Levels of Maximum Light. They are two beautiful persons in
every sense: open, humble, sincere and always ready to
give love.
Christian Villarroel,
niña indígena y María Ángela Colombo
“I know that at that
time, the archangels that work for our planet in each of the
four cardinal points, Raphael, Mikael, Gabriel and Uriel,
together with their legions of angels, entered the vortexes
of energy found in the Gran Sabana to do a work of light and
cleanse the bodies, both material and ethereal, of that
place. This way, they expand said energy throughout
Venezuela and throughout the planet in general, manifesting
thus the great Christic Shroud or shroud of light that lives
in each one of us and covers the whole planet. I am very
grateful to the Great Hierarchy and to those who worked for
this trip, for letting me get to know the Gran Sabana at
such an important moment in time and to participate in this
great event. I especially want to thank my dear friend Clara
Isabel, who so lovingly offered to narrate the trip,
allowing us to relive each moment in a wonderful way, and in
doing so, participate in what I feel is part of my mission.
I think that the Hierarchy has brought us together to do
this same work.”

An Extraordinary Trip to the Heart of the
Gran Sabana
LIFE
had given us something very special, a true gift… A trip from
September 9 to the 15 to one of the most spectacular sites in this
country, a country to love…
THE GROUP
was formed by people from the most diverse disciplines of inner
training, most of them involved in some sort of spiritual search.
They came from such varied paths as the Ascension
to the Levels of Maximum Light, The
Round of the Elohim, Tempe
Cume, A Course of Miracles,
Metaphysics. Some dropped in “by coincidence”; they were meant
to live the experience. Some were of our acquaintance, others were
“strangers”… Everyone arrived as they were supposed to, even
a friend who was so determined to go, that she paid her way
although she knew that there was no space left. At the last minute
someone cancelled, allowing her to travel; the bus driver was
replaced and asked if he could take along a friend. Thirty people
and two drivers, who joined in on the work like one more hand that
intertwined with ours, to perform the work of light.
THE GUIDESwere Christian Villarroel and Maria
Angela Colombo, a couple devoted to inner work, divulging the work
of the Ascension to the Levels of Maximum Light (see interview…).
They are two beautiful people in every sense: open, humble,
sincere and always ready to give love.
THE PREPARATION was
done carefully: Spiritually, meditation and cleansing of the
energies; physically, depuration and fasting prior to the trip;
Logistically, the group was organized in nuclei that were in
charge of the areas of finance, purchases, planning of menus and
the preparation of food that would be taken, either ready or half-cooked.
For the trip as such, five groups of six people each, were formed
“at random”. Each group was assigned a daily chore from the
following: breakfast/ lunch/ dinner/ washing of utensils/ cleaning
of bathrooms and cleaning of the bus.
THE PURPOSE
of the trip was to offer our service to the Hierarchy to receive
and send out the energy we receive from Sirius, which is meant to
rid that area of contamination at all levels. We were to serve as
anchors of the Light for that zone, for the country and for the
planet. The daily meditations included the exercise for the
Ascension to the Maximum Levels of Light and The Round of the
ELOHIM.
THE TRIP began
on Saturday, September 9. The first miracle was that the luggage
fit in the bus. We started out happily our journey to the east,
via Barcelona. We detoured to El Tigre to spend the night at El
Ciprés, a property belonging to Roger and Emma, a charming French
couple of endless generosity; good people who have adopted
Venezuela as their own and are set in this land in body and soul.
Sunday,
September 10, we left for Ciudad Bolivar and Puerto Ordaz. The
first stop and a photograph must was Parque Cachamay, where the
rapids of the Caroni River impressed us. We took the way from San
Felix to Upata, always going south. Then came Guasipati, El
Callao, Tumeremo, via El Dorado, Kilometer 88 (San Isidro) all the
way to Piedra de La Virgen, the entrance to Canaima National Park.
Leaving behind the Sierra de Lema, we entered the Gran Sabana when
it was already night. As we neared our destination, San Francisco
de Yuruaní (Qmaracupay), from our heart, we greeted the Spirit of
this land, telling it that we were there with all our love; each
one felt inside the welcome of the Gran Sabana, a truly
unforgettable experience.
Our
“5-star hotel” was a Pemon Indian temple, an ever fascinating
open churuata (typical
hut) with a perfectly designed roof and a pressed dirt floor where
we set up camp and enjoyed a restful sleep.
On
Monday, September 11, we visited QUEBRADA DE JASPE (Kaku Paru),
where the most important part of the work was to be done. The
place is magical; vegetation is lush and the perfectly transparent
water allows one to see the jasper at the bottom in all its
splendor. The waterfall, though strong, was like liquid lace
offering us a continuous feast of movement and sound. In short,
the work we had gone to do was to enter the waterfall and
visualize ourselves through a cylinder of light, taking that light
to each one of the chakras and projecting it forward. We did this
and in exchange, we had amazing experiences (see TESTIMONIES). Two
very cordial and vigilant Pemon Indian park guards were with us at
all times.

In
the afternoon, we went to SALTO DEL RIO KAMA (Kama Meru), an impressive
waterfall. From the observation deck, we watched a beautiful rainbow and
bought local folk artworks.
On
Tuesday, September 12, our first destination was the SALTO DEL RIO ARAPAN
(Arapan Meru) also known as QUEBRADA DE PACHECO, another waterfall. We
hiked up a small hill and walked the savannah, admiring the tepuyes. As we entered farther into this majestic territory, the
immensity of the sky became evident and before our eyes unfolded that
tapestry of endless green… We were inevitably humbled by the
surroundings, which filled our spirits with joy on seeing so much beauty.
When we arrived at POZO AZUL (the Pool at Quebrada de Pacheco), each and
everyone felt the enchantment of the place; the pond’s clear water let
us see all the way to the bottom in spite of its noticeable depth and
greeted us for the meditation of that day’s ELOHIM. Just like at the
Quebrada de Jaspe, we enjoyed experiences with the elementals that are
worthy of note.
At
midday, we had fun sliding down PACHECO’S TOBOGGAN; in the afternoon, we
went to BALNEARIO DEL RIO SUAPURE (Rio Suapure swimming facility). Walking
along the foot of the mountain, we reached an enormous natural toboggan
with a torrent of water. There, we had a chance to overcome many a fear…
and again confirm that we can do anything if we lend each other a hand.
Members of the group that could not swim were able to live the experience
of allowing themselves to be swept by the current, letting go of many
limiting beliefs in the process. They did it by forming a human chain that
threw itself downriver in the midst of laughter and feelings of freedom. A
Pemon Indian friend was waiting for us at the bottom of the slide to catch
us so we would not keep going down river…
On
the way back, we were impressed by the majesty of Roraima Tepuy and Matawi
Tepuy, from which the third highest waterfall in the world originates,
that of the Kukenan River.
On
Wednesday, September 13, we visited the RAPIDS OF KAMOIRAN and the SALTO
KAWI (Kaui Waterfall) where we met a group of Pemon Indian children. The
beauty of their features made us want to photograph them to which they
quickly and happily agreed. We noticed that they always greeted with their
hands open and extended outwardly. When we asked them about their way of
greeting, they said, “Quinientos” (Bs. 500 per photo…!!!). From then
on, the gesture was known as the “Pemon greeting”.
That
night, with the full moon, we did a very special meditation and stayed up
till the wee hours.
Before
dawn the next day, Thursday September 14, some members of the group who
had stayed up were presented with a view of UFOs, an experience that
deeply impressed everyone (see TESTIMONIES).
Very
early Thursday, September 14, we proceeded to take down the tents and go
back to our friends’ farm where we would spend the last night, but first
we stopped at El Cintillo to buy delicious cheeses and buns that would do
for our dinner.

Friday,
September 15 we began our journey back to Caracas and as we left behind
that land of wonders, we felt it bidding us farewell, lovingly leaving its
doors open for our hopefully soon return.
We
said “good bye” to the following tepuyes:
TRAAMEN, IRU, KARAURIN, WADAKA PIAPO, IUARKARIMA, MATWI (KUKENAN), RORIMA
and CHIRIKAYEN (Man Lying Down).
When
we got back, we hugged a bit melancholic because the trip had come to an
end, but thankful for all the life experiences that we had brought back
with us as cherished treasures that we shall never let go.
THE EXPERIENCES
we shared, in short, are the following:
SENSIBILITY for that great
truth… that the Earth is a living being, that we are a part of it,
that we are ONE with it. That all it holds for us is love and love is
what we should give back. To develop an awareness, do not contaminate
it with garbage, noise, constructions that are not in keeping with the
environment or with incoherent thoughts. Do not rob it of its riches,
not even the smallest of stones or plants.
REAFFIRMATION of the
importance of commitment and of the work of each one of us as anchors
of Light, wherever we may be. Trying not to doze off, maintaining
ourselves alert so that the forces of the collective unconscious do
not catch us… Remembering always that we are Children of God and
that as such, we are beings of light that can dissipate darkness and
produce the changes that correspond to the planet in a harmonious
manner.
THE TESTIMONIES
of several of our companions who were willing to share their experiences
are summarized next:
Clara
Isabel Rodriguez, Carolina Perna and Alida Ottengo
ALIDA:…”From
the very moment we started to organize this trip, I felt that it was going
to be a very significant experience because we were all instruments of a
major effort, directed by the Great Hierarchy of Light that works for the
Earth. Even without knowing it, we are all instruments for the changes in
the planet, being already involved in all of its existing situations.
Therefore, it is we who have to make that change through the energy of the
Great Hierarchy. I know that at that time, the archangels that work for
our planet in each of the four cardinal points, Raphael, Mikael, Gabriel
and Uriel, together with their legions of angels, entered the vortexes of
energy found in the Gran Sabana to do a work of light and cleanse the
bodies, both material and ethereal, of that place. This way, they expand
this energy throughout Venezuela and throughout the planet in general,
manifesting thus the great Christic Shroud
or shroud of light that lives in each one of us and covers the whole
planet. I am very grateful to the Great Hierarchy and to those who worked
for this trip, for letting me get to know the Gran Sabana at such an
important moment in time and to participate in this great event. I
especially want to thank my dear friend Clara Isabel, who so lovingly
offered to narrate the trip, allowing us to relive each moment in a
wonderful way, and in doing so, participate in what I feel is part of my
mission. I think that the Hierarchy has brought us together to do this
same work.
CLARA ISABEL: …“I
experienced a very special rapport with Nature, that the Gran Sabana
welcomed me and was a friendly land. The extraordinary beauty of the
landscape really moves one. At the Quebrada de Jaspe, I followed the
instructions to visualize myself in a tunnel of light and take it through
all the chakras. As I entered the waterfall, I began to see a shower of
colors; they were all moving before me, beautiful colors, as in flashes.
Usually, when I enter a level, I can only see violet, gold or white and I
have to be in a very clean place to be able to see such colors as red,
green or orange with my eyes closed. There, I could see them all; a true
feast… it just would not stop! As I got out, I felt the need to go back
to project, to give out part of what I had received. Then, I saw a shade
of blue that I had never seen before in my life. It was awesome with a few
drops of water that were lit up and were spread out in the same way as the
Christic Shroud. I meditated submerged in water in the pool of Pacheco. I
suddenly felt something brush my back from side to side very subtly and
lovingly, where the kidneys are. Immediately, I began to wonder, to
analyze, to try to think that it had been a wave or that someone had
touched me…but it was too subtle a touch to be that of a hand. I did not
comment on it until the day we were coming back and asked my partner if he
had touched me. He said no, and that in fact, he had felt the same. He was
going to ask the person who was behind him if he had touched him. The
person had not… Afterward, I found out that several of my companions had
had the same experience in that place; and as I think back on it, I think
it was a sort of “caress” from the elementals that were there. I was
filled with love and an incredible peace. It was their gift because they
could probably sense what we were mentally sending out to that whole area
was nothing else but love.”
Teresa
Arigoyen at the Quebrada de Jaspe
TERESA: On
the 13th, there was a full moon and we held a ritual, a very beautiful
meditation with the Elohim. A group of people stayed up and Teresa had the
following experience:… “The first one was seeing the spaceships… it
was around 4 a.m. and about one hour later, another. I could see two
spaceships and the others only one. I could see a large one and a small
one. The first time I saw waves coming out of them and golden dots around
them as those of the Christic Shroud. Then I saw them link up and rays of
light came out in all directions. I said that there was like an energetic
door and a tunnel leading to the ships; we all went half-way and I got
scared, wondering if we were on the right path and at that very moment I
lost the visualization. I then told everyone not to doubt. Maria,
Milagros, Emilia, Luis Manuel, Norah and Isbelize were there. I am telling
you and it feels like I am living it all over again. I am very excited and
I am only sorry that I doubted my mind at that moment. That’s why I
recommend, when you feel frightened, to discard the feeling. It would have
been a wonderful experience to continue on with that journey and contact
those beings with so much light. My life has changed since then; I have
been reading, meditating and have felt closer to Nature. This has been a
blessing to me and it is not just for those who are preparing themselves.”
Maria
Angela Colombo in Pozo Azul
CLAUDIO: …
“In one of our meditations, I visualized my inner Christ and that made
me shed many tears, not out of sadness, but of happiness. It happened when
I visualized a circle like the sun on my heart, enclosed in a triangle. I
was sure that is what it was in my vision and after the meditation, we
hugged and I could visualize it in the others.
DINORAH:… “It was a very beautiful and complete experience
because it was not only a spiritual experience, but a tourism spree. We
went to Macagua Dam where we found out that the Yekuana Indians can
visualize nine heavens, an especially important data considering our work
with levels. I had incredibly mystic occurrences that closed life cycles
and brought me closer to the essence of my mission. It was quite beautiful
work we did there as a team; we always achieved a harmonious environment.
I had the occasion to watch a UFO with some of my companions at around
4:15 a.m. on the night when the moon was full. We had been awake, keeping
watch. We saw three UFOs and the main spaceship.”
ISBELIZE: …
“From the moment we started to plan the trip, the experience became
transcendental thanks to an inner work. We had to adapt ourselves to a
series of things because we had never planned a trip before, let alone to
pass a whole week together in the Gran Sabana. We had to get organized,
buy supplies and take on a lot to make this trip happen. The most
beautiful part for me was that 30 unrelated people, some of whom did not
even know each other, were able to live together harmoniously and lovingly
for one week; understanding, supporting each other and respecting each one’s
space and time and respecting their evolution. I think that if we could do
it for one week, we can do it all the time, with our neighbor, with the
family, with our co-workers. It’s a matter of deciding it and putting
your mind to it. When we came back, I feel that we are not the same group;
we are a group that is enriched, integrated and has established a
relationship beyond family ties, a very strong energetic bond. We are a
work team just as the planet is requiring today, not in an isolated manner,
but growing as a group. Personally, I lived an experience from the moment
I set foot in the Gran Sabana until I got back. It was most rewarding
because I was able to make contact with myself and understand things that
were happening to me, allowing me to make changes in my life from that
moment. At Jaspe, I was able to awaken an ancestral memory of which I only
had had a glimpse before, in which I was a man, had been ousted from there,
and didn’t know why. I always wanted to go there, but didn’t know when.As soon as I went in, I knew that I would go through a healing
process. While waiting for my turn as each one entered the waterfall, I
lay down and started to breathe in on Jaspe soil to make contact with the
energy there. I felt the energy and the vibrations of that land right away.
Immediately, I entered the cascade and realized that I was going into an
energetic tunnel and felt my head split in two with the two hemispheres
separated. That impact was very hard and for the third time I was able to
see my MERCABAH active, which started to spin giving out lights in all
colors. I felt there was something external, above me that sucked me up
and I kept rising and rising… At one point, I realized that I was not
breathing, and it was then that the ancestral memory awakened; I felt a
lot of pain and feared that if I let it suck me up, I would not be able to
return. That fear made me get out and embrace Christian. I felt the need
to get back into the waterfall, where the current was not as strong, and
asked to be left there as long as it was necessary, to not let me get out
until I had completed the work I was meant to do. I felt as if someone
took me by the shoulders and I saw the previous vision again; when I tried
to get out, that which was holding me down did not let me move. I smiled
to myself, remembering what I had asked for… I stayed there until I no
longer felt that which was holding me down and felt free to get out. I
chose to come face to face with the pain and consciously heal it, and I
cried and cried; there I saw myself as a guide, I had made a lot of
mistakes and had dragged down a lot of people with me. This must have been
a very long time ago because I saw a succession of reincarnations to which
I could not go back although I wanted to. I understood that I have been
afraid to face situations that I have had to deal with in this life, such
as responsibility, fear to mess up, influencing people even with just a
thought, all of which have made me feel very limited and “stalled”. I
knew then that I had to love myself more, know that I can make it, that I
am capable of it and that I have help. I understood that I had to live
that experience to heal it and be able to go through with my mission.”
LUIS: … “I can tell you that I had a lot of contact with
Nature, the elementals, water, stones… When I started working on the
levels, I felt a lot energy in my hands and all around me, and I had never
had a visualization. I experienced it in the pool, in the blue pond; there
I saw a lot of symbols. One of them was a totem pole, a mask that was
approaching me. And the day we went to Kawi, I saw the same totem pole as
in the visualization. On the day of the full moon, I was able to see
spaceships along with 4 or 5 more people. I saw two stripes that shot out
from where we were up to the sky. Like two neon tubes that extended to the
ships. I did not see the manifestation of the astral door because
apparently the image dissolved very fast because there was doubt among the
people watching. This was a very interesting experience, I am even feeling
stronger things, especially the energy that moves during meditations. We
also did what we could to cleanse the places where we found evidence of
the people’s unconscious. This is the first time that I travel with a
group where there is total harmony.”
MILAGROS: …
“I truly want to thank the Father for the opportunity to go to the Gran
Sabana. What you feel and what you see is indescribable. We performed a
very beautiful work and very good for the planet, and all that, helped us
to have experiences of opening and closing processes. In my case, I was
reborn. I began to forgive everything and everyone that I thought had
harmed me in my life. I am grateful for what I saw. I saw the face of the
elementals. I asked what they were and felt it was the face of the
elements: earth, water, fire and air.
MIRIAM: …
“I was in Jaspe and wanted to go to a corner where there were two
flowers I had never seen before. I picked them and heard a voice who
started to talk to me; I went to a tree and the tree made contact with me
and told me that these flowers were their gifts to us. That we treated
them badly. I perceive a lot of love, very deep love. I embraced the tree
and felt it was a living being that was talking to me.”

The
Major Arcana of the Tarot are Keywords or Archetypes that connect us directly
with the Higher Unconscious, found in the subtle levels of the Dimension that
correspond to “The Pathways of Etz Ha Chaim or The Tree of Life.” The
latter is a Symbol that represents the Spirit of God in Man and the Universe.
The
Tree of Life may compare to the Divine Atom, which repeats itself infinitely
to form the Great Christic Veil that envelops the Celestial Universe like a
Mantle of Light, Universal Creation of God the Father.
The
aforementioned Pathways are Communication Channels that run between the 10
Spheres (Sephiroth) contained in The Tree of Life, interconnecting one
another.
The
22 Keywords of the Tarot together with the 22 Sacred Hebrew Letters which
represent the Elohim or Gods Creators of the Universe, work in Archetypical
form, within each of the 22 Pathways of the Tree, connecting us with the Doors
to the Supernals, where the Divine Spirit is manifest in each Self.
This
is achieved by means of a Conscious and Specialized Effort, through which we
attain Unity with “the Inner Christ,” first in our own Hearts to later
radiate it throughout the Earth. This is how we will contribute to the
Reconstruction of “Eden or Paradise on Earth”.
This
“Initiatory Work” consists of balancing “The Opposite Pairs” or the
two Polarities, which exist from the very moment of the Creation of the
Universe, when the Father polarized Himself into two Great Energies giving way
to all of his Creation. These are the Masculine and Feminine Energies, which
are also found in all Human Beings.
The
Perfect management of these two Forces leads to the Ascent of Energy up the
Spinal Cord that corresponds to the “Center Pillar of the Tree of Life”.
This will happen once Man is prepared and ready for this transcendental
process, being this, the final step towards “His Enlightenment”.
