The Wesak Festival

The Wesak Festival honors our Beloved Lord Gautama. On the night of the full moon in May, spiritual seekers from every part of the planet gather together to receive the blessings and benediction of Beloved Lord Gautama. No announcement is made as to the location of activity. By the magnetic power of His Love only, individuals who accept the tenets embodied in His teachings of the Middle Way are guided by their hearts to the correct location.

In 1966, Beloved Gautama transferred the power and authority of this Blessing to Lord Maitreya, who had assumed the office of the Buddha. From that time, Lord Maitreya continues to dispense the Love and Blessings of the Lord of the World to all who assemble every year in the Valley where the Wesak Festival is held.

The Blessings released by Lord Maitreya continue to pulsate in the atmosphere for a 24-hour period. This year, the Wesak Festival will take place on the night of May 6, and all of the chelas who, through their heart's love, tune in to this Holy Ceremony, may magnetize His Blessings, and amplify them throughout the entire planet.

Wesak Meditation

Take a moment to enter the sacred chamber of your heart and request the Power, Illumination, and Love necessary to attend the sacred gathering of the Wesak Festival. Close your eyes and begin to breathe rhythmically. Join your consciousness with every chela and light worker on the planet Earth, activating the Body of Light. Immediately you find yourself standing in the Temple at Shamballa and see blazing before you the mighty Threefold Flame. Bowing in reverence and humility, in the Silence of your heart, you make this call on behalf of all chelas and light workers everywhere.

In the name and by the authority of the Beloved Presence of God, I AM, within each human heart, I invoke the Beloved Holy Triumvirate at Shamballa, the home of the Spiritual Hierarchy:

COME NOW, beloved Ones, and enfold us within the great balancing Flames of Love, Wisdom, and Power, ever blazing within Your hearts. Charge us with Your momentums of Light so that we may, in turn, bless all life through expanded service to our Father-Mother God. Help us to see only the beauty and perfection of God's Divine Plane fulfilled, thus removing our attention from the illusions of the lower self.

INTENSIFY the activity of the Cosmic Threefold Flame at Shamballa and direct this activity through the I AM Presence of each embodied soul. Unite us all within the true feeling and expression of Peace and Brotherhood.

May all humanity discover the reality of the Holy Christ Self within their own hearts, accepting Its many blessings throughout our lives. We so decree it, as God's Most Holy Name, I AM!

Concentrating upon this Flame, begin to examine one color at a time. See only the Pink Flame before you. Continuing to look upon this Flame, it begins to take shape. Before you now stands the embodied form of the Love of God - Lord Maitreya. This Beloved Master - representing the Buddha to our Planet, steps down the Energies and Vibrations of the Kingdom of Heaven so that no soul embodied upon the Earth is ever completely exiled.

Arms outstretched, He enfolds you in His mighty Love and immediately the spiritual fire within your soul blazes up, welcoming this great Being of Light into your aura. Feel His Love filling every cell and organ of your physical body. Blaze it through your mind and memories. Saturate your feeling world and you will quickly see how this Love becomes a magnet that draws all life into your world for a blessing of love and comfort. Grateful for this opportunity, now feel the Love of God expand within you, as Lord Maitreya bids you farewell and departs for the secluded valley in India.

Remaining within the radiation of His Love, expand and radiate this love forth, joining with all other chelas who are meditating with you tonight. See the Temple at Shamballa and the entire Body of Light radiating the pink essence of pure Divine Love... Knowing that you will be joining this great Being of Light shortly, return you attention to the Threefold Flame.

Focusing upon the Golden Flame of God Illumination, it too, begins to take form, as the great Lord of the World, Gautama, now stands before you. This mighty Being is the Supreme Authority for all activities of the Spiritual Hierarchy, and the actual Dispenser of the Gifts and Power of the Godhead. As you look upon Him, you know that TRUE WISDOM comes from facing the God Presence, I AM within, realizing that all Truth, Beauty, and Understanding may only be found within the Flame of your own heart. This is done by listening to the Voice of the Silence.

Bowing before Lord Gautama, He places his hand upon your forehead and you receive an intensification of His Flame and immediately become aware of the physical location of the Wesak Festival and of the fact that - together with the other chelas of The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom, you will act as Honor Guard this night, accompanying His Blessings around the world.

Grateful for this knowledge and privilege, once more turn your attention to the Threefold Flame and concentrate upon the Blue Flame of Power. It immediately blazes forth and the familiar form of Beloved Sanat Kumara stands before you. Your eyes meet in silent recognition. Remember that it was this Blessed One who came to Earth and looked upon those embodied and saw the Pattern of Perfection within the Flame of God of every lifestream. He felt it was worth giving all the Love, Patience, and Light required to manifest that Perfection and He did.

We each ask ourselves; as awakened members of the Human Family how can I not do the same? As this question crosses your mind, your Light increases. Sanat Kumara, seeing the increase, smiles with joy and happiness for it signals that you are ready to accept both the blessing and responsibility, becoming a Light Bearer. You are vested with the Power to change the feeling world of all with whom you come into contact. This will not take place through human will, but through the Power of the Flame that is each lifestream's heartbeat. Words are not necessary between you, as Sanat Kumara bids you farewell and God speed on your journey...

Looking up, you see that the Temple has opened to the heavens. Taking a deep breath, all chelas join as one Body of Light and gently rise into the atmosphere. Directed at inner levels, we now depart from our beloved Shamballa.

Beginning our journey we move westward across the great continent of North America. Looking toward the earth, we see star bursts of light leaving the surface of the planet, as other chelas and lightworkers rise to join us, increasing the size of our forcefield as we move. Looking to our right, the magnificent Light of the great Teton Retreat illumines the heavens as bridges of Light are across the sky, going out in all directions.

Now, looking to our left we see the Cities of St. John. Represented within its great buildings and temples is every hue and color imaginable. These colors radiate forth, creating rainbow rays that fill the atmosphere surrounding the Earth. We see that much activity takes place in the etheric realms! In addition tonight, any individual looking heavenward will see us as a mighty comet streaking across the sky from east to west, as we continue our journey over the Pacific Ocean and countries of the far east.

Nearing our destination we begin to descend into the atmosphere and gently arrive at the chosen location. Many others have already arrived, either in their physical bodies or, just as we have come, in their etheric bodies. Having completed this portion of our work we each take a comfortable position among the others, as silence gently moves across the multitude.

From within this great Silence the luminous Presence of Lord Maitreya takes form above us. He is truly magnificent in His perfection. So exquisite is His Light that you are drawn toward His Presence just to bathe in the substance of Divine Love. Feel the shining Radiance of the Godhead washing away all discord within or surrounding you and you are FREE!

Now, having received the Blessings and Benediction from the Lord of the World, His magnificent Causal Body pours forth His great Love and Light, bringing to the hearts of all in attendance the perfect balance of His Love, Wisdom, and Power. Let us intensify this activity within ourselves by using God's Holy Breath.

Take a deep cleansing breath and we will use the following two statements tonight:

I BREATHE IN LIGHT, ABSORBING BELOVED GAUTAMA'S LOVE FOR ALL LIFE.

I BREATHE OUT, EXPANDING AND PROJECTING HIS QUALITY OF PEACE INTO MY AURA.

(3X slowly and silently focus upon this activity for 5 to 10 minutes.) Now, silently affirm within your soul:

I AM at perfect Peace! I AM at perfect Peace! I AM at perfect Peace!

At that very moment, Legions of the Mighty Elohim of Peace descend into the atmosphere surrounding the valley. They seek out every chela and lightworker in attendance, surrounding and enfolding us in the actual substance, radiation, and power of Their Gift of Peace to bless the world, for Peace is an essential quality that every person must one day draw into their own worlds, holding it so that nothing within or without can ever disturb it. This is MASTERY!

Once again, use the Holy Breath to intensify the quality of Peace on this planet thus assisting the Elohim of Peace expand His quality across the face of the Earth.

I BREATHE IN LIGHT, ABSORBING GOD'S PEACE.

I BREATHE OUT, EXPANDING AND PROJECTING FORTH UNITY AND THE ONENESS OF ALL LIFE.

(3X slowly and silently focus upon this activity for 5 to 10 minutes.) Once more silently affirm within your soul:

I AM at perfect Peace and One with God! I AM at perfect Peace and One with God! I AM at perfect Peace and One with God!

Filled with this Peace and the knowledge of the Oneness of all life, see the Legions of Peace receive our added momentum and gift to enhance their qualities of Love and Peace. As this is done They spread out across the surface of the planet in all directions - north, south, east, and west - and joyously dispense this healing elixir to all life.

Immediately we receive the true meaning of this gathering―the Wesak Festival assists in the process by which all religions and people will blend into the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS thus accelerating Tolerance and Understanding among the entire Human Family.

The time will come when spiritual unity shall manifest across the face of this planet! As this information is fully absorbed into our beings, we now know our part in this process is expanding and projecting this energy and radiation out to all humanity.

Grateful for this opportunity, let your attention gently return to your physical location. Before opening your eyes, take a few moments to feel and accept the vibration of Unity among the entire Human Family. Endeavor to keep this momentum active within your heart and the hearts of all humankind. So be it, Beloved I AM.
