Are We Really Ascending?

On Nov 17, 2010, I got this report in Facebook. You are invited to a benefit program organized by the United Religions Initiative of Southeast Asia and the Pacific (URISEAP) – “Beyond Differences” --an interfaith, intercultural dance and music event, on Nov 27, Sat., 2010.
6- 8 PM, CAP building, Makati City. Featuring Dya Singh World Music Group (Australia) and Uncle Reg Blow (Australian Aborigine). Also dance and music from Bali, Cambodia, Malaysia, India, and the Philippines. This was signed by Ishilta Chasi, our Filipino URI Youth Ambassador. Am making this posting in my website, on the day after I went to see the concert that was performed last night, I will talk about it later.

I didn’t hesitate much, I replied to my young- old soul friend Ishilta, I was attending right there in Facebook where social-networking manifests daily. Then on Nov 23, North Korea began to shell a small island near the border of South Korea, killing two soldiers, two civilians, destroying structures. Tension rose high in South Korea and the Pacific region. On Nov 25, Thanksgiving Day, in FACEBOOK, I started getting messages from the Ascended Masters, to start with Jesus Christ. He goes: I give you many keys on this day to attaining your victory, encouraging you to be at Peace, for truly, all is well under the canopy of Light of your God Presence. Surely, we needed this assurance from Jesus himself, as news continued to warn-- North Korea remained on a provocative stance, as a nuclear-powered US aircraft carrier had steamed into the Yellow Sea to investigate the matter around the area. Now we are beginning to shiver even without snow falling on us. The Ascended Masters message continues: Reminding you of life’s first priority – fulfilling the Divine Plan of your Presence -- Jesus encourages you to give thanks to your Presence for all that Life has given you. (Aside) it’s indeed Thanksgiving Day.

I got thanksgiving day greetings from my friends in the USA, while thinking why does our own small-minded government keep issuing directives to celebrate certain events without including giving Thanks to the giver of Life? It seems, we are absorbed more in an attitude of asking God, gimme, gimme. It appears that this kind of attitude gets us nowhere fast. We keep saying, we are mahirap, and so we are, subconsciously we are claiming it as truth, implying that negativity will get us nowhere. We are not getting enough from the Source because we feel we are unworthy. Gladly, many of us are now emerging out of that box of limitation. We are now feeling powerful from the heart, more expansive, fully worthy to give thanks for blessings that are pouring our way…

On Nov 27, something miraculous was going to unfold in Manila, as a public declaration of URI, United Religions Initiative of Southeast Asia and the Pacific region that we are most thankful to the Source for all the blessings we have received, and continue to receive… Back to Jesus Christ: Give thanks to your Presence (it’s Presence, not some other Name, watch it) Then you will be fulfilled to overflowing with all that is necessary. For giving Gratitude and thanks to your Source primes the pump to allow for the greatest release of that Light into the world. Jesus explains how to bring Joy into your world by accelerating your Heart Flame and by looking into your future and the goal of your Ascension, allowing the momentum of that goal to carry you into the Higher octave of Light of your Presence.

“Communion with God must be a serious endeavor…” Lord Maitreya, June 25, 2004. The Fire of the Ruby Ray instructs you in understanding your true Divinity and ability to reach that Divinity. Don’t stray too long from the altar and the Holy Communion with your God Presence.

From Saint Germaine: The Great Ascended Masters of Love, Light, and Perfection who have guided the expansion of the Light of humanity on this planet from the beginning are no figment of anyone’s imagination. They are real, invisible, tangible, glorious, living breathing Beings of such Love, Wisdom and Power that the human mind gasps at the immensity of it. They work everywhere in the universe with complete freedom and limitless power to do naturally all that the average individual considers supernatural.

In truth, the Ascended Masters have been working by sending us Light, Love, Wisdom, and Power and those people who have responded with great enthusiasm now form the URI Southeast Asia-Pacific Region covering a vast area of the southern hemisphere covering seven countries: Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. In time, there will be more such circles as additional interfaith circles in other countries are in their founding stage and the number is growing. The Cooperation Circles engage in fostering friendships and cooperation between peoples of differing beliefs and practices. Through interfaith dialogues, visitations and celebrations, and through educational programs and the media, they are building bridges of understanding towards just and peaceful societies in the Pacific region. The Pacific Ocean, true to its name, will foster the Peace and Harmony, Light and Love we need to grow to cover the whole world to avert wars like the one that threatens us in the Korean peninsula.

“Religions have not only a calling but a clear moral responsibility to act for peace.” A statement from Bishop William Swing, Founder of the United Religions Initiative is flashed on a screen for all to read on the subject Ways of Peace: the Golden Rule. All major and known religions universally in agreement on the Golden Rule concept are cited: Jainism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism, Christianity, Indigenous Spiritualities, Bahai, Unitarian Universalism.

Last night’s Music and Dance Concert displayed a number of amazing talents in the art of dance and music. All endeavors were done in the profused expression of love for the Creator of all life, unifying all diverse beliefs. Incredible to see at this time of acute materialistic goals. From the host country, Philippines, I was surprised to see the program opening with a group of young Filipino dancers do the difficult but terribly exotic Singkil, a dance of royalty in Mindanao folklore that involves Tinikling, a dance artform that requires highly skilled dancing feet while intricately tripping in and out between two fast clacking bamboo poles. A misstep could be disastrous. I thought only the legendary Bayanihan Dance Troupe that had won raves around the world for decades could give it justice. Between the mighty and masterful gongs of two young Japanese practitioners, the show ventured on to display more, much more amazing talents in dance and song.

The solo dancer from Bali, Indonesia where the famous Gandhi Puri Ashram works with interfaith youths to foster cooperation and understanding through various activites such as yoga workshops, and tree planting among others… this solo dancer showed such prowess in executing his art that the audience was totally hushed while cameras kept clicking their lights away, even children used their cellphones to take videos of the entire dance sequel, much to their squeaking delight as they followed the dancer’s snappy, quick eye movement harmonizing with the rest of his body’s language. Now I know what the Masters mean by giving mere mortals supernatural power when they are into the adoration of their Mighty Elohim through dance and music. I speak of the powerful dancer that came from enchanted Bali, favorite destination of western tourists, where you see the magic of a religious ritualistic dancing in ballet and acrobatic form, blending with the richness of texture, vibrancy of colors and exquisiteness of design all flowing in total Beauty, Peace, and Harmony in the languid dancer’s fabric.

All the other dancers and singers performed in their own fully inspired, astonishing way despite lack of time for rehearsals. What’s of prime importance for this self-motivated and self-organizing groups that are over 400 Cooperation Circles now in 65 countries is creating safe opportunities for dialogue, sharing and action, providing a global network for communication and knowledge sharing, offering a community of hope and positive vision for the future. Perfect vision for a Golden Age of Aquarius that’s coming.

The stunning evening concert had elicited shouts of Bravo, Bravo, Bravo from the captivated audience. Inspired by the Living God, last night’s multi-national, multi-diverse faith congregration joined the dancers, singers and musicians in crying out, hands locking each other in long lines, at the Finale, praying in English led by the Australian elder. It is similar in spirit to the I AM decrees in Adoration of the Living God given by the Ascended Masters. Pour forth Thy Light-giving Power and fan the Spark of Thy Divinity on the Altar of our Heart Flame and let It be magnified by the Fire, Breath of Thy Holy Spirit!!!

Manifest Thy Light for our Regeneration, Humanity’s Regeneration, and let the Breath, Height, Fullness and Crown of the Solar Radiance of the Sun Behind-the-Sun appear, I face Thy Eternal Sunrise and receive Thy Mighty Radiance and Activity visibly manifest in my experience of this beautiful concert of the United Religions Initiative tonight! Manifest Thy Power and open for us all in this multi-faith and united congregation, that innermost Temple of Almighty God within this celestial Fire!!!

For the Bali religious ritual there was a priest in attendance behind the dancer by the altar at the stage’s center, holding a vase of burning fire finally exploding it on its altar, with the clay vessel at its base gently breaking into pieces on the dancer’s head later showering around him what I perceived were white petals of flowers at the culmination of this exquisitely extraordinary dance ceremony. Below, we were all in exaltation,joined in prayer.
