This is for those of us who see this moment as unique and different, and in need of a special approach to address it. This is the moment: when many people see that there are so many things which do not work as they did in the past; or, when they experience an inability to have the same level of ‘prediction’; or, when they do not feel the same level of ‘hope’ as compared to the recent past.

This is for those who accept the importance of the year 2012, not as the end of the world, but as a year when something important will happen and, as a result, they understand the need to prepare for it. For them, it seems very evident that something has radically changed, and that it is difficult to know what it is, and how to approach it. In most cases, the old instruments are not really effective to get where we want to go.

Thus, this note is for those who feel in their bare bones that things are not ‘right’ and that, for example, the economics and finance, and the social dimensions of our lives, are going down the wrong path. This note is for those who understand that “more of the same will yield more of the same”, thus, there is an imperative for change and transformation.

This is the moment when one feels that what is said is not proper, or it neither matches the vision nor the intent embodied in this moment.

This note is for those who are convinced that we need to change our language and forms of communications in order to lead to “the right action”. This is for those whose inner guts tell them that the actions as we implement them are really not sufficient, for those who notice that the collective trust has been eroded, and for those who see daily that most people live a form of “logic” rather than the true “reality”.

This is the moment when we feel that ‘the speed of time’ (as there is more knowledge and understanding) and ‘the roots of change’ seem to have accelerated to such an extent that the pace is, often, too fast to embody many inner and outer experiences. We realize very high levels of frustration with ourselves and with others.

•It is the time when we say the wrong things to others or act in odd ways, and when others do the same to us.
•It is the time when it is not easy to calibrate our behavior and efforts to yield the right actions and results.
•It is the time when we find ourselves using the words “problem”, “tired”, “frustrated”, “unsafe”, “insecure”, “awful”, “insane”, etc.

The year 2009 was the year when humanity had to realign and focus on our material transformation. This is why we were put to the test when the international economic and financial systems almost collapsed. Unfortunately, we decided not to change and not to realign. Thus, we should expect to be confronted with another material crisis of major proportions.

The year 2010 is the year of the realignment and transformation of our spiritual lives in a state of human existence. The emphasis is not just on us, as individuals, but on us as a collective entity (human collective, nature collective, spirit collective). It is a collective transformation based, essentially, on the process of self-realization and experience. The principal vehicle or instrument is now “the body”, assisted by our mind and soul. The Era of the Mind has ended, and we have now entered The Era of the Body. Thus, we must realign our spiritual life having in mind the objectives and instruments at our disposal.

The year 2011 is the year of our reconciliation with nature and with all other living beings and living entities. It will not be easy to make peace with the environment, as we have destroyed it so much that one wonders how 2011 will be in relation to earthquakes, volcano activity, stability or lack thereof of our oceans and rivers, etc. We have to be mindful of the role that Mother earth plays in our lives and spiritual transformation, as well as the role of other planets. It is thus essential that during this year (2010) we begin the process of reconciliation with nature, so that we are not confronted with a challenge that it would be too late to address and resolve.

The year 2011 will also be the tunnel, or the bridge, to the next, where the Maya predictions will take full body.

The year 2012 is a year of important changes in the vibration, energies and positions of the Earth and all living beings. It is not just the axis of the earth that is moving and shifting, but the axis of all living beings. It represents the end of an old paradigm and the beginning of a new one. Actually, those who are questioning what is happening right now are also feeling the character and tenor of these dimensions right inside their hearts. The year 2012 is when we have to enter life with clarity, inner peace, coherence and determination. We are to be prepared and take action accordingly. These changes have been happening and are accompanied by many planetary changes and by significant shifts of human and all other forms of consciousness (including Divine Consciousness). The old paradigm will be of little help to become an Aquarian Soul; a Soul deep rooted in self realization and experience, and a Soul of collective humanity.

Why is this so? What is this all about?

Possibly, there are millions of answers. However, in this short note I would like to share just one of them; one which is making a lot of sense to me and many who are close to me.

This transition period we experience now is fundamental, and of critical importance, (a) to identify what are our weaknesses and (b) to evaluate deeply our spiritual practices.

By identifying our weaknesses, we may create a new plan for our lives and make all the efforts to execute all that is needed to correct those weaknesses and be able to enter into the realm of the “right action”.

By evaluating our spiritual practices, we will be able to see what works for us and what does not work for us and, consequently, change and shift our spiritual practices immediately. One direction you may decide to take in your spiritual practice is to open up the inner spaces for a better understanding of our alchemy of collective destiny. This is the alchemy of me and the other. This is the alchemy of interdependence and interconnectedness at all levels of human existence. But, also, this is the alchemy of destination (where we are going) rather than origin (where we come from)

As a result, I recommend you seriously consider looking forward and not backwards, identify the real vehicle we are to take, together, in order to move forward and fulfill all the sufficient conditions required to enter into that collective vehicle and reach our collective destiny.

Dismantle your present logic. It is thick and it is blinding you. Go back to our true reality, and by doing so approximate the collective vehicle.

Spend 11 minutes every morning repeating this mantra:

OM
MY ONLY DESTINY IS THE COLLECTIVE DESTINY OF HUMANITY
AH
OPEN MY BODY TO THIS NEW EXPERIENCE OF DESTINY
HUM
OPEN MY MIND ONLY TO REALITY OF ALL FORMS OF LIFE
PHE
OPEN MY SPIRIT TO ENLIVEN THE MEMORY OF DESTINY
SOHA

Alfredo shares memories of Yogi Bhajan, Espanola, NMX

With greater frequency, Alfredo’s work is in places few will go, and with young people seldom exposed to notions of inner work and self-realization. He has discovered a pervasive lack of self-confidence among young people. In consideration of the limited attention span of many in our society today, Alfredo has developed practical tools for effective daily practice that builds a solid foundation for increased inner awareness. The tool he is sharing with young people now – is a sutra for self-confidence. 

The sutra is designed as an 11 minute daily practice. When practiced daily, one can expect an inner shift within 120 days. It is freely offered here as a downloadable document. It works well to print it on sturdy paper like card stock and keep it visible. Use the link below:

 EL SUTRA DE LA AUTO ESTIMA – THE SUTRA OF SELF-CONFIDENCE

Enjoy the Sutra…

Blue Lotus Flower, Luxor, Egypt

You are beautiful.
You are manifesting the Divine Creative Power
of the Adi Shakti.
Honor yourself: care for yourself.
You are the Divine Mother in your most beautiful creativity.
Honor yourself: laugh and rejoice!
You have surrendered your body to give life to your child.
Honor yourself: be grateful.
There is no greater sacrifice and no greater honor.
You turn your own blood into milk to nourish your child.
Honor yourself: care for yourself, body, mind and spirit. ”Self-containment is the art of prosperity. It is the highest spiritual strength. There is nothing to match it.” ~Yogi Bhajan

The Adi Shakti is the woman’s primordial life force.

Here are a few words compiled from other sources regarding the nature of the actual ceremony this Mother’s Day.

In Yogic tradition, on the 120th day of pregnancy, family and close friends are invited to rejoice. The celebration is to honor the mother and offer her loving support. Everyone gathers to meditate, chant, and reflect on the reality that a soul is entering her womb. This celebration also offers prayers for the woman’s spiritual, mental, and physical well-being so that she may inspire, teach, and guide her child.

There is no defined criteria for this celebration, however, often the mother-to-be sits on a beautifully decorated place of honor. Throughout the celebration, the community chants, and shares uplifting songs. Often someone will narrate an inspiring story. Guests bring presents to personally honor her. They pledge to support and inspire her, so she can relax, feel secure, and focus on the child growing within her. The celebration is cozy and often deeply moving for all. The celebration closes with everyone sharing a delicious, nutritious meal.

PLEASE JOIN US FOR MEDITATION IN THE PARK…

Where: Parque de Las Esculturas, Avenida Santa Maria 2201, Providencia  

PAZ DE CHILE, PAZ INTERIOR, PAZ ECOLOGICA, AUTOCURA, Y SILENCIO

“PON EL PODER DE TU SILENCIO A DISPOSICION DE TODOS”

CHO TAB KHEN ZAMUBLING (Alfredo Sfeir-Younis) will lead the meditation. He has issued a call to all spiritual leaders and many have overwhelmingly extended their love and support. In equal measure, his call goes out to citizens of the world to offer the power of your silence in solidarity with those who gather in Santiago de Chile for inner peace and greater cooperation with the earth.

Many of you have written and inquired about Alfredo and his family. We offer a modest update:

Prior to the earthquake in Chile, the Zambuling Institute for Human Transformation at Alfredo’s request was mobilizing an effort to support the people of Haiti. That effort was diverted on February 26, when a series of mega earthquakes struck Chile.

His immediate family all faired well. His ranch home suffered great damage and the homes of his neighbors were destroyed. On that day, life was prioritized in quite a dramatic way. Alfredo was in Costa Rica during the quake and while away put together a truck filled with supplies that accompanied him to his southern Chile home to address the immediate needs of his neighbors left homeless by the quake. This effort continues.

All immediate ZIHT efforts outside of Chile are now on hold.

Slowly, his home is being salvaged. Alfredo holds meditation in his southern Chile home at 7pm, on evenings when he is in his village. He has cooked noontime meals for his neighbors who have suffered great losses and brought in food, water, medicine, construction materials, and clothing to the village. He is working cooperatively with local government officials, healthcare providers, churches, and educators in southern Chile and in Santiago to resolve the problems of the poor and elderly most affected by these recent events.

Thank you for your prayers of solidarity. May they continue.

“We the people, the ancestors of our great, great grandchildren, call forth the deepest wisdom and the highest compassion from all those working for a healthy global climate, for the benefit of the entire Earth community and the next seven generations.”

The Gaiafield Center for Subtle Activism at California Institute of Integral Studies, in collaboration with Association for Global New Thought, Culture of Peace Initiative, Vessels of Peace, Zambuling Institute of Human Transformation and many local groups around the world announce WiseClimate 2009, a “subtle activism” program to bring people from around the world together in meditation, prayer, and celebration to support a wise approach to global climate change.

In the fall and winter of 2009, the UN Climate Change conference will convene in Copenhagen, a key energy bill will be put before the US Congress, and other critical climate-change related events will occur. Join people all around the world in meditation, prayers, and celebration to support the highest and best outcomes emerging from these important forums in the fall of 2009.

In a preamble to his appeal he shared the following…

“The new challenge for humanity is to be fully aware of its collective nature. This is unfolding through fully interdependent interactions with other people, nature and the spirit. Thus, our awareness tells us that the power of “individual materialism” is decaying in front of our eyes, and that a new era is unfolding. This is the era of self realization guided by the collective values of love and compassion, caring and sharing, solidarity and interconnectedness,…, deeply rooted in our inner and outer reality. As the “I” is changed by the “We”, more happiness, joy and fulfilment will grow.”
