My dear family,

My life has blossomed like a rose, my heart opening its petals to the first ray of light. The light of trust, sincerity, faith and belief. Belief in the new, belief in god, belief in me. Trust in my heart and its ability to always guide my way, childlike sincerity in forever being innocent. Laughing, crying, dancing, singing, playing. I am allowing my joyful beingness to flow like the golden ocean of
grace. Never did I think I could give myself the pleasure of being me...just me, the way I am. Beautiful, sweet, free. I have been blessed to have all my needs met, sometimes even before I can state them. I am blessed to have experienced love and kindness, tenderness and simplicity here in my body, with others who share their beauty freely (pod!). I am given a soul family, soon to be a global family, where even human embraces another, re-membering themselves. Akanksha means hope, and hope is the warmth of knowing that the old dream is fading and the new vision is becoming. I love you all immensely and thank you for your being. I have felt you every day since I met you, I have reached out to you in times of need and you have been there for me. And (my favorite part) I have been able to share with you the incredible moments of ecstasy, where time stands still and the universe holds its breath in wonder at its own creation.
I love you and join with you...blessed be

Me!
(Akanksha)

Dear Kenji, Anda and Brian,

The quantum is forever evolving and I would love to share with you some new understandings and insights in my experience..... After being introduced to this familiar yet amazingly new energy, I struggled to put it into perspective in relation to my being. What is the quantum? Is it something foreign, outside of me, coming in to assist me or is it within? Having experienced glimpses of seeing the whole universe within my being, I understood all that is without is ultimately within. But this was more of an intellectual understanding, not an experience with the Quantum. How was it that when I was around the pod or in meditation, I was blissed out. But when I returned to my everyday life I went back to doubt, hopelessness and fear. Well, after my trip to India which was really really hard, mostly because I was going against my inner being, my joyful knowing and holding onto the old way to struggling and expecting more pain. It was a relinquishing of the path of finding joy in the suffering and a resurrection of being bliss here now. After that, it began to dawn on me that the Quantum, that I was trying so hard to place into context was nothing but ME! The vivacious brightness I remember being as a child, my enthusiastic, sweet, loving nature, that was it! That was the quantum, the simplest, most intimate aspect of me. It was not foreign to my being, a state I was trying to achieve and maintain, but rather it was within, the most innocent, trusting core of my being. And then I looked at children and saw that embodiment, and then I looked at adults and saw that demolishing because of the belief in a reality that was other than that. So it was really in my hands, what world I lived in. My will is thy will and thy will shalt be done. And thy will is goodness and kindness and love, and lots and lots of beauty and joy and continual fulfillment!

It feels so good to share with beautiful words! Especially with dear souls... I am giving collapses to my parents as well as the house I grew up in. So much changing from the bottom up. And as another culmination of beauty happens, I look forward to being there! Love to you dear ones and Namah-aste for all the beauty you bring! And thank you thank you thank you Kenji for bringing beauty back.

I am learning more about the quantum everyday. It truly is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. Often I find myself unable to express what I am experiencing in conscious thought or through words. Its like a realm of experience beyond words, like the brain cant keep up and just takes a break for a while allowing the experience to just be, without needing to label or analyze it. I have been giving collapses to my grandmother, father, mother, aunt and uncle. It's amazing to see how the family structure shifts with this energy. I have also been encouraging my family to share their experiences and talk about what they feel before, during and after, changes etc. It's amazing to see them realize that their bodies can let go of pain and their mind can surrender stress. The quantum continues to expand constantly. Thank you for the eternal gift. With love and blessings,

New Stories in Consciousness

Consciousness. It's been described as everything and nothing, loving and angry, creative and destructive, dark and light. We yearn for its attention and approval, its forgiveness and grace. We sweat, purge, fast, do vigil and ceremony, sit in meditation in mosques, synagogues, churches, circles, under bodhi trees, and climb to the tops of the mountains in pursuit. We burn at the stake, blow ourselves up, and hang for its honor. We fight wars and make love on its behalf. We love and are afraid of it at the same time.

We project, pray, petition, prostrate, blame, and bargain with it. We feed and make sacrifices to appease it. We martyr, drug, drink, cut, and whip ourselves to feel its presence and earn its regard. Our hearts, torn by grief and suffering, call out to it, hoping for a definitive response. We feel it as separate and as part of ourselves.

We call it by many names: God, Allah, Mohammed, Zeus, Great Spirit, Shekhinah, Kali, Hari, Ra, Jehovah, Deus, Shen, YHWH, Paramatma, Durga, Mother, Gaia, Oneness, Quantum, and Consciousness to name a few. We describe and express it through many art forms. We create myths, stories and ecstatic states to experience and weave its nebulosity and mystery into the fabric of our daily lives.

Lasered through the focus of our human intent, it graciously offers itself to the most and the least among us. It patiently awaits our acceptance of its invitation as we struggle to bridge and create our story, our meaning, and our purpose within the vast context of the Great Mystery of Consciousness.

The struggle takes us outside of ourselves, as we look under rocks, in relationships, reflections, other's judgments, and in the dramas of our own creation to find meaning and purpose. Finally coming to the end of the road of our dissatisfaction, we turn inside to the recesses of our minds and hearts, and the exploration of a lifetime begins.

We traverse the valley of the shadow of death as we explore the darkest recesses of our psyche, and if we are courageous for long enough, we begin to see through the insanity of our false beliefs and driving energies. The light of truth dawns and we continue our ascension into deeper consciousness, empowered, recognizing ourselves as conscious co-creators. The old stories are outmoded and outdated. We forgive, and begin to love ourselves into new stories. Another epoch begins…

I believe that we are at the precipice of a new epoch in consciousness, and it is time to awaken and tell new stories. In July, 2005, while in meditation, I visioned a new earth. It was a beautiful place. The earth was etheric and matter at the same time. Many new species in all the kingdoms were present. Some did not make the cut. The vegetation was lush beyond anything presently on earth. I could see the vibrational frequencies coming off form like the heat coming off the road on a hot summer day. The peace was beyond all understanding. Love was all that existed. I opened my eyes in bliss, excited for our future. I realized I had seen no humans. Upon further investigation, I understood that humans had not yet made the choice to be a part of that new earth. Now, in 2009, I believe we have made that choice for change.

The old stories are crumbling. Witness the death of the old systems and structures of the power brokers, soon to be extinct. The Piscean age and the lessons of power are giving way to the Aquarian Age and the lessons of ethics. Our ethical, conscious choices create new myths and stories. Choice by choice we create the new earth. The outcome is unknown, and therefore challenges us not to fall into the abyss between epochs, but to muster our courage, continue to awaken, and to share our respective gifts and talents. A new story emerges.

In love and light, Melissa Pickett, MA, LPCC, Santa Fe, NM

Authenticity

What does it mean to live authentically? Authenticity holds a power that is almost mystical in nature. It's magnetic, and we long for it now more than ever. Why? My view is that authenticity opens the doorway to a life of spirit. What does the path of authenticity look like? Let's explore the seven stepping-stones that lead to a life of freedom and joy.

First Stone: Be happy for no reason. There's nothing you need to become, nothing that needs to happen, in order for you to be happy. Happiness is simply a choice. Let go of the 'when/then' game: When I lose 10 pounds, then I'll be happy. When I'm in that perfect relationship, then I'll be happy. Here's the deal: Happiness doesn't come when you've achieved your goals -- it's what allows you to achieve them. The happiness that you seek is not the reward waiting for you at the end of your journey. It's what makes the journey possible in the first place.

Second Stone: End the blame game. Do you blame others for the way your life has unfolded or is unfolding? Is it the fault of your childhood, your spouse, your boss, or the current state of world affairs that you are not happy? Are you giving away your power by seeing yourself as a victim? To become empowered you have to take responsibility for yourself and for the way your life is going. No person or event can determine the shape of your life unless you allow it. You allow it when you choose the safety of powerlessness over the risk of self-determination. The only failure in life is not choosing for yourself how you're going to live it. When you choose responsibility, a glorious thing happens: You stop living life in half measures and your life blooms in all its richness.

Third Stone: Simplify. Authenticity has a very hard time flourishing in the weed-strewn soil of complexity. You must pull out the weeds and make space for your soul desires to flourish. Simplifying involves ridding yourself of materials, activities, and people that drain or scatter your energy.

Clutter is the most visible sign of an overgrown life. Go through your stuff and clear out everything that you don't use or that doesn't please you emotionally. After you've cleared some physical space, see if you can free up some time. Without time to slow down and connect to your heart, you won't be able to hear its whisperings. Finally, you've got to rid yourself of people who are toxic to you, who weigh you down instead of uplifting you. When you've cleared a clean, fertile space in your life you can plant the seeds of your authenticity and cultivate your passion.

Fourth Stone: Relish being selfish. Oh no, I used the 'S' word! We've been told for so long that being selfish is bad. If you stop to think about it, anyone who says so is probably saying it out of a selfish desire for you to follow their rules!

If you want to live freely you have to become selfish. There is nothing wrong with serving the Self. You have to put your own needs and desires above everyone and everything precisely in order to serve everyone and everything. It's exhausting to try to be all things to all people. You were never meant to apply your energy in this scattering way, but to concentrate your energy into the singular expansion of your own genius and uniqueness. Selfishness in the highest sense of the word is about being yourself so fully that you can share yourself fully with others.

Fifth Stone: Do your healing work. Healing work is about confronting the habits, hurts, and fears that keep you living small. When you allow the fullness of who you are to step into the light, healing happens. The need for escapism, cures, and self-destructive habits diminishes. When you let go of any guilt, pain, anger, or unworthiness that you're experiencing you open up the channel of effortless being. Universal Energy can flow through and you become the instruments of spirit you were meant to be. There are many practices for doing healing work, from therapy to EFT to prayer. Find what works for you and commit to shifting any beliefs or feelings that are holding you back.

Sixth Stone: Cultivate compassion. Compassion is a profound human emotion. It pulls us out of egocentrism, enabling us to experience oneness with another and with all things. This is another facet of authenticity because compassion removes the ego's false gods of competition, morality and judgment from their thrones. It allows us an expanded view of the world--as spirit sees it. There is nothing more freeing than allowing others their choices, than supporting them instead of trying to change them, or than honoring their own ability to guide themselves.

Seventh Stone: Hand over your keys. We've all heard the adage of surrendering to a higher power, of "letting go and letting God." The key here is to realize that this higher power is not something outside of you, it's within you. Surrender, then, is not powerlessness. Surrender is about turning over the driver's seat of your life to your soul--to the full, intelligent, powerful, creative being that is the true you. It's about freeing yourself from the reckless driving of your personality that keeps crashing you into one dissatisfying conundrum after another or that keeps speeding you right past all those lovely, magical roadside attractions. When you let your soul guide you, you surrender to the need to reach any destination, knowing that wherever you are in the moment is perfect.

The path to an authentic life is a journey inward to our inner being instead of outward into the world. It's about claiming the power within us instead of seeking our power externally. Authenticity means honoring the self, not the self-image. It means listening to soul rather than to ego. It allows our hearts, so long shushed by our intellects, to finally speak.

Tami Warren, Shingle Springs, CA

A couple of questions.
Q: The waves over the last couple of weeks have had a strong sexual component to them. How should I understand this?
A: It is healing the sacral chakra and bringing those male-female, yin and yang energies into balance. We have been very repressed in the 2nd chakra area, especially women in all modern cultures. It is bringing light and life into that area of your life. Enjoy it. Let it flow.

Q: I notice that one of the outcomes seems to be a very strong embodiment. By that I mean that when I ground myself after a session, the magnetic connection with the ground seems to arise all the way up through my chest now, and seems to be getting stronger and higher each time.
A: Great. It is the blending of the electro-magnetic, vertical energies, the chakra system and the magnetic, horizontal, stabilizing and grounding energies of Mother GAIA. It is supposed to feel this way, and you are receiving greatly, so keep open and allowing.

Q: Also during the day, I feel both lighter and stronger and more solid in my own body, and even more sexual in an embodied way.
A: Yes, it is supposed to feel this way. Lighter in the mind, and more solid and grounded in the body. All of this is for embodied spirit/enlightenment in and through the physical vehicle. Doing great.

Q: I don't know much about tantra, but is there a way that I should be turning this new availability of energy towards aliveness and connection with Quantum?
A: You are doing it. Yes, it is like quantum tantra on a high energetic level, i.e., your soul level making love to your body, and vice versa. How about that?

Q: Sometimes I feel like it is more energy than "I" know how to contain. I suppose you would say that that is right, it will contain me.
A: Yes, allow the State to hold you in its embrace. It is neither female or male, but both and more. Do not resist.

Q: I notice that as I ask the question, get the answer above, try it out, (i.e. open and let it contain me) that it seems to be answering itself.
A: Yes, that is the purpose of QL - to let the questions answer themselves. That is why I keep saying you do not have to know how to get from A to Z. Just allow the State to guide you to you and your goals, your soul's desires, which is good. The insights come after the integration, so you do not have to "process" anything, any experience. This is the new way of the quantum.

Q: I think that I am worried at times that it is too much energy for me...I suppose it is for me...and then again to trust into it, it's holding.
A: Yes, you have answered all your questions by asking the questions. You are very smart, indeed, and very articulate with your questions. Keep up the fine work, my dear.

Q: So am I doing it right? Is it doing me right?
A: Yes, to both questions.

Q: When you use Quantum as a noun, how are you conceiving of it?
A: That is a great question. I have no idea if I use it as a noun, a verb, an adjective, a pronoun, or what. I just refer it to the State, the Being, the Force, the Isness, the Oneness, the Field of many possibilities, the Answer.

Q: I also have questions of "colonization" whatever that means...being taken over. There is a kind of sense of that. Although, I am remembering the bible and Paul saying that it is not I that live, but Christ in me. I suppose at the best there is a kind of being taken over by Being itself, or being reclaimed by Being. Certainly there is a way that the personality structure could be considered to be already in a kind of trance, a kind of having been taken over, a kind of way that we are in thrall to our images of self and the world.
A: It is like being "overshadowed" by a Presence, but I would not use the term, "colonization". There are two stages of development when on the Path of Initiation. First is the personality allows the "taking over", if you will, of the body by the Soul, which is spoken of in all the Bibles and esoteric literature. The Second is the Soul giving way to the I AM Presence, which is your God-Presence in the body. The second is the hardest, or has been. Most people are still dominated by their "personality" structures and ego-mind patterns. Yeshua taught the Way of the Masters, and the Resurrection and Ascension, supposedly on the Cross and the leaving of the tomb (Cave), is symbolic of the taking over of the I AM in one's life. You still are normal but operate on all major 12 dimensions of consciousness as is related to this earth incarnation. QL is about all of this from my guidance and understanding. Thank you so much for these great questions.

Blessings, Kenji

- From a student 09

Kenji,
Q: Also I got an insight during meditation today, that we have separate aura like energy fields with respect to each and every aspect of our lives - for example, our health, finances, relationships, self confidence etc. What we experience in each of these areas depends on the strength, clarity of these energy fields. Let's say for example - if I have allowed illness and diseases to be there in my system, it's because I did not first take care of my "health" energy field, and similar is the case with other energy fields. These fields get distorted due to negative belief systems and energy systems. My question is first of all, do you agree with this theory?It is a good one, so go with that. It makes sense for sure. Is it what actually happens?
A: Yes, indeed. Secondly, how to clear these energy fields? -Run the Violet Flame through all your energy bodies, including your physical body. Are they related to chakras? -Yes, all your energy bodies have major chakras and meridians, so to speak. So how to clear, strengthen and fully activate partially active chakras? -Violet Flame, followed by the Emerald Ray, then the Ruby ray, and then with the Golden-White Light of the Christos. So that energy flow improves and cleanses the respective energy fields as well? -It will automatically align, balance and harmonize each and all the rest with a quantum wave.

Blessings, Kenji

Meditation Mind without doubt is Mind without confusion. Mind without confusion is Mind without conflict. Mind without conflict is Mind without separation. Mind without separation is Mind without suffering. Mind without suffering is a Mind full of peace and Joy.

Let us bring through the intellect the trust, the certainty, the sureness of GOD. Let the Mind be free and the Intellect clear. For here is the gateway to the Light, for we stand upon the thresholds of Time and Space, awaiting the return to remembrance the reflections of the Christ.

Let the portals to the Consciousness open wide the horizons of Spirit in Joy, gladly announcing the return of the Spiritual Self. We now embrace the mighty BODY of the Christ within and present to the world His gift of Healing and of Love. We return to our Home, remembering that we never left. We renounce all illusion and see that they never were. We leave this world to return to our Creator in Spirit. We now are fulfilled because we know our Source and the one true purpose in Life. We now become One with our Self.

Kenji Kumara

My journey began about four years ago, when I discovered I was whole, complete and an infinite being. From that moment on, I have been on a quest, to unravel the meaning of my existence. The meaning dissolved long ago and turned into a feeling, a feeling of being, a feeling for living, a feeling of me. This quest led me on some of the most exciting moments of creation, where synchronicities suddenly born, created mind exploding awareness. To be here now, is the key. The key to the present opens pathways to the past and simultaneously births the future. I stand at this juncture in time, dabbling into the infinite potentiality of the moment, choosing my reality, creating my world.

To live in complete trust is to surrender to the field. The quantum field of creation is a sea of potential, ripe and ready to move into form. The slightest intent of direction creates solid, tangible fragments. Who am I if I am not struggling? Who am I if I am not broke? To surrender completely is equivalent to dying, and when the little self dies to the infinity of grace, creation creates itself. I have been led of one journey after the next, all with no warning, explanation or reasoning. Following intuitive guidance, I have been positioned at the right moment in time and space to witness and co-create astounding events. But my faith has been tested, with thoughts of fear and lack. Often, I would be guided to be at certain places and events, but my fears of not having enough money or time to support needs would stop me from following this divine guidance. Attending Kenji's workshop was one of the times I did listen, and the reconfirmation was valid once again. Trust and you shall be given all that is born within and without you.

So the message I would like to pass on in all gratitude and joy is:
"Let go, surrender to the mystery, allow your higher selves to do the talking, walking and playing here on the earth plane. The ride will be sweet, full of passion and intrigue. Everything you have ever desired, big and small, will come into being, effortlessly. For your deepest desires are shared by the Oneness, and the pathways to fulfillment have already been laid, in fantastic, glorious ways. Let the quantum field take care of you; let it give you the gifts you deserve and the comfort you need. Let it be easy, let it be fun, and most importantly, just let it be."

The New Children Are Arriving
by Kenji Kumara

They are being called by many names - The Children Of Oz, Indigos, Crystal, Golden. Dawn, The Golden Ones, Violet Ray & Psychic Kids. They are coming from different places within our Universe and Galaxy - The Pleiades (7 Sisters), Sirius B (a Star), Cassiopia, Aldebron, Arcturus, The Vega System (a Gate-way), Antares and a "Galaxy Far Far Away" (to use 'a Star Wars term). These children volunteered to come to Earth to bring awareness, enlightenment, healing and a new way of culturing our environment and planet. Some are being born fully awakened and realized; others arrive with much awareness of their psychic and spiritual gifts, which most people would call "supernormal" or "beyond belief". Most of them come with the inner knowledge of who they are and why they have come at this time. All require grounding in the physical world, loving support gentle nurturance, acceptance, discipline and compassionate guidance, especially within the school and medical systems, which they see as out-dated and irrelevant in many cases.

These children have come to show humanity a new vision, another way to get the job done (restoring planet Earth to her pristine beauty and balance). They have come to give us a vision of mankind's highest potential and how to use the other 90% of our untapped brainpower. They are also here to help us heal our inner fears, doubts, insecurities, judgments and limited thinking. These children are being born in every culture and religion, into single-parent families as well as well-to-do ones.

They hold our future - in high technology and science, the creative arts, medicine, politics and economics, education, religion, spirituality and the alternative healing arts/sciences. These gifted " masters", ranging in ages one to 9 mostly, if not supported and understood, end up joining street gangs and cultist rock groups, in psychiatric hospitals (in extreme cases), being labeled ADD, ADHD, hyperactive, aggressive, non-responsive, emotional & learning disabled special-needs kids, misfits, uncontrollable, undisciplined, problem children slow learners depressed, lonely, suicidal withdrawn, and the list goes on. By the same token, if understood and lovingly supported by their parents and teachers, they become well adjusted, creative, highly intelligent and end up in gifted and talented programs. Some have graduated from college by age 10-12. These children generally know more than their parents and teachers, so it is important for all of us to be open to learning from these very sensitive beings. They come to show us who we are, for they mirror everything back to us instantly. All these new age children are natural healers. All are very telepathic, empathic, clairaudient, clairvoyant and clairsentient. They are able to read your thoughts and feelings and are highly sensitive to chemicals, additives, artificial lighting, loud noises, electromagnetic radiations, processed foods, sugars, salts and generally anything that is disruptive and out of balance with Nature.

These empathic souls know when you are not telling the truth about anything, and when you hide your feelings from expression. It is so important to tell these souls the whole truth and to tell them why you want them to do certain things, or why they can't do certain things. They require a truthful explanation, especially when it comes to discipline and guidance. Let them decide for themselves what is true for them, not how you think they should believe or behave. They have enough intelligence to learn from their mistakes. Let them make mistakes, for this is how they learn. This is how everyone learns. These new-agers have a plan - it is our job to allow the natural unfoldment of their greater destiny and life purpose. Try asking them who they are, where they came from, why they are here and what they came to do for this planet - and you might be thoroughly amazed at what you hear.

These children and young adults will not share with you (as parents and teachers) their inner world if they do not trust you. You have to gain their trust, or parenting and teaching will be a very challenging experience. They need to know they are loved and supported, and that you are doing your best to understand them as soul beings, not as human beings. They did not respond to the "reward and punishment" games or anything that creates fear and guilt within them. They will rebel because they know you do not understand where they are coming from. Their requirements are to be taught and parented with compassion, love, truth and sincerity.

These beings of great light and love started incarnating around 1975, and each successive wave brought more aware and enlightened masters upon this earth. I feel there will be 12 major waves or tribes of these new agers to come by the year 2012-2013. This is a significant date for humanity. The principles of Love, Compassion and Wisdom need to be grounded and seeded within all human hearts by this time. All of the old structures, traditions and limitations that do not work anymore are being collapsed, so the new energies can be expressed within the minds and hearts of everyone. Some of you adults who are reading this are also these new lightworkers, for you have chosen to come ahead of the others to prepare the way, which has been extremely challenging. There is a fairly high percentage of these new agers (ages 1 - 11) in the greater Seattle area. A very low percentage of the parents understand or know who these children are. The best resources to find out how to deal with these children can be found in James Twyman's book "The Emissary of Love" , Doreen Virtue's two books on the Indigo Children and Lee Carroll/Kryon's books on the Indigos. Another resource is the Internet. I would recommend a Google search on Indigo children, Children of Oz, etc… Waldorf and Montessori schools are good for these souls, as well as home schooling and some alternative/gifted programs, plus summer camps that do vision quests and self-esteem training.

[Published in the Spiral Journey magazine, July August 2002 by Kenji Kumara. Kenji Kumara, MA/ECE is a holistic educator/healer/presenter who is available for private consultations/healings, mentoring-tutoring and healers training for these gifted children/young adults. He plans on establishing a healing school where these souls can develop and express their natural talents and abilities.]
