Letter from Mark David

What are you doing
the rest of your life?
North and south
and east and west of your life...
— Alan & Marilyn Bergman

Dear Friends of the Light,

I don’t know about you, but that question is suddenly at the forefront of my consciousness. It seems as though everything is up for grabs and nothing is exempt from re-evaluation.

It’s an unsettling feeling, but also an exhilarating one, as for the first time in my life (or, more accurately, in my awareness), I’m being presented with a field of infinite possibility and unlimited potential with no restriction.

Oh, I know, we talk about these concepts all the time. But so often they seem to be just beyond our grasp...elusive...never quite attainable.

This time, now, today, feels different. It feels as though I have slipped off the cusp, over the threshhold and across the portal.

That’s exhilarating, yet unsettling too — in the same way a writer faces the blank page or an artist the empty canvas. You know anything is possible. You know miracles are about to unfold. But how and where do you begin? That void can feel overwhelming in its vastness.

As these feelings have moved through me over the past 48 hours, it never occurred to me until I began writing this how perfectly what I’m experiencing aligns with the energies of this time, most specifically with the Heaven’s Gate Portal that opens with Tuesday’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.

It’s no coincidence that this portal period straddles the Spring Equinox. For it’s during this period that we are being offered an opportunity to emerge from hibernation and leap forward — not only into the next phase of our life but into the rest of our life.

I have a hard time writing that. It sounds so grandiose. Yet that is the energetic opening being offered to us at this time: an opportunity to step through Heaven’s Gate and awaken the Kingdom of the Divine within...an opportunity to lay the foundation for and anchor the New Earth in our life...an opportunity to choose what our life will look like from this moment forward.

From this moment forward...

For many of us, should we make that soul choice, there will be many more moments ahead of us than science now believes possible.

Which makes this period profoundly important, for whatever we set in motion now and through the 15-day portal period that begins March 14 will have consequences beyond our present ability to conceive.

What are you doing the rest of your life?

What will you carry with you on that journey and what will you leave behind?

Who do you choose to be?

How do you choose to live?

How do you choose to express your mastery...your divinity?

What qualities do you choose to embody?

Yes, we have been asking these questions for many years, perhaps lifetimes. And those answers have mattered.

Today’s answers matter more than at any time in our history.

Today’s choices matter more than at any time in our history.

For today we are being presented with that empty page, that blank canvas. Today we are being asked to write our lives onto that page, to draw it onto that canvas...to create not the life of society’s expectations or even of our own, but the life that we truly desire from the deepest place of our soul and the highest place of our divinity.

You don’t have to do it today or through this portal period. But what energetic portals offer is, once again, an opportunity to take an accelerated path, to flow with the jet stream, to rocket forward into the life of your heart’s desire.

So why not take advantage of the lubricant this period offers?

The first thing to do is be especially conscious of your choices and decisions.

The second is to open — even more than you have been — to your desires.

The third is to act, speak and think in ways that support those desires.

As I wrote a few issues ago, when you act as though, you make it so.

Pay particular attention to March 14, the day the portal opens and we lay the foundation for life on the other side of Heaven’s Gate. Pay equal attention to March 29 (New Moon Solar Eclipse), the day the portal closes and we anchor all we have launched during the previous 15 days.

If you choose to focus and amplify your experience of this portal, I will be offering New Earth Initiations on both evenings, at 8:22pm ET. The initiations will blend light-language singing, inspiration and practical tools to help you take advantage of the energetic opportunities this portal is offering.

It will also guide you as you begin to consciously fill the void with the shapes and colors of the rest of your life.

However you choose to spend the full and new moons and the portal period in between, may you open to all its promise and potential...and yours.

Blessings,
Mark David

The Seven Initiations of Mastery

Because so many of you expressed an interest in my Santa Fe retreat but were unable to make it out here at this time, I have been guided to offer the retreat’s seven initiations as a teleconference series.

This an advanced series, designed for a small group of masters-in-becoming who are committed to working together and with me to accelerate into a fuller expression of their potential and mastery.  

In order to participate you must either have worked with me in the past or commit to participating in a teleconference or experiencing a private session before the first initiation.

Unlike past teleconferences, these initiations are sequential, which means you will not be able to proceed to the next initiation if you miss one, unless you purchase and commit to working with its CD recording. As well, there are no refunds or credits once you register, because I’ll be working with you energetically and etherically from that moment. 

These guidelines are stricter than any I have ever imposed, a reflection of your commitment, not to me but to yourself and to your mastery....a commitment that, in effect, your heart and highest self are asking of you. 

The cost for the series is $333, although if you prepay for the 7 CDs when you register, the total will be $444 ($433 by March 15), including shipping.

Individual CDs will be available at the regular CD price ($17.95 + S&H) only if you miss a week’s session.

Start time will be approximately 9pm ET, but I'll make the final determination once I know everyone's time zones.

If you feel guided to join this group, please let me know as soon as you can, as only two openings remain. If you're interested but the timing doesn't work for you, let me know that as well. If there's sufficient interest, I'll start a second group.

There is no online registration for this series, so please contact me directly if you would like to sign up or have questions. Whether or not you choose to be part of this group, may you step more fully into your potential as the master you are. 

New Earth Chronicles

In December 2004 I left my home and life in Sedona, Arizona and began an odyssey that has carried me back and forth across America. These are my chronicles of this journey, a journey I have been guided to call The Way of the Buffalo, a symbol of the power, presence and possibility of the New Earth.

As I mentioned in the last newsletter, these chronicles of my journey now have their own home (on my blog) and are sent out via a subscription separate from this one.

To view them in their natural habitat all in one place, visit http://markdavidgerson.blogspot.com. That's also the place to go to add your comments to any individual post. (Speaking of which, thanks to those of you who have already added yours.)

If you're not already receiving each new entry in your inbox, you can subscribe by clicking on this link: http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=33212. (You'll still need to go to the web site to add your comments.)

Remember, your newsletter and Chronicles subscriptions are separate and sent out by different services, which each maintain their own version of my e-mail list. Subscribing to one does not guarantee a subscription to the other.

If you're not yet reading what one of you has called "a great example of 21st-century enlightenment," check it out!
