The time draws near for what many have sensed since incarnating into our Universe. Everything that has a beginning has an end only to be renewed again into a higher octave of life with a whole new level of experiences.
When we all decided, as a complete consciousness, to come into this Universe we also decided our timeline and when it would be renewed. This time is now fast approaching. The feeling we have as we get closer to our allotted time is the quickening. We all feel it. Some feel excitement while others feel much fear. Those that feel fear are the ones with much to let go. They know that their time is getting short to accomplish their chosen soul goal. Those that feel excitement may also feel some apprehension due to not clearly knowing what will happen. But they trust their intuition enough to know that what will happen will be in accordance to their soul contract. Mother Earth is also going through her quickening. She, along with all upon her, decided as a group consciousness that this is our time to move into our destiny.
We see signs of the quickening worldwide in Mother Earth (increased earthquakes, volcano eruptions, increased weather phenomena, etc.) and in all the creatures upon her (increased disease, anxiety, increased drug use, etc.). The more we try to hold on to the old ways (greed, service to self, etc.) the more chaos, destruction, and disease will occur. This is the reason why we all have agreed to the Gathering.
At a specific point in time, chosen by us all before the creation of this Universe, we decided to awaken and usher into existence a new and loved-filled reality. This new "world" will have us being able to commune with all that is around and within us. This includes those in the physical as well as Spirit. We will be communing as one consciousness intimately connected with the entire Universe as well as with Spirit.
To begin the process we must first come together as one and begin to share what we know with others so they can grow in Spirit. Spirit then will share with us what it knows. In sharing we each other we all grow in Spirit and help the Universe move into its next level of awareness.
So now, being a servant of Mother Earth, the Universe, Spirit, and All That Is, I put out the call to all Light Bearers to begin to hold Sacred Circle Gatherings in your homes, your towns, your cities, and any place you feel is sacred to all that attend your gathering, and set the intent to first connect with all on Mother Earth, with Mother Earth, and with Spirit. Once connected, intend to connect as one Global Consciousness to Universe and send a message to the Universe so all will know that we are here, we have accepted our destiny, and we are now ready to rejoin our brothers and sisters in our Universe and fulfill our destiny to become universal beings once again. The time is now.
Namaste

Antahkarana Healing and Meditation Symbol
Antahkarana is an ancient healing and meditation symbol that has been used in Tibet and China for thousands of years. It is a powerful symbol in that simply by having it in your presence, it will create a positive affect on the chakras and aura. When doing healing work, it focuses and deepens the actions of the healing energies involved. When meditating with the symbol on your person or close by, it automatically creates what the Taoists call the great microcosmic orbit wherein spiritual energies travel up the spine, over the crown chakra, then down through the front of the body to the root chakra and back up again continuously moving around and around. This action balances the chakras and prevents excessive energy build up in one or more chakras.
The Antakarana symbol will also bring to balance any imbalanced energy that has collected on objects such as jewelry or crystals by placing the object between two symbols. The energetic effects of the Antahkarana have been confirmed over and over by the improved results noted by those using the symbol and by clairvoyant observation by those trained in sensing changes in the aura and chakras.
Clairvoyants and mystics, both past and present, describe the Antahkarana as a part of the connection between the physical brain and the Higher Self. It is this connection that must heal and develop if we are to grow spiritually.
The Antakarana is also multi-dimensional. From one perspective it appears to be two dimensional, being made-up of three sevens on a flat surface. The three sevens represent the seven chakras, the seven colors and the seven tones of the musical scale.
From another perspective this symbol appears as a three dimensional cube. Its energy moves up from two to three dimensions that can be seen and continues up through unseen dimensions all the way to the highest dimension - the dimension of the Higher-Self.
The Tibetan meditation practice that used the Antahkarana took place in a room lit with candles. In the middle of the room was a large earthenware vessel shaped in an oval which symbolized the cosmic egg of the universe. The vessel was filled with several inches of water and in the middle was a stool. On the seat of the stool, inlaid in silver was the Antahkarana symbol. One wall was covered with copper that was polished to a mirror finish. Tapestries which displayed symbols similar to the symbols used in Reiki were hung on the opposite wall. A Tibetan Lama meditator would sit on the stool and gaze steadily at the image of one of the Reiki-like symbols reflected in the polished copper mirror. This yantra meditation would create a single point in the mind of the meditator, uniting the consciousness with the transcendental energies of the symbol reflected on the polished copper while the Antahkarana symbol on the stool would focus the energies generated and cause them to evenly flow through all the chakras and to connect with Earth.
It is clear that the Tibetans did not originate the symbol and there is no written record as to its true origin. However, through clairvoyant perception the symbol was first given to the people of Earth during Lemurian times over 100,000 years ago. Current clairvoyants and mystics say that the Antahkarana was created by a counsel of Ascended Masters who are watching over the evolution of the Galaxy. They also say that the people of Earth were in trouble and needed help in re-establishing their connection with the Higher Self. It is said that the Ascended Masters created the symbol and using a decree, imbued it with its own consciousness. Now anyone who uses it will have the connection between the physical brain and the Higher Self strengthened. It is the Higher Self that creates and guides the benefits of the symbol and that is why it can never be used for harm.
Directions for Use
The Antahkarana is a special symbol that has its own consciousness. It is the image of the printed symbol that creates the effect. It works directly with your aura and chakras and varies its healing effect depending on what you need at the time of use. Since it is directed by the Higher Self, it always has a beneficial effect and can never be misused or used to cause harm. The symbols can be placed under a massage table, or under the bottom of a chair or you could sit on them. They can also be placed on the wall or they can be held against your body with the print facing the area that needs healing.
Use in Meditation
You can meditate directly on the Antahkarana by gazing steadily at it with your eyes relaxed, gently brushing away any thoughts that may come up. With continued practice the image may begin to shift and change or to fade in and out, or it may disappear completely. This is good because it indicates you have entered a deeper level of meditation and are receiving greater benefit. Do not allow this to disturb you. Continue your steady relaxed gaze. You may even begin to see pictures in front of the image that are very pleasant and relaxing. A single meditation with the symbol will be beneficial during times of stress; however, regular use is best. Setting aside 10 to 30 minutes each day for meditation on the Antahkarana works well. The value you receive will develop along with your mental clarity and a sense of peace and security will stay with you throughout the day.
Uses of Each Symbol
There are several variations of the symbol. The large single symbol is more female and creates its healing in a gentle way healing the female energies of both men and women. The female symbol is more compassionate energy as well. The smaller single symbol is more male and has more assertive and direct energy. This symbol will focus and penetrate and will heal the male energy of both men and women. Use your intuition in deciding which one to use.
The Cosmic Cross is made of seven symbols crossing each other. This represents the seven major chakras. This symbol will purify your energy and can be used to open the heart. The square multiple symbols, made of sixteen male or female symbols, will break up blocked and congested energy, and get stuck energy moving. This symbol can also scatter your energy so it is recommended that you follow its use with the single male symbol to create centering and grounding. Use your intuition to determine if the female or male Cosmic Cross is needed.
Experiments
The Antahkarana symbols lend themselves easily to experimentation so allow yourself to be guided to new uses. Some people have silk screened them onto t-shirts; others have placed a small wallet sized image in their shoes (to help them run faster and jump higher). You can also tape a wallet sized image - using surgical tape over a chakra or over an area that is weak or in need of healing and it will immediately strengthen the area.
A Meditation using the Antahkarana Symbol: The Microcosmic Orbit Meditation
Place the Antahkarana symbol under the feet when doing this meditation. It is a modified form of the Taoist Microcosmic Orbit meditation. The microcosmic orbit is the circular pathway of energetic flow in the body, also known as the ‘Circulation of the Light’. The energetic points can be equated to the major chakras and this meditation is designed to open and clear the chakras, creating a clear pathway for higher frequency energies as they are brought into your system.
It will allow these higher energies to be fully assimilated and prevent problems caused by too much energy in the head or other parts of the body. It will also purify and/or release from your system any negative energy you may have released that were stored within yourself or that you may have attracted. By circulating your energy, lower vibratory energy is released from the chakras and may even be transformed as it passes through them. This happens automatically as you circulate it.
The Microcosmic Orbit Meditation
1. Hold your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Picture the Antahkarana symbol at the Sacral (navel) Chakra and hold your attention there for about 30 seconds to several minutes. Next, move down to the Root Chakra and do the same. Next, proceed down, around and up to the backside of the body to the Root Chakra and do the same. Do this for each chakra point along the spine to the top of the head then down the front of the body on each chakra point ending at the Sacral Chakra. This technique will open and clear each chakra. The energy running through each chakra point and back to the starting point is considered an energy circuit.
2. After opening and clearing the chakras, visualize running white light around this circuit for several minutes or up to half an hour.
The circuit always begins at the Sacral Chakra and then travels down the front and up the spine as this is the natural flow of energy throughout the circuit. The emphasis is on the dynamic flow and circulation of chi energy, so in this meditation the chakras themselves are not of major importance and are considered only energy points within the overall microcosmic orbit. For your convenience, the various Antahkarana symbols are provided in this article. They are very powerful so be aware of their potential when performing healing work on yourself and others.

Consciousness Evolution through Leafy Examples
By Rev. David-Uriel Ibarra, N.D., CHt, CBT, RMT
February 15, 2012 (original post: September 1, 2010)
Being such diverse and individual creatures on this beautiful planet, can we truly become one, along with Mother Earth, so we all can evolve? This will depend on choices made by the individuals still holding on to the idea that they are individuals at all levels of body, mind, and soul. A good place to begin seeing that unification is possible is by observing all the diverse foliage on Mother Earth.
As we look around and observe the various flowers, plants, and other vegetation, we see that there are many different species, all requiring different needs for them to survive on Mother Earth. This is identical to our human species… very diverse and requiring different needs to survive on Mother Earth. The various plant species are very expressive in their own way. Some express in color, others through smell, and others through shape and size. Our species, again, is identical in that we express ourselves in a multitude of ways, i.e., art, culture, foods, religion, etc. We can go on and on with the similarities but the point is that our plant friends appear to be identical in expression of life as the human species except for one very important difference… EGO!
In the plant kingdom, although knowing that they are individuals physically, plants know that without an energetic and spiritual connection to Mother Earth, the provider of their home and life sustenance, they will not survive and evolve along with Her. Contributing to the whole global consciousness, along with respecting and following the ways of Mother Earth, assists the plant kingdom to move forward in their journey of life with Mother Earth. Within this dance between the plant world and Mother Earth there is no ego involved to influence the plants to the idea that it is an individual and that it doesn’t need to contribute to the global consciousness. A reason why the ego does not influence the plant kingdom as much as it does the human species is that it’s possible that plants came into this universe as a group consciousness at a level different from the human species. This does not mean that the plants are higher or lower in consciousness evolutionary scale then we are. It just means that they have a different life contract then the human species.
We, on the other hand, came into this world as individual consciousnesses, in which we allow the ego to influence us much more easily because it’s only one consciousness as opposed to many consciousnesses working as one. As we allow the ego to influence us into thinking that we don’t need to be connected to Mother Earth and contribute to the global consciousness we further ourselves from Her and in the process move away from other living beings, including the human species, as well. This action sets into motion dis-ease between the human soul, the physical body, and Mother Earth. Evidence of this is seen in the increase of prescribed medications for emotional conditions and physical ailments. We don’t see this kind of dis-ease among the plant kingdom or the native people of the world who live in harmony with Mother Earth. The only time we see dis-ease in the plant kingdom and in the native people is when Mother Earth is going through her life changes and/or when those influenced by the ego create a climatic situation that causes Mother Earth to go into distress (ego + greed = BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico = climate change).
So here is what we know so far. The ego appears to influence individual consciousnesses much more easily then a group consciousness based on the life contract of the consciousness. It also appears that the human species remains connected to Mother Earth and can be a contributor to the global consciousness when ego is not involved with the day-to-day activities of the individual human consciousness. Finally (this will somewhat put the ego at ease), although we are physical individuals with many expressions identical to our plant family, we are all one in Spirit through our physical and energetic connection to Mother Earth.
However much influence the ego places on the human species to think that we do not need to be connected to Mother Earth, the connection with Her will always remain. The difference between us and the plant kingdom is that some of us choose not to contribute to the global consciousness, which then creates dis-ease between the human soul, the physical body, and Mother Earth. We can still be individuals physically in our expression of life. But when we do not contribute to the global consciousness and remain in harmony with Mother Earth, we become disconnected from Mother Earth and become asleep to Her needs. These actions also lead to chaos and dis-ease to those asleep as well, which creates dis-harmony with Mother Earth and her life journey. Our future as a human species is dependent on us remaining connected and being global consciousness contributors to Mother Earth as She evolves to her next level of expression in body, mind, and soul (Gaia).
After all is said and done, and the battles between ego, our life contract, and our souls have all been but eradicated, take solace in knowing that although we are individual souls physically within this Universe we are all ONE in Spirit eternally within and without this Universe. To be ONE in Spirit with Mother Earth, let’s follow the example of our leafy friends. Their example will and shall be our salvation.
Blessings and Peace Profound.
