The Harmonic Convergence went on in 1987. Also what happened at that time was, through this energy vortex, we actually brought new energy to this planet, an energy which we'd never worked with since Atlantean times. In Atlantean times we'd managed to bring this energy to planet Earth and the people of the planet, but the emotional bodies of the humans weren't actually developed enough to be able to really move into the focus of total unconditional love so we had to withdraw the energy. It had actually been withdrawn then from planet Earth until 1987. So then, in 1987, a vortex was created through the Harmonic Convergence at the same time as Sanat Kumara was doing his part of it. And this energy, we really didn't have a name for it at the time because we really didn't know if we'd be able to get it here and anchor it through this Harmonic Convergence. So after a lot of deliberation by these beings known as the Galactic and Ascended Masters, and we'll tell you a little bit about them in a minute, after a lot of deliberation between those guys and girls and the other people that were involved on planet Earth, we decided that we'd call this energy Mahatma. And I'm sure that most of you have heard this word Mahatma - you know, Mahatma Ghandi - and it's very commonly used in India. It means grace. So we decided to call this energy Mahatma because it's a very easy word to remember.

So we decided that this energy would be called Mahatma, as I said the reason being that it's a very easy word to say and it's a very easy word to remember. So the whole thing is to uncomplicated things. There've been many many complicated things put out in conjunction with so-called spiritual life, and this thing we call en-lightenment, en-hyphen-lightenment, and it's caused a lot of confusion. But in fact the Mahatma energy is a very beautiful energy and the reason for that is that everybody knows there is a Creator Source. Some people just call Mother/ Father God, God, or they call God Krishna, or they call God Buddha or whatever, and that energy has always been present because that is the creative energy. But this Mahatma energy is the personal energy of the aspect of Mother/Father God which we call the I AM presence. All beings present also have an I AM presence, by the way. The I AM presence is often confused with the higher self, the overself or the oversoul or whatever but we're not going to go into that either right now. So this energy of the I AM presence of Mother/Father God is just pure unconditional love. And this energy, like all energy, has colour with it and the easiest way to perceive this energy is gold/silver with a hint of violet in it.

Well, today was the start of the 10th anniversary of the Harmonic Convergence, and people have been, since twelve o'clock midday in the United Kingdom or twelve o'clock midday wherever you are on the planet, groups of people have been gathering together and they've been meditating and they've been grounding energy. And on top of that there's also been the world-wide grounding of the Mahatma energy, and that's the first time it's ever happened on this planet in such a big way. Now when you ground Mahatma energy in a group, what we have is a multiplication by ten. Don't ask me how it works but this is the information that I get from the upstairs department. I know once, two years ago, when I worked with fifty people on the island of Jersey in a dolmen, that there was very definitely to me the energy of five hundred people. It was incredible. Afterwards people gave me feedback from all around the world that they felt it coming through the gridwork. Of course, we were working on a dolmen which is a very powerful energy line. So today we've actually had millions of people grounding the Mahatma energy, and I don't know what other people have actually felt today in themselves, but I know what I've been feeling is just this real big wave of unconditional love, and this real big wave of nice, what could you say, nice sort of chilling, laid back energy.

So we've told you a bit about the Mahatma. And also as well another thing to know about the Mahatma energy is that it's never ever been misused in any way, shape or form. All the other energies we have to work with on planet Earth have at some time or another been used to control people or to hold them in fear or to disempower them or whatever, all kinds of things like that. So most people, or a lot of people, have blocks in their cellular memory against energies and they can't work with it. But the Mahatma energy has never been subjected to that so people don't have a block against it either and that's what makes it so easy to work with. Well, what we're going to do to start off with before we start working with Sam and George, we're going to give you an experience of the Mahatma energy. We've said that it's very easy to work with but we're going to, instead of just doing a five minute meditation and affirm that we'll allow the Mahatma energy to flow through our hearts, what! we' ll do is a whole meditation. We're going to work with our twelve chakra system. Most people don't understand or don't realise, a lot of people still think that we're only working with seven chakras or seven energy centres in our bodies. Other people have discovered we're working with twelve. Other people have discovered we're working with fifty, but what we really know now is that we're working with at least three hundred and fifty two chakras in various aspects of multidimensional time and space. But during this meditation we're going to work with our twelve chakras and this meditation will either make you stay until morning or you'll just disappear very shortly after we start. So it will be interesting to see what happens.
