Avatars have brought successive revelations to humanity throughout history. Each Avatar brings some teaching which, correctly apprehended and gradually applied by humanity, expands our understanding and is the next step forward in our development.
The successive revelation to humanity of new aspects of reality has taken place throughout history and continues to do so, as the emergence of the Christ consciousness, demonstrates. In the West our knowledge is more or less confined to Christianity, but buried in most ancient myths and legends, and then later in Holy Scriptures, there are preserved records of the lives, presence and teachings of other, earlier teachers or Avatars.
Hercules
One of the first such teachers appeared so far back in time that it is impossible to say when he lived, but ancient legend carries the memory of His achievements: Hercules, a hero-teacher, portrayed "through the form of a pictorial and world drama (symbolic in nature) the concept of great objective, only to be reached as the result of struggle and difficulty." (Alice Bailey, the Reappearance of the Christ)
He presented to humanity the concept of tests and trials on the path back to the Father, the journey of evolution itself, epitomized and preserved in the Twelve Labors of Hercules. These are the tests all are subjected to prior to each initiation.
Vyasa
Vyasa was a great Avatar who brought to humanity the message that death is not the end. The impact of such an apparently simple concept was enormous, since it meant that the possibility now existed for identification with a higher immortal self rather than with the physical-plane life only.
The Buddha
There were many other lesser teachers between the time of Vyasa and the Buddha, but the Buddha was a major teacher who came to the East bringing enlightenment, the answers to the many questions which plague and puzzle humanity about its own existence. He came "to lay the foundation for a more enlightened approach to life, giving the teaching which would open the door to the work of the Christ who would, He knew, follow in His steps." (Alice Bailey, the Reappearance of the Christ)
By giving out the Four Noble Truths, He answered man's question: why? He taught that man's suffering was of his own making, and that the focusing of desire on the material and the ephemeral caused all despair, hatred and competition, and was why "man found himself living in the realm of death -- the realm of physical living . . . " His life, example and teachings prepared the way for the Christ. Coming approximately 500 years before the Christ, the Buddha was a manifestation of the Wisdom aspect of God, just as the Christ is the embodiment of the Love aspect. These two great Avatars continue to work together, the Buddha aiding and supporting Maitreya, the Christ, in His present mission to the world.
Buddhism, along with other religions, awaits the coming of another great teacher. He is known as Maitreya Buddha, the Fifth Buddha in the continuing line of divine revelation.
A comparison of all religions shows their common elements. "Eventually a new world religion will be inaugurated which will be a fusion and synthesis of the approaches of East and West. The Christ will bring together not simply Christianity and Buddhism, but the concept of God transcendent, outside His creation, and also the concept of God immanent in all creation." Both approaches will come together in a new religion based on the Mysteries of Initiation and an informed knowledge of the Science of Invocation of Deity.

Channels of light and healing energy
Author
Karla Solano
Everything existing in this universe is made up of energy. The human body for example is full of life energy, which when depleted causes our bodies to malfunction thus creating the appearance of disease.
It is important to recognize how crucial it is to maintain a well balanced physical, emotional and mental state of mind, so that our bodies don’t get run down by our daily stress and emotional battles. I understand how difficult this may get at times when our life seems to be upside down and nothing seems to be working out in our favor. But it is during moments like these when we must take the time to recharge and re-connect with the source of this wonderful life energy and draw from it all the infinite healing properties it can bring.
Recharging is a simple step in our lives but with our daily drama we tend to dismiss our body’s need to “plug- in” to the Life force energy that is available to all of us. One of the ways to connect with this life-energy is through meditation.
Meditation is a gateway that integrates mind, body and soul into one; allowing us to become whole again. If you have never tried meditation before it is ok, there is no science to it. All you need to do is find a quiet place and take time to breathe in a conscious way, taking long breadths as you have your eyes closed.
Another way is to listen to soothing music that takes you to a happier place in your mind and connecting with that joyful child within. Sitting at a park and closing your eyes as you listen to the life around you can also help in connecting with all that exists.
There are different ways to meditate for each one of us; the key is to find a method that will allow us to re-connect with the peaceful, feel-good vibration within so that we can cope with anything life throws our way without the need to overreact, without the use of anti-depressants and without the tendency to depend on others to make us happy.
Another way to connect with the life force energy within is through the use of Reiki; which is a Japanese stress-reduction technique that can restore the human body by simply applying life force energy along the electro-magnetic field of the body through our hands.
The life force energy uses the physical body of the person giving the Reiki as a channel or conductor by opening up the chakras (also known as energy centers) within the body and by releasing all negative blockages that don’t allow our bodies to open up to receive the flow of this infinite energy. While Reiki is being transmitted from the giver to the receiver, there is an exchange of energy. The Life-force energy fills the body with a supply of positive, healing and restorative energy according to the needs of the person receiving it.
We all have access to this infinite supply of Divine energy but we do not allow this energy to flow freely within our bodies because of the constant state of drama we hold on to in our day to day experiences. That is why it is important to practice meditation, putting time aside everyday for a few minutes to really quiet the mind is primordial in reaching a higher state of awareness and in keeping a balanced state of mind.
Everything you search for already exists within….All you need to do is become one with the true essence of your being.

Guarding our heart
Author
Karla Solano
There are many times in our lives when we come across situations that bring forth answers to understanding why we are a certain way. Relationships, for example, have a way of bringing out the best and the worst in us.
It is important to observe any patterns we keep re-living in each experience with others and question why we think situations are repeating themselves at different times of our lives. One of the major reasons why we re-live experiences that cause us pain is because we do not allow things to take place in a natural flow.
We are so preoccupied with taking control that we prematurely abort relationships before they even have a chance to emerge or on the contrary, we rush into relationships because we don’t like to be alone. This need to control the direction of any relationship is nothing more than the reflection caused by fear; whether is the fear of getting hurt or the need to always have someone by our side for the fear of being alone and having to face ourselves.
Guarding our heart is just a defense mechanism, a way to push people away before they get too close;We’ve all had our hearts broken at some point in our life causing us to create a very thick protective wall to guard our most precious and vulnerable organ….our heart. But the reality is that no matter what the circumstances are, we have to realize that unless we fully release the fear caused by past experiences and learn how to embrace and love ourselves unconditionally, we will never give the chance to anyone to fully be a part of our life in a meaningful way. Because we cannot give to anyone what we don’t give to ourselves.
Understanding that this protective wall can be broken down is the first step in the right direction to healing our emotional state, the second step is to go back to the past and identify the cause of our emotional blockages; asking ourselves what is it about previous experiences that we still carry within? What is it that doesn’t allow us to fully connect with others in a trusting way? Why do we let go before giving anything a true chance of just being? Why are we so afraid to committing ourselves to anyone? Why can’t we just enjoy each experience as they come without worrying about the outcome?
Answering these questions with honesty can really help us realize why we have put up that protective wall around our heart, and it will also help us see with clarity how to heal those past wounds so that we can be open and free to embrace, love and enjoy without hesitation all the relationships that we will encounter throughout our lifetime.

Life...A journey full of passing clouds
Author
Karla Solano
Looking back at the road left behind, I have come to understand that our journey on this earth is like a picturesque scene from a Monet painting; a scene from nature where sometimes the sky could be clear and bright with no clouds to obstruct our visibility, it could also be sunny but full of puffy clouds forming beautiful shapes in the sky or it could be grey and gloomy full of a rainy tempest.
Each scene represents times in our journey when we encounter situations and people that bring a special energy to match our vibration at a specific moment in our lives. Just like a sunny day, there are people who come into our life to bring us a sense of clarity, a sense of joy and calmness; these people usually have a good heart and they come to show us that life is nothing more than a playground. A playground where we can get loose and be a child again without worries of any kind, allowing life to envelop our being into a state of complete ecstasy.
A sky full of cotton-like puffy clouds forming beautiful shapes represents the people in our lives that come to show us how unique we all are. Just as those puffy clouds form beautiful shapes so do the people in our life create a vast planet full of individual souls with distinct traits that make us special and one of a kind. We are all beautiful beings put together on this planet to interact and learn from one another; our unique traits and talents combined can make us stronger as a human race. But unless we unite to share our common ground, the potential to give love and accept one another, we will always remain separate thus obstructing the path to a united world full of peace and joy. Learning to embrace the different shapes of the puffy clouds in our journey is the beginning of an amazing experience that can bring forth unimaginable lessons of self discovery and growth.
The rainy tempest is just a shift of energy, there are people who come into our experience and turn our world upside down creating the appearance of chaos and turmoil. These situations bring about the worse in us. The tempest brings out all of our emotions sadness, anger, loneliness, depression, and a sense of losing control. The rainy tempest as dismal as it may appear can also bring about the hidden courage we carry within; for sometimes it isn’t until we hit rock bottom that we realize that a change in our lives needs to take place and as a sudden ray of light shines upon our existence, the sun comes back out shining brighter than it ever did before the tempest bringing a sky full of unlimited possibilities and new experiences to rejoice upon.
Life is just a sky full of passing clouds; and just as the clouds, people come in and out of our life to share a moment in time when we are aligned with a specific soul to fulfill a purpose in our own path or the path of the people we come into contact with. Each time a cloud passes through our journey it takes a piece of our soul…a piece of our soul that will no longer return, leaving an empty space to be filled by a new passing cloud in the journey called life.

Living without Resistance
Author
Karla Solano
As the days go by and life takes its course, we are faced with situations that could bring upheaval and discomfort in our lives causing us to feel out of place; thus bringing out emotional reactions from within our deepest core. During these times, it is important not to resist the situations because by doing so we can make the experiences more difficult for ourselves.
The best way to cope with the curve balls in our life is to allow them to unfold the way they do, observing calmly and accepting them for the lessons that they are bringing into our existence. I know how hard it is to do this since we are emotional beings and we are programmed at an early age to react and take control of every situation we encounter. But I have also been fortunate enough to see how life always comes full circle by fulfilling the purpose of its reason for being; the chaos in our lives always brings with it the lasting calmness after the storm.
Nothing in our existence takes place without having a special purpose, therefore why do we get so caught up and stressed out about not being able to control every aspect of our daily grievances? The answer is very simple. It’s because our ego’s defense mechanism is to resist the flow of our Divine guidance. Our ego always wants to control, loves drama and cannot conceive of the idea that our natural state of being is pure harmony and bliss. Therefore it creates ways to resist and block this well being from taking place, instead of just letting life take its course into a perfect state of being.
When we practice letting go of the resistance, we become free. Free of stress, free of emotional imbalance, free of control. We liberate ourselves to enjoy a life without expectations, open to receive what it has to offer. Life becomes a smooth sail and things just start falling back into place when we least expect it.
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing how all the pieces of the puzzle are always there, ready to be put back together when we allow the flow of life to freely move about our existence without us getting in our own way to a synchronized, blissful and perfect experience.
Practice the art of letting go of resistance; it is the most powerful tool we have in order to live a life full of love, harmony, and perfect order. Once you practice this way of living you will be amazed at the positive results and you will begin to feel a sense of gratitude and freedom that will allow you to be more connected to all that exists in a more conscious way.

Divine Guidance
Author
Karla Solano
I have come to the realization that we are definitely watched over by an amazing Loving and Wise Energy Force. It has dawned upon me that as each day brings a new quest, a new worry and a new lesson; it also brings with it all the solutions, the answers and the tools to be able to figure out our lives in a very smooth way. Nonetheless, we tend to focus on the troubles and the lack even though the answers to our troubles are always staring us in the face.
Having a deep sense of connection to this Divine source can open up doors that we never thought possible. The key is to have an open heart and be very observant to all the signs that come into our life. Signs and messages are constantly being sent to us in many forms everyday of our existence but it is up to us to recognize those hidden messages that give us the answers to our personal situations.
We get so blinded by our ego and the need to control every situation that we can’t see past our own limitations. Life is more than what we can see and feel with our physical senses; therefore, how can we be so close minded to think that we are on this vast planet alone with no one watching over us, to guide us in the right direction?
Limitation, lack and sickness are creations of the human mind and our ability to see ourselves separate from a Divine Source. Even though we continue to disregard the concept that there is a bigger Divine energy aiding us in our everyday experiences; this Divine force continues on sending us rays of light each day with the hope that one day we will wake up to an expanded state of consciousness, when we can finally connect with this Infinite source of Divine magnitude and power to be able to overcome any appearance of limitation in our life.
Faith is the most important tool we have and in order for the expression of the Divine to manifest in our life we must open our hearts and allow ourselves to receive the flow of this Divine energy; without faith our lives are dull, meaningless, full of despair and limitations.
Why not start today to connect with this Infinite source which can only bring pure bliss, abundance, love, health, beauty and wisdom. Wouldn’t it be amazing to trust completely in the fact that it all takes care of itself in a graceful way and in alignment with what is best for us at any given moment?
So what is stopping you from accepting this reality into your world? Observe yourself and pay attention to any negative patterns and old habits that may be obstructing your connection and the path to the Infinite Source of all perfection and abundance.

Light Essence

Karla Solano
Light is all around me…Filling me with love...
I feel your Presence in my existence, guiding me through each experience I endure... And I can’t help but feel joy as your essence surrounds my world.
I ask questions and you answer faster than a ray of light... Yet I still get amazed by the miracles you bring to me each day... I long for your connection with my higher state of being and I cannot ever imagine going back to the way it was... Before my Soul found your Divine Presence in this physical core.
I thank you for all the blessings and for the unity with my Soul...May the light you shine upon me give me the courage to move on to a higher state of consciousness as I fulfill my Soul’s Divine purpose on this globe.
