?Welcome and Testimonials

Unus opens Feast:Sal-Om everyone. This is the 2009 Feast of Tabernacles, celebrating the Seventh Seal. We pay our salutations to the Divinity within you and welcome everyone to the Mission's 21^st celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles.

Let us take a moment together to pause, close our eyes, quiet our minds, become still, bring God to the Center, and know He is the Greatest! Become One and become unified.

For those of you who are joining us for the first time and may not be familiar with the Feast of Tabernacles as celebrated by the Mission of Maitreya, each year we focus on a different Seal or Message of God in The Greatest Sign. This year we will focus on the Seventh Seal, which is reaching the Goal, Pure Consciousness.

There are seven Feasts during the year, and according to the Calendar of God, the Feast of Tabernacles is the last one of the year, the seventh. The previous Feasts or Holy Days are usually quiet and sober. The Feast of Tabernacles, however, is a joyous celebration of the energy of God on earth at Its Greatest! The Messiah is here! Listen to Him and know His Message! No one goes to the Father except through the Christ, and it is the Christ, as the Seventh Angel (Maitreya GIWH), who reveals everything to humanity. This is the salvation for humanity!

Every Feast of Tabernacles has been a celebration of God's Holy Days according to the Will of God as you can read in the Bible, Leviticus, chapter 23. If you want to know more about the Feasts, you can read THOTH, Essays 1, Tablet 14, "Feasts and Holy Days of the Lord" (/FILES/THOTH/ESSAYS1.HTM/Essays1-14.html).

During these eight days, we focus on God and glorify Him. This year we will learn more about the Seventh Seal, Pure Consciousness.

Pure Consciousness is the state in which the power of the three gunas over the consciousness is overcome, and the consciousness in its pure form (pure intuition) beyond the mind (ego) is realized. Then the oneness with God (universe) is complete, and there would be no Maya left.

Pure Consciousness is the same as Christhood, Christ-Consciousness, State Of Enlightenment, and Being Divine. Divine means: God-like, supremely good. That is the goal of life: to Be(come) Divine (Pure Consciousness).

God is in the state of Pure Consciousness or perfect awareness with control over the three gunas in the universe. Also whoever reaches this state (by His Grace) will gain complete awareness with perfect power over the three gunas of his consciousness and with whatever other power the Lord gives to him.

Whoever overcomes will become His son (Revelation 21:7). He becomes in His image (a son is in the image or likeness of his Father). Such a consciousness is in Pure Consciousness, one with The Father, and the son of God (a god). He himself becomes a center and nucleus for those who recognize the truth (God) through him. He radiates the qualities of God. By his example he becomes the way and the truth, and whoever follows His ways (the Eternal Divine Path) will reach The Father (the Truth, The Light).

However, the true radiating nucleus of the Universe and the controller of all is The Father (God), and it is He who unifies (as The Greatest Sign shows, even in the state of Pure Consciousness, the unit consciousness is under the control of the Father). But because each unit consciousness goes through different experiences, each will become unique in itself as an individual, at the same time be a part and parcel of God (All).

In other words, God (universe) is all, and each individual is specialized through his experiences. God can manifest Himself with special qualities through each individual with different expressions. The total of the individuals (in all levels) with their qualities together manifest all the qualities of God.

Reaching Pure Consciousness is not attainable by Mystical Paths and practices (meditation, chanting, etc.) alone. It is attainable by following the Eternal Divine Path. By creation of the Communities Of Light based on the Eternal Divine Path, we can create an environment that many people can reach this state the fastest way possible.

Therefore, we will all carry these understandings beyond this short time we are together. Then each of us will become a center that the Communities of Light will manifest around. The more such centers we create, the more Communities of Light will be built. The faster we accomplish creating enough Communities of Light to bring the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth, the sooner humanity will be guided into the Golden Age. Therefore, let us all understand these truths and become one with them. The sooner it is done, the better.

We will be a Community of Light during the Feast of Tabernacles. We will celebrate one Seal of The Greatest Sign each day. For example, we will celebrate the first seal Sunday, October 4^th, the second seal, Monday, October 5^th, and so on. The Seventh Seal, however, is always celebrated on Saturday.

We will perform spiritual practices such as meditation, chanting, dancing, doing The Reminder, prayer, study, etc. We are a community together and we will be a Community of Light, the Children of Light.

The schedules for this whole Feast are posted on our website (have a look at the menu "Join Us" and "Feast of Tabernacles": 2009 daily schedule). Maitreya will be with us for some live sessions, noon to 2 PM MST, to answer your questions in an attempt to further clarify this new Revelation from God, on Sunday October 4^th and Tuesday October 6^th. We ask that each of you prepare your questions and send them to: questions@maitreya.org (Note: please review our Questions Policy before sending questions, but also understand that these Feast sessions are an exception and Maitreya is more lenient about the questions He will answer in them).
