Experiencing the Dark Night of "I AM" in Peru - July 16, 2006 Part Three - The discovery of a new "retrieval" and Dark Night and the importance to our God flame. A look at the practical reality of how lack of Divine Direction affects Peruvians and South Americans. |
The Divine Purpose in the Base Chakra of PeruPart II by Lorraine Michaels July 15, 2006 The bus ride to Trujillo from Lima took about nine hours. It was a hard trip on many levels and I had to wonder why the Masters' wanted us to take this trip up the coast. It certainly wasn't for our entertainment. As I looked back on this trip days later I began to realize that there was a divine plan in order and it was unfolding as it should. We left Lima and wound out through small, tight roads to pick up more passengers at another bus station in Lima. It was a dirty part of town and we were warned not to go to this particular bus station as it was dangerous for tourists. Like in all major cities, theft is a problem. In Peru, it is in every major city and the thieves look for tourists with cameras, backpacks and electronic equipment and passports often get stolen in the process. One of our tour companions had his backpack stolen in a restaurant as two thieves tricked him by hitting his larger pack diverting his attention while the other swiped his smaller pack. He lost his passports and three months of pictures from his travels. When we returned to Miami, we picked up a local bus to our friends house to pick up our car. I sat next to a young man and Kim sat down next to an elder man. Kim was talking to him and discovered he was Peruvian and used to live in Lima but had been living in Miami now for twenty years. So they talked awhile and the young man next to me was paying rapt attention, I noticed. It turned out that the young man had just returned from Lima himself, he could have been on our flight. He said he had been robbed in his taxi. Three men robbed him at gunpoint and stole everything but the clothes on his back, he said. He lost his passport as well. I thought that a strange coincidence that we met up with these two men just after returning from Lima ourselves. But we always use these opportunities to bless another going through difficult times and to share our wisdom as well as learn from others. It certainly brought to home how grateful we were that we had no such experience. And we also learned how much Lima had changed from the perspective of this man. We also heard stories second hand about other travelers who were robbed and had their passports stolen. So we did our best to protect our money and passports, computer and camera, locking them up in the hotels or carrying them with us. I used a money belt the whole trip and felt it was a safe way to guard these important things. It was recommended to be careful picking up taxis on the street, as I believe this young man experienced one of those taxi drivers that are not legit and work in teams to steal from the tourists. We only used taxis from the airport or hostels where they knew the drivers, and we didn't pick any up direct from the streets. We were very happy that our experiences did not include robbery and that we made all our scheduled connections without loss of money or passports.
The tour buses traditional restaurant stops were always at a much inflated meal price from the other local places, usually at restaurants at least twice the regular costs, so we would generally forgo those stops or just get a cup of soup. Soup seemed safest as it had to be heated up and Kim quickly grew to order cream of asparagus soup as his safe choice off the menu. I would experiment with different soups and thereby had more opportunities to have some misses where the soups were not good at all!
The rest of the drive was experienced under this coastal fog which persists all day and shrouds the ocean view that was to our left and the huge sand dunes to our right. The movies continued playing one after another in Spanish as we rolled past the desert that went on and on. My thoughts and prayers went to the people as I saw their circumstances. And as I prayed for "How could I help these people? How can anyone help them? and “What do they need God? What do they lack?" I received back the answer for me to focus on loving I AM THAT I AM twin flame. So I did and I allowed my heart to be a chalice of I AM THAT I AM and focus that God Power there. Little did I know what I was to carry in return. El Morya comments here: Trujillo - the Northern Coast In Peru we would often have children come to you around the main square or in tourist areas and with pleading eyes and whinny voices, speaking almost in a whisper, they would beg you in Spanish to purchase their hard candies in open bags. In tourist areas, children were used to sell the adult crafts. No amount of ignoring stopped these children as anyone who knows young children, they can be very persistent! As we sat on a bench one day this young man was insistently trying to sell something to our daughter. You couldn't know what he was selling as he only spoke Spanish, but our daughter was not bothered in the least as she had a nose in her book. As I waited for her to respond in some way maybe with "no, gracias" or something, I finally spoke out taking matters into my own hands. So what came to mind was "hasta luego!" which means "see you later " but I believe it also can mean "so long!" Not the exact words you would have thought would have worked to stop his hounding. But surprisingly, immediately upon hearing those words he abruptly turned away and left! I had a laugh over that although my daughter saw nothing funny whatsoever. But it certainly worked better than "no gracias" which usually had to be said several times before having any effect. Unfortunately for the Peruvian local craftsman, their
wares were all the same - blankets and sweaters, along with small bags
and knickknacks - and wherever you went there was little difference
in the articles. Once you purchased a few, how many more could
you possibly purchase? Sometimes there were stalls and fairs of these
local crafts, with several dozen stalls together and you wondered how
they could possibly earn a living. A few children were dressed
up in local costume and some carried baby animals such as goats or
lambs, and they would shout “foto’s, foto’s”
hoping you would take their picture and then give them some coins. Sickness Manifests I wondered how we could have picked up traveler’s disease, if that's what it was, so quickly after only one day in Lima and one on the road! We all drank bottled water and were careful what we ate. So I asked the I AM THAT I AM if it was something I had done in neglect or carelessness, a physical cause, or was it an emotional, mental or spiritual cause. I researched on the internet to see if travelers sickness usually carried a fever as well and a few sites did mention you could have a fever. But my return answer was that it was a spiritual cause. And then I thought back to my prayers. I knew it was somehow connected with my prayer, but was not sure what this had to do in relation to it. But we had to take that tour that day as we needed to catch our bus to the next town that evening. So if we wanted to see the ancient temples of Trujillo, it had to be this day. So I went on a hope and a prayer that we both could hold up. But except for a slight headache, and weakness, I held up fine all day. And I didn't hear any complaints from our daughter. The cost that that El Morya mentioned occurred in my physical temple. I would not have dreamed that my prayer would be answered in this way. As I followed the inner direction to focus on I AM THAT I AM twin flame El Morya, he used that channel of love to return to me that which was needed most for the people of South America. I discovered that my body was weak because it was carrying the weight from what entered my being the day before in answer to my prayer. The cost was that my body took on the spiritual illness of the people, but not just for Peru, but for South America. The fever represented the burning of the consciousness of the rejection of God Power. And that which the people needed the most and what I have witnessed so far in South America, especially in Peru, was the lack of God Power. Because of my love for God Power, I was able to do this, allowing the love within me, in my heart where this occurred, to burn, resulting in my entire body feeling this burning. Sometimes we may send out energy from our heart in a call or prayer that will be used to anchor light or allow the angels and Cosmic Beings to use that energy to intercede on our behalf in the physical plane. We also may invoke spiritual energy, such as the violet flame which is a spiritual transmutative fire, to transmute the darkness and negative thoughts and energies that are created in this plane. But sometimes we must do something out of love and experience in the physical temple the pain that others are living, whereby we become one with the problem and one with the answer. Then we can go forth and help in a greater capacity, becoming a living example or teacher or just a compassionate one who understands and knows how to help another. When
I receive the word “right” seven times in a row, it is connected to all seven rays
and if given three times is for the balance of the threefold flame. This then keys me into that there is
a connection with wholeness and oneness in I AM in relation to my thoughts or what I am experiencing at the moment. It can then mean that some act, a person or a group of people have either achieved a certain level
of God Mastery and passed certain initiations on the path of Being or I am being directed that they need to and somehow can help them. Wherever you see religious freedom, however perverted, such as in the evangelistic Christian movements, you still
see progression in the consciousness of the people in gaining mastery
on all seven rays —because they have the freedom of choice. So you see in America hundreds if not thousands
of newly formed Christian movements, as well as many other religions
throughout the land. What is missing in most of the other cultures,
as in South America, is mastery on the seventh ray of Freedom. I was picking up in my body the opposition to the people
there from the darkness. Usually this is a sign that there is
light and those who embody that light are opposed. Whatever was
going on in my body, I left my temple open to the light and anything
God so willed to use my temple for. But I was too unwell to discover for awhile what was the spiritual cause, but it was this opposition from the darkness controlling their light. But it was surprising as you look into the history of the area and the people of Moche and Chimú . The Moches of the North Coast The site of Moche is dominated by two enormous stepped platforms known as the Huaca de la Luna and the Huaca del Sol, or the Pyramids of the Moon and the Sun. Although not much in appearance from the outside, the excavators had cleared the exterior and interior walls of the Pyramid of the Moon, which is the only site open to tourists. There are large painted murals and friezes depicting warfare, complex geometric designs and fearsome portraits of Moche deities, all in bright yellow, red, white, and blacks. The site is protected to keep the original colors and much is left unexcavated to preserve the original walls.
The extraordinary and often gruesome artwork of the Moche primarily is the best evidence that there were sacrificial rituals. Vessels in the form of stirrup-spouted bottles with molded figures and intricate fine-line paintings showing warrior-priests bedecked in imposing ornate garb orchestrating ritual warfare; slitting captives' throats, drinking their blood, and hanging their defleshed bones from ropes; and participating in acts of sodomy and fellatio, were all shown in a context of structured ceremony. In the absence of archaeological evidence, most scholars found many of the scenes too horrific to take literally until mass graves of the sacrificed victims were recently uncovered.
The Huaca de la Luna was created over hundreds of centuries. Each succeeding level was bricked up and entombed to make way for a new temple floor built upon a carefully sealed lower temple. Three of these levels were excavated and it was believed they were walled up as possibly new priests took over or flooding caused the old to be transcended with the new. Some of their temple wall art remained intact and could be seen for each level. There were believed to be six of these entombed temples. The civilization disappeared after it is believed a mega El Niño appeared. Using evidence from ice cores it is thought that around AD 550 to 600, the coastal area where the Moche lived had been hit by a climatic catastrophe. For 30 years the coast had been ravaged by rain storms and floods followed by at least 30 years of drought. It is possible a lot of the human sacrifices were linked to appeasing the Gods during these flood years. Chimú Empire
There
were still human sacrifices in the Chimú civilization but the culture depended
more on the sea for their supply and less to appeasing the gods and thus not as much focus in the art on sacrifices. Floods left them untouched because
of their proximity to the sea. This complex covered over five thousand acres,
or twelve square miles, a city created completely out of adobe bricks surrounded by 32 foot
walls. The Spiritual Purpose in Trujillo So what was I feeling and receiving about the development of the people reincarnated from possibly the Moche or the Chimú? They were not reincarnated from either culture, but what I received was many of the people of the surrounding coastal town were there around the the Chimú territory to raise the consciousness of this ancient civilization. There were still the common people who were reincarnated there, but that was not who I was receiving information about. I was being directed that there were those who had come out of the hierarchy of Venus, as those of long ago came from this hierarchy to raise the consciousness on this planet and who have carried flames to certain parts of the planet to anchor the necessary God quality. What were this hierarchy of Venus here to do? The tales of the Moche were told in their art, but what were the tales of the Chimú? What had been perverted to this Light they had come to anchor? The remains of over 200 fisherman were found accidentally a few years back during a mining expedition assessment by archaeologists. The remains told a tale of a mass sacrificial ceremony probably to the sea god Ni. They had all been stabbed through the heart while blindfolded and hands tied behind their backs. This was the largest mass human sacrifice connected to the Chimú. But about the same amount of bodies were found in a mass grave outside the Temple of the Moon and evidence showed their throats were all slit. The Chimú were expert in the craftsmanship of precious metals, and their elaborate temples and pyramids were adorned with plates of gold. And from the palace gardens, plants and animals were made of precious metals with so much gold abounding that the Incas were even astounded. Even the citadel walls were beautifully painted with murals and relief decoration of animals, fish and gods of their cultural beliefs. But the Incas who conquered them tell tales of how they are also remembered for their rituals of the battlefield. It is said they would capture their enemies and place the head on a staff to show it as trophy for their victory at war as well as for all others to judge them by their strength. You can clearly surmise that power was in the hands of the emperors, and the common people, including the fishermen, were just dispensable figures to use for whatever they willed. It took thousands of men making bricks and assembling them over hundreds of years to build this city. Were they willing builders or slaves to the power elite of their day? The area of the northern coast is one of the most inhospitable areas of the world and is prone to earthquakes, El Niño flooding and severe droughts. These people were experts at agriculture and channeling the water from the mountains through the deserts to their cities. But even the priesthood and the power elite could not stop the destruction of their cities due to these natural forces. What they did is use the common people to appease the gods for their bounty as well as their misfortune. What freedom did the common people have as slaves to the harsh environment and slaves to the power elite of their day? The Spiritual Light Centers It should come as no surprise that as we have traveled to the heart chakra of America to do our spiritual work for the clearing of America's heart chakra, and then we travel down to Miami and the energies of the base chakra. But we did not realize how much more of the base chakra we would be dealing with. We then travel to Lima, the base chakra of Peru, to carry the Light of Victory from Chicago. But not only to the base of Peru, but the base of South America, as it is my understanding from the Ascended Masters that Peru is also the base chakra of South America. But if we look at the world scale, the Americas become the heart chakra of the planet as taught by the Masters in the previous dispensation. I speak of this in my article on America's Spiritual Centers. While the previous sponsored dispensation information is true, there is more as I teach about the emotional chakras of America that are different from the chakra centers taught previously, and that North America is actually the soul chakra and South America is the heart charka. The whole perspective of our travels then changes focus to the heart as we travel throughout Peru, as well as the issue of the base chakra perversions. The Mother Light needs to be raised up to the heart chakra and this is done through the free will of a people or nation. And so we traveled from Lima, the base, to the power center, the throat chakra and then back down to the base and on to the heart chakra of Peru. In Trujillo, where I felt this light and energy in my heart and throat chakra area was the activity that was going on spiritually by our active presence of our God flames in this spiritual center. We know where there is much light, there is darkness. And so the opposing energy to the center of God Power in Peru is Trujillo, where all this misuse in the ancient civilizations occurred. It was there that the capital of Chimú, Chan Chan was located. The land of Chimú ruled over 600 miles on the northern coast. So our trip traveling by bus was for the purpose of bringing our flames up the coast through the land governed by the two civilizations of Chimú and the Moche.
