Love IS Power

"Can we know what power means?"

Great Britain 2007

In the heart of England

Oct. 25 - 28th, 2007

Long ago, the reigning power in Europe was from out of the lands of Great Britain. In current times under the British Empire, this empire spread to control almost one quarter of the world's population and ruling over one quarter of the world's land masses - making it the foremost global power until after World War II.

Records of the history for Great Britain start about 9,000 years ago, when the territory became a series of islands caused by rising waters after the last glacier ice age started receding, with the resultant land being cut off from the rest of Europe.

From the earliest known history of the English territories, outsiders came invading the land seeking control and power. The earliest known peoples inhabiting the lands were the Celtic-speaking Brythons, later called Britons.

The first invaders were the Romans, who named their controlled province Britannia, for the British Isles area. Britannia came from the name Britanniae, which included the islands of Ireland and Great Britain. The island was first invaded by Julius Caesar in 55 BC. Hadrians Wall was built shortly after by the Roman emperor Hadrian, the second of such great stone fortifications, to divide the upper Scottish territory and keep back their raids on Britannia to the south. Some believe this wall was a show of Roman power. The wall was the northern border of the Empire in Britain for much of the Roman Empire's ruling period, and the wall was also the most heavily fortified border in the Empire.

It was in 410 AD that the Roman Emperor Constantine finally removed the whole garrison of Britain to defend the Rhine frontier from attack. The cities of Britain were instructed to look to their own defense. The Romans never returned to Britain.

When the Roman empire fell, Britain was to slip into a 600 year period of wars and fragmentation. The British Isles began assimilating the invading Germanic* groups of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes (of modern day Denmark and Germany) from around the mid 5th century A.D. These peoples became the indigenous people of the south and east end of the island, setting up their own ruling lords and kingships, replacing the Roman centralized government.

After the Celts were pushed West by the Anglo-Saxons, the country came under almost continuous Viking attack for almost three hundred years. Monasteries were their favorite target for the riches they contained and it was believed by the people to be a direct attack upon their Christian beliefs.

By the 9th century, the Viking invasions grew to be a serious challenge until the Norman invasion. And then in 1066 the Norman conquest of England happened which changed the face of power and the course of history for Britain. Eventually the Norman lords displaced all but a handful of Anglo-Saxon lords. In this way the Normans took power and control to dominate the towns and countryside and keep down any revolts. Thus the local aristocracy and the top ranks of power were displaced. In less than a decade, only two Anglo-Saxons remained in authority with any land holdings.

New Norman lords brought feudalism to England for the first time, constructing a variety of forts and castles to provide a stronghold against a popular revolt or increasingly rare Viking attacks.

The Scandinavian link to England was now broken and replaced with a link to France. The new system caused those at the bottom to suffer most, losing all their rights as free men and coming to be regarded as mere property, assets belonging to the manor. In all intents and purposes, they were no more than slaves. In addition, royal forests and all hunting rights therein belonged to the king. The peasantry was thus deprived of a valuable food source in times of bad harvests.

The English Middle Ages brought a succession of kings, most of which did little to promote the betterment of the nation or its people. There were international and civil wars that followed and widespread political intrigue amongst the aristocratic and monarchic elite.

The Masters in England
The Master El Morya came in the form of the tester to two of the reigning kings, King Henry the II and King Henry the VIII. The same soul that was King Henry the II, had come again as King Henry the VIII. As Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, he engaged in a conflict with King Henry II over the rights and privileges of the Church and was assassinated by followers of the king in 1170. Again, he came as Thomas More in the 16th century, as Lord Chancellor to England. He refused to compromise his principles to accept King Henry VIII's claim to be supreme head of the Church of England, a decision which ended his political career and led to his execution for treason.

The same soul of the legendary King Arthur of the Isle of Avalon and Glastonbury — legend has it during the reign of the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century — was also the being of El Morya. The legendary King Arthur is ranked as one of the 100 greatest Britons of all times.

The Master Saint Germain was at the side of King Arthur as his trusted guide, Merlin. Merlin, the alchemist of light and magician, sought to bring about a Britain that was a fortress against ignorance and superstition where Christ achievement could flower—continuing the mission that Jesus started in Lemuria far long ago, and continued through the Atlantean times when he was their emperor. These same souls who were reincarnated in the British Isles, were those who were swayed to turn against Jesus as their monarch in Atlantis.

Saint Germain came to England after his life as Merlin, as Roger Bacon in the 13th century. He was one of the most famous Franciscan friars of his time. He was an English philosopher who placed emphasis on alchemical and occult traditions.

In 1561, Saint Germain was born in London as Francis Bacon. He was was an English philosopher, statesman, and essayist, but is best known as a philosophical advocate and defender of the scientific revolution. His works established and popularized an inductive methodology for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method or simply, the scientific method. In the context of his time science was not separated from such methods of hermeticism and alchemy.

Bacon was appointed by the king to the position of Lord Chancellor. And just a few years later was committed to the Tower of London for bribery and corruption charges. Sir Francis Bacon was the real author of the plays and sonnets popularly ascribed to William Shakespeare. From this life he took his ascension and returned as the Wonderman of Europe, seeking to unite all of Europe.

The years that followed these master's incarnations and test to the kings, were the greatest expansion of colonization any modern nation has seen. Britain's overseas commercial dominance had been able to draw on most of the accessible world for raw materials and markets. This dominance was won through successive victories over the Dutch, Spanish and French between the 16th and 19th centuries. Utilizing its naval supremacy, Britain mastered control of the world's raw materials and markets. And thus it came to be the world's most powerful empire.

In time the new nation of the American colonies and Germany were progressing in their industrialization to catch up with the British and surpass them in many areas. After World War I, the British empire began a decline in military power through millions of casualties, vast liquidation of assets and increasing debt. After the independence of India from British rule, many colonies followed in their independence.

The Mother Land
This land of the British Isles has been through tumultuous times. What has been the cause of this fighting and invasions, power and control from within and without by and to its people? The mystery lies in the power of Mother. In these lands there is anchored the power that has been sought after to control or subjugate by the power elite of this world. This land of Mother goes back to the ancient land of Lemuria, where Mother was adored and the power that she Is was known and worshipped.

The memory of the Mother land has receded in the minds of humankind, but not in the memory of the collective consciousness. When the memory is brought to the surface once again, will the people of God take back that power of Mother to once again adore the Mother that gives them power?

Come join us for four days of contemplation, healing and oneness with the Ascended Hosts as we learn what are the next steps to the restoration and healing of all of the lands of Mother in Ireland, Scotland and Britain. Beloved Jesus will share with us the story we need to hear that will restore Is and her capability to once again be the Mother Is, shining her light to the world.

We will gather together in the heart of England, near Buxton, county of Derbyshire in the Peak District National Park which lies at the southern end of the Pennine hills between the cities of Sheffield and Manchester. Buxton is the highest town in England at 1,000 ft (305m) above sea level.

The Peak District is divided into two distinctly different geological areas, known as the White Peak and the Dark Peak. We will be having our retreat at 70 acre Ravenstor, which stands high above the dales of the River Wye surrounded by the fascinating limestone scenery of the White Peak.

The Peak National Park (in pink) is exactly central to Ireland and Scotland and will afford us the central point to radiate out our love during this gathering.

A landscape of rolling farmland and steep-sided dales, the White Peak lies on limestone deposited 350 million years ago when the land lay under a warm tropical sea. The fossilized remains of the millions of sea creatures that form the limestone can be seen in the drystone walls crossing the fields on the limestone plateaux. Steep-sided dales contain ancient woodland and many wild flowers. Water dissolving the rock forms underground streams and caves.
