Giving thanks for Revelation…

I am basking in the afterglow, eternally grateful to Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith and his glorious team at the Agape International Spiritual Center.  I just returned from four intense, illuminating, empowering, transcendent days of Revelation, Agape’s annual celebration and conference.

I delighted in a weekend of prayer, song, chanting, dance, meditation, and LOVE, sharing a delicious and exultant experience with the Agape community and their distinguished guests.

Many spiritual and political leaders from all over the globe attended, and I deeply connected with them and other radiant individuals, and together we elevated our vibration so HIGH, uplifting the world around us.  Opportunities and practices for us to live more consciously and peacefully were revealed.  We shared a sacred moment in eternity; remembering and relishing in our essential nature and reflecting divine love with one another.

I am reminded of a quote from the Buddha who said, “The only worthwhile pursuit of any intelligent man should be to know something that can not be destroyed by death.” Revelation created the sacred space to remember that which can not be destroyed by death – our divine essence, our union with Source.

I spoke Friday morning and shared practices to release reactive thinking and distorted perceptions as we come home to the Source of our presence and power.

I was blessed to hear Van Jones, author of The Green Collar Economy, give an informative and uproarious speech about how we can solve two of our nations most pressing challenges – our economy and our environment – by creating “green jobs.”  Thank you, Van, for sharing your profound wisdom, humor and experience.

Dr. Will Coleman spoke about biblical spirituality. Turns out he is a mystic scholar on Kabbalah and I’ve been devotedly studying Kabbalah for years.  He and I shared many meaningful conversations over the four days, and I am so inspired and elated to visit him and in Atlanta this week and go deeper into the wisdom of the great mystery schools.

Dr. Rickie Byars Beckwith along with Tim McAfee-Lewis and the extraordinarily talented choir and chorus of musicians riveted my heart and soul with their rousing renditions of my favorite Agape songs.  Thank you Rickie; you inspire me endlessly.

Many deep and profound thanks and blessings to all the incredibly loving and supportive Agape volunteers and staff members who assisted me and my team and provided the most nurturing, loving and uplifting environment for us all.

I give thanks to all the musicians, artists, performers who made my spirit soar, and all the creative geniuses who shared their gifts.

I also have deep gratitude for the divine flow, profound insights, and sacred connection that was reflected in the presence of Brother Ishmael Tetteh and Bishop Carlton Pearson.

And of course, infinite love, light, blessings, thanks and appreciation to my friend, teacher and a source of profound inspiration, Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, who continues to surprise, delight and inspire me with his sermons and teachings.  I am ever uplifted by your presence and your gift to humanity.

I highly encourage YOU to attend Revelation next year, April 14-17.  It’s been a profound journey, and I know it will certainly inspire your own, personal Revelation.

One person’s awakening elevates the consciousness of the planet – You are the One!

Blessings,

Niurka
