The Flower of Life 1.P65 THE ANCIENT SECRET OF THE FLOWER OF LIFE VOLUME 1 1 Acknow ledgments There are so many beings—in the hundreds—who have helped bring this work to completion. I can’t name them all, but I feel a need to recognize a few. First of all, the two angels who entered my life long ago and who have lovingly guided my life, you are most honored. Thoth, the ascended master from Atlantis, Egypt and Greece, has given me a great deal of the information in this book. My family, my wife Claudette and my children, who have been my greatest love and inspiration in life. The 200 facilitators teaching this work of the Flower of Life in 33 countries, who have given me invaluable feedback, support and love that has kept me strong. The thousands of students who have written loving letters telling how this work has changed their lives; this has given me strength to continue. Livea Cherish, who put this work into book form from the video format, and Margaret Pinyan, whose fine editing ability allows this book to read so smoothly. Tim Stouse, who created about half the computer graphics, and Michael Tyree, who created the other half; they have made it possible to understand what was being said. And O’Ryin Swanson, the owner of Light Technology Publishing, who had the faith in me to publish this work. To the rest of you who are too numerous to name, I thank you all from my heart with the prayer that this work will actually help people understand who they really are so that together we can create a more loving world—and perhaps even a more loving universe. Thank you, dear ones. PREFACE Only one Spirit. Long before Sumeria existed, before Egypt had built Saqqara, before the Indus Valley nourished, Spirit lived in human bodies, dancing in high culture. The Sphinx knows the truth. We are much more than we know. We have forgotten. 2 The Flower of Life was and is known by all life. All life, not only here but everywhere, knew it was the creation pattern — the way in, the way out. Spirit created us in this image. You know this is true; it is written in your body, in all your bodies. Long ago we fell from a very high state of consciousness, and the memories are just now beginning to emerge. The birth of our new/old consciousness here on Earth will change us forever and return us to the awareness that there is truly only one Spirit. What you’re about to read is a journey of my life through this reality, how I learned about Great Spirit and about the relationships that each of us have with all life everywhere. I see Great Spirit in the eyes of everyone, and I know that He/She is within you. You already hold within your deepest being all the information I will be sharing with you. When you first read it, it may seem like something you’ve never heard before, but it isn’t. This is ancient information. You can remember things that are deep inside you, and it’s my hope that this book will trigger these things so you can remember who you are, why you came here, and what your purpose is for being here on Earth. It is my prayer that this book will become a blessing in your life and give you a new awakening about yourself and some- thing about you that is very, very old. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. I love you deeply, for in truth we are old friends. We are One. Drunvalo INTRODUCTION Part of my purpose in presenting this work is to assist people to be aware of certain events that have happened on this planet or are presently happening or are about to happen, events that are radically affecting our consciousness and the way we’re living today. By understanding our present situation, we can open to the possibility of a new consciousness, a new humanity emerging on Earth. In addition, perhaps, my dearest purpose is to inspire you to remember who you really are and give you the courage to bring your gift to this world. For God has given each one of us a unique talent which, when truly lived, changes the physical world into a world of pure light. I’ll also be giving mathematical and scientific evidence to show how we got here, as spiritual beings in a physical world, in order to convince the left-brain analytical part of us that there is only one consciousness and one God, and that we are all part of that Oneness. This is important, for it brings both sides of the brain into balance. This balance opens the pineal gland and allows the prana, the life-force energy, to enter the innermost part of our physical being. Then and only then is the body of light called the Mer-Ka-Ba possible. However, please understand that the evidence I originally learned this information from is in itself not important. The information could in most cases be completely changed to different information without affecting the outcome. In addition, I made many mistakes because I am now human. What is most interesting to me is that every time I made a mistake, it led into a deeper understanding of the Reality and a higher truth. So I say to you, if you find an error, look deeper. If you get hung up on 3 the information by overestimating its value, you will totally miss the point of the work. What I have just said is paramount to understanding this work. I’ll also be giving my personal experiences, many of which are, I admit, outrageous by the ordinary world’s standards. Perhaps they are not so outrageous by the old world’s standards, but it is you who must decide if they are true or are just stories — or if it even matters. Listen deeply with your heart, for your heart always knows the truth. Then I intend to share with you, as much as I can in the second volume, a specific breathing technique that will help you return to the vastly higher state of consciousness from which we all came. It is the remembrance of the breath connected to the lightbody of the Mer-Ka-Ba. This is one of the primary purposes of this work. At this point a short story of how this book came about is in order. You will read about the angels, so I will not begin there, but rather with the later events. In 1985 the angels asked me to begin teaching the meditation of the Mer-Ka-Ba. I first learned it in 1971 and had been practicing it ever since, but I did not want to become a teacher. My life was easy and fulfilled. Basically, I was comfortable and didn’t want to work so hard. The angels said that when someone is given spiritual knowledge, they must share it. They said it was a law of creation. Knowing they were right, I opened my first class to the public in the spring of 1985. By 1991 my workshops were filled and overflowing, with hundreds of people on the waiting list. I didn’t know how to reach everyone who wanted this information. In fact, I could not. So in 1992 I made a decision to release a video of one of my workshops and let it go out to the world. Within less than a year it was exploding in sales, but there was one big problem. Most of the people who were watching the videos could not really understand what was presented because it was outside the context and content of their spiritual under- standing. I gave a lecture to ninety people in Washington State, all of whom had seen the video tapes but had never been to one of my live workshops. It was there that I realized that only about 15 percent of the people actually knew how to live the meditation by using only the instructions on the video tapes. It was not working. Eighty-five percent were confused and unclear about the instructions. Immediately I took the video tapes off the market. This, however, did not stop the video from continuing to be sold. People wanted the information, so they began to copy the existing tapes and give, sell or lease them to people worldwide. By 1993, it has been estimated that there were approximately 100,000 sets of these tapes in the world. A decision was made. It was determined that the only way we could be responsible with this information was to have a trained person in the room when someone watched the video tapes. Trained means that we had carefully instructed a person to know and live the Mer-Ka-Ba. That person could then orally teach another. This is how the Flower of Life facilitator program was born. There are now over 200 trained facilitators in at least 33 countries. And the system has worked very well. Now things are changing again. People are beginning to understand higher consciousness and its value and concepts. It is now time to release this book to the general public, which is now ready, we feel. A book has the advantage that people can take more time to study the drawings and photos carefully at leisure. And it will also have current updated information such as follows: 4 Update: The times they are a-changing for sure! According to Dow Jones Company, Inc.

Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream.

  • The Lost Continent of Mu
    THE LOST CONTINENT OF MU by Colonel James Churchward (1931) James Churchward (1851-1936) This material has been reconstructed from various unverified sources of very poor quality and reproduction CMG Archives http://campbellmgold.com --()-- 1 Preface Above - A Relic from Mu All matters of science in this work are based on the translations of two sets of ancient tablets. Naacal tablets which I discovered in India many years ago, and a large collection of stone tablets, over 2500, recently discovered by William Niven in Mexico. Both sets have the same origin; for both sets are extracts from the Sacred Inspired Writings of Mu. The Naacal tablets are written with the Naga symbols and characters--and, legend says, were written in the Motherland and first brought to Burma and then to India. 2 Their extreme age is attested to by the fact that history says the Naacals left Burma more than 15,000 years ago. Where the Mexican tablets were written is problematical. They are mostly written in the northern or Uighur symbols and characters. What actual writing there is on both sets is in the alphabet of Mu, the Motherland. Whether they were written in Mexico or in the Motherland and brought to Mexico I cannot say. They are, however, over 12,000 years old as shown by some of the tablets. Among the Mexican tablets I have found several speaking of Mu, and others that supply missing links in my Naacal tale of Creation. These I have added to the text of this edition of Mu, giving their dissections, decipherings and translations.

  • Apocalyptic Literature and the Study of Early Jewish Mysticism
    CHAPTER 6 APOCALYPTIC LITERATURE AND THE STUDY OF EARLY JEWISH MYSTICISM RA‘ANAN BOUSTAN AND PATRICK G. MCCULLOUGH U n d e r the influence of Gershom Scholem in the mid-twentieth century (Scholem 1954, 1965), work in the field of early Jewish mysticism has been informed by the hypothesis that there existed within ancient Judaism a continuous tradition of ecstatic mysticism. Scholem traced a direct historical trajectory from the Second Temple apocalypses to the early rabbinic teachings in the Mishnah, Tosefta, and Palestinian Talmud about the divine chariot-throne (merkavah) and, finally, to Hekhalot literature of late antiquity. Yet, over the past three decades, this powerful paradigm has gradually come unraveled, due in no small part to contemporane­ ous developments in the study of the apocalyptic texts from the Hellenistic and early Roman periods. Rather than approaching these various textual corpora as evidence for a single, unbroken tradition of Jewish mysticism, many scholars now emphasize the significant linguistic, formal, and conceptual differences among them (e.g., Halperin 1980; Schäfer 1984b, 2009; Himmelfarb 1988, 1993, 2006; Boustan 2007, 2011; Mizrahi 2009). This fundamental reassessment of the dynamics of continuity and innovation in the exegetical, speculative, and ritual traditions surrounding Ezekiels vision of the merkavah has gone hand-in-hand with a decidedly historicist, discursive, and 8 6 r a ‘a n a n b o u s t a n a n d Pa t r ic k g . m c c u l l o u g h materialist “turn” within the study of religion more generally. In the wake of criti­ cal inquiry into the popular and scholarly genealogy of the concept “mysticism” (de Certeau 1984; Katz 1978; Proudfoot 1985; Sharf 1998), specialists in the field of Jewish mysticism have increasingly questioned the assumption that the literatures they study are best interpreted as a Jewish variant of a universal “mystical” experience or state of consciousness.
