CHAPTER 14

RE–CONNECTIONS   

               

MEETING THE NINE

On her way to meet the guest speakers, Lydia rang her best friend. ‘Hi Sally, How are things’?

‘Well I’m fine thanks Lydia, but Richard’s in a bad way. As you know he came back Saturday night and it seemed to do him good, but he is back in the dumps again, anxious all the time about the show being axed. When will he start to see this is something huge in the world and much more than the show’?

‘I know, it’s hard for him, and for you too, seeing him suffer, but it must be part of his path and he will wake up soon, he cannot fail. He’s still in the old world of fear which prevents him for perceiving the new world becoming visible. He is being looked after though, like all those in the world who are still asleep. Serena said to tell you not to worry, everything is in hand. We shall keep sending him love, knowing that all will be well’.

‘I will Lydia, I know you are right. When I join in the meditations and watch the show I have no doubts at all then. This morning I felt like a different person, more alive and happy than I have ever felt in my life. The meditation filled me with an energy that was out of this world.  I just know that whatever is happening to us in the world right now is beyond anything we can understand from our ego selves, that cloud our lives with negativity, stress and worry.’ 

‘I know, it’s unbelievable Sally, I am absolutely stunned with what’s happening. I shall ring you later to tell you about the things I remembered this morning. I know this is an overused phrase but I am completely in Awe. I am on my way to meet the nine who are going to come into the House to share their knowledge and initiate us all into the mysteries. These secrets  have been passed down through generations of Avatars until the masses were ready to harness their huge collective power, now being purified of contamination and abuse by the new Light. John informed Serena that these nine people represent all the millions of Pioneers who have been returning to enlighten consciousness since time began. The nine are already spiritual leaders in their own right, and have been so in many lifetimes, leading and guiding Humanity both from the higher realms when replenishing in Spirit, between living their many lifetimes upon this earth plane. Apparently they have always known that during this lifetime they would fulfil their divine destiny to help people ‘Come through’ and enter the New World, prophesied as the Golden Age and now manifesting.

Even though we know this was the plan it still amazes me that all these people are here in this country right now and are going to fulfil their final mission, televised live to the world on the Reality Show.  Although after remembering what I did this morning, I shouldn’t be surprised at all, but I am still in awe of it all!

Lydia reeled off their names.

Sally had heard of some of them and was delighted. ‘Oh my God Lydia, I know you said the show was big but this is going to be out of this world! The Dalai Lama! He’s wonderful, I Love his warmth and humour, oh I can’t wait to see him. And all the others are so well known in spiritual circles. Who would have thought they would be on our reality show?’

‘I know! it’s unbelievable. Aren’t you glad we are doing another series now Sally?’

‘Well, six months ago I certainly was not, but that seems like a lifetime ago now. I can’t believe what we’ve come to know and experience. I’m glued to the set. Richard is very perplexed at my sudden enthusiasm for the show. Poor love, he really doesn’t get it yet.’

‘I know, Hannah told me he’s driving everyone crazy at work. Perhaps it’s meant to be and he shall wake up watching the show live, like everyone else.’

‘Thanks Lydia. I do Trust and shall keep detaching from the negativity’.

They ended the call, agreeing to have a daily catch up, as things were moving so quickly now.

Lydia was beyond herself when she entered the room where the Dalai lama was in Silent Retreat, in preparation for his visit to Britain’s most Sacred and most powerful Pilgrimage, known as England’s Jerusalem. The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham was another very important and significant place in the Dalai Lama’s world tour to visit sacred sites where the Divine Mother was being honoured anew, in a New Light of re-dedication.

He had made an exception to see Lydia, knowing intuitively that this meeting was another important part of the reason he was here in this country. Lydia entered the room which was beautiful in its simplicity. Stepping into His Holy presence Lydia was enveloped in Love and Compassion, filling her whole being with Peace. Coming face to face, she was overcome by his humility, making her feel she was the most special person in the world to him. Silent tears rolled down her cheek. He looked into her eyes, bowed and smiled, and as he did a spontaneous and joyful giggle erupting from both of them, which evolved into a delightful belly laugh.  It spoke volumes – It was enough – there was no need to explain her mission to him – Love and Light was his universal language.

She invited him onto The Reality Show, and without breaking his vow of silence, he gave an enthusiastic nod of his head, agreeing without hesitation to enter the House. On a piece of paper he wrote the request to have the last session after all the other guests, as he wished to remain in silent meditation for as long as possible before his pilgrimage to Walsingham. Lydia happily agreed, telling him that it would be at the end of the following week. She explained that there would be a morning and afternoon session, Monday to Thursday, giving all the other eight guests a three hour session each. As The Dalai Lama had chosen to be last, he could, she informed him, have as long as he needed on the Friday. The synchronicity of the dates was not lost on His Holiness. He realised that his pilgrimage to the Holy Shrine at Walsingham, arranged months previously, just happened to be the day after he would be appearing on the Reality Show, and incidentally both were being televised live.

The audience at large would soon see synchronicities happening all the time on the show, the plan was written in the Stars.

His Holiness bowed his head and placing his hands together in a prayerful manner, he looked at Lydia with compassion and gratitude. She responded in kind, and in the twinkling of an eye, their Souls connected in the Oneness of Divine Love and Purpose. Lydia left the residence feeling she could fly. And fly she did!

Lydia’s welcome into the home of Gill Purce and Rupert Sheldrake was joyful. The house was filled with extraordinary paintings of indigenous lands and tribes, accompanied by captivating sounds of drumming and chants. It was a thrilling experience of beauty and sound, but the presence of these two people was astonishing. Although not visible to the physical eye, Lydia could feel the light around them and later she would describe them to Sally as a ‘Golden couple’. Gill recognised Lydia immediately, not only because she was a TV presenter but also because she had attended one of her courses recently on healing the ancestral line. The women hugged and Rupert welcomed her with open arms. Both of them were true pioneers and had spent their lives researching and bringing a new vision and a new consciousness through their separate, but unifying, creative gifts. Gill was known and respected all over the Globe for her transformational work. She ran workshops and retreats, using the voice, chants and meditations to connect people to their higher resonance, with which they could heal ingrained, destructive, patterns of behaviour. Gill had spent her life teaching, and receiving sacred voice with its many frequencies of light. Now cleansed, these empowered people would help others to awaken quickly to their higher selves, simply because they were radiating the collective consciousness.

Rupert, an eminent scientist, specialising in biology, was known worldwide too. He was at the cutting edge of a new science that saw the universe and the laws of nature, not as fixed and unchangeable, but as energetic entities that were alive and evolving with purpose, much like, and definitely in tune with human consciousness, existing in and out of time, space and matter. Rupert had written many books which encouraged open enquiry and his life-long work was gaining momentum amongst the new generation of young scientists now ‘coming out’ and agreeing that there was also a dynamic creative force at work underlying the so called fixed laws of nature. The Secret History had espoused mind before matter, stating that imagination was the key to open the doors to new enlightened perceptions. Indeed the new generation of scientists, the young light bringers, were expanding their horizons across discipline’s, sharing ideas with philosophers, artists and creative’s on their quest to prove the connectedness of everything in existence. Science and Spirituality was becoming a marriage made in Heaven as the new Golden Age Scientists were quickly becoming the Mystics and Magi’s of the New World.

The Holy Grail, the unified theory of everything, was becoming a reality in which the creator and the created would become One in the evolving path of Light consciousness, which was filling the space between us and rising at the speed of Light.

Lydia had already become a fan of physicist Nassim Haramein, who, like Einstein, believed in the unified theory of everything. Lydia had watched many of his inspiring YouTube’s.

Everything was connected, the dimensions, light frequencies, atoms, neutrons, cells, nature, Mother Earth, mountains, the planets, Sun, Moon, the Stars and now Humanity was connected to answer the call, thought Lydia, as she waved goodbye to Gill and Rupert, knowing they would make a huge contribution to the reality house sessions.

Her next meeting with Shirley MacLaine and Amara O’Brien was another joyful and fascinating event. Lydia was delighted that these two extraordinary women seemed as delighted as herself that they were going to be guests on the reality show. They asked Lydia about the others and Lydia gave the names of the seven she had been given, adding that she was still waiting for Serena to inform her of the final two. Shirley and Amara looked at each with a knowing smile.

Lydia loved the energy between these women and with the enthusiasm of a star struck fan, she asked them endless questions, all bubbling out, without taking a breath; how they knew each other, for how long and why they were in London right now and did they know about the huge changes coming, and the role of The Reality show in awakening humanity? Lydia could hardly contain herself.

Shirley began with as much enthusiasm as Lydia but trying to be succinct without losing the amazing joyful revelations they had experienced in getting to this time. ‘Well, I have danced throughout my life, starting young with ballet, which has remained a huge passion of mine. I always try to catch a performance wherever I am in the world’

Amara chimed in. ‘That is how we first met in 1986. I was a young dancer with the Alvin Ailey’s American Dance Theater in New York and I accompanied them to Copenhagen for the World Premier of ‘Witness’ which I was watching in the wings and Shirley was watching in the auditorium.  We met later backstage both in a state of bliss after the captivating solo performance of ‘Witness’, telling the tale of a woman’s spiritual journey based on, and accompanied by traditional African spirituals recorded by Jesse Norman. It was exquisite and deeply moving. What a way to meet!

‘Yes indeed’ replied Shirley with emphasis, remembering the elation of the night. ‘And not only that but as soon as we met we had the instant joyful recognition of Souls who have come together to perform a shared mission on earth’

They continued telling their story to a fascinated Lydia who was wide eyed, listening to their story. Although Lydia knew lots about Shirley, she knew nothing of Amara.

Amara was happy to enlighten her. Born in the early 60’s to an Irish mother and African American father, laughter, dance and mysticism were in her blood. Brought up happily in a lively household and close community in New York, she was encouraged to follow her dreams to become a ballerina even though it would be difficult as they were not wealthy and she was black. But with the wonderful opportunities Alvin Ailey’s theatre company gave her, along with her indomitable Spirit, her dreams came true and it was soon after, in her mid twenties she met her Soul Sister and travelling companion.

From the moment they met, Amara and Shirley were compelled to follow their Soul mission, travelling together around the Globe to places of highly charged spiritual energies where they communed in silence with Mother Earth, the land, the Mountains and the waters, to experience the local culture, especially traditional dance, songs and sounds, which embodied the Spirit of these Sacred sites.

Their first trip was within a year of their first meeting and turned out to be the most significant spiritual event, not only in their lives, but also significantly, it was a huge springboard for humanities mass awakening in years to come. It was 1987 and Amara and Shirley were together on Mount Shasta to welcome in The Harmonic Convergence with John Denver, Timothy Leary and thousands of seasoned pioneers, reincarnated time and time again, to prepare the way for the higher frequency new kids on the block, who came in their thousands too.  Shirley, a reincarnated pioneer, and Amara, a first timer, born in the sixties, were made for each other, not only in aligning their own personal energies, but also in heralding in the alignments and convergence between the dimensions, the planets and heaven with earth, As Above-So Below. 

On the day of the Harmonic Convergence millions around the world in Sacred places, including Mount Fuji and Glastonbury, would become One intentioned Body of Light. It was the first ever Synchronised Global Peace Meditation but it wouldn’t be the last!

For the next 33 years, millions would become billions, meeting for Synchronised Global Peace Meditations in silence, sacred sound, music, chant, songs, dance and words, becoming exponential in their magnetic light energy. The annual International Peace Day and International Healing Sound Days had become huge in increasing the Light Communion Global gatherings for decades now. Books, films, religions, science, technology and philosophy was reflecting the enlightenment too.

By 2012, the New Age was the fastest growing movement in the history of the world. The evolution of Spiritual consciousness was now in the ascen-dance. Humanity was making the decision to start the return journey back upon the Continuum of Light from whence we came.

In 2020, 33 years after the first Harmonic Convergence, a huge Wave of Light would sweep through the world of matter, filling every cell. Everything and everyone on this planet would start to Let Light, Let Love and Let Power to Restore the Plan on Earth, whether they were aware or not, simply because this Wave had been called here by the Intention of Awakening people coming together in Peace, Love and Oneness to save the world.   Finally, in 2022, technology had connected humanity all around the world, in readiness for the reality changing event, televised live.

Here and now in London, Shirley and Amara shared with Lydia why they were here. Getting to this point had been a ten year journey of amazing revelations and now they were here because two young people had requested to go to the Ballet in Covent Garden.

The long journey of revelation with these two children started ten years before in 2012 when they visited a yoga retreat in the foothills of the Himalayas. One evening their Master Yoga Teacher approached Shirley and Amara, asking if they would meet with him in private when the rest of the group had retired.

Later the women entered the yoga room where the teacher was waiting with a lovely young woman they instantly recognised. They greeted her now as they had done every morning, smiling and bowing their heads with prayerful hands, when she entered their room to clean. The Master introduced Lhundup as the young mother of two exceptional children, twins, a boy Nyima and a girl Pema, both aged 8. He informed them that since they were toddlers, Pema and Nyima, had accompanied their mother every Saturday to the retreat for change over day. Lhundup would clean and prepare the rooms for the new arrivals whilst the children would sit watching the Yoga teacher in the great hall, also preparing for the next retreat. Unusually for children so young, they were very peaceful and meditative and they would watch intensely all the moves he made. The Master told Lhundup that he believed the twins had been born awake. It came as no surprise to her.

The teacher enjoyed the children’s presence because they created a beautiful energy far beyond anything he could do alone. His retreats went from strength to strength, thanks to these two remarkable enlightened children who set the scene every week for his new arrivals. Neither the children nor the clientele knew anything of this empowerment, but the Master and the Mother were very aware of the miraculous effects these two children had on the environment. From the beginning Pema and Nyima had watched mesmerised, soaking up every move the Teacher made and over time started to join him in the ceremony. Eventually, by the time they were seven years old the three of them were in perfect harmony in the sacred movements, finishing in the Lotus position, equidistant from each other in a perfect triangle, sitting in the Lotus position deep in meditation for hours.

Outside in the village they lived an ordinary life, playing and laughing with their friends, never mentioning their extraordinary Saturdays.

By the time Shirley and Amara visited the retreat in 2012, Pema and Nyima were leading the Master into realms of love and spirals of light he had never known in his long life, but he knew he had to keep these ceremonies secret, until he met Shirley and Amara and saw their Radiance

At the end of the retreat when the others had left, Shirley and Amara joined the twins and the Master in the great hall for the new Yoga, where they experienced the Bliss so other worldly they were unable to speak for hours. They were the only people who were initiated into these secret ceremonies and every two years they returned to visit Pema, Nyima, their mother and the Master to experience the exquisite movements followed by Holy stillness, which was growing in Blissful empowerment year by year. As it did, Amara and Shirley were growing in Love, Light and Power with every trip too. The four adults knew intuitively to protect these special children until the time was right for their gifts to be shared. They knew they had to wait for the children to tell them when and where.

Then just a three months ago, the call came from Lhundup to say that Pema and Nyima, now 18 years old, had requested their patrons come for them to bring them West.

Shirley and Amara brought them first to America where they asked to go to Alvin Ailey’s American Dance Theatre in New York. They attended every day for weeks, mesmerised as they watched training sessions and ballet performances, soaking it all in as they had when they were young with their Yoga teacher. Every night the twins would spend hours alone in the  dance studio Shirley and Amara, now more like honorary grandmother’s,  had booked especially for them.

Then out of the blue, just six weeks after they had arrived in America, following a pilgrimage to Mount Shasta with Amara and Shirley, Pema and Nyima asked to leave for London to see the Ballet in Convent Garden, and the process was repeated all over again. 

‘So, you see Lydia, it was the twins who decided where we would be at this time. In fact they are at a dance studio right now doing their secret work, which we haven’t yet seen’ said Shirley. ‘So’ added Amara, excitedly, ‘we suspect you may have your final two guests for the Reality Show’.

At that very moment two elegant young people entered the room laughing, having obviously enjoyed themselves. There were introduced to Lydia who immediately liked them as she looked at their beautiful open faces full of smiles. As they hugged her, Lydia was entranced with love and lightness, leaving her in no doubt what she had to do.

Amara explained to Pema and Nyima the reason for Lydia’s visit and the invitation for her and Shirley to be guests on the Reality Show. Lydia quickly came forward to ask them if they too would like to come onto the show?  In unison they replied ‘Yes we would’ accompanied by a smile that conveyed they had been expecting her. Lydia left feeling more elated with every meeting. She knew these people in her heart so well, although she had only just met them. They were family re-unions like no other. 

She headed to the car, switching on her mobile and dialled Jonathan Goldman who had left a message. He was held up at the studio where he was producing and recording an ancient chant with the Dalai Lama’s chanting Gyuto and Gyume Monks, accompanied by the Orchestra of The Age of Enlightenment. He apologised that he wouldn’t meet Lydia today but he was very happy to come into the Reality show. They arranged the date for his session the beginning of next week and she was delighted to hear the Monks would come too.

Lydia set off for her meeting with the ninth and final guest, who was yet to agree to enter the house, but she had no doubt that Eckhart Tolle would go into the show because everything he taught was in line with all that was going on in the house.  He had been visiting friends in London and was intrigued when he received a phone call asking if he would meet with Lydia, the presenter of the new reality show. Interestingly his friends had persuaded him to watch the TV the night previously, something he hadn’t done for years, but he agreed to please them. They switched on the Big Sister Reality show and he raised his eyebrows, making his friends laugh. They held his surprised gaze, with a look of ‘just you wait and see’  Eckhart watched fascinated as John, without a word, took everyone, the contestants and his friends watching, into a heightened state of awareness. He too experienced the Oneness coming through the screen, the Oneness he had become very familiar with in his own life, after his awakening, and he felt contented.

He had felt the shift in the world a few days before when he had first arrived in London and he was expectant of something big, but this was sooner than he thought.

Lydia waited in reception until Eckhart came out of the lift and greeted her warmly, shaking her hand. She looked at his lovely face with his lopsided smile, a gentle Soul with a quiet demeanour who was warm hearted, funny and authentic to his lovely bones. She had watched hours of his wonderful and helpful YouTube’s to the point that it felt like she was meeting a favourite wise uncle. They sat down together over a cup of tea and had a lovely natter about her family, his wife and where they lived. They both loved gardening and they shared the flowers and shrubs they loved to grow. Meeting him was like Lydia had just put on her old, favourite snuggly cardigan, all warm and familiar, and one she would never throw out. They didn’t mention the reality show at all until he looked across at her and said, ‘I would be honoured to come in’ They arranged the time and day and said good bye, parting with a feeling of  great warmth and reverence with what was to come.                   



CHAPTER 15

                  HEALING THE WOUNDS                    


Following the powerful early morning meditation and breakfast, everyone scattered to do their own thing until they would be called back to take part in a workshop called Healing the Wounds, which Serena informed them would involve healing their ancestral bloodline’s and dropping their own experiences of hurts and grievances. It was only then they would be able to ‘Come Through’ into the Radiance that was their Higher Self.

Paige had had a lovely morning, helping prepare breakfast, chatting happily with the group then having some quiet time in the Sun Room reading the Blue book.  It was so different to the previous Big Brother Reality show she had been in when there had been constant rows, nastiness and factions ganging up on each other. This Big Sister group were becoming more harmonious by the day and Paige was feeling happier than she had ever felt in her life. Paige had a particular close bond with Star and they laughed a lot, especially at Dex who played the fool for them and had some great one-liners, an accomplished Liverpudlian gift. She trusted all these people not to turn on her, in fact they seemed to really enjoy her company and respect her contribution to their discussions. In this rare atmosphere she started to blossom and come into her own, happy in her own skin and, as always, seeing the best in everyone.

They were all preparing for the session when Big Sister’s voice requested they return to the quiet room in 5 minutes for the workshop.

Paige quickly picked up the Blue Book again, closed her eyes, and asked for an insight into the workshop.

Opening the book at random, Paige found the writing strange, old fashioned and difficult to understand but the accompanying comments made by the 20 year old Serena  helped a little.

 

 11- 02-1980. 

 Read this today from a book about Madame Blavatsky and the Theosophist Philosophy.

 - THE REAL H. P. BLAVATSKY. By W. Kingsland

There is a law in Occultism which has been ascertained and proven by thousands of year’s experience; nor has it failed to demonstrate itself in every case, during the years that the Theosophical Society has been in existence. As soon as anyone pledges himself as a 'Probationer,' certain Occult effects ensue. Of these the first is the throwing outward of everything latent in the nature of the man; his faults, habits, qualities or subdued desires, whether good, bad or indifferent. 

For instance, if a man be vain or a sensualist or ambitious, whether by actavism or by Karmic heirloom, these vices are sure to break out, even if he has hitherto successfully concealed and repressed them. They will come to the front irrepressibly, and he will have to fight a hundred times harder than before, until he kills all such tendencies in himself.'


This is so relevant to the struggles I am facing with my ego right now. I am becoming more aware of my anger, judgemental attitudes and prejudice, especially towards people who judge others in a poor light. Talk about a mirror! I am just as bad in judging them.  I can be self righteous!  Joshua  just popped into my field of consciousness and asked that I look at myself and others with compassion and understanding. He said to look for the light in ourselves and others rather than focusing on our flaws.

‘Define only in Light and be defined only in light’

I shall really try Joshua. S x


Paige closed the Blue Book and made her way to the quiet room. As she entered she felt the beautiful energy of John filling the room and her whole body, even though John was not visible.  Everyone entered feeling chilled and at ease, looking forward to the workshop, although none of them had a clue what a healing workshop entailed.

Playing was Jonathan Goldman’s, ‘Holy Harmony’,  beautiful sounds created by him and Sarah Benson, accompanied by the Sacred words, Yod Hey Shin Vav Hey, a chant of clearing and healing that resonated with the Christ energy. They sat, closed their eyes and without being asked started to chant the words along with the Holy Harmony. In homes all around the country, these sacred frequencies could be heard, which would be reported in the 6 o’clock news, albeit tongue in cheek.

Sitting in the circle the group and the viewers, having stilled their chattering minds, were now in the peaceful resonance of their own inner Christ consciousness, a crystal clear state of awareness, receptive to receive the ageless wisdom.

Serena began the words she received from John:-


‘All that exists is light, sound and frequency. Everything in existence, including human beings, are light particles held together in an electro-magnetic field. This field is alive and resonating with all that is in existence, including our chattering minds, our thoughts and behaviours, honed by our experiences and ancestral legacies, including our desires, loves, hopes and fears. Running parallel and accessible to us is a higher resonance that is beyond the transient personality and ego identity, where our silent observer exists, pure and aware.

Our minds and bodies are like radios, crystal sets, from which we can tune into different wave lengths. More often than not though, we can get trapped in a habitual frequency where our negative thought patterns trap us. All words and emotions have a magnetic field too. The more we repeat these words and sentiments in thought, attitude and speech, the more we hypnotise ourselves into staying on the same wave length we are most familiar with. Thus we behave like robots, mindlessly following ingrained patterns of behaviours, attracting the same scenarios, self fulfilling our expectations and repelling new ways of being. But occasionally, usually because we are fed up with the same old patterns, negativity and trauma in our lives, we send out a magnetic call for change and start the journey out of the doldrums.  But the most transforming energy of all is the power of Love, the highest positive energy there is, from which we start to count our blessings, change our usual programme and perceive a different consciousness, a lighter and higher perception of the world, waiting to be embraced.

It is then we finally leave behind the wounds in our ancestral blood line, as well as our personal hurts that have ‘held us’ in a lower frequencies of matter, simply because our higher selves are resonating on a higher frequency of Light. So healing does not come from focusing on healing the wounds, but rather, concentrating on being the love within us, which knows no wounds, blame or pain.

We do this by meditation, prayer of intention and gratitude, sending love and light down the lines of all our human connections, to ourselves, to mother earth and the animal kingdom. Starting with imagination and intention, shall lead us to making it a reality.  It is then we become open to receiving higher energetic frequencies of Light that exists both in and out of time and matter. These energies expand our awareness and connect us to others on the same wave length who have also let go. The more awakened people are, the more the higher magnetic energy increases, which attracts and awakens those still in the doldrums. It is on these light lines which we imagine sending light that spirit and angelic forces exist just waiting for us to tune in and to perceive them. When we do, we become the synchronistic energy itself, co creating with the higher dimensions, and attracting everything we need to finally let go of our lower selves. The more we become aware of this higher guiding energy, miracles will occur in our life, eventually becoming second nature and every day events. All we have done is set our antenna, our tuning fork, at a higher frequency where Love resonates. It is within us, silent and waiting to be recognised. This divine spark is there eternally for everyone. John would like to reveal how this higher energy has operated in your life and how you were led to make change  leading you to come on this reality show, where you will be receptive and awaken to your mission which is simply to be the light, the love and the power’


Although everyone responded in varying degrees of understanding and acceptance of John’s universal field, Jock was still resisting change, afraid to let go of his deeply ingrained habitual and defensive nature, so familiar and safe. His closed and dogmatic ways soared when he heard words like, miracles and divine, triggering his usual knee jerk reaction. Crossing his legs and folding his arms across his solar plexus, he let out a loud, impatient sigh, leaving no one in any doubt. Every cell in his body screamed out ‘Bullshit!’

Undaunted, Serena continued, ‘The most recent book you have read was guided to you by your synchronistic energy of your higher self, being at one with spiritual entities who wait to be called upon. There are no accidents. Everything is the Science of light and power of attraction. Whatever we do on a personal or collective level we are searching for ourselves. Everything we create on the physical level is revealing who and what we are. We are hard wired to awaken, and throughout our lives we create and draw to us whatever we need to reveal ourselves in our infinite light. Would everyone share the book you have most recently read?’

The first to respond was Dex, who knew he would get a laugh, especially from Star who held on to his every word. ‘Well, I don’t think you will find anything miraculous or spiritual about my reading material Serena’ He paused for dramatic effect, smiled at Star and in his best Liverpudlian accent, emphasising the rhyming title, he said , ‘I have just read My Bookie Wookie’.

Everyone laughed including Serena who responded, ‘Don’t be too sure about that Dex. Anyone else wish to share’?

Rachel stood up, intuitively feeling a respect for what she was being asked to consider, especially since her most recent read, featured miracles quite a lot.

‘I was given a book as a birthday present last month and it was not one I would have normally bought, although it did make me think quite a lot.  It is A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson and is an account of how she overcame her struggles and addictions by embracing the principles set out in The Course in Miracles which was written in the 60’s by a Jewish, American psychologist, who wrote stuff she didn’t even believe in herself. I think it was called automatic writing’

‘Bollocks’ muttered Jock under his breath. Again everyone laughed.  Not by intention Jock was becoming the comic of the group. Rachel laughed, knowing that just a few weeks ago she too was cynical.

The laughter gave Star the confidence to speak, admitting that the most she read was Hello and OK magazines. Paige jumped in giggling in agreement and said, ‘me too, but since coming into the house I have been reading Serena’s Blue Book and you’ll really like it Star. I will lend it you’

The girls had made an immediate bond on the first night and their friendship was visible for everyone. Strangely it made everyone feel good, including the watchers.

In a very different vein, Ishmael was the next to speak. A serious man with a sharp intellect he had attended Sussex University and had a huge interest in quantum physics. He also read The Koran every day and was very open to accepting angelic intervention. He found no problem with integrating these two seemingly incongruous passions.  He constantly reflected upon theoretical scientific and spiritual enlightenment. ‘I am presently reading three books, The Lightness of Being , The Koran and The Hiram Key. Interestingly, they all deal with the underlying principles and foundations of being in existence’ He sat down, having succinctly delivered what he was asked to do.

Always theatrical and wearing his trademark black kohl eyeliner and spiked purple hair, Damian stood tall and slender, proudly giving off a mysterious demeanour . Dramatically throwing his cape over his shoulder he informed the group, ‘I am reading one of the most important books of the century, about three giants of occultism (At least that was what he had read in a review on the internet.) The book is ‘Three dangerous Magi’,  and they are,  Osho, Gurdjieff and Crowley. ’ Sitting down with an exaggerated knowing Look, he felt he had impressed and intrigued every one with his secret esoteric knowledge.

The last three were all reticent; Jock because he didn’t want to show he was in any way involved or interested, and Andy and Goz because they knew the material they were reading would ‘out’ them.

Feeling Goz and Jock’s discomfort, Andy, forever thoughtful and aware of the needs of others, stood up to give them time.  Taking a deep breath, Andy shared some of his truth.

‘Apart from The New Testament which I read daily, I have been reading a book about ancient cave drawings in France and Peruvian art, which is fascinating’ 

Unable to lie but not wanting to reveal his secret, Andy didn’t tell the real reason for his fascination with Peruvian art which were painted by Shamans under the influence of ayahuasca, sacred plant medicine. Having said more than he wanted to already, he sat and smiled at Goz, sensing she too was being put on the spot.

She remained seated and without qualifying, quietly stated that she was reading ‘Abduction’ by John Mack, hoping they would think it was a novel.

Silence followed, so Serena went next, leaving Jock to the last.

‘I usually have a few books on the go and the most recent books that were led to me to further my spiritual awakening were The Tree of life and the Holy Grail by Sylvia Francke, which is a wonderfully researched book about the Cathars, the knights Templar, and the Rosicrucian’s spiritual paths regarding The Holy Grail, including the writings of Rudolph Steiner. The author also sheds light upon the Mystery of Rennes - Le - Chateau which got the world interested when Dan Brown wrote The Da Vinci Code.  I am also reading The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, an excellent book of food for thought’.

Jock raised his head at the word delusion and thought, ‘You said it missus’ 

All eyes were on him now and knowing he had to say something,  but not wanting to comply and in his taciturn way decided not to reveal the title. It was none of her bloody business. He quite liked Serena and he had seen she was a good woman, but he hated religious mumbo jumbo. Bloody Spirit mentors! Well that was just taking the piss. Looking straight at Serena, he made his point.

‘I read European, American, African and Australian history. Colonialism and religious fervour has ruined the lives and cultures of millions of indigenous people who managed perfectly well and survived a lot longer that we ever will!’

‘I totally agree Jock’ and with that Serena wheeled out a book case. To everyone’s dismay, there on the shelves were the very books they had all been reading, including the unnamed book of Jock’s, ‘The Sixth Grandfather’ which was a verbal history of the rich culture and medicine ways of the Lakota people before and after colonisation. Black Elk, an Oglala Holy man had dictated his experiences to a John G. Neihardt, white brother, Black Elk named ‘Flaming Rainbow’.

Everyone crowded around to look at the books and Star noticed there was even a Hello and OK magazine.

Serena called a break. Over tea and biscuits the group spent the next fifteen minutes discussing how Serena knew what they were reading. Paige and Star had no problem believing in Angels and Spirits, but the consensus was that there was something funny going on.

‘So how did she know?’ asked Goz. ‘They must have been in our homes’ answered Dex. ‘Or worse still, they have put devices in and we are being spied on!’ added Rachel who was a bit prone to suspicion, having spent years looking over her shoulder. Damian put on his knowing mysterious  look and suggested, ‘Probably remote viewing.’

‘For God’s sake, it’s  a f.....g publicity stunt’, spluttered a red faced Jock, bringing the speculations to an end.

Standing apart a scared Andy just listened. He had had too many unexplained experiences just lately and was beginning to feel very uneasy. If only he could return to his uncomplicated Faith he thought.

Returning back into the room the group found their own reading material placed on their chairs. Serena asked them to hold the book they were most drawn to, close their eyes,   and say a silent request for a message that would further their spiritual awakening.

Jock placed his head in his hands and groaned loudly, sounding like a moose. He jumped up and with long strides left the room. Rushing into the bathroom, where no one would follow him,  he heard Big Sister asking him to speak with her.

Five minutes later he was back as though nothing had happened. Agreeing to give it another chance, he had until tonight to decide whether he wanted to leave. But secretly he was enjoying the experience after years of routine and aloneness.

Serena nodded congenially to Jock and continued. ‘Divination is one of the oldest forms of making connection to spiritual energy that awaits our request. Ask and you shall receive is another way of putting it. The message you are about to receive shall be for your highest good. Please hold the book you have chosen with the intention of receiving a message, open a page at random. Let your eyes fall upon the words that are meant for you’

Everyone including Jock followed the directions and started to read. The room was silent for some time while everyone realised the significance of their unique message.

‘Please write down the message. You will know intuitively where the message starts and ends. You will find paper and pens on the table by your beds.  Please take time to reflect and return after lunch at 2 pm with your insights’

Lunch was a quiet affair with many of the housemates choosing to find a quiet spot in the garden or on the bed.

For Paige, Star, Damian and Ishmael, the experience was a pleasant one, but for many it was an exercise that opened up wounds they would rather not face. For the remainder it was going to be the very thing they would rather suppress. 


ISHMAEL'S DIVINATION

Oddly, Ishmael chose the book he wouldn’t have chosen to read, The Hiram Key by Robert Lomas. His partner was a Freemason and had asked him to read it to get his views. He had speed read it, but having no interest in the Masons he had to admit he hadn’t really given it his full attention. Fobbing his partner off with a few indifferent words, he was now being made to look at it again with new eyes, albeit only a paragraph. He opened it at random and read,

How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it.... In this materialist age of ours, the serious scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people. Has Freemasonry developed a way of conveying this deep spiritual insight- the insight that Einstein calls the third stage of religious experience’ P.244.

Without thinking Ishmael lifted the second book ‘The Lightness of Being’ by Frank Wilczek, and opened it at random where his eyes fell upon a verse;

Neutrinos they are very small. 

They have no charge and have no mass 

And do not interact at all.

The earth is just a silly ball

To them, through which they simply pass.

Nevertheless, by heroic efforts experimentalists have been able to study the properties of neutrinos in considerable detail.

The Core was happy with zero neutrino masses, which fit into its structure very naturally. To accommodate nonzero neutrino masses we must add in new particles, with exotic properties, for which there’s no other motivation or evidence. When we extend the Core, to make a unified theory, things will look very different. Then we’ll recognise the new particles as kin of those we know - Prodigals returning home, completing the family. And their exotic behaviour will hint of adventures in far off, romantic locales. P.168.

Ishmael was astounded at the synchronicity, not only of the content from the two books out of a possible 600 pages, but also in choosing these two statements that ran seamlessly together to provide evidence for his ultimate search in integrating science and religion into a unified theory for oneness in everything. There had recently been an announcement that they had found evidence for the Higgs Boson, commonly referred to as the God Particle and he was very excited.


RACHEL'S DIVINATION

Opening her book, Rachel's eyes lit upon a paragraph and she read again from A Return to Love. She hadn’t remembered reading this bit and yet it was so significant for her.

'The ego is quite literally a fearful thought. As children, we were taught to be 'good' boys and girls, which of course implies we were not that already.

We were taught we're good if we clean up our room, or we're good if we make good grades. Very few of us were taught that we're essentially good. Very few of us were given a sense of unconditional approval, a feeling that we're precious because of what we are, not what we do. And that's not because we were raised by monsters. We were raised by people who were raised the same way we were. Sometimes, in fact, it was the people who loved us the most who felt it was their responsibility to train us to struggle. Why? Because the world as it is, tough.  P. 133. 

Rachel had been loved though. She thought about her loving parents and the suffering of her ancestors. All they wanted was to protect her and make sure she would never have to go through the atrocities they had. They had clung together for security, trying to keep safe and away from people who would demonise and scapegoat them for all the wrongs in their world. Most people had never suffered the fear and humiliation the Jews had, including herself. She was still in turmoil, worrying about her family and what her resentment had made her do.  But she was also in turmoil with heartbreak, for her own loss of the man she loved.  She prayed for peace of mind, feeling powerless in that moment


DEXTER'S DIVINATION

Dexter sat opposite Star who was sat with Paige laughing and enjoying doing their exercise together. Hardly taking his eyes off her he opened BOOKIE WOOKIE 2, at page 6 ;

‘I often query the significance of sexuality in my pursuit of success. Is that what’s compelling me forward? What’s getting me out of bed in the morning? Back into bed at night? Is that what’s keeping me in bed hour after hour with strangers, exchanging the baton of my lust as they pass beneath the sheets in the relay of my needs? Olympic promiscuity. The carnal flame forever burning.

Dexter read the sentence three times and wasn’t sure whether the message was in favour or not.


GLORIA'S DIVINATION

Gloria closed her eyes and prayed to something greater than herself to guide her, just as she did at the AA meetings. She cried at seeing the words of John Mack and felt his compassion, although he was dead. She cried with the relief of finally being ‘outed’.  She had wanted to talk to someone about it but she had never felt safe enough. Now she had no choice , much like the abduction experiences when she was a teenager.

She opened JOHN MACK’S ABDUCTION at P. 399

‘My own impression, gained from what abductees have told me, is that consciousness expansion and personal transformation is a basic aspect of the abduction phenomenon’.

Gloria looked forward to having help from John and Serena in understanding what John meant.


ANDY'S DIVINATION

Andy did exactly as Serena had suggested, closing his eyes and asking for a message, not something he would have done just a week ago, but he was changing fast and a little out of control. He opened Supernatural. Meetings with the ancient teachers of mankind at p. 658

SHAMAN PRIESTS

‘Let me be clear again what I mean by shaman priests, since I know that the term is an anthropological contradiction in terms. My focus is on the role of altered states of consciousness in the origins of religion, in the cultivation of authentic religious experiences, and in the inspiration of religious imagery’

Dear Lord Jesus, Please help me, prayed Andy as he realised that he would have to explain why he had divined such a message.


SERENA’S  DIVINATION

‘We need no bloodline, no United Europe, or united anything else that has been imposed externally. For although we have been isolated from the spiritual world since the Fall we can now find our way back as individual human beings, by resonating to the Christ event two thousand years ago as a personal inner experience. In this way we form a different ‘community’ built according to the impulses of individuals interacting through common humanity. We can then begin to create foundations for the New Heaven and Earth which will be the next incarnation of this earth planet –the New Jerusalem. P. 190 the tree of Life and the Holy Grail. By Sylvia Francke.

Serena looked around at everyone and she could see they had had enough for today, especially Jock.  it was huge stuff they were dealing with.  she suggested they all take themselves off and chill.  they could resume tomorrow to gain insights and reflect from their divinations.

As soon as he left the room Jock suddenly started with a migraine, something he had suffered since a child when he felt powerless. There were many things coming up for him.  He needed to sleep and recover. 

Most of the group decided to have a lighthearted evening playing charades or listening to music.  


LYDIA'S DIVINATION

Lydia arrived home after her meetings with the guests who would come into the house, feeling very tired but happy.  When the children were in bed and Terry had gone into the gym, she put on the recording of Big Sister.  She enjoyed the divination and decided to do the same with her book.  She opened The Divine Mother White Eagle at page 75

'...you will remember that this is not only a christian but a universal message which has always been rung out over the world, proclaiming with joy that the son of God is born again.  This is the ancient wisdom the foundation of all religion.  The Sun Gods are great ones born on the earth with a special mission.

Lydia held her belly and whispered to her unborn child, welcome to earth and to your mission.


SALLY'S DIVINATION

Lydia rang Sally to see if she too had divined?  Sally had and was amazed with the message she had got from The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell.  She read the message to Lydia:-

‘My God, there’s Babbitt. That’s the man who never followed his bliss. You may have success in life, but then just think of it – what kind of life was it? You’ve never done the thing you wanted to do in all your life. I always tell my students, go where your body and soul want to go. When you have the feeling, then stay with it, and don’t let anyone throw you off.

What happens when you follow your bliss? You come to bliss.

Sally couldn’t wait to follow her Bliss to France. 


CHAPTER 16

CERN, GENEVA


As if by an amazing coincidence, at the very same time Serena was informing the group in the morning session regarding light particles, synergy and exponential light waves, world leaders, defence, security and top particle and astrophysicists were meeting in CERN.   Just 24 hours earlier an emergency top secret meeting had been called comprising the best of the world's astrophysicists, internal intelligence and defence services.  The mood in CERN was sombre, not only because most were exhausted with anxiety and jet lag, but also because they had been told about an impending catastrophic event which was about to hit the earth.  Political differences were irrelevant as they entered the conference hall and sat in front of a huge screen.  Unlike any other meetings there was little social interaction or hospitality.  

With a brief introduction from the convener of the meeting, the lights dimmed and the DVD entitled 'REVELATION' was allowed to speak for itself.  The film gave them all the technical information they needed. As the lights came up at the end of the film the ashen faced convener said ' This could be devastating for life as we know it'.  On hearing the potentially life threatening information, the atmosphere in the room of fear, foreboding and hopelessness was tangible.  

The film informed them that for many years astronomers had been observing an astronomical anomaly, in the form of a luminous celestial body in the far reaches of the universe, that did not conform to any known celestial phenomena. It was first observed by Edwin Hubble and Milton Humason in 1922. There had been little worry however then, as it was stationary relative to earth, and even if it started to approach earth at 1/10th  the speed of light, it would take 6,000 years to reach us.  Those calculations had now been revised.  The assembled scientific, security and intelligence delegates looked up as the President of the Royal Institute and a leading Astronomer approached the podium.

'Good day, I would like to welcome you all to CERN and thank you for attending at extremely short notice.  To put it bluntly, we on earth, appear to be facing a potentially devastating threat to life as we know it, of unknown origin, and approaching us at unprecedented high velocity from deep space. 

We do not know how to assess the nature of this threat, or how to deal with it.  Hence this gathering of a wide range of specialists and leaders from all over the world.  In recent days the celestial body has started to expand at a phenomenal rate and is gaining momentum as it draws closer on its direct path to earth. The speed is becoming exponential and defying time/space/continuum and relativity. Almost hourly the velocity is increasing by an order of magnitude.  Scientists are working together to gauge what might be the implications for earth when it arrives.  We have determined that this luminous object, if it continues on its present velocity and expansion, will intersect Earth's orbit within 18 - 23 days. 

A day of confused and frustrating debate followed which left none of the delegates any the wiser as to the nature, structure or composition of the observed light body or the threat imposed to the Planet.

They returned home not knowing what the next three weeks would bring, but one thing they did know,  it was now more important as never before for all scientific nations,  friend or foe, to pool their knowledge and resources and work  together to identify the threat and produce a strategy to protect the planet. They were all sworn to the highest secrecy, any hint of this situation could not be allowed to come into the public domain. 

On arriving home, they would have to explain to their loved ones that they were required to move into their laboratories and observatories until further notice for whatever reason they deemed fit. They left home not knowing if they would see their loved ones again. The highest levels of encrypted communication channels would be initiated between nations.  There was to be an information lock down.

Significantly, the time the light phenomenon was first observed to be expanding and moving towards Earth, coincided with the first meditation transmitted live on air on the first Saturday of the Reality Show.
