A Sequel to the Open Letter

(Sent to the Facilitators, Graduates and
Friends of the Flower of Life in October 2002)

December 2002

The Open Letter really was in two parts. One was talking about the independent facilitators, who were trained by the Flower of Life organization, and the other about people who have taken the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation without permission and began teaching without any training, which is more important than no permission. I will do my best to explain each in their own way.

There is another aspect, where a few people feel that all I am trying to do by writing the Open Letter is to protect my copyrights and what they think is my organization, The Flower of Life. From rereading the Open Letter, I believe this is probably a legitimate response but not an accurate one. Some people believe that I am protecting my copyrights and don't understand that there are more important issues than copyrights. The most important issue is the proper transmission of the FOL material with integrity and responsibility to ensure that no one gets hurt by it or have it empower their ego and personal self-serving agendas, which we have seen happens all too often. I will explain this area first and in so doing I will probably answer part of the first one having to do with untrained teachers.

Long ago, in the early 90's, I was teaching this information and felt at one point that the information was developed enough through my workshops to simply let it go to the world without any restraint whatsoever. After all, the angels wanted this understanding to go out to the world, so why try to stop it?

So I had one of my workshops videoed and let the video go out to the world unrestrained. No control on the copyrighted material. No money coming back to me from the videos. No control on the meditation believing that anyone who watched the videos (about 33 hours long) would be able to understand the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation and would no longer need me. And I believed, at that time, that people would be able to teach each other the meditation and thereby spread this knowledge. This was fine with me, and it was my prayer. I just wanted to fulfill my agreement with the angels.

After about nine or ten months of the video series being distributed around the world, I met with a group of people all of whom had seen the videos series, but none had come to one of my living workshops. (Many other groups backed this up later.) There were 90 people in this group, and I felt this would be a good test case to see how the video series was doing. I had this group for five hours to ask them questions and to test them. I thought as I begun that I might find one or two people who didn't understand the videos, and that most of the people would.

To my surprise, and sorrow, only 15% of this group was able to understand the meditation from the videos and not make major mistakes. The other 85% were completely wrong. Many of them were not even close. They had every conceivable idea the human mind could think of to interpret my instructions for the meditation. It was a mess. As time progressed, I also began having people call me at home at all hours of the day or night needing to be rescued from performing the Mer-Ka-Ba incorrectly.

This was very upsetting to me, since it meant that my work was not over. I have to admit, I would rather just play music. So, what to do? After talking this problem over with many people that I worked with and with the angels, it was decided that if people are going to see these videos and be exposed to this information, there had to be one practiced, trained and knowledgeable person in the group that was watching over the students and videos who actually knew what the videos were talking about in order to keep the rest of the people on track and to make sure that the students understood and actually performed the meditation correctly. Creating the FOL organization to oversee the proper transmission and performance of the FOL material and the Mer-Ka-Ba with integrity was what I had to do to be responsible to my students. At that time I was simply concerned that people were making too many mistakes.

From this decision, the Flower of Life facilitator program was born to ensure the proper transmission and performance of the Mer-Ka-Ba. We began to train people to become FOL facilitators to make sure that they really understood what was being taught so that they could in turn responsibly teach the people who watched the videos. If they qualified, they were certified as a Flower of Life Facilitator. Eventually I even gave away the FOL organization to one of the facilitators who I thought could hold the integrity of the organization in the way I originally intended. I insisted that it remain as a legal organization and that the FOL material be spread responsibly and with integrity.

I personally, at this time, do not receive one penny from the students of the Flower of Life videotapes; however, I did insist that each facilitator send back to the FOL organization a very small percentage of the student's tuition in order to ensure that the FOL organization is maintained. The FOL organization I started is not owned by myself, as many people have believed, nor is it true that I make a whole lot of money from the FOL organization. I make nothing from the students. The facilitator makes the majority of the money with very little sent back from the facilitator to maintain the organization. I have no legal connection to the Flower of Life organization other than a contract giving them permission to teach this information responsibly with clarity and integrity. My connection with the FOL is an ethical and moral one, being that they oversee the responsible distribution of the material I released to the world.

Now as far as my "copyrighted material", this was necessary in order for a publisher to publish a book, which the angels had insisted that I do. Publishers will not publish your work unless it is copyrighted so that they will not lose their money. But at the same time, personally I have never cared about the copyrights. I wanted the information to go out to the world.

People have taken everything I have done in my life and even put it in their own books and sold it without giving me any compensation whatsoever. But I have not tried to stop them. The only part that I have stopped, or attempted to stop, is people teaching the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation itself because I have seen what happens when people are not trained and begin teaching. They make so many mistakes it is serious and people are harmed.

In fact, even when facilitators are highly trained under our watchful eyes, they sometimes still make mistakes in their understanding, which gets transmitted to their students. When this happens, and we find out, we have to go back and correct the situation. But because we monitor these teachers, we usually find out the truth of their teaching.

What I have found so serious, and have been saying very little out to the world, is that some of these people who have taken the class from me or a FOL facilitator or simply just read the books, have taken it upon themselves to begin teaching the meditation saying that I gave them special permission to teach or some higher force told them to do so, and then that this same higher force has told them to change the instructions. This meditation is not something that I made up. It came from the angels (not Thoth as some have suggested) and not one thing in it can be changed without changing everything.

The Mer-Ka-Ba meditation is like the Torah (and is secretly taught in the Torah). The instructions for the Torah, that every Jew knows, is that not one word in this book could be changed, for if one word was changed it would make the Torah completely wrong and useless. Now we know, from the "Bible Code" that the Torah is a computer code, and like a computer code, if one letter in the HTML programming is changed the entire web document is changed.

The Mer-Ka-Ba meditation as it was given to me by the angels is billions of years old and is the result of countless millions of civilizations using these instructions to transform and transmute their civilizations into higher consciousness. These instructions have proven themselves over long periods of time and under a myriad of circumstances. They do not need to be changed nor can they be changed, for if they are, they will almost certainly led the meditator into a state of consciousness that was not intended by the consciousness that gave these instructions to this world, and this can be extremely dangerous. The changing of the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation is equal to a mutation of the DNA. What the result will be, only God knows.

Further, many people, like Alton Kamadon, (who used to use the name Alton Melchizedek) and Gary Smith took this information from me, without permission and without asking or even saying thank you, and that I can easily forgive, but they both began to change the meditation in ways that makes me extremely concerned for the spiritual welfare of their students.

Further, again, they stole a specific advanced meditation of the Mer-ka-ba (different than what is taught in the Flower of Life class or through my books) that was never intended to be used by human beings as individuals. It was a meditation used by planets (through people) to begin their Mer-Ka-Ba fields. This was completely misunderstood by both of these men and others who are now teaching it. I myself, am not allowed to use it again as it's purpose has been achieved. Woe to these people who are using this Mer-Ka-Ba field. They are all in for a huge surprise in time that will not be comfortable. I have asked both of them to stop teaching this information, but they do not listen nor care what happens to the people that follow them.

To show you how people can influence other people who do not know the truth, look at Anna Hayes. She wrote a book called Voyagers under an assumed name of Ashayana Deane. In this book she claims that she is receiving this information from "The Guardian Alliance", which, according to Anna is "an immense group of beings residing within a myriad of dimensional locations within the Space/Time Matrix". Anna says that they are experts of "Merkaba Mechanics", and she says that this source is saying that the Mer-Ka-Ba field that I am teaching is wrong and has a reversed field. (A reversed field is one of the most serious misunderstanding that can even result in death of the body and a confused spiritual path for sometime afterwards) Let's look at an actual quote from her book:

"The "fixed" tailbone Merkaba Field is the mark of the Nibiruian Merkaba-Reversal that keeps the physical body literally locked into its present time vector and unable to achiever Star Gate passage - another of several other "little secrets that Thoth and his friends conveniently forgot to mention to their human "students"."

"Most of the humans who have fallen into using or teaching the Nibiruian Reverse-Merkaba have been covertly "set up" by the Thoth-Enki-Zephelium or Alpha-Omega Templar Melchizedek Anunnaki races to propagate this Base-11Reverse Merkaba perversion. Most, but not all, human teacher of Merkaba do not realize that they have been deceived in this way, and are not intentionally bringing harm to their students; the teachers themselves are being victimized and deceived by Fallen Angelic contacts."

Further Anna Hayes (Ashayana Deane) says, "Galactic Federation and Ashtar Command Anunnaki collectives, you will not realize that you inadvertently created External Reverse-Merkaba field is being actively used to amplify the 34-Top-Magnetic Counter-clockwise, 21-Bottom-Electrical-Clockwise and BASE-11-acceleration Nibiruian reverse-Merkaba spin ratio is in Earth's grids."

This last statement by Anna Hayes (Ashayana Deane) proves that the source of her information is misinformed (at the least).

In the Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Volume II, page 356, under the heading. "Spinning the tetrahedrons, top and bottom only." I say, "This is one of the biggest mistakes people make."

The Melchizedek tradition does not teach, nor has it ever, that we spin the top tetrahedron one-way and the bottom one the other way. Anyone who has studied this work carefully knows this is not true. This is wrong, and I clearly say so. Further the set of tetrahedrons that spin counter-clockwise 34 is electrical (not magnetic) and the set of tetrahedrons that spin clockwise 21 is magnetic (not electrical).

Anna Hayes (Ashayana Deane) is not only trying to reverse the Mer-Ka-Ba field, which is the most dangerous thing a meditator can do, but she is trying to reverse the archetypes in the entire universe, which goes against every religion that has ever existed since these things were understood. The "Fallen Angelic contacts" that she references in five paragraphs above is not Archangel Lucifer and his band, which most people would assume, but in her statements it is Archangel Michael. A quote from her book that references Archangel Michael, "More aptly described and historically known as "Arch-Demon Michael". She sees Archangel Michael as evil and the source of darkness. She even sees Jesus as evil. Yet, people are blindly following her. What she does offer humanity is the gift of discernment.

I have remained silent for a long time watching and listening to this chaos and confusion that many "teachers" are transmitting to the world. Now you have to make the choice. It is your decision. Go into your heart and listen. Your heart knows the truth. Keep it simple.

One more problem that must be addressed for there is more confusion around a specific person. This is the special case of Donna Kleipool. Donna was a Flower of Life facilitator for many years. She fully understood the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation and was one of our best teachers.

However, Donna wanted to become an independent facilitator separate from the Flower of Life organization for her own motivations. Donna did not want to abide by the contracts. In trying to solve this dilemma, I allowed a few facilitators who no longer wanted to abide by the contracts and regulations to operate as independents about a year ago. However, when this special permission was granted, Donna, and everyone involved in this special permission, was informed that they could teach anywhere in the world except for Latin America, as that was a place where the long version tapes were still being used. Latin America was placed off limits to her or anyone asking to be an independent facilitator.

She told me that she was going to teach in Holland or Europe, and I accepted that. Even her web site now comes out of Holland. But Donna changed her course and began teaching in Latin America, specifically in South America. She admitted to me personally that she was wrong in doing this, and so I cannot allow her to continue to teach in Latin America or anywhere else at this point. It is that simple.

I know that many people love her and respect Donna as a teacher, but she was not in integrity working in South America. Donna and a few other independent FOL facilitators broke the agreements they had with me in one way or another, so I have rescinded the entire idea of independent facilitators because of the chaos it was causing between the trained and certified Flower of Life teachers and because of the confusion that it was creating among students and the general public. I am no longer sanctioning any independent FOL facilitator or their workshops anywhere in the world.

I am deeply appreciative to the certified FOL facilitators who have consistently chosen to uphold the spirit and integrity of the contracts and agreements that embrace the whole of the FOL organization rather than supporting their own personal motivations. It is these people and their pure hearts that have helped so many people understand the nature of the Reality we all live in.

Please understand that out of hundreds of trained FOL facilitators in over 60 countries, only a handful of people, just six or seven, have caused these problems. The majority of the honest FOL facilitators have proven that they can "walk their talk" by living and teaching the principles taught in the Flower of Life. They have cooperated with each other with love and compassion, and from my heart to their hearts, I deeply thank them for their dedication.

Life is so complicated sometimes. All I ever wanted was to let the world have this information without problems. So for me, this has been an immense teaching about the people of Earth, human nature and the self-centeredness of the human ego.

I realize that many people feel that this information of the Flower of Life does not belong to me but to the world, and I would be the first person to agree. The problem is: "How does this information get into the hands of someone who really wants to know the truth without distortion, changes made by the ego, or cult like control issues?" I didn't even want to write this letter, but in order to maintain integrity of this information, I must set aside my feeling, and let you know why Flower of Life certified facilitators must be the only source for the teaching of the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation as it was given to me.

The happier side to all of this is that I believe that humanity will eventually drop their ego and cooperate and finally understand the human light body for what it really is, the creation pattern, and will make the great ascension into the next higher consciousness. This I am certain of. No matter what you think of me or this letter that is coming from my heart, I love you and wish the very best in Life for you. I believe in you, and that you will find your way out of this confusion and the darkness of this dense world and back Home to the Source of Life and Love.

God bless you.

In Love and Service,
