Ascended Masters, Shangra-la Mission, Announcement of Maitreya's Sphere of Oneness

Sphere of Oneness

A New Direction and New Website

by Lorraine Michaels

January 12, 2006

I am pleased to announce a new website and direction the Ascended Masters have inspired through us. During our Christmas and New Year's South American conference 2005-06, as we spiraled upward into the Light of Oneness. We received teachings and releases from the Masters on what our path and purpose is here on earth—achieving oneness below while maintaining our oneness Above.

From a personal perspective this was a most personal and one on one conference I have ever experienced while in the Teachings of the Ascended Masters to date. Being a long time student of the Masters' Teachings, I have participated in dozens of sponsored conferences with tremendous positive transformations in myself from these experiences. But this time we experienced something that we all felt that words can barely describe. When a group of people come together in love, open to Divine Direction, and so willing to put aside the human ego and look for the commonality above cultural and language differences, miracles happen.

Remembering my first thoughts as I arrived in Bogotá, and the concerns of how would we ever communicate to each other, I felt this sadness fill my thoughts and feelings. Our arrival in Columbia was delayed twelve hours as the busy holiday season filled the planes. So we had a lot of hours to do nothing but think. I had bought a basic "learning Spanish" book and hoped that I could bone up on my early high school Spanish classes. Most everyone on the flight, including the airline personnel, spoke little or no English. We spent the afternoon in Miami, and found the same circumstances on the streets and in the businesses. Most residents spoke fluent Spanish with many not understanding English and unable to communicate with us.

The scene that greeted us at the Bogotá airport was unlike anything we could imagine or have ever experienced before. As we exited Customs and worked our way through the most crowded airport to the exit door, a sea of Columbian faces greeted us through a glass wall partition. Anxious family members of the flight passengers waited eagerly for their loved ones to emerge through the door. You could barely exit the doorway for the people, and we had no idea how we would find whomever was waiting for us amidst the sea of faces.

But we finally spotted a familiar face and gestured to make our way to a point in the midst of the people. The disorganization and chaos at the airport was our first experience with the Columbian people, starting with the airline on the American side. What seemed to be simple tasks, would often take a long time to complete with many gestures and rapid Spanish words. We got to observe this again and again, as we watched people and their way of communicating. Being outside of understanding what they were saying, you would observe things you might never notice otherwise. The Columbians knew that in order to get through the long lines at the airport, they must start early. So we watched our 7 a.m. flight arrive at the American airlines at 2 a.m.! I intuitively received that our flight was not leaving at 7 a.m. and yet no one knew, as the long line continued to form. The airline knew at midnight, when I called them, yet did not inform all these passengers, except a few that received cell phone calls while standing in line.

The Bogotá airport was much of the same chaos but far greater. We were told that families brought their entire family members to great their relatives, and the people and cars gathered was tremendous. But we finally found the group that gathered to meet us and received the first of the many hundreds of hugs–no thousands it seems!–and the largest bouquet of pink roses I have ever received in my life.

The next day we toured parts of Bogotá and readied ourselves for the evening gathering. We were late–a custom that seems to be part of the culture and even expected and anticipated–and greeted at the door with a line of patient, smiling faces with more roses. As part of the understanding of Oneness, we have been teaching that understanding who we are as a God flame and seeing other people as God flames as well, is essential to the Path of Being One. So each person had worked on discerning what their God flame was and wore a name tag with their name and possible God flame. As we greeted each one and received warm hugs, we also got to see them as their possible God flame. It was a most magnificent, warm welcome and something I will cherish forever.

Only a few people spoke English and some with a few smidgens of English words, yet we got to talk with many people that first evening through the translators who spoke both languages. It was slow and difficult to talk with anyone, so I awoke the next morning feeling this sadness that I could not just talk with people and share freely. I did not know how the Holy Spirit and the Ascended Hosts were going to make this work, but I just knew that somehow we would connect beyond the language differences. By the time I went to bed after that first conference day, I was smiling and feeling so happy and at peace. It was an incredible difference from the morning's first thoughts and feelings. The translators did such a stupendous job, that I felt like in my mind and heart and Being, that we spoke the same language and there were no barriers to our oneness. It was an incredible beginning and the incredulousness only continued.

To say that these people are loving is an understatement. I came from an English background with no personal interaction of hugs and kisses, even from my family. And to witness the warmth and love expressed in these hugs and kisses, not only upon arrival, but very much more on the goodbyes was a cherished experience. And through all the hugs, you would hear the chatter of Spanish being rattled off as they expressed this love and gratitude to you in so many Spanish words. Although you would wish to know what they were saying to you, it didn't really matter because you felt something beyond words that was carried in not only vibration, but in their gestures and eyes and the sound of their voices. The journey into Oneness had begun, and we only continued to spiral into more Oneness as we traveled and met more people.

Each time a dictation was given in English, the group would patiently listen to the dictation, most not understanding any words. And then they would eagerly await the translation, not wanting to even take a break before the words were translated.

The next day we traveled with some of the group to a tour of a dimly lit salt mine that is a 600 feet underground cathedral in the Zipaquira mountain, where Columbian architects have designed the caves into religious places chiseled entirely from salt filled with objects that appear to be made of marble. However, the objects are salt, and the cathedral was once a thriving salt mine. We even received a dictation from Mother Mary in one of the salt cathedral's side chapels, where she gave a judgment on what has remained hidden and underground that needs to be exposed.

This day was special for one of the translators, as it was her birthday, but also the day of her public acknowledgement for her outstanding work to translate Mother Mary's rosaries, but even more for her accomplishment of rising to the oneness with Mother Mary and the Ascended Masters to be able to receive and deliver the Word through dictations. This was an accomplishment that touched our hearts more than words can describe. To see a student of the Ascended Masters, and the Shangra-la Mission, rise up to oneness through much sacrifice, work and surrender, and to be a messenger of the Word delivering the Word in Spanish, was the first in the history of this past century. Even in our short years of being Messengers for the Great White Brotherhood we have seen those who claim to take the Word from the Ascended Masters come and leave. Not because we are not open to other messengers of the Word, but because they came with personal agendas, riding our sponsorship, hoping to become the saviors of the world and looked up to, but not willing to go the route of surrendering their human ego creations and becoming more through diligence and hard work. But more surprises were to come in the weeks that followed, as we watched the people blossom in the Light of Being One.

As the days progressed, El Morya, as the representative of Father and God Power, took us on a journey of understanding "more". What the people of the Light generally lack in South America is God Power, and he was not going to leave the people in the conference, nor the Columbians and South Americans in general, as they were. He was teaching them God Power and the way to that God Power, which can only be obtained through becoming one with the Christ consciousness. It was an astounding journey, from my perspective and as the "director" of his directions, because I had to learn as well. And he was not going to tell me how to learn this Oneness, but that I must discover within myself only by "Being One" with him and with God I AM.

Each day I personally spoke with individuals, helping them with understanding their God flame and correcting their delightful attempts to discern it on their own. We learned certain questions to ask each other to discover what is their true flame, but we also learned that their flames were much more than we could find words to describe. But throughout the days, we discovered that the most important thing all of us could do to obtain Oneness was to first understand who we are and strive to become one with the flame that is our center of Being and how God created us.

For weeks I had been under training to understand a new concept. I received two words, which were given to me without explanation, but that I must discern on my own. The words were "reserved" and "reserve". But I did not discover their full meaning until we traveled to our second half of the conference outside Bogotá, located in a fertile agricultural region which produces coffee, silk, and sugarcane, nestled in a valley outside Pereira and Armenia. Although we had plane tickets to fly into Pereira, I felt the calling to drive with others who were not flying. But our host wanted so much for us to fly and see the area from above, but finally relented when El Morya told her to let me go by ground. It seems he had other plans for me, as the trip by ground was incredible. But I did return by air, and did get to see the land from above, while Kim drove with the return driving group.

We went in two groups, one by rented bus and I with another group in a personal vehicle. From the moment we left, until our arrival almost nine hours later, we worked with El Morya. It was a mini conference and training, and I discovered later that everything we learned and discussed was to be transferred to the conference attendees who were attending from the surrounding countryside around Armenia.

The drive was incredibly beautiful, as we traveled over part of the Andes range, going up the mountains and down the mountains several times until we reached our destination. This road is the only road from Bogotá to the coast, and much traveled by large semi trucks bringing supplies. So the road is quite difficult to drive for timid drivers, as you must pass these trucks to go around them as they labor up these mountains. Astoundingly, the roads are accident free, although the taxi drivers and most on the road, are driving very fast and seem to shoot in and out of lanes as if they were on a race track! We could only reason that you had to be extremely vigilant to drive on Columbian roads, and thus in that vigilance, accidents were prevented.

We learned how important it is to not only be connected to the Spirit through the Christ consciousness and I AM, but that we must be connected to the earth Mother and the needs of the people. In our July 2005 conference we discovered, through a profound lesson of truly spiritual people in the Hare Krishna's, how one can be so connected to their God flame and the Spirit, yet neglect the physical and Mother aspects of Being. We were subjected to conditions of lack in the physical in our basic needs of hot showers, clean surroundings and nutritious balanced meals served on time. We were meant to experience these conditions and had originally thought our lesson was to love and forgive no matter the conditions. But we finally understood that our lesson was on this lack of oneness on the matter plane. Being one with the Father is not enough. We must "Be" one with the Mother as well, else we cannot truly "Be" one with the Father.

From the moment I stepped out of our vehicle on the conference grounds outside Armenia where the second half of the conference was being held, I felt a tremendous surge of Light energy. Although everyone was scheduled to tour the local sights and tropical gardens the next day, I was directed to stay with the flame of "Oneness" that was anchored in this place. By leaving and not guarding the flame, we could compromise the entire conference and victory which we obtained through this flame. So the entire week I stayed on the property with the flame and we tapped into this flame for more continued victories personally and collectively.

El Morya as Love
The first conference day El Morya came with a dictation of the fiery God Power that he is. Later that day he came again, this time in the fiery love of God Power. We discovered the next day what this really was, as a group of us separated out to give a rosary with El Morya. I was privileged to lead the rosary with another person from that group. Each one of us experienced things we had never felt before. As we gave the 2005 Infinite Light rosary, we experienced the power of Father-Mother God differently through section one through four, under the direction of El Morya. We were a group of about twenty individuals, yet we gave that rosary in such oneness and purpose that we felt tremendous light and power both as God the Father and God the Mother.

What became clear after this rosary was the power of Father as love. Most in the group who chose to come with me and do this rosary with El Morya, rather than the other group with Mother Mary, felt a special affinity with Morya. They came because they realized El Morya as love. Most students of the Masters have perceived El Morya as the stern master and disciplinarian. But in all reality, there is the love side of El Morya that you cannot find until you come into some form of oneness with Father-Mother God that transcends doubt and fear, unworthiness and many other attributes of the human ego.

As I worked one on one many hours each day with the conference attendees, I began to see the problems of the Columbian people. El Morya had shown those of us who drove to Armenia, that the Columbians had in their culture many abuses of the throat chakra and the spoken word. The culture was that the men in the general populace used their throats in profane words, withholding words of love to their spouses. They often drank heavily and gathered together to spend their wives' work salary to drink, party and sing. In the poorer areas many of the children and wives were abused and neglected. Youth gathered together to become "sicarios" which are hired killers for the drug traffickers or political dissidents. They would pray to the Virgin Mary, fill their temples with heavy rock music and they go to murder their victims, often doing this work to buy their beloved mothers gifts of modern technology.

What became clearer and clearer was the lack of power and Christ wisdom of the peoples. They had a strong love and religious conviction for the mother of Christ in Mary, and for the Christ as their Savior, but not as their exemplar. Many of the peoples of Columbia and especially in certain parts of Bogotá lived in extreme poverty. Most have this profound love for the Virgin Mary, are devout Catholics and have a love for giving the rosaries to Mary. But they have not the power of the Father, and they have not been able to rise above the physical limitations of the matter plane, the outside control and violence of the abuse by governmental control and warring from the paramilitary and drug barrens. Although they pray and love, they have not been able to transform their limitations in their societies or homes. El Morya showed us all this and how to help them.

Kim and I were blessed to witness a most spectacular scene in the sky as we drove to the airport on our way to South America. What appeared in the sky and lasted for at least a half an hour, was a pillar of fire.

It was a sign from El Morya, through the Sun, with what appeared to be thousands of angels as each cloud formed a pink hue around this blazing yellow fire sun. Although we tried to capture the picture digitally, the image was much more than a camera could capture. And we both knew this was a special gift to us and a sign of in the sky for what was our mission and purpose was forthcoming in South America. We saw El Morya as love and beheld the beauty of the power of the Sun as love. And we discovered that love in South America. But the people needed to be connected to God Power.

During my trip to Armenia, we began compiling a rosary preamble to go along with the new rosary to Latin America. A call was written to expressly deal with this lack of power and the abuses that assailed the people. We made many calls to invoke the Light into these areas and most important, El Morya gave us the right words and the understanding that El Morya, Mother Mary and Jesus would intercede for the peoples to bring the balance of Father, Mother and Son to the Latin Americans. We felt strong in our conviction to serve and give together these prayers on behalf of the peoples of the Americas to help them. Our first Latin America rosary given together with almost a hundred people was a powerful victory for the Light.

As the conference continued we learned how to Be more in God Power. As I worked individually and sometimes with Kim, we saw how many individuals had as their God flames "power" as well as other aspects, but were not able to express that power because of the abuses to them whenever they tried to express their God Being. We saw many with tremendous flames of love, service, vision and unconditional love as their God flames, along with some aspect of power. This group gathered together were beautiful Beings of Light. Many were from angelic bands as we discovered during their sessions with us.

El Morya showed us that "reserve" was the aspect of Father and Spirit that we can access through Being I AM. He showed us that "reserved" was the Omega aspect of ourselves in the matter plane. It is not enough to be Omega in the physical, we must connect with the Father Alpha through the Christ consciousness, the wisdom of the Son. Without God Power we are not whole and complete because we do not have the balance of Alpha and Omega in our Being or in our world. Yet we cannot access that Power, as it is on "reserve" except through the Christ, which we have been admonished to become through many Ascended Master sponsored organizations.

But the South Americans do not generally see themselves as worthy to be one with the Christ, let alone the Father. We find in the New Testament Jesus telling us again and again, "I and my Father are One." (John 10:30) "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14-6) Repeatedly we receive the message that the Father is our true heritage, but while in the matter plane, only accessible through the Son or Christ consciousness. If one is cut off to that oneness because of lack of self worth, fears or abuse of the Father light through the throat chakra, how will they receive the gifts of the Father or the Holy Spirit? Or the power to change their lives to inherit the kingdom of God and the abundant life while on earth?

We do not have to wait until our ascensions or passing from the screen of life to have this oneness or abundant life. God is amply able to take care of all of our physical needs through the Mother when we are able to let go of being the doer and when we let go of the human creations that stand in our way of Being. When we become one through Mother, as we learn through Guardians of the Mother Light, and raise that Mother Light to the heart and crown chakras, we have become that "reserve" polarity to the "reserve" of the Father.

We learned throughout the conference that above our I AM Presence, which we can become one with during our existence on earth and not wait until our ascensions, that there is a higher goal. There are steps to this oneness given in the abundant teachings already received on what it means to become the Christ and merge with the Christ consciousness delivered through prior dispensations and amply discussed on the "Ask Real Jesus" website. When oneness is obtained with the I AM Presence, we may surrender our Christ self back to the universal Christ consciousness and begin our inner journey into Oneness with I AM THAT I AM.

Each one of us at this point can become one with our Twin Flame in Spirit to have the balance of Father-Mother God, Father in Spirit as I AM THAT I AM and we here below as Omega in matter as I AM. We thus each would have a twin flame I AM THAT I AM, being a twin to the greater Being and flame from whence we came. Through this oneness, this Being I AM THAT I AM twin flame we find our own "Great Divine Director". When we surrender to this higher direction, all life is abundance through the Christ consciousness becoming one with the God consciousness. There is no lack. There are no fears in us. There is only God, here below as Above, through us, the conscious Being here below. We are then in the Golden Age and yet exist in the world that is yet far from that Aquarian consciousness in certain parts of the world.

El Morya speaks in his dictation on the last day of the conference, January 4th, that many of us are his Divine Twin Flame. El Morya as I AM THAT I AM is my twin flame in Heaven. He is the Divine Director of my life. He is Divine Love. He is more. I was privileged to connect many people with their Divine flames and with their Cosmic I AM THAT I AM twin flame. I was privileged to see many become empowered, connecting with the flame of Father and understanding the flow of Being I AM through Alpha and Omega.

As we finished our conference back in Bogotá and then arrived at the airport and said our goodbyes, El Morya as I AM THAT I AM had a surprise for us. I again felt this tremendous light in my Being and as the body of God on earth, and through that Light, we witnessed the unfolding of His love and power through the Son that we are. We were approached by the airline representatives asking us if we were willing to give up our seats on the Thursday flight and leave the following Sunday. Although we hesitated for awhile and the seats were then offered to someone else and accepted and we lost our opportunity temporarily, we decided to accept the offer and allow God's will to be done. There were 12 seats that needed to be surrendered, and three individuals that had accepted reneged and we again had the opportunity to take the offer and stay. Everyone was so pleased, as we received three round trip tickets anywhere that the airline flies and the opportunity to return to South America at the airline's expense.

What followed in the next three days was a tremendous opportunity and healing for all of us, as a small group of leaders worked together and played together visiting famous Bogotá sights, one of which is Monserrate, the 10,000 foot mountain that dominates the city of Bogotá. Atop that mountain is a 17th century shrine to Christ as the fallen Lord. It is a pilgrim destination and where many have gathered over the centuries to pray to Mary and the Christ Jesus.

Below the mountain we visited the once home of Simon Bolivar, (1783-1830) who was one of South America's greatest generals. His victories over the Spaniards won independence for Bolivia, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. He is called El Liberator (The Liberator) and the "George Washington of South America."

The grounds of his home were spectacular with gardens of many species of flowers, plants and trees. We discovered the spiritual significance of our connection with Bolivar, as well as the connection to Monserrate just above. These places are the spiritual focuses of Bogotá where much light is anchored and we were privileged to anchor more in God Being for God's work to continue in healing the people and a nation.

By the time we left on Sunday, all were transformed even more. We heard exciting news that one of the individuals attending the conference from a group outside of Armenia had just delivered a dictation from the Buddha to the local rosary group. And other individuals followed, who were awakening to their past and given an opportunity to eliminate the blocks to oneness. Several people told us of their experiences of being woken up at around 3 a.m. and receiving teachings personally from Mother Mary or another master.

Just before we left Colombia, El Morya led Kim to discover that his purpose and mission with Jesus and the Ask the Real Jesus website was completed. A new thrust was about to begin, and the website would end. We later discovered that it would not end, but begin anew. Jesus would not longer address the human consciousness by answering those questions coming from that state of consciousness.

I received the inspiration from El Morya, one beautiful morning while in Colombia, that it was time to create a new website to God consciousness and the relationship of I AM THAT I AM. This website would house the More and the advanced teachings of I AM THAT I AM. Lord Maitreya delivered his dictation the week prior on the new school of oneness called "The Sphere of Oneness." So we named the website, “"Maitreya's Sphere of Oneness" in honor of this new dispensation Maitreya initiated at this New Year's conference in South America. We believe this website will reflect this course of direction to Oneness and we look forward to the many new teachings that God will give us through I AM THAT I AM.

It is created and waiting for hearts to awaken and rise up to their missions to bring in these teachings from the I AM THAT I AM. A few have been called and know they are ready to contribute their God flames and share more with us. More need to arise and pick up their torches. And we hope that when you see this website and its potential, those of you who are to be a part of the creation and contribution to it, will be inspired to begin.

I am honored to announce the opening of "Maitreya’s Sphere of Oneness.” Those of you who feel the inspiration within to be a part of this mission of I AM THAT I AM, we hope that you will follow your hearts and prepare yourselves for a mighty work ahead. The Masters are asking that those who will write for this website receive personal training with myself on kinesiology, so that you may enhance your inner communication to a higher level of I AM THAT I AM control.

Always Victory!
