These are special days to begin or continue our work in Sacred Alchemy,
 the Transformation of Consciousness.
It is time we come forward to touch and sustain our Greater Sanctity. 
The Elders of all cultures are telling us the time is now, we have entered the Illumined Doorway: 
We must utilize our abilities to move into heightened & ecstatic states of awareness
to fully bring the world into its own natural and evolutionary state.
May the gifts of the season raise your awareness and offerings to others in the path of awakening.

THE SIDDHIS, The Illuminating Power of Consciousness; Feb 2, 3, Ascutney VT

• Save up to $45. by registering at our early discount deadlines Dec 13 & Jan 5.

• This program offers an explicit meditative technique which opens one's potential for accelerated learning of the inner skills of mastery of one's subtle senses known as the "Siddhis."  It involves "seeding" of our psychic centers with power phrases which assist in this accelerated opening and empowerment.
• The Siddhis are the powers of psychic sensation, such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, etc.  
• This is my own personal meditative practice of choice, thus I highly recommend it to others.  It is a powerful practice, which stems from oral traditions of Hindu lineages, and is passed to me via my teacher, Tom Kenyon, an advanced master of alchemical traditions, and sacred sound.

Additional Information is at: http://thecenteroflight.net/Siddhis.html

ISIS:  THE HIDDEN TEMPLE, A Call to the Heart of Humanity; April 19-20, 2008, Huntington VT, Early registration discounts
                    Teachings on the Sanctity and Authenticity of the Human Heart

• This program will entail disciplines in High Egyptian Alchemy and Personal Transformation:
  
• Exploring the inner secrets of the heart, the Secret Chamber of the Heart;
• Moving in the world with an open heart, Entering the world in loving relations;
• Accessing, receiving, exuding, and being in, the unconditional love of the Great Mother;

• Isis brings forth deep awareness of the Open Heart, and how to move in the world with an Open Heart.  Her initiations and transmissions of crystalline life force into the innermost chambers of the heart, sheds one of the inhibitions to enter the world in loving integrity, enabling us to more fully embrace the Divine within each of us.

• Isis is often accompanied or preceded by Magdalene.  Both have been a guiding force in many practices we have been engaging in recently, from the Easter services of the 7 Keys, and Meeting Our Divinity (2007), to the Seed Activations at Stonehenge and Avebury (also, 2007). 
• Magdalene often calls us into deeper work, as a lineage holder of Isis.  Isis carries the wisdom and sanctity of our true heart, gifting us with her dearest blessings for our attainment.
• Yeshua also calls us with Illuminations and Initiations into the ChristHeart, the seat, and seeding of, illumined consciousness of the principals of Universal Love held in the Christ Consciousness.
  We will join in World Prayers and service during this practice.

THE POWER OF SEKHMET:  THE SACRED CHORD

• Perceiving Harmony in the Pathway of Our Existence
• April 5-6, 2008:  DALLAS, TX, Early Registration discounts for Feb and Mar 2008.

• Sekhmet holds key elements of illumination in the understanding of how to awaken, hold, and sustain illuminated states of our being.  In this time of universal awakening of the human spirit, she is a profoundly powerful ally for embodying one’s fullest integrity, authority, and Divine Wisdom.
  
• It is most beneficial to be mindful of our actions and experiences in the world, to bring our current state of being into the harmony and alignment with the higher state of harmony of all Creation, and that which we would expect to see within our true nature, and Divine self.  
• Sekhmet is an aspect of our consciousness which is able to empower us with Authentic Being, which brings the fruit of this understanding.  She carries a key to the Sacred Chord of our being, which can be utilized for activation and harmonization with all Creation.
  
• Sekhmet is a force which fiercely protects the inner holy ground of one’s true Divine nature and being.  She makes a powerful and nourishing ally in our journey toward deeper illumination of the nature of self and the Cosmos.

• See http://thecenteroflight.net/SekhmetII.html for full details.
