CLIVE WALTERS NEW BOOK

There will be further reason to celebrate on this evening of the 12.12.12 gathering! My friend, the artist Clive Walters, has had a long term plan to launch his new book ‘Rebirth’ on that significant day. His first exquisite book of artwork and accompanying messages of wisdom called ‘Relic’, was birthed on the 10.10.10.

Clive is a cosmic mandala artist and writer of profound talent. His work allows us to open ancient, forgotten chapters of our minds. His exquisite mandalas are mysterious, symbolic, visually inspiring and thought provoking. Clive's work is dedicated to "the One Love that allows us to connect with the sacred place that lies within our own hearts. Our hearts understand what we need to know now, here on Mother Earth."

Clive Walters opening his new Gallery near Yunguburra – Oct 2012.

Clive has met The Master Skull ‘SOLAR’ and feels deeply connected to him. I thought how fitting and special it would be if Clive’s new book were to receive its official birthing in Solar’s presence…Clive agreed! Those who attend the 12.12.12 event will therefore have the added pleasure of meeting and speaking with Clive, who will adorn our sacred space with some of his magnificent artworks. These are Activation pieces full of sacred geometric forms, and layered with meaning. Many people have found themselves activated simply by looking at them.

CRYSTAL SKULLS ON THE WAY

Since the Ravenshoe Crystal Skull Activation Ceremony, I have had several requests from people wishing to have their own Crystal Skull. I am delighted to report that I have specially commissioned the carving of a selection of AA grade skulls of varying sizes and material. I hope these will arrive with me in the next few weeks.

All of these hand-carved beauties will be cleansed by sitting on the Earth beside the tropical rainforest, before spending time with SOLAR on his altar, to be charged and energised by this Master Being. By that time, SOLAR will himself have received the full infusion of the Total SOLAR ECLIPSE energy. It’s clear to me that SOLAR made very sure he would be in the optimum place -  Cairns, Australia -  in time for this special event which carries his name! 

NEW SOUNDS OF SIRIUS ALBUM - 21:12:12

Along with the Guidance to do an event with SOLAR on the 12.12.12, I received another very powerful message in the last 10 days. I was ‘told’ to get back into the recording studio on December 21^st  - the 21.12.12  - to bring through a new Sounds of Sirius album.

The wheels are now already in motion to make that a reality. The recording studio is booked and the main musicians confirmed, so all is falling into place.  

The main recording will take place on December 21, 22 and 23  - the period spanning the Galactic alignment across all time zones.   I feel the music received by me on those days, will carry the energy of the New Age, the New Earth, The Dawning of the much hoped for Golden Age. This Planetary Alignment certainly brings completion – it sees the end of many major cosmic cycles. It also by the same token, heralds a new beginning. It is for this reason that the working title of this new album is 'Songs of the New Earth'

I humbly ask for your energetic support of this project. Please connect with myself and SOLAR and my wonderful fellow musicians during that time….Send us your loving thoughts and energy, to help us become the most clear and perfect conduits we can possibly be, to receive the Divine Frequencies made available at that time.

I will write to you again soon about a very special proposition I have in mind in relation to this new creation. Watch this space as they say!!

NEW TIBETEAN JEWELLERY

Over the last 18 months, a number of unique Tibetan artifacts have come into my life, including a pair of 5000 year-old jade bones and a huge Crystal Dorje. On my recent trip to the US, at the beginning and end of my trip from two separate sources, I came across some magnificent Tibetan/Nepalese pendants, beads and other pieces, which I found impossible to resist! I am intrigued by the call of the region in my life and wonder where it is leading me!

I had these beautiful pieces adapted by my friend Lindy Sullivan, an exceptionally talented jeweller who lives here in Cairns, who also designed all the other stunning pieces in the Sounds of Sirius Crystal Jewellery Collection. We have designed all the necklaces as stand-alone pieces, which also look stunning on their own if you slip the pendant off.

This beautiful and unique range of richly coloured Tibetan jewellery makes a fabulous addition to the Sounds of Sirius Jewellery Collection. Many of these pieces carry the archetypal symbolism of Tibetan Buddhism, which has eight main symbols and motifs. In Tibet and Nepal, these symbols can be seen carved and painted in many places. They have their origins in Buddhist teachings that spread to Tibet from India via Buddha's disciples and monks. These symbols represent the main pillars of Buddhist philosophy. The monks of Tibet liked to surround themselves with carving and paintings of the Buddhist beliefs and representations of teachings of the Buddha.

So, as well as being exquisitely beautiful to look at, these jewellery pieces carry an energy that represents harmony, truth, spiritual growth, peace and abundance.

A NEW CRYSTAL SKULL BOOK!

‘Collective Cosmic Consciousness of the Crystal Skulls’

By Liz Hamilton

A new crystal skull book as just been released by Liz Hamilton, a most dedicated fellow skull caretaker, and friend. Liz works as a healer and teacher at her Alasenmat crystal sound healing centre in the Blue Mountains here in Australia. I haven’t finished reading the book yet but what I have read, I absolutely love! This is a book is written from the heart, with honesty and humility. I think it will give you a great insight into the amazing crystal forms, which are the Crystal Skulls. Here is part of the description from the back cover of the book….

‘Liz came to recognise the profound significance of crystals that are carved into the sacred form of the human skull. These crystal skulls can assist us in shifting our consciousness and accelerating our spiritual perception.

Crystal skulls are only accessed through love, and help us develop a new capacity for ‘heart seeing’. These powerful skulls can initiate us into the mysteries of existence and foster a reconnection to our higher selves so that we can remember who we are, as citizens of the universe. In this book Liz describes her metaphysical journey of many amazing experiences with crystal skulls, while meeting a collective cosmic consciousness. She tells of how a wonderful new healing modality arose in her life, which she named ‘Cosmic Radiance’.

I hope to have copies of the book available for those who attend the 12.12.12 gathering.  For others, you can purchase ‘Collective Cosmic Consciousness of the Crystal Skulls’ direct from Liz by emailing:-

Sun, Moon & Stars Align

Dear Friends, It’s already a week since the Ring of Fire Eclipse – where does time go to! My heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined me in Cairns last Sunday. What a fabulous group of people you were! It’s been wonderful to hear from many of you by email, about how much the day meant to you. Gathering together on these days of major planetary alignment is so important. This is the way that we can collectively upshift our vibration and frequency in order to rise out of the density of the old outdated programming that has been keeping us stuck in pain and struggle. By joining with other like-minded souls – especially on days of powerful planetary activity - we pool our energies in a most potent way. This will eventually help us to achieve full resonance and attunement to the harmonics of the New Earth. My sincere admiration and gratitude to you all, for making the commitment to yourself and to the planet to be present. Within my presentation on the day, I shared some information from James Tyberon’s Metatron channellings. As promised, here is the link to the website where you can read the information in full. www.earthkeeper.com I'm sure you'll enjoy checking out this website. There’s a wealth of wisdom from Lord Metatron on many topics, with a book of the Metatron channellings available for purchase on this website too. Another website, recommended by one of the participants on the day, is www.spiritlibrary.com This site gives an overview of all the major channellings coming through worldwide, so it’s well worth checking out. 2012 Major Planetary Alignments I also promised to let you have the dates of the remaining major Alignments of 2012. 2012 is a huge year! It’s a year when many of the earth’s major cycles end at the same time, which is why it has been described as ‘The Shift of the Ages’. drrobertcassar.com In addition to it being the end of the 5,125-year cycle of the Mayan Calendar, it is the culmination of the 26,000-year cycle known as the Precession of the Equinox. It’s also sees the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius which occurs once in every 2,166 years; the 438,000-year cycle of Kali Yuga; the 1.8 million-year cycle of Satya Yuga; the 4.4 million-year cycle of Mahayuga, and the 4.4 billion-year cycle of Kalpa, or the Day of Brahma. No wonder 2012 is being heralded as an awakening clarion call for Humanity!! Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj - www.maya.eso.tv According to some of the world’s Indigenous Elders, there are a number of very significant planetary alignments taking place during 2012, that would be very beneficial for us to observe. The new Crystalline and Geometric codes entering the planet on these dates, give us an opportunity to upgrade our frequency exponentially. March 20th – Equinox May 20th - Solar Eclipse June 4th – Lunar Eclipse June 6th - Venus Transit – one of the rarest of astronomical phenomena. This will not happen again until 2117 June 21st – Summer Solstice - An extremely powerful day September 22nd – Equinox November 13th - Total Solar Eclipse - An event of critical importance. The best place in the world to see this Eclipse will be right here in Cairns where I live! November 19th - Pleiades Alignment December 12th - (12.12.12) 8 BATZ Maya Calendar re-booting December 21st – Solstice and what some people believe is the end date of the Mayan Calendar For the first two of these alignments – the March Equinox and the Ring of Fire Eclipse - I facilitated ceremonial group events. For the next three alignments ie the June 4th Lunar Eclipse, the Venus Transit and the Summer Solstice, I’ve received very strong and clear guidance about were I am meant to be on the planet. I will not therefore, be hosting group events on these dates. I do urge you however, to gather together in your own groups, or alone if that’s not possible, to join in Spirit with myself and millions of other Lightworkers across the globe. These are wonderful opportunities for us to join as one family, to help transform the energy of our planet. Lunar Eclipse and Venus Transit photoz.com.au For the Lunar Eclipse and the extraordinary Venus Transit I will travel alone to Uluru. I have been called to go there to sing to the Rock. Uluru means ‘Earth Mother’. This Australian icon is considered to be one of the great natural wonders of the world. Located on a major planetary grid point much like the Great Pyramid in Egypt, Uluru is considered by the Aborigines to hold a record of the Dreamtime activities of the Ancestors. All the land actually holds this record - Uluru is just one of the most spectacular. The strange grooves on its sides are believed to be the tracks left by the Ancestors and various features of the mountain are sacred to specific spirits. The call to go to Uluru at this time has been very compelling. I have no real idea what to expect from this journey and I have no specific plans for what I'll do when I get there, but the thought of being at this very sacred site for the Lunar Eclipse and Venus Transit, feels like a special and most wondrous thing. A transit of Venus is one of the rarest of all astronomical events. It occurs when the orbit of the planet Venus take it between the Earth and the Sun. atmob.org Most of Australia is well positioned to witness the Venus Transit on Wednesday 6th June 2012 but ‘conicidentally’(!!) the only region in the world with very low levels of cloud cover and a view of the entire event, will be north-central and north-east Australia. So, I hope to be able to see the Transit from Uluru. For those who can’t see it, there will be a webcast of the event on http://www.transitofvenus.com.au/HOME.html Coverage will start from 8am, Eastern Australian Time (GMT +10 hours) and will conclude some seven hours later after Venus has completed its transit. The event will be covered by a number of high quality specialist telescopes in Australia. Summer Solstice in Mt Shasta For the Summer Solstice, I will return to Mount Shasta in Northern California, where I held my own Solstice ceremony last year! This year, I'll join 200 other Lightworkers from around the globe, to take part in a James Tyberon event there. mountshastamagazine.com It is amazing how our intuition works! It was only after I'd made the firm decision to go to Mt Shasta for the Solstice that on doing a google search, I discovered James Tyberon was putting on an event there. This provided a wonderful confirmation of my decision and I also realized immediately that I was meant to join this particular group to receive the mega energies of this 2012 Solstice. Here is how Tyberon describes the event…. The Om Crystal of Mount Shasta -The 2012 Completion OM-Wave Gathering & Celebration of the Ascended Masters The 2012 Summer Solstice will be a mega-event in the Transformation of the Planet Earth. In North America, the solstice transformation will be centered in Mt Shasta, as Sainte Germaine and the Ascended Masters/Council of Crystalline Light will gather on Mt Shasta in enclave from June 19th thru June 25, 2012, to emit a multi-dimensional wave of Unconditional Love via the Crystal of OM. I invite you to connect with me from wherever you may be, for all of these very important planetary events. We are living in the time of the Prophecies. The powerful energies available to humanity on these dates have been spoken about for generations. The more of us who receive the new Light Codes ‘consciously’, the greater the acceleration of transformation that can occur, for humanity en mass. Permission to use the Sounds of Sirius You have my heartfelt permission to use the Sounds of Sirius CDs for your group gatherings to celebrate these planetary events. One of the main purposes of the Sounds of Sirius for which I’m the conduit, is to raise the frequency and vibration of the listener. The melodies and Light Language that accompany the music have demonstrated time and again, that they have the ability to awaken the soul to remembrance. NOW is the time for us to remember WHO WE REALLY ARE!! The Sounds of Sirius healing music has been gifted to us from very high Spiritual realms and can assist us greatly with this remembrance. Every note of this music is embued with the energy of the Divine Feminine and the Angelic Realms. If you're not attending a formal event on these important dates, try to gather your family or a few friends around you. Then, with the intention of opening yourselves up to receive the new Crystalline Light Codes, just sit down or lie down and listen to one of the ‘Sounds of Sirius’ albums together. This hour of inner meditation and opening of your hearts as one, while being bathed in these pure sound vibrations, can bring you untold blessings. Please feel free also, to share the Sounds of Sirius audio-visual Activations with your group. Featuring the heart-and-soul opening artwork of a select group of visionary artists and film-makers, these powerful Activations are a truly potent tool for transformation and Awakening. (Please just be aware that all the Sounds of Sirius music is under copyright. I give you heartfelt permission to share it by playing the albums within your meditation groups or workshops for these particular events. Any copying or duplication of the CDs for gifting or selling however, is in breach of the copyright laws) ___________________________________________________________ Video Watch - A couple of perhaps life-changing- videos The Sirius Project Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the worldwide Disclosure Movement and the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence is working with Emmy award winning filmmaker Amardeep Kaleka and his team at Neverending Light Productions to produce one of the most significant films of our time.

RING OF FIRE EVENT - CAIRNS

Dear Friends, On Sunday, May 20th, the sun will turn into a ring of fire! On this day, I will hold a Crystal Skull Meditation at The Chrysalis Centre, 129 Mulgrave Road, Cairns, to celebrate the very rare Solar Eclipse. One of nine significant planetary alignments taking place during 2012, this Eclipse brings an alignment between the Earth, the Sun and Alcyone in the Pleiades Constellation.  The Cosmic Trigger - Feminine Balancing Archangel Metatron via James Tyberonn speaks of the May 20th Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse as being the start of 'The Cosmic Trigger Final Phase'. He describes the Cosmic Trigger is "a resonate energy upgrade... the download of Geometric Crystalline Codes necessary for the completion of the 12-Dimensional expansion of our planet... absolutely essential to Ascension". my.opera.com Metatron calls this particular eclipse 'Feminine Balancing' - the time when our male-female aspects come into final integral unity. The Divine Feminine then, will be an important focus for our Cairns gathering. Magnetic Portals releasing Sound Waves As this Ring of Fire Eclipse is believed to herald a major frequency upgrade, the main purpose of our coming together will be to open up to and receive the powerful influx of energies this unique Planetary Gateway offers. Metatron speaks of the Cosmic Trigger as being embellished with "musical powers of healing - harmonizing the imbalance effects of the 2012 intensities". He says magnetic portals will open to release sound waves and fountains of hot gas. My sincere intention in facilitating this Cairns event and bringing through the Sounds of Sirius in that moment, is that everyone present may gain access to these cosmic sound waves. I believe that the transformative sound codes carried within the channelling, will assist each individual to assimilate and anchor the intense energies of the Cosmic Trigger download entering our Planet at that time. Artwork by Leanne M Williams The Crystal Skulls The May 20th Chrysalis event will take place in the presence of some of my most powerful Crystal Skulls. Having done ceremony at many of the Planet's most sacred sites, these crystals hold a wealth of information. Lia's Skull She'Shona Numerous reports from all over the world, tell of people's lives being profoundly affected after spending time in the presence of the Crystal Skulls. After almost every single event I myself have facilitated with the skulls present, attendees have reported noticeable changes in the appearance of their own crystals present. "I had my completely clear, clear quartz pendulum in my handbag on that morning, and since then it is filled with wonderful striations. It looks like it has a spider web inside and it feels like it has woken up. I kept my crystals in my handbag as I felt the energy of the skulls extended way beyond the boundary of the square on the floor so there was no need to place them there. A friend of mine, who was also at the workshop, is experiencing the same with her quartz pendulum. Thank you for opening us to the skull energy." Di Clarke http://www.divinesolution.org One theory about the Crystal skulls is that they create a doorway into other dimensions. Crystal Skulls certainly hold very high vibrational energy, and they have the ability to transmit these vibrational frequencies to other crystals and to humans. The sacred Sounds of Sirius seem to activate the energies within the Crystal Skulls, which in turn activates those in their presence to open up to receive their unique, transformative frequencies. Having the Crystal skulls present during this unique Solar Eclipse event then, can only serve to amplify our ability to receive the new incoming Cosmic frequencies. Poster and Booking Details May 20th is just 12 days away! If you feel drawn to be part of this evening, you'll find a poster here with all the details.

Let us make a vow to ourselves and to each other, to embrace all that we are, and all that we are becoming. As always...

WONDERFUL KURANDA CEREMONIES

Dear Friends, It’s hard to believe that it’s already a week since the Kuranda Crystal Activation Ceremonies! What a memorable Equinox celebration we had! Almost 70 people attended on Saturday night and it must have been close to the same number the following day, with several people bringing their children with them for the Earth Ceremony…but more on that later! Our ‘Temple’ for the Saturday evening Activation Ceremony was very special – a warm and embracing space filled with soft golden light, from the glow of the beautiful chandeliers. Our hostess Liliana, is an artist, so we were surrounded on all sides by her original artworks, strategically placed to give the participants an added feeling of being surrounded by beauty. The altars as always looked stunning, with my Crystal Skulls and crystals surrounded by a profusion of floral gifts and crystals from all the participants, Interestingly, many more of my skull family and crystals insisted on coming than usual, so it was just as well I was able to drive to the location instead of having to fly! Several people later told me that as soon as they entered the room, they could already feel waves of energy pulsing through them. This was not really a surprise to me, given the potency of the Equinox alignment we were there to access, but it was a wonderful confirmation from Spirit that we were indeed ‘tuned in’. When I decide on a date for one of these gatherings, I am always guided to begin the work immediately, as if the event is already taking place. I had therefore, been working on building the energies for this event for over a month – channelling each day to call in the powerful Beings who wished to be there to assist us on the night, and calling also to the souls of all those pre-destined to be present. Kuranda is a place where the ‘Rainbow Serpent’ energy is tangible. The road up from Cairns twists and turns, literally ‘snaking’ up the mountain, in much the same way as the Barrow River cuts through the landscape in snake-like formation. It was a huge honour indeed then, to have the presence of one of the area’s traditional elders at both gatherings. Auntie Esther, who is now 82, is considered to be perhaps the most senior elder of the Tjapukai Tribe. What an incredible privilege it was, to have her sweet and gentle presence there with us. The Earth Ceremony One big difference with this Equinox gathering to previous events, was the decision to have an additional ‘spontaneous’ ceremony the following morning. This evolved from an unexpected and powerful encounter I had in Kuranda while on a visit there to sort out logistical arrangements regarding the venue etc. The encounter was directly connected to the Crystal Skulls. Nirelle Boyd who  has lived in Kuranda on and off for the last 15 years, met me in the village and took me to the markets to introduce me to some people she thought might be interested in attending the Equinox event. One of these people was a man called Sjoerd, Within about minute of exchanging greetings, a huge wave of energy descended on us and before I knew it, I was in full and compelling  channelling mode, right there in the middle of Sjoerd’s organic fruit and vegatable stall! When the first phase of this ‘download’ of energy concluded, Sjoerd told Nirelle and myself about a young lady of Aborginial background, who had contacted him recently. This woman had shared with him that she’d been ‘told’ by her Ancestors that the purpose for her being on this earth, was to bring forth a Crystal Skull, here in the land of Australia. She said she believed this skull to still be in the Etheric Realms, but that it is getting ready to become manifest. Her belief is that it will manifest in the Heart Centre of Australia - Uluru. image courtesy of banyan-tree.com.au When Sjoerd spoke these words about the skull, a wave of emotion surged through me. My body seemed to recognise what had been said as ‘truth’. My channel opened spontaneously once more - a further powerful activation coming through which I felt was particularly important for Sjoerd in relation to his role in the unfoldment of this skull’s manifestation. It was an incredible 40mins for Sjoerd, Nirelle and myself. It felt as if something really quite extraordinary had taken place. At that point in time, it was about 10 days out from the Equinox event, and I’d only had one confirmed booking, but I walked away from there knowing that regardless of how many people did or didn’t turn up, there was absolutely no question in my mind that the Kuranda event should and would take place. Two days later, I met with a friend to do some energy work – a meeting at my home that we’d planned some time previously. As our ceremony progressed, every single one of my 40-odd skulls were taken down to become part of the skull altar. As the energies built and powered through me, it became very clear that the main focus of the session was to assist with the manifestation of the Australian skull.   Hence, one of the main intentions for doing this additional Earth Ceremony was for our group to connect with Uluru and to send our Love and support out through the Crystalline grid, in order to assist this important Australian skull to come into physical manifestation and crystallised form. In the way of the ‘Great Spirit’, the unfoldment of the ceremony ended up being quite different than envisaged! On a further visit to Kuranda, I’d met with another Aboriginal elder who joyously agreed to give us permission to do the ceremony on sacred land. He also offered to be part of the ceremony itself, as well as to attend the Saturday night event. ‘Black fella’s’ time is not ‘White fella’s’ time however, and by the end of Saturday night it became clear that alternative arrangements would have to be made for the next morning. It was agreed that we would leave the altars in place and that we would all return to Liliana’s house next day to do ceremony on the expanse of earth surrounding her home. I assured everyone that although we might have no specific plans about what would occur next day, they could rest assured that something would happen! I’ve been finding more and more, that the real magic often happens when things are unplanned. Which is exactly what occurred!! Early morning, I got a phonecall to say that Liliana had gotten up feeling quite unwell and it would no longer be appropriate for us to the ceremony at her home. Nirelle who was staying with her, suggested that she knew of a place at the Barron Falls where we could go instead. It was agreed that we would let everyone meet at Liliana’s at planned and then proceed to the spectacular waterfall site. So much for planning!! Even before most people had arrived or I’d a chance to announce the change of plan, it started! I arrived at the house myself, to find Liliana lying on a mattress on the floor, receiving some healing. I immediately dropped my bags and knelt down beside her. That was it! Spirit commandingly took over! Having found the perfect opening for the ceremony, it began right there and then! What ensued was nothing short of extraordinary. Channelling of Ancient Ancestral energies, drums, digderidoo, rattles, dance and song…healing tears and laughter…. When I called to the Crystal skulls and the keepers of the Crystalline Grid to connect with the ‘new’ Australian skull, a single cool breeze flowed through from one side of the room to the other, sending a delicious shiver of confirmation through each and every one of us. We called and sang to the skull directly then, chanting softly and soulfully….”We love your into manifestation, We love you into manifestation, We love you into manifestation”. When the intense energy waned to a gentle conclusion, the floor opened to free-flowing discussion. Many in the group shared their thoughts, speaking of things close to their hearts. Finally, in gratitude for the magnificent gifts of Spirit we had received, we joined once more in song, dance and drumming….feeling together, ‘as one’, and totally blessed. Transformation I feel something really important took place in Kuranda last weekend. I believe we created an opening…a portal…an entry point for new Stargate energies to suffuse that land and then travel outwards to the much wider world. A new relationship between the earth and the stars is taking place during these times of transformation and transition.
