To Be Ready for this Moment in History

Mr. Barrios told his audiences in Santa Fe that we are at a critical moment of world history. "We are disturbed," he said. "We can’t play anymore. Our planet can be renewed or ravaged. Now is the time to awaken and take action."

"Everyone is needed. You are not here for no reason. Everyone who is here now has an important purpose. This is a hard, but a special time. We have the opportunity for growth, but we must be ready for this moment in history."

Mr. Barrios offered a number of suggestions to help people walk in balance through the years ahead. "The prophesized changes are going to happen," he said, "but our attitude and actions determine how harsh or mild they are."

• We need to act, to make changes, and to elect people to represent us who understand and who will take political action to respect the earth. Meditation and spiritual practice are good, but also action.
• It’s very important to be clear about who you are, and also about your relation to the Earth.
  
• Develop yourself according to your own tradition and the call of your heart.But remember to respect differences, and strive for unity.
  
• Eat wisely. A lot of food is corrupt in either subtle or gross ways. Pay attention to what you are taking into your body.
  
• Learn to preserve food, and to conserve energy.
  
• Learn some good breathing techniques, so you have mastery of your breath.
  
• Be clear. Follow a tradition with great roots. It is not important what tradition, your heart will tell you, but it must have great roots.
  
• We live in a world of energy. An important task at this time is to learn to sense or see the energy of everyone and everything: people, plants, animals. This becomes increasingly important as we draw close to the World of the Fifth Sun, for it is associated with the element ether – the realm where energy lives and weaves.
  
• Go to the sacred places of the earth to pray for peace, and respect for the Earth which gives us our food, clothing, and shelter. We need to reactivate the energy of these sacred places. That is our work.
  
• According to Mr. Barrios’ reading of the Mayan calendar, if war happens in November 2002 or after, then it’s bad, but not catastrophic. But if it happens between April and November 2003, it will be catastrophic. Really bad. It could eventually result in the death of two-thirds of humanity. "So stay active," he said. "If we are active, we can transform the planet. The elders watch to see what happens."
• Many Mayan elders and knowledge keepers may be eliminated in the next few years. For the first half of the current Katun (20-year period) the dark side has a lot of power. But that will pass 3 to 4 years from now. The tide can turn. Amazing things are going to happen.
• One simple but effective prayer technique is to light a white or baby-blue colored candle. Think a moment in peace. Speak your intention to the flame and send the light of it on to the leaders who have the power to make war or peace.

Sit quietly, in a meditative-like state. To get to this state, take a few deep breaths while sitting in a relaxed position. Tighten up all muscles in the body and relax them. Notice where you have stress or pain and let it go. Forgive everyone everything. Ask if there is anything you need to let go of. Surrender anything that comes up for you. Ask for forgiveness for any mis-takes you have made. Settle into your heart, in the present moment. Do not go into the future or the past.

Before starting pray; Not my will, but Thy will be done.

Using mental visualization (projecting a vision of an image or event in one's mind), "see" and/or feel a white positive flow of energy extended from a Higher power/God/Universal Source to YOU from above or from within you to Rep. Conyers and the other members in Congress that are working with him for peace. Then extend that same energy to everyone else in Congress, the Pentagon, CIA, etc.

Everyone can see or feel different things, but it might look like a white silken thread of energy spreading throughout Congress and connecting to each of those members.

See the white God/heart energy cleansing, healing, and dispelling darkness…. Pray that each of these leaders receives protection, healing, divine guidance, help, strength, hope, and inspiration. Ask for an army of light beings or angels to help you.

See and feel the love and peace spreading like a virus, infecting everyone with kindness and compassion. See, feel, and be in that place as long as possible and as intensely as possible.  

Visualize and feel the end result, where everyone is living in peace and love, sharing and giving.

Slowly come back to the room and to your body.

This is a powerful technique. The above, whether done by one person or a group is actually very important work. Peace warriors can work on the inner planes using this for hours at a time, each day. The energy work that is done in this manner is just as important or even more important than the work done in the halls of Congress.

This work might only be possible for a minute to start with, but just like a muscle, it can be built up with practice to much longer time periods
