Flower of Life
Drunvalo Melchizedek ( born as Bernard Perona in 1941 )[1] is an author and spiritual teacher, who lives in Sedona, Arizona.[2] Drunvalo completed most of a Basic degree in Physics and Mathematics before switching to a fine arts degree which he was awarded in 1970.[3] His fine arts degree was from the University of California at Berkeley, obtained without finishing the course due to clerical errors by the university.[citation needed]
He adopted the name Drunvalo Melchizedek after studying at the Alpha and Omega Order of Melchizedek in Vancouver, Canada.[3]
He has written four books and issued a video:
- The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life Volume I, ISBN 1891824171
- The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life Volume II, ISBN 189182421X
- Living in the Heart, ISBN 1891824430
- Serpent of Light - Beyond 2012, ISBN 1578634016
- 2012 Prophecies From the Heart (video from Clear Sighted Media[4])
Many areas of Drunvalo's work in his books are more experiential, and extend beyond the experience of most of the population and may require suspension of judgment until the reader has sought to test what Drunvalo teaches through practice in their own life. For example:
- While Merkaba meditation is based in the ancient Hebrew concept of Merkabah which has some documented history, Drunvalo teaches Merkaba Meditation is a breathing and meditation technique which he tells allows the individual to soul travel to other dimensions and communicate with angels and other beings.[3]
Drunvalo writes that his life of spirituality began when he learned meditation, and after around four to five months alleges that he had two angels appear to him, who have been accessible to him by meditation ever since.[2] Since Drunvalo first claimed that the angels appeared to him, he says that they guided him to meet with more than seventy different teachers and mentors around the world, who have shared their knowledge of different areas of spirituality with him.
Contents
The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life Volumes 1 and 2
Merkaba MeditationThese volumes were published in April 1999 and May 2000 respectively by Light Technology Publications.
They encompass the materials that Drunvalo teaches in his Flower of Life workshops.
The content takes in:
- An outline of sacred geometry and the part it plays in the creation of everything in the universe
- Background and theories with respect to the ancient civilizations of Lemuria, Atlantis, and Ancient Egypt, including the sources of humanity including the Nephilim and the Sirius people
- Merkabah meditation
- The five levels of consciousness[3]
Drunvalo describes Merkaba meditation as creating a 55-foot-wide (17 m) energy field around the body with two counter-rotating tetrahedrons spinning at about 90% of the speed of light. Drunvalo writes that the energy from the Merkaba field is strong enough that it has routinely set off radars and electromagnetic monitoring equipment resulting in visits from helicopters sent to investigate in the middle of his workshops.[3] He describes how he and groups he has worked with have been able to amplify intention through their Merkaba fields and for example create clean air for several miles around them, visible in the skies above them, by the ring of polluted air beyond.
Living in the Heart
Living in the Heart was published in November 2003 by Light Technology Publications.
In this book Drunvalo focuses on the sacred space in the heart, which he says the reader can access at will through meditation and training. He states that when you access the sacred space of the heart, you are at one with all of life, connected to and sensing all energy. The proposition is that modern western humans are in their mind and see themselves as separate to everything in the world. Drunvalo teaches that by accessing the sacred space in your heart, you can create anything.[5]
Serpent of Light - Beyond 2012
Serpent of Light - Beyond 2012 was published in January 2008 by Weiser Books.
This book is a diary of events beginning around the time the Dalai Lama left Tibet, at which time Drunvalo alleges an event began which only occurs once every 13,000 years, the movement of the Earth's Kundalini or Serpent of Light, which had run from the Earth's core to the surface of the earth in the Tibetan Mountains for 13,000 years. He tells of his involvement in a series of events with many indigenous peoples in ceremonies that played a part in facilitating the successful movement of the Serpent of Light to its new home in the high Andes of Chile.
The book describes the emergence of what he calls the Unity Consciousness Grid, and of the callings that drew him and others to play a part in completing it. This grid will play a part in the shift in consciousness that will occur sometime within "The End of Times" window lasting from 2007-10-24, when the Hopi prophecy of the Blue Star was fulfilled[citation needed], to 2014-10-24 and not necessarily on the date when the wheels of the Maya calendar align on 2012-12-21.
The Unity Consciousness Grid is said to be a network of energetic connections between sacred temples and sites around the globe and special crystals which link them, creating a grid which will support an increasing, shared, "unity consciousness".
Through the years to 2012, the book prophesies a movement to feminine-led consciousness which will last through to the end of the next 13,000 year cycle.[6]
