Thread: Newport Retreat

I, too, attended the Christmas Retreat in Newport at Almine’s beautiful home. On Almine diary, entry December 13, 2011, there’s a photo of Almine taken during the retreat with her head appearing as a huge ball of white light. I find this photo especially intriguing, because for some years, I’ve often felt an energetic flow go up my spine, burst through the membrane at the base of the skull and then explode very large. When this happens it feels like a large ball pulsing at my head. This happened numerous times during the retreat and I got to ask Almine about it. She took a moment to look, and then said that she experiences this also, and that what occurs are transfigurations. And so, when I look at this photo, I see a visual image of transfiguration – how cool is that!

The angels were an important part of this retreat. They held insights or the pure parts of the original ones, at various places on the spiral of time, keeping space open. As we gained the insights, the spiral of angels folded into one. The angels then dissolved with an explosion of color into the ocean of angel group mind, and then reformed in brilliant flashes of white light.

My understanding of this is as follows: It isn’t that we learn something new or gain an insight, since there is nothing to learn and nothing to gain. Instead what happened is that at points in the past, we saw shadow as real; we saw limitation and therefore did not fully express (spontaneously interpret the Infinite's expression). In seeing the shadow, we lost sight of ourselves, and in the process, pieces of ourselves that weren’t fully expressing got left behind. Each of the angels embodied one of these pure pieces (insights) and kept the space open for us to retrieve them. When we gain insights we are restoring to ourselves the pieces that we lost. Gaining insights is seeing our true selves again, after having lost sight. Often, hidden kingdoms, in books such as The Gift of the Unicorns, tell of our lost sight and of eyes that no longer see, while speaking about gemstones. Gemstones were also a major topic during the retreat.

A year ago, Almine posted a series of light elixirs on Almine diary. Interestingly, the entry on December 13, 2010 is called the Magic of Man and says, “The magic of man is kept in gemstones. The magic of the god-kingdom is in diamonds. The gifts in the heart of matter do not release themselves until we live in fluid form, spaceless space.” The Open Door given on December 10, 2010 says, “We are the portal to infinite existence…through the open door of our being.” Prior to these, we see a series of firework images throughout July, August and September (also in 2010). The titles included, Life of Oneness, Transcending Polarity, Living Oneness, In Oneness and Ocean of Infinity. Looking at these two series now, I see images of the transition into the reality of no opposites. The firework images are the explosions of light into Oneness and the light elixirs are the melting of form into Oneness. We are the portal and are the fluid, sparkling gems pouring through the portals that we are. This is our magic and to get it back, we see and reclaim our pieces, and in full authentic expression, we rejoin the eternal ocean of Oneness. In Down the Rabbit Hole, Almine says that the crown and the scepter are in the reality of no opposites. The gems that they hold, will be restored, one by one. These gems are fluid and ever new. We are those gems. Almine has said something about seeing the Infinite first before being able to surrender and melt into the Oneness. I find that there is more and more to the relationship of losing sight and the beginning of separation, and of true seeing and Oneness.

At the beginning of the retreat, Almine stated our goal – to stop the movement of the cosmic tube torus (which would also release the lost or captured angels). In an individual the pranic tube was at the center of the individual’s tube torus and created its movement. By closing it down, the movement of the tube torus stopped. We stopped our personal ones and the cosmic one. Stopping time (the movement of the tube torus) changed the date previously given as a deadline, discussed in Down the Rabbit Hole.

The Earth is at the center of the cosmic tube torus and has been terrified of being left behind. The Earth began the 3 day chant of the holy marriage during the retreat. The chant is an alchemical equation, and is in the language of the mineral kingdom. It’s amazing! During the retreat we meditated to 30 minutes of it and then again to one and half hours of it, which was great. As I listen to it, since then, for a half hour or so, the song of my being vibrates with the chant and I feel myself dissolving lose the need to breathe. I’ve listened several times and the changes and benefits continue. While speaking of the Earth’s chant, Almine mentioned the feminine Klanivik (1) and told about the difficulty of producing it. When I got home I listened to it anew and found that it felt even more intense than previously. I could feel it resonate through me similarly to the chant, and so if you don’t have the chant yet, or aren’t purchasing it, you might want to listen to Klanivik. Also to hear the sound of silence plucking your harp strings as Almine describes feeling when listening to our poetry - I feel a strong pulsing when listening to Almine, in the radio shows or in Down the Rabbit Hole, specifically when she is describing how she feels, or how she chooses her clothing to match her day’s expression.

Notes regarding the angels: 144 angels of light held true perceptions. True perceptions are eternal because they are contradictions. The web of perception was created to counteract web of illusion. 254 angels of frequency held the harmony to see perfection underlying appearances. As we understand the perceptions and feel the songs held by these angels of light and frequency, the web shatters.

Notes regarding the Earth: We awaken the Earth’s song as we become poetic expression.

Notes regarding the pranic tube: In the alchemical equation to collapse it, the pranic tube which produces linear time combines with the Haaraknit which brings timelessness.

Notes regarding Gemstones: As we move into Oneness the fluids in our bodies crystallize into gemstones which are fluid gemstones. Organs become gemstones. The fluid gemstones hold memories as inspirations, which are not static and inspire new and deeper experiences. Love moves gemstones into Oneness. They become liquid in Oneness. They become colored wind. Joy makes wind through the cosmos and awakens the heart within gemstones.

Miscellaneous notes: We let go of illusions held in the throat, abdomen and coccyx bone, as well as illusions of the past and of gender. Poetry, meditations and exercises to hear our own song and each other’s songs dissolves these illusions. Learn your own song, know Infinite’s song, then combine. 2005 was a 2012 event for the hidden realms. 2012 is for physical life. 2012 is not just a date, it’s a condition – or the mechanics of a tube torus. If we meet the other side of the tube torus, before dissolving opposites, we encounter the dark pieces, which are attracted by our intense light that we have accumulated on this side of the tube torus.

The meditation given in the Sound of Silence Webinar and the Haaraknit meditation are like those that we did at the retreat and can be useful for entering the reality of no opposites.

The retreat was truly profound and the angels told us that great catastrophes, war and scarcity have been prevented. Songbirds will return, treasures of knowledge will be released, Earth will become fertile, flowers will fertilize themselves and there will be a purging of magic that controls. The angels said that if something is harmful, it is illusion. If it is real, it is benevolent. However, as I understand it, more letting go of opposites, and more entry into Oneness is needed to keep things moving in this way. But, it remains true, that if you know anything harmful is illusion, it is so.

To all who were at the retreat – thank you and it was wonderful spending the time with you!

Dear Marie:
A bona fide thank you for your wonderful report of the Recent Christmas Retreat at Almine's Home in Newport. I was listening to an amazing choir singing 'Sing unto me a New Song' where great harmonic states of expressive exuberance seem to be The Infinite's refrain! I anticipate the Chant of the Earth to be a grand opus of new possibilities.

You culled so many beautiful points of significance that ran through the retreat, like a musical score - one can't help but feel the newness on this plane of existence inextricably woven with the tapestry of these holy days in which we find ourselves...

Season's Greetings dear Marie!
