Dear Friends,

I just returned from the QL celebration in Taos where I was given the distinct honor of being the last speaker of the three day festival leading to the final "address" by my illustrious colleague, Professor Saint-Germain.

In this article, I will relate some of my personal experiences along with describing the major concepts I discussed in my talk on Wednesday 9/19, and in addition provide here important additional insights that I was unable to include there due to the time constraints and the nature of the high energy that like a juggler, I was balancing at the time of my talk (I was clearly in an altered state ;-)). I know that some of you were unable to get into the webcast during the time, hence this report initially written on Friday 9/21, just prior to the start of Yom Kippur. I will add more details over a bit of time - in particular some personal recollections - as I cannot get this all out today - my apologies in advance. The remainder of this article will somewhat parallel my talk.

Thank you all for reading and thanks as well to all those who were able to listen to the webcast of my talk. The main point I wish to get across here is that the profundity of the events of the last few days is not something words can fully describe. We have all been through a series of profound events this past week and we are essentially still in shock. I cannot predict what will happen in our future - except perhaps for one thing. I do believe there will be a day in the weeks, months or years ahead when one day you will get out of bed and say to yourself "holy cow dung!!" because the impact of all we've been through this past week will finally "hit" us and our mouths will be agape in amazement. ;-)


For creation to take place - one must make a space for it

Many of you read about and listened when I discussed the events surrounding my sister Madeline's passing back in December of last year (see shoud 7 Insights, January). Following her going to the light on the morning of December 26th, I was focused on two things: being "spiritual" and being strong for everyone else including my parents who lost their youngest child and my "big" sister who lost her "baby" sister. The funeral took place and all the events around that, and everything went off without a hitch. But one thing was missing for me: I did not really grieve the loss. Oh, I cried for a short while that night after Madeline "left", but "duty" called and "big brother" had to not let anyone down - I had to be true to my spiritual "station" and be strong.

Some three months later, sometime in March I think, I was reading a book late one night, around 2 AM in the morning. The book is called "Ancient Secrets: Using the Stories of the Bible to Improve our Everyday Lives" written by a biblical scholar and genius of the soul, Rabbi Levi Meier, Ph.D. Rabbi Meier is also a clinical psychologist and Chaplain at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles - that's where the actors living in the Hollywood area tend to go if they need medical treatment.

I was reading a chapter in his book called "The Art of Dying." It described the events surrounding the death of the patriarch Jacob. At the end of his life, he gathered all his sons around him, blessed each one, gave them final instructions on living and then breathed his last as he was "gathered to his people" according to the Book of Genesis. But it was something that Rabbi Meier wrote at the very end of the chapter that affected me deeply. He wrote "When you lose someone you love, allow yourself to grieve. Close the door and cry your heart out. Mourn with others. You need the time off, no matter how spiritually elevated you might be." And with that I began to cry, and cry - tears turning into loud sobbing wails. These were loud enough to wake up my son. He consoled me and then I put him back to bed and cried myself to sleep a few hours later.

It was essential for me to grieve the loss of my sister even though I well know that she has not "left" and in fact is with me and my family. But the process of clearing out the old and making a space for new life to take up "residence" is so very important to do even while knowing the fact that each of us is a spiritual master!

Later I will tell about the trip a group of us made out to the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs on Sunday evening 9/16 but the reason I relate this story about my delayed grieving for my sister was because of events that occurred for me on the morning of Wednesday 9/19, the day after the Quantum Leap, the day I was to speak to the group of around 650 in Taos that afternoon. I woke up that morning with quite high, very wobbly energy. I always struggle a bit with these types of presentations - but what do you say on such an unprecedented occasion? And with only 30 minutes to say it! Far too short a time frame, or so I thought. So all sorts of things were going through me at this time.

I forced breakfast into me and then went to sit outside with my laptop to try and impose some semblance of order on my thoughts, to try to "concentrate" on the task at hand. I sat out on the lovely patio area of the Sagebrush Inn on a truly magnificent sunny day in the "land of enchantment" - birds singing, nearby mountains beckoning and winking, breezes kissing my face. The "boys" - our Crimson Council - they were chuckling and poking me in the ribs like "hey, come on, smile, this is party time!" while I'm saying "guys, let's get serious here for a few minutes, I have to talk to everybody." That only made them laugh more and attempt to tickle me even more. Ask for "cooperation" from this bunch on a day like today and what do you get? - a comedy routine by the Three Stooges! Timing, timing.

So, in a near panic I contacted one of my teacher/colleagues who provided me some much needed calming/reassuring energies, and then my laptop battery was running down and so I had to sign off. I returned to my room, went in the bathroom and proceeded to have a good cry, complete with wailing, from a very deep place within. Afterward I certainly felt better due to the release of pent up energies. But there was something far more significant about it than that. It was about saying "goodbye" to the "Old Energy Train" that carried my life before the QL and all my past lives up to this point. When that Old Energy Train pulled into the Quantum Leap station for the last time to drop us off - this was essentially the "end of the line" of our lives as they have been constituted up to that point leading up to midnight of Tuesday, September 18th.

Effectively, what we experienced was "death to ourselves" in that moment - of stepping off the Old Energy Train and onto the station platform in preparation for embarking on the Quantum Leap Express and our New Energy life. Just as in my case with my sister, it is important for us to grieve now, because we died to ourselves (!) and the grieving process is a clearing one - to make room for what is now to come for us in the post-QL omniverse.

And so in my talk, I enjoined the group to make sure there is room within for all of the new, continuous creations that will be coming to us now. Not only did we go through our own death process during this three-day celebration period of the QL in Taos, we were essentially resurrected AND then born again as a transformed, further evolved human.

Note how Yeshua set the stage for us 2000 years ago by being the first in our family to do this, and also in three days time! Now we have all done it, together as One this time. My friends, that can make anyone's head spin so to speak, and I think that has been the case for all of us. So, be sure to do your clearing - that you have done your grieving, and that there is always a space - a womb - for all of the new creations that we will now be experiencing and sharing together in this post-QL life.


Understanding these times and the ones leading up to The QL on 9/18

I realized some months ago that the QL occurred right smack in the middle of the annual ten day period in the Hebrew calendar known as the Yamim Nora'im - the Days of Awe. The month preceding this ten day period is a preparatory one for these Days, referred to as Elul in Hebrew. This word is an acronym that stands for Ani l'dodi v'dodi li, meaning "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine." These words are voiced during every Jewish wedding ceremony that has taken place for literally thousands of years. But it is not just about the intertwining of bride and groom. It is about the greatest love story of all - the coming together of the Divine Feminine (the Mother of Creation) and the Divine Masculine (our Heavenly Father) - the Divine Bride and Groom. On the day when they are no longer exiled from each other and are together as One again, their consummation results in a reborn humanity! Is that not the culmination of what occurred on 9/18? I'll leave that for us all to consider.

From Kabbalah we know that when the Divine Feminine and Masculine join again as One, the so-called olam habah - The World to Come - the world of the messianic age, will have arrived!

Here's what I said about the ensuing Ten Days of Awe last month here in Insights

I've mentioned previously that the date of the QL, 9-18-07, occurs in between the annual ten day period that begins with the Jewish High Holy days of Rosh Hashanah (literally the head of the new year) and ends with Yom Kippur (meaning the Day of Atonement). This is all rife with significance. First of all these ten days of the year are considered to be the holiest in the Hebrew calendar and are also very special from a Kabbalistic standpoint. They are referred to as "The Days of Awe." In a nutshell, they are days, ingeniously designed by our ancient wisdom masters, to return us "back to the future." Rosh Hashanah is indeed recognized as the birthday of creation itself. And like any birthday, it is a celebration of remembrance - of what? Of our original and truest state of existence being fully integrated with Spirit. This new year will be number 5768 of the present 6000 year cycle. Many books have been written about Kabbalistic astrology and so we can't get into a lot of that right here. But it is interesting that adding up the digits of 5768 yields the sum 26 which is the gematria of the 4-letter sacred name, the Tetragrammaton that we have spoken so much about here (and even though this name is traditionally not voiced).

This number also points back to THE VERY beginning of spacetime as it is symbolic of the first Hebrew letter - aleph. Why? Because the aleph, whose gematria is 1 also happens to be composed of the diagonal letter vav (going in the same direction as a backslash) and two yuds, one above and to the right of the vav, and one below and to the left of it. The vav is the 6th letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet and the yud is the 10th, so 6 + 10 + 10 = 26. It's as if Spirit (as referenced by the Tetragrammaton) is stating "I AM the beginning of All That Is" - the aleph being representative of just that. So this new year coming up is not only a birthday celebration of creation, it is like a signpost directly pointing to Spirit - humanity's essential self-identity and our truest "home"!

The QL does not occur on the fourth or fifth day of the ten day period. It occurs on the sixth day. By now we understand that there are no accidents in creation. So the QL occurring on the sixth day must be meaningful. On the sixth and final day of creation before God rested on the seventh, we are told that the land creatures, including human beings, were created. Thus on the QL, 9-18-07, humanity celebrates its very own birthday! This particular year's birthday celebration therefore is special because of the QL and symbolically it is representative of a rebirthing process as a new era of consciousness now leaps into existence.

Furthermore this ten-day high holy day period not only points back to the beginning of our spacetime existence, it is also known in Kabbalah to be a symbol of the Tree of Life with its ten sefirot, which again is the blueprint of all of Life. This annual period was designed to be one of personal reflection culminating in the holiest and most solemn day of the year, Yom Kippur (this year beginning on Friday evening, 9/21). Yom Kippur is an opportunity to fully reflect upon our course in life - what we have achieved or not, all our behaviors and our deeds in this embodiment - and an opportunity to chart a course correction. But moreso, Yom Kippur provides us with an opportunity to perform the act of (in Hebrew) t'shuvah - to turn ourselves around and then to "return" to our true home in, as and of Spirit. It is another opportunity to see ourselves in the One True Light and hopefully, to never retreat from that vaunted "position" once we choose to return. The Day of Atonement is truly the Day of At-One-ment.


Rosh Hashanah took place on Thursday 9/13. We all know about the significance in Kabbalah of the number 13 - it is the gematria of the words echad - meaning One, and of ahavah - meaning love. So THIS particular Rosh Hashanah was "Love is One" day! Also note that 13 is a 4-energy. Tobias again pointed out in his first shoud of the QL celebration the importance of 4 as a New Energy number and David rang 22 chimes to mark the occasion of the celebration. Also note that 9-13-2007 totals 31 - the reverse of 13 and of course also a 4 energy. Note also the "strange" occurrence of the green fireball event seen in the Taos skies that day. An accident? Methinks not. Yom Kippur is tomorrow, 9/22. We all know about 22! Total up 9-22-2007 and what do we get? 40 - also a 4 energy!

We also all know about the significance of the numbers in the QL date 9-18-2007. They total 36 which is double chai - 18, symbolic of a double portion of life itself. 9, 18, 27, and 36 are all in this date too and each one, an energy of completion, is significant in its own right. 27 is the total number of basal frequencies of creation itself as these are the total number of Hebrew letters, in fact 27 represents the entire omniverse from beginning to "end" (there of course is no end). 18 and 36 I've talked about extensively in previous Insights articles (please refer back).

How about Wednesday 9-19-2007 - the final day of the QL celebration in Taos? Its total is 37 which is a 10 energy - which in turn is a One energy - Unity! If the eighteenth was the anniversary of the sixth day of creation then the 19th was the anniversary of the seventh day and we all know what happened on that day. It was the very first Sabbath, Shabbat - the day of rest. It is understood in Kabbalah that when the messianic age arrives - and we therefore have transitioned to the olam habah - the World to Come that there will be a perpetual Sabbath, not just on the seventh day of every week, but on every day forever more. The nineteenth was the anniversary of that first Shabbat and if the QL was humanity's birthday into a whole new world - The World to Come, then what a day last Wednesday was, as important as the QL day itself - and an unimaginable honor for me to introduce Saint Germain's final address of the QL celebration then.


Understanding the Birth of Yoham … and who that is

Finally, I come to Yoham. Tobias explained to us that Metatron has been our "conductor" all along, accompanying us on our long journey on the old energy train. Indeed Metatron has been like the glue that holds our family together. He has been our supporter and voice and Tobias stated that Metatron would transform into Yoham with the QL. On Monday night I did some research on this name. I could not find reference to it anywhere (it could possibly have been used as a biblical name). But I was able to piece together its root etiology. It is derived from Hebrew and the spelling is yud, vav, heh, mem-sofit - יוהם. This is a 4-letter name (there's that 4 energy again!) similar to the unvoiced Tetragrammaton, yud, hey, vav, heh - יהוה (also a 4-letter name).

Note that the first 3 letters of Yoham in Hebrew match the 3 unique letters of the 4 letter sacred Name - the yud, vav, and hey. From this we can easily see that the name Yoham incorporates Spirit within it. At the same time Yoham is a 2 letter by 2 letter (2 + 2 = 4) name. The Yo part - yud and vav mean God or Spirit. The Ham part - the hey and mem - are reminiscent of the Hebrew name Avraham - as in the patriarch Abraham. Avra-ham means "father of a mighty nation" or multitude. Yo-ham therefore means "Spirit of a multitude" or if you play with it a bit Divine Humanity!

Thus Yoham is a name which describes the very process of the Quantum Leap because the QL is a "step up" in humanity's evolution - one in which we became fully the divine humans on earth. Similar to what Neil Armstrong said when he jumped onto the moon's surface back in 1969 - "that's one small step for humans, one giant leap for humanity!" Yoham is essentially then a new species of humanity. No longer homo sapiens, we are "Divi-humanity" on earth. Those who boarded the QL Express made this evolutionary transition first. Many more are "waiting in the wings" to follow suit. We as the teachers of the New Energy are here to assist them as well.

My congratulations to all of you for being reborn anew right here and right now! On Saturday at sundown, the end of Yom Kippur, what began a week ago yesterday on Thursday, 9/13 will be completed - the "deal will be sealed." Please ensure that all parts of "I" - You, Yoham - are fully inside the Quantum Leap Express when its doors close behind you then. And so it is!


Announcement: Upcoming Workshop - "Foundations of the New Energy", February 1st to 3rd, 2008

I announced at the QL celebration that I will be hosting and conducting a brand new workshop series entitled "Foundations of the New Energy in the post Quantum Leap Omniverse." The first of the two workshops of the series will be held during the weekend of February 1st to 3rd, 2008 in the beautiful Woodlands, Texas, conveniently located about a 25 minute drive from Bush-Houston Intercontinental Airport. This series will establish a solid foundation for the New Energy in the NOW, and will complement and support all existing Shaumbra Institute trainings/workshops. It will establish an appropriate background for anyone who has taken any SI training and/or plans to take one in future.

We invite you to join us there for a landmark weekend event! There is an earlybird tuition of $245 (until 12/14) and we are holding 50 seats only, which we expect to fill up rapidly. So please register as soon as possible to take advantage of the reduced rate and to ensure you get a seat! All details and to register can be found by clicking right here.

I am very excited about this and look forward to your being with us! I'm certain we will not only have a surprise or two but the workshop will also serve as a mini retreat-vacation as you will see. Please contact me asap if you have any questions.

Until next time then,

I AM with you all-ways.
