Maitreya Opens The Feast Of Tabernacles 1990

The Feast of Tabernacles 10/03/90

We begin our second Feast of Tabernacles today. We welcome everyone who came from last year, who joined us again this year. It's nice to see that we have a lot of people back from the last Feast. And also we welcome the newcomers who have joined us this year for the first time.

We hope that we keep growing more and more every year. Eventually one day hundreds and thousands of people all around the earth will keep these Feasts. The Feast of Tabernacles is one of the Feasts that God demanded to be kept Holy, as His Holy Days of the year.

This Feast will be the seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles. A tabernacle is a tent, a house, a place that God wants for Himself. He wants to have a house, or to be invited to this place, so humanity can refer to Him and glorify Him for these seven days. They can gather together, meditate together, sing together, praise the Lord together, and in Joy, have a feast. As we just heard [Scripture had been read], "Let's make a loud noise unto the Lord."

Singing is a loud noise, isn't it? We also sing and dance with the tune of Haree Om Shrii Hung (HOSH), Om Nam Kevalam. The meaning of this great mantra is, The Goal Of The Life Is To Be(come) Divine (God), That Divinity (God) Is Everything.

Don't let anyone intimidate you that chanting and dancing is against the Bible's teachings. Read the book I Kings when Saul was instructed to go in a special direction. There he eventually met a group of Prophets who used musical instruments, and sang and danced, and would prophesy. This process is the same as the Kirtan we do with the HOSH mantra.

The other goals are secondary. Any other goal is OK. We can become a lawyer. We can become a teacher. We can become a chiropractor. We can become anything we want to be, but at the same time the real goal is to be(come) Divine. As we said, the meaning of the HOSH mantra is The Goal Of The Life Is To Be(come) Divine. That is the only and highest goal in one's life.

The Bible (which is the base for all the main religions of the world), is really the only Scripture where God gave an outline of what Holy Days He wants us to keep, and the Feast of Tabernacles is one of them. We can see that He has commanded us, that He wants us to keep it forever and ever.

It doesn't belong only to one group or one period of history. He wants it to be kept forever. This Feast has a lot of meaning. Those seven days lead to the seventh period, the significance that six days are the six thousand years that have passed from the beginning of this revelation, and the seventh day is the day when time stands still, the Joy of knowing God comes to man, and the Kingdom of God will come on earth.

The six days are also like the six levels of consciousness and on the seventh we reach Pure Consciousness. Seven is the number of joy, happiness and oneness, and all the wars and rumors of wars that we hear now are going to vanish away. They will be no longer in this last period of progress of this generation.

We can see here right now what is happening on earth. We can see that all the signs are here that something has gone wrong on this earth. We are fighting for our country. We are fighting for our religion. We are fighting for our race. We are fighting for every little thing on earth.

God has brought everything together through us. Let's unify the religions. Let's unify the systems. Let's go beyond the narrowness of different cultures, racism, religionism, etc. Let's unify everything that humanity can and must unify.

Our focus is on God. We are color blind. This is the same God of Abraham and Isaac and Israel. It's the same God of Moses and Christ and Muhammad and Buddha and us. Indeed, we are not from this earth, but from God. Our roots are not here, but are in heaven with God.

It's the same God who has revealed all these things over and over to humanity as different revelations, a part of the Eternal Divine Path. Every time He brought this revelation, He also brought the concept of the community, the community based on married couples following the Eternal Divine Path. That is the strength of the community. The Communities of Light will be created. The whole system and the whole Kingdom of God is based on the Communities of Light.

So we can see that it is very simple: The whole base of the Kingdom is the creation of the Communities of Light.

Now, we are a Community of Light together here in this center for a week. Let's be a community. Let's learn the saying, "Love one another as I love you." Let's share and be together. Let's be a community for a week and see how it feels to be a community. Let's have this Feast of Tabernacles with the theme of "The Answer? Communities of Light!"

The Communities of Light are the answer. They create a good environment for everyone. They go beyond the borders between nations. They go beyond the borders of religions, races, and eventually we will learn how to live with one another, and Love one another as God Loves us.

How long can we fight with one another, kill one another and create an earth that is unsafe? It's unsafe physically. It's unsafe emotionally. It's unsafe intellectually. It's unsafe spiritually. No one on earth is good or has the answer. We have the answer. It is very simple. The answer is, Communities of Light.

So let's make this Feast a Community of Light, and be together and act as a community. Let's bring God's Kingdom, at least for a week, here together.

If I can be of any help, let me know. Also we will do it together. Can we do it? [All answering, "Yes"]
