Sarasota, Crystal City of Light

SARASOTA – A CRYSTAL CITY OF LIGHT

    Sarasota, about an hour south of Tampa, is a beautiful city on the southwestern
    shores of Florida’s Gulf of Mexico.  It is home to Siesta Key, a pristine, powdery,
    white-quartz crystal beach that is has been voted number one of the “Top-10 Best
    Beaches of the World.”  Visitors or spiritual seekers know from the moment they
    arrive in Sarasota that it's a different place. Many who came to visit went home,
    sold their homes, quit their jobs and returned here to live.  

It's not just the beautiful beaches, the old Spanish architecture, the Ringling Art
Museum, the universities, the outstanding restaurants and shops, St. Armand’s
Circle, or the art community that calls to visitors.  There’s something much deeper
and much more noticeable about the city.  No place of similar size has as many
spiritual centers, alternative medicine practitioners, energy workers and  healers
of different modalities and disciplines, yoga centers, metaphysical bookstores,
or spiritual teachers and life coaches.  Two world renowned organizations, one
Buddhist and the other Taoist recently broke ground on centers that will have
national and international prominence.  There are so many spiritual classes, workshops, seminars, or meditation
groups offered daily it’s like being in a spiritual all-you-can-eat buffet.  

NUMEROLOGY OF SARASOTA

    From a numerological point of view, the beach, the city and the state all resonate
    at a high master vibrational frequency.  The Master Vibration numbers have the
    potential for influence on the world stage.  Florida is a Master Number 11
    reflecting “brotherly love on a grand scale.”  Sarasota is a Master Number 22
    reflecting the “ability to manifest easily as the master builder, ambassador and
    diplomat.”  Siesta Key is a Master Number 33, reflecting the “spiritual teacher of
    higher consciousness, connecting with the Oversoul.”  

THE CALLING

Those who settled here know they were called to a shared vision and a common purpose.  Within days of arrival,
they found like-minded people whose talents and skills complemented each other.
Moving easily through the community, bonds were forged, alliances were created,
and spiritual connections were made, forming a cohesive, spiritual wholeness in
the community as though it had been fashioned from an invisible net.  

Many saw the city as a future ‘crystal city of light’ that was waiting to be birthed.  
Two residents wrote poems dated 1993 and 2007 in which they described a “future
city of light on the bay.”  Their words and visualizations were complimented in books like The Keys of Enoch,
Secrets of Amenti, and Calling Humanity which described Sarasota as a “sacred city of the new earth” or a “portal
or stargate” city.

THE PRISM OF LIGHT VISION

In the beginning of 2008, from the world of ideas and dreams a Vision unfolded over the next six months,
becoming clearer as time went by.  The Vision from the unseen worlds and dimensions showed that a future-
generation city of light would emerge.  The city would be filled with love, light, healing, writing, art and music.  The
foundation already existed but the seed for Sarasota as a Crystal City of Light was to be planted on the Summer
Solstice of 2008.  It was to be one of 22 Planetary Crystal Cities of Light that would become light-beacons and
sacred sites for the future generations of earth.

THE MAP

    The Vision presented itself as an ethereal diamond-shaped Prism of Light over a map of
    southwestern Florida.  The Prism outline stretched 55 miles from Holmes Beach in the
    North to Warm Mineral Springs in the South and 22 miles from Siesta Key Beach in the
    West to Myakka State Park in the East.  The internal lines of the Prism aligned with
    spiritual centers and temples which existed along a north-south axis.  Each of the four
    points in the diamond turned out to be locations of sacred sites that were important to
    the native people who lived on the land centuries ago.

    Within hours of releasing the map of the Prism of Light, those who heard about it in the
    spiritual community stepped forward to anchor or be part of the Prism.  In an effortless
    process, friends, light-workers, and spiritual leaders declared themselves ready to
    participate in shaping this sacred Vision on the Summer Solstice, 2008.  

Across the miles, 222 people gathered at the four points of the diamond and all along the facets of the Prism at
noon on June 20, 2008.  Men, women and children gathered on beaches, in forests, in gardens and at seven
spiritual centers.  They held the consciousness that each of us was a Prism within the greater Prism.  With bells,
rattles, drums, and tonings, they proclaimed that each person present was a reflection of the light and love of the
work each was called to do.  They professed their intentions to seed the future City of Light in Sarasota where
healing, teaching, alternative medicine, art, music, and writing would be guided and infused by spirit.

THE NEW JERUSALEM

    Later that evening, under a Full Moon at Unity of Sarasota’s Labyrinth, 350 men,
    women and children, gathered to unite in sacred ceremony.  The
    multigenerational group in Sarasota united in fellowship with a group known as the
    Abrahamic Reunion holding a similar gathering that night in Jerusalem.  The
    collective intention of the two groups was that a portal would be opened and
    anchored over the troubled city of Old Jerusalem while seeding a New Jerusalem.  

    The New Jerusalem, one of the 22 Future Cities of Light, would be filled with hope,
    love, peace, and acceptance for all peoples.  

In sacred ceremonies at the Labyrinth, an Incan Despacho (thanksgiving prayer bundle) was offered to Mother
Earth.  In meditation, the group sounded rounds of OM which opened the Stargate of the Prism of Light, calling
forth the 1000 years of peace, harmony and unity on earth promised by all the sacred teachings.  And so it was!

CROP CIRCLE CONFIRMATION

The spiritual community of Sarasota, along with the next two generations of children,
seeded the Crystal City of Light on the Summer Solstice of 2008.  As we reflected on
what we did, little did we know that just over a week later the Prism of Light would be
validated by a Crop Circle which appeared in the wheat fields of Wiltshire, UK on
June 30th.  The circle mimicked the map design of the Prism of Light.  The Crop Circle
was a diamond-shaped Prism with facets and there in the center was the circular portal
opening.

    Shahabuddin David Less, the spiritual leader of Rising Tide Spiritual Center anchored
    the circle in the center of the Prism of Light.  He remarked that “The building of the third
    Temple” referred to in Judeo-Christian scriptures is the most important.  It is not
    physical.  It is not real estate.  It is not owned by governments.  The Third temple will be
    built by each one of us through the consciousness of love.  We will put in whatever we
    can and the energy will coalesce from the human heart.  There will be a profound
    change for we are at the point of a great shift in consciousness.  We are beings who
    have great power.  We are the ones who will love, regardless of what we see.  We do
    good because we can.  This is our potential and this is the us we are becoming.”


UPDATE 2010 – GULF OIL SPILL BUBBLE OF PROTECTION

Recently, climatologists have said that the southwestern portion of Florida, stretching from Tampa Bay to the
Everglades is in a protected field called, 'the forbidden zone.'  Meteorologists and scientists say the shape of the
coastline of this area of Florida, the ocean bottom configuration, and the prevailing winds tend to create upwelling
currents that take water away from the coastline.

Some scientists have also said the Tampa Bay area is in a "bubble of protection."  
Based on a scientific study of 194 probes planted in the Gulf, the scientific reports
indicate that this area is at "minimal risk of receiving surface oil."  from the BP oil spill.

Our community created a Prism of Light on the summer solstice of 2008.  Working
with the natural protection of this region known to the native peoples, we gathered
at high noon to set an "ethereal diamond-shaped prism" under a "bubble of light"
stretching 1210 square miles from Holmes Beach in the north, to Warm Mineral Springs in the south, the Gulf in
the west and Myakka in the east.  

Energy follows intention.  Thought, followed by word and action, creates form. It appears the Prism of Light
created a "forbidden zone" or "bubble of protection" that is now made manifest to the scientific community based
on their recent findings.  Our on-going work with the Water Blessings and other sacred gatherings continue to
bring harmony and balance to this area of Florida, but further, the Light from the Crystal City goes forth as a
beacon of love and divine grace to all the world.
