[Changing Planet]: powerful star alignment: Jan.14 - 21'01 Data: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 STAR ALIGNEMENT - WHAT'S THE MEANING? A very auspicious time will soon be upon us, as a magnificent and powerful star alignment moves into position and unleashes its impact upon spiritual potential. This letter is written that as many souls as possible might to ask that you make every effort to spread the word. I have just returned home to the US from a 7-week journey, most of which was spent in the monasteries, temples, and ashrams of India and Nepal. This trip was extraordinary, and represented a major transit in my own progression of awakening... Feeling reborn into a new state of being, I am eager to immediately pass everything on to each of you through the transmission of light and love that the Teachings of Wisdom offer us. One of the significant revelations that I received is the occurrence of the upcoming star alignments that will herald a major gateway of spiritual progression for initiates and seekers worldwide... This gateway will take place for one week - from January 14th through January 21st. For tens of thousands of years, this gateway has been awaited and prophesied by the Vedic sages. It is an opening that will make manifest the turning of the Great Wheels of Time, as we move beyond the dark influences of the Kali Yuga and emerge from the grasp of past solar karma. As the sincere seeker offers up the open book of the human heart for healing and ascension into the higher realms of being, divine response will be accorded exponentially... This spiritual gathering of all gatherings, the Maha-gathering of our time..... will soon commence. A great congregation of our planet's true illuminaries will occur as the sages, masters, yogis, pundits, and nirmankayas come down from their sacred abodes throughout the Himalayas. Some will come by foot, traversing the high passes of the Himalayan range, descending from the most remote regions of India, Tibet, Nepal, Burma, Bhutan, and Sikkim. Some will teleport and simply appear out of the ethers, seemingly emerging from thin air into the crowds that will be gathered. Entire groups of nirmankayas will suddenly appear, manifesting through their lightbodies.Together this mighty and majestic conclave will move into the rhythm of the Vedic chants and ceremonies of the ancient of days on the banks of the revered Ganges, at the convergence of three sacred rivers, in the holy city of Varanasi, India. The three sacred rivers represent the causal spiritual streams of Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma, the three aspects of God Consciousness through which enlightenment and co-creatorship is achieved... Untold numbers of holy men and women are expected to gather, perhaps more than half a million. The Himalayas are now literally buzzing in anticipation as representatives from all the mystic traditions in the East, prepare to join together in a massive invocation for enlightenment and liberation.The Ascended Masters of the Brotherhood of Light will be represented in full force, as the Divine Corridor is ignited at levels of manifestation never before attained. This gathering of illumined saints and sages in Varanasi happens every twelve years on a smaller scale, however this year represents a specific and extraordinary star alignment that occurs only once each 144 years. The sequence of 144 years is occultly significant in and of itself. This most powerful high holy week is called Maha Siharshrum Kumba Shalela. To be gathering at this specific time, in spiritual invocation and unification, with our planets Masters and Illuminaries will be nothing less than phenomenal. If ever there was a fertile moment in history to gather together in group formation this is it! Astrologically, the sun will be making a transit from the south node to the north node, which energizes the progression from the past to the future at solar levels of karma. This is big, much grander in the cosmic scheme of things than we can really understand. It has to do with everything that humanity is or ever will be... The south node represents where we have come from and what we have learned from that journey. The north node represents what we aspire to and where we seek to be. Many sages of the eastern traditions resolutely believe that gathering in conclave during this star alignment assures enlightenment in this lifetime. The fact that it is seven days in length is occultly significant as well, regarding the attainment of all seven dimensions of human divine development. During this most auspicious gateway, the mantle of planetary guardianship will be passed from the East to the West for externalized manifestation. The Oath of the Nirmankaya will be taken by many, many souls as an undeniable fact of planetary progression. The initiates of the West will now be made ready to fulfill their destiny. The time is now! This celestial gateway will provide the impact of cosmic impulse at a level of power and light that can truly penetrate the density that has hampered the progression of the human spirit. A full eclipse in the sign of Capricorn will also take place which will offer a primal surge of influences that bring thought, aspiration, and all manner of spiritual longing into manifestation... There will be no better time in this century to move forward on the path and to put into vitalized motion your souls higher purpose. This will be a potently auspicious time to seed and sanctify new creations, projects, and endeavors of both personal and collective intention. I cannot find words to truly emphasize the spiritual opportunity that the Maha Siharshrum offers us. Initiatory ascent in the revelation of the higher thresholds of consciousness will be at an optimum... Author Unknown
