SANAT KUMARA REGENT LORD OF THE WORLD
SANAT KUMARA
REGENT LORD OF THE WORLD
The Ascended Master SANAT KUMARA is a Hierarch of VENUS.
Since then SANAT KUMARA has visited PLANET EARTH and SHAMBALLA often.SANAT KUMARA is sanskrit and it means"always a youth". 2.5 million years ago during earth's darkest hour, SANAT KUMARA came here to keep the threefold flame of Life on behalf of earth's people. After Sanat Kumara made his commitment to come to earth 144.000 souls from Venus volunteered to come with him to support his mission.Four hundred were sent ahead to build the magnificent retreat of SHAMBALLA on an island in the Gobi Sea.Taj Mahal - Shamballa in a smaller scaleSanat Kumara resided in this physical retreat, but he did not take on a physical body such as the bodies we wear today. Later Shamballa was withdrawn to the etheric octave, and the area became a desert.Gobi DesertSANAT KUMARA is THE ANCIENT OF DAYS in The Book of DANIEL.DANIEL wrote (19, 20):"I beheld till the thrones were set in place, and THE ANCIENT OF DAYS did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool. His throne Always like the fiery flame and is wheels as burning fire. [His chakras.]"A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him.Thousand and thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times and ten thousand stood before him."I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like THE SON OF MAN came with the clouds of heaven, and came to THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, and they brought him near before him."And there was given him dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all people, nations and languages should serve him.His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." The supreme God of Zoroastrianism, AHURA MAZDA is also SANAT KUMARA.In Buddhism, there is a great god known as BRAHMA SANAM-KUMARA, yet another name for SANAT KUMARA.SANAT KUMARA is one of the SEVEN HOLY KUMARAS.The twinflame of SANT KUMARA is VENUS, the goddess of LOVE and BEAUTY.In 1956, SANAT KUMARA returned to Venus, and GAUTAMA BUDDHA is now LORD OF THE WORLD and SANAT KUMARA is REGENT LORD OF THE WORLD.SANAT KUMARA`s keynote is the main theme of Finlandia by SIBELIUS.
The Ascended Master Hilarion Healing and Truth
The Ascended Master Hilarion - Healing and Truth
The Ascended Master of the Healing Ray
The ascended master Hilarion, the Chohan,1 or Lord, of the Fifth Ray of Science, Healing and Truth, holds a world balance for truth from his etheric retreat, known as the Temple of Truth, over the island of Crete. The island was an historic focal point for the Oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece.We know few of this master’s incarnations, but the three most prominent are as the High Priest of the Temple of Truth on Atlantis; then as Paul, beloved apostle of Jesus; and as Hilarion, the great saint and healer, performer of miracles, who founded monasticism in Palestine. Embodied as Saul of Tarsus during the rise of Jesus’ popularity, Saul became a determined persecutor of Christians, originally seeing them as a rebellious faction and a danger to the government and society. Saul consented to the stoning of Stephen, a disciple of Jesus, failing to recognize the light in this saint and in the Christian movement.jesus had already resurrected and ascended2 when he met Saul on the road to Damascus. And what an electrifying meeting that was! “It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks,”3 Jesus uttered to an awestruck Saul. Blinded by the light that surrounded the form of Jesus, Saul crumpled to the ground. Not only his body but his pride was taken down a few notches that day.This was the most famous of Christian conversions, whereupon Saul became the mightiest of the apostles. Saul took the name Paul and resolved to spread the word of truth throughout the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Paul had inwardly remembered his vow to serve the light of Christ—a vow that he had taken before his current incarnation. Three years after conversion, Paul spent another three years in seclusion in the Arabian Desert where he was taken up into Jesus’ etheric retreat. Paul did not ascend in that life due to his torturing of Christians earlier in that embodiment. In his very next lifetime, Paul was born to pagan parents in 290 A.D. They resided in the same geographical region in which he had lived as Paul in his previous lifetime. As a young boy, Hilarion was sent to Alexandria to study. During this time of study, he heard the gospel and was converted to Christianity.His greatest desire was to be a hermit—to spend his time fasting and praying to God in seclusion. So he divided his fortune among the poor and set out for the desert near Gaza. He spent twenty years in prayer in the desert before he performed his first miracle. God, through him, cured a woman of barrenness. And his healing ministry began.Soon Hilarion was sought out by hundreds who had heard of his miraculous cures and ability to exorcise demons. In 329 A.D., with a growing number of disciples assembling around him, he fled to Egypt to escape the constant flow of people seeking to be healed from all manner of diseases. His travels brought him to Alexandria again, to the Libyan Desert and to Sicily.But his miracles did not only include healings. Once when a seacoast town in which he was staying was threatened with a violent storm, he etched three signs of the cross into the sand at his feet then stood with hands raised toward the oncoming waves and held the sea at bay.Hilarion spent his last years in a lonely cave on Cyprus. He was canonized by the Catholic Church and is today known as the founder of the anchorite life, having originated in Palestine. To this day, those known as anchorites devote themselves to lives of seclusion and prayer. Hilarion ascended at the close of that embodiment. Hilarion, as an ascended master, speaks to us today of the power of truth to heal the souls of men, delivering his word through The Hearts Center’s Messenger, David Christopher Lewis. Current teachings released from Hilarion include the following:
·On the power of healing: Hilarion teaches his students that “[t]he power of healing is within your Solar Source.” He gives his students “an impetus, a spiral of light that you may fulfill your mission…” and exhorts them to “use this spiral of light for the benefit of sentient beings”. —July 2008
·On the power of joy: Hilarion encourages us to “experience the pulsation of joy” and shows each of us the joyous outcome of our life, which is “a life lived in joy.” He assures us, “I will always lead you to your freedom to be joy”. —June 2008
·On the love of truth: Hilarion teaches that the love of truth will enable us to see clearly the light that is within us. He teaches that instead of criticizing, we must go within and eliminate the particles of untruth within ourselves. —February 2008
·On the action of solar light: Hilarion delivers a greater action of solar light to help release all past awareness of lives lived outside divine awareness. He explains his ongoing mission over many lifetimes—to heal by the power of each soul’s recognition of the truth of her own divinity—and pronounces, “I am the messenger of healing and joy to all. May your life as a God-realized solar being be bright-shining ever with the aura of the truth who you are in my heart.” —March 14, 2008
1.“Chohan” is a Sanskrit word for “chief” or “lord.” A chohan is the spiritual leader of great attainment who works with mankind from the ascended state. There are seven chohans for the earth—El Morya, Lanto, Paul the Venetian, Serapis Bey, Hilarion, Nada and Saint Germain.back to Chohan…
2.The ascension is complete liberation from the rounds of karma and rebirth. In the ascension process, the soul becomes merged with her Solar Presence, experiencing freedom from the gravitational, or karmic, pull of the Earth and entering God’s eternal Presence of divine love. Students of the ascended masters work toward their ascension by studying and internalizing the teachings, serving life, and invoking the light of God into their lives. Their goal as they walk the earth is the cultivation of a relationship with God that becomes more real, more vital with each passing day.back to ascended…
3.Acts 9:5 back to kick against the pricks…

I have stood in the Great Hall in the Great Central Sun. I have petitioned the Lords of Karma to release Dispensation after Dispensation for the Sons and Daughters of God and, yes, for the Torch Bearers of The Temple. Countless times I have come to your assistance with a release of Violet Flame sufficient to clear all debris from your consciousness. Numberless times I have engaged the Love of my Heart to embrace you, to comfort you, to assist you when you have not known which way to turn.

With
the terror threat level downgraded from critical, it's becoming
apparent that the British security services had very little intelligence
to go on - GCHQ the British / American communications
intercepted information detected absolutely nothing - Because the
organisers of the attack were conducting all their meetings face to face
and not over electronic mediums.

On The Manchester Attack... Monday, May 29, 2017 Connecting Consciousness
Simon Parkes s
In
a previous post regarding the Manchester bombing, I said a rucksack was
used to carry the bomb - All the British news agencies were pushing the
line that a bomb vest was used.
Now
American intelligence quoting British forensic evidence report that
indeed a rucksack was most likely used to carry the bomb - I was aware
of this 4 hours after the blast, yet established British Media peddled
the lie, even when MI5 knew as I did.
What
citizens of the world are NOT being told is why did American
intelligence leak the British taken photographs of the bomb parts found
at the Manchester attack?
Answer
because the US wanted to show the world that the level of
sophistication was beyond a ‘Rag Tag Arab Terrorist group’ The bomb
detonator indeed had a complex team organising him.

καλοστημένο δίκτυο δωροδοκιών, που δρούσε επί μακρόν, δίνοντας
χρηματικά δώρα και άλλα ωφελήματα, κυρίως σε γιατρούς και νοσηλευτές
δημόσιων νοσοκομείων, αποκαλύπτει η πολυσέλιδη εισαγγελική πρόταση, με
την οποία ζητείται η παραπομπή σε δίκη έξι ατόμων για δωροδοκίες, με την
επιβαρυντική περίσταση του νόμου περί καταχραστών του Δημοσίου. Κατά
την εισαγγελική κρίση, το ποσό, συνολικής αξίας 1.894.416 ευρώ, το
λάμβαναν γιατροί και νοσηλευτές «παρανόμως και ασυμβίβαστα με την
ιδιότητά τους», αφού η πολιτεία τούς είχε εμπιστευθεί για την κρίση τους
σε έναν τομέα ευαίσθητο που αφορά την υγεία των πολιτών. Κατηγορούμενοι
είναι πρώην στελέχη της Bayer ΕΛΛΑΣ ΑΒΕΕ και δύο εκπρόσωποι εταιρειών
που φέρονται ότι συνέδραμαν με τις ενέργειές τους την εξέλιξη του κύκλου
των δωροδοκιών, που σύμφωνα με την εισαγγελική πρόταση έφτασαν τα

Μια από τις πιο έγκυρες και πιο έγκριτες γερμανικές εφημερίδες με

στις λεγόμενες «Dogfights» (αγγλ. Σκυλοκαβγάδες ή μάχες
μέχρι θανάτου) αερομαχίες, οι οποίες, έχουν πολλαπλασιαστεί επικίνδυνα
και έχουν πάρει σχεδόν τη μορφή αληθινών αερομαχιών. Σύμφωνα με την
εφημερίδα, παίρνοντας υπόψη τη σωματική και ψυχική καταπόνηση των

At least 137kg of Captagon, dubbed a “jihadist drug” and “the
drug of the Syrian conflict,” was seized at Paris Charles de Gaulle
Airport in a first for France, customs officials said, adding that half
of the illicit cargo was destined for Saudi Arabia.
“This
is the first time this drug has been seized in France. The value of the
goods is estimated at around €1.5 million on the illicit market,” the statement said.
According
to the customs services website, Captagon is a psychostimulant created
in the late 1950s and now mainly consumed in the Middle East.
In
January, customs officers at Charles de Gaulle Airport intercepted two
industrial molds coming from Lebanon and destined for the Czech
Republic. “The drug was actually concealed [inside] the
molds... In total, [customs officers] extracted some 350,000 pills with a
total weight of 70kg,” the statement added.
France
then launched an investigation together with the German and Czech
authorities. It later appeared that the cargo was actually destined for
Saudi Arabia, passing via Turkey.
A second batch of the “jihadist drug” was seized at the airport in February in a cargo heading from Lebanon to Africa. “The [customs] agents [seized] 67kg of Captagon pills concealed… inside steel molds,” the statement added.

Captagon, an amphetamine-type stimulant, is widely distributed in the Middle East, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime.
The drug is currently used by jihadists in several Middle Eastern war zones to enhance battle performance, according to various reports.
Captagon
increases blood pressure, heart rate and alertness, Carl Hart,
professor of psychology and psychiatry at Columbia University, told the Live Science website. Hart, however, dismissed the media claims that the drug can turn users into “supersoldiers.”

Στην επιστολή του, που κατέθεσε στα Ηνωμένα Έθνη ο μόνιμος αντιπρόσωπος
της Τουρκίας, η Άγκυρα ουσιαστικά απειλούσε με casus belli τόσο την
Λευκωσία όσο και τις δυο εταιρίες που έχουν κερδίσει τον διαγωνισμό για
το Οικόπεδο 6, καθώς όχι μόνο αμφισβητούσε τη δυνατότητα της Κύπρου για
διενέργεια ερευνών αλλά και αδειοδότησης των Οικοπέδων της Κυπριακής
ΑΟΖ, αλλά δήλωνε με τον πιο επίσημο τρόπο στον ΟΗΕ, ότι ένα μέρος του
Οικοπέδου 6 ανήκει στην τουρκική υφαλοκρηπίδα.
Η μόνιμη αντιπρόσωπος της Ελλάδας στον Διεθνή Οργανισμό, κ. Αικατερίνη

συμπεριληφθεί και στο επόμενο δελτίο του Δικαίου της Θάλασσας.
Η κ. Μπούρα απορρίπτει όλους τους ισχυρισμούς των Τούρκων και τονίζει
ότι «σύμφωνα με το σύνηθες και το συμβατικό διεθνές δίκαιο, τα ελληνικά
νησιά, συμπεριλαμβανομένων εκείνων της εν λόγω περιοχής, δικαιούνται να

περιέχονται στην προαναφερθείσα επιστολή σχετικά με τον ορισμό των
εξωτερικών ορίων της ηπειρωτικής υφαλοκρηπίδας της Τουρκίας στην
Ανατολική Μεσόγειο. Είναι αβάσιμοι, αναπόδεικτοι και στερούνται νομικής

General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr
Just
as the Russian and US armies are being deployed in the enlarged Middle
East, three channels of communications have been opened up:
1. General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., has been appointed to the US joint
military staff, to handle with the utmost promptitude, any problem
between the two armies operating in the region.
2. A direct line of communication has been set up between those heading
the operations that the two countries are carrying out in Iraq and
Syria, to coordinate their efforts in the four de-escalation zones
established under the Astana agreements. These agreements have been
concluded under the auspices of Iran, Russia and Turkey but have not
been officially recognized by the United States. Thus it seems that there is another agreement, a secret agreement between Moscow and Washington on this point.
3. A direct line has just been set up between the CentCom Commander,
General Joseph Votel, and his Russian homologue. This is to deal with
strategic, not tactical, problems.
This step is going to revolutionize the customary conduct of the
US armed forces which have always been opposed to the creation of such
structures. It is the direct consequence of the new strategy that Donald
Trump has given life to.
"...The failed CIA orchestrated Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 infuriated
Kennedy. It was at this time that Kennedy developed a seething hatred of
the CIA. Kennedy saw the Cuban Missile Crisis of the following year as a
direct outgrowth of the CIA's counter-productive provocation of the
Soviet Union's Cuban ally..."
JFK's
White House talked to the Soviet Union in order to facilitate peace.
Donald Trump's associates may have done the same with modern Russia. In
each case, their opponents have been on the wrong side of history.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy would have been 100 years old this week, had an
assassin's bullet still shrouded in mystery not taken his life in 1963.
As a child, Kennedy was something of both a haunting and a heroic figure
to me. Everyone talked about the young, eloquent, scholarly President
and how particularly unjust, unfair and utterly tragic his death was.
Were I a Catholic, I'm sure I would feel there was even some Book of Job like test of faith involved in his death.
As a typical teen who moderately rebelled against the shibboleths
of childhood, I came to see Kennedy as a man whose death was
conspiratorial to the extreme and therefore deeply unfair, but beyond
that and the singular moment of the titanic Cuban Missile Crisis, I took
the view that Kennedy was rather young and inexperienced and died
before he could grow into a genuine leadership position.
This was a view that many in America and throughout the world held for
decades. It was a by-product of a Nixon era that killed idealism
surrounding the White House and a slightly later Reagan era that loved
to present small details and rhetorical coups into actual achievements.
But while Reagan said 'tear down this wall', Kennedy was actually working to build bridges over various walls, including 'that wall', throughout the latter periods of his Presidency.
When JFK became President he was a breath of fresh idealism during a
Cold War that had previously been dominated by the 'egg head' Adlai
Stevenson on the left and a John Birch Society on the right that came
out with frequent publications on how even Ike Eisenhower was a 'secret communist'.
The businesslike/ultra-politician Nixon lost the 1960 Presidential
election to a JFK who looked and sounded like the future. Kennedy like
his personal acquiescence, the right-wing but libertarian Cold Warrior
hawk Barry Goldwater (yes, such things existed in the Cold War), was an
instinctual and ideological anti-communist, but Kennedy also offered a
king of below the surface pragmatism that many mistook for weakness.
Crucially, both the Democrat Kennedy and the Republic Goldwater, unlike
today's class of US politicians, did not harbor personal animus against
Russian culture, the Russia people or Russia's pre-Bolshevik Orthodox
Christian traditions. In many ways, the American anti-communists at the
time were friends of Russia's Orthodox tradition, albeit at times
'friends' that they didn't necessarily need or want.
Upon becoming President, Kennedy surrounded himself with family. His
brother Robert who was the most scholarly and impassioned of the Kennedy
clan became Attorney General, while his more street minded political
mover and shaker brother Edward managed the campaign.
The young Kennedy White House came into contact with what we now
call the 'deep state' fairly early on. Kennedy who favored transparency
in government was viscerally appalled at the covert attempts of
organizations like the CIA to sabotage this transparency.
The failed CIA orchestrated Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 infuriated
Kennedy. It was at this time that Kennedy developed a seething hatred of
the CIA. Kennedy saw the Cuban Missile Crisis of the following year as a
direct outgrowth of the CIA's counter-productive provocation of the
Soviet Union's Cuban ally.
It was only after the Bay of Pigs disaster that Robert Kennedy started
to hold secret conversations with the Soviet Intelligence officer Georgi
Bolshakov. Through him, the White House was at long last able to speak
directly with the Soviet Union and speak in a civilized manner away from
the public spotlight. This may have gone a long way in helping Kennedy
to avert disaster during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US and USSR set up a direct hotline
between the two countries to avoid future confrontations. It cannot and
must not be understated how the covert communications of the Kennedy
White House prior to the Missile Crisis helped lay the foundation for
the two sides officially talking to one another during a time when
communication was growing ever more essential.
Kennedy's first major public foreign policy shift came during a speech
in June of 1963 at the American University. The so-called Peace Speech
was one of the final major speeches Kennedy would give before being
killed in November of 1963.
In his speech, Kennedy said,
"What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax
Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the
peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about
genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living,
the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a
better life for their children - not merely peace for Americans but
peace for all men and women - not merely peace in our time but peace for
all time.
I speak of peace because of the new face of war. Total war makes no
sense in an age when great powers can maintain large and relatively
invulnerable nuclear forces and refuse to surrender without resort to
those forces. It makes no sense in an age when a single nuclear weapon
contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all the
allied air forces in the Second World War. It makes no sense in an age
when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be carried
by wind and water and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and
to generations yet unborn.
Today the expenditure of billions of dollars every year on weapons
acquired for the purpose of making sure we never need to use them is
essential to keeping the peace. But surely the acquisition of such idle
stockpiles - which can only destroy and never create - is not the only,
much less the most efficient, means of assuring peace.
I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of
rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as
the pursuit of war - and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on
deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task."
He continued,
"No government or social system is so evil that its people must be
considered as lacking in virtue. As Americans, we find communism
profoundly repugnant as a negation of personal freedom and dignity. But
we can still hail the Russian people for their many achievements - in
science and space, in economic and industrial growth, in culture and in
acts of courage.
Among the many traits the peoples of our two countries have in common,
none is stronger than our mutual abhorrence of war. Almost unique among
the major world powers, we have never been at war with each other. And
no nation in the history of battle ever suffered more than the Soviet
Union suffered in the course of the Second World War. At least 20
million lost their lives. Countless millions of homes and farms were
burned or sacked. A third of the nation's territory, including nearly
two thirds of its industrial base, was turned into a wasteland - a loss
equivalent to the devastation of this country east of Chicago.
Today, should total war ever break out again - no matter how - our two
countries would become the primary targets. It is an ironic but accurate
fact that the two strongest powers are the two in the most danger of
devastation. All we have built, all we have worked for, would be
destroyed in the first 24 hours. And even in the cold war, which brings
burdens and dangers to so many nations, including this Nation's closest
allies - our two countries bear the heaviest burdens. For we are both
devoting massive sums of money to weapons that could be better devoted
to combating ignorance, poverty, and disease. We are both caught up in a
vicious and dangerous cycle in which suspicion on one side breeds
suspicion on the other, and new weapons beget counterweapons.
In short, both the United States and its allies, and the Soviet
Union and its allies, have a mutually deep interest in a just and
genuine peace and in halting the arms race. Agreements to this end are
in the interests of the Soviet Union as well as ours - and even the most
hostile nations can be relied upon to accept and keep those treaty
obligations, and only those treaty obligations, which are in their own
interest.
So, let us not be blind to our differences - but let us also direct
attention to our common interests and to the means by which those
differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences,
at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the
final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this
small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's
future. And we are all mortal."
This speech was without a doubt the most radical shift in favor of peace
delivered by any major US President during the Cold War. The speech
challenged the prevailing narrative of the US stand-off with the Soviet
Union. It implied that dialogue, genuine co-existence, attempts at
building mutual understandings and that seeing Soviet citizens as
'fellow men' rather than alien objects was possible. In 1960s America
this was revolutionary. To the deep state, it was treason.
Many have commented on the proximity of this speech with Kennedy's
untimely assassination. Kennedy's assassination is a subject which the
world will probably never have all the answers too. Like 9/11, it
remains an issue that will forever divide America and the world, even
though most people inside and outside of the US, do not believe the
official stories about either tragedy. Still, no one can agree on which
'non-official' version is the most accurate.
Had Kennedy lived and had he won a second term, he may have been
able to engage in something even more meaningful than Nixon's greatly
undervalued detente. Kennedy could have brought peace between
superpowers and done so without firing a shot let alone compromising the
integrity and dignity of either side.
Kennedy's ability to use his bother Robert's mind to convey the truth of
White House thinking to the Soviet Union combined with JFK's public
call for peace could have changed the world. In this sense, Kennedy's
intelligence, dignity and optimism was more than just window dressing.
He was in fact, the real deal.
Now that we're living in a new and even more foolish Cold War, Donald
Trump offered a breath of fresh air when it came to thinking about
Russia. Where Kennedy was killed by the bullet, Donald Trump's plans for
peace have been killed by a thousand little blows. Trump's Russophobic
opposition are trying to assassinate his credibility and character.
Even if someone in Trump's team, whether Mike Flynn or Jared Kushner or
anyone else is 'talking with the Russians', what is wrong with that?
Churchill said "To jaw-jaw is better than to war-war'. Kennedy
understood this, so too does Donald Trump.
I've always felt that Donald Trump like Kennedy is honest about his
political intentions and that also his heart is in the right place. They
are very different men but both came to the conclusion that peace is
worth striving for.
Indeed no matter the style of delivery, peace is a universal language.
The deep state and others who seek to profit from conflict cannot speak
of it, but they can hear it.
They have shown in the past that they will stop at nothing so that others cannot hear the call.
