Pentecost

Oh where do I begin? Have you ever had a moment when you felt a change occur right throughout your body? This was not a change because I had taken a drug. This was a change which occurred at every level of my being and if the truth be known it effected me in every dimension that I exist in.
Not the way I would normally start writing but I had to prepare you for what actually happened and if I did that by just telling you then you may not have realized how big it was. I was about to walk outside with my iPad and begin writing for the day when all of a sudden my body began to shudder. It lasted only for a few seconds, during which time I experienced an energy enter my being. It was not like I was possessed or anything like that. It was more like an energy from without released something inside me. While I was experiencing the transformation a word appeared in my mind and the word was Pentecost. A word which I had heard before because of my Christian upbringing, but not one I was full au fait with. It was weird but at the same time uplifting. I felt like my whole being had been transformed and somehow uplifted beyond this earthly dimension.

Moments later it was all finished and I was left euphoric and confused as my ego mind tried to understand the experience and hold onto it. But like all mystical moments it did not last and soon I was even doubting that anything had even occurred.

I opened up a page to write but there was nothing forthcoming. I even tried to edit some existing work, but nothing. Then I thought about writing out a parable or two to keep my conscious mind busy and allow what ever was happening to take care of itself. But I could not even copy pages from a book.

I sat there for a moment wondering what to do or if there was anything I needed to do to understand the moment. As I sat there in the front garden reflecting on what I had experienced another thought briefly entered my mind; it was to read.

I fought the thought for a moment, but it was only a moment, for the longer I had been on this spiritual the more I began to listen to these little voices and the quicker I responded to them.
I opened the kindle on my iPad and scanned what books I had to read. I downloaded a couple of books a week and in some cases I never read them. I usually read when I need a break from writing. As I scanned the titles to see if any caught my attention I was shocked to find that one was titled 'Pentecost.' My body began to shudder again and within a millisecond the energy returned and I could feel it through my whole being.

When I came back from where this energy took me I quickly googled the word 'Pentecost.'  I was shocked when I read that it was the Christian festival celebrating the descent of the holy spirit on the disciples of Jesus after his Ascension. Shocked because I had just returned from Central America where many people had the belief that we were going to ascend after the end of the Mayan calendar on 21/12/2012. I had never really believed in Ascension and was drawn to lands of the Maya, not in the hope of ascending, but because I knew there was a once in a twenty six thousand year alignment between the sun and the centre of the galaxy and I wanted to be at the sacred Mayan site Palenque when it happened. Not so much because I thought something would happen, although I was hopeful that something major would happen. But I knew if anything was going to happen it would be far more subtle and it would be something that would take years, possible decades before any massive changes would occur or so I thought.

It was during a ceremony when we were at Palenque on the 21/12/2012 that I first saw a vision that I now believe was the opportunity to bring in the new world age.
As we stood in the circle to celebrate the solstice and the end of the Mayan calendar, the rains began to fall and when I say fall it was like the gods were emptying every last drop of water from the sky upon our head. Palenque was definitely the water element aspect of the Five Cities of Light and we were all experiencing the element in all it's glory. Amazingly not one person broke from the circle as ceremony continued; funny how each time a new person came into the centre to lead another part of the ceremony, the rain just got heavier. We stood there for hours getting drenched in the Element of Water and not one person complained or showed their frustration. The negative emotion of the Water Element person is frustration and although we were being challenged not one person showed the least frustration. They were all being challenged by the element and each and everyone of the circle seemed to be able to step above the emotion and see the beauty of water for what it provided. For without water there would be no growth, no life.
When the ceremony was finished most of just laughed and like children we splashed our way around Palenque, enjoying the water falls that appeared on the temples and the rivers that were flowing through the site.
Aluna made the comment that we were here to create our new selves, that our old selves would not be taken into the new world which we and others were creating. As usual my inner self always like to make a physical statement when there is a new teaching for me to learn. It is always great for my story telling but sometimes it gives me wonderful challenges and opportunities for change. When we arrived back in villa after walking the few kilometres from Palenque the first thing I noticed was that there was not one thing that I was wearing or had in my pockets or in my backpack that wasn't wet except for my IPad. Seems that God still wanted me to write.
When I took out my money much of it looked like it was actually made from water and I attempted to squeeze the water out of it and then tried to dry it with a hair dryer. Strangely two weeks later some of the money was still wet. Worse than that was my passport which resembled a sponge and when I looked at the passport photo it looked like my face was dripping away. So much for creating a new me; even my passport was expressing what was happening in the inner worlds.
When we were be drowned in Palenque I had a vision of the two pyramids joined at the base, one pointing into the air and the other into the ground. Inside the two pyramids was one sphere which seemed to fill up the space. Also in the pyramids and I believe emanating from the sphere was what I could only describe as coloured lightening. The lightening was flicking at the sides of the pyramid and each time it struck the sides of the pyramid, the pyramid seemed to lose its shape, not collapse but to be able to morph or change its shape.
Over the next couple of days every time I closed my easy I would see what looked like stone heads come rushing towards me. Over time these heads started to come alive and appeared to be trying to communicate with me. I was a little too thick to understand what they were communicating. When we were in Tikal I meditated in front of the jaguar temple. One minute in and the faces started to come again but this time it was only one face and it kept telling me to be open as it had information for me. To date the only realization I have had is that the pyramid in Palenque was some type of a doorway.
After having spent 30 plus years on my own journey I was quite used to the odd mystical occurrence but since Palenque or 21/12/2012 they seem to have been speeding up.
After what I will call the Pentecost incident I went for a walk through the streets around my home to understand what had happened to me or was still happening to me. While still in the euphoria of the feelings and trying to hold onto the memory of what happened, my attention was drawn to a red car which was parked off to my right. I looked at it out the corner of my eye and the rear passenger door appeared to go all weird and the metal seemed to break down into swirls of colours. I turned towards the car expecting the experience to have disappeared, but to my shock it was still happening. I walked closer to the car and observed the effect for a few more seconds before it disappeared and reestablished itself as a red car door. It was weird but not unusual as I have seen this breaking down of matter a number of times in the last few years. It just seems that since 21/12/2012 things are happening a lot more often.
I can only wonder what will happen over the next three years when the sun breaks through the influence of the dark rift that it has been crossing for the last 30 years, funnily enough about the same time that my spiritual journey began in this lifetime. The end of 2012 was for many seen as the end of a major cycle and the beginning of the next age of man.
What I believe is more important is what we do in the next three years before the sun moves out of the dark rift in 2016; for as we are in the next three years will have a major impact on the next 5,125 world age. It is daunting but also a wonderful challenge to think that what we do in these next three years will set the stage for what happens in the next world age which officially began on the 22/12/2012.
Not only do I believe that it is important for each of us to continue on our own spiritual journeys, but we need to be available to support others on theirs. This is not in the way of telling others what to do because we are all here at this time to experience our own journey. It is important to respect the journey of others and not infringe as we have no way of knowing what they have come here to learn. At the same time if they ask for your help, give them all you have and allow them to take what they need and continue on their journey.
My old teacher said it was the time of the quickening and for those who have the eyes to see or the ears to hear you can see this quickening in every aspect of our lives.
One of the reasons I have been feverishly writing my new book 'The Way of the Initiate - The Legend of the 33rd Sage,' is because I wanted to offer through story a simple guide to help others on their journey. It was also written like a parable with children in mind because I believe many young ones who have incarnated at this time are here to experience this quickening and be the leaders in the early years of the next world age. Unlike some of us they do not have to spend thirty or forty years to reawaken their spiritual beings. Many have come ready to hit the ground running, so to speak, and what they need is parents, teachers and mentors who understand what is occurring and can support them on their journey.

Blessings and Peace and may your connection with the higher self bring a smile to ever cell in your body and reflect it in the world around you.
