Spiritual Intensives

Sacred Egypt —A spiritual intensive for planetary and personal change

Egypt is a place I really never gave much thought too.  During the North India trip in 2006 we did work with the grid position at the Taj Mahal.  The changes that took place there led us to Egypt in 2007.  One of the reasons for this Egyptian journey was for Sanatkumara to open two gateways/portals/grids for the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energy. 

My work with the Divine Feminine began in 1995 in England and Scotland.  In the 1990’s Egypt was a hot metaphysical location however, I was guided to other places, like England/Scotland, Bali, Tibet/Nepal and Peru instead.  Personally, Egypt never really excited me.

Life seems to throw many curve balls on our paths and chances for growth.  The journey to Egypt was one of those times in our lives where we had a chance to grow.  The timing was tight and crept up swiftly after India and I was not sure I could pull Egypt together in time.  We were all ready to take the plunge to Egypt when Mother Nature threw a giant snow ball onto our paths.

I planned to travel a day earlier on Friday to have a leisurely arrival and overnight at JFK but that was not the case. On March 17th a snow storm hit the east coast and closed all the airports. My flight was canceled.  I traveled with another person who lived in ABQ and Deb and I woke up at 3:00 am to make the standby list by 4:00 am on Saturday morning.  We checked our bags all the way to JFK and waited for our first flight out of Albuquerque.  After arriving into Dallas—I begged all the way to the supervisor level to get on a flight to NYC.  We got onto a flight to La Guardia and landed at 4:00 pm. Egypt Air flight would leave at 6:30 pm from JFK.

We ran outside (thank goodness no luggage), I literally grabbed the first car service I could and negotiated a private ride to JFK. “Get me to JFK in a half hour and I’ll give you $100.00” I said to this man. The trip from La Guardia to JFK is only 10 miles and 2 hours in the snow traffic.  We arrived and our driver made our journey pleasant and humorous.

I was missing four other people.  Kristi I learned was right behind me at LaGuardia and her journey to JFK was just as notable as mine.  Deb’s and my luggage arrived safely and was picked up by other tour members; Kristi had her luggage in tow. Still missing three others—as we boarded the flight to Cairo I got in touch with them (thank goodness for cell phones)—all canceling at the last minute. All the people who were to go made it on the Egypt Air flight by divine intervention.

We were met at the airport; the airport was clean and organized—very different than Bali, Peru or India.  Traveling to the Nile Hilton, we could have been in London on the river Thames. At first glance Cairo is clean and very well organized. Traffic seemed to flow however, after further review we learned that they don’t have traffic lights and traffic goes all night, slowing only around 5:00 am. We were lucky not to be driving and in dependable hands.

After arrival we walked across the street to the Cairo Museum. It was very crowded and lacked energy for me. I meandered alone from one room into another, gazing at ancient artifacts found in tombs and temples from around the area.

By this time I was over-tired and needed to relax and sleep for awhile. The English guests were to arrive at 9:00 pm.  I decided to meet them in the lobby.  Arriving downstairs I heard load music and learned it was a wedding. I was fortunate to experience three weddings in Egypt.  The English tour members arrived and we were all too together—the complete group for Egypt.

The journey although planned in advance took turns and curves that were not planned.  My guide was a beautiful Nubian woman Egyptologist named Jihan. She was thoughtful, conscious and educated.  

The next day we had a breakfast orientation and the physical trip began. . . .

I just want to say that Egypt is one big blur for me.  The personality was not present. Sanatkumara was. His energy profoundly accentuated everyone’s experience of Egypt. Sanatkumara has been waiting for those that traveled with me to employ their energy at certain locations along the Nile/Egypt and using them as gateways to open up key areas where energy has been trapped for thousands of years.

We began this journey with a solar eclipse, spring equinox and full moon. Today was the solar eclipse and we started the trip in the Christian part of Cairo.  We visited a church where Jesus, Mary and Joseph had visited when they fled Herod and Israel.  I began the tour with a meditation about belief.

Then off to Helopolis. The ancient city of ‘On’ and the temples of RA, the sun-god (solar disc-the same solar disc talked about in Peru and used in the guided meditation Purify the Body Temple). I Helopholis is where initiates came to stud and where off planet beings created programs of study to teach a new race of their abilities and knowledge. Helopolis was the university center.  Today, it’s a suburb of Cairo. We began here to capture a more masculine energy and weave into to the temple of Isis at Philea.  We were taken to a lonely Obelisk in a park where we touched into the energy of the city on ‘On’. For me, the energy welcomed us to Egypt. I felt greeted. As if someone was waiting for me.  Although not much to see, Helopolis had energy. I wanted to dig and go deeply into the sand. We tapped into that ancient, ancient energy.

To the great citadel built by the famous Mohammad Ali (not the boxer). The energy was profound and reminded me of the great mosque in Delhi we visited.  It felt like we pulled energy from one to the other. We left our shoes at the temple door and walked barefoot across the great prayer hall—at the inside wall the energy pulled us again. We sat looking at our first blank wall. A staircase to a closed door invited us to meditate and pray. It was the wall to the west—facing Mecca—there was another gateway here, perhaps a staircase to heaven.  I took a picture and as I focused the camera white energy descended down from the ceiling to the floor. As if another group of spiritual energy was waiting for us here.

We leave Cairo (very early) for Aswan. Our sleepiness immediately changed by a camel ride in the desert. Pure golden sand lay out in front of us for miles and miles. It makes me laugh now writing about the camels.  Very easy to get on a camel until they stand up and it’s not very comfortable to sit on a camel. My camel was named Lotus and was decorated with colorful ribbons around her head.  We all had a great time and experienced our first deluge of vendors around the camels.  It was blissful.

Sailing on a traditional felucca over the Nile we met a young Nubian man who sold us beautiful hand beaded necklaces made by local tribal women.

Our first day on the cruise we did group work and it helped integrate the energy everyone was feeling.  After rest and dinner on the ship we ventured out into town and to the market to shop.

The following day, we left the boat and sailed by felucca to Philea, the Isis temple. It is beautiful, feminine and inviting.  My guide found a place where the original stones from the temple were set aside and I led a beautiful meditation to connect into the divine feminine energy--weaving the masculine from Helopolis to Philea.  Spirit was all around us, as we walked thru invisible gateways and doors. It didn’t seem real. I’d seen hieroglyphics in pictures before and now I’m right next to them. My mind couldn’t wrap around what was in front of me. 

After lunch we sailed back to an island we past from Philea. It’s called Elephantine and it’s an active dig where no one but us and the diggers were.  The energy was pristine.  Temples that were not reconstructed by current standards and fallen stones lay at our feet. We walked up to colored hieroglyphic stone columns, into house entrances, around buildings, the dirt was black, we sat on old stone walls and the memories began to rise. Past life, after past life, whispered over my lips, as not one group member but almost the entire group had at least one past life on the island.

We walked through the ancient past of the Nile.  All around us was evidence of the old cultures as we examined pottery chards, stones and pieces of rock. As we meandered to the south end of the island we were confronted with two stone gates.  I stood in the threshold of one and literally spun around—yet another opportunity to surrender—I  felt the energy penetrate down to the molecular level as I stood in the gate.  We each took our turns—the gate to a new life and new opportunities. Then we walked through another gate to seal the change in our bodies.  Everyone vibrated. We were beginning to feel the power of Egypt all the way done to our molecular field.  Looking south over the Nile we reminisced of old lives we all felt. I didn’t want to leave. I just wanted to stay and remember. After leaving Elephantine Island we sailed to Isis Island to watch the sunset and integrate the afternoon. It was magic. Today is the spring equinox.

The next day we sailed to KomOmbo Temple the only place where two gods are worshipped. This temple represents the two aspects of each of us (female and male) and has two gods—crocodile and hawk. The earth-body (crocodile) and the air-spirit (hawk). Here we experience death of the self—the parts of us that no longer serve us as we are today.  Another past life rose for one person while another tour member deeply felt the energy of Annubis the god of the underworld.  I felt Annubis all around the group—this energy represents the death of the old self—freeing the spirit into flight—the true Self.  We continued our journey on the cruise ship with group work, meditation and ceremony.  Cruising on the Nile.

To Edu Temple and the temple of Horus the son of Isis and Osiris—the eye of God, Sanatkumara is the eye of God. This temple is the best preserved temple in Egypt and the second larges after Karnack.  It’s a library of ancient esoteric knowledge. We stood to listen to our guide explain the hieroglyphics and in the pause of the story, a past life of a queen and her lover and mistress rose.  Not worthy of the queens love they met in this life to reconnect the life memory and heal the relationship.  It was brilliant!!

We continued the journey down (up) the Nile and thru the locks at Esna at night. We stood on the top deck to watch this huge cruise ship go through the locks. It was magnificent how the captains never hit another boat especially at the docks.  We sailed that night to Luxor.  In the morning we disembarked for a hotel. Luxor is beautiful. The energy was serene. I felt at home.

Karnack temple had many surprises for us.  It’s the largest of all the temples in Egypt and houses many different sanctuaries giving us many opportunities to experience.   By Karnack we had seen plenty of hieroglyphics. I had a sense though that something was amiss about the hieroglyphics. I felt that both the Egyptologists and guides were misinformed or reading them the wrong way. My guide pulled me aside and told me I was correct that the government recently discovered that how they have been reading the hieroglyphics is incorrect but they don’t want to spend any money to change the programs. It was at Karnack that I also got that the temples along this part of the Nile were created for a distraction by the ancient Egyptians. I know this sounds silly. I saw the Egyptians in another dimension still functioning just west of where we were.

At the Ramsis temple we encountered our second blank wall experience. I stood at the entrance. Let me set this up for you.  There are a lot of unconscious people at the temples. All the guides tell their version of the hieroglyphics and talk loudly to their groups. It is hard to find a quiet and undisturbed place to experience the energy and do meditation.  Any time there are hieroglyphics there are people. We walked in and out of many rooms, hallways and up and down stairs. Sometimes following the guide and sometimes I lead the way. At the Ramsis temple of Karnack I stood at the doorway of a room with very little hieroglyphics. I felt a pulling in my heart chakra towards the back wall. As I walked into the room out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the hieroglyphics stopped half way. But the wall drew me closer and closer until my nose touched the blank wall.  I placed my third eye and heart on the wall as though they were glued to it. I felt the energy of my cells changing, dematerializing and reforming over and over again. When I opened my eyes—the entire group was doing the same thing. Each person having a personal experience of their own, all I heard was there crying—as they let go of the past. 

When it was time to leave I could not put my back to the wall. Slowly, step-by-step I walked out facing the wall.  Two tour members found themselves in perfect unison, side-by-side in a ceremony together. When they came out they had no idea that the other person was next to them. I felt a dimension shift in that room. 

Blank walls from this point forward became a place of great change for us.  The walls of hieroglyphics were stripped by so many others it was difficult to feel any energy.  The story created by the hieroglyphics was inspiring but for some reason had no bearing on what we were there for.

At Karnak Temple we sat with a life size statue of Sekhmet (lioness Goddess). Our group was all alone in a stone room with Sekhmet. We all sat down on the stone floor in front of her and I put my head on my hands and I was gone. I went totally unconscious—and don’t remember a thing. Sekhmet is daughter of the sun-god Re. She is the triad goddess of Memphis with her husband Ptah. Nefertum was their son and the third member of the triad. Ptah is the creative potter-god who shaped the world and heavens assisted by the seven wise worker-dwarfs of Khnemu. Her name literally translated means "Mighty One", or "Powerful One". Because of her power - she is often misunderstood and portrayed only in a negative way. This is probably because of legends of how Sekhmet as the destructive Eye of Ra was sent forth to punish humanity for its mockery of Her Father, Ra.

She is called Simhavaktra in India where she also has a male reflection in the lion-headed incarnation of Vishnu, Narasimha. Pure shakti, she is a close relative to lion-mounted Durga, "Keeper of the Flame". Indeed, another Egyptian title for Sekhmet is Nesert, the flame. In the ancient Near East she was called Anat, Ashtoreth and Astarte.

My guided walked one way and I walked the other. We found ourselves behind the temples in the dirt, sitting on dirt mounds to capture energy. To later learn that was where Osiris was buried (or thought to be buried).   I walked through weeds and thorns and I wanted to go deeper, down into the ‘true’ temples but there were no stairwells. I wanted to walk through the walls to the other side but only to find street there now.

We walked through huge columns of Hathor heads and visited the female pharaoh Hatshput temple. It is beautiful, an architectural masterpiece.

The Valley of the Kings is where we tapped into the underworld and the burial chambers (unconscious part of the self).   We went into three chambers I believe Sethos I, Tawosert-Setnakhte and a Rameses, which was not totally excavated.  Here we stood at the end of the tunnel and as we looked to where the tomb was, still in dirt, we saw white light figures walking around.  It felt like the hand-maidens watching over the body.  The art and hieroglyphics were magnificent and in the tombs and we walked right up to the walls but never touching the stone.

At Medinet Habu the temple of dreams we walked into two chambers with our guide. As my guide walked out and I walked around another corner, over strewn rocks to an empty chamber with blank walls and began to chant. I remember hearing the chant but kept saying to myself, that can’t be me, that isn’t my voice.  I do remember breathing very strangely and once again had my heart and third eye on the cool stone of the wall. I had no idea who was in the room with me.  Later I heard from the guides and temple priests that the tone reverberated down to their bones. On the bus our guide informed us that the three chambers represented the 3 steps to ascension. In the room I toned in was the gateway to the actually ascension.  

At Abydos is the most amazing site in Egypt. Here we find temples dedicated to Osiris—the archetypal energy of the masculine.  Very old temple, we were led down wooden stairs overlooking a submerged part of the temple, representing the submerged parts of us. The old water was green with algae. The rooms were inaccessible to us again representing the parts of us that are inaccessible. I had a personal experience here.  I felt that Sanatkumara was Osiris (the lord of the netherworld) or the representation of that deity.  It is believed that Osiris head is buried at Abydos. There was a deep memory in Abydos for me. I sat outside in the blowing wind with a scarf over my head and face and felt a vulture on top of my head and Horus in my third eye—I sat up and across from one of the submerged rooms, my heart opened and something was transmitted—I felt a laser like energy beam into my heart and words being exchanged. My mind went to the velocity of the wind—a mental distraction perhaps.  Afterwards I walked the massive columned rooms; it was quiet and felt like home.

At Dendarah we visited the temple of Hathor (goddess of love and joy). The hieroglyphics in this temple are magnificent. We saw the famous circular zodiac hieroglyphics and Nut. Along with the hieroglyphics to Cleopatra and her son.

We leave Luxor and fly back to Cairo. Upon landing I could have been in Chicago. No view of the pyramids. As we drive closer they suddenly pop out from behind the tall buildings.  Our hotel is across the street from the pyramids. Since September 11th, the number of tourist allowed into the pyramids is only 150. We secured private time and I am so thankful that we did. I would not want to be in the Kings chamber with people I really do not know.

Before the pyramid experience we visit Saqqara the oldest pyramid structure. The experiences continue as we walked into this huge complex and more blank wall experiences and past lives arise for healing and love.

One tour member holds within her soul in this life time part of the Imhotep energy, the great architect of the Saqquara Pyramid and Temple. She also learned at the Taj Mahal that she was the architect of that great palace as well—today she is an artist living in England.

There were so many people at this temple that is was very difficult to find a location to do work but we did and it provided a deep healing for tour members. Much of the area is unexcavated. And we could certainly feel it.  Most everyone wanted to go deeper and deeper under the temples or through the walls—it was a very rich experience.

The hotel was surreal—all the modern day conveniences and the pyramids in the background.  I couldn’t wrap my mind around the experience. I thought at times I was in Las Vegas—where they have built a pyramid hotel called Luxor.  The hotel had a pool, pyramid view rooms including a shisha Bar (hookah--glass pipes). It reminded me of Turkey or Morocco.

We drove up to the pyramids in the bus, parked and walked to the great pyramid. I had very little to say. I only wanted to feel the energy. I couldn’t even climb up on the rocks. They were monstrous. I wanted to sit and feel. At one point I laid flat on my back in the dirt and stone slabs. I was not in the 3rd dimension although it looked that way.

We left and drove up to a vantage point to take pictures then walked to the smallest of the three pyramids. Some tour members went inside the smaller pyramid.  At lunchtime the pyramids close and only those people who have secured private time enter. And that was us. They opened up a chamber that never gets opened for tourist and it led to the center of the pyramid, below sea level. To the core of the pyramid.

No stairs just a wood plank with slats to catch our feet. The opening of the chamber leading downstairs was about 2 feet high. It went almost straight down. We went down and returned and now up to the Kings Chamber. Again, a slippery wood plank with slats leads us to the Kings Chamber.  The group was in front of me and I had one tour member behind me.  Bent over most of the distance until we reached a chamber, where we stood up between the narrow halls and the King’s Chamber—it is a dimensional shift. I could hear my tour members but I could not see them. Approaching the King’s chamber I started to cry.  I felt as though I was about to pass through two gates or portals of great change. I am standing erect at this point but had to bend over to get under one of these gates, and then I stood erect and then again bent over.  After the second bend over I could not stand up again, even though I could—the Kings Chamber is square and large. I fell to my knees crying. I couldn’t look up it was too bright in the room. But there were no lights on--only one small florescent light.   There was a massive spirit in the room. I felt unworthy to be there and the light was so, so bright I couldn’t look at it.

We only have an hour in the Kings Chamber and I heard Sanatkumara say get up.  When I looked around most everyone was sitting on the floor. I asked them to lie on the floor with their hearts and third eyes touching the floor. Then everyone started to cry.  I sprayed the room and everyone with Sanatkumara spray including the sarcophagus. As each person lifted themselves off the floor, they saw an imprint of their old self on the floor and a new part of them stood up. We each layered energy into the sarcophagus one-by-one.  We chanted and prayed. Sanatkumara said “spirit is rising” and we chanted again.

I was instructed to have everyone sit on the floor in one line. Each two people represented a chakra, legs in a V shape each person sat behind the other up to the seventh chakra.  Then we chanted, I jumped into the sarcophagus to seal some energy and raised my hands in a mudra, the chanting became very loud and thunderous. Sanatkumara prepared the energy and distracted our minds.

Then Sanatkumara instructed everyone to move forward and kiss the heart center of the person in front of them. Then He had every one lay back and in a swish of a moment energy grids unzipped along the Nile and under the pyramid deep into the Earth grids.   And in that moment HE released the karma of everyone in the group.  We were all changed forever.

Our time was up in the Kings Chamber and my guide was pushing us out the door. Leaving down the dimensional stairs was as monumental as arriving. I had no idea what reality I was in or what I was looking at.  This chamber is multi-dimensional.  We visited the Queen’s chamber for just a few minutes to integrate some of this energy and out we were back to day light.

The energy around the pyramids is deep into the earth not so wide spread.  We drove to the Sphinx and the Temple of the Sphinx, where I could have sworn there were two Sphinxes.  With all the people around and after that profound experience I had no desire to see anything. I wanted to go back and rest.  I don’t remember coming back or how we got back to the hotel.

One final experience was horse back ride out past the pyramids in the desert on Arabian horses.

Sanatkumara’s energy provided openings every were we went. No matter how trivial our minds made it there was a learning experience. We did group work every day, meditations and ceremonies at as many temples as we could. Sanatkumara gave us a teaching on projection that was profound.  

Sanatkumara informed me that two gateways opened in Egypt.  One is for Divine Feminine and the other for Divine Masculine. It is for the balancing of these to energies that we can permanently open the heart and move from the limitation of the second chakra to a higher vibration in these dense physical bodies.  This is Sacred Union. As these two portals open and release you'll be able to tap into ancient memory long buried and held in check for future civilizations.

The best way I can explain this, is past life and Soul memory are often given in layers, as the human releases the personality constrictions and integrates more with the Divine Self and the Soul is able to expose more. To be whole we must stay 100% conscious at all times. This journey is difficult at times and causes us to judge experiences and create more fear.  It's our relationship with fear that constricts us or lack of relationship.

Your Soul cannot fully exposure all its truth to you because it would overwhelm the personality.  The personality would make judgment and stop forward movement.  So the Soul exposes only what the personality can use that is why traveling to these ancient sites is so important. It gets the personality out of the picture—by distraction—waking up early in the morning and creating tiredness, or camel and horse rides to distract the personality from profound work taking place at a deep level.

The many tours and the people who have traveled with me prior to this one, helped prepare the energy for these portals to open—the Feminine and Masculine—with the purpose to create Sacred Union.

Since the early times of this new age movement the journey is to maintain an open heart. The heart can not blossom and completely open when the lower chakras (1, 2, 3) are closed by fear, denial, unworthiness, lack or emotional addictions.

The grids that opened on this journey are for your healing.  As this energy circulates through your own personal grids you’ll experience a deeper connection—to your Divine Self—which is made up of both masculine and feminine energy.

The feminine can only rise when she is safe and loved. The divine masculine is NOT what we see today in the western world—the aggression, abuse of power and control.   As we heal our inner awareness the outer awareness heals.  In other words to change the outer view of the world we must change our inner world. What we see in our environments is merely a projection of mass consciousness fears, anger, control and manipulation. 

Around everyone just like the earth there are energy grids---a matrix. They remind me of strings on a guitar, like notes played on the strings music is release and so this is done for you. In the early 1990’s I was given a healing practice by Sanatkumara to clear these grids for humanity.  I stopped doing the work because humanity was not able to hold the new patterns. That is why Sovereign Light elixirs were created to help hold new patterns.

Until April 10th I was unable to function. I vibrated in another dimension. I had no idea what reality I was in. I had to ask myself, okay Paula is today, Monday or Tuesday, and we are in what state? I slept for about 20 hours and things began to calm down.  In my Friday evening class someone mentioned that she saw royal blue light emitting from my hands. I hope that is a good sign.

Many times in Egypt I could not connect. Not like I connected in India or Bali. I sense that my personal journey in Egypt is very old and ancient and is extremely buried today.  I’m better now and very different.

There is one more trip to Egypt because something still needs to change in that region. It has something to do with the original patterning for Earth. We are returning in September-October 2008, will you join us?

"I feel blessed and lucky to have been a part of the trip. Being in the Kings chamber and the sailing down the NILE released memories and the experience was life changing." Elaine H., Hypnotherapist, Egypt 2007, NJ

“I would travel anywhere with Sanatkumara again! It is a true gift to be in HIS and Paula’s presence, and I have yet to come away with nothing gained in myself each time I am with them. The love and acceptance that is given when with them helps me to find that "higher level" in myself and to integrate more each time into the person that I TRULY AM and hold that space more and more permanently.

Even in the "uncomfortable" moments there was an opportunity to learn and grow. The love, "consciousness", and support each person brought to the trip made each experience so much more than I could have ever imagined before embarking on this journey.” Deb S., Logistic Specialist, Egypt 2007, ABQ

“The changes in my being are profound. I was able to sense and feel "different". I felt as if I had a newly planted garden that took up the whole front of my torso.  I loved everything about Egypt.  I loved the group work.  I enjoyed being on the Nile. Thank you for your intense attention. The trip was a flaw-less.” Jody H., Physical Therapist, Egypt 2007, TX

“I want to thank you and Sanatkumara for such a wonderful journey.  Words cannot equal the thanks and gratitude in my heart.  You lead a most incredible journey into my heart, mind, soul and spirit, and through Egypt.  What an incredible group Sanatkumara has assembled.  I appreciate all of the support and learning from this group.  I am blessed, honored and so graciously thankful.  Thank you,  thank you, thank you, to you Paula & Sanatkumara.”  Kristi McG., Massage Therapist, Egypt 2007, TX

“I find myself hungry for more connection, deeper connection, deeper truths and greater integration. The trip in its entirety was perfect.  Thank you again for an incredible journey, a deep and life-changing journey."  Michael R., Massage Therapist, Egypt 2007, CA

“Amazing to experience in Sanatkumara’s energy and the energy of the temples and pyramids. I really enjoyed the group time too and learnt so much. I just feel deeply honored to have had the opportunity, and have received so much from the experience.”  Simeon B., Nurse, Egypt 2007, UK

" I didn’t like this trip I loved it! I was so grateful for the group work I learned and processed much easier with the awareness of the group energy.  The group work and support that Sanatkumara and you facilitate are the best part of the journey for me.  I felt all my senses heightened and felt so supported through my journey.

I would travel with Sanatkumara anytime or anywhere.  The journey was unbelievable and can only be understood by experiencing and being in His caring energy day and night.  This journey fulfills my dream of getting closer to becoming my Divine Self, aligning with my Soul and true creative intentions.

Paula, from the core of my heart I offer tears of gratitude and love for your commitment of bringing Sanatkumara into our consciousness once again.”  Anne S., Healer, Egypt 2007, Ohio
