Sacred Space and Time are interconnected
I arrived at Krabi a few days before the magical
Mayan Winter Solstice date of 21-12-2012.
From my hotel room I saw the wat (temple) at the
top of my main destination: the tiger cave temple. This felt like a
good beginning.
I walked through the town and very soon came at a
new wat, which I had not seen during other visits to Krabi. Outside
was an exhibition and the first pictures I noticed were of sacred
sites, energetically connected to each other. This is the main
reason for going to Krabi as described in
The Climax.
The next day the people of the exhibition were
removing these pictures. I was just in time.
I became already exited after getting these
signs. Entering the wat my attention was immediately drawn to a
beautiful image of the Tree of Life or World Tree.
I stood there in awe because the connectedness,
similarity and oneness,
from one side of the world (the sacred Mayan
World tree) to the other side of the world at Krabi (the sacred
Buddhist Tree of Life), was so apparent.
I meditated and absorbed this fine decorated wat
with so many meaningful murals.
Two days later, after this amazing introduction,
I went to the tiger cave temple.
For several years now, Buddhists are constructing
a new grandiose shrine. In front of this new shrine I found again a new Tree
of Life. The implication points to the
same meaning as seen in Mayan World Tree and the importance of it
touched me deeply. These are sacred images where Sacred Space and
Time are revealing their interconnectedness.
Wat Tham Seua (tiger cave temple) consists of
several wats, meditation halls and huts. I walked into another wat
and received two initiations and blessings by the monks. I was given a
special wristband, and the monks told me that this wristband has
been religiously blessed with the strong, magical and forceful power
of Metta Bhudto Ahosi.
Afterwards I went to the natural forest enclosure, with trees of at
least 1000 years old. Every time I visit that forest I feel a
mystical energy. There are meditation huts and some caves with
Buddha statues in this forest where people come to practice
Vipassana meditation, basking in the powerful and magical energy of
the forest.

I was drawn to a huge tree, in my eyes undoubtedly a representation
of a living Tree of Life. I hugged the tree and meditated for some
time. I felt how the tree brought the life giving energy of the sun
into the earth.
The World Tree, Sacred Tree, Tree of Life or
Cosmic Tree in different spiritual and mythical traditions.
An
overview.
The Tree of Life is a universal symbol found
in many spiritual and mythological traditions around the world. In
various cultures it is known as the Cosmic Tree, the World Tree and
the Holy Tree. The Tree of Life symbolizes many things, including
wisdom, protection, strength, bounty, beauty, and redemption.
This wise and holy Tree is like the Creator as it sustains creation
with its abundant fruit, protection and generativity.
The following are some examples of how the
Great Tree is understood around the world and demonstrate why so
many cultures use the Tree of Life to describe the Divine
and our journey back to the Divine.................
Quote from and continued in:
Tree of Life teachings: Living with passion, heart & purpose.
I highly recommend this website, because it
contains many interesting topics. Like
Living with passion, heart & purpose. A brilliant overview
of all the topics I also experience as important and published
about.
For me it is an astonishing realization that this
Tree of Life symbol is so powerful present in so many religions.
To give one example (not from the above website)
in
the Gospel of Maria Magdalena (pdf) the Tree of Life is also
very significant. Maria Magdalena (Miryam) was Jesus closest
disciple and perhaps even his wife. The catholic church depicted her
as a prostitute. (Comment
superfluous).
A part from this gospel:
 42:2 “My master spoke thus to me. He said,
‘Miryam, blessed are you who came into being before coming into
being, and whose eyes are set upon the kingdom, who from the
beginning has understood and followed my teachings.
Only from the truth I tell you, there is a
great tree within you that does not change, summer or winter, and
its leaves do not fall. Whosoever listens to my words and ascends to
its crown will not taste death, but know the truth of eternal life.
42:3 Then he showed me a vision in which I saw
a great tree that seemed to reach unto the heavens; and as I saw
these things, he said, ‘the roots of this tree are in the earth,
which is your body. The trunk extends upward through the five
regions of humanity to the crown, which is the kingdom of the
spirit'.
.........................
42:13 And I felt my soul and all that I
could see dissolve and vanish in a brilliant
light in a likeness unto the sun.
Beyond 21-12-2012
As predicted before, no doomsday but
an acceleration in evolving of the human race to wake up to
consciousness/unity. What I also noticed is that in my life things
even flow more wonderful.
Completing a cycle of human evolution
and starting a new phase in ever deepening awareness
Staying on a paradise like beach on Pulau Pangkor
in Malaysia I got suddenly the idea to take
photos of orbs again as I
had done before. Orbs are often seen around spiritual people or at
sacred sites.
To my astonishment I saw not only MANY orbs
on my photos but also a kind of 'light being'.
I stayed in a bungalow on the beach with at the
background virgin-like rainforest. The only light that I could see
was the
light left on the bungalow and of course the flash of my camera.
All the other scenery has been dark. For about
eighty seconds there was this very slow moving 'light being' on my
photos together with many fast moving orbs. The 'light being' was
clearly not regular fire, else I would have seen it and flames move much
quicker anyhow.
It
reminded me of the
burning bush of Moses
in the Sinai desert
in Egypt,
where I received a vision that inspired me to start this website.
It felt like completing a cycle
in human evolution and starting a
new phase to awakening to consciousness in ever refining dimensions,
as predicted by several seers.I got the insight that the orbs and the light
being wanted to show to us that there are unseen powerful forces
helping us to make the shift in consciousness. There is so much more
then our five senses can conceive.
By gazing at the photo of the light being
you can get a transmission of enlightening energy, as some people
experienced.
I asked several people, who are open to such
phenomena, what they perceive by looking at the close-up of the light
being. Their answers were more or less the same:
It appears to be a being with a powerful transforming
energy, helping us with the shift in consciousness and could be
related to the sun.
In 2013 we will have a period of heightened sun
activity (which
occurs every 11-13
years). Also the sun is
now in alignment with our galactic center. This is
in synchronicity with
the Mayan winter solstice in 2012.
Enjoy this recent magnificent YouTube movie of the surface of the
sun Use HD and full screen.
These combined energies carry the
potential to awaken to the magnificent brilliance of enlightened
awareness
(GAYATRI MANTRA)
to the ones who are open-hearted.
I asked also the Osho Zen Tarot to enlighten me
about the meaning of these orbs - light being phenomena for the
world. I pulled two cards and I got IV The rebel and the
Queen of Rainbows: Flowering.
The Rebel card
has an amazing lot in common with the photo of the light being. Seen
from a direct comparison between the Tarot card and the photo and
seen from a comparison of the energies.
This is the description of this Tarot card:
 |
IV The Rebel
The powerful and authoritative figure in this
card is clearly the master of his own destiny. On his shoulder is an
emblem of the sun, and the torch he holds in his right
hand symbolizes the light of his own hard-won truth. Whether he is
wealthy or poor, the Rebel is really an emperor because he has
broken the chains of society’s repressive conditioning and opinions.
He has formed himself by embracing all the colors of the rainbow,
emerging from the dark and formless roots of his unconscious
past and growing wings to fly into the sky. His very way of
being is rebellious — not because he is fighting against anybody or
anything, but because he has discovered his own true nature and is
determined to live in accordance with it. The eagle is his spirit
animal, a messenger between earth and sky. The Rebel
challenges us to be courageous enough to take responsibility for who
we are and to live our truth.
In this description we find the fire and the sun
and also two times The tree of Life, with its roots deeply into the
earth and its branches reaching to the sky.
Osho mentions about the rebel card: The
enlightened man is the greatest stranger in the world; he does not
seem to belong to anybody. No organization confines him, no
community, no society, no nation.

The Queen of Rainbows compliments this
beautifully. I have written a lot about the necessity that
male-female energy balances each other: Yin-Yang or Shiva-Shakti.
The quote of Osho with this card:
Zen wants you living, living in abundance,
living in totality, living intensely — not at the minimum as
Christianity wants you, but at the maximum, over-flowing.
Your life should reach to others. Your
blissfulness, your benediction, your ecstasy should not be contained
within you like a seed. It should open like a flower and spread its
fragrance to all and sundry - not only to the friends but to the
strangers too.
This is real compassion, this is real love:
sharing your enlightenment, sharing your dance of the beyond.

The vision of an
awakened Being
In essence these two messages combined gives the
vision of an awakened Being,
living his/her full potential. Talents which are seen now as
paranormal or gifted like clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition and
especially
claircognizance
will become more widespread.
A quote from
claircognizance
link:
Claircognizance is when you have an inner knowing about something or
someone. When you use this sense of intuition you know what
you are thinking or saying is true beyond any doubt. Many
speakers, writers, artists, and inventors naturally use their gifts
of claircognizance. They consciously or unconsciously tap into
the divine mind for inspiration, creativity, and innovation. When
you experience claircognizance, it feels as if your idea or
inspiration comes from a higher source and you feel compelled to put
it into action.
And so it is!
The wonderful dimension
In this wonderful dimension in which everything
happens naturally by itself, every desire is (almost) immediately fulfilled,
miracles happen, abundance flows, the right people show up, doors
open, healing happens and so on.
I am very happy to see that this is now also
happening with some of my friends, who are of course very enthusiastic about
it.
Besides daily meditation and asking for guidance,
it is very important to follow your inner voice or intuition without
hesitation and in full trust. According to Deepak Chopra and others
intuition is the greatest force in the Universe.
Gayatri Mantra
In a flash of insight the powerful image of the
World Tree or Tree Of Life with its branches into the heavens,
catching the light of the sun and its roots digging deep into the
earth, transformed into the Gayatri Mantra.
Every morning, back home, I started to chant a
beautiful version of the Gayatri Mantra. This is an invocation
of the essence of the sun (Savitur) and a request to ignite this
energy (Prachodayat).
I experienced a sensation of
lightness by chanting this mantra.
The best way to describe this sensation is like heaven came to earth
and touched me right in my heart.
With the following Narayana OM
chant this lightness seemed to spread all over the world
quicker and quicker. A profound experience.
There are many versions of the Gayatri Mantra and
I tried several, but this one uplifts me the most.
I highly recommend chanting
this version
of the Gayatri Mantra and Narayana OM.
It are the two chants
with the yellow
NEW before it in the blue box below
Chanting this special version of the Gayatri
Mantra and Narayana OM can be very helpful in the shift in consciousness. You
can pause 10-15 minutes (or longer if you feel like) between the two
mantras and watch your breath going in an out. If this helps you,
you can use the mantra SoHam. So while breathing in,
Ham while breathing out.
As the Gayatri Mantra prays for in the last
verse:
May all beings perceive through subtle and
meditative intellect,
the magnificent brilliance of enlightened awareness.
For the ones who have followed me on this Mayan
Quest,
I hope you have enjoyed it and your
feedback is very welcome. |
