[Seattle, 1998 Ceremony] | [Amherst, 2001 Ceremony]

Eon currently conducts a Ceremony to Remove Fear on a twice monthly basis. Ultimately, as the Age of Fear nears it's end, and as we get closer to the Age of Hope, Eon will conduct these rituals on a daily basis at his spiritual center and throughout the world.

Eon says the Age of Fear has an energy that does not want to release humanity graciously. Fear wants to go out with a bang. Eon, and countless other spiritual guides, teachers and people of good will have come to help humanity through this difficult transition.

Please see Eon's own comments below about his work to lift the wet blanket of fear off humanity.

Highlights from Eon’s Ceremony to Remove Fear
Seattle, Washington, December 12, 1998

It is the greatest thing in the universe, the greatest thing there ever has been, to gather together in the name of hope, and love, and peace. That is the greatest thing, because you must ask yourselves, "What is a soul? What am I? Who am I, and why am I here?"

Everyone asks themselves these questions sometimes. Some people spend their entire life trying to answer them. Others spend their entire life trying not to ask those questions. But still they come up. Yes. We’re not going to answer it for you today, completely, because everyone, every single one, must answer that question themselves. To be given the answer is meaningless. To discover the answer is infinite. Therefore, life is difficult, because difficulty brings questions. And questions bring answers.

But life does not have to be hard, even though it is difficult. One of the reasons life is so hard in these times is because, for the last five hundred years, the human race has been laboring under a severe burden of fear. Every era of human civilization has its own tone, its own coloration. There have been eras of wisdom, eras of enthusiasm, eras of peace, eras of love, eras of anger, eras of grief. Every era’s tone permeates the thoughts, and the words, and the actions, and the ideas of the people within that era.

And this era is the Age of Fear. For five hundred years, human beings have been affected by fear, whether they feel it or not. Everything the human race says, does, thinks, imagines, hopes, wants, is colored by fear. This fear more or less keeps each individual from truly reaching their complete potential. So this fear is a big blanket on everyone, a big wet blanket of fear.

But it need not endure. This fear need not be the way things always are. And in fact, it will not last much longer. After the Age of Fear comes the best antidote to fear. Soon-- by that we mean within the lifetimes of many in this chamber-- the Age of Fear will disolve into the Age of Hope. And every thought, every action, and every word and behavior of the human race will be colored and toned by hope. And that will be a time when thousands of people every day-- every day-- will achieve enlightenment.

Until that day comes, the Age of Fear is intensifying. It is not going without a struggle. Every day, these days, it is getting worse. We are, among others, engaged in attempting to lift that Age of Fear off of you, lift the burden of it off of you, and at the very least ameliorate some of its most painful effects upon you, so that even though it is intensifying, you may be relieved of some of that burden, and see the hope that is coming. For the human race must proceed through fear to hope, but the days of fear are growing more and more severe, until they end. And we want to help this world get through that ending in one piece.

That is not, at this time, guaranteed, that you will. It is not at this time certain that you will make it to the Age of Hope, unscathed. We want that it should be so, and so many, so many want that it should be so, that we, and others, have come to help you in many ways. Our contribution to this, among other things we do, is the Ceremony to Remove Fear....

Eon’s Ceremony to Remove Fear
Amherst, MA, July 28, 2001

[Eon laughs uproariously] Oh, beloved ones, how glorious and wonderful it is indeed to see you upon this beautiful day! We are so thrilled and so delighted to be once more among your good company. We are so happy to see all of you. And we want to say that we will be somewhat subdued today because we do not want to harm emotionally the beast [Celeste brought her cat to the Ceremony], whose presence has blessed all of us here this morning. But if we are to be our typical self, she may very well leap right out of her skin, so we will be somewhat less than that, but still enough to recognize, we hope!

Oh, dear ones, how wonderful again we say it is to be with you, because every human being is beautiful. Every human being is so beautiful. You cannot even know how beautiful you are. This is something that grieves us very much, because your beauty is absolutely greater than the beauty of Mount Everest, greater than the beauty of the deep ocean, greater than the beauty of the night sky, greater than the beauty of your planet seen from the moon, greater than the beauty of the butterflies lighting upon the gorgeous flowers. Your beauty is greater than all these beauties, because these beauties are merely physical manifestations, but you are more than merely a physical manifestation.

Dear ones, we’ve spoken so many times before of what you truly are, so we will only encapsulate and tell you plainly what you are today.

You are this thing [referring to the physical body], but this is only your shell. You inhabit this shell. You borrow this shell from the physical cosmos. All the elements of your form are made up of molecules and atoms, and the atoms are made up of subatomic particles of various natures, many of which are not yet known, no matter how much pride some may take in thinking they know them. And at the fundamental level, there is no such thing even as a particle.

If they would only listen to us, we would solve their problem for them. But they do not. They want to find it for themselves. So they will. They will know it, but not for many centuries will they know yet what truly is the most basic essence of physicality. But we’ll tell you plainly and simply that it’s energy in a way that the human race has not yet comprehended energy.

But that is only the physical. All of this physical is borrowed. You don’t own your body. Your body didn’t belong to you before you came into it. Your body actually is of the earth; it is elemental.

These atoms, these subatomic particles, these energies came from somewhere. They came not from out of nothing. They all came from the earth, from the sky, from the supernovae in which all heavy elements beyond hydrogen and helium originate. So that which is not only hydrogen and helium inside you, which is most of you, came from within a star. So yes, you are borrowing a physical shroud.

So what is it that shrouds with this physical shroud? It is who you truly are. It is that thing that is you, and to know that thing, to know that inhabitant of this form is the life’s great purpose and work. And to take one step after another toward that knowledge is life’s great journey.

So many beings in this world, so many people, are not consciously on that journey. Some are not on it at all, some are on it but not consciously, some are on it consciously, and a few rare ones have found the end of their path. Is there any hierarchy among these different kinds of people? Are some better than others, more learned, more wise? No, no.

Every soul exists outside the space of time and place. And therefore, those you may say are not yet awakened are also fully enlightened, because in the place where there is no time or space all things are, together, one. Here in this play world things are separated like the strands of silk separated out of a beautiful cloth until you see each part. You cannot see the cloth when all you see is a pile of threads. It is only when the threads are woven together that the cloth appears.

Likewise, your individual paths, your individual natures are threads. When they’re woven together in this world you see the fabric of this supposed reality come together. You can view it. But when it’s separated out, all threads are alike.

That is the real truth. All are alike, all are one, but all are united in an unreal place, temporarily, for high purposes, and that union which you enjoy here in this place causes you to believe that time passes, that people are different from one another, that you are separate from your creative maker, your Divine Source; causes you to believe many things.

All of these beliefs are not wrong, and they are not sinful, and they are not mistaken. They are an inherent part of being in this place. Let us say this clearly to you: all those things that are illusory about life-- feeling separate from God, feeling separate from others, not knowing one’s own nature, believing that this physical world is the reality, and that it matters-- all these things are not mistakes. They are not wrong and they are not sins. They are merely an inherent part of being in this kind of state. They are a part of the package, and so one must not harm oneself physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually or socially for having any of these experiences.

One must not beat up upon oneself in an inner sense for feeling connected to this unreal world in a real way, for having a sense of separation from one’s Creator. These are not faults or failings. To think that they are, is one more illusion.

Dear ones, we implore you, believe and understand that you are here for a good reason, and that being here is frustrating. We know that. Very frustrating, because you want to be all you are. You want to know who you are. You want to feel the closeness that you truly do have in this very instant with your Maker, and with each other and with all created beings. You want that, and you can’t have it while you’re in this form.

Making peace with that is what the life of the Buddha was all about. So we strongly upon this day recommend to those who have not yet thought much about the life and teachings of the one called Buddha, to think a little about that and learn a little about it, because that is the theme of this day: making peace with the fact that you live in an unreal and frustrating place; making peace with all those things he suggested one make peace with; and thus arrive at a state of real happiness in this life, an ability to be here without regret, to be here without frustration, to be here without any resentment for the fact that one is here. For beloved ones, you’ve not been placed here; you came here. You’ve not been placed here; you came here.

And we are so pleased you did. We are so happy to see all of you.

We are gathered here this morning upon a beautiful land in a beautiful day, a beautiful time. Illusory though it all may be, is not its beauty glorious and sign of your beauty? All the beauty you see around you is nothing but a fraction of your glory.

We are here with you today to do something very important, very important, indeed. For as many of you know, for having been to these ceremonies before, your human world is in a great state of trouble at this time. The human race, through no fault or doing of its own in any way, passes from time to time, century to century through different kinds of periods. We call these "ages."

For the last approximately little more than five hundred years now, the human race has been living in the age we call fear. The Age of Fear began-- not cause and effect but merely coincidence, but to give you a sense of when-- it began after Mr. Columbo left his European port and came to this land. It began after that, but by the time he returned on his final voyage it had begun. He left Europe for parts he thought Indian. He left and this was not the Age of Fear. He returned after his final journey of several, and the human world was in the Age of Fear.

Think how long ago that was, dear ones. Everything you’ve ever thought, said and done since that day that the Age of Fear began, has been tainted by fear. And the effects of fear are this: everything you do that is good, everything you think that is good and everything you say that is good is made a little bit less powerful by the effects of fear. Everything you do, think or say that is not helpful in this world is made a little bit more powerful by the effects of the Age of Fear.

This is the impact that ages always have. Ages with a positive influence influence your positive thoughts, words and deeds in a positive way, and minimize negatives. Ages which have a negative influence minimize the positive and emphasize the negative. Thus, you are living in difficult times, dear ones.

And times are not static. The intensity of the fear is increasing as the Age of Fear draws near its end. Within the lifetime of nearly everyone in this circle the Age of Fear will come to its final day. And the Age of Hope will dawn.

The Age of Hope is a wonderful, wonderful time, for within the Age of Hope lies the possibilities that you long for now for your people. Within the Age of Fear it is possible to do much good, but all the successful good that is done is along the lines of minimizing harm in this world. Creating the good, that good which will sprout from the seeds you plant in the Age of Fear, it will sprout in the Age of Hope.

So in the Age of Fear, this is a time for good people to plant the seeds of the world they want to see, and know that it will be watered with the love and the sweat of their endeavors. And that in the Age of Hope they will germinate, they will sprout, they will grow, and the Age of Hope will be a building time, a time when your human race will start to look much more like what it looks like to us.

So in this Age of Fear, as it draws near a close, things are intensifying. The Age of Fear is not going quietly. It is getting heavier and heavier, like a blanket of fog that becomes thicker and thicker and thicker. And so there are many beings who are attempting to help get you through this Age of Fear, in these final days of it, so that you arrive at the Age of Hope with all your faculties intact, with most all of your capabilities and energies undaunted and untarnished by depression or distress or hopelessness.

These are the fruits of the Age of Fear: depression, distress and hopelessness. Fruits of the Age of Hope are peace, happiness and love.

So right now you are eating a diet of depression, hopelessness and distress. No wonder life is very difficult. No wonder relationships between peoples are strained and torturous. No wonder, no wonder. It is obviously the result of the times in which you live.

We know you do your best with what you have, and you are blessed with a great deal of assistance. Some of the assistance is permanent assistance assigned to each of you, and some of it comes in the form of occasional assistance to each of you individually. Some of the assistance comes to your race of people as a whole, and that is the kind of thing we are doing here today.

This Ceremony to Remove Fear is our contribution to assisting your human race as a whole. It is not for you who are here today that the Ceremony is performed. It is for you and all of your fellow humanity that it is performed. By coming here you receive tremendous benefit, but the benefit is not by your proximity to this Ceremony. The benefit is because you came representing your people, and thus you carry with you the energy of this Ceremony, and you spread it around among your people.

What we’re going to do here today, for a reminder or refresher we should say for those who’ve been here before, or introduction to those who have not been here before-- we’re going to perform several acts, all of which are designed to help lift the burden of fear off your world a little bit.

As it intensifies, there are many like us who are trying to lift it up so that you can at least have some breathing room underneath it. Some are in form, some are not in form. There are hundreds of beings around this planet, thousands even, that are engaged in different things.

This is our kind of thing. It is what we have been asked to do. We are so humbled and privileged to be able to offer it and to do it to play our part to help you, because we love your world, we love your people. We want to help. Whatever we can do, we will do.

So what we will do here is rather simple and very brief. We will say a prayer or an invocation, which calls certain divine energies into our command. This energy is for our use to help lift this veil of fear, for we cannot do it, but with divine assistance it can be done.

After that, upon these burning coals we will burn some items. Each of them is symbolic and metaphoric, representing something.

We will burn camphor, which represents attachment to fear. Dear ones, who would want to be attached to fear? Well, no one wants to be attached to anything really, especially something negative and unhelpful like fear. However, when all you’ve known for more than five hundred years is fear, you develop an attachment without realizing it. You’ve become comfortably uncomfortable, and it is all you’ve known.

So to be freed of fear is a terrifying thought. It’s like an umbilicus being cut. What flows through that umbilical cord is foul, but still it seems like a lifeline. So we are going to burn camphor to represent attachment to fear. As we burn it, visualize a foul cord cutting and dissolving and burning away.

Then we’re going to burn some rice. It represents attachment to freedom of fear. Everybody wants to be free of fear. Everyone is ambivalent about fear; they want to be free of it, but they’re also afraid of being free of it. However, in this case, want is a form of desire.

Desires hold something away as much as they draw it near. They put a space between you and something. They don’t let you move freely. They control the distance. So we want to burn attachment to freedom from fear, so that you can be free to be free of fear. So visualize, when we burn the rice, attachment to freedom of fear is like spider web threads, visualize them just burning away, being blown by winds, hurricanes, burning away, smoke and flame. Yes, burning away, blowing away.

Then we’re going to burn frankincense, which represents attachment to prosperity. Prosperity is being held at arm’s length by attachment more strongly than anything else in these times except peace of mind and peace of heart.

Prosperity does not mean money, although financial prosperity is certainly a possibility for everyone. Prosperity means the abundance of life in all its abundance. The wealth of living is not available to you if you are attached to it, craving it, drawing it near you and driving it away simultaneously through desire. In the Age of Hope, everyone will relax and prosperity will become more abundant for everyone; physically they will feel more prosperous, more enjoyment of life, more richness in their lives. But in this Age of Fear, everybody is struggling, trying to get to that feeling.

Let us destroy our bonds of attachment and desire for prosperity, and thus free it, and free ourselves, to move in relationship to one another. So as we burn these things visualize them, bonds of prosperity are sort of like tracks of tar going out from your feet toward outward, just visualize the tar burning away.

So we’ll burn these things upon the coals. Visualize them burning off. Be freed of them. Then we will have each person say their names, and we will command fear to leave from each one who is here and from all those who are not here.

Beloved ones, today is the final time we will ever perform this ceremony in a way where we have each person say their name, one after the other. In the future we will have all parties say their names simultaneously out loud, and we will cast fear out from the group. Today is the last time we will have each person say their name. We want to also invite you to say the names of any ones you wish to call present physically into this space who are not here today, so that their name may also be mentioned here in this ceremony.

After that, we will conclude with the closing invocation, causing the divine energies to retreat once more, and then we will continue our conversation here by talking to you a little bit about the answer to all your questions, which is always the thing everyone wants to know. "What is the answer to all my questions?" We’ll tell you that answer today. Yes.

[Ceremony takes place unrecorded]

Beloved ones, we’ve been conducting this Ceremony to Remove Fear for many years on a monthly basis. As the Age of Fear intensifies, we will begin doing it more frequently. We’ve done it twice this month. We’ll be doing it twice next month. And for many months to come, we will usually be doing it twice. But eventually we will do it daily. That is the intensity of the Age of Fear, and it is the intensity of the need to liberate the human race from fear, and its terrible influences.

All those who are engaged, like us, in the work of liberating the human people from fear also are intensifying their efforts. Those who are in the human form and those who are not in the human form, all of us, are working harder every day to try to help.

You owe us nothing, for we are the same as you. We see this clearly. It is tempting, from the human position, to believe that something like Eon is superior, that something like Eon is all-powerful or all-knowing. This is not the case.

We are all consciousness and we have all been made by God. We have different stations in life. We have different duties. We have different positions from which we live. But we are all engaged in the act of existence, and therefore, we are all sisters and brothers together, and there is no difference between us, not any difference at all. That is why we are always so happy to see you.

Dear ones, to be a human being, as we said before, is to be placed into a world of frustration, because your soul knows itself, but the part of which you are conscious, your body, your mind, your emotions: they do not know themselves; they do not know their soul. So the part of you that knows itself is longing to express itself. The part of you that does not know itself does not know how to express itself.

This is like living in a cage. The floor of the cage is physical reality. The walls of the cage are time, and the ceiling of the cage is ignorance. You’re standing on this physical reality blocked in by time: a past and a future. And the ignorance caps it all, because you don’t know really who you are.

There are so many questions in this life. Everybody has more questions than they know. If we sat with you forever, your questions would not cease. This is because questions, delightful little rascals that they are, stem from the mind.

The mind never stops working. To put the mind to rest is a terrifying task, tremendous difficulty. Those who know, who’ve practiced this, know how hard it is to put the mind to rest, even for a moment. But a peaceful and a restful mind is the only mind without questions.

Nevertheless, it is an easy thing for us to answer your questions, because, dear ones, questions have nothing to do with answers. Questions are like itches. No matter how much they may be scratched, they may continue to itch. But answers are like a cool bath on a hot day. There is not necessarily a connection between them.

Questions are like weeds and answers are like flowers. There are always weeds and there are always flowers, but they are different, and they don’t necessarily have anything to do with one another. If you have so many questions you may not be able to see the flowery answers, but if you can control questioning more flowers may be able to sprout up.

The important thing to realize in this life is that questions are beautiful, beautiful. But like everything, some are more beautiful than others, because they are more closely linked to your true nature than others. Questions such as, "Who am I?" are extraordinarily beautiful questions.

In fact, to ask that one question only is to live a life in a state of tremendous blessedness and grace. To ask every day, many times, "Who am I?" without any expectation or need of answer, without any hope of an answer even, but only to have the question, is to really know tremendous peace and self-awareness. One who asks, "Who am I?" is one who is well on his or her way toward knowing who they are.

After, "Who am I?" the next most important kinds of questions would be, "Why am I here?" "What am I to do?" "How may I help and serve?" Notice that these questions are about "me," whereas, "Who am I?" is more of a neutral inquiry into existence, "What is my nature?" But then it’s, "What can I do?" but it’s in a good way, "How can I help?" "How can I serve?" "What can I do to repay this world and this place and these people for all I’ve been given?"

After that kind of questioning come questions that are much less interesting, such as, "What should I do today?" "Should I buy a new car?" "Should I go on a date with this person or that person, or both?" "Are cats better than dogs, or vice the versa?"

All these many questions are so interesting, because they are like an itch. You know an itch simultaneously is annoying, but also sometimes pleasant. It can be physical stimulation that people crave and need. They can enjoy a little itchy feeling. These questions are like that. They’re irritating in an earthly way, and yet they bring sort of a delight or a pleasure in this world.

So it’s fine to have them. But play with them. Be playful about such questions as, "Should I move to Boston or to Wichita?" Just be playful about it? It’s not life and death, dear ones. Life and death is, "Who am I?" That’s a question to take very seriously, and to take with all your heart and mind. Move to Boston or Wichita is easy. We say Wichita. But be playful about it.

These things don’t matter! They don’t! "Will my daughter go to the right college?" "Should I start dancing again?" "I don’t like being a computer programmer; I’d like to open a donut shop." All of these things are pleasant things to ponder, and very playful ones to play with, but they truly aren’t important. They don’t really matter.

What matters is your peace. What matters is your self-awareness. What matters is your happiness, as far as happiness is deep and peaceful and comes from a sense of knowing yourself.

The answers to those questions will never satisfy. We hesitate to tell you this, because hope springs eternal. But we may tell you, move to Wichita, and when you go to Wichita you’ll have more questions. "Live on A Street or B Street?" "Date this person, or that person, or both?"

All these questions will never cease. Never. Do you think, dear ones, that when you see a beautiful wave at the ocean that the ocean is done with it’s work and there will be no more waves? It’s perfected the concept and it’s finished? No, and neither will the mind cease questioning, no matter how wonderful an answer you give it to something. So, dear ones, we say to you this: Questions are nothing to be ashamed of, but they are also nothing to take seriously.

So, we promised the answer to all your questions, and many of you know it. There is an answer to all questions and it is because, as we said, questions and answers have no relationship, really. They really don’t. You can never satisfy the mind with answers and cause it to cease questioning. But you can still the mind and cause it to cease questioning.

And the answer that stills the mind is the one answer to all questions. It’s the one source of all your answers. To give you that is the greatest gift we can give you. And it is really the reason we’ve come back one more time to the human race.

We weren’t going to do it, dear ones. We were going to be finished last time we spoke to the human race, several hundred years ago. For all our lives, we lived several thousand years ago last we lived. Since then we have spoken to people off and on. Sometimes we’ve done it in this way, speaking through a physical form. Often we’ve done it by speaking into the heart and mind of an individual in a silent way, directly into them, communicating like that.

Last we did it we felt we were finished, but we saw that there was a great call in these times for relief from fear, and we visualized-- it was the Age of Fear when last we spoke to people-- but we visualized that the Age of Fear was intensifying, and that we must come again and help a little bit.

We are not a great one for doing this. We do not say this to inflate ourselves; merely to explain how things work. For many of you also saw the same thing. You also saw that the Age of Fear was intensifying, and you decided to come back and help. That’s what happens.

It is the power of love that causes you to come here at this time when things are so hard, and to give what you can give, and so we also participate in that way. We came this time for really one purpose, and that is to give you our answer. We gave it for the first time about this time of year six years ago, and since that day it has had tremendous help to many people.

So we give it to you again, with our increased enthusiasm and our increased urge that you adopt this answer as a way of living. We encourage it, very strongly; very, very strongly.

Dear ones, every human heart longs to pray, every human heart wants to pray, but doesn’t know really how to pray. It’s hard to know how to pray unless your heart’s broken, then you can pray pretty easily. But when your heart isn’t broken, it’s good to use prayers that have been time-tested and developed because of their heart-felt nature, their inherent holiness, their inherent effectiveness at expressing the human heart. Most of these prayers were written by broken-hearted people, but they can be used by others whose hearts are not currently broken and who are longing for that intimacy.

These are called mantras. Mantra’s a word from one language. We only use it because it means a lot to a lot of people. But what it means is right. It means a word or a sentence, or a phrase or a sound, or a syllable, or at least a moment of peace that contains both the meaning and the physical elemental reality of the prayer: combined sound and meaning in perfection, so that the heart and mind are joined by the use of these prayers, and cause one to communicate with God very effectively-- and thus causes you to realize who you are and what is your relationship to your Divine Creator.

There is an effect from the use of these prayers, and that is why they ought to be used: not only because they are the truth, for true mantras are true, but because of the effect they have and the benefit they bring. They are of such precious value to you. So we’ll say to you this: a true mantra, true prayer, is more valuable than life itself. So consider them to be that precious, and hold them that closely to you.

There are several languages in the world which have been designed for spiritual communication, for prayer: ancient Arabic, ancient Hebrew and ancient Sanskrit are three that have been invented primarily for spiritual discourse. However, all languages have the capability of having mantras, or having this union of sound and meaning. They only haven’t been discovered yet in many other tongues. Those three: Sanskrit, Hebrew, Arabic, they are so perfect that almost anything said within them unites heart and mind. But in other tongues, it’s harder to find the right combination.

In the English language, people have struggled to find it, and have tried and have come quite near many times. But we feel strongly and we say that the mantra we give is the first of the English tongue that truly unites the heart and mind, sound and meaning in the effectiveness so that, by the use of this mantra, you may free yourselves of human chains and you may become one who knows who one is.

That is the gift that we humbly place before you in this time. That is the only reason we’ve really come to earth this time.

That mantra, as we said it before, is this: "My Heart is God’s Home." "My Heart is God’s Home." "My Heart is God’s Home."

This is still, to this day, the only English language mantra that will bring your liberation. There will be others in the future, but not yet. This is still the first. And so, in the English language, we encourage it’s use.

The way we encourage it to be used is any time, any place, whenever. However, most effective use of it is to use it while sitting, speaking aloud in a twilight kind of time, either morning or evening, and to say it in a particular way. To repeat the mantra: "My Heart is God’s Home," and then to permit an equal period of silence, for you must allow the reverberation to return to you, the echo to come back, so that you not only speak, but you hear the truth. You thus unite with all. You say, you hear; it is the same.

So you say, "My Heart is God’s Home," and then you pause, and you receive that truth back. And then you say it again. And we also strongly urge the saying of this in multiples of one hundred times, or one hundred eight as many prefer. It must be done a certain number of times to be most effective for you. However, to even say it once, any time in any manner, is very helpful, because it is true, and it’s always useful to say the truth about yourself.

We have said, many times, and we say again today, those who repeat this mantra one million times will be freed in this life of human bondage. They will be freed of the chains of bondage. They will experience in their lifetime liberation from illusion.

So say it a million times. It’s not hard to do. Many people have already accomplished that, and thus in their life they will be freed of human chains. We urge, urge, urge you to take it up, merely because it is your nature, and because it is your truth.

We love you all. We’re going to have David lead a set of these mantras, so that you may all get a good foundation and a good start, or those who are already on the path may edge a few more steps along it.

And then after that we want to speak in greeting to each one of you, and David will lead you in two beautiful tunes which he has created; well he created one and we created the other, but those tunes are quite lovely, we really like them. His is very, very beautiful and inspired. It seems to be a musical year. It seems to be a musical year. But, uh, yes. So we will have the leading of the mantra and then we will speak to you briefly again and then chat momentarily with each one of you, while there is singing, beautiful singing.
