Spirit of Sarasota - June 9, 2008

Spirit of SarasotaSarasota

There are so many stories of how we came to Sarasota. Many say that from the moment they arrived they knew it was different. It wasn't just great beaches and a tropical climate but something much more. Whatever it was, we came for a visit, went home, sold our homes, quit our jobs and came here to live. Like everyone else, I felt it immediately when I first visited in 2004. There was a knowing feeling that I had to live here, so I returned in January 2006 to call it home.

No place of similar size has as many spiritual centers, alternative medicine practitioners, energy workers and healers of different modalities and disciplines, or spiritual teachers and life coaches. On any day or night there are so many classes, workshops, seminars, or meditation groups being offered, its like being in a spiritual all-you-can-eat buffet.

So was it a calling that brought us here or a shared vision? We came and sometimes within days found like-minded people with whom we resonated instantly. We met in classes, spiritual centers, bookstores or health food stores. Everywhere we went, there we were. Moving easily through the community we formed bonds, alliances and meditation groups, with a common purpose. We realized our shared talents and skills complemented one anothers forming a more cohesive wholeness as though we were all connected in some invisible net.

Sarasota LightningFrom the time of arrival everyone seems to have had a unique feeling about Sarasota and what it represents. Many saw it as a future city of light describing it in many different ways. When writing about the Prism of Light over the city in the May 19th issue two readers shared poems they'd written. One poem was dated 1993 the other was dated 2007. Both described seeing "a future city of light on the bay." Not coincidentally, in classes, restaurants, coffee shops, and gatherings over the past two years, others shared the many books (Keys of Enoch, Secrets of the Amenti, Calling Humanity) which said that Sarasota was a future "sacred city of the new earth" or a "portal or stargate."

In a dream a few weeks ago this message was received and recorded in a log. We must leave the world of conscious thinking and enter the world of the unconcsious where the state of allowance lets ideas flow and truth reign. From the unconscious and in its flow you'll know that this is the world of endless possibilities. It is the home of vivid color, vibration, ideas and creation. In that unconscious world all of us saw the idea and the possibility of a city of light. From the world of ideas and creation the Vision came forth. It unfolded over the past five or six months in dreams, meditations, study and research, making itself known more clearly as the months went by.

So what was the Vision? That from the ethereal and unseen worlds and dimensions we can seed a future-generation city of love, light, healing, writing, art, and music. That this Vision must be illuminated and ignited during the summer solstice of 2008. That we would hold the Vision of a diamond prism of light overJerusalem at night the area stretching from Bradenton-Holmes Beach in the North to Warm Mineral Springs in the South, from Siesta Key Beach in the West to Myakka State Park and Lakewood Ranch in the east. That we would be one of 22 cities of light around the planet that would become light-beacons and sacred sites for future generations. That after igniting the prism of light over Sarasota that by our collective intention, we could also anchor a portal gateway over the troubled city of Jerusalem seeding a New Jerusalem that would be filled with hope, love and light for all people.

Within hours of releasing the first map of the diamond shaped prism, those who heard about it stepped forward to anchor the Prism. There was an effortless and seamless alignment of friends, lightworkers and spiritual leaders who formed and declared themselves ready to participate because they too had seen or felt the vision. As soon as the full information was shared with others in classes, meditations groups, spiritual centers and gatherings they embraced it and became its advocates, hosts and attendees.

Each of us is a prism of light within the greater Prism. We are facets in the greater prism reflecting the light and love of the work we do whether it's healing, teaching, alternative medicine, art, music, writing or spreading joy and love by our very presence. We were called to this area by the shared Vision and we will not only seed the future-light city of Sarasota but return to inherit it in the generations to come.

Hope to see you at one of the 9 locations or at Unity's Labyrinth in the evening.
