Excerpt from Chapter One of The Atlantean Legacy


Taking a deep breath, she ventured inside the Temple. The Grand Foyer was a huge room, richly decorated, with a vaulted ceiling, tall columns, and immense stained-glass windows. Faceted colored crystals the size of a baby’s head were inset into each of the columns. The stained-glass windows were designed to allow sunlight and moonlight to strike the crystals at different angles during the day and throughout the night. Generating a particular hue all through the room at a specific time each day, each color of the spectrum carried within it an identifiable vibration. The early light of morning awakened a vibrant red tone that corresponded with the grounding aspects of the first chakra. Eventually all the colors of the rainbow passed through the Grand Foyer during the day, ending with a radiant violet that not only resonated with the seventh chakra but also with the oncoming night sky. And in the evenings, the light of the stars and the moon would shine through the crystals creating a silvery lavender hue that glowed throughout the vestibule.
In the back part of the Grand Foyer an imposing double-arched marble doorway surrounding an ornately carved set of shining brass doors, opened into the Great Hall. No one was around so she walked over and tried the doors. They were locked. She noticed that the Great Hall was centered between two corridors that projected out on either side of the foyer. Since there were no locked doors keeping her out of the hallways, she wandered down the left corridor as far as she thought was acceptable.
As Akana sauntered down the passageway, it dawned on her that she was in the world-famous Infirmary about which she had heard stories since her childhood. She passed a series of rooms, each equipped with crystals of all kinds and what looked like some kind of healing equipment. Although she wanted to explore the Infirmary in detail, she decided it would be prudent not to go any further until she got permission. Hopefully, she would have the chance to return later and look more closely.
She didn’t see anyone in the foyer yet, so she traipsed over to look at the other hallway on the right of the Great Hall. It held the Temple Sanctuary and several smaller private sanctuaries and meeting rooms. The Temple Sanctuary was open, so she peeked in the door. The walls, of a yellow cream hue, captured the dazzling light as it blazed through the ceiling-to-floor windows lining the front of the room. Overhead, the clear glass ceiling grandly displayed the glorious blue skies of Atlantis. The floor of the room was made of a colorful mosaic tile. A beautiful wool runner graced its middle, stretching from the door in the back to a small platform that looked like a type of stage extending across the front of the room.
She felt as if she were invading a sacred space so she hurriedly tiptoed out of the room and went back to the reception area in the Grand Foyer. She sat down on a bench and soaked in the rays of the orange mid-morning hues that shone directly on her body, producing a calming yet euphoric sense of well-being.

During these times, the bombardment of frenetic vibrations has interjected itself upon Planet Earth, shifting our daily lives, our energetic balance. As this becomes more pronounced, much information has been clarifying itself in my mind. I have become aware through several sources, especial Tom Kenyon, that Gratitude itself beyond appreciation or being thankful for something specific, is a high vibrating energy field.

I have realized recently that the way to make it through these energy shifts is to train our neuropathways to be directly connected to that higher vibrating field of Gratitude. When the chaotic, hysterical energy hits the planet, and you pick up the insanity, you can immediately put yourself in that energy field, which for me feels soft and protective, like a fuzzy blanket, but also with tinges of happy surprises, wonderful vacations, and magical rainbows.

Tom Kenyon suggests that for several times a day, you hold the feeling of gratitude in your heart. You can enter into this energy field by thinking about something you are grateful for; feel that emotion of gratefulness; from there expand the feeling. Eventually you can let go of any reason for the gratitude; just be in it; bask in it for two minutes. Do this several times per day. This will build that neuropathway to the higher vibration.

Learn the difference between these vibrations. Discern that the negativity is not YOU; it is a vibration that is prevalent on the planet. You can CHOOSE to change to a higher frequency. Once you do, you are in a bubble of safety; this energy attracts only those energies that vibrate at that rate or higher, such as love, peace, and joy. This is what it means to practice gratitude. It's easy; it’s simple; and it works!

Note: Choosing is key here. The energy of victimhood is powerfully addictive. You must be willing to give that up. Once you do, you walk into your own power, which is heart-based, not controlling or ego based, and allows for each soul to be on his or her own path. This may not look like yours or follow your choices. You need to be able to let them go; let go of the need to "help" or control anyone or the outcome of their action. At this stage in the game, we may lose friends who vibrate in a different frequency that does not harmonize with your own. This is a natural process, to be expected. If you try and hold on, it brings your energy back down.
