, that we shall be able to move through our current states of confusion and suffering, and into an individual, and collective state of Awakening. The new world, the new dream, which is unfolding during this time of "Revelations, of 'Lifting of the Veils.' " Every great saint and teacher has passed through this great portal, whether it be Gautama facing the Lord Maya, to Yeshua facing the Deceiver in the desert. We each have the perception, the wisdom the courage and knowledge within us to make this safe passage. Yet, keen understanding of methodology for holding to awakened states is most beneficial to assist us. Collective prayer also can generate states of synergy further assisting us to move beyond the most common yoke. Let us face our thoughts, our obscurations, our impurities, by focusing upon our pure being, as a source of understanding, of harmony, or tansmuting fear and illusion. Let us move our awareness into the well of emptiness, the void of creation, from which all life springs. Let us slowly learn to weave the threads of a stronger creation, based upon the universal principals of harmony, of balance, of pure perception, of pure being. And join together, to collectively weave those threads into a matrix of beauty, balance, wonder, joy, ecstasy, harmony, generated in the love of and for all beings, all universes, working with the DreamWeavers of this Sacred Earth, in service to all creation. Let us: Be of Pure Mind. 'Place all your awareness upon the One True Source of Being. All else is entanglement.' If you feel called, please, join with us in world service next weekend, Oct 18-19, see below. Also, see 'final note' below, on the current dissolution of the economy. Many blessings to all.

Let Us Begin: Dreaming the New Dream; Embracing our Role as Co-Creators Awakening Our Abilities to see into the Other Worlds. It is TIME! "We can only open eyes that are willing to see." ~P.Peterson Teachings on the Nature and Authenticity of the Human Soul Calling upon the Sanctity of all Humanity to Open to the New World, The New Dream for this World to engage in our creative potential to assume our Divine Heritage to take our place as Co-Creators of the New Reality ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Acts of Deep Personal and Planetary Transformation Come and Dream with us, and the Dreamweavers of this great Earth, the New Dream.

It is easy to allow fear or panic to direct our emotions, feelings, actions at times of such instability. If we were to listen to the spin doctors and news addicts, we could easily buy into their panic, as they have no frame of reference to place this in, just as the news anchors have not understood the greater picture of growing world catatastrophes, climate change, and so much more. This is part of the transformational process which we should be expecting to occur, as older systems not based on the harmonic principals of universal being, collapse, to make room for the new and rising harmonic consciousness of creation. Ancient prophecies speak in many tongues, of the 'collapse of archaic systems which no longer serve us,' as we come into balance and harmony from within ourselves, individually, and collectively, to build a new consciousness. They all point to this time, as the time of New Awakening. The seeds have already been sown. What we focus upon, and how we live, is vital to the weaving of the new tapestry of Creation. It is normal, in times of new creation, for there to be a period of collapse and chaos, as new energies arise to replace the old growth curtailed by transformational winds. Hold close to your true source of being. This is the path. Hold close to your true source of being. Breathe deeply into your innermost heart, and let your breath arise from this as well. From this place of purity, of beauty, of power and enlightened awareness. Trust in that. Feel that. It will, also, assist each of us in the dissolution of our own thoughts and feelings which do not arise from the deeper reality of our own true Pure Being. >From this, will arise the new and invigorating awareness which will bring us, each and every one ready and willing to make the transition, into greater stability, harmony, balance, wholeness, and well being. This is a time to invest in your greater Truth, your greater Reality. Only you know that in its fullness. Trust in your own inner voice and path to self discovery and well being. By building on the deeper, impenetrable spirit of creation (inviolate, remains fast and pure, no matter the outer circumstances,) we become less attached to the old and archaic systems we may have invested in, and it becomes easier and easier to allow that, based on mistruth, to crumble, and pass away. As we invest in, and see the greater Truth arises with each breath, each action, each day, we focus more fully upon that, and build upon the one true source of our being, in a growing cycle of evolutionary awakening. When we join in community, our ability to utilize these mostly untapped resources of creative harmony, and powers of awakening consciousness, build into unsuspected levels of collective harmony and well being, which we can seed into the fabric of creation. This, in part, is what we shall be doing in this upcoming practice (Lifting the Veils,) and a growing part of our many practices offered. We shall also be offering direct methods of finding balance and stability during these times of chaos. Of discovering more definitively, and standing firm in our innermost being of Light and Power. What is happening around us is nothing more than the leaves falling, swirling, and blowing in the wind, during a normal cycle of transformation, just as the leaves swirl in the winds of the fall. If we step out into the winds, we can get blinded and lost in the chaos. If we stayed attuned to the inner worlds, we can see it as a part of Creation, Movement, and Transformation. While we need be mindful during the coming winter, we know the days of renewal and growth are building for the following season of spring. It truly is as simple as that. We wish many blessings upon each of you in these coming, extraordinary times. We offer this body of work in service to assist us, each, individually, and collectively, to enter these new times of Awakening to our Divinity, Beauty, Power, Joy, Abundance, and Well Being. We are here to assist you, in private and group practice, as we enter more fully these incredible times of Change, Transformation, Awakening, and New Being. Many blessings to all.
