Not necessarily in the order or of the intensity that my awakenings took place, I present them here as adequately as words can provide:

A new type of connection happens with a gathering of like-minded souls

It began, for me, the moment I walked into the lobby with much Love radiating from those present.

It deepened intensely during the evening's group meditation when I sensed a wheel - I thought of ferris wheel at the time - lying on its side with white Light radiating from the center, as we focused on Divine Love being extended from us to the person next to us. I began envisioning spokes radiating from the Center with a red glow that touched each person as it whirled faster and faster, giving of Divine Love to each and brushing some from one to another. The energy expanded in intensity. Indeed, a Divine experience.

The highlite of the meditation was that I sensed my two spirit guides sitting on both sides of me. They had identified themselves about 10 years ago as White Feather and Spring Cascade. I had a vague vision of their appearance and have known of their presence since that time but wasn't sure previously whether or not they were my natures or guides. Their presence was so strong *outside myself* that now I know!

During my drive home on Sunday, I felt a sense of the presence of these guides throughout my life, every moment, whether or not I have been consciously aware. My playground of life is being aware of their effects.

I had previously been skeptical - I have acknowledged fear of the unknown - about just "who" the Brotherhood might be. I wasn't accepting any communication because of this.

Jean and others sometimes used "Holy Spirit" as a "named" viewpoint to the mission of the Brotherhood. Jesus said he must leave the earth plane so the Holy Spirit could "take residence" here. How do we identify "who" the Holy Spirit is? We do it through our own precognition. That was the instant awakening I received: "It's okay."

The strongest awareness of what I received was to hear so many versions and backgrounds communicating the Sameness and Oneness - a coming together with a common bond.

As Deborah expressed in one of our informal discussions, the Brotherhood had a purpose for bringing us together for the weekend. "They had work to do." The overall communication was through us coming together under one umbrella, still with individual missions, terminology, experiences and interpretations - yet, all as Oneness.

During one of the afternoon sessions, we were to ponder further burdens to release. I am not one to experience fear or anger so I was contemplating that I had nothing to release. I felt a very strong sense of a heaviness when the term, "frustration," came to mind. There wasn't any individual identification, just "through the years." As I acknowledged this as my extra baggage, I released it. And I sensed the assurance it was gone. It is as simple as visualizing throwing it away and with acceptance that I have done so. It is no more!

Several called me by name ALL weekend, even just to say, "hi!" or "good nite!" I didn't remember THEIR names! So, thank you to you kind souls who have chosen to remember names - it offers a lift for the person being greeted!

Another awareness came after arriving home, looking at my quantity of incoming email, that some sorting and organizing are mandatory in order to find time to sense the Presence of my guides, to listen and follow their guidance, which eliminates all that frustration! Thank you to the Oneness in us All!

We now have some Pictures from the Conference. Or you can now go back to the Conference Room, or maybe you'd care to visit my FRONT DOOR to see more of my site.
