Be a Buddha: This is our key theme and focus starting today, Monday, March 1, 2021, and continuing for one week. Via our spinal column/cord that manifests our spiritual power of strength-stability-steadfastness, whose corresponding color is lemon yellow, we are going rise to our crown chakra/cerebrum and above it into our I Am Self and light body. Then we will redescend our spine and illumine and enlighten all of our thoughts, feelings, soul memories and physical organs with the new and more powerful strength and stability of our Buddha Nature or I Am Self .
Gautama the Buddha was an incarnation of Sananda of the Seventh Ray, the Prince and primary wayshower for Earth. He lived in the northeastern section of India near modern day Varanasi (see map of India below) from about 563 B.C. to 483 B.C. His father was King Suddhodana of the Shakya clan of Kapilvastu, who was of the warrior (Ksatriya) caste. His mother was Queen Maya. His father named him Siddhartha, which means "one who has accomplished a goal."
Queen Maya died 8 days after Siddhartha's birth, so he was raised by his step-mother whose name was Gautami. Sometime after Siddhartha's eventual enlightenment, in honor of the love his foster mother had bestowed on him, he took on the name of Gautama. This is the masculine version of Gautami, both of which mean "one who dispels darkness or ignorance by spiritual knowledge and compassion." Therefore, in some accounts, he is called Gautama Buddha or Gautama the Buddha.
Enlightenment under the Tree of Life
At age 16, Siddhartha married Yasodhara, who was an incarnation of his twin soul, Sol-O-Man; the name Yasodhara means "bearer of glory." Sol-O-Man means "the soul of man," hence she portrays the Mother, feminine, receptive polarity of God.
Being the son of a king, Siddhartha had everything a mortal man could desire: fame, fortune and power. Moreover, his father, fearing that Siddhartha someday would leave his physical kingdom to seek spiritual enlightenment, as some seers had prophesied, did his best to keep Siddhartha away from any form of suffering, illness or those who were dying or were dead. Despite this, Siddhartha felt a growing emptiness, a dissatisfaction with mortal life, and longed to find the answer to life's mysteries, the Way to overcome and transcend the suffering of mortal life.
Shortly after the birth of his only son, Rahula, when Siddhartha was 29, he left his princely, sheltered life to seek enlightenment in the nearby forests and mountains. For six years, he studied with a number of the best spiritual teachers, but still did not discover the answers he sought. Finally, he decided that he would go directly to the Source, to Father-Mother God (although he did not call Him-Her that).
His deep spiritual awakening and illumination occurred when he sat cross-legged under a huge fig tree, what became known as the Bodhi tree, the tree of enlightenment. This tall, magnificent tree symbolized his "tree of life," like unto the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and in the New JerUSAlem.
Many descriptions have been written about what happened during his enlightenment. However, the overall process and universal experience was given by Lord Uriel, Archangel of the Seventh Ray and thereby Siddhartha's major guardian angel, in a channeling via Nada-Yolanda on June 28, 1968:
"Your narrow and straight path is the spinal column within each individual form, upon which hinge the flesh, the form, the substance and the opportunity for reaching out and beyond the limitations of the form you are aspiring to perfect. It is through this straight and narrow pathway, the spinal column, that you reach out into the etheric consciousness and bring down into the mortal awareness the light that is all around you and in you as one. You go up out of it and you come down into it, all through this column of light. And out through this column of light you reach into the substance or the column of the light body, the Christ, [the Buddha Nature]; which is always with you in all ways, inside and outside of the physical and mortal awareness."
Thus, Siddhartha, after much spiritual training, had the required strength, stability and steadfastness to rise via his spinal column (his spinal cord and vertebral column) into his cosmic identity as Sananda, also called Son-Anda and Sun-Anda. As a result, he radiated the light of the Son-sun throughout his mind, soul and body. He was illumined and enlightened. He was a Buddha, awake in I Am consciousness and aglow with light, love and life.
After descending his spine, and anchoring in this new cosmic awareness, he began his public ministry, teaching the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Middle Way; all of which focused on universal, spiritual truths, principles and laws. For the next 45 years, through all kinds of uplifting experiences and still greater enlightenment, as well as trials, torments and temptations, he steadfastly demonstrated and taught others how they too could experience enlightenment and could become a Buddha.
Enter the Emptiness
Gautama the Buddha taught about and demonstrated the connection with the Mother polarity of God. One of his principle practices was to "Enter into the Emptiness." In other words, he emptied his mind of any attachment to his physical body and mortal self; he let go of any belief or feeling that his physical form and ego or personality self was permanent. Rather, he entered into the Emptiness of the Mother, the Void, the Cosmic Womb in which all permanent things grow and manifest. He was still and knew Mother God.
Gautama also taught and practiced being an an-Atman. In traditional Hindu teachings, the Atman was the term describing the I Am Self, which was a unique, individual creation of Father God. The Buddha taught about the an-Atman, meaning the experience and reality that in I Am or light-body consciousness, the enlightened being is one with all life, and not separate from any of God's creations. In other words, he taught about the Mother aspect or polarity of spiritual, Christ, Buddhic, I Am consciousness. We are dual in our spiritual nature: a unique, individual being, but also one with all other such beings and creations. We thus reflect our Creator, our Father-Mother God.
Be a Buddhi
Some years after Gautama the Buddha had established his sangha, which was his spiritual community of male disciples, he took the bold step to welcome women disciples into this community. Traditionally, women were not accepted as disciples, so although Gautama taught that women were equally capable of becoming enlightened, he waited until the right time to allow them to establish their own order of Buddhist nuns within the sangha. The first group of women nuns was led by his beloved foster mother Gotami. After they were solidly established and accepted, Gautama's wife Yasodhara also became a Buddhist nun.
She became one Gotami's primary cohorts and teachers. When Gotami made her transition, Yasodhara became one of, or possibly, the principle leader of the nuns. In her deep meditations and devotions to the Buddha's teachings, she too attained Buddhahood. She became a Buddhi, which is the feminine version of Buddha. However, in what has become the "official" teachings about Gautama's life, she is labeled an "arahat," meaning one who is highly evolved but has not attained full Buddhahood.
(This is similar to the way in which Catholics currently describe Mary, mother of Jesus. They believe that like Jesus she ascended in her light body at the end of her life on Earth. However, they called this her "assumption," not her ascension. After all, since Catholics and other Christians denominations came to believe that Jesus was the only Son of God, then it was not possible in their minds that she could have ascended. In reality, this attitude of both Buddhists and Christians toward Sol-O-Man/Yasodhara/Mary reflects their masculine bias and their lack of understanding that Sol-O-Man is the twin soul of Sananda.)
A year after Gautama the Buddha's initial enlightenment, he visited his father, mother, wife and son, Rahula. Yasodhara prompted him to ask Gautama for his inheritance. The Buddha replied that he would give his son the the path to spiritual enlightenment, and he took him into his sangha, where he lived for his whole life. Thus, in the sangha were father, mother and son, representing the Father-Mother-Son trinity.
Visualizations and Affirmations
This week in your meditations and visualizations, envision yourself under a huge tree of life, which represents your spine and nerves. Above this Bodhi tree, guiding and uplifting you, are Sananda-Gautama the Buddha and Sol-O-Man/Yasodhara the Buddhi. With them is Lord Uriel, Archangel of the Seventh of Peace, Love and Rest and her angelic co-workers. Jesus' apostle Andrew, who portrayed the power of strength, likewise is one of your etheric helpmates, guides and teachers .
As given in Vedanta, Hindu and yoga teachings in India, at the base of your spine is your fire of life that is called "kundalini." This word comes from the Sanskrit word "kundal" that means "coiled." Thus, kundalini is said to be coiled like a snake when it is asleep or at rest, but with spiritual awakening it rises up the spine, like unto the upper body of a cobra lifting up, opening each of the chakras until it reaches the crown chakra/cerebrum, the 1000-petaled lotus. Thus, kundalini symbolically is called "serpent power." When this "power" or energy rises above the crown chakra, one enters into a state of nirvana or I Am consciousness.
Note that the kundalini is said to lie dormant at the base of the spine. This reflects the ancient fall of a segment of mankind into matter, who in symbolic fashion descended down the spine of the light body into the physical spine of an animal, physical body. As a result, mortal man currently expresses primarily via his two lowest chakras, the regenerative and sacral centers, and his five physical senses. He is asleep in mortal, physical, third dimensional consciousness. (See our Mark-Age text Evolution of Man.)
In a symbolic sense, mortal man is like a snake who crawls on his belly on Earth. However, with his spiritual awakening and rebirth, like a cobra, he rises up the spine. However, I don't know about you, but this imagery of the snake and of so-called serpent power does not inspire me. For it really is God power, not serpent or animal power, that awakens us and lifts us via our spine into I Am, Buddhic or Christ consciousness.
I much prefer the simple, concise definition of kundalini given by Paul the Apostle, an incarnation of Hilarion, Chohan or Director of the Fifth Ray, in his channeling via Nada-Yolanda on March 31, 1968: "The kundalini is the name given to the so-called lower or mortal self as it emerges from the various psychic centers, up the spine--which is the root for all chakras--and out through the top of the head, which is the final outlet for lower self and the final opening for psychic development. Through this center the spirit enters and leaves the body. Through this center we are able to contact your Christ Self."
Moreover, in the 12 Powers approach, the spinal cord and nerves manifests our spiritual power of strength, stability and steadfastness whose color is yellow. Therefore, in your imagery, visualize a lemon yellow light-energy-kundalini power rising up our spinal column and lifting your mortal self to, through and above your head into the etheric realms. Now you are a Buddha or a Buddhi, a spiritually awakened soul who is illumined and enlightened, one who has risen from mortal into immortal I Am consciousness, from your third-dimensional four lower bodies into your fourth-dimensional, eternal light body.
In due time, as guided by Spirit, descend your spine and bring this light and strength and illumination into every one of your chakras and their corresponding physical organs. See yourself aglow with lemon yellow light that shines into your auric field and radiates out into the world, to other potential Buddhas and Buddhis. See the lemon yellow light flowing down the nerves of your legs and out your feet, so that you are grounded anew in the I Am power of strength, stability and steadfastness, with which you are equipped to meet all the challenges and opportunities of being in this world, but not of this world.
As usual, if you are not visually oriented, employ affirmations and decrees to call forth and to experience your ascent via your spine into your I Am Self and light body. Ask Spirit to guide you in the unique ways that you "speak the word" to strengthen your spinal cord and nerves. Remember, too, that such awakening and enlightenment does not happen only in one grand experience or flash of illuminating light, but occurs repeatedly as you evolve via seven major initiations. Time and again, you are "born again" as the child of God that you are, always with greater strength, stability and steadfastness.
Be Empty in the Nothingness
In other meditations, enter into the Emptiness. In other words, instead of visualizations and affirmations, be still and know that you are a beloved son or daughter of our Father-Mother God. Rest in this stillness, rest in the Void or Cosmic Womb. Let go of all your worries, fears, identification with mortal consciousness, with your self-absorption, with your memories of the past and speculations about the future. Have the strength, stability and steadfastness to remain in the Emptiness until you are full with Mother God.
Sol-O-Man/Yasodhara exemplifies this Divine Mother aspect. As Yosadhara, the letter "Y" that starts her name is the same as the "Y" in Yolanda: It represents the emptiness of the mind, the reaching up to the Divine to receive the implantation and eventual birthing of the Buddha or the Christ within us, which descends the spine. On August 28, 1963, Sananda channeled via Nada-Yolanda: "Nada is the opening, or the nothing which is everything, through which divine power and energy manifest all things. It is the womb through which life becomes form and is externalized."
The O in the middle of Sol-O-Man likewise represents this Emptiness, this Mother principle or polarity, for it is empty of everything and yet full of the Mother. So, in some meditations, be one with Sol-O-Man/Yosadhara, as well as Nada-Yolanda, who in one of her past lives was a close disciple of the Buddha. The Mother strength of Sol-O-Man and Nada nurtures and propels your ascent of your spine and your birthing of I Am, Christ or Buddhic consciousness.
Enlighten India
At the end of any of the above meditations or in other meditations later in the week, focus on India. The United States embodies the faith faculty for the whole planet, whereas we can think of India as representing and manifesting the power of strength, stability and steadfastness. Faith is of the positive, masculine, Western, Father polarity; strength and stability are of the receptive, feminine, Eastern, Mother polarity.
Moreover, India is the largest democracy in the world. As of 2021, it has approximately 1.39 billion citizens, whereas the United States has 331 million citizens. In the Western Hemisphere, including Western Europe, almost all countries have democratic governments that honor and express the free will of their citizenry. However, in the Eastern Hemisphere, there is a battle taking place, a War of Armageddon, between countries like India, Mongolia and Japan who promote and practice free will expression, and those like China, Laos, Vietnam, North Korea and Iran whose governments dominate and dictate to their citizens what they are allowed to think and do.
Currently, China is the most populous nation at about 1.44 billion people. However, in two-to-four years, researchers predict that India will overtake China in the number of its citizens.
Whereas India seeks to work positively, peacefully, lovingly, cooperatively and in coordinated actions with its friendly neighboring countries, communist China attempts to dominate and control other nearby nations, as it has in its long history. Moreover, China seeks to become the foremost economic, political and military nation in the whole world; and uses whatever means, positive or negative, to do so. They publicly and behind the scenes distort the truth, steal information via the Internet, and recently denied their prominent causative role in the covid-19 pandemic.
Therefore, focus this week on India, seeing it imbued with the lemon yellow light of strength-stability-steadfastness. Before starting your projections, link in consciousness with Sananda/Gautama the Buddha and Sol-O-Man/Yasodhara the Buddhi.
Unite also with Kut Humi, Chohan of the Second Ray, in his light-body visitations or so-called thought personality as Babaji. On November 6, 1969, he channeled via Nada-Yolanda: "Babaji is my personality projection in the Eastern Hemisphere for indoctrinating the Hindu faiths on the advancement or demonstrations of their doctrines as expressed by Christ Jesus, Sananda of the Hierarchal Board." (See picture of Babaji to the left.)
Call upon Archangel Jophiel of the Second Ray. Rise up and join in I Am consciousness with space visitors from Mercury, which radiates the Second Ray for this solar system. Connect also with Serapis Bey of the Fourth Ray of Crystallization and Manifestation, whose name comes from his last incarnation that was in India.
Link with Mahatma Gandhi, who in a prior incarnation was Jesus' apostle Philip; and with his closest friend and co-worker, Badshah Khan, from the northwest province of colonial India that became part of Pakistan with India's independence in 1947. (See picture to right.) Badshah Khan was a Muslim who taught that Islam was based on selfless service, faith and love; and that true Muslims eschewed violence, as had Mohammed during his days at Mecca. Today, northwestern Pakistan remains a haven for fundamental, Islamic terrorists; a nexus of negativity for the East and for the whole world.
Finally, link with Summalt, who is the etheric commander for the Eastern Hemisphere in the hierarchal program, from his mother ship, spacecraft #7423, in etheric orbit around Earth. In a prior incarnation, he was Peter, the apostle of Christ Jesus who portrayed the power of faith.
Awaken and Illumine India's Government
Begin your projections by focusing on the current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who has been in this office since 2014. See him becoming a Buddha, an awakened and enlightened one. Envision lemon yellow kundalini light rising up his spine and above his head into his I Am or Buddhic Self, what Hindus term the Atman. Then, visualize the bright yellow light flowing back down his spine and along his nerves, strengthening and stabilizing him, bringing him the new insights and inspirations to wisely govern his vast country. (See picture of him to the right.)
Prime Minister Modi is a devoted Hindu. Therefore, do not think of him becoming a Buddhist in a religious sense, but rather of becoming a universal Buddha who transcends religion as it is now practiced on Earth. After all, Gautama was a Hindu prior to his spiritual awakening. The purpose of Sananda's incarnation as Gautama the Buddha had been to provide a simple, direct path to spiritual realization that all could comprehend and follow. Sananda later did the same thing as Jesus when he refined Judaism, reducing its hundreds of Mosaic laws to two fundamental principles: Love God and Love One Another.
As per the 2011 census, the populace of India was: Hindu 79.8%, Muslim 14.2%, Christian 2.3%, Sikh 1.7%, Buddhist 0.7%, and Jain 0.37%. A majority of the Buddhists are Tibetans who have emigrated from Tibet and Nepal since China forcefully took over Tibet. Despite each religion's individual teachings and practices, everyone in all the above spiritual pathways can become a Buddha. In Sanskrit, buddh means "to be awake, to understand, to know." A Buddha is one who not only has Second Ray knowledge and wisdom, but who like Gautama also teaches, practices and demonstrates Seventh Ray compassion and love.
The seat of government in India is in New Delhi in the north-central part of the country (see the above map). Shower New Delhi and all governmental workers in lemon yellow light. See them working with Prime Minister Modi to bring forth new programs that promote healing, prosperity, equality and love to all people of all religious groups in India. See the entire populace being strengthen and stabilized under the enlightened direction and actions of the national and local governments. See the government being a bulwark of democracy in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Focus also on the area in and around the city of Varanasi (formerly called Benares) in the northeastern section of the country where Sananda/Gautama the Buddha and Sol-O-Man/Yasodhara the Buddhi had lived. (See the map above.) See a huge tree of life implanted and growing in that area, one whose limbs stretch out to the whole country and to its neighbors. This is the Bodhi tree, the tree of enlightenment and illumination and spiritual awakening, the cosmic tree of life.
As a result of Sananda's and Sol-O-Man's lifetimes in and around Varanasi, they established a portal of light via which those in the higher planes could inject and introduce into India and the whole Eastern Hemisphere the higher spiritual energies, those of the etheric and celestial realms. See lemon yellow light now pouring down through that portal and being distributed throughout "nerves" to all parts of India.
Visualize the entire country glowing with lemon yellow light, the light of strength and stability and steadfastness, which illuminates the straight and narrow pathway to spiritual rebirth and reawakening. Radiate bright yellow light especially to the youth of India, for 50% of the populace is 25 years old or under. It is the youth who will have the strength, the determination, the steady nerves to spiritually awaken the whole country.
Moreover, many of these youth probably are part of the portion of the 144,000 elect who reside in India. But, at whatever age they are, these Indian souls who have elected to Love God and Love One Another will be the most receptive to your projections of radiant lemon light.
DREAM VISITATION & CONFIRMATION
On February 17, 2021, in a vivid dream/vision, Sol-O-Man appeared to me in her light body, much as she has in numerous such visitations or so-called apparitions to receptive souls around the planet over the last couple hundred years or more. After I had adjusted to her extraordinary presence, she told me that recently she had been able to reach down to and influence and uplift 854 new families. As I was awakening, still deeply in the experience, I thought that she actually had said that she had awakened and enlightened 854 million new families. That was an astounding number!
Pondering this dream communion during that and following days, and wondering which figure was the right one, I concluded that both figures may have been correct. At the time of this contact with Sol-O-Man, I was in the process of writing this blog about India, and had for the last two months been guiding light workers to work with their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren, aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews; in other words with each person's extended family, those who made up their family tree.
Therefore, with Sol-O-Man saying that she had reached and uplifted 854 new families or 854 million new families, she was confirming for me and all who have been working with these blogs that our projections were bearing good fruit. We on Earth might not be able yet to see the changes amongst families worldwide, but from her etheric vantage point she could report definitive changes.
The number of the families is probably not literal but rather is symbolic, as most dreams relay primarily symbolic information. Thus, the number 8 in 854 may represent a new octave in our light work to awaken and heal humanity. The 854 million new families may indicate the work with India that has 1.39 billion citizens.
Moreover, it dawned on me that our projections to India also were radiating into and affecting those in the astral planes surrounding India, hence at another octave or realm of life that is connected with physical Earth life. These astral planes are 100 times bigger than the Earth plane dimension. So, Sol-O-Man, Sananda and all the other coworkers in the higher planes, including angelic guardians and space visitors, were likewise inspiring, illuminating and awakening astral inhabitants/families. This is especially significant because a vast majority of India's current problems, challenges and difficulties stem from the lower astral planes; and are carryovers of karma from the ancient days of Lemuria.
The numbers 5 and 4 in 854 may symbolize that much of the spiritual awakening of families in the astral realms is taking place in the 5th and 4th astral planes. The 5th astral plane is the lowest of the three spiritual planes, the 5th, 6th and 7th such planes. Souls in the 5th astral plane are awake spiritually but may not have much or any comprehension of the overall Second Coming program. The 4th astral plane consists of souls who were good, normal, balanced, loving souls on Earth but were not awake spiritually. So, there may be a huge awakening taking place in the 5th and 4th astral planes.
Finally, February 17, 2021, when I had this visitation from Sol-O-Man, was Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent and this year's Easter cycle that continues until Pentecost on May 23, 2021. During this cycle, we will experience the greatest spiritual influx of higher energies of this whole year, even more so than we felt during the recent Christmas cycle. So, the jump from 854 to 854 million families perhaps indicated, and inaugurated, the start of this Easter cycle, for each of us individually and for the planet as a whole.
West-East Unification
Be a Buddha. Be a Buddhi. Be illumined and enlightened. Be reborn in the light and strength and power of your I Am Self. Then, radiate lemon yellow light to all potential Buddhas and Buddhis in India, so that they may be strengthened, stabilized and steadied, and have a spiritual awakening. Link the West with the East, in faith and strength.
As we see it, so must it be!
